AM😷NGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…

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…🌐
*Snow itself isn't unusual, but in SEPTEMBER???
*It should come as no surprise that the California National Forests are closed due to wildfires.

😢PASSING PARADE…
*Composer William Pursell (“Our Winter Love”, more) has passed away.
*Professional baseball⚾ legend Lou Brock is no longer with us.
*Actor Rodney Litchfield (Testimony, Coronation Street, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Former professional football🏈 player Robert Wilson is no longer with us.
*Actor Kevin Dobson (Kojak, Knots Landing, 1976 version of Midway) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Screenwriter Sir Ronald Harwood (The Pianist, The Dresser, more) has passed away.
*Actress Dame Diana Rigg (TV’s The Avengers, James Bond’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, much more!) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Ronald Bell of Kool and the Gang is no longer with us.
*Wrestler/actor Stevie Lee has passed away.
*Reggae musician/pioneer Nathaniel ‘Toots’ Hibbert is no longer with us.

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 VERSUS BOB WOODWARD (this item important enough to deserve its own listing)
POLITICALLY…
*A Department of Homeland Security official says he was told to downplay any information concerning Russia’s possible interference with both the 2016 AND the 2020 Presidential elections!
*They shouldn’t of done it to begin with! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Republicans are having a tough time trying to defend Trump. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE… (originally just George Floyd news)
*But remember folks, even though he should NOT have been shot to the point of potentially being crippled for life, Jacob Blake is still an accused rapist.
😷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.)
*“Be careful during the fall and winter!”—Dr. Fauci about the pandemic.
*“Normal? Hopefully late 2021.”—Dr. Fauci’s estimate for the US.
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!
*IF the Oregon wildfires were intentionally set, at least accuse the right suspects!
*Joe Biden and Donald Trump campaigning in Michigan. (There are 2/TWO separate links in that item.)
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
ELSEWHERE…
*School versus the pandemic is one thing, but school versus ransom ware???
*September 1965 saw the debut of such great programs like Green Acres, Lost In Space; The Wild, Wild West; Get Smart, and Hogan’s Heroes.
*September 17 marks the 100th anniversary of the American Professional Football🏈 Association, which in time led to the formation of the National Football League.
😀AND FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS…
*Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are scheduled to show new episodes starting September 14, filmed under stricter pandemic guidelines.
