"...WILL ONE DAY LIVE IN A NATION WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, BUT BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER."
—Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS OVERNIGHT BETWEEN OCTOBER 31 & NOVEMBER 1.
NOVEMBER 2 IS THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF
KDKA, THE FIRST AMERICAN RADIO📻 STATION.
NOVEMBER 3 IS ELECTION DAY IN THE UNITED STATES!

AM😷NGST EVENTS AROUND THE W🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*Europe, Asia, South Africa, and other parts of the world... Wish we had some good news on the pandemic front. (There are 4/FOUR separate links in this item.)
*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.)
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.
*Actor Johnny Leeze (Emmerdale, Coronation Street, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Musician/songwriter Stan Kesler (“I Forgot to Remember to Forget”, more) is no longer with us.
*Songwriter Billy Joe Shaver (“Honky Tonk Heroes”, “Georgia on a Fast Train”, more) has passed away.
*Stage magician and skeptic James Randi is no longer with us.
*Leanza Cornett, 1993’s Miss America, has passed away.
*Actor Bobby Ball (Last of the Summer Wine, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Charity fund raiser Travis Roy is no longer with us.
*Actor Sir Sean Connery (James Bond franchise, Darby O’Gill, and so much more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Former professional football🏈 player Herb Adderly 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.
THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION…🗹
*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.)
POST OFFICE DISPATCHES… (this item important enough to deserve its own listing)
POLITICALLY…
*Borat 2 versus Republicans. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*2018’s Anonymous is…. Someone Trump still wants jailed and prosecuted. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
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.)
😷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.)
*NINE MILLION!😨😨😨
*Trump’s declared the pandemic over. AS IF! Several states can sadly say otherwise. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!
*Despite the opinions of the White House, the pandemic is FAR from over!
REPLACING RUTH (the battle for Ginsburg’s Supreme Court position)
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
*Congress has gone into recess until after the 2020 Presidential Election WITHOUT another COVID-19 relief bill, among other things.
ELSEWHERE…
*Madison Square Garden hosted the first car show ever held in America on November 3, 1900!
*KDKA of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania went on the air November 2, 1920 as America’s first radio station.
😀AND FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS…
