AM๐Ÿ˜ทNGST EVENTS AROUND THE W๐ŸŒRLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. Wish we had better news to report folks. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*G’Day Mate!๐Ÿจ
*Sadly, December 8 marks the 40th anniversary of losing John Lennon.

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…๐ŸŒ
*New Zealand has declared a Climate Change Emergency and promises to be Carbon Neutral by 2025.

๐Ÿ˜ขPASSING PARADE…
*Former Pakistan Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali is no longer with us.
*Actor David Prowse (the Star Wars franchise, A Clockwork Orange) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Actress Betty Bobbitt (the Crocodile Dundee franchise, Prisoner in Cell Block H, more) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Noted science fiction author Ben Bova (credits too numerous to mention) has passed away.
*Actor Hugh Keays-Byrne (the Mad Max franchise, Farscape, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.
*Olympic athlete turned actor Rafer Johnson (None But The Brave, James Bonds’ License To Kill, more) has taken his last bow on life’s stage.

*Author Alison Lurie (War Between the Tates, Love and Friendship, more) 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 (RE)COUNTED…๐Ÿ—น๐Ÿ—น๐Ÿ—น
*Even though he’s wrong, Trump’s effect on future elections is…???
*Despite repeated failures, Trump is still trying to get Wisconsin and Georgia election results overturned. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
TRANSITION TIME…
*It should come as no surprise that Trump won’t attend the Biden inauguration, or invite him to the White House before next January.
POLITICALLY…
*Trump versus the state of Georgia. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*While even Attorney General William Barr can’t support the accusations, Trump wants Georgia to call off their January run off elections that will determine the Senate’s composition under Biden because “They won’t be needed.” (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
*Opinion: The Trump plan???
SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE…
๐Ÿ˜ทTHE US VERSUS COVID-19… (separated from the purely political news)
*The state of your state, from two different sources. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
IT’S FACT CHECK TIME!
*Trump’s continuing bogus election claims of November 29 and December 2. (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Former President Barack Obama DID have a plan to fight any potential pandemic. "President" Trump got rid of it.๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
*Is Mitch McConnell considering another (limited) stimulus package??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
ELSEWHERE…

*Trouble in Arizona??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*Shades of 2001: A Space Odyssey. What happened to the monolith???
