Bulldogs sink playoff drought, win streak reaches seven

Trump continually called the link to he and Russia a “witch hunt” which has apparently become even dirtier than that.

On Saturday, Trump demanded prosecutions and reparations from the exhausting fake Russia hoax that had the media stoking the fire of the phony story instead of doing real journalism.

A quick peek back through the process shows that John Solomon of Just The News was one of the only journalists in America that got the story right. Full information about this can be found in the Patriot Pony section beginning on page 15.

Texas Instruments investment has made Howe a target for big growth Texas has become a big landing zone for the domestic production of semiconductor chips with Samsung’s $17 billion plant north of Austin and the $29 billion Texas Instruments (T.I.) plant north of Howe. The result of the T.I. plant has properties being swallowed up by investors and developers.

The City of Howe has seen a large increase in development projects seeking to greatly expand the population from its current 3,600.

Copper thieves hit youth baseball field

As Howe Youth Baseball Commissioner Chris Kane began preparing for the upcoming season, he noticed a few typical items such as bulbs needing to be replaced at Hash Field at Bicentennial Park. But upon approaching North Field at the same park, he noticed a problem with the electric panel. All of the copper wire had been cut and ripped from the PVC containers.

City of Howe Public Works Director Mickey Phillips had to send an electrician to the park to get things ready to go.

North and Hash Field are constantly under attack by vandals due to their position along US Highway 75.

The Lady Bulldogs averaged 36.72 points on the season and gave up an average of 48.09. They will graduate

Howe vs. Bells seniors Trinity Williams, Landery Sanders, Rylee Burris, and Avery Snapp.

called “Noble Ridge” which will be adjoined to Summit Hill and eventually stretch south to Matthews Road.

A different group is planning to develop 120 acres near Castlegate and Cassandra Streets with lot sizes similar to the existing neighborhood. Some lot sizes could even reach the half acre level in that development.

The property north of Howe High School, which is in the City of Howe, has been sold to an equity group planning for a heavy commercial layout mixed with single family homes, townhomes, and an apartment complex.

There’s also a rekindling conversation years ago about a previous development along Ponderosa Road on the east side of the road.

Also, there is the Tomlin Development to the south on Blythe Road and US Highway 75 to Texas Highway 5 that is beginning, it appears, to make a stride off high-center to move forward on that project.

Sherman and Grayson County both approved an incentive package for the project, offering a ten-year, 90 percent property tax abatement. T.I. says that the new plants can support as many as 3,200 jobs when completed.

Two weeks ago, T.I. announced that the company plans to invest $3 billion each year in manufacturing U.S. semiconductor chips through 2025. From 2026 to 2030, it will continue investing 10 percent of its annual revenue into its manufacturing process.

T.I. predicts that this investment plan will bring in 7 percent in revenue growth for 2030 and beyond. This expansion includes a plan to begin construction on two of four new factories. Production is expected to start at the first factory in 2025.

The second factory will be ready for production soon after that, with more investments, Rafael Lizardi, the chief executive officer for T.I. told the Dallas Express. The third and fourth factories will begin construction sometime between 2026 and 2030.

All four new plants will be located in Sherman and are expected to bring in $5 billion to $6 billion in revenue annually once fully operational, according to Lizardi.

The post play by Eli Wilson (32) and Zak Defrange (10) have been catalysts of the 7-game winning streak. Photos by Michelle Carney.

The X(extra) Y(years) of Z(zest) group of First Baptist Church Howe met recently for their regular monthly meeting. The program was an informative, interesting, and inspirational presentation by Doug Shelley talking about his gospel ministry with the Navajo and other Native Americans in New Mexico.

As one way of ministering to the Native Americans, he collects and delivers, 4 or 5 times a year, tons of beans, flour, rice, blankets, and clothing to them. He helps to distribute goods, preach the gospel, train preachers, and witness to the people in the various

communities and small churches.

Most recently Doug has made a trip to deliver clothing to help the people devastated in recent Alabama tornadoes.

Doug and his wife, Cindy, who are FB Howe Missionaries, are very appreciative of all the donations of food, clothing, and money that are made to their ministry. Doug attested to that fact as he told how God provided for a much needed new vehicle battery through gift cards he had received from friends in various Texas churches.

team has clinched the playoffs since May 2018 when the Howe Bulldogs baseball team lost in the first round to Whitesboro. (Editor’s note—we incorrectly mentioned in a previous article that it was the 2017-18 basketball team that last reached the playoffs).

On Friday at Bells, Howe immediately found themselves trailing 13-0 at the 3:52 mark in the first quarter. Jacob Campbell hit two free throws to get Howe on the board which was the start of a 46-18 run to knock down Bells by a final of 46-31.

A Campbell layup, an Austin Haley 3pointer, a Luke Lopez 3-pointer brought the game to 15-12 at the end of the first quarter.

To being the second quarter, Howe’s Eli Wilson scored a bucket on an inbound play to bring Howe within one point. Haley shot a left elbow jumper to give Howe the lead for the first time.

But Bells answered back and jumped back to a 5-point lead at 21-16. But Haley again hit a jumper, Cooper Jones hit a jumper, and a Wilson layup put Howe up again at 22-21.

As the teams continued to go back and forth, Campbell hit Jones with a beautiful left-handed pass underneath for an easy bucket. Moments later Luke Lopez scored on a fast break to give Howe what eventually became a 2623 halftime lead.

Howe opened with a 3-point play by Lopez and a 3-pointer by Campbell which would serve as the early dagger

Howe, who uses their suffocating defense to win games, allowed only eight points in the entire second half.

Campbell led all scorers with 17 points and also had six rebounds and six assists. Luke Lopez added 13 points and Austin Haley contributed seven. Other scorers were Jones (5), and Wilson (4).

Jones and Wilson had six rebounds.

On Friday night, the 11-1 Leonard Tigers came marching into “The Ranch” on Ponderosa and quickly learned that the Bulldogs were a different team than the one that previously defeated them with 46-43 with Howe only having seven players. Since that night, Howe has reeled off 7-straight wins allowing opponents only 32.14 points per game while scoring 45.57. The difference in Howe during the streak has been the outstanding post play from Wilson, Zak Defrange, and

Jones. Each of those have contributed mightily in their own way using their different strengths of their game.

Leonard’s defensive tactic was to match up the overly athletic D.J. Brown against Howe’s leading scorer Campbell. The matchup was amazing to watch as two great players went 1-on-1 for all but a few minutes when Brown had to leave the game due to early foul trouble. Campbell never left the floor and Brown’s high energy defense had Campbell working on fumes in the fourth period.

But Campbell had just enough fumes to push over the hump as Howe finished with a 54-39 win.

Howe controlled the game from beginning to end. The Dogs jumped out to an 11-3 lead which prompted a timeout by the Tigers. Wilson had seven rebounds in the first period, five of which were on the offensive side.

Leonard would not go away quietly early and fought back to an 11-8 score at the end of the first quarter. Luke Lopez began the second quarter scoring with a 3-pointer . Moments later, Haley followed with one of his own and the Dogs stormed out of the second in full force. Jones made huge contributions on both ends of the floor during the second and Howe took a 27

-22 lead into intermission.

After the half, Howe completely controlled the game as Campbell attacked the basket and shot 15-of-16 at the line on the night with most coming late in the game. He finished with 26 points for the Bulldogs and added seven rebounds. No other Howe player reached double digits in points as Lopez reached eight, Jones had six, Haley tallied six, Defrange had five, Wilson had two. Wilson led Howe with eight rebounds while Campbell had seven.

Howe will host Whitewright Tuesday at 7:30 pm at The Ranch. The 48-33 win over the Tigers on Jan. 21 began the winning streak.

Spelling Bee (Continued from page 1)

Logan Nitchman, a seventh grader from Howe Middle School, Jude Christman, a fourth grader from Howe Intermediate School, and Rosanna Kim, an eighth grader from Sherman Middle School, were the last three standing at the end of the tenth round.

a

The three went head-to-head for the next 3 rounds, spelling words such as misconception, windbaggery, and lexicon. Finally, Logan defeated his competition by correctly spelling dim sum and vulpine, and he was declared the 2022 Grayson County Spelling Champion.

After a spell off between the two runners up, it was determined that Rosanna Kim would be the alternate if Logan is unable to compete in the next round of competition.

The Dallas Regional Spelling Bee will be held on Saturday, March 19, and will be televised on WFAA. The

time has not yet been determined.

The top two winners of the Dallas Regional Spelling Bee advance to the National Spelling Bee to be held in June, and Logan is already studying hard to be one of those top spellers.

Logan Nitchman is not a newcomer to spelling bees. In the 2020/2021 school year, he also won the Howe Middle School bee and advanced to the Grayson County Bee. It appears that experience, as well as strong study habits, pay off.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee is the nation’s largest and longestrunning educational program, having launched in 1925. The purpose of the Scripps National Spelling Bee is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.

The final game of the season will be at Lone Oak on Nov. 4.

The non-district schedule will begin Aug. 26 at Honey Grove followed by three consecutive home games with Tom Bean, Commerce, and Tioga.

The final non-district game will be at S&S. Howe will have six home games in

2022, but that means they will have six road games in 2023.

The Bulldogs will begin with two scrimmages against Whitewright and Scurry-Rosser with dates and times to be determined.

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 Pat Garrett is another of the legendary figures of the Old West. He always had a taste for adventure and had a career as a Ken Bridges distinguished law officer in a time when little law and order was to be found. Wherever Garrett went, trouble always seemed to follow.

Patrick Floyd Jarvis Garrett was born in Alabama in 1850 to a farming family. In 1853, they moved to northern Louisiana when his father bought a plantation there. However, everything fell apart after the Civil War. His father went bankrupt, his mother died in 1867, and his father died the following year. Barely 18 and with nothing left to hold him back, Garrett rode west into Texas.

For the next several years, Garrett made a modest living as a buffalo hunter in Texas before finding work on a ranch in Lincoln County in the center of the New Mexico Territory.

He eventually came to own a local ranch of his own.

However, tensions between rival ranching factions exploded into the notorious Lincoln County War in 1878. A series of gunfights across the area left perhaps two dozen dead. The chaos thrust Garrett out of the shadows and into the middle of the bloodshed.

By 1880, residents enraged over the continuing violence pushed Sheriff George Kimball out of office in favor of Garrett by a nearly two-to-one margin. The chaos continued as Garrett and his posse captured William Bonney, more famously known as gunman Billy the Kid, in December after a shootout at Stinking Springs. Four months later, Billy the Kid escaped just after his conviction for murder.

Garrett would encounter him again in July 1881, apparently killing him in a nighttime shootout. However, questions over the details persisted with some suggesting that Billy the Kid escaped and never died at all. Garrett, however, killed several men in gunfights throughout his life including his years as a lawman.

Nevertheless, this incident ended the Lincoln County War once and for all.

Garrett became known across the country for his role. However, he stepped down from his position as sheriff in 1882 and returned to Texas.

While Billy the Kid grew into folk hero status, Garrett attempted to publicize his own version of events with his book The Authentic Life of Billy, The Kid, which became one of the most famous accounts of the outlaw’s life and death.

Garrett continued his career in law enforcement. In 1884, Garrett was made a Texas Ranger but resigned his appointment a year later. He attempted an irrigation business in West Texas, which failed miserably. By 1892, he settled in Uvalde on the Rio Grande to resume ranching.

In 1896, he was appointed sheriff of

Dona Ana County in New Mexico after a prominent citizen and his son disappeared in the desert. Garrett pinpointed four men for murder, and he and his deputies killed two of the suspects in a blaze of gunfire in 1898.

The remaining two surrendered several months later.

In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed Garrett as the US customs collector for El Paso. However, after a fistfight with one employee and a number of political missteps, he was replaced by 1906.

Garrett, however, had massive debts by this time and lost his Uvalde ranch.

He and his son attempted to lease a ranch in New Mexico, but a dispute erupted with the owner, Jesse Brazel, and his partners about the terms. In March 1908, Garrett rode out to meet with Brazel to discuss the matter further when he was shot dead. Brazel confessed to the shooting but was acquitted of murder.

In the years after Garrett’s death, his character appeared in many novels and movies, including the first Billy the Kid movie in 1925. Controversy and debate surrounding the life of Garrett only grew after his death. A small memorial marking the spot of his death near what is now US 70 was placed by his son in the 1930s.

Living with children Q: Our son, a senior in high school, is vaping.

He claims he does it to control his anxiety. I worry about him getting John Rosemond into harder drugs when when he goes to college this coming fall. What’s your take on this?

A: Your son hasn’t done his homework. Nicotine is more likely to produce anxiety and related symptoms—tachycardia, for example— than have a calming effect. The exception is that once a person has developed nicotine dependence, mental unease (i.e., anxiety) does tend to rise between “smokes” (using the term generically) as craving increases in which case puffing on a vape is probably going to produce temporary calming.

On the other hand, your son may be experiencing a placebo effect from vaping. That is, he thinks it’s helping him deal with anxiety; therefore, it is helping him deal with anxiety. Human beings can talk themselves into (or, be talked into) believing all sorts of absurdities.

Before we go any further, let’s get two misconceptions out of the way: First, nicotine itself is not associated with a higher risk of cancer. The risk of lung cancer is primarily a matter of the junk in cigarettes—ammonia, for example.

Second, nicotine is addictive, for sure, but the addiction is not debilitating like, say, crack cocaine; it’s more akin to being addicted to caffeine. FULL DISCLOSURE: Yours truly is addicted to caffeine. I don’t steal purses from little old ladies to fund my habit, however.

Some studies have found an associa-

tion between vaping and later use of dangerous drugs (for the sake of argument, I’m lumping cannabis in with “dangerous”), but to my knowledge, the studies in question have not been replicated, so the reports are fuzzy.

When evaluating research, one must always consider that a study reports an average that does not predict any individual outcome. So, a study finding that vaping is likely to precede drug use included vapers who never went on to use drugs other than nicotine. If you want to worry about something, the most dangerous drug of choice among college students is alcohol.

In your son’s case, the most important consideration is his age. He is or soon will be eligible to join the armed services and vote. At this stage of the game, I doubt you are going to be able to do anything constructive about your son’s vaping, and anything you attempt by way of force is only going to cause him to become more secretive.

Within your son’s peer group, vaping may be cool in high school and maybe even college, but when he gets out into the world, he’s going to quickly discover that vaping is going to be neither professionally nor socially advantageous.

The bottom line: I think this will run its course. While it does, I strongly advise you to let this go. There are bigger fish to fry, for sure.

When praying for rain, don’t forget your raincoat We’ve heard the old saying that life is not a bed of roses for as long as we can remember. I understand what it’s trying to convey, but I’ve also Dr. Billy Holland thought it would not be all that great to lie down on a bed of sharp thorns. Nevertheless, the point is that life will have its ups and downs and most of us will experience our share of hard times.

Whether it’s a financial worry, a medical situation, relationship problems, or being concerned for the condition of the world; life is a daily challenge.

However, amid all that is going on, we have the opportunity to know God who is an endless source of love, authority, and hope. We can choose to embrace the encouraging truth that He cares about our problems and to believe that He has the answers and the power to give us the victory no matter how dark the night or how tall our mountain. “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” II Corinthians 9:8.

Yes, there are seasons and potholes in the road, but these trials can help us learn about faith and patience, however, God never intended for a crisis to keep us incarcerated in the bondage of spiritual defeat. Despite being surrounded by negative forces, we can receive divine grace through Christ to abide in His presence where there is an abundance of joy, security, and peace. In John 10:10-11 Christ declares, “The thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: but I (Jesus) have come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.” Whatever the situation, God has promised that He wants to save and protect you and bring you through your trials stronger and more confident than ever.

The thoughts of God supplying our needs are wonderful and true spiritual realities but there is also a very important component in receiving His abundant blessings and that is our re-

sponsibility to believe. If we do not have faith, it’s not only impossible to please Him but highly unlikely that His miracles can be activated into our life. In Jeremiah chapter 29, we see in verse 11 that we are always on His mind and He has planned very good things for us to enjoy. But continuing in the context, the next two verses mention for us to take the initiative to call upon Him, pray, and seek His presence with all of our heart which of course includes the element of trust and assurance. Knowledge that He can help us must be transformed into a personal revelation that He will.

I recall a story about a small farming community that had been experiencing a terrible drought. The crops were dying in the fields and everyone was worried and anxious because this is how they made their living. The pastor of the local church called a special prayer service for all the people of the town to gather in front of the church and spend some time agreeing in faith that God would send some rain. Many people arrived and you could sense the seriousness among the crowd. As the pastor was getting ready to begin the meeting, he saw a young girl standing quietly in the front. His eyes were drawn to her bight yellow raincoat and her face was beaming with excitement.

She was holding a large umbrella and as he wished he had brought one himself, seeing how she believed suddenly gave him a surge of hope and confidence. The little girl’s childlike innocence warmed his heart as he realized how much faith she possessed.

Though the town had come together to pray for rain, there was not an anticipation of getting wet, and he wondered if they really believed a miracle was going to happen.

A life without a positive and hopeful expectation of God’s goodness, reveals the miserable pessimist who abides in the shadows of fear, negativity, and sadness. The kingdom of darkness along with our default human nature is constantly telling us it’s impossible, it’s risky, it’s hopeless, but faith believes that nothing is too difficult for God and all things are possible with Him. Every person is sent an invitation to place their trust in God, but sadly many choose to embrace doubt instead.

Biden DHS labels freedom of From the 45th World awakening and silent war speech “terrorist threat” Citing President of ‘misinformation’ surrounding on statewide premises. forecasts sales of the United Pfizer The same thing is hapCovid vaccine and antiCOVID-19 and election fraud pening in California. viral pills related to States ***** Covid-19 in the amount

By Jill Schrider DailyVeracity EDITOR’S NOTE—This section is reserved as an editorial and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

The Biden regime is launching a new crack pipe distribution program in minority communities to promote "racial equality," paid for out of U.S. taxes.

"The $30 million grant program will distribute funds between nonprofit organizations and local governments to make drug use safer and "promote racial equality."

The grant includes money for the purchase of "safe smoking kits/ accessories."

A spokesman for the administration said that pipes for smoking substances such as crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine could be included in these kits.

The kits are designed to limit the risk of infection - usually users smoke from glass pipes, which can lead to cuts and ulcers that become infected.

The distribution of tubes is also intended to encourage users to smoke rather than inject themselves with certain substances, such as methamphetamine, as injections are much more dangerous."

A source ***** Trump always said the media was the enemy of the people. As it turns out, the investigation of Special Counsel John Durham is proving Trump was correct. Not only is it proving Trump was right about the spying that was going on of his campaign, but the media played along with the Russia hoax and added fuel to the fire. There was a time this whole thing would have been called treason. Let’s see what happens.

The Biden Administration has labeled Freedom of Speech a “Terrorist Threat” in a press release issued February 07, 2022 by the Department of Homeland Security, stating that so-called ‘misinformation’ regarding “widespread election fraud and COVID-19” have or will inspire violent terrorist attacks within the U.S. The letter goes on to state that “COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates” have been used by socalled ‘domestic extremists’ to incite violence within the United States and around the world.

The letter goes on to state that the DHS established a new domestic terrorism unit focusing on collection and countering ‘related threats’ online, citing social media users as the focus of the agency while promising “protection of privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.”

If you disagree with the mainstream narrative surrounding COVID-19, the 2020 Election or even 5G cell towers, the United States government will consider you a terrorist threat.

This means sitting congressmen, senators, governors, and mayors (Editor’s note—and a few news publications) across the United States of America are all now considered to be or lend aid to “Domestic Terrorists” — a label that would allow the federal government to legally detain anyone who’s posted about such topics online.

By the standards of the Department of Homeland Security, Laura Ingraham, for instance, would now be considered to be aiding domestic terrorists with calls to resist COVID-19 mandates.

The duration of this memo is until June 7, 2022.

Durham alleges Clinton campaign hired techs to 'infiltrate' Trump servers Just The News staff— Filings from Special Counsel John Durham this week allege the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign was working to establish a "narrative" linking the Trump campaign to a Russian bank, in an alleged gambit one expert said was an effort to "infiltrate" Trump servers to that end.

The allegations, first reported on by Fox News on Saturday, are another layer to the densely, multifaceted Durham investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, one that has continued long after Trump left office and that continues to produce fresh controversies on a regular basis.

Durham's latest filings involve a federal false statement charge brought against Michael Sussman, a former Washington, D.C. lawyer for the Clinton campaign and the law firm Perkins Coie.

Sussman had been questioned by the FBI prior to the 2016 election as to whether he was working for a client when he brought allegations to the bureau about Trump's links to the major private Russian financial institution Alfa-Bank. Sussman denied he was working for anyone, something federal prosecutors claim was untrue.

In September 2021, Durham announced that a federal grand jury has

(Continued on page 16)

The Biden Administration now says “conspiracy theories” about elections are the greatest threat to the homeland. Does the Department of Homeland Security include in its list of conspiracy theories the on tape irrefutable evidence of massive “Ballot Harvesting” in the Swing States? Do they include more votes than voters, and the fact that in Georgia thousands of duplicate votes were scanned and voter fraud was committed with 100-0 falsified vote counts for Joe Biden? Do they include in Wisconsin more than twice the election margin voted without ever showing Voter ID, which is illegal, or the widespread fraud uncovered in nursing homes? Or how 23,344 mail-in ballots were counted, despite the person no longer living at that address in Arizona, and that there was over 100% turnout for mail-in ballots in precincts in Pima County. What about the many violations of the Constitution, and the millions poured into Swing States by the Facebook CEO to hijack our elections?

Durham returned an indictment in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia charging Sussmann with making a false statement to the FBI on Sept.

19, 2016, regarding alleged communications between the Trump Organization and Russian Bank.

In his most recent filings, according to Fox, Durham argues that prior to the FBI's questioning, Sussman "had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including a technology executive (Tech Executive 1) at a U.S.based internet company (Internet Company 1) and the Clinton campaign."

Durham argues that Sussman "repeatedly billed the Clinton campaign for his work on the Russian Bank-1 allegations."

The filings further argue that Sussman and the tech executive in question "had met and communicated with another

World awakening law partner, who was serving as general counsel to the Clinton campaign," a man purported to be Marc Elias, another Clinton campaign lawyer.

"In connection with these efforts, Tech Executive-1 exploited his access to non-public and/or proprietary Internet data," the filing states, according to Fox. "Tech Executive-1 also enlisted the assistance of researchers at a U.S.-based university who were receiving and analyzing large amounts of Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract."

"Tech Executive-1 tasked these researchers to mine Internet data to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying thencandidate Trump to Russia," the filing purportedly continue. "In doing so, Tech Executive-1 indicated that he was seeking to please certain 'VIPs,' referring to individuals at Law Firm-1 and the Clinton campaign."

Kash Patel, a former aide to California GOP Rep. Devin Nunes who has worked in Congress to reveal the origins of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, said in an interview with Fox that the filing "definitively shows that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia."

"Per Durham, this arrangement was put in motion in July of 2016, meaning the Hillary Clinton campaign and her lawyers masterminded the most intricate and coordinated conspiracy against Trump when he was both a candidate and later President of the United States while simultaneously perpetuating the bogus Steele Dossier hoax," Patel told Fox. He argued further that the lawyers in question were working to "infiltrate" servers at both Trump Tower and the White House.

Trump demands prosecutions, reparations after explosive revelations in Durham court filing

Durham's latest court filing "provides indisput-

able evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia," Trump said.

Against the background of how American diplomats are hurriedly leaving Ukraine, Biden makes loud statements.

Earlier on Saturday, the State Department announced that most U.S. diplomatic personnel were being withdrawn from Ukraine, which is currently surrounded by approximately 130,000 Russian troops.

were "no fundamental changes in the dynamics that have been unfolding for several weeks now," CNN reported.

"The two presidents have agreed that our teams will continue to work in the coming days," the official said. "Russia may decide to take military action in any case.

Indeed, it is quite possible (...) The stakes in this case are too high not to give Russia every chance to avoid actions that, in our opinion, will be disastrous. Therefore, as always, we continue to go two ways." https:// www.westernjournal.co m/us-orders-majorevacuation-ahead-bidens -phone-call-putin/ https:// www.whitehouse.gov/ briefing-room/statements -releases/2022/02/12/ readout-of-presidentbidens-call-withpresident-vladimir-putinof-russia/ https://www.cnn.com/ europe/live-news/ukraine -russia-news-02-12-22/ index.html ***** According to reports, Rodney Joffe and others secretly monitored Trump’s internet traffic during the Obama regime.

"President Biden reiterated that Russia's further invasion of Ukraine would cause massive human suffering and weaken Russia's authority."

"President Biden has made it clear to President Putin that while the United States remains ready to engage in diplomacy in full coordination with our allies and partners, we are equally prepared for other scenarios," the statement said.
