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…
*The victims of the Pakistan earthquake September 24.
*Songwriter Robert Hunter (The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan) has passed away.

*Actor Rob Garrison (Karate Kid 1, Cobra Kai, Iron Eagle) 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.
*The Senate has voted to END Trump's "national emergency"! Whether Trump will veto this one too remains to be seen.
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 (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
POLITICALLY, WITH MOST OF THIS COVERING THE TRUMP/UKRAINE SITUATION...
*A breach of ethics??? Trump wants Biden investigated instead while the Senate enters the picture. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)

*Trump’s envoy to the Ukraine has resigned over all of this.
*And the whistler blower isrevealed by The New York Times??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*“He did it?” NOW WHAT??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

*Will the National Rifle Association come to Trump’s defense???
*Trump and the foreign press.
