AMONGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…

*How photogenic is a black hole??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)


THE TERRORIST REPORT…
*The Free Choice E-zine does not support terrorism, no matter what the “cause” or alleged “justification”. Thus we will only be posting news items in this section whenever terrorists are brought to justice.

😢PASSING PARADE…
*Actress Nadja Regin (James Bond’s From Russia With Love & Goldfinger) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Comic book writer James D. Hudnall (Espers, Interface, and many more) has passed away.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*President Trump declared the lack of a border wall a “national emergency”. There have since been
legal and legislative battles initiated over this.
*Trump prefers even MORE separation of families, or does he??? But it's still happening. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*Why did his Homeland Security Secretary resign???
*You can’t send someone back while they await your decision about asylum.
*So, does Trump want to close the Mexican border or not???
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to discuss the costs of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR detainees (to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
POLITICALLY…

*Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary has resigned. Trump fired his Director of the Secret Service and his acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is about to leave. Is the Department of Homeland Security in trouble??? (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)

*Trump knows better than his military top brass???
*Fewer women in Trump’s Cabinet???
*Even if the President and his fellow Republicans win re-election, Trump is having difficulties finding people to develop whatever might replace Obama Care.
*Warner Brothers is suing Donald Trump over a legal matter.
*What might Donald Trump’s tax returns actually reveal??? Not everyone agrees with the President withholding them, and he may not be on every ballot if he doesn't present them! (There are 4/FOUR separate links in this item.)
*Trump Hotels can still accept foreign payments when others can’t???
THE MUELLER REPORT…
*The report will allegedly be released to Congress within a week, but in what form???
*Has Attorney General Barr changed his opinion???
