Under the weather Dogs have game cancelled with Bells due to sickness The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce has cancelled the September 11 BBQ fundraiser for the Howe Fire Department. A shortage of briskets was the main culprit. We were told by a local Walmart store manager that for whatever reason, there’s a large abundance of chicken, but briskets are nowhere to be found. The chamber says that they will try again on the evening of the Christmas parade on December 11. More details later. ***** Quarterback Austin Haley was one of the players who was sick and unable to play Friday. When a friend posted photos of Austin at a birthday party in a restaurant on Friday afternoon, it caused a flood of angry text messages.

However, it was stated that the photos were from the previous weekend. His father stated that he hadn’t left the house since Tuesday. Calm down.

Thursday after lunch, Howe Head Coach Bill Jehling decided to cancel the game with Bells due to a roster that had been depleted with sickness. Most it appears were not COVIDpositive cases, rather good old fashion strep throat, and general sickness related.

Senior Will Fleming was one of nearly ten Howe players that came down with illnesses during last week of practice. Fleming’s was a non-COVID related illness. Photo by Michelle Carney.

The reason for cancellation came down to a lack of players that created a depth issue should there had been injuries during the game. Jehling was to carry only six linemen

into the game. He shut down the program over the weekend so that everyone could get well. They will resume practice today in preparation for their game at Sanger on Friday night.

Howe has a 4-4-2 record against Sanger dating back to the first meeting—a bi-district 12-12 tie in Whitesboro in 1942. Prior to last year’s 35-8 loss at home, Howe hadn’t played Sanger since 1981 or hosted Sanger since 1980.

Howe Middle School Student Council again hosting First Responders Cookout Due to COVID in 2020, the Annual First Responders Cookout hosted by Howe Middle School Student Council was held in “drive-by form.” But HMS Principal Clay Wilson says that the event will go back to the in-person cookout that it has been in previous years.

It will be held Friday, September 10 from 11:30am to 1pm.

HMS Student Council will be serving hamburgers, hotdogs, sides, and drinks.

Bandsman of the week Zoey Moore is the Bandsman of the Week. An interview with her aired during halftime of the Howe vs. Bells broadcast Friday night.

Question: When did you start with the band program?

Answer: In fifth grade, I tried out to be a flute (player) and we started the second semester of the year. I’ve been in band since then.

a

Question: Your band director tells me about your first day of band camp as a freshman. There might have been some nerves?

Were there tears involved?

Answer: Yes, there were a lot of tears involved, actually. That morning, I woke up and my grandpa was supposed to pick me up and I called my mom and started crying and said I didn’t want to come. It was too stressful. I was scared about high school at the start and my papaw actually had to pick me up, put me in the truck. When we got to the school, Mrs. Liss and the drum major at the time Kindle Catching had to basically, not pull me out of the truck, but talk me out of getting out of the truck. I actually had a great time.

Question: You have some family members that have been employed by Howe ISD… Answer: Yes, my Grandma Laura Moore was a janitor for the middle school until I was in third grade. And Mrs. Liss just told me that one of the first band directors, Mrs. Rulla—I’m related to her by marriage.

Question: You had a solo in last year’s show and a solo this year.

What’s that feeling like during the show?

Answer: It’s kind of crazy because I’m a very quiet person.

So, it’s something that really pushed me to be confident in myself and out of my comfort zone.

Just being in the show is a crazy feeling to know that everyone is watching me and to be able to have the opportunity to have my own solo.

Question: So, you’re on the Leadership Team for the Pride of Howe. What are your responsibilities?

Some of my responsibilities are to just make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do.

We have certain cleaning duties with our squads. Also, just to make sure that everyone has a great time and has a positive attitude.

What’s the outlook for this season? Obviously, the main thing we’re all working for is to make it all the way to the end to the place that we don’t talk about.

City of Howe conducting smoke testing on the sewer system The City of Howe is currently smoke testing its sewers lines.

This is done periodically to locate sources of sewer odors, leaks and breaks in sewer lines. The smoke testing is taking place from now through September 10 between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm.

The type of smoke used is harmless, white to yellowish white in color, and may have a slight odor.

It is harmless to plants and animals. If the smoke gets into citizens’ homes, they should ventilate the house. On the outside of the house or neighbor’s house, one may notice smoke coming from sewer vents, gutters and downspouts, or out of the ground along sewer lines.

On the inside of citizen’s homes, smoke or its odor may come out of the plumbing or fixtures. This is an indication that dangerous gases and unpleasant odors from the sewer may enter your house.

This should not happen if your plumbing is in good working order. You can minimize the chances of this happening by running enough water into the sinks, tubs, and showers to fill the sewer trap with water. Do not forget floor

drains.

Location, identification and correction of the source of smoke entering your house or building is urgently advised. The correction of any defects in the pipes and sewer on private property is the responsibility of the property owner. If you detect smoke in your house and are uncertain about the cause, contact your utility at: Michael Phillips, Public Works Director, City of Howe 116 E. Haning St. Howe, TX 75459 903-532-5571 Or Jeremy Love Manhole Rehab Inc. 6009 W. Parker Rd. Plano, TX 75093

Howe ISD Spotlight: Katie Ciani Howe High School English Teacher Katie Ciani is the Howe ISD Spotlight of the Week. An interview with her aired during halftime of the Howe vs. Callisburg broadcast two Friday nights ago.

Outside of English IV, she teaches Dual-Credit English IV, the campus’ education technology ambassador, and is the theater director.

She grew up in the Sherman area and graduated from S&S High School in 2007 She went to college in Abilene and Graduate School in Ohio.

She started college with the idea of being in pre-physical therapy with the goal of becoming an athletic trainer. She then decided on something more in the ballpark of a 9-5 career. Her love for reading and love for being in school had her switch her major to English.

“I decided I wanted to teach other

kids to enjoy reading,” said Ciani.

“I wanted everyone to enjoy the same world of literature and building of all these cool stories as I did.”

Her junior year English teacher at S&S High School inspired her the most.

“I remember reading Ender’s Game and she let us make ourselves comfortable in the classroom,” said Ciani who said she remembers reading while turning her desk upside down and place her backpack against her chair. I remember thinking, ‘everyone should have this.’”

She said that’s the kind of teacher she hopes to be and wants to be for her students.

As theater director, Ciani has enjoyed success in One Act Play.

“We have managed to get better every year which is the goal,”

said Ciani.

The program reached the bidistrict round her first year and to the area round a year later. The third year was shut down due to COVID, but last year they made it to the regional round.

“There’s only one place left to go,” said Ciani with a smile.

“Finger’s crossed.”

Ciani has been in Howe since 2013 right out of college and has no plans to leave.

“We have such good kids. It’s a community here and I don’t want to leave here,” said Ciani. “I love being in this small town. I love getting to go to the football games. The kids will come to me and give me a high-five or a hug and on Monday will say, ‘hey, did you see my touchdown.’ It’s almost like a family. Everyone says that and I don’t know how to say it any differently. But it’s such a welcoming wholesome feeling here.”

Each week The Howe Enterprise

spotlight’s a Howe ISD Employee which airs during the halftime show of the Friday night football broadcast. Next week, we’ll feature Summit Hill Elementary 2nd Grade Teacher Donna Weir.

Judy Karen Harmon Finney, 1951-2021 Judy Karen Harmon Finney (Neena) was born October, 11 1951 in Sherman Texas. Judy passed peacefully on August 31, 2021. Judy was a devoted Christian, wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an unparalleled force of love, joy and kindness.

It is not possible to package up the life of Judy Finney in a short summary. Her kindness and positivity were fueled by her deep and endless capacity to love. She was a wonderful wife and best friend to the love of her life, Jimmy. She was a loving mother who always knew what to say and the perfect Neena with an endless supply of sweets and treats. Judy was always doing the classic good deeds for others: visiting those who are lonely, tending to the sick, delivering food to families in times of struggle, and helping those in need. She certainly did all of those things on a regular basis, but Judy stepped it up a notch. She made cookies for the workers at Southwest Cargo, delivered snacks to strangers in hospital waiting rooms, sent gifts to people she just met, had a card for every occasion and turned the gray skies blue with her kindness and positivity. Judy will be missed by so many. Everyone she encountered knew and experienced true love in every moment of her presence.

She is survived by her husband, Jimmy Finney, son, Jarad Finney and his wife, Erica Briggs-Finney,

daughter, Heather Finney, grandkids, Hayley Briggs and Bryson Finney, brother, Benny Harmon and wife Debbie and an innumerable group of “Friends Family.”

Funeral services were held at 10:00 AM on Friday at the Howe Church of Christ Church. Burial followed at the Hall Cemetery in Howe.

For those who wish to attend the service via live stream, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/ HoweChurchOfChrist/ You may leave comments for the family there as well.

Water, boating safety takes precedence ahead of Labor Day weekend

AUSTIN— With Labor Day weekend approaching, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is reminding everyone to be safe this holiday by following basic boating and water safety precautions. In 2020, Texans took advantage of the outdoors and hit the waters in droves, driving recreational boating accidents to a 30 year high. Outreach efforts by Texas Game Wardens and community partners have resulted in a 24 percent decrease in boating related accidents but numbers remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.

“We are expecting another boost in Texans enjoying the outdoors during the Labor Day weekend so Texas Game Wardens will be out in force to ensure that everyone exercises proper safety protocols on the water,” said Cody Jones, TPWD Assistant Commander for Marine Enforcement. “We want to ensure water-related activities are handled in a responsible manner. While you are on a boat, wear a life jacket, closely supervise any children with you, use the engine kill switch and abstain from driving a boat if you are drinking alcohol.”

Learning to swim, checking

weather reports, and participating in a boater education class are also simple steps to take before heading out on the water. The TPWD website offers multiple resources and boater education courses which must be completed by anyone operating a personal watercraft or a boat with a 15horsepower rating or more.

“As usual, the increase in boating traffic goes hand in hand with a higher visibility of Texas Game Wardens,” Jones added. “Boaters should expect to see us out on patrol ensuring that everyone under the age of 13 is wearing a life vest, that boats are equipped with the proper flotation devices, and no one operating a boat is under the influence of alcohol. We want to ensure Texans have a great holiday and the only way to do that is by following state laws.”

For more information about boating safety, laws and requirements, visit TPWD’s boating laws website.

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 He was the first chief justice of the state supreme court in Texas, and as such, he made Texas law into an instrument to Ken Bridges be used by all people. John Hemphill was one of the first great legal minds to preside over a Texas court.

in Texas would be interpreted by the courts. Texas was just developing its own law system and was still working with laws left over from Spanish and Mexican rule. Realizing he had to be able to understand the cases coming before him that were based in Spanish law, Hemphill quickly learned Spanish to be able decipher and apply the intricacies of these old laws.

Hemphill was born in South Carolina in 1803, the son of a Presbyterian minister and Irish immigrant. As a young man, he attended Jefferson College in Pennsylvania and briefly served as a teacher.

By December, the Texas Congress had elevated him to the position of chief justice of the supreme court. As chief justice, he played a careful role in crafting the practice of law in Texas. He ruled on several cases that gave women inheritance rights equal to men and increased ease of settlers to claim property. Hemphill believed that the law must not be used to oppress but instead be used to recognize the rights of all citizens. Overall, he believed that a judge must act with honor and that the law must be exercised with respect to evidence and the rights of the people.

Though college-educated, he never attended a formal law school.

As was the custom at the time, he apprenticed himself to a local attorney to study the law. Within a matter of months, Hemphill was allowed to practice law in South Carolina. By 1831, he had established his own law practice. He was an outspoken lawyer and briefly edited a newspaper in Sumter.

After Texas gained its independence from Mexico in 1836, he became fascinated by the events unfolding in the new republic. He headed west in 1838 and began a law practice at Washington-onthe-Brazos, where he quickly became a respected figure.

In January 1840, the Texas Congress selected him to be associate justice on the Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas. As a justice, he had to shape how the law

September 6, 2021

As an active supporter of statehood, he attended the state constitutional convention in 1845 and helped draft the new state constitution for Texas as it prepared to become a state. Later changes in the state constitution made the supreme court an elected position rather than an appointed position as it was with federal judicial positions and judgeships in several other states. Hemphill’s popularity did not make this an obstacle.

He easily won the election to the position of chief justice in 1851, followed by re-election five years

later.

In 1858, the town of Hemphill was named after him in Sabine County and made the county seat.

That same year, the state legislature rejected Sam Houston’s bid for re-election to the U. S. Senate and instead elected Hemphill to succeed him in the Senate.

However, his time in Washington did not last long. Two years later, as Texas seceded from the Union, Hemphill openly supported secession and was expelled from the Senate along with other southern supporters of secession.

Texas immediately chose him to represent Texas at the new Provisional Confederate Congress.

Hemphill served on the Judiciary and Finance committees but failed to win a full term in the fall 1861 election.

John Hemphill Hemphill died in 1862. In 1876, the state legislature honored his service by naming Hemphill County, located in the Panhandle, after him.

God is near, and he is listening Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and he desires to spend quiet time with you. Our heavenly Father beckons us to draw near to him as Dr. Billy he longs to be Holland with His children. As we go about our busy day, many times we do not realize his presence but nevertheless, he is there. May we listen with our ears, watch with our eyes, and be aware of our thoughts as God is always trying to communicate with us. The Lord of compassion gives us breath and every heartbeat as a gift of his endless mercy and grace. He cares about our disappointments and heartaches because he loves us more than anything.

Time on earth is short, here today gone tomorrow, but eternity will last forever. Each person has a spirit, and every spirit will either live forever with God or forever without Him. Jesus was born into this world, was crucified, and rose from the dead so that whoever believes in Him can be spiritually born again. His blood paid our ransom and forgives our sins.

Christ, the spotless lamb of God willingly gave His life and now is waiting for someone to give their heart to Him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and those who embrace Him as Lord, are transformed and prepared to be a vessel of honor. As our heavenly Father is preparing our home in heaven, as we live, love, and trust in Christ, the solid Rock of our salvation.

God created you as a unique, one -of-a-kind individual. There is not another person like you. He drew a blueprint for each person to follow and wants to intervene, inspire and empower us to accomplish His plans. It is not about our will, but His will be done. The question is who will do what He says and love Him for who He is? In this journey, you will have tribulations and trials, but do not be afraid because greater is He that lives in you, than he who lives in the world.

Our heavenly Father is in total control and has complete authority over all powers and principali-

ties. His angels are all around you and He never takes His eyes away from you.

Within our mission and calling, there are two great commandments above all others; love God, and love one another as ourselves.

If we choose to take up our cross and follow the Savior, we will live in the peace and joy of His presence. He is holy and desires that we have a clean heart so that we can walk closely with Him. Forgive those who have trespassed against you and sincerely pray for them as this will set you free. Holding on to resentment and hatred is a snare trap and will make our hearts hard and cold. Be humble, give your anxieties and fears to Jesus and He will give you rest. Demonstrate His light of forgiveness and compassion that you may dwell in the secret place of the Most High.

God knows our pain and sees every tear. You are His precious child. Trade your bitterness and sorrow for His joy that is unspeakable and filled with his glory. It is in loving and giving that you will find true contentment.

Offer up your fervent prayers and burdens for the souls that are lost and hurting. When you reach out to help those in need, you are reaching out to the Lord. Jesus is the Bread of Life and He is the living water. Those who come to Christ will never be spiritually hungry or thirsty again.

Always know that God’s promises cannot fail. Lean not on your own understanding but believe that your steps are ordered by the Lord. There are times the way will grow dark and will seem as though you are walking through the valley of death, but fear no evil. Remember, you are fighting in a war that has already been won. His word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. Run into the name of the Lord and rejoice that you are safe and secure. Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the Almighty God that considers you his highest treasure. He will never leave you or forsake you, he has engraved you on the palms of his hands.

Living with children Gold Star Mom censored by Big Tech

By Catharine Cypher Just days after learning about the death of her son, Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, Facebook disabled the Instagram account of Gold Star Mother Shana Chappell. Chappell took to Facebook to criticize President Biden for his disrespectful actions during the August 29th Dignified Transfer of Remains at Dover Air Force Base. Not long after posting to Facebook, Chappell began receiving Instagram notifications for posts from months prior, warning her that her account would be disabled if she continued posting similar content. Soon after that, her account was suspended for sharing what Instagram called “inappropriate or disrespectful content”.

At the time of Chappell’s suspension, the Taliban Spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, remained active and engaged on social media. To put this in perspective, as we near the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the very group that harbored the masterminds behind one of the most horrific attacks on American soil in the country’s history, was given a voice on social media over a Gold Star Mother.

After disabling her account, Facebook stated that the Instagram account had been removed in error and Chappell’s account had since been reinstated. This shows us that what someone says on one platform can cause a ripple effect across all social media accounts.

The overreach underscores the monopolistic power that Facebook has in the 21st century town square. Which brings us to wonder, how could such an “error” be made during one of the most deadly attacks of the Afghanistan war.

Social media companies’ standard of “acceptable” speech has never been more unclear than it is today, and the American government has been complicit in First Amendment violations by continuing to support Section 230 which allows tech companies to operate with zero accountability.

Censorship can affect every American from every political stripe. But one thing is clear, when it comes to conservative voices, and those who challenge liberal leaders or political correctness, the default seems to be censor first, review later. Why is that?

Questions need to be asked. Why would social media companies give a platform to a known terrorist organization that oppresses women, LGBTQ individuals, and other minority groups, when they suspended the account of a sitting United States President? Do Facebook and Instagram’s manmade “algorithms” perceive a grieving Gold Star mother and her opinions as more of a threat than a group of known killers who chant “death to America” in their streets?

The contrasting standards of speech judged by social media giants is truly stunning and, at times, incomprehensible. There is a First Amendment crisis in our Nation’s new town square and it’s these examples of unequal application of “terms of service” standards which led President Donald Trump to take on big tech and demand accountability on behalf of the American people.

The very existence of the First Amendment is to protect Americans’ speech, specifically those who are petitioning the government. Chappell’s son paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect these beloved freedoms, it’s now our job to ensure that these freedoms are upheld at home and this Gold Star mother can freely use her voice to express her opinions – even when they oppose those of the Commander in Chief.

If you have been censored by Big Tech, share your story at TakeOnBigTech.com.

It’s all over the web, that “grit” thing. Seems like every day, I get some promo for a webinar on how to get more grit, project John more grit, or get Rosemond in touch with your inner grit. So, allow me to enlighten the reader on how to help your child acquire grit.

First, what is grit? Grit is equal parts determination, tenacity, and emotional resilience, which is the ability to withstand setback and even failure. Grit is nothing new.

Marco Polo had it. Edmund Hillary had it. Navy Seals have it. I know that leaves lots of people out, but this is a newspaper column, not a history. You get the picture. Grit is hanging in there and getting the job done when failure is a looming possibility.

Grit is in short supply today, as I and many folks of my generation fear.

Grit is in short supply because it doesn’t fit the postmodern narrative, which is all about getting in touch with how special one is.

The current narrative is about getting in touch with one’s feelings and other human persons’ feelings as well (or at least attempting to carry off the pretense). For most of the last fifty years, we’ve tried raising emotionally intelligent children and it’s been a disaster. As a consequence of our collective good intentions, child mental health is in the toilet. Time for some good old retrochildrearing, I’d say, so here comes the fail-safe formula for endowing a child with grit: LET YOUR CHILD FAIL. Stop the enabling. Stop being your child’s personal reality buffer.

Stop trying to solve every problem that comes up in his life and let him do the lifting for a change.

Don’t even help him with his next science project. (OMG!) Let him experience what it’s like to live an authentic human life, one with its fair share of disappointment, loss, and failure. The best lessons in an authentic life are often the consequence of falling short of the mark.

STOP AUTHENTICATING EVERY FEELING THAT BUBBLES UP INSIDE YOUR CHILD. Stop talking to him about his every feeling and let him know, in no uncertain terms, that dwelling on feelings interferes with solving problems, which is what life is all about, every day of it.

DON’T ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO RECEIVE PARTICIPATION AND “GOOD SPORT” TROPHIES. Let him know that in the real world of everyday problems, which you are preparing him for, mere participation doesn’t get one an award. Awards are for merit, which is earned through setting yourself to a task and doing all you can to accomplish it.

INCORPORATE THE “THREE C’S OF COMPETENT CHILDREARING” INTO YOUR PARENTING PROGRAM. They are chores, courtesies, and compliance. Chores should come before after-school activities. Their benefits last a whole lot longer.

Courtesies are the means by which a child learns respect for others, which is vastly superior to high SELF-esteem. Lastly, the research finds what commonsense affirms: obedient children are a lot happier than disobedient children. Calmly insist upon calm compliance with your rules and expectations.

LET YOUR CHILD KNOW HE’S A SMALL FISH IN A BIG POND. Too many children today think they are the Biggest Fishes Ever. Keep in mind, always, that the best way to demonstrate respect for your child is to expect of your child. Set the bar reasonably high and don’t help him get over it. For more on that, go back and re-read LET YOUR CHILD FAIL. Family psychologist John Rosemond: johnrosemond.com, parent guru.com.

John Rosemond has worked with families, children, and parents since 1971 in the field of family psychology. In 1971, John earned his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University and was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

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.

Tuesday, September 2 Instagram Facebook, the mother of a soldier who died in Afghanistan, Shana Chappell, got angry at Joe Biden and wrote about it on Instagram and Facebook, for which the tech giant deleted her accounts. No disagreement with the regime in Big Tech is allowed.

Chappell then sent Biden an angry message to the White House, promising to come to the White House the day after her son's funeral and hold a protest demanding that Biden resign "and take his entire corrupt administration with him." *** British political commentator Neil Gardiner on Joe Biden's departure from Afghanistan: "We see the humiliation of a superpower - a monumental catastrophe." *** Trump in an interview with the OAN TV channel about the possibility of a repeat of the 9/11style terrorist attacks: "Under the current administration, this is inevitable." *** The Biden administration was criticized after an animal rights group said that American service dogs were abandoned in Afghanistan. *** According to two defense officials, the US military concluded a secret agreement with the Taliban, as a result of which members of the Taliban accompanied groups of Americans to the gates of the Kabul airport when they tried to escape from Afghanistan. *** 90 retired US generals and admirals are demanding that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley resign because of the unsuccessful withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. *** The counter-terrorism police of Pakistan reports that 11 militants of the Islamic State group were killed during a raid in the southwestern province of Baluchistan. *** Biden calls the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan an "outstanding success", while blaming Trump and others.

Then he finishes his speech and disappears without answering any questions from the press. *** Biden in today's address says: "My fellow Americans, the war in Afghanistan is over." Trump's press secretary responds: "Biden didn't end the war, he lost it." *** The CDC now officially states that Covid vaccines are less ef-

fective in preventing hospitalization. *** US truckers held a nationwide protest against mandatory vaccines: "On August 31, Tuesday, we ask everyone not to go to work… These trucks will officially stand up." *** In violation of the law, Wisconsin missed 82,000 absentee ballots in the 2020 elections. *** Fact checkers are fighting with netizens, defending Biden after he dozed off during a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, claiming that this is a "misleading video". *** Inflation in the United States is growing rapidly, Russia and Saudi Arabia are signing an agreement to end the influence of the "gasoline dollar", which puts the dollar itself and the economies of the countries at even greater risk. *** In North Korea, work is reportedly resuming at the Yongbyon nuclear reactor. It was closed in 2018 after pressure from Trump.

According to intelligence reports, reactivating the facility may allow their leader to expand the arsenal of nuclear weapons. *** Catastrophic damage in New Orleans, the water supply and sewerage system is damaged by Hurricane Ida. *** The Sri Lankan health system is on high alert due to the discovery of a new variant of Covid in South Africa. *** A Cook County judge who deprived a woman of custody of a child because she was not vaccinated against COVID-19 overturned this ruling on Monday. *** South African scientists have discovered a new variant of the coronavirus "C.1.2" with numerous mutations, but it has not yet been established whether it is more contagious or is able to overcome the immunity provided by vaccines or a previous infection.
