*Zuzana Caputova has become both the youngest and first female President-elect of Slovakia.
*American President Donald Trump has decided NOT to close the US-Mexican border, for now.
*Recreational cannabis is now legal in Guam.


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…
*Model/actress Tania Mallet (James Bond’s Goldfinger, The New Avengers) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Famed Science Fiction author Vonda N. McIntyre (credits too numerous to mention) has passed away.
*Actor John Quarmby (Fawlty Towers, 1984 version of A Christmas Carol) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.

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.
*As Trump prepares to visit the border, even his own party is trying to comprehend his position on immigration.
*The President has decided NOT to close the US-Mexican border, for now.
*Trump has also decided he doesn’t want Ron Vitiello as his potential new head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department.
*“Our country is FULL!” claims Trump.
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…
*A NEW Whistle Blower says White House security isn’t what it should be!
*Why did the Whistle Blower go back to work, and how was she treated??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

*President Trump hopes Herman Cain and Stephen Moore fill the vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board.
*The Affordable Health Care Act (aka Obama Care) MAY be safe, at least until after the 2020 Presidential election.
*Apparently Trump doesn’t like the Bushes either, nor is California a good place for him to campaign. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*FACT CHECK TIME!
*AND EVEN MORE FACTS!
THE MUELLER REPORT…
*Will the original, unedited, William Barr’s unsummarized version ever be released???
MEANWHILE…
*Senate Majority Leader and fellow Republican Mitch McConnell does not support the President’s idea of closing the US-Mexican border.
*What does the Republican Party even stand for any more???
*How does the GOP feel about those of the Jewish faith???
*Are Congressional Republicans trying to get Trump nominees approved quicker??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

ELSEWHERE…
*Meet Chicago’s new mayor!
