Bulldogs win 5-straight, send fans into frenzy with two overtime wins

Lots of things were rescheduled and stores were closed parts of last week. We’ve had a lot of practice at that over the last couple of years. It was nice to see that there wasn’t a run on toilet paper before the ice storm. ***** Football realignment rolled around and the Twitter world almost broke in the Lone Star State on Thursday morning. ***** Six more weeks of winter, according to Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous weather-prognosticating groundhog. One more day and P.P. would have met snow. But I’m sure than happened somewhere in town anyway. ***** GoFundMe has frozen $9 million in donations for the peaceful Canada trucker’s freedom campaign. Mainstream media has made the Canadian Revolution seem hateful and violent, but people have been streaming it live. ***** Say hello to Guns N More, the newest advertiser below. They have a new storefront also.

The Howe Bulldogs (128, 7-4) have found themselves on the doorstep of their first playoff berth since the 2017-18 season. But this not only includes basketball, but the playoff drought has touched every boys team sport since that season.

Back-to-back overtime wins against Gunter and Blue Ridge have set them up for their final three games with district leaders Bells and Leonard and a regular season finale with Whitewright.

Two losses could send Howe into a mathematical quandary depending on the results of upcoming games of Gunter, Blue Ridge, and Pottsboro.

UILrealignment has Bulldogs football fans confident of turnaround Howe ISD turned in an enrollment number of 349 to the University Interscholastic League (UIL) back in October which turned out to be just barely enough to keep them out of 3A Division I in football again and most likely into the same scenario as before with long traveling games with much larger schools who take football seriously. The move down to 3A Division II was a monumental for Bulldog fans, but most importantly the players in the football program.

Howe will no longer

have the dubious honor of being the opposing team’s homecoming each week. Coming off an 0-10 record for the second straight year, opposing teams might still be tempted to place that designation, however, when they look under the hood of the Bulldogs

(Continued on page 4)

Howe ISD made the call Wednesday to cancel school for Thursday knowing that bad weather was heading into North Texas. The City of Howe followed suit by closing City Hall and the EDC/Chamber office. As snow fell most of the day on Thursday, the roads became hazardous which called for the ISD and city to make

the announcement to close on Friday also.

Some businesses remained open while others were closed.

The temperatures were nowhere near the historic sub-zero freeze of a year ago. On Thursday, an unofficial readout of 24 degrees was captured on the Howe High School marquee sign on High-

way 5. On Friday, it warmed up a bit to 31 degrees midday, however, the roads were still unsafe. Howe’s basketball games with Blue Ridge which were scheduled for Friday night were moved to Saturday afternoon.

Many lessons were learned from a year ago

Lady Bulldogs celebrate seniors in Saturday afternoon game

The Lady Bulldogs had a beautiful moment at tip-off Saturday afternoon at Howe High School as injured seniors Trinity Williams and Avery Snapp were able to suit up on the court one final time. Landery Sanders controlled the tip which went to Snapp who tossed it to Williams and a timeout was called as the tears began to flow for the two who missed most of their senior year.

After the game, which was moved to Saturday due to the ice storm, the Lady Bulldogs celebrated “Senior Night” with their families.

Howe vs. Gunter Howe vs. Blue Ridge Senior Day Howe will finish out the season Tuesday at Bells. Head Coach Derek Lands currently has 460 career wins.

Howe (9-22, 3-10) lost at Gunter on Tuesday night, 67-15, but nearly took the victory on Saturday from Blue Ridge in a 56-54 nail-biter. The Lady Bulldogs led by as much as 16 against Blue Ridge but couldn’t hold on to the lead as the Lady Tigers busted through with a huge third period.

Re-alignment

Home and away and the order of district games have yet to be determined.

(Continued from page 1)

returning starters and organizational overhaul, they might want to try and find someone else.

Howe was placed in District 8 along with Bells, Blue Ridge, Gunter, Leonard, and Lone Oak. The six team district is already an advantage over the alignment two years ago which placed them with Mineola, Mount Vernon, Winnsboro, Rains, Commerce, Bonham, and Pottsboro. That district remained intact with Howe moving out being the only change.

But everything about the previous two year death sentence from the UIL is in the rear view mirror. Brand new LED lighting upgrades have already been installed in the victory light box awaiting September and that glorious moment when Howe’s new Head Coach Lance Bryan will press the button on the iPhone which signals his first ever career win which breaks a 2-year losing streak.

Bryan announced through the Howe Enterprise Thursday that the nondistrict schedule would include opening night at Honey Grove and the home opener the following week versus Tom Bean. Howe will then host Commerce and Tioga before traveling to S&S to finish out the non-district schedule.

For the first time in 53 years, Howe will not have either Pottsboro or Van Alstyne on the schedule. Also, the matchup with Tioga will mark the first in 74 years when Howe last met Tioga in 1948. Howe’s first ever UIL football game was played at Tioga against the Bulldogs which saw Howe lose 12-0.

However, the Bulldogs of Howe won the next 11-straight which the streak still stands. The Howe players famously traveled to Tioga on the back of a flat-bed truck to the first ever game.

Howe also hasn’t played Leonard

since the 2015 mud bowl where the Dogs clinched the district championship that evening. Howe also hasn’t played Honey Grove since 2011 when they were drummed 55-14 at Warrior Stadium. Howe hasn’t defeated the Warriors since 1997.

Heading into last season, Howe’s record against 2021 opponents was a paltry 27-43-2 with Callisburg being the only team the Bulldogs had a series winning record against (editor’s note—Bells game was removed from the schedule due to COVID). Heading into 2022, the Bulldogs hold a series record advantage over opponents of 142-80. The Bulldogs since 1935 have an overall losing record to Honey Grove (3-7), Commerce (1-5), Leonard (11-16), and Lone Oak (3-4).

Howe has a winning record against Tom Bean (30-10), Tioga (11-1), S&S (25-10), Blue Ridge (5-3), Bells (3510), and Gunter (18-14).

Looking at streaks, Honey Grove has won 6-straight over Howe, Howe has won 3-straight over Tom Bean, Commerce has won 4-straight over Howe, Howe has won 11-straight over Tioga, Howe has won 4-straight over S&S, Howe has won 3-straight over Blue Ridge, Bells has won 2-straight over Howe, and Gunter has won 2-straight over Howe.

For the playoffs, Howe’s District 8 would be paired with District 7 which includes Arlington Trinity Leadership, Blooming Grove, Cedar Hill Newman, Mildred, Palmer, Rice, and Scurry-Rosser.

The non-football districts will virtually remain the same for basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and track.

Howe will again be in District 11 with Bells, Blue Ridge, Bonham, Gunter, Leonard, and Pottsboro. The only change was the subtraction of Whitewright who moved down in classification to 2A.

Howe vs. Gunter (Continued from page 1)

Even before Austin Haley had one class at Howe High School, he was already being dubbed, “The Jedi” as the then-freshman was named the starting quarterback for the varsity football team during two-a-days in 2019. He also was a freshman varsity starter in basketball and baseball that year. Tuesday night in Gunter, the lightsaber made a significant appearance again as his shot kept playoff hopes alive for the Dogs.

The Howe Bulldogs use their stymying defense to suffocate opponents into submission. But Gunter Head Coach Seth Vansell took a play from Howe Coach Jay Forsythe’s playbook as the Tigers used their quick feet to shut down the Howe guard game which carries their offense. The Tigers forced someone else to step up as they locked down scoring leader Jacob Campbell and second leading scorer Haley. That step up came from Eli Wilson who had perhaps the greatest impact of the game—even more so than the 3-bomb from Haley to win it. Without the hustling plays from Wilson, there would likely have been no opportunity for a lightsaber to be dawned at the final moment.

Howe never had the lead in regulation and took their first advantage at the 1:41 mark in overtime on a Haley layup to make it 30-28. But with 0:15 seconds left; Gunter’s Kenny Buckholder put home an uncontested lefthanded layup to tie the game at 30-30.

bell took the inbound pass from Luke Lopez and dribbled across the line with 7.9 left. He drove the bucket on the left side of the lane and made a quick pass underneath to Zak Defrange who had it knocked away from him. The loose ball was picked up by Wilson who dished it to Haley for the jedi moment that erupted the gymnasium on Preston Road.

Neither team could penetrate the lane in the halfcourt game, and the first points of the game came with only 3:12 left in the first when Kaiden Pines hit the first of his four 3-pointers.

Howe quickly answered right back, however, with a 3-point play by Campbell was fouled on the successful layup. Howe trailed 11-5 at the conclusion of the first period.

Right out of the shoot, Pines continued

They included turning off all irrigation and sprinklers, disconnecting and drain hoses and cover outdoor faucets with insulators, covering outdoor plants, dripping indoor faucets, and opening cabinets with pipes to let heat in. They also reminded those to please bring pets indoors.

By Friday, major roads were clearing and by Saturday major roads were in good shape with only lightly traveled roads still showing ice. As of Sunday, most all roads were fully cleared.

Shelley Luther to host meet and greet at Palio’s Pizza in Howe The famed salon owner who was arrested for opening her business during the COVID lockdown in May 2020 will host a meet and greet in Howe at Palio’s Pizza Café on Feb. 17 at 7 pm.

She is seeking to become the Texas House 62 Representative which spans Grayson, Fannin, Franklin, and Delta Counties.

a

Luther, a Republican, gained notoriety around the country in May 2020 when she was confined in a penal facility for opening her small business hair salon in Dallas after Texas Governor Greg Abbott required “nonessential” businesses close all of April 2020 as the pandemic spread throughout the state.

"People cannot take it upon themselves to determine what they will and will not do," Abbott said.

Shelley Luther

Perhaps that statement against “We the People” is what fueled Luther to begin her involvement in state politics. Almost immediately, she faced off with Drew Springer for the Texas State District 30 seat and found herself in a special run-off election in December last year where Springer won eventually.

But in Grayson County, she won by nearly seven points.

Her opponent is incumbent Reggie Smith who has held that seat since he won the election in 2018.

Luther says that she feels God has given her this platform and is now wants

to fulfill that obligation.

At the meet and greet at Palio’s, Luther’s event page on Facebook states she will have free t-shirts and yard signs available. Everyone is welcome.

March 1 is primary election day with early voting beginning Feb. 14. January 31 is the last day to register to vote for the March 1 election.

his 3-point excellence and added another to give Gunter a 14-5 lead with 7:38 left in the second. Howe looked dead in the water, but Luke Lopez hit a 3-pointer to keep the Dogs within striking distance. Lopez then fed Cooper Jones on an air-bubble pass underneath which he converted to cut the Tiger lead to 16-10. Howe entered the locker room trailing 18-12 at the half.

Just as Howe was making a move on offense, Jackson Buckholder drained a 3-pointer to push the lead back to five at 21-16 at the 4:12 mark in the third. A minute later, Campbell found Wilson at the free throw line for a jumper to cut the margin back to three. But Pines again answered back with a 3-bomb to make it 26-18. The score became 2820 Gunter heading into the fourth period.

This is where the Howe defense got busy. The Bulldogs did not allow a single point in the fourth period and came back eight of their own. Austin Haley made a left-handed layup to cut it to 28-22. Luke Lopez hit a monster 3 -pointer to make it 28-25. Wilson hit a free throw to make it 28-26, and Defrange tied it up with a jumper just outside the paint with 3:20 remaining in the game.

The score held until the end of regulation.

Haley led Howe with nine points followed by Wilson and Campbell’s seven. Other scorers were Lopez (6), Defrange (2), and Jones (2). Wilson led Howe with nine rebounds.

Friday’s game with Blue Ridge was rescheduled for Saturday and it was filled with highs and lows scoring swings. Again, it was a defensive battle as every Howe game tends to be. Opponents have been forcing the Dogs to get inside scoring from their posts as Howe’s scoring game has been controlled by guards Campbell, Haley, and Luke Lopez all season long. Lately, the bell has been answered by Wilson and now Zak Defrange who on Saturday had six crucial blocked shots and seven rebounds. Wilson added nine points of his own against Blue Ridge.

The game began with a Haley pass to Luke Lopez in the corner for a 3pointer and Howe. A Campbell jumper, a Haley 3-pointer, and a Wilson jumper gave Howe an early 10-4 lead

midway through the first. After another Haley 3-pointer, Howe took a 13-6 lead into the second frame and a 21-18 lead into intermission.

A free throw by Blue Ridge’s Logan Shade tied the game at 25-25, but moments later Wilson converted a 3-point play with a layup and a successful foul shot to give Howe a 28-25 lead with 2:30 remaining in the third. After a Defrange steal and long pass to Luke Lopez, Wilson again converted a lefthanded layup to give Howe a 5-point lead.

Left: Austin Haley (1) and Jacob Campbell (11). Right: Zac Defrange (10).

With Howe leading 30-27 with a minute left, the Tigers went into stall mode and burned the final minute playing for a final unsuccessful 3pointer by Shade.

With nearly two minutes gone in the fourth, Blue Ridge’s Jonathan Garza gave the Tigers their first lead of the night at 3130. But an offensive rebound and a put-back

by Luke Lopez gave Howe back the lead with 5:33 left in the game.

Moments later, Campbell stole the ball from Garza which led to a Lopez jumper to tie the game at 34-34.

The Blue Ridge lead reached three points on a Shade 14foot jumper with 3:18 left in regulation. But that would be the final points of the game for the Tigers as Howe went into full-blown defensive suffocation mode helped out by Blue Ridge’s desire to burn most of the clock.

Luke Lopez tied the game after a timeout with a 3-pointer from the right wing to make it 37-37. It looked as if Blue Ridge was going to take the lead with 0:25 left in the game when Garza fed Shade under the bucket, but Defrange blocked the shot. Campbell raced the other direction but was fouled with 0:03.4 seconds remaining.

Howe was unable to score off the inbounds and the game went to overtime.

Blue Ridge’s plan to drain all the clock in overtime backfired with Campbell went 4-for-4 from the line to give Howe the win.

Campbell led Howe with 13 points, followed by Wilson with nine. Other scorers were Luke Lopez (8), Haley (6), Ethan Lopez (3), and Defrange (2).

Defrange’s seven rebound led the Bulldogs with Wilson behind him at five.

The Bulldogs will travel to Bells Tuesday to take on the Panthers who sit at 9 -2 in district play. They’ll then host Leonard Friday night who are 10-1 on the season. Howe was blown out by Bells 50-38 at home the first round through the district. They took Leonard to the wire and lost 46-43 just before going on the 5-game winning streak.

XYZ to hold monthly meeting Submitted—X (Xtra) Y (Years) of Z (Zest) First Baptist Church Howe’s senior citizen group will have their monthly meeting on this Thursday, Feb. 10 at 10:30 in the church’s Fellowship Hall.

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 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 Cities are often known by the newspapers they support and the opportunities that their residents find.

When one English Ken Bridges immigrant arrived in Dallas in 1885, he became known for both. George Dealey became the driving force behind The Dallas Morning News from its founding and became an important figure in the early growth of the city.

George Bannerman Dealey was born in Manchester, England, in 1859. He was the fifth of ten children born into a modest family in the growing industrial city. The family soon moved to nearby Liverpool. He began attending school and also working as an apprentice for a local grocer. In 1870, the family made the decision to move to America in pursuit of a better life.

The family arrived in Galveston where Dealey continued his schooling and took a series of jobs in the new city. His older brother had taken a job as an office assistant at the Galveston Daily News. When his brother left in 1874, he took up the position. Dealey moved up the ranks, eventually taking classes at Island City Business College and becoming a reporter.

In 1885, the owner and publisher of the Daily News, Alfred H. Belo, saw that Dallas was growing rapidly. In fact, the city would more than triple in size during the 1880s, passing Galveston in size. He saw a valuable opportunity and decided that Dallas needed a new newspaper to serve the city though there were already others in operation. Belo sent Dealey to Dallas to serve as business manager for the new publication, to be called The Dallas Morning News. Belo and Dealey agreed that a morning publication would be an advantage over the afternoon papers in the city by providing the late news from the previous day first. It was an unusual approach as most newspapers in the country still printed and distributed their papers in the afternoons, something that would continue into the 1970s and 1980s.

The newspaper quickly became a success. The paper brought the world’s news to the doorsteps of residents, and Dealey actively promoted the city through its reporting. Dealey was promoted to manager in 1895. In 1899, he campaigned for the Cleaner Dallas League, a civic organization dedicated to improving the city’s appearance and services, which became the Dallas Civic Improvement League.

He became president of the A. H. Belo Corporation in 1919. With radio becoming more popular, and the City of Dallas establishing its own public radio station in 1920, Dealey pushed to begin a station owned by the Belo Corporation. In 1922, radio station WFAA went on the air and would enjoy a close relationship with the paper for decades. He bought the newspaper and became majority stockholder in the Belo Corporation in 1926. For his efforts to promote Dallas, he was named vice-president of the National Municipal League in 1923 and president of the Dallas Historical Society in 1933. He later served on the boards of the Children’s Hospital of Texas and the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.

Dealey insisted on integrity in reporting and in advertising. He refused to run ads for liquor sales, and even in the midst of the oil boom refused ads from oilmen as he could not verify the honesty of the speculators descending into the region. He also railed against the Ku Klux Klan in editorials and reporting, including stories written by his son, future publisher Ted Dealey.

By the early 1920s, The Dallas Morning News was the most important newspaper in East Texas and strong rivalry with the other local newspaper, the afternoon Dallas Times Herald and with the Fort Worth StarTelegram to the west.

In honor of his work to improve the downtown area, Dealey Plaza opened in 1934 as a park area on the west side of the old Dallas County Courthouse along Elm Street and bounded by Houston and Commerce streets. It became a popular feature in the downtown area with its trees and sloping hills.

Dealey died in February 1946. Up until the end at age 86, he continued to work as publisher for the paper he had worked to build. Upon his death, he was praised by colleagues around the country as the “dean of American newspaper publishers.” A statue in honor of Dealey was placed at Dealey Plaza in 1949. However, the Dealey Plaza area later became synonymous with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Dealey continued to be remembered for his contributions to the city. Years later, a public Montessori school in North Dallas was named for him. By 1991, The Dallas Morning News had become the only daily newspaper in Dallas and is still one of the largest newspapers in the state.

He was placed on the board of directors of the A. H. Belo Corporation in 1905 but continued to direct the growth of the Morning News. Agreeing with other city leaders that Dallas needed a university, he supported the creation of Southern Methodist University, which opened in 1911. He used the paper’s growing influence to lobby for Dallas to become the site of the new Federal Reserve Bank in 1913, beating Houston. © 2022 The Howe Enterprise

Living with children I just experienced a flashback, but fear not, it wasn’t freaky. I was thinking about the parenting revolution that began in the John Rosemond late 1960s and quickly overwhelmed America’s homes and schools. During this reverie, I remembered a bumper sticker that adorned many a suburban minivan during that time. It read: Respect Your Child!

Parents were encouraged to respect their children’s needs for attention, self -esteem, autonomy, affirmation, and other things no previous generation of parents thought children needed; not in abundance, at least. In effect, the new experts encouraged parents to think of their children as peers.

“You wouldn’t say ‘Because I said so’ to a friend of yours, would you?” asked the new parenting experts. “Of course not! How would your friend feel if you said that to him? Not so good, right? Right! So, don’t say it to your child, either.”

Huh? I began to think that the only mental health professional in America who perceived the irrationality of this new parenting propaganda was me.

That’s a heavy burden, folks. Just kidding.

When I began challenging blarney of that sort in this newspaper column, the mental health community went nuts. En masse, they demanded of newpaper editors that they drop my column. I was “dangerous,” they said.

They actually used that word in letters to editors and not a few times. I was “encouraging child abuse” was another example of the mass hysteria I brought about in people who were supposed to be paragons of proper mental functioning.

Thus reminiscing, I flashed back to the bumper sticker. So, let’s talk about it.

I never felt respected by my parents.

That would be the testimony of probably 99.9 percent of folks my age, who were children when child and teen mental health in America was whoppingly better than it is today.

My parents loved me. They provided for me adequately (albeit, from my childish point of view, never sufficiently). They were, I knew in my heart of hearts, the reason I wasn’t scavenging on the streets like one of Dickens’ waifs. But respect? Hardly.

My thesaurus gives the following synonyms for the word respect: admiration, high opinion, reverence, look up to, and deference. Nope, my parents did not respect me. Quite the contrary, the respect went in the other direction.

I respected them. I respected them for being hard-working people who took good care of me and loved me despite my all-too frequent episodes of badness. They had my best interests in mind (albeit I failed to appreciate that fact of my life).

What has a child done to deserve RESPECT from adults, parents or otherwise—to have them admire, revere, and look up to him? Absolutely nothing. He does not support himself and absent his parents’ provision and protection, would fall prey to all manner of harm.

The rule of thumb: A child’s respect for his parents is inversely proportional to their respect for him.

Too bad that won’t fit on a bumper sticker.

In 1971, John earned his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University and was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

Determined to be on the same page with God Last year was challenging for many, and as we move ahead in 2022, may we dedicate our minds and hearts to continue drawing as near to God as Dr. Billy Holland we can. Psalm 24:7 promises, “The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him, and He delivers them.”

This is referring to the reverential fear that many Christians have become too busy to think about. Let us not become distracted or discouraged as the enemy is trying to weaken and scatter God’s people. Pray for spiritual sensitivity so that you will not allow the intensity of the Holy Spirit’s fire within you to dwindle to a lukewarm ember. Where are the living sacrifices, and where is the boldness and desperation to walk with God? Guard your heart and never lose your fervency to obey God or the constant longing for His presence. Jesus is waiting for His warriors to awaken and prepare for His return, but many do not see the urgency.

You see, the Lord has a general will which is His written word, and a unique and specific will that includes unwritten detailed instructions for all of us. God’s promises are the last will and testament of Jesus Christ which means that Biblical truth is eternally enforced and activated. This means we are called to confess these instructions and receive these blessings by faith. He is the testator and we are His heirs according to His covenant as His word is true and never fails! He rose from the dead which confirms every statement He spoke is alive and active and our obedience to the Holy Spirit who works through us, empowers us to walk in God’s authority for His glory. My brand new book, “Receiving our Healing - Going to war on our knees” has just been released, and it’s about understanding this covenant relationship with God and how together with His truth and our faith, we can receive healing and live victoriously in this life.

His specific will is based on His sovereign desires and plans, but this does

not mean we cannot know what they are. Since Christ and the Holy Spirit dwell within God’s people, it’s possible to become so close to Him that we can hear His voice and know His will.

Those who seek will find and the ones who knock the doors shall be opened to them. Having the mind of Christ is rarely taught and much of this is because the religious masses are not interested in sacrificing or surrendering the control of the flesh. Only those who are passionate to yield their will can enter into the higher levels of understanding. We want Jesus as our Savior, but accepting Him as our Lord means that He manages our thoughts, words, and actions. This is the narrow way that God intended for His people, and according to this required dedication, the authority of the Almighty will be manifested in a remnant of devoted believers. Romans 11:5 says, “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” If you needed to speak with a remnant overcomer about God and your soul who would you trust?

I am grateful to the Lord Jesus for His mercy and grace. By faith I anticipate Him pouring out His Spirit upon us and giving discernment and the awareness of His authority to those who desire His glorious presence. As we move closer to the end of the age, we know He is not returning for a church that is weak, confused and distracted.

He is coming for a glorious bride whose garments are without spot and wrinkle and have overcome the carnality of their flesh and temptations from the evil one. Seek the Lord while He may be found and fast and pray until you are filled with the holy fire of His Spirit. Pray and seek Him for a burden for the lost as this is the result of spiritual love. We will never care about souls until we love people enough to pray for them. Having an obsession to walk with God does not fall out of the air, but rather the mind and heart must be trained and renewed to desire what He desires.

Overcomers are recognized as the true church which the gates of hell will never prevail against. Peace and hope to you, and may the Lord continue to give you His wisdom and understanding.

As Biden's pandemic ratings tank, study finds lockdowns had 'little to no public health effects'

By Greg Piper JustTheNews.com EDITOR’S NOTE—This section is reserved as an editorial and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

CNN's left-wing lickspittle may become a thing of the past when it is spun off to Discovery later this year.

Cable TV pioneer John Malone, a billionaire Trump donor and Discovery's largest shareholder, has said he’s eager to restore the network to impartiality. He retains a 25 percent voting share in Discovery, which will take control of WarnerMedia and its assets including CNN - later this year.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” said Malone.

“I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that DiscoveryTimeWarner’s going to represent.”

With Jeff Zucker gone, that seems more likely than ever. Deadline reported last night that it was Malone who insisted on Zucker's departure after learning of the affair. ***** CDC admits natural immunity more protective than vax, yet hypes ICU, other perils for unvaxxed kids ***** Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti found guilty of stealing from former client Stormy Daniels ***** Judge lets convicted Hunter Biden business partner freely roam globe while awaiting sentencing ***** Media credits Biden for ISIS leader's death, after blasting Trump for similar terrorist killings ***** Homeland Security doesn’t know court locations for 40,000 illegals

COVID-19 narratives promoted by federal regulators and enforced by Big Tech for nearly two years are faltering as more researchers probe questions long deemed too controversial to study.

Johns Hopkins University's Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise concluded that lockdown policies "have had little to no public health effects" while imposing "enormous economic and social costs."

Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of U.S. and European studies of possible relationships between lockdown policies and COVID "mortality or excess mortality," prompted by two international studies that countered Imperial College London's staggering estimates of COVID deaths without lockdown.

One found that dailydeath growth rates fell "close to zero within 20-

30 days" of each region hitting 25 deaths, and the other found "government policies are strongly driven by the policies initiated in other countries" rather than a given country's own COVID situation.

Led by Johns Hopkins professor and institute founder Steve Hanke, the international team reviewed 34 studies, twothirds peer-reviewed and 29 of which had data cutoffs before September 2020, roughly the first six months of pandemic response in the Western world.

The studies were split into three groups. The "stringency index" studies, which use an Oxford -designed composite of nine nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), found 0.2% average mortality reduction, while "shelter-in-place order" studies found a 2.9% reduction.

Judge Releases Dominion Audit Report: System ‘Designed’ to ‘Create Systemic Fraud’ A Michigan judge has released the bombshell report on the audit of Dominion Voting Systems, revealing that the machines and their software were “designed” to “create systemic fraud.”

The report covers the forensic audit of Dominion’s machines in Michigan’s Antrim County — which received national attention after it was discovered that 6,000 votes for President Donald Trump were “flipped” to Democrat Joe Biden due to an “error.”

13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer ordered the report’s protective order to be lifted on Monday night, allowing

the details of the audit to be unsealed and released to the public. The data firm that conducted the forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems determined that the machines and software in Michigan showed that they were designed to create fraud and influence election results, the report reveals.

“We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results,” Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied Security Operations Group, said in a prelimi-

World awakening and silent war Arizona gubernatorial candidate Carey Lake recently gave an interview to an ABC reporter.

The reporter tried to frame Lake, but instead received a decent answer, which she did not expect to hear.

Cary Lake: Do you think he (Biden) is the president?

Reporter: Do you think the election was stolen?

Cary Lake: What do you think?

Reporter: I have no comments.

Carey Lake: Do you think Joe Biden got 81 million votes? Do you think the elections are fair?

The problem is that the American people don't have all the answers, because the media is part of the problem. The media does not report this. The media has never covered our forensic technical expertise objectively.

They don't report what's going on in Georgia.

They don't report these ballot merchants who are paid to cast ballots. The media is doing this country a huge disservice, and people don't get full information (...) Media, the number of which is falling like a stone, will continue to fall. And very soon no one will be watching (TV). Because the media turned away from the people of America and were not honest.

ABC News, CNN, MSNBC have been lying to the American people for more than three years, saying that Russia colluded with Donald Trump to steal the 2016 election results. And they knew it was a lie. They knew they were spreading lies and did nothing

to stop it. It was a complete deception, it was a lie. And now they are doing the opposite. We have evidence of corruption in our elections, but they refuse to cover them. They refuse to be honest with the people of this country. What the media has done is disgusting. And I think their days are numbered.

When you lie to people and you are the media, it's a bad business model. ***** The Covid vaccine from Moderna, which will be sold under the name Spikevax, is fully approved by the FDA based on "data accumulated prior to the appearance of the Omicron variant." ***** The Chinese media claim that China has intercepted intelligence that American athletes are being paid to disrupt the Winter Olympic Games. ***** Spotify is adding content warnings to any podcast episodes that include discussion of Covid-19 as part of a "new effort to combat disinformation."

This happened after US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and musician Neil Young complained about Joe Rogan's podcast, which was visited

by Dr. Robert Malone and once again criticized the Covid-19 vaccine. ***** The Washington Post reports on the aggravation of contradictions between the White House and Health Minister Xavier Becerra amid growing frustration among White House officials over the latest wave of Covid-19 and conflicting reports from top health officials. ***** It is expected that PfizerBioNTech will request "permission for emergen-

In addition, India plans to introduce a 30 percent tax on income from the transfer of virtual digital assets. ***** According to WHO estimates and the Global Burden of Disease study, almost 800,000 people die from suicide every year. That's one person every 40 seconds. (Data before the pandemic / 2019).

The Johns Hopkins working paper is not peer -reviewed, but it largely reaffirms a year-old peerreviewed study published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation.

His December update of global "seroprevalance" data for the first year of COVID cut the IFR in half among several age groups, including young people.

Biden's pandemic rating 'underwater' The American public is growing increasingly weary of COVID mandates, according to a Monmouth University poll published Monday.

One of that study's coauthors, Stanford Medical School meta-research pioneer John Ioannidis, put a target on his back for early research suggesting COVID was much more pervasive and less lethal than thought. BuzzFeed News claimed Ioannidis knowingly hid funding from an anti-lockdown CEO, which he denied.

Their views on proof-ofvaccination requirements have inverted since September, with 53% in January opposing passports in offices and settings with other people. Support for adopting or reinstating mask mandates in their own state is still a majority (52%) but has fallen from 63% in September.

The "infection fatality rate" estimates by Ioannidis are roughly in line with the CDC's "best

Thirty-seven percent said they are unlikely to get a booster, including 17% holding out on initial

COVID vaccination.

Nearly twice as many (45%) had been boosted

by January as by December (24%).

Asked if "Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives," seven in 10 said yes. The partisan split was stark, with nearly twice as many Republicans (89%) as Democrats (47%) agreeing and independents near the average (71%).

The weariness is taking a toll on President Biden's pandemic ratings, which hit a new low in Monmouth's tracking. Only 43% say he's done a good job, the first time this metric has dipped "underwater," and 53% say he's done a bad job.

His COVID adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, fares better but remains polarizing with an approval-disapproval rating of 52-47% in a December Gallup survey.

Dominion audit report nary report. “The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.

The ruling is a major blow for Dominion’s CEOs (pictured) who hoped to keep the report sealed “The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication,” the report continues.” The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail.

Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan,” he added.

“We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.”

Ramsland, a former Reagan administration official who has worked for NASA, and the team of cybersecurity experts examined Dominion products in Antrim County earlier this month as part of an ongoing case.

The team inspected and performed forensic du-

plication on the county’s election management server, which was running Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5.3-002, compact flash cards used by local precincts in their Dominion ImageCast system, USB memory sticks used by Dominion Voter Assist Terminals, and USB memory sticks used for the poll book.

They used X-Ways Forensics and other tools including BlackbagBlacklight Forensic Software, and Virtual Box. Judge Elsenheimer approved the forensic examination in Bailey v.

Antrim County, which alleges the infamous vote flip county officials reported last month may have not been the result of human error, as officials had alleged.

Antrim County resident William Bailey filed the lawsuit against the county that challenges the integrity of the election equipment.

On Monday, Elsenheimer ruled that the report on the examination must be published. Elsenheimer unsealed the report after state and county

officials withdrew their objections.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, has attempted to dismiss the report as “inaccurate, incomplete, and misleading.”

“The Antrim County Clerk and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson have stated that the election night error detailed above by the vote ‘flip’ from Trump to Biden, was the result of human error caused by the failure to update the Mancelona Township tabulator prior to Election Night for a down-ballot race,” reads the report by Allied Security Operations Group. “We disagree and conclude that the vote flip occurred because of machine error built into the voting software designed to create error.”

Allied Security Operations Group concludes that the Dominion system “should not be used in Michigan” and the Antrim County results “should not have been certified.”

Last weekend, Judge Eisenheimer ordered Antrim County election offi-

***** New Hampshire lawmakers are proposing a bill that would allow pharmacists to prescribe Ivermectin without a prescription. ***** On Monday, Pope Francis met with a delegation of the Italian tax service, praised them for their work and called taxation a necessary tool for redistribution.

According to the pontiff, modern tax collectors are often viewed with suspicion, as in the time of Jesus, but they provide an important service to the common good by redistributing wealth. ***** "The House of Representatives of the US Congress is studying digital identification schemes and is hearing testimony in favor of cooperation between the public and private sectors on biometric identity authentication standards advocated by the World Economic Forum and the FIDO Alliance.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) promotes digital identification as the main component of its globalist program of the Great Reset, aimed at restructuring the world economy and all social structures. https://sociable.co/ technology/your-digitalidentity-used-against-you -great-reset/ https://sociable.co/tag/ great-reset/ In January 2020, the WEF, together with the FIDO Alliance, prepared a 26-page report entitled "Password-free Authentication", in which these cials to preserve all election materials and refrain from operating any of the county’s Dominion Voting Systems machines ahead of a forensic audit by the Trump campaign.

“Antrim County election officials discovered that ‘human error’ flipped 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden after Bailey alerted them to some inconsistencies in the county’s reporting of the human error.”

China itself claims that American military athletes could have brought the virus to Wuhan.

Secondly, the WEF is one of the leading proponents of digital biometric identification systems, arguing that they will make society and industry more efficient, productive and secure. In July 2019, the WEF launched a project on "shaping the future of travel with the help of digital traveler identification management with biometric support." In addition, the WEF cooperates with the ID2020 alliance, which is funded by the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations and implements a program to "provide digital identity with vaccines." In particular, ID2020 considers vaccination of children as an "entry point for digital identification".

Thirdly, WEF founder Klaus Schwab is the author of the book "Covid19: The Great Reset", published in July 2020, which argues that the coronavirus pandemic can and should be used for "economic, social, geopolitical, environmental and technological reset", including, in particular, promoting global governance, accelerating digital transformation and addressing climate change.

And finally, since 1993, the WEF has been implementing the program "Global Leaders of Tomorrow", which in 2004 was renamed "Young Global Leaders". This program is aimed at identifying, selecting and promoting future global leaders in both business and politics. Indeed, quite a few "Young Global leaders" subsequently became presidents, prime ministers or leaders."
