Jehling resigns as Bulldogs head coach and athletic director It’s editions like these that make it not fun to be a small town news editor. We have friends all over this town including those who spoke last Monday night to keep Howe’s head coach and those who spoke out for his removal.

Coach Jehling has been very good for the Howe Enterprise by always being available for interviews, coaches shows, and insights. Publishing wins and losses are tough when they are not flattering, but to do our job, we must tell the story. Under the wins and losses is a guy just trying to make a living doing what he wants to do. I consider Bill Jehling a friend—just as I consider Zack Hudson a friend and Joe Watson a friend.

Thanks goodness wins and losses aren’t attached to each of our publications. We’ve had 401 now and I’m quite sure I would be well under .500. But we’re just trying to make a living doing what we want to do.

Howe Bulldogs Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Bill Jehling.

On the Howe ISD Board of Trustees agenda last Monday was a closed session meeting regarding Athletic Director Bill Jehling who had one year remaining on his contract after a renewal last March. The board returned from closed session with no action, but to only adjourn the meeting.

On Friday, Jehling submitted his resignation to Howe ISD after four seasons of being the leader of a football program facing perhaps the most uphill battle of any program in the state.

Jehling began his Howe stint with three consecutive wins in 2018 against Ponder,

S&S, and Bells. But Howe went 3-34 from there on. He leaves with a career mark of 14-65.

Jehling, Howe’s 27th head coach in school history, had the deck stacked against him from the outset with Howe missing the Division II cutoff by six students for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

That put them in Division I among heavily populated high schools in each of his four seasons. Had the Bulldogs employed G.A. Moore, Nick Sabin, or Bill Parcells, Howe would have most likely not achieved a winning record with the daunting schedule. But

Jehling era ends

Howe Head Coach Bill Jehling addressed the team after his first game and first win on opening night 2018 against Ponder.

(Continued from page 1)

Howe was unable to secure one victory during the last two seasons and currently sits with a 22game losing streak as they search for the 28th head coach.

Defense has been the Achilles heel of the Dogs. Prior to the last two seasons, Howe’s most yards ever allowed per game on defense for a season was 365.10. In 2020, Howe allowed 436.67 and in 2021 allowed 463.90. But thanks to a hugely improved offense, Howe had the lead late in the game in four contests this season – Callisburg, Weatherford Christian, Rains, and Commerce. Each of those leads were snatched away late in the game.

Jehling’s hiring of Zach Cater as offensive coordinator prior to the 2021 season charged life and consistency into the offensive side of the ball which proved to be Howe’s only chance to even compete in certain games in the heavyhanded District 5-3A (I). Offensively, the Dogs nearly doubled their offensive output in yardage from 2020 even while having four sophomore offensive linemen and one freshman. The Bulldogs averaged 321.5 yards per game of offense this past season (9th alltime in school history) compared to 165.78 in 2020. But since 2018, Howe has only outgained their opponent seven times of the 40 games – all were wins with the exception of Commerce this season.

While Jehling’s mark in Howe is certainly not measured in the win column, it can be measured in perseverance and what he’s done to help turn young men into men.

He’s loaded up his team to attend two funerals of players moms.

He’s loaded up his team to support the band at competition.

He’s loaded up his team to go to Dallas to feed the homeless.

Those are victories that shine longer than a week downtown.

The next athletic director and head coach for Howe will inherit the opportunity to keep a young offensive mind in Cater who has proven to be a highly capable offensive coordinator. While Howe’s boys team sports have not made the playoffs in football, basketball, or baseball since before Jehling arrived, it doesn’t mean significant building blocks aren’t

already in place to lead those other sports. Along with Cater are Jay Forsythe, a veteran basketball coach who witnessed a fluke lastsecond desperation halfcourt shot keep him from taking the Dogs to the playoffs a year ago in his first season. He improved the team from 8-19 to 9-9 with an emphasis on defense. Jehling also hired Cody Nitson - an upcoming young head baseball coach who is just now beginning to build the baseball program. Howe has had significant turnover of coaches over the past several years and most coaches will agree that consistency is a key to a successful program.

Since Howe turned in a number of 349 students recently to the UIL, it appears as if the Dogs will be in a prime position to bump down to football’s Division II in Class 3A which will allow them to compete on a much more even basis with possible district mates such as Callisburg, Leonard, Blue Ridge, Bells, and S&S. Howe will return the school’s all-time leading passer in Austin Haley and most of his favorite weapons on offense along with virtually the entire offensive line. Defensively, the new coach will have a lot of work to do.

At Monday’s board meeting, members of the community spoke for keeping Jehling as the athletic director and head coach, while others spoke against the coach who was hired in March of 2018.

Billie Ingram spoke first and said he doesn’t have a lot of interaction with Jehling from a high school standpoint due to his son being in middle school, but as a youth coach in Howe, he said Jehling has been phenomenal for the youth sports and giving them access to the school’s facilities.

“If and when the decision is made to separate from Coach J, that’s your decision. If you do, please make sure the next one has in mind youth sports,” said Ingram.

Becky Brussow once went to the school board with heavy complaint about Jehling in 2018 over a vaping incident.

“Since that time, I’ve had quite a change of heart and I can tell you that I stand behind Coach J onehundred percent,” said Brussow

The Howe Lady Bulldogs improved to 2-1 on Tuesday with a 50-36 win over Lindsay at home.

Trinity Williams led Howe with 19 points including three 3pointers. Landery Sanders added nine points while Emery Snapp netted eight points and Kendall Griffin put down seven. Other scorers were Teagan Stubblefield (3), Matalee Stewart (2), and Reese Smith (2).

The girls entered the Bells Tournament over the weekend and beat Sulphur Springs 37-33 to capture their third win on the season and win number 454 in Head Coach Derek Lands’ career. Williams again led Howe in points with 15 and in rebounds. She was followed by Sanders (7), Griffin (6), Stewart (5), Emery Snapp (2), and Riley Burris (1).

Their second loss of the season was at the hands of North Lamar by 57-28 score. Williams was Howe’s leading scorer with nine points with Stubblefield contributing five. Other scorers were

Griffin (4), Avery Snapp (4), Sanders (3), Stewart (2), and Burris (1).

The girls stand with a 3-3 record after their first six games with a 38-26 loss to Aubrey in the tournament. Stubblefield, Griffin, and Emory Snapp led Howe scorers with six points each. The Lady Bulldogs found themselves trailing 5-2 in a defensive battle after the first period. But Aubrey flexed their muscles in the second and outscored Howe 16-9 to enter the locker room with a 10-point lead.

Aubrey kept the pedal down in the third period with a 15-6 run which eliminated Howe’s chance of a comeback. The final stanza was on by Howe, 6-5.

Other scorers for the Lady Bulldogs were Sanders (2), Presley Shockey (2), Stewart (2), Williams (1), and Smith (1).

Howe will travel to Whitesboro Tuesday.

Jehling has done,” said Simmons.

whose son Hunter was persuaded to try out for football by Jehling and had an amazing story of making all-district his senior year after not playing football previously. “Coach J had such a positive impact on my child and brought out the best in him,”

Jodi Hough read her remarks to the board which stated that she felt as if the morale, consistency, and discipline has reached a low for the team.

Jared Brussow, younger brother of Hunter and a player on this year’s team, spoke up in favor of Jehling also and stated that he thinks he has proven to be a leader on and off the field.

“He has tried everything in the book that he can, and the outcome may not show it, but it shows in practice, and it shows in his heart for the game of football. He put in things that may or may not work, but we got together and figured out what to do,” said Brussow.

Coach Steve Simmons gave a talk in favor of Jehling, but first mentioned that he put his trust in the seven members of the school board and the 20-plus year veteran of Howe ISD, Superintendent Kevin Wilson.

“The last four years, we’ve had a schedule in football that’s been like New Mexico State playing Alabama. Facing this competition year after year after year, I think there’s very few men that would have stuck with this program for four years in the face of overwhelming competition like Coach

Her husband Rodney Hough also spoke and admitted the schedule was not favorable but stated that Howe should be more competitive.

Not everything is or should be measured in the win column. But it is a factual statement, whether it’s right or not, the image of a city and school in Texas is largely based on the success of its Friday nights in the fall. For bewildered fans, Jehling is not the only direction to point the finger. The Bulldogs have not had a winning record in any decade since the 1990s.

As of now, they are 0-20 in this decade. Of the last 10 Howe head coaches since Jim Fryar left after 1989, only three have had winning records (Davey DuBose, Cory Crane, and Zack Hudson).

Howe’s next coach will look to reverse all of those trends. If the Dogs go down to Division II, the school shouldn’t need to interview G.A. Moore, Nick Sabin, or Bill Parcells to get them through the schedule. It’s all of a sudden a great job with perks of turf.

Howe ISD has a few months to hire the most capable candidate to right the ship quickly with a 2year window that can make noise past week 10.

Local homeschool team takes first place at robotics competition

Texas Instruments (Continued from page 1)

Production from the first new fab is expected as early as 2025. With the option to include up to four fabs, total investment potential at the site could reach approximately $30 billion and support 3,000 direct jobs over time.

The new fabs will complement TI’s existing 300-mm fabs which include DMOS6 (Dallas, Texas), RFAB1 and the soon-to-becompleted RFAB2 (both in Richardson, Texas), which is expected to start production in the second half of 2022. Additionally, LFAB (Lehi, Utah), which TI recently acquired, is expected to begin production in early 2023.

Texoma Home Educators, a local homeschool team, took first place in the BEST Robotics competition in Trenton on Oct 29-30.

Bulldogs get Friday night win The Howe Bulldogs kicked off their season by taking on a much bigger school in 4A Celina. The result was what one might think as the Bobcats took home a 47-27 win.

Howe played the opener without All-Texomaland 3-year starter junior point guard Austin Haley and big man Zac Defrange. The Dogs were led by sophomore guard Jacob Campbell with 14 points—eight of which came in the second half. Other scorers were Cooper Jones (4), Ethan Lopez (4), Luke Lopez (3), and Eli Wilson (2).

Howe hung tough in the first period only trailing Celina, 12-8. But Howe was outscored 13-5 in the second and 17-8 in the third.

On Friday night, a Howe boys varsity team sport leaped into the win column for first time this school year with a drubbing of the S&S Rams. Point guard Haley returned to action and immediately made his presence known with a 3-pointer in the first quarter. He finished the night with 11 points.

Howe was led again by Campbell who dropped 17 in on the Rams with seven of those points coming from the line.

It was not a contest at any point as Howe led S&S 19-7 after the first period and 39-10 at the half.

Howe Head Coach Jay Forsythe clowns around with photographer Michelle Carney during Friday night’s game.

The Dogs continued to push the ball in the third period and took a 55-18 lead into the fourth period.

The Rams scored 12 points in the fourth quarter as Howe let off the gas for the 60-33 win.

Howe also had scoring contributors from Luke Lopez (14), Jones (9), Defrange (6), Wilson (2), and Taylor (1).

Howe moves to 1-1 on the season and will host Pilot Point Tuesday.

The quint has been around since the early 20th century. In fact, the first patent for a quintuple combination pumper date back to 1912.

But today’s quints are much more stable, maneuverable and capable than their early counterparts, due in part to a single rear axle configuration, longer reach and a higher-powered engine.

Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson reported the Board of Trustees Monday that the enrollment at the end of October was 1,246 students which was up one from September. He said the average daily attendance had improved dramatically up to 1,168 which is an improvement of 27 students.

He accepted three resignations since last month including Paulie Stephens who has been with the district for over 30 years. He also accepted the resignation of Leann McDonald—a classroom aide, and Vickie Reynolds of food service.

He reviewed the Grayson County COVID numbers which were 58 cases compared to over 500 in September. In the district, as of last Monday, the ISD had one positive case.

“Holidays are always a concern and hopefully we will make it through it without any major hiccups,” said Wilson.

Wilson read a thank you card for the COVID stipends recently given to staff members. The card was from fifth grade teacher Dawna Snell which stated she

Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson had never been a part of a more generous and supportive school district. It went on to read that she loves it here and are proud to call her and her family Bulldogs.

“I probably had 40 to 50 emails from staff thanking me and you for that stipend and another fifth grade teacher provided dessert tonight,” said Wilson. “I can tell you, it’s geatly appreciated and very well deserved and I appreciate you doing that.”

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra highspeed 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 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.

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 In the late 1970s and through the 1980s, millions of people would tune in weekly to watch Dallas, a night-time soap opera about Ken Bridges the tawdry scandals and business dealings of a Texas oil family. At the same time, a family of Texas oil barons transplanted from Arkansas was involved in schemes even more bizarre than those created for television. And among them was Nelson Bunker Hunt.

The patriarch of the Hunt Family was the legendary H. L. Hunt, born in Illinois in 1889. The elder Hunt had settled in the Chicot County area by 1910 and began a cotton plantation. By the 1920s, facing ruin from a series of floods, Hunt gambled his last dollars and ended up winning a fortune in a series of poker games that included a stake in the booming oil fields of El Dorado. In El Dorado, the Hunt fortune would begin as millions of dollars of oil flowed across Union County. He had seven children with wife Lyda Bunker of Lake Village, but carried on torrid affairs with at least two other women, having eight children with them.

Nelson Bunker Hunt was born in El Dorado in 1926 at the height of the South Arkansas Oil Boom.

The family soon moved to East Texas as H. L. Hunt bought the rights to the massive oil fields discovered there in the early 1930s, making them one of the

richest families in the world. Afterward, they permanently settled in Dallas where the elder Hunt became a prominent member of First Baptist Church.

The younger Hunt became known for strange ideas and behavior as well as his own business success.

In 1938, on a family trip to London, Bunker Hunt walked all through the city on his own late into the night. In the 1940s, he dropped out of the University of Texas, reportedly angry over one professor’s lecture.

He traveled coach class on airplanes but spent lavishly on horses and farms around the world.

After a falling-out with his father, he went into business for himself in the 1950s. By the 1960s, Bunker Hunt had struck oil in Libya, making tens of millions of dollars. However, in 1973, a jealous Moammar Gadaffi, who had seized power a few years before, seized control of the oil in Libya, permanently cutting Hunt off.

By the 1970s, he and younger brother William Hunt came upon a scheme to corner the silver market, steadily buying up more and more. They bought silver at $1.50 per ounce in the 1970s, which grew to $50 per ounce by January 1980. This meant $4.5 billion for the Hunts. Regulators quickly jumped in to limit the purchases, sending prices lower. Margin calls and price drops devastated the two, costing $2.7 billion in one week in March 1981, while silver dropped to $10.80 per ounce on March 27.

“I was trying to make money,” Bunker Hunt glumly explained.

However, others close to him noted that Hunt believed the world economy was about to collapse and money would become worthless. Numerous lawsuits would be filed against the two, and numerous federal investigations followed. As a result of the silver ploy, he was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1988, the largest personal bankruptcy in history up to that time.

Bunker Hunt would slowly recover from bankruptcy, but he spent his later years concentrating on horse racing and breeding. His health steadily declined, and the one-time oil giant died quietly in a Dallas nursing home at age 88 in 2014, having lived a life where

Nelson Bunker Hunt truth was, certainly and frequently, stranger than fiction.

Land of the free and home of the brave As a chaplain for a Veterans health care facility and an honor guard that recognizes military personnel, I’m devoted to respecting those who Dr. Billy were willing Holland to give their lives for our freedom and it’s truly a privilege to spend quality time with the many fine men and women of our nation’s armed forces. In this month of remembrance, I believe it’s important to not only record and preserve their amazing accomplishments in battle but to also appreciate who they are as individuals. I remember visiting a man named Edward Hicks who willingly stepped forward when his country needed him the most. He was only 22years-old and had just married his lovely bride, Mary Lou, four months earlier. He received the call to join the front-line and bravely responded to what would be known around the world as “Operation Overlord.”

In 1918, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, a ceasefire was declared as the signing of the Armistice ended World War One. A year later, President Wilson declared Armistice Day as the soldiers who survived marched in hometown parades. In 1938 Armistice Day became a national holiday and then in 1971 under president Nixon it was established as Veterans Day, honoring all veterans. Though I did not serve in the military, I’m very proud of my son, who is a marine and served with the Department of Homeland Security. He is now a police officer at a Veterans Hospital. Neither my father nor my grandfather served but on my mother’s side of the family, it’s quite a different story.

My maternal grandfather Alvin fought in WWI and was in France. He was injured in the war and according to my mother; he was never the same. They had seven children, three boys, and four girls, and my mother was the baby. Like many families, all three sons eventually enlisted into the military. However, I thought it was even more unique how my grandfather and each of my uncles served in a different war. The father was in World War I, his

15

November 22, 2021

oldest son, was in Japan during WWII, the second son was killed in Korea in 1950, and the youngest son served in the Vietnam era.

I vaguely remember two of these uncles and now realize they both suffered terribly from PTSD. My mom was very close to her brother who died in Korea. His nickname was Kenny and after he graduated High School, he worked a little part-time job before he was drafted. She remembers that he would give her ten cents every Saturday to buy some candy, which she looked forward to. He would also buy his mother flowers every week and she would set them on the kitchen table. My mom recalls the terrible day when military representatives knocked on their door and told her mother that they were sorry to inform her that her son had been killed. He was only 20-years-old.

Her mother ran through the house wailing and screaming, “No God, please no.” Everyone was devastated as her mother went to bed and stayed there for weeks.

The 24-note melancholy bugle call known as “Taps” is played at military funerals and memorial services to accompany the lowering of the flag and to signal the lights out command at day’s end.

Here is a portion of the lyrics, “Day is done, gone the sun, from the lake, from the hill, from the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Put out the lights, go to sleep, go to sleep.” We live only a few miles from Camp Nelson National Cemetery and from the highway you can see rows of the over twelve thousand perfectly lined white marble tombstones.

When I drive past this sacred ground, I think how each of these individuals at one time or another accepted the call of duty. And what is that call? To fight against human injustice and the evil governments and philosophies of tyrannical dictators. Patrick Henry is quoted as saying, “I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” The heart’s cry of a soldier is to defend and protect our freedom whatever the cost.

Howard Osterkamp is quoted as saying, “All gave some – but some gave all” as we will never forget not only those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice but especially for the ones who did.

Howe man thanks Living with children HFD for saving his life John Rosemond

Left to right: Firefighter Perez, Paz Kohavi, and Training Officer/ Paramedic Reed. Courtesy photo.

Back on September 7, Howe Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle versus pedestrian call.

Paz Kohavi’s truck rolled back and pinned him against a outdoor shed. He was in serious condition and was flown to a Dallas area hospital and stayed there for a

month.

He recently brought homemade chili to the fire station as a thank you for saving his life. The gesture took place on his first day walking without a walker after the incident.

“I feel your pain” passes as a virtue, but it is anything but.

However wellintentioned, it is the gist of codependency.

When someone else is in a state of emotional pain, it is one thing to empathize, understand, have compassion, offer to give support, and render practical assistance. It is quite another to feel the person’s pain. In that event, the person feeling the other’s pain becomes inclined toward attempting to solve that person’s problem. Why? Because it is now his problem as well, and equally so. That attempt is known as “enabling.”

In short order, the enablee becomes dependent upon the enabler’s assistance, and the enabler becomes dependent upon the illusion that he is self-sacrificing, and down the road of mutually assured destruction they waltz.

They both need one another, one to confirm his helplessness and victimhood and the other to confirm his heroism, his moral superiority.

“I feel your pain, tra, la, la” seems to be the theme song of contemporary “parenting.” I put the word in quotes to distinguish that peculiar post-1960s pathology from mere childrearing. The prepsychological form was “mere” because it did not, in and of itself, give rise to such aberrations as parents who felt their children’s pain and thus the obligation to solve their every problem. Consequential to being burdened (or so we sometimes thought) with noncodependent parents, we boomers were forced to develop the armor of emotional resilience, which translated to much better child mental health than has been the case since. Much, much, much.

When I complained to my parents that one of my fifth-grade teachers did not like me, they told me, in no uncertain terms, that her dislike of me best not be reflected on

my next report card.

“Besides,” said my mother, “it is high time you learned how to deal with people who don’t like you, making sure they have no reason to do so.”

Where, these days, is the parent who talks this way to a child, who refuses to affirm in any way, shape, or form, the child’s claim to victimhood? My mother, I thought, was a cold-heart who took sadistic pleasure in standing by as I went under for the third time. What did I know? The sign of proper parenting is not a child’s affirmation. A working definition of “child” is “one who is ignorant of what is in his best interest.”

Far more often than not, he more vehemently a child objects to a parental decision, the more said decision reflects the child’s best interest. That is why the best response to a child’s declaration of hate for said parent is, “If I were you, believe me, I’d hate me right now too! Do you feel the need to share any other earth-shaking news with me? If so, I’ll stick around for as long as you’d like. I want you to feel, after all, that you have freedom to speak your mind around here.”

That is not the language of feeling a child’s pain. It is the language of informing a child that his feelings do not define reality in the family, that life is full of problems, that problems are always painful, and that the earlier he comes to grips with the foregoing, the better for him for a long time to come.

A love that isn’t tough is always to be regarded skeptically.

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.

Today is the anniversary of the tragic day in Dallas that took the life of the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy. That day changed the world and was the most gruesome and violent act for evil to stake full grips on America. ***** It is tiresome to hear the bantering back and forth of Republicans and Democrats.

People need to understand that the Bush and Romney Republicans are just as much criminals as the Clinton and Obama Democrats. There’s no need to cheer for organized crime on either side of the isle. ***** With all the talk around DC, one would think Kamala Harris’ VP term might be coming to a premature end. A shuffling of the deck is hinted to be coming. It reminds me of a random tweet by Donna Brazile on Jan 18, 2019, which suggested Nancy Pelosi would be president just before MLK weekend. ***** The FDA has asked a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer’s vaccine.

Jury acquits Rittenhouse on all charges Just The News— A Wisconsin jury on Friday acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse on all charges in his murder trial.

Rittenhouse was found not guilty on five charges after several days of jury deliberation.

The 18-year-old Rittenhouse became visibly emotional when the jurors' acquittal was read, shaking.

Rittenhouse faced murder and other charges in the fatal shooting of two men and the wounding of another during a chaotic night on social justice protests on Aug. 25, 2020.

Prosecutors claimed in closing arguments Monday that Rittenhouse, 17 at the time of the shootings, was a "wannabe soldier" who provoked bloodshed by bringing a

semi-automatic rifle to the night of protests and rioting, amid the summer of social justice demonstrations.

Rittenhouse's lawyer said his client acted in self-defense after being ambushed by a "crazy person" who he feared would wrest away his gun and use it to kill him, according to the Associated Press.

The verdict came after two weeks of testimony including the defendant's.

Eighteen jurors hearing the case. The 12 who will decided Rittenhouse’s fate and the six who were designated alternates were determined by a drawing from a raffle drum, the wire service also reports.

Rittenhouse said he went to Kenosha from his home in Illinois, to protect property from rioters.

Election data and equipment destroyed in Pennsylvania An informant from Delaware County, Pennsylvania, published video evidence of the destruction of electoral data and equipment by officials in the 2020 presidential election.

even "criminal", but still decided to destroy the election evidence.

In one of the videos James Allen, the director of elections, is in the back room and asks officials to destroy evidence, realizing that this is a

VAERS COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports

According to a new analysis, Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna make a combined profit of $93.5 million per day.

That's $65,000 per minute and $1,000 per second.

Companies have sold the vast majority of their doses to rich countries, leaving low -income countries in the lurch, said the People's Vaccine Alliance (PVA), a coalition advocating for greater access to COVID vaccines.

The Alliance estimates that the trio will make a pre-tax profit of $34 billion this year. ***** President Donald Trump met with Mike Lindell recently and discussed the 2020 elections, as well as the further actions of the Republicans. Here are a few comments Trump made during the discussion: ▪️They (the big media) have one topic they don't want to talk about - the 2020 election scam.

▪️Many believed that we would not have a country in three years.

This guy (Biden) did it in nine months. He destroyed our country.

You know, I say "Make America great again." That was my theme. I gave it a lot of effort. America is not the best right now.

America is a laughing stock for the whole world.

▪️At first I thought they were incompetent, but now I understand that they want (the southern border) to be open.

▪️See what kind of money they earn.

They are full-time politicians. Pelosi and all these people, Waters, Obama. I expected to lose a lot of money. I've lost millions. I was ready for this and I'm fine.

These people enrich themselves by being in power.

▪️I don't think this is a 50/50 country. When you have things like a voter ID card, refusal of the police, opening borders, shelters in cities, everything they have. I don't believe that 50 percent of people vote for them. I think they cheat elections and do other things, and this brings them to this 50 per-

cent. But they can't have 50 percent with such a policy. ***** The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating "questionable vials" labeled "smallpox" at a Merck laboratory near Philadelphia.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, fifteen vials were found in the freezer.

Smallpox is extremely deadly (the mortality rate is 30 percent), so only two laboratories in the world - the CDC in Atlanta and one in Russia - store samples of the virus.

In 1980, the World Health Assembly declared the eradication of smallpox.

Is it a coincidence that a monkey pox infection was confirmed on Tuesday in a Maryland resident who recently visited Nigeria? Now he is isolated, and specialists are studying the people with whom he was in contact. ***** Judge Bruce Schroeder in the Rittenhouse

Durham’s investigation into the TrumpRussia probe further discredited the already -shaky dossier when Russian national Igor Danchenko, who is believed to be a subsource for the dossier, was indicted. ***** Dr. Anthony Fauci: "We hope, and this is something that we study very carefully, that a third injection with mRNA will not only increase your height, but also increase longevity, so you won't necessarily need it every six months or a year. We hope that this will increase the duration of the drug. If that doesn't happen, and the data shows that we really need to do it more often, then we will do it." ***** "We don't know how the immune system will react to such an increase. Why? Because the vaccine developers didn't study it,” Dr. Paul Alexander of the Brownstone Institute. "If you say these vaccines are safe for my children if you support them... remove the liability protection for vaccine developers. Then we'll talk about vaccinating children." ***** Dr. Joel Wallskog is an orthopedic surgeon from Wisconsin who saw 5,000 patients a year and performed about 800 operations before taking the experimental Moderna vaccine from Covid19. Now he suffers from transverse myelitis, which affects the spinal cord, and it is difficult for him to walk. He can no longer work as an orthopedic surgeon. His 19year career, which took him 14 years of study, is over.

Another video shows Tom Gallagher, a Delaware County lawyer, destroying election records.

Newsmax: "Delaware County was the last county in the state to fully report its ballots for the 2020 election, and several races could have been flipped by several thousand votes.

The lawsuit alleges that the voting machine destroyed thousands of absentee ballots and mail-in ballots, and the data confirms that they were intentionally deleted.

Several videos have been released as part of an attempt to con-

firm all of the above.

In the first published video, Tom Gallagher, a Delaware County attorney, throws ballot papers into the trash while waiting for an audit of election data.

"At this point, I don't want anyone picking this up and thinking we threw them away," Gallagher says in the video. "We're going to make a bonfire."

The second video shows a conversation between an informant and a man named "Ziggy".

"Let's put it this way...

Yes, the cassettes are tossed," says Ziggy. "But they are not of audit value."

A third video was also released showing a conversation between two men named Jim Savage and James Allen."

Savage election fraud lawsuit filed against Delaware County, PA and former SOS Kathy Boockvar 7th Circuit law clerk Professor Margot Cleveland shared several shocking videos documenting premeditated, felony election evidence destruction in Delaware County, PA. Last night a lawsuit was filed against county election officials and former Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar. The suit begins: “Defendants intentionally and fraudulently conspired to destroy, delete, secrete, and hide November 3, 2020, election data, materials, and equipment to prevent discovery of election fraud and election law violations in Delaware County, which the Defendants also conspired to commit and did commit while carrying out the November 3, 2020, election…

Moreover, when a May 21, 2021 Right to Know (RTK) request for election in-

formation and data was made with respect to information that is by federal and state law to be kept and preserved, the Defendants fraudulently and intentionally deleted, changed, adulterated, manipulated and/or obscured the information, data, and materials produced in response to the RTK request in order to hide their fraud and election code violations because they knew that they could not reconcile the previously fraudulently reported November 3, 2020 election results with the actual responsive information that they had in their possession and which they were required to preserve and produce in response to the Right to Know request.

Plaintiffs know this to be the case and can document this and demonstrate this by showing, among other things, that November 3, 2020 election, data materials, and equip-

"The matter is under further investigation.

This is a very serious matter,” said Judge Schroeder. ***** Master trolling alert: FL Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference in Brandon, FL at Brandon Honda. ***** Bill Gates says that the death rate and infection from Covid-19 could "fall below the level of seasonal flu" by mid-2022, provided that "some unexpected option does not appear." ***** Mint Press News— Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.

Recipients of this cash include many of America’s most important news outlets, including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS and The Atlantic. Gates also sponsors a myriad of influential foreign organizations, including the BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph in the Unit-

The lawsuit further alleges that the fraud was outcome-altering: “61. It appears Delaware County was the last county to submit its presidential vote total in the state potentially changing November 3, 2020 elec-

ed Kingdom; prominent European newspapers such as Le Monde (France), Der Spiegel (Germany) and El País (Spain); as well as big global broadcasters like AlJazeera.

Together, these donations total $166,216,526. The money is generally directed towards issues close to the Gateses hearts. For example, the $3.6 million CNN grant went towards “report[ing] on gender equality with a particular focus on least developed countries, producing journalism on the everyday inequalities endured by women and girls across the world,” while the Texas Tribune received millions to “to increase public awareness and engagement of education reform issues in Texas.” Given that Bill is one of the charter schools’ most fervent supporters, a cynic might interpret this as planting pro-corporate charter school propaganda into the media, disguised as objective news reporting.

Despite flying more under the radar, Gates and his companies have amassed considerable influence in media. We already rely on Microsoftowned products for communication (e.g.

Skype, Hotmail), so-

Furthermore, the hardware and software we use to communicate often comes courtesy of the 66year-old Seattleite.

How many people reading this are doing so on a Microsoft Surface or Windows phone and doing so via Windows OS? Not only that, Microsoft owns stakes in media giants such as Comcast and AT& T. And the “MS” in MSNBC stands for Microsoft. ***** New Mexico Governor Says Fully changes the definition of “fully vaccinated” which now means three doses. ***** The Voice of America’s Pentagon correspondent reported that: “Defense official reportedly says, if the Oklahoma National Guard doesn’t comply with COVID vaccine requirements, they will no longer be ‘maintaining national recognition,’ thus, state will no longer have a Nat[ional] Guard, but rather a militia.” ***** The Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has suspended the enforcement of the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses.
