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

*Having already gone through TWO lists of names, what to do now considering the Atlantic Hurricane season lasts until November 30! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*WHAT IS IT???
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 innocent lives lost during Hurricane Zeta.
*Robert Murray, the coal tycoon who hated its safety protocols, has passed away.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES 🌎F 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”???
*Will the United Nations’ Commission for Human Rights investigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and their private contractors???
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.
*Is the Trump campaign not following health/safety protocols??? Despite warnings and news coverage, several of Mike Pence’s aides have tested positive for the virus and the Vice President is still on the campaign trail. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*NOT the way to treat potential voters! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Opinion: Could Trump lose Wisconsin???
*Opinion: Trump’s second term???
POST OFFICE DISPATCHES… (this item important enough to deserve its own listing)
POLITICALLY…

*Opinion: Nice work if you can get it.
*Opinion: Are some Republicans turning against each other???
SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE… (originally just George Floyd news)
*WHY???😧
*Had they already surrendered??? Let alone, did the police let him die??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Maybe Jared Kushner needs to rethink his opinions. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!✅

REPLACING RUTH (the battle for Ginsburg’s Supreme Court position)
*It should come as no surprise Republicans “officially” confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as the new Supreme Court “Justice” October 26, and sworn in at a potential White House super spreader event later that night. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*Congress has gone into recess until after the 2020 Presidential Election WITHOUT another COVID-19 relief bill, among other things.
