America hangs in the balance on tomorrow’s vote

The future of America rides on the decision you are going to make tomorrow. No pressure. This is not an election as normal where if one party wins, everyone is still rowing in the same direction just with a different flavor.

This is far different. This isn’t the Democrat party of John F. Kennedy. Foreign powers have conquered the Democrat party and will forever dismantle America as we know it if Biden/ Harris are elected. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett will not matter as they have stated that they will pack the Supreme Court to their advantage and will have the power to eliminate the Bill of Rights and force upon us a new government where We the People do not stand a chance.

Not too many years ago I wondered what the soft spoiled American population would do if we ever had to protect our freedoms. I believed that we as an American society would be too lazy to fend off those who want to alienate us from our Godgiven rights. But I never thought that it would happen so quickly—not in my lifetime. But here we are at the precipice of losing (Continued on page 2)

EDITOR’S NOTE—This column is reserved as an editorial column and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

The United States will tread in vastly different directions depending on the outcome of tomorrow’s presidential election. Gone are the days of two candidates having a slight dissimilar paths for the same American goals. President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden see two vastly different roads for American citizens. President Trump was stated that he wants to continue the low tax amount on middle-income families while Biden says that he will increase taxes on those households that make more than $400,000.

Biden says under his administration, the U.S. will ‘collaborate’ with Communist China on public health and climate change.

In an op-ed for the North American-published Chinese newspaper World Journal, Biden said the COVID-19 pandemic is “proof that the United States can’t isolate itself from the world.”

China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, annually putting out nearly double that of the next-largest emitter, the U.S. In a JustTheNews.com article, Robert Cahaly, one of the few pollsters who correctly had Donald Trump ahead in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan the day before Election Day in 2016, said on the Fox News show “Hannity” Friday night that Trump is going to have to win Penn-

stand the so-called "shy Trump voters."

Cahaly, the chief pollster with the Georgia-based Trafalgar Group, is predicting a Trump victory against Democratic candidate Joe Biden. He says the other pollsters don't under-

"These [voters] aren't straightforward when it comes to these polls," Cahaly told host Sean Hannity. “I think he's going to need to win Pennsylvania by four or five to overcome the voter fraud that's going to happen there."

Former Howe Police Chief dies John Vinson Cherry made his way home to his Heavenly Savior on October 26, 2020. John was born on January 26, 1956, at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C. to US Air Force Sgt. Joel Lee Cherry and Martha Ann Vincent. He was raised growing up as a traveling military family spending his childhood in El Paso, Texas, and Springfield, Missouri later graduating a proud Viking from Parkview High School in 1974. Soon after, in 1979, Mr. Cherry moved his family to the Texoma area.

He worked as a sheet metal fabricator and then as a

security officer at L.O.F. and Midway Mall. It was during that time that he John Cherry found his passion for serving and protecting his community.

Mr. Cherry graduated from the Texoma Regional Police Academy in October 1988. He began his law enforcement career serving the cities of Sherman, Pottsboro, and Denison before finding his home at the Howe Police Depart(Continued on page 7)

Editorial (Continued from page 1)

all that once made us the greatest nation in the history of mankind.

President Donald J. Trump is not only squaring off against Joe Biden tomorrow on the ballot, but he’s virtually also facing CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, the New York Times, Washington Post, and several other mainstream outlets. Shows like 60 Minutes have become completely predictable with each show featuring segments on all Democrat talking points. One on climate change, one on immigration, one on gun reform, and one on race.

The Sunday morning news shows are all Never-Trump showcases.

On the ballot tomorrow will be Trump vs. Biden, Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, George Stephanopoulos, Martha Raddatz, and countless others.

On the ballot is the first and second amendments of the United States Constitution If that seems outlandish, take a look at all of the free speech that is being eliminated by YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, BitChute, and others.

Massive amounts of truths are either being hidden or go non reported by big media or big tech.

If the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket wins, we become guided by socialism and or authoritarianism.

The kind of censorship that we are living through right now will become the norm—just as in communist China.

In the early stages of a Biden/ Harris administration, one could expect to see a major tax placed upon firearms and or ammunition.

To control the public, you must first disarm them and then you can control other items such as food supply, and other living necessities.

Upon control of the American society, more forceable global issues can be initiated through the United Nations’ Agenda 30 which is a plan of sustainable development. The plan has a lot of fluffsounding goals that appeal highly to the flower children, but underneath the fluff is a plan to dominate all aspects of human life all the while the elite members of framework development enrich themselves through slavery of the mass public through mass taxation—all in the name of climate change and ridding the world of poverty. Anyone who touts the Agenda 30 topic as factual is often scoffed at and ridiculed for sounding crazy, and or a conspiracy theorist, but crazy it most certainly is—especially to the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Americans generally want peace, freedom, and opportunity. Those are the foundation blocks of why our ancestors flocked other op-

pressive countries and made a mad dash for lands unknown.

They grew weary of being heavily taxed and needed somewhere to flee. However, as Ronald Reagan once said, “If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”

We are merely a possible day away from losing our freedoms and most people are too busy watching Netflix to realize it.

However, on the other hand, a lot of Americans have awakened from their dark sleep from the Mockingbird media. Four years ago, most people assumed the media was upstanding and that it was as advertised, however, that has clearly been shown to not be the case. If it weren’t for President Trump, we’d still be under the spell of the Washington/U.N. swamp.

Each candidate has said this election is the most important election in history. The stakes are high. I would imagine each party knew this long before 2020 began. So, let’s look at 2020 and what kind of jammed up year it’s been. It’s almost as if this year is the most important year in our history.

Right out of the gate, the world saw a global pandemic rooted from China just moments after the ink was barely dry on a renegotiated trade deal with the communist world power. It was global leaders of the World Health Organization (WHO) and their financial billionaire supporters that shut down our economy. The biggest contributors to the WHO are Bill and Melinda Gates who stand to make a fortune off of vaccines from COVID-19. By chance, it was Gates who predicted such a pandemic and even held a “what-if” coronavirus outbreak exercise just months before the, you guessed it, coronavirus outbreak ignited in Wuhan, China.

The COVID-19 pandemic allowed for complete control over the population by means of shutting down businesses, churches, and anything else deemed, “too risky” and endangered their “we’re all in this together” narrative.

The China Virus was released to get the narrative off Barack Obama's spy crimes, protect Joe Biden from Ukraine and sexual assault scandals while setting up President Trump with blame for economy and COVID deaths and to push mail -in-balloting in order to create election uncertainty and chaos.

If you don’t understand this—turn off Netflix for a moment while you can still afford your payment.

Most of the mockingbird media outlets eventually get the truth in each article they write, but typically because most people are headline readers and not thorough readers, they place the truth never (Continued on page 11)

Bonham sinks Howe in final six seconds, 31-29

The Howe Bulldogs (0-9, 0-6) came into Friday night’s game at Bonham feeling like they finally had a chance to get in the win column. The Purple Warriors (2-7, 1 -5) are the only team on the schedule with similar skillsets.

Howe took a 14-8 lead in the second quarter and did not relinquish that lead for 24:33, but one more second would have secured the win as Bonham’s Nick Rhinehart booted a 29-yard field goal to break the hearts of the Dogs players which resulted in a teary-eyed post game speech from their head coach Bill Jehling.

Bonham’s game-winning field goal was the result of a successful onside attempt kicked by Rhinehart that bounced through the hands of an up-man and landed in the lap of Bonham’s Brant Stuber with 1:19 left in the game. Seven plays and 1:13 later, Rhinehart the kicker and Stuber the holder did the damage to end hopes for Howe.

It was an emotional game for Ethan Lopez who learned that his grandmother passed earlier in the day. Lopez chose to stay on the field with his teammates and he scored on a 7-yard trap play and pointed to the sky as Howe extended their lead to 21-14 with 8:34 left in the third quarter.

Sophomore fullback Bryce Crosby scored two touchdowns for Howe. His first was a 1-yarder

late in the first half and second was a game-tying 2-yard score where Howe took their first lead of the night after Kevin Flores’ PAT with : left in the second quarter.

Each team opened the game with punts on offense before Bonham’s Rhinehart missed 44-yard field goal with 4:57 left in the first. Howe put together a nice drive of 11-plays but turned it over on downs.

The first points of the game came on a 1-yard run by Stuber on the first play of the second quarter.

Bonham quarterback Mason Rodriguez ran in the 2-point conversion to give the Warriors an 8-0 lead with 11:56 left in the second.

Howe took advantage of a Rhinehart fumble near midfield and turned it into points with a 1-yard score by Crosby. Howe quarterback Austin Haley ran in the 2point conversion to tie the game, 8-8 with 3:46 left in the second.

But the ensuing kickoff by Howe was returned by Rhinehart from the Bonham 72 yards to the Bulldog 10 yard line. Rodriguez scored two plays later on a 6-yard run to regain the lead for the Warriors, 14-8 after an unsuccessful 2 -point attempt.

With 2:53 left before the half, Howe went to the passing game where Haley picked apart the (Continued on page 12)

Lane Griffin of Howe wins national FFA award Howe High School 2020 graduate Lane Griffin recently won first place for the National FFA Diversified Ag Production Proficiency Award. The son of Kenneth and Debby Griffin of Howe, Lane Griffin is attending Oklahoma State University through online classes but plans to attend in person next year. He says that he anticipates getting back to the farm quickly upon finishing his studies and continue to implement his technology capabilities that have helped on the farm and helped him win this award.

Griffin qualified for nationals a year ago and traveled to Indianapolis for a different proficiency award, but this year competed virtually due to COVID and took home the grand prize which was announced Tuesday evening during a Zoom meeting webcast The award competition begins at the local level and Griffin advanced up to the state level and eventually the national level. He says he was born to farm and has been in the FFA program since he began showing pigs in fourth grade and heifers in middle school. He began FFA competitions during his sophomore year During this competition, he was

Lane Griffin

asked questions by Ag Teacher Tracy Blum in which he answered in-depth on video which was submitted to the judges.

“I’ve been around this stuff since I was little, I’ve never changed my mind once that I wanted to be a farmer when I grew up,” said Griffin who started running farm equipment on his own at the age of eight. “We drove down to Prosper, to 121, all the way up to Windom and Celeste during harvest. I’ve just been around it a whole lot, so I knew how to respond to the questions.

One of the questions asked was, “What have you done to increase efficiency on the farm?” Griffin said that he has utilized drones to scout fields and pick out areas where they need to add fertilizer or correct soil issues (Continued on page 5)

Griffin (Continued from page 4)

“Especially over the last few years, we’ve used it with all the rain since 2015 where we have not been able to get a full crop in. We’ve used it to pinpoint spots to replant, which has helped our yields all the way across.

The drones and thermals also help in the fight against the damage to crops by hogs. Griffin says the hogs can take out multiple thousands of dollars of damage overnight with hogs eating rows of seeds and bedding down in crops.

Griffin’s experience with infrared thermals also helped him with some of the questions leading to the award.

“I’ve been using thermals since seventh or eighth grade so I know a decent bit about them,” said Griffin who says you have to take technology to the farm in order to take every advantage possible in these tough economic times.

Some pieces of technology have been useful, some not so much.

Low grain prices have created a need for high volume acreage that is necessary for sustainment as inputs continue to rise.

In discussing the future of farming, Griffin says the equipment has reached the maximum sizes with the ability to still maneuver roadways. He believes that newer machines will be geared for higher speeds such as planters that used to run five to six miles per hour can now run 10-12 miles per hour “There’s a lot of talk about autonomous tractors. I’m sure it’ll work but it’s pretty far-fetched in our area with odd shaped fields” said Griffin who is very open to the idea of drones that could be used for spraying crops. “When you have to spray the field with spray rigs, you’re running over crop and compacting soil. You’d have a lot less of this by using drones.

“Lane is one of hardest working young men I’ve ever known and

I’m proud that he has decided to continue pursuing a life in production agriculture,” said Tracy Blum. “The average age of the American farmer is 58, so knowing that there are young people like Lane who are still willing to feed the world gives me hope that American Agriculture will stay strong.

The knowledge and understanding, as well as the love and appreciation Lane has for crop production is unmatched by any student I’ve ever had in my 28 years of teaching.

Ronald and I are extremely proud of Lane and his FFA successes.

He was a National Finalist last year, which is a great achievement in itself; but to be one of only 45 FFA members nationwide to be named a National Proficiency Winner is a tremendous accomplishment.”

The Howe FFA program is led by instructors Ron and Tracy Blum and their efforts have produced outstanding FFA students in which Griffin is a prime example.

Frankie Cavender, 1927-2020 Howe- Frankie Miriam Cole was born the youngest of 5 children to Frank and May Cole on August 15th, 1927 in Dallas, TX. She moved with her parents to Van Alstyne, TX for her freshman year of high school in 1940. While in high school she was a Majorette and participated in the Choral Club. She loved to sing and dance and was always ready to have fun.

George Cavender moved to Van Alstyne in 1942 during his junior year. Frankie introduced herself to George during study hall and they dated their junior and senior year and both attended the Methodist Church in Van Alstyne. Frankie’s parents owned Cole Chicken Hatchery there and she lived with them in an apartment above it. Because George didn’t own a car, the two of them would sit in her parents’ 1937 Chevrolet Coupe outside the hatchery until her dad would call her up.

After graduation, George went into the Merchant Marines. He and Frankie corresponded and George asked her to marry him while he was in on leave. George was stationed in New Orleans for a time, and he purchased an engagement ring there and had it mailed to Frankie to confirm his intentions.

Once WWII was over and George came home, the two were married at the Methodist parsonage by Pastor W. L. Vail on October 27, 1945. After the wedding, they started their home at the house

George and Frankie moved their membership to the Methodist Church of Howe in 1949, where she served for many years overseeing the children’s department and children’s choir and singing in the adult choir. The church has remained a large part of their lives and the friendships made there have enriched their lives.

Frankie worked at Pevetos Furniture and Texas Instruments before devoting all of her efforts to raising their four children, Karon, Lynn, Chris and Kay. Frankie ran their household and participated in the children’s education by taking them to music lessons, cub scouts, sports, 4-H and FFA events, and church.

A Warning For President Trump-Open Letter From Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano Mister President, Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America. I am writing to you in the midst of the silence of both civil and religious authorities. May you accept these words of mine as the “voice of one crying out in the desert” (Jn 1:23).

As I said when I wrote my letter to you in June, this historical moment sees the forces of Evil aligned in a battle without quarter against the forces of Good; forces of Evil that appear powerful and organized as they oppose the children of Light, who are disoriented and disorganized, abandoned by their temporal and spiritual leaders.

Daily we sense the attacks multiplying of those who want to destroy the very basis of society: the natural family, respect for human life, love of country, freedom of education and business. We see heads of nations and religious leaders pandering to this suicide of Western culture and its Christian soul, while the fundamental rights of citizens and believers are denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman faceless tyranny.

A global plan called the Great Reset is underway. Its architect is a global élite that wants to subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drastically limit individual freedoms and those of entire populations. In several nations this plan has already been approved and financed; in others it is still in an early stage.

Behind the world leaders who are the accomplices and executors of this infernal project, there are unscrupulous characters who finance the World Economic Forum and Event 201, promoting their agenda.

The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21 promoted by Bill Gates with the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompa-

nied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world.

Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.

Mr. President, I imagine that you are already aware that in some countries the Great Reset will be activated between the end of this year and the first trimester of 2021. For this purpose, further lockdowns are planned, which will be officially justified by a supposed second and third wave of the pandemic. You are well aware of the means that have been deployed to sow panic and legitimize draconian limitations on individual liberties, artfully provoking a worldwide economic crisis. In the intentions of its architects, this crisis will serve to make the recourse of nations to the Great Reset irreversible, thereby giving the final blow to a world whose existence and very memory they want to completely cancel. But this world, Mr. President, includes people, affections, institutions, faith, culture, traditions, and ideals: people and values that do not act like automatons, who do not obey like machines, because they are endowed with a soul and a heart, because they are tied together by a spiritual bond that draws its strength from above, from that God that our adversaries want to challenge, just as Lucifer did at the beginning of time with his “non serviam.”

Many people – as we well know – are annoyed by this reference to the clash between Good and Evil and the use of “apocalyptic” overtones, which according to them exasperates spirits and sharpens divisions. It is not surprising that the enemy is angered at being discovered just when he believes he has reached the citadel he seeks to conquer undisturbed. What is surprising, however, is that there is no one to sound the alarm. The reaction of the deep state to those who denounce its plan is broken and incoherent, but understandable.

Just when the complicity of the mainstream media had succeeded in making the transition to the New World Order almost painless and unnoticed, all sorts of deceptions, scandals and crimes are coming to light.

Until a few months ago, it was easy to smear as “conspiracy theorists” those who denounced these terrible plans, which we now see being carried out down to the smallest detail. No one, up until last February, would ever have thought that, in all of our cities, citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street, to breathe, to want to keep their business open, to want to go to church on Sunday. Yet now it is happening all over the world, even

in picture-postcard Italy that many Americans consider to be a small enchanted country, with its ancient monuments, its churches, its charming cities, its characteristic villages. And while the politicians are barricaded inside their palaces promulgating decrees like Persian satraps, businesses are failing, shops are closing, and people are prevented from living, traveling, working, and praying. The disastrous psychological consequences of this operation are already being seen, beginning with the suicides of desperate entrepreneurs and of our children, segregated from friends and classmates, told to follow their classes while sitting at home alone in front of a computer.

In Sacred Scripture, Saint Paul speaks to us of “the one who opposes” the manifestation of the mystery of iniquity, the kathèkon (2 Thess 2:6-7). In the religious sphere, this obstacle to evil is the Church, and in particular the papacy; in the political sphere, it is those who impede the establishment of the New World Order.

As is now clear, the one who occupies the Chair of Peter has betrayed his role from the very beginning in order to defend and promote the globalist ideology, supporting the agenda of the deep church, who chose him from its ranks.

Mr. President, you have clearly stated that you want to defend the nation – One Nation under God, fundamental liberties, and nonnegotiable values that are denied and fought against today. It is you, dear President, who are “the one who opposes” the deep state, the final assault of the children of darkness.

For this reason, it is necessary that all people of goodwill be persuaded of the epochal importance of the imminent election: not so much for the sake of this or that political program, but because of the general inspiration of your action that best embodies – in this particular historical context – that world, our world, which they want to cancel by means of the lockdown. Your adversary is also our adversary: it is the Enemy of the human race, He who is “a murderer from the beginning” (Jn 8:44).

Around you are gathered with faith and courage those who consider you the final garrison against the world dictatorship. The alternative is to vote for a person who is manipulated by the deep state, gravely compromised by scandals and corruption, who will do to the United States what Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doing to the Church, Prime Minister Conte to Italy, President Macron to France, Prime Minster Sanchez to Spain, and so on. The blackmailable nature of Joe Biden – just like that of the prelates of the Vatican’s “magic

circle” – will expose him to be used unscrupulously, allowing illegitimate powers to interfere in both domestic politics as well as international balances. It is obvious that those who manipulate him already have someone worse than him ready, with whom they will replace him as soon as the opportunity arises.

And yet, in the midst of this bleak picture, this apparently unstoppable advance of the “Invisible Enemy,” an element of hope emerges.

The adversary does not know how to love, and it does not understand that it is not enough to assure a universal income or to cancel mortgages in order to subjugate the masses and convince them to be branded like cattle. This people, which for too long has endured the abuses of a hateful and tyrannical power, is rediscovering that it has a soul; it is understanding that it is not willing to exchange its freedom for the homogenization and cancellation of its identity; it is beginning to understand the value of familial and social ties, of the bonds of faith and culture that unite honest people. This Great Reset is destined to fail because those who planned it do not understand that there are still people ready to take to the streets to defend their rights, to protect their loved ones, to give a future to their children and grandchildren. The leveling inhumanity of the globalist project will shatter miserably in the face of the firm and courageous opposition of the children of Light. The enemy has Satan on its side, He who only knows how to hate. But on our side, we have the Lord Almighty, the God of armies arrayed for battle, and the Most Holy Virgin, who will crush the head of the ancient Serpent. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom 8:31).

Mr. President, you are well aware that, in this crucial hour, the United States of America is considered the defending wall against which the war declared by the advocates of globalism has been unleashed.

Place your trust in the Lord, strengthened by the words of the Apostle Paul: “I can do all things in Him who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13). To be an instrument of Divine Providence is a great responsibility, for which you will certainly receive all the graces of state that you need, since they are being fervently implored for you by the many people who support you with their prayers.

With this heavenly hope and the assurance of my prayer for you, for the First Lady, and for your collaborators, with all my heart I send you my blessing.

God bless the United States of America! + Carlo Maria Viganò Tit. Archbishop of Ulpiana Former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America

Editorial (Continued from page 2)

before the eighth paragraph. So, as a tip of the cap to the New York Times, I waited a little to get to the Biden crime family and even placed a couple of paragraphs ahead of it just for good measure.

Joe Biden has a moral defect.

Rudy Giuliani says he’s an outright stone-cold criminal in the disguise of a presidential candidate.

The following conclusion is from the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs entitled, Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns: The records acquired by the Committees show that Hunter Biden and his family were involved in a vast financial network that connected them to foreign nationals and foreign governments across the globe. Hunter Biden and Archer, in particular, formed significant and consistent financial relationships with the corrupt oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky during their time working for Burisma and their firms made millions of dollars from that association while Joe Biden was vice president and the public face of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy. Rosemont Seneca Thornton, an investment firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, received $3.5 million in a wire transfer from Elena Baturina, who allegedly received illegal construction contracts from her husband, the former mayor of Moscow. Moreover, Archer’s apparent receipt of money for a car from Kenges Rakishev of Kazakhstan while Vice President Biden was in Kyiv is especially concerning in light of the timing. And finally, Biden and Archer’s work with Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime illustrate the deep financial connections that accelerated while his father was vice president and continued after he left office.

Biden and Archer found willing partners in Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime. Their work in China began at least in 2009, with the creation of Rosemont Seneca Partners with Heinz, Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson. Then, several years later, Biden and Archer formed BHR with Bohai Capital and received their business license approval in China shortly after Biden visited China with his father, Vice President Biden.

Hunter Biden’s connections and financial associations appear to have accelerated significantly after he associated himself with Ye Jianming, who had deep connections with the Communist regime and PLA. However, that didn’t seem to have any impact on Hunter Biden, who made millions from the relationship. Indeed,

Hunter Biden and his family, to include James and Sara Biden, associated with other Chinese nationals such as Gongwen Dong. In one case, the three of them went on a $100,000 global spending spree after Gongwen Dong and Hunter Biden opened a joint account. In addition, Hunter Biden received millions of dollars over a period of years from Gongwen Dong’s companies. According to records acquired by the Committees, many of these transactions involved potential criminal financial activity.

The records acquired by the Committees show consistent, significant and extensive financial connections among and between Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sara Biden, Devon Archer, and Chinese nationals connected to the Communist regime and PLA as well as other foreign nationals with questionable backgrounds.

These connections and the vast amount of money transferred among and between them don’t just raise conflicts of interest concerns, they raise criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns. The Committees will continue to evaluate the evidence in their possession.

This election is not merely blue versus red. We the People have been purposely divided because united we stand, divided we fall.

Yes, we are all in this together as the Marxist revolutionaries say, but also, where we go one, we go all—as the Patriot revolutionaries say.

We’ve read the final chapter. We know the ending, but we know not the time. Due to this, we all want our children to continue to be able to enjoy the liberties that God has granted us.

“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” - Patrick Henry, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23, 1775.

Bulldogs

Ethan Lopez (4) and Austin Haley (8) celebrate a touchdown in the first half of Friday’s game at Bonham. Photo by Michelle Carney.

(Continued from page 3)

Warrior defense with two strikes to Ryan Hough and Ethan Lopez and a 13-yard pass to Jordan Jones which set up Crosby’s second score of the night to give Howe the lead at 15-14 in which they took to the half.

Howe virtually ditched the passing game from that point on and were unable to move the ball on the first drive. But linebacker Jackson Adkins recovered a Stuber fumble which gave the Bulldogs great field position at the Warrior 26 yard line. Jones took it the seven yard line which set up the Lopez score with 8:34 in the third that extended Howe’s lead to 21-14.

Howe then forced a turnover on downs when Bonham attempted a 4th and 16 pass that was incomplete. From there Howe was forced to punt, but the snap went over the head of Flores who picked it up and kicked it leftfooted that a Bonham player touched which made it a live ball.

Hough picked it up and ran it the Bonham 31 yard line. Howe, facing a 4th-and-9 went back to the air where Haley hit Jones streaking down the sidelines for a 19yard score which extended Howe’s lead to 29-14 with 1:00 left in the third quarter and all looked like Howe had full momentum and full control.

However, Bonham answered Howe’s 11-play drive with a 13play drive of their own that covered 55 yards. Rodriguez hit Cade Bowser in the endzone for a 17-yard touchdown to narrow the gap to 29-22 with 8:33 left in the game.

This is where Howe went into full conservative clock-burning mode and were successful at burning 4:08 off the clock, but when facing a 4th-and-6 at the Bonham 34, could not convert on an inside handoff to Matt Hayes. That gave Bonham the ball at their own 29 yard line where they used the read-option of Rodriguez and Stuber to set up a 5-yard touchdown by Stuber to make it 29-28.

Bonham chose to go for the win with a 2-point conversion, but a Rodriguez pass in the endzone

was swatted away by linebacker Kolby Taylor. Howe retained the 29-28 lead with 1:22 on the clock.

The only thing sitting between Howe and their first win was an onside kick. With Stuber recovering it, Bonham had the ball at their own 49 yard line. It took them seven plays to get to the Howe 12 yard line where Rhinehart set up the 29-yard field goal.

Howe called two consecutive timeouts to try and ice the kicker, but the 3-year starter had ice through his veins and booted the game-winner through the uprights which would have cleared from 40. The kick left only one second on the clock and Howe’s Kaleb McNutt fielded the kickoff and was talked immediately to end the game and begin the cries from the Bulldog players.

Haley was 11-of-14 passing with 102 yards and one touchdown.

Jones led Howe in rushing with 112 yards on 21 carries. He also added five catches for 57 yards.

Luke Jackson led Howe with 13 tackles on the night.

For Bonham, Rodriguez was 11of-26 passing for 94 yards and one touchdown while rushing 18 times for 171 yards and a touchdown. Stuber added 99 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.

Howe will host Mt. Vernon (7-2, 4-2) Friday night for Senior Night. They are led by former Baylor Bears Head Coach Art Briles. Game time is 7:30 pm.

Senior introductions will take place prior to the game.

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boilwater notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient. Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

Texas History Minute Thomas Campbell Clark played an important role in shaping many of the civil liberties Americans enjoy today during his career. As Ken Bridges part of a long and distinguished legal career, Clark became the first – and to date, only – Texan to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

Clark was born in Dallas in 1899.

As a young man, he received a degree from the University of Texas in 1921 and completed law school the next year. He quickly returned to Dallas, eager to begin his law career.

He worked for the next few years in private practice in Dallas. In 1924, he married Mary Ramsey, the daughter of a former state supreme court justice, and eventually had three children with her. With a growing family to support, Clark joined the district attorney’s office in 1927. He left after a few years to return to private practice, but in 1937, he received a great opportunity when he became a special assistant to U. S. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings.

At the attorney general’s office, his career advanced quickly. In 1938, he was assigned to the antitrust division, combating monopolies. After World War II began, Clark investigated cases of espionage and subversion against the United States. By 1943, he was serving as assistant attorney general in the War Fraud division.

Through this work, he several defense contractors indicted who sold shoddy equipment to the military or outright stole money from the government during the war.

Shortly after Harry S. Truman became president upon the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945, he appointed Clark as the new attorney general, having been impressed by Clark’s work against contractor fraud.

When Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy died in 1949, President Truman appointed Clark to fill the position. As a member of the Supreme Court, Clark helped usher in drastic changes in civil rights laws across the nation. In 1950, in Sweatt v. Painter, he ruled with the court’s majority that the University of Texas must admit AfricanAmerican applicants. With Terry v.

Adams in 1953, he helped strike down the “white primary,” which allowed state political parties to exclude minorities from their primary elections. In 1954, he was part of the High Court’s unanimous ruling in the Brown v. Board of Education case that ruled racial segregation in all schools to be unconstitutional.

Clark was also part of the majority decision in Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963, which declared that states had to provide attorneys for anyone accused of a crime. This decision led to hundreds of wrongfully convicted inmates being freed. He was also part of the unanimous New York Times v. Sullivan decision in 1964 to protect newspapers and free speech by redefining libel as a statement that is both knowingly false and meant to defame another person’s reputation.

Tom Clark retired from the Supreme Court in 1967 and was replaced by Thurgood Marshall.

Shortly after his retirement, his son, Ramsey Clark, was appointed attorney general by President Lyndon Johnson.

He remained very active in his retirement. He became director of the Federal Judicial Center, a program designed to help courts with research and training for judges, shortly after its founding. He stepped down from the center in 1970 and continued to serve as a visiting judge for the US Court of Appeals, acting as a temporary judge for special cases. He died quietly in New York City in 1977.

Years later, Clark High School in San Antonio, was named for him as well as the Tom C. Clark State Office Building in Austin.

Who does God want to be President?

This year has passed by quickly, and now the election is just a few days away. For those who read this column, I’m sure Dr. Billy you have noHolland ticed that I rarely talk about politics or social issues. Of course, I have my thoughts like everyone else, but to be honest I avoid these controversial areas intentionally. My focus is more about the Lord and the Christian life. Nonetheless, I believe we can agree that America needs leaders who are honest and who demonstrate the nature and character of God. We also realize the Almighty has given us a free will to have elections even if the winners are not His choice. I’m sincerely grateful to live in a country that allows anyone to believe and express whatever they want, but it’s important to remember that for the most part, what we hear and read are only someone else’s ideas and perceptions.

Amid so many voices, it’s obvious that no human is wise enough to untangle the mess our world is in. With so much chaos and conflict, who could even understand it? The arguments give me a headache and the resentment and hostility are beyond anything I have ever seen. Many are convinced they know what is right and wrong about everything, but what are they basing their views on? Much of what we believe comes from what we have been told and one of the dangers of developing an opinion is not being sure if what we have heard is true. If our information is incorrect, our views are in error. For example, the popular term “uninformed voters” is a reality and sadly we are all in the same boat when it comes to only having bits and pieces of the big picture. Only God can help us discern who is telling the truth and who is being deceptive. Spiritual rebellion opposes divine wisdom and human arrogance has created a world of distorted interpretations. Psalm 118:8 cuts through the chase and gives us this blunt piece of advice, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.”

With a dysfunctional political system, the dishonestly of many leaders, and voters filled with contempt, we have a slim chance for peace. As long as there are opinions there will always be strife and conflicts as even the early followers of Jesus argued over who He was and why He had come. Today we see that political stress has lured many believers into anger and a subtle hatred which has caused a distance in their personal relationship with God. So, what can we do? II Chronicles chapter seven reminds us of the critical need for repentance. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Instead of trying to change everyone else, let’s ask God to help us become the person He has called us to be. It’s a good possibility that a portion of what we think is being interpreted through a lens that is dusty and out of focus.

Have we considered embracing humility, setting aside our party bias, and sincerely praying that God would reveal the individual He wants us to vote for? Can we agree that God knows who would be the best person for the job?

And what about unity? Well, with God being absolute truth, the solution to seeing eye to eye would be for everyone to listen and follow our Creator. This would allow us to be on His page with every subject and we would all be correct. Opinions are relative to the individual, but truth is God’s universal standard of right and wrong. I know this is a stretch for the imagination, but Jesus prayed in John chapter 17 that all who believe in Him would be one with God the same as He is one with His Father. You see, spiritual unity is established on our love for God and all people and the less love we have for others, the less unity we will experience. I Timothy 2:1-2 encourages us, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”

What exactly is the "buy it for life" movement?

Hey Taylor: Have you heard of the Buy It for Life movement? My friends keep talking about it, Taylor and it seems like it’s just Kovar about buying expensive things. Can you explain? - Liza Hey Liza: I’m happy to explain this “movement,” though it seems like you’ve pretty much got it figured out. The idea is to buy expensive things that will last as a means of avoiding constant replacements and repairs that really add up. Great in theory, but does it actually work in practice?

For some products, this is a no brainer, especially with bigger purchases. Always pay more for good home renovations, a decent vehicle, maybe a computer if you need it for work. Now, when I say “always pay more,” I’m not suggesting you have to pay for the most expensive brand on the market. However, anytime you go with the cheapest option for something like a new roof or a new laptop, you can expect to be shopping for a replacement sooner than you’d like.

My issue with the Buy It for Life idea is that it doesn’t stop at bigticket items. There’s an expensive option for every type of purchase, and that isn’t always necessary. I bought a cheap sleeping bag in a pinch 15 years ago and it’s still holding up just fine; I own a few second-hand tools that cost very little and still work great; I’ve had friends pick up roadside couches that have then stayed with them for years.

The point is, if you see yourself as part of a movement and get too enamored with buying expensive things, I guarantee you’ll spend

unnecessarily. You’ll start paying more for accessories you don’t actually need, like coffee makers that also toast your bread and salt shakers made of crystal. Sure, you’ll have a durable salt shaker, but you might not be able to afford the salt that goes in it.

Are some smaller items worth the extra money? Absolutely. Durable jackets, sturdy mattresses, quality knives and dozens of other household items can make great one-time buys that will save you money in the long run. If you know you’re going to use something forever, go ahead and spend a little extra. That said, I would encourage you to think long and hard before handing over your cash. Don’t make big purchases if you’re about to move, and don’t buy something you don’t actually need. A good, expensive cooler might last forever, but what’s the point if it’s never going to leave your garage?

Those are my thoughts on the Buy It for Life concept. It’s important to buy quality products, but it’s just as important to avoid overspending. Keep shopping smart and thanks for writing in!

Living with children John Rosemond

It’s funny, sort of, the things some parents want to believe.

An example concerns children who’ve developed fullblown “eating disorders” by age three.

“My child was exhibiting food intolerances as an infant!” a mother insisted to me after I had told an audience that picky eating was learned as opposed to some anomaly of the nerve endings in a child’s tongue or the tongue-tobrain connection, the bogus explanation for the equally bogus (as in, lacking scientific credibility) diagnosis of “sensory integration disorder.”

“And?” I queried, anticipating what came next.

“She can’t help it! It’s something she was born with!”

The reasoning seems to be as follows: a) Infants sometimes display food “intolerances.” b) An infant is not smart enough to know when his parents are dancing to his tune. c) Therefore, an infant’s food intolerances have nothing to do with anything his parents have or have not done; they must be inborn.

The more correct conclusion is that many parents do not appreciate how smart their kids are, even as infants. How could a five-month-old figure out how to make his parents dance to his tune? C’mon!

My daughter was “intolerant” of certain foods as an infant. When my wife introduced purees, Amy would sometimes, upon experiencing a certain taste for the first time, screw up her face and push whatever it was out of her mouth with her tongue.

Mushed squash? Yuk! Willie would simply scoop up the mush and push it back in, even if she had to gently pry Amy’s gums apart. Sometimes, one spoonful of mush would require

five or six attempts before it was all down Amy’s gullet. The message: You will eat what I give you.

By age nine, Amy was eating raw sushi and loving it.

I am convinced that most picky eating gets started before the child in question is one year old. As with the above mother, parents of pickers often tell me their kids were “intolerant” of certain foods from the very beginning. Yeah, well, so are most kids, probably.

Parents either persist in accustoming the child’s palate to what is initially repulsive or they switch to another mush and then another and another in a hunt for what the child will “tolerate.” In no time at all, one has a food tyrant on their hands.

The more general problem involves parents who, from day one, making pleasing their children a priority. That attempt turns the family upside down, inside out, and backwards. The all -but guaranteed outcome is miserable parents and a petulant, disrespectful, child, generically referred to as a “brat.”

I have witnessed, on numerous occasions, parents turn that perverse state of affairs around, putting the brat in his rightful place. Inevitably, the former and now repentant brat’s sense of well -being visibly improves. Now under authority instead of in a position of pseudo-authority, he is more carefree, more resilient, less dramatic, and just a lot more pleasant to be around. Everyone wins!

Families are great places when everyone knows their place and eats what is served.
