THE TERRORIST REPORT…

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. But what about the health/safety of all the “detainees”???
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.
THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION…🗹
*Trump apparently can't accept that the Democrats got better TV ratings for their convention. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Various Federal (Trump controlled) agencies and officials are denying Russian attempts to interfere with the 2020 election this fall, and don’t want to discuss the subject anymore! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Trump and the Republican Party are now suing Montana in an attempt to stop mail-in balloting there.
