AM😷NGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*Libya will soon need a new Prime Minister, while Japan has just elected one. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Is there life on Venus??? And why does Russia want to claim the planet??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*September 22 marks the 45th anniversary of the Viking Probe discovering Mars has a polar ice cap.
*September 25 marks the 330th anniversary of the Publick Occurrences newspaper📰 publishing its first and only edition!

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.

THE CLIMATE CHANGE CHRONICLES…🌐
*Even if a wildfire is not directly near you, the smoke is still an issue!
*Despite the West Coast Wildfires, Trump STILL denies climate change!
*Considering how many hurricanes there have already been this year, what do you do when you run out of names???

😢PASSING PARADE…
*All the innocent lives lost during the West Coast Wildfires.
*Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is no longer with us.
*Songwriter Al Kasha (♫There’s Got To Be A Morning After♫, ♫We May Never Love Like This Again♫, more) has passed away.
*Actress Sei Ashina (Silk, Kamui Gaiden-The Lone Ninja, more) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Author Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth series, other works) is no longer with us.
*Former professional football🏈 player Larry Wilson has passed away.

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”???
*The wall was originally estimated at $30 MILLION per mile, NOT counting maintenance, but could be breached with a cordless chainsaw! Have you heard anything on the subject lately???
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…🗹
*“Why are you using my song?”—John Fogerty to the Trump Campaign.
*Trump versus Biden on Climate Chang via the West Coast Wildfires. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
POST OFFICE DISPATCHES… (this item important enough to deserve its own listing)
*Just how bad are the postal problems??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
POLITICALLY…
SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE… (originally just George Floyd news)
😷THE US VERSUS COVID-19… (separated from the purely political news)
*The state of your state, from two different perspectives. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Opinion: does Trump even care??? Either way, he’s protected! (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
ELSEWHERE…
*Macy’s will try to hold a Thanksgiving Parade this year, BUT—
*September 22 is the 35th anniversary of the very first Farm Aid concert.
*September 25 marks the 100th anniversary of the Disabled American Veterans Organization.
