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

*The latest pandemic global numbers. Scroll down that screen to see everything.
*November 20 is the 400th anniversary of Peregrine White, the first child of the “New World”, born aboard the Mayflower before it landed at Plymouth Rock.

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 Typhoon Vamco.
*Legendary TV personality Alex Trebek (Jeopardy!, Concentration, more) has passed away.
*Noted journalist Gordon Joseloff (CBS) is no longer with us.
*Actor Bert Belasco (Let’s Stay Together, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.

*Former professional basketball🏀 player Terry Duerod has passed away.
*Former Ghana President Jerry Rawlings 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.
AFTER THE VOTES WERE COUNTED…
*As of November 10: a brief look at the undecided races. Even if Trump managed to win Alaska, Arizona (where Joe Biden is actually ahead), Georgia, AND North Carolina, that still wouldn't be enough Electoral College votes to be reelected.
*While it’s only worth 3 Electoral College Votes, Alaska still hadn’t finished counting their ballots as of November 11.
*As of November 14: NOW LET'S MAKE IT FINAL!
TRANSITION TIME…
*The “transition”, so far. As of November 12… (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
POLITICALLY…
*Is Trump hoping to stack the Pentagon in his favor before somehow invoking the War Powers Act to keep his former job longer???
*With “Judge” Barrett on the bench, how will the latest Supreme Court case on Obama Care go???
SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE…
*The gun brandishing Saint Louis Trump supporting couple that threatened Black Lives Matter protesters is suing the photographer who captured the moment!
😷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.)
*245,0000+ American deaths and still rising!😢
*Even though Trump is still pouting over losing reelection, we must continue the battle against COVID-19 NOW!
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!✅
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
*Georgia’s Senators don’t think they’ll get a fair run-off election in January 2021. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Can outgoing, sore loser Trump affect the Georgia run-offs??? They supported him, but he won’t support them. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*The future Senate balance at the moment is 50 Republican, 46 Democrat and 2 Independent, with January's run off results deciding the final ratios.
ELSEWHERE…
