AMONGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*Although a Norwegian delegation hopes to get both sides talking again, the crisis in Venezuela continues. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Protests against Hong Kong’s proposed anti-extradition bill continues.
*France has outlawed electric pulse fishing.

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…

*Actor Peter Fonda (Easy Rider, Ulee’s Gold) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*With families being separated upon apprehension, President Trump declared the lack of a border wall a “national emergency”. There have since been legal and legislative battles initiated over this.
*Raid thoughts.
*What else might the children have to worry about???
* Not everyone agrees with Trump's actions, but what happens to THESE children???
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.

*Does Trump want to buy Greenland???
*A "PAID" audience???
*He might have been a supporter, but now…???
MEANWHILE…
*Congress is on vacation recess until after Labor Day 2019.
*There is one less contender for the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination.
ELSEWHERE…
*Problems in the Supreme Court???
*Will Alaska have a new governor???
*The man behind the Dayton, Ohio shooting spree KNEW his sister would be one of the victims! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Problems at the Veterans’ Affairs Administration???
*If she didn’t like the fund raiser, she could of just not donated.
*Why was he impersonating a police officer???
*Not a “quiet” meal.
