AMONGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*What might happen if the United States and Iran went to war???
*American President Trump has ordered 1500 troops to the Persian Gulf.
*Joko Widodo has won re-election as President of Indonesia.
*Theresa May has announced her retirement plans.
*The Merck Group is planning to buy Peloton Therapeutics, who just developed a possible kidney cancer treatment.
*Are you aware of the International System of Units’ redefining???

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…
*Author Judith Kerr (The Tiger Who Came To Tea, the Mog series) has passed away.
*Murray Gell-Mann, 1969 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, is no longer with us.

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.
*Wall construction has hit a snag!
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…
*What might happen if the United States and Iran went to war???
*President Trump has ordered 1500 troops to the Persian Gulf.

*Will Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson honor their subpoenas???
*Are we one step closer to seeing Trump’s tax records??? Maybe, on multiple fronts. (There are 4/FOUR separate links in this item.)
*Impeachment??? Maybe, but is there a cover up??? Trump doesn’t think so, and now he won’t discuss the country’s infrastructure until all the “phony” investigations are canceled. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

*Apparently they’re smarter at college than he thought.
MEANWHILE…
