It’s beginning to look a lot like fall Not sure why I feel like I’m alone, but anything that has a possible side-effect of death should not be mandated by anyone. ***** It seems this coming week could be an interesting one. Outside of Maricopa County Audit results, a Julian Assange court date, an EBS System testing, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell is hosting a “Cyber Symposium” Tuesday through Thursday on FrankSpeech.com. During this symposium, Lindell will be revealing the cyber data and packet captures from the November 2020 Election. According to Lindell, there will be indisputable evidence that China hacked the November election through online intrusions of the machines and used algorithms to flip votes from Trump to Biden. One would think if these packet captures were real, this would seem to be an act of war. ***** This week could be a good time to have some cash on hand.

The Howe Bulldogs football season is a mere 18 days from kickoff. Everyone knows how difficult the schedule is as one of the smallest teams in Class 3A Division I football in the great

State of Texas, but don’t tell Howe Head Coach Bill Jehling or his group of young and talented athletes.

The Bulldogs look to compete in 2021— even with a heavy roster of underclass-

Austin Haley, fullback Carson Daniels, and lineman Matthew Bearden. Last season it was Cooper Jones and Mahlon Walker.

This season, it is

men and starters mostly comprised of such. This could be the third year in a row that Howe will start a freshman on the offensive side of the ball as two years ago it was quarterback

Geoffrey Johnson is Howe’s newest postmaster. He replaces LeAndra Beckemeyer, who was in Howe for over 20 years.

Johnson says he is going to be in Howe

for a while also, but he is eligible for retirement in three years.

Johnson started in Howe November 7 of last year but was help-

ing out in Sulphur Springs until taking over full time in Howe this past January.

Johnson says he loves Howe and has worked in big offices, but says Howe is perfect.

“This is perfect for me,” said Johnson. “I love the people and the people love me back.”

His USPS career began in August of 2000 after retiring from the US Navy. He was a carrier in Mesquite before transferring to South Oak Cliff. He moved into management in Waco in 2006 as he was stationed near McLennon Community College. He was then promoted to management at the Stock Yard Station in Fort Worth.

In 2010, he became the postmaster in Denison and stayed there for two years. He then transferred to Richardson where he was officer-in-charge for three years.

He then became the postmaster in DeSoto where he stayed prior to coming to Howe.

Johnson lives in Haslet, Texas which he says takes an hour and 15 minutes in the morning and an hour and 30 minutes in the afternoon. He says he has always driven to each post office and plans to continue to drive back and forth. He commuted from Fort Worth to Waco, so this is a small drive compared to his previous stops.

“I’m just basically going to kill cars,” said Johnson who predicts he’ll put 40,000 miles on his vehicle this year. “I usually rotate my cars every two years or two-and-a -half.”

Johnson is married to LaKeshia, and they have an oldest son who is a pilot at Whidbey Island, Washington where he just came back from deployment from the USS Eisenhower in the US Navy.

They have another son who is aged 24 who is also a pilot and just left in the US Navy on the USS Carl Vinson replacing the USS Ronald Reagan. They also have a 21-year-old daughter who is a model in Florida.

He says that the community of Howe is more of a hometown feel than his other stops and he says it’s because of the people. Other places are more spread out and he says that the people in Howe are more friendly.

“In Denison, when they're not taking shots at Sherman, they stick to themselves,” said Johnson.

He says that DeSoto is his favorite stops to this point due to seeing pure athletes come into the post office on a daily basis. Johnson is also a referee in the Fort Worth Chapter on Friday nights

Howe Postmaster Geoffrey Johnson and knows a good athlete when he sees one.

“It would just blow your mind.

The people there are very nice, and they have athletes—like big time athletes,” said Johnson.

“You’ll see a 13-year-old that’s 6’-3”, 305 pounds that’s not even in high school yet. You see Vaughn Miller walk into the post office. You see Earl Spence, Jr. walk into the post office. You see 40 percent of the Dallas District Post Office lives in DeSoto, so the postmaster of Dallas comes through there, so there’s a lot going on.”

Johnson is a Dallas Cowboys fan and a Los Angeles Chargers fan because he lived in San Diego for 18 years. He’s a TCU graduate and loves is Horned Frogs.

As a referee he’s seen some of North Texas’ greatest football players over the years. He was a referee on the field when Michael Crabtree from Dallas Carter lost at Texas Stadium to Mesquite.

That is just one of many examples of NFL caliber talent he has been only a few feet from.

“We did a San Angelo Central and Allen game where they requested our crew and I tell you, that was out of control,” said Johnson.

“We had to be there two hours ahead because of the line all the way around.”

Understanding the dynamic of high school football to their hometown, Johnson has vowed to fly the Howe Bulldogs’ flag on the flagpole on Fridays and outfit the postal personnel in Howe Bulldogs gameday gear. This has made him a popular guy among some of the letter carriers in the office—especially the ones that have kids in high school.

Johnson is unsure of whether he will take retirement when he’s available to in three years because he loves what he does. And why wouldn’t he love it? The people here love him, and he loves them.

Road rage incident in Howe lands Oklahoma woman in the Grayson County Jail HOWE, Texas – A Del City, Oklahoma, woman was arrested and booked into the Grayson County Jail Monday on charges of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon after brandishing a weapon at other motorists during a road rage incident in Howe.

The incident began in Van Alstyne and carried over into Howe as Philissa Ashford, 37, reportedly weaved in and out of traffic pointing a firearm at other motorists. Howe officers stopped Ashford’s black 2008 Toyota Avalon and seized a firearm matching the description of the gun provided by a 911 caller.

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon is a second-degree felony, and if convicted, Ashford faces up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

season, and only one day in full pads, no starting positions, or even roster spots have been guaranteed. But one sure lock is 3year starter Austin Haley who enters his junior year already ranked 5th all-time in school history in passing yards. He only trails Chase Fountain, Jay Skipworth, Brian Freese, and Rick Hanning.

With a 1,000-yard season, he will be 3rd all-time entering his senior year with an outstanding chance of becoming Howe’s all-time leading passer.

The losses of Jalen Thornton and Jordan Jones are no doubt going to hurt the overall speed of the offensive run game. But moving to a one-back look with 3-year starter Carson Daniels who’s downhill running looks as good as ever early in camp. Daniels missed much of the season a year ago due to a surgical procedure but looks to play the leading role in the backfield along with Bryce Crosby.

Returning starter Ryan Hough has always been an outside threat and that shouldn’t change. Cooper Jones is getting reps as an inside slot receiver which is where he most dangerous. Jones is a weapon in space and his 6’0, 210 pound frame is a load to bring down.

Returning starter, sophomore Mahlon Walker, is getting reps at center with senior Jordan Troxtell working left guard, junior Caleb Hix at left tackle, freshman Charlie Vera at right guard, and senior Luis Gonzalez at right tackle. Also vying for spots on the line are Ayden Burris, Luciano Vazquez, Clay White, Brodie McCollum, and Michael Riddle among others. Coach J says the offensive line pieces are still coming together.

The biggest surprise could be 3year starter Matthew Bearden who missed virtually all of last season with a finger injury. He has always played on the offensive line, but with a drop in weight is being looked at as a tight end. Bearden has always had good speed and hands for a lineman.

On defense, senior Will Fleming returns at nose tackle after missing all but the opening game of the season a year ago. Senior Jaryn Grisham is expected to also anchor the defensive line. Hix, Troxtell, Jones, and Crosby are all linebackers. Both cornerbacks are returning in Caleb Wahrmund and Wesley Ingle and Haley was selected as an All-Texomaland safety. Look out for sleeper sophomore Kolin Murphy who should find a role. Junior Matt Hayes will see a lot of action on both sides of the field.

If 7-on-7 from the summer is any indication, Kaleb McNutt could be poised for an outstanding senior year at receiver. The tall slender wideout is showing outstanding hands in camp and plays larger than his frame.

Head Coach Bill Jehling enters his fourth season at Howe. The schedule is brutal, and he understands that. If Howe were in Division II, they’d be a sure lock for a playoff spot and maybe even a deep playoff run.

Legislative review to be given in Howe Thursday Texas State Senator Bob Hall and State Representative Bryan Slaton will be in Howe on Thursday to review the 87th Legislative Session. The event will take place at First Baptist Church of Howe, August 12 at 6:30 pm.

Senator Bob Hall, father of four boys and husband to Kay Hall, taught his family the importance of faith, family and hard work.

Senator Hall graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina with a degree in Electrical Engineering and received a Regular Commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. While a cadet at the Citadel he received numerous awards for leadership.

He was the only Air Force Cadet selected to be a Battalion Commander and was awarded the coveted Wade Hampton saber as the graduating cadet who had contributed the most to the Citadel during the four years he was a cadet, and was listed in "Who's Who In American Colleges" his Senior year. Upon graduation, Bob began his active duty as a Systems Engineer working to develop the Minuteman Missile System during the Cold War at Norton AFB in California, where he achieved the rank of Captain.

After the Air Force he worked in the Aerospace industry as a systems engineer and business development manager. In 1982 he left the corporate world and began working as an independent proposal consultant to aerospace and defense corporations. Then in 1984 he formed his own company, Professional Proposal Management, Inc. A compelling sense of duty, shaped by his military service, business experience, and love for this country, drives him to leave behind the legacy of a patriotic servant for his children and grandchildren. Envisioning their futures compelled him to become actively involved in the state's political process and strongly believes it is time to stand in the gap for our children, our liberties and our future.

Born in Mineola, Texas, Bryan Slaton is a proud East Texan with values and principles that represent the great people of East Texas. These values were formed as he grew up regularly participating in church and family gatherings.

Bryan attended Ouachita Baptist University, where he earned a double major in Youth Ministry/

Former Army Intelligence Captain finds fraud in every state from November election

Survival Magazine Retired Army intelligence captain, elections data expert, and former baseball analyst Seth Keshel released his final national fraud numbers over the weekend.

Seth Keshel examined the final vote counts in all 50 states compared to the estimated numbers based on changing state dynamics and trends. He then came up with his estimated voter fraud in each state.

Representative Bryan Slaton

He published his results on his popular Telegram page. Keshel confirms President Trump won: PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA and MN. And Keshel also believes cyber-

Speech Communication. He then attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and earned a Masters of Divinity with Biblical Languages. He served in the ministry as a Youth and Family Minister for 13 years.

Continuing his education, Bryan graduated from The University of North Texas, where he earned a Bachelor degree in Business Administration Accounting. Bryan now works at the family business.

Bryan Slaton is passionate about helping the people of East Texas obtain and maintain a Government that is transparent, protects liberty, defends the sanctity of life and fulfills the will of the sovereign people of Texas.

Representative Slaton enjoys hunting and shooting. Bryan and his wife, Sharmen, have been married for three years. They have a son, Maximus, and attend Fellowship Church - Royse City.

flipping may have affected the results in NM, VA, NJ, and NH. According to Keshel’s investigation there were conservatively 8,144,000 excess Joe Biden votes recorded in the 2020 election.

Later this morning Keshel joined Steve Bannon on The War Room.

Sethel told Steve how Texas officials were pushing back against his fraud estimates.

Democrats have been aiming to turn Texas blue for over a decade now, knowing that would ruin the Republican Party and secure a permanent majority for the Socialists. Seth Keshel explained how even the 2020 vote totals in Texas are suspect.

2021 Howe Chamber event schedule

The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce is organized for the purpose of advancing the commercial, industrial, civic and general interest of the City of Howe, Texas.

Howe, Texas is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 75, State Highway 5, and Farm Road 902, on the Southern Pacific line ten miles south of Sherman in southern Grayson County. Howe is the highest point between the Red River and the Gulf of Mexico at 873 ft above sea level. The city was originated in 1872.

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 boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a prerecorded 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.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

Texas History Minute John Adams, the nation’s second president, once wrote, “I must study war and diplomacy so that my children may study math Ken Bridges and science and that their children may study art and philosophy.” Thus is the story of Lawrence Sullivan “Sul” Ross, a man who beat the proverbial sword into a plowshare, leaving a lasting legacy on Texas government and education. Ross was a soldier, governor, and educator.

“Sul” Ross was born in the Iowa Territory in 1838. His family moved to Texas in 1839. His father, Shapley P. Ross, was an early settler of both Milam and McLennan counties and a Texas Ranger.

bloody Confederate losses at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, and Corinth, Mississippi. In 1864, he was promoted to general, and at age 26, was one of the youngest in the Confederacy.

He returned to Texas in 1865 and rebounded from the war. He expanded his property holdings and was elected sheriff of McLennan County in 1873. As Reconstruction came to an end, he was elected as a delegate to the state constitutional convention that drafted the 1876 constitution the state still uses.

In 1880, he was drafted to run for state senate. The county Democratic convention could not agree between two candidates and chose Ross as a compromise. Ross reluctantly accepted and won in a landslide.

As a child, his father was often in battle against frontier Native American tribes. These experiences, coupled with the kidnapping of an uncle by one tribe, led Ross to develop a great deal of animosity against the tribes. When he came of age, he served with the army in raids on the Comanches, even briefly leaving college to fight. He graduated from Wesleyan College in Alabama in 1859 and joined the Texas Rangers in 1860, engaging in numerous battles against the tribes in the Young County area and northwest toward the Pease River.

As early as 1884, newspapers began calling for Ross to run for governor. In 1886, he threw his hat into the ring and won the election with a resounding 73% of the vote. In 1888, he presided over the dedication of the new State Capitol building, rebuilt after its destruction in an 1881 fire. He pushed the legislature to fund a new state orphanage and a Confederate veterans nursing home.

He ran a comfortable budget surplus for Texas. Republicans did not nominate a candidate in 1888, and Ross was re-elected easily, defeating the Prohibition Party candidate.

He entered the Confederate army when the Civil War began. He became a colonel with the 6th Texas Cavalry and participated in the

As his term was winding down, he was chosen to be the third president of what is now Texas A&M University. The college had strug-

gled since its founding in 1876.

He raised student fees in order to construct a new cafeteria and a new dorm (named Ross Hall). He expanded the curriculum and began allowing women to attend the college (though only the daughters of professors). Enrollment rose dramatically and the school’s money problems soon vanished.

The university band was formed and the first football teams were organized. Students also began publishing their own newspaper and yearbook under Ross.

In 1894, he was offered a seat on the Railroad Commission, but he declined in order to continue serving as president of the college.

Ross was a popular figure on cam-

13 pus, and students developed a great deal of loyalty toward him.

However, he died suddenly at the age of 59 in 1898. University students accompanied Ross’s body to Waco where the funeral was held.

In 1917, the state established Sul Ross State Normal College in Alpine in his memory. Nearly three thousand students attend what is now Sul Ross State University.

Ross’s influence continued to be felt at Texas A&M. A street on campus was later named in his honor. A statue of Ross was placed on the Texas A&M campus in 1918. Students to this day often place pennies at the feet of the statue for good luck on their exams.

Howe ISD announced its policy that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year. Each school/site or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed upon request.

While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.

Howe ISD anunció hoy su política de que, en este año escolar, se ofrecerán comidas saludables a todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno en todos los días escolares. Por lo general, el hogar de

un estudiante debe cumplir con los requisitos de elegibilidad de ingresos para calificar para recibir comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA, por sus siglas en inglés), emitió una guía que permite a las escuelas ofrecer comidas a todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno para el año escolar 2021-2022. Cada escuela/ centro u oficina central tiene una copia de la política, que puede ser revisada bajo petición.

Si bien no se requiere ninguna solicitud o proceso de determinación de elegibilidad para que su estudiante reciba comidas gratuitas este año escolar, el requisito de elegibilidad de ingresos probablemente se reanudarán en el año escolar 2022-2023.

Precious memories will last forever There are different seasons in life and now in my retirement, I’m enjoying this opportunity where my daily schedule is not as deDr. Billy manding as it Holland once was. I’m not saying there are not plenty of things to do, but I can plan my days instead of obligations controlling me. In this season where most everyone hopes to reach eventually, I’ve discovered that having more “me time” also allows me to think about things that maybe I would normally be too busy to ponder. As a writer, I can express this endless flow of thoughts and considerations and for that I am grateful. I usually have at least 10 articles going at the same time and when a thought comes to me, I will add it to ideas I've already started. I know it sounds strange, but it works for me. I rarely had the chance to contemplate when I was younger because I always had a lot to do. I would try to relax in my backyard and would usually notice some weeds that needed to be pulled or a fence plank that could use an extra nail and before I knew it I was up and working again. I’m finally coming to a place where my internal peace is more important than digging up a dandelion.

I am sitting here in my office writing today and I see it is 3:00 in the afternoon and I’ve not even thought about lunch. This is not unusual as some days in the winter I will write until 7 or 8 in the evening and then join my wife for one of our ministry programs or survival reality shows. She is also retired and stays perfectly content during the day with cooking, gardening, Bible study, and watching her YouTube videos about people who are trying to live off the grid. We are satisfied to have our own quiet space which keeps us from driving each other crazy.

For those of you who are not retired yet, these are important issues you will also learn to adapt and deal with. This morning as I

was deep in thought about the significance of John 3:16, for some reason I started thinking about my dad. There is no actual connection with this but my mind just drifted off to a time long ago and I was reminded how much I miss him.

He was a great father and I often wonder how his life and our family’s lives would have been different if he had not spent the second half of his journey battling a devastating kidney disease and being on dialysis. It just seems he was so focused on staying alive that he forgot how to live.

Our past is filled with memories, and the good ones are precious. I remember the times when my dad and I would go fishing and mom would pack us lunch in an old picnic basket. We would be out on the lake and I can still recall all these years later the calm water, the sun shining, and a light summer breeze. It was so much fun to see who could catch the most and the largest fish. These were special times where it seemed that he and I stepped out of the normal world of daily routines and into a personal realm that only we shared. He would get excited with childlike joy and these moments I store in a secret chamber within the corridors of my mind. When I grew up, I started my own family and then he became very sick. Not only did I not have the time to go places with him, but he also did not feel like doing anything. As the years went by his condition deteriorated and in 2016 he went to be with the Lord. I believe the enthusiasm and compassion he had in this life cannot compare to the happiness he enjoys today. Of course, I am sad he is not here, but at the same time, I rejoice with him in knowing that all is well and I will see him again. I also think about my children and now that I have the time to do things with them, they are busy with families of their own. I encourage you today whether you are a parent or a child, to take the time and spend some special moments with each other. These are the precious memories that will last forever.

Dave Ramsey and the great debate on good credit Hey Taylor: I’m usually a fan of Dave Ramsey, but he posted something recently about how a Taylor good credit Kovar score is a bad thing and I got a little confused. Any idea what he’s talking about and if it actually makes sense? - Alex Hey Alex: I read the post you’re talking about—a good credit score is just a symptom of being in love with debt—and I’m going to go ahead and disagree with Mr. Ramsey. I understand his point, but feel like it oversimplifies debt, credit, and how the system works.

The gist. To Dave’s credit, he’s a big advocate of living debt-free. I can’t fault that belief, though that’s the driving force behind him saying people shouldn’t strive to improve their credit scores. It’s very true that a lot of people live beyond their means while having good credit on paper. It’s also true that good credit should not come at the expense of bad debt. Fortunately, and contrary to Dave Ramsey’s post, the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

The credit score. To get any sort of credit score, you need to have a transaction history with creditors. This includes banks, credit cards, mortgage lenders, student loan providers, etc. The longer you’ve had accounts in good standing, and the more unused credit you have, the better your score will be. Essentially, all you have to do is be smart with your money and your score will go up, which will make it that much easier to buy a house and make big investments down the road. To say a credit score is only an indicator of how much debt you’ve suffered through ignores the fact that you need a good credit score

to buy a house, lease a car, or even open up a new line of credit without getting a soul-crushing APR. Your FICO score absolutely matters, and while there are ways to live life without one, it’s a lot easier to just spend wisely and watch your credit improve.

The right strategy. If you try too hard to get a good score, you might fall into some of the traps Dave Ramsey warns about. Instead, use one credit card and pay it off every month. If you lease a car or take out a small personal loan and pay it back quickly, you’ll typically see your score go up. As long as you spend within your means and budget well, you can use credit without ever falling into debt. Then you’ll get that attractive credit score, which will save you money in the long run when you start making bigger purchases.

Can you live without a credit score? Sure, if you’ve got the means. Is it easier to live with a good credit score and a smart spending plan? No doubt about it, even if Dave Ramsey himself says otherwise. Thanks for the question!

Living with children Q: Our 19month-old is a very active little boy who flips out when things do not go his way. When he has a tantrum, John we walk away Rosemond or simply ignore him. Nonetheless, he will scream and flail about and has recently begun to bang his head on the floor, walls, doors, furniture, whatever. Is this typical of very strong-willed toddlers and will he eventually grow out of it, or is it something we need to discipline?

A: One of my graduate school professors was of the opinion that all toddlers are psychotic.

By the time I took his class, I was the father of a two-year-old and agreed with his hypothesis. Indeed, full-blown rages are not uncommon at this age and some kids, for inexplicable reasons, emphasize their displeasure by banging their heads on floors, walls, and furniture, which is why God designed the human skull such that it doesn’t begin to harden until age three.

The problem is not that some toddlers bang their heads. A pediatrician friend of mine did a search and was unable to find a record of an otherwise “normal” toddler (e.g., your son) incurring significant damage from head-banging.

Bruises on the forehead are about as bad as it gets. The problem is that some parents freak out over head-banging. Toddlers are highly intuitive little people. When they discover that head-banging gets their parents' attention and, furthermore, that it obviously upsets them, they bang with even more enthusiasm. Toddlers are also very mischievous little people.

My fail-safe solution (at least, I've never been informed of a failure): Draw a circle on a wall with some substance that can be removed later – washable crayon, maybe.

Make sure the circle is between two studs and not on top of a stud (think, nail heads). Take your son over to the circle.

Say, “We told your doctor how much you like banging your head on things. He said that when you feel like banging your head, you should bang it here! This is your new and very special headbanging place!” You should, of course, demonstrate the proper technique as you explain the new “rule” to him.

From that point on, whenever your very own live-in nutcase begins to bang his head, simply take him to the circle and say, "No, no, no. Bang here! You can bang here all you want! Yes, yes, this is a lovely place to bang your head on!"

Then, walk away, preferably into another room. If my experience – including testimonies from many parents who have used this same ruse – serves me well, the banging will stop within a week or so.

This is much less expensive that rubberizing all the walls and floors in your house.

The Silent War and the World Awakening EDITOR’S NOTE—This column is reserved as an editorial with collection of headlines and columns from various publications and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

Monday, August 2 Today is the deadline set for Dominion and Maricopa County to appear in court or appear before the Arizona Senate to testify. *** In another statement, Trump said that new evidence of vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election will soon appear. According to him, "there is significant and unequivocal evidence that the elections were undermined due to fraud and violations at a level that America has never seen before (...) Much of this is already well known, and much more will appear in the near future." *** The CDC will begin using a new COVID test that will help better detect cases of influenza after seasonal data on this disease stopped coming in from 2020. *** Democrats in Arizona and Pennsylvania are threatening to destroy voting machines after an audit. *** About 1,000 illegal aliens are detained by the Border Patrol in Texas. Biden plans to send free lawyers to the border to help hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants cross the open southern border of the United States. *** The "Trump won" banner is unfurled at the Texas Rangers game. *** Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich: "The states must take important steps to ensure the security of our elections." *** A leaked audio recording reveals the alleged sexual abuse of children by the staff of one of the Texas border checkpoints. *** Kamala Harris' rating is falling: The vice president has the lowest approval rating since the 1970s. *** The mayor of the District of Columbia, Bowser, violates his own mandate and organizes a wedding in a room without masks. *** Senator John Barrasso: "The goal of the Democrats is to pass the S1 stage, at which you no longer need to have a voter ID - this will make it easier for Democrats to cheat in elections." *** The recently elected President of Peru, Pedro Castillo, faced protests. Thousands of people turned out for rallies in the country's capital. They accuse Castillo of corruption, rigging the election results and assisting terrorists. *** Hezbollah official Ali Barakat was killed in an armed ambush during a funeral procession in the coastal city of Halde, Lebanon.

*** Israel will destroy about 80 thousand doses of coronavirus vaccines with a total cost of almost $2 million. They have expired. *** The United States, Israel and the United Kingdom accuse Iran of attacking an Israeli oil tanker and killing two crew members, threatening an equivalent response. *** The Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) has called on the world community to do everything so that by the middle of 2022, 60 percent of the inhabitants of all countries without exception will be vaccinated against coronavirus. *** The shelves of ammunition stores in America are empty - arms sales in the country continue to grow.

39 percent of families now own guns, up from 32 percent in 2016.

The scientific director of Icosagen, a company specializing in genetic engineering, said that laboratory studies have so far confirmed that the BioBlock nasal spray developed by his team of scientists protects equally well against all strains of coronavirus, including the delta variant. *** ZOOM will pay $ 85 million to settle a lawsuit for violating the privacy rights of users by sharing personal data with Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. *** Tuesday, August 3, 2021 Maricopa County and Dominion again violated a subpoena to the Arizona Senate over routers, passwords and all other materials necessary for a full judicial audit.

They don't obey the law. Senator Rogers is ready to activate the election integrity unit and "start hacking" the necessary doors to get passwords and routers. This week, we can expect actions to ensure the execution of court summonses. Earlier, Democrat supporter, Jack Sellers, delivered a letter to the Arizona Senate after refusing subpoenas - state senators are calling for charges of treason. *** Election expert Seth Keshel has released national data on fraud: 8.1 million extra votes were found in the US elections, supporting the claim that Trump won the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Minnesota. *** Another D.C. police officer who attended the protests in the Capitol on January 6 committed suicide. Thus, three Capitol police officers are already dead as a result of suicide. *** Psaki: "Joe Biden leaves room for choice for additional Covid restrictions." *** Drone footage shows hundreds of

migrants detained by the border Patrol under the Texas Bridge.
