HHS OneAct Play advances to area finals

Last week was a good one for all the Bermuda lawn enthusiasts. March was the perfect month to put down your preemergent, but it’s not too late. If there’s a green Bermuda haze on the lawn, it’s time to scalp that sucker and get rid of that brown winter look.

We put down some 1313-13 in March and the grass is waking up to a really good soil to feast on. In a couple of weeks, we’ll put down some 164-8 fertilizer to enhance root growth. One mistake we made a couple of years ago was overseeding perennial ryegrass and it battles the Bermuda and looks like a yard with weed spots. Not good. What’s also not good is the rising prices on fertilizer. ***** Obviously, now’s a good time to sell property in Howe as the local real estate market has never been this hot. However, it’s also a good time to buy property if you can because with the T.I. situation, it doesn’t appear that it will slow down.

Besides, if you have money sitting in a bank, it’s losing its value in record-setting fashion.

There’s money in dirt.

City of Howe to celebrate 150 years in September, planning underway

A meeting in April will determine the scope of the festivities for this year’s sesquicentennial for the City of Howe.

The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce is calling for members of the community to help in planning in what could be a week-long celebration of activities similar to the 1972 Centennial celebration that led up to homecoming.

The event is being planned for Sept. 12-17

during homecoming week. Current Howe Chamber President Monte Walker envisions activities that could include a homecoming parade, bonfire, Saturday night street dance, and other activities such as a Texas Hold’em tournament and dodgeball tournament.

The Centennial Chairman was Bob Walker.

His grandson will do the honors for the Sesquicentennial celebration.

Hayes battled out of trouble to get two strikeouts to end the fourth inning with runners on base. Pecina threw the final 28 pitches of the game allowing two runs on two walks and three strikeouts.

The Bulldogs collected 16 hits during the contest with Austin Haley leading the way with a 3-for-4 evening with two doubles and a triple. He scored two runs to add to his big night.

At the plate, Howe was led by Haley, who feasted on Warrior pitching. He went 3-for-4 with two runs scored.

Ethan Lopez also went 2-for-4.

Kaleb McNutt, Ethan Lopez, and Cooper Jones each had two hits and two runs scored. Garren Lankford scored three runs on two hits. Luke Lopez scored three runs on one hit and two bases on balls. Carson Daniels went 2-for-4 and Parker Pecina went 2 -for-3.

Just as in 2020, they are moving the setting of this classic Greek tragedy to a Viking/Game of Thrones vibe, which Ciani says is so much fun to play with in terms of set and costumes.

“We only have two students in the show this year that were in that production, so it really is an entirely different show as these kids bring so much different and new to the concept,” Ciani said.

One-Act is unlike sports playoffs as they don’t have a schedule to prepare for playoffs. Each competition is a “win or go home” scenario as the playoffs begin on day one. In order to advance, they must finish in the top three. Howe finished second at district which took place March 3 at Denison High School. Pottsboro finished first and Whitewright placed third.

At District, Catelyn Armstrong won Outstanding Technician for her work with our lights. Gabrielle Smith received Honorable Mention All Star Cast for her role as Teiresias. Riley Troxtell and Audie Martin received All Star Cast for their roles as Aide and Antigone. Ethan Strunc received Best Performer.

At bi-district on March 21, Howe took first place and advanced alongside Edgewood and Commerce who placed second and third, respectively.

Caleb Hix received Outstanding Technician for live drums while Audie Martin and Lucas Mitchell received Honorable Mention All Star Cast, and Ethen Strunc received Best Performer again.

Howe will compete at the area contest on Thursday, March 31 at 10:30 am at Grayson College.

Soup Scoop

Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson addressed the Board of Trustees on Monday night and informed them that the enrollment was 1,233 students for the month of February which was down one from January. Attendance was improved by 25 from January.

He received and accepted four resignations. Those were Mark Furgeson, Joe Overby, Tiffany Crossland, and Nicky

Hunt. He has hired Autumn McGlenn for the ESL Aid position.

Wilson applauded Darla Williams for her work on achieving compliance for the ISD on ESSR Howe ISD III. Superintendent Kevin Wilson

School board hears concerns from JV baseball parents Cassie Montgomery and Charity Riley each addressed the school board Monday night in regard to the abundance of players and lack of coaches among other items that relate to the high school baseball program. Montgomery began by stating she wanted to make it clear that they were not criticizing the baseball coaches which she said were doing the best they can with what they’ve been given.

“There are 36 athletes in baseball with two coaches. Compared to last year, that’s 10 more players and one less coach. Tryouts and cuts were not allowed,” said Montgomery who stated that initially two JV (junior varsity) teams were split into evenly talented teams which split the playing time in half of all players.

Montgomery said the JV games are already cut short with inning and time limits. She said a new plan has been created which will consist of a true “A” and “B” team which she was grateful for. She then stated that a third coach is needed and gave the ratio per athlete to coach in comparison to other sports.

“Just as our superintendent, we do believe it’s generous to not cut when it’s not necessary. For decades, Howes’ been able to honor that philosophy,” said Montgomery. “At some point it becomes a necessity to hold tryouts, manage your program num-

bers, benefit the players that earn the position, and prevent overwhelming and burning out your coaches.”

Montgomery stated that there was currently no policy currently outlining tryouts and used cheerleading as an example where cuts are made annually and high school basketball in a recent season.

Riley also spoke on the situation and said that the initial plan to make two JV teams and cutting the season in half had a significant impact on team morale.

“If we want these kids to be motivated and work hard, we cannot set them up for failure. They must be treated as if their games matter and their contribution is valuable. Which they do and it is,” said Riley. “These boys should be given every opportunity to win. I’m relieved that an attempt is now being made to course correct for the season rather than re-evaluate for next season.

I’m relieved, but I’m also disappointed for the kids and parents that were given certain expectations of playing time. This could have and should have been avoided from the beginning with fair tryouts and evaluation.”

Riley said her reason to come before the board and making it public record was to hopefully address the situation so that the same occurrence doesn’t happen a year from now.

them momentum heading into next week’s games with Whitewright and Pottsboro.

Howe lost to Bells on Tuesday, 9-3 as the Lady Bulldogs were held to only two hits on the evening. Chloe Scoggins singled and Payton Stapleton doubled. Howe’s three runs were all unearned as Bells committed three errors.

Riley Craven got the start in the circle for Howe and pitched four innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits.

She walked two and struck out three.

Railyn Murphy pitched the final two innings in relief and allowed no earned runs on three hits. She walked two and struck out one.

Howe took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Scoggins scored on a throwing error by Bells. The Lady Panthers rallied with a 3-spot in the third inning.

Howe’s second run came in the top of the fourth when Emery Snapp scored on throwing error by the Bells right fielder. Moments later, Kennadi Barrett scored on a Shelbee Taylor fielder’s choice.

Bells put up five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and added one more in the sixth.

Howe then hosted Leonard where Craven was electric fanning 13 Lady Ti-

gers over the seven innings pitched.

She allowed only two hits and one earned run.

At the plate, Taylor went 3-for-3 with a run scored while Scoggins collected two hits on the evening.

Howe trailed 2-0 in the second inning when both runs came off an error. The Lady Bulldogs finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth when Taylor scored on a fielder’s choice by Kamryn Snapp.

The game continued to be a nail-biter throughout as the Lady Bulldogs finally tied the game in the seventh inning when Kaitlyn Fuhr scored as Jocee McCullar reached on an error by the pitcher. With the bases loaded, Kamry Snapp was hit by a pitch, scoring the winning run by Mikayla Komorowski.

Howe will host Whitewright at 7pm on Tuesday and will travel to Pottsboro on Friday.

Monday morning, the Howe Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure in the 300 block of Walnut Street. Unit 22 arrived on the scene and found a one story residential structure with nothing

showing. Upon further investigation the cause of the smoke inside the home was from pot holders that were too hot and placed back into the drawer. There were no injuries involved.

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 Writers are often asked where their story ideas originate. It is a question that writers sometimes have trouble answering.

The final product Ken Bridges only comes from imagination and a lot of work. One of many great Texas writers, Robert E. Howard, had a significant cultural impact in a short career and certainly put in a lot of work. His publishing career lasted only 12 years, but he produced hundreds of stories. Guided by his imagination and love for storytelling, Howard became a popular writer, whose influence was felt far beyond his short life.

Robert Ervin Howard was born in January 1906 in Peaster, a tiny community west of Fort Worth. His father, Dr. Isaac M. Howard, was a physician. The family moved often but finally settled in the small town of Cross Plains, between Brownwood and Abilene, in 1919.

As a youngster, he absorbed the tales told to him, from ghost stories to folk tales to war stories from surviving Civil War veterans, and developed a great love of reading.

In particular, he enjoyed reading tales of ancient cultures and civilizations. By all accounts, he had an excellent memory and noticed details very easily, but he disliked authority and often had problems with his teachers. He decided at an early age to be a writer. By the age of 15, he was quickly writing stories and sending them off to various magazines in hopes of being published.

Like many young writers, he faced rejection after rejection for his stories.

He pushed forward nevertheless, propelled by his own faith in his writing and his love of storytelling.

He moved to nearby Brownwood in 1922 to complete high school. He began writing for the school newspaper where his first stories were published.

After graduation in spring 1923, he returned home and worked a series of odd jobs while trying to start his writing career. He briefly attended Howard Payne College in Brownwood.

In 1924, he sold his first story, the tale of a caveman called “Spear and Fang” for $16 in a magazine called Weird Tales. Over time, many of his short stories were published in Weird Tales, which included short stories and novellas from the most popular science fiction and horror writers of the day.

He enjoyed a warm correspondence with such famed writers of the times as horror novelist H. P. Lovecraft.

Howard said that he enjoyed the freedom that writing offered and sometimes labored at his stories for up to 18 hours per day. In 1932, he sold the first of his Conan stories, creating a series of stories based on a mythical barbarian. He created similar stories with other characters, either a king building and empire or a lone adventurer. Some of these tales took place in mythic lands while others took place in more modern times. His stories included tales of fantasy, horror, mystery, and westerns. His Steve Harrison series involved a detective and almost supernatural mysteries. By the mid-1930s, Howard was writing more western stories, including the bumbling cowboy Breckinridge Elkins and the more dramatic adventures of The Sonora Kid. Eventually, he was able to pull together a comfortable living from his stories.

Howard never married, but he did have a relationship with a local teacher, Novalyne Price.

Stories of his erratic behavior circulated, and biographers have sifted through his works trying to find clues as to his final months and years. The collapse of his mother’s health and her impending death deeply grieved him.

He was unable to cope with whatever internal demons continued to haunt him. In early June 1936, he bought a family cemetery plot in Brownwood and returned to his mother’s bedside. After she fell into a coma and after learning that she would not recover, Howard committed suicide.

He was 30 years old.

Years after his death, Howard’s works continued to enjoy a wide popularity, more than he ever had during his lifetime. Many manuscripts were found and later published. His works now appear in more than 20 languages around the world. Perhaps his most famous series became a series of movies starting with Conan the Barbarian, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, in 1982.

Novalyne Price herself later relocated to Louisiana where she enjoyed a long career as a teacher and a writer. She published three books, two of which were about her memories of Howard.

Her 1986 memoir of Howard, One Who Walked Alone, was adapted into the movie The Whole Wide World in 1996 with Vincent D’Onofrio and Texas actress Renee Zellweger.

Howard’s home in Cross Plains has since become a museum. Each June, the community hosts “Robert E. Howard Days,” a celebration of his works and impact on writing.

Living with children Q: When I give my 5-year-old daughter a chore, she does it, but all the while she is muttering under her breath, huffing John Rosemond and puffing, and so on. Do I discipline that behavior or just let her vent?

A: Let her vent! She may have a “bad attitude,” but she does what she is told. She’s just being petulant, which in this situation doesn’t qualify as misbehavior. It’s mere childishness. In fact, I would predict that if you began punishing her petulant outbursts, she might swing true rebellion. Count your blessings and leave this issue alone.

Q: I am a stepmother to three girls—ages 9, 10, and 11. My husband has custody. At our house, the kids have chores, rules, and consequences if they break the rules. When they go to their mom’s house, however, everything we try to teach them goes out the window. She has actually told them to lie to us, she has slept with her boyfriend while they are with her, buys them nearly everything they want, and so on. How do we combat this and not look like parenting Nazis?

A: The way to deal with this is to be true to your values and persist tenaciously in doing what you know is right. You cannot influence what goes on at their mother’s house, and if you make it your project to compensate for it, you may create problems and solve none. When a divorced parent (with or without a stepparent) raises children with a constant eye on what the exspouse is and isn’t doing, the divorced parent quickly loses a sense of clear

direction. The children, furthermore, almost inevitably feel themselves to be in the middle of an unstated, ongoing conflict between their parents. They’re likely, under the circumstances, to become angry and manipulative: a most undesirable combination. Do what you know is right, with a blind eye to the wrong.

Q: When I told him I was about to begin toilet training my 20-monthold daughter, my pediatrician said she was too young and recommended I hold off until she’s at least two-and-ahalf. I’m interested in your opinion.

I’m going ahead with it, by the way.

A: Good for you! The proper “season” for toilet training is between 18 and 24 months. In the 1950s, when training was still being done within that window, nearly 90 percent of children 24 months of age were fully trained and accident-free (study done

by Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford). The longer a parent waits past 24 months to begin training, the more problems the parent is going to have.

That’s clearly verified by the number of parents today who are waiting and then experiencing toilet training wars of one form or another. Obviously, your common sense is your best parenting asset. Keep on rockin’ in the free world!

Telling our worries and fears how big God is I was reminded today of the verse in Psalm 30 and the last part of verse five that say’s, “Weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the Dr. Billy Holland morning.” The analogy is implying there will be sadness during hard times but perseverance will be rewarded when the conflict is over. David, who is referred to in Acts 13:22 as a “man after God’s own heart” kept his eyes on the Lord.

When times were difficult, he cried out to Him in frustration; and when God was faithful, he lifted his voice in praise. The darkness has come to divide, conquer, steal, destroy, harm families, and tear down nations, but let us remember the devil must flee when you resist him in the name of Jesus Christ.

Many of you are worried about what is coming. Stand firm in your prayers, ask for discernment, and stay focused on God and His truth. The enemy has many disguises. Release the agape love within you as a strong defense against deception, as Christ in you is the hope of glory. Make sure your house is built on the rock. Now is not the time to become relaxed and distracted but rather to become more intense and passionate to draw near to God and to accomplish His mission.

Keep a journal of your visions along with your prayers, as maintaining a reverential fear of the Lord gives us confidence that He will protect and provide for us.

Let us be encouraged today by proclaiming that God is the highest authority. Think about that for a moment.

Try to fathom that everything we see He imagined and created. If we hold a marble in the palm of our hand and pretend it is the earth, and compare it with the size of the Sun, which is one of the billions of small stars, our sun could hold over one million marbles.

If we lay a quarter on the ground and pretend it is the sun, and make a comparison in size to the other billions of larger-sized stars, we would need to measure a circle with a circumference

of 20 feet. Can you imagine what Heaven will be like? With trillions of stars and millions of galaxies, our human mind cannot comprehend the majestic authority and unlimited power of the one who spoke everything into existence. Step outside tonight and look up into the sky, He has demonstrated and proven that His ability truly has no limit. Here is a thought even more overwhelming, He loves you and desires to save you and help you.

Allow me to say dear friends, if you believe your problems are too big or your enemy is too powerful for the Lord to take care of, then your concept of God is much too small. He is ElShaddai, the God that is more than enough to take care of anything you would ever need. The only thing the devil ever created is fear and anxiety, but thank God we have a greater reality which is our spiritual understanding that He is the Alpha and Omega who desires to fill us with His hope and peace. May it be a personal revelation to stop telling God how big your problems are and to start telling your problems how big God is.

“Heavenly Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters and ask that you put your arms around them. Many of them are tired and weary from trying to stand against the darkness of this world. Please give them an extra measure of faith with their shield as they continue praying against principalities and the ruler’s of evil. Give them peace as they rest in your presence and wipe away their tears and encourage them with the joy of your truth. You provided redemption and desire to set us free. Give us wisdom and discernment to know how to prepare for what is coming. Bless them with good health and multiply their prosperity that they may be able to have the resources they need. As they surrender their will to you, fill them with your nature and character. Empower and anoint them with your Holy Spirit as they fulfill their destiny and accomplish your will. Give them an understanding of Agape love, as it is our highest calling. We ask these things for your honor and glory, in your holy name, amen.”

From the EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden Bio Firm Partnered 45th With Ukrainian Researchers President of ‘Isolating Deadly Pathogens’ the United Using Funds From Obama’s States Defense Department.

by Natalie Winters, Raheem J. Kassam— The National Pulse An investment firm directed by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden was a leading financial backer of a pandemic tracking and response firm that collaborated on identifying and isolating deadly pathogens in Ukrainian laboratories, receiving funds from the Obama administration’s Department of Defense in the process, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) – a subsidiary of the Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz-founded Rosemont Capital – counted both Biden and Heinz as managing directors. Heinz is the stepson of former U.S. Secretary of State and current Climate czar John Kerry.

Amongst the companies listed on archived versions of the RSTP’s portfolio is Metabiota – an ostensibly San Franciscobased company that purports to detect, track, and analyze emerging infectious diseases.

Financial reports reveal that RSTP led the company’s first round of funding in 2015, which amounted to $30 million.

Former managing director and co-founder of RSTP Neil Callahan – a name that also appears many times on Hunter Biden’s hard drive – sits on Metabiota’s Board of Advisors alongside former Clinton official Rob Walker who discussed, in another unearthed Hunter Biden hard drive e-mail, reaching out to the Obama Department of Defense with regard to Metabiota.

In July 2021, The National Pulse exclusively revealed the connection between Metabiota,

Hunter Biden, and the pandemic-linked EcoHealth Alliance which worked closely with Anthony Fauci’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and the notorious Wuhan laboratory.

Today, we can exclusively reveal an official connection between the Biden-linked pandemic firm and biological laboratories based in Ukraine.

In early March we revealed how these labs were handling “especially dangerous pathogens” through programs funded by the U.S. government. The potential for such entities to fall into the hands of invading Russian forces has come under hotly disputed scrutiny in recent weeks.

‘Zoonotic Diseases’ A feature in the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine’s (STCU) 2016 Annual Report recounts a “Trilateral Meeting with Ukraine, Poland, and the United States Regional Collaboration on Biological Security, Safety, and Surveillance.”

The article describes in particular an October 2016 meeting involving U.S. military officials and their Ukrainian counterparts discussing “cooperation in surveillance and prevention of especially dangerous infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases in Ukraine and neighboring countries.”

In attendance were representatives from the Biden -linked Metabiota, roughly one year after

"A Radical Left lawyer who works with Chuck Schumer’s brother at a Democrat law firm is upset the District Attorney of New York has not yet pursued phony charges against President Trump. It’s troubling how politicized our justice system has become, where Democrats are loaned out to gin up crimes against their political opponents. President Trump built a great business, and did nothing wrong. New York should get back to solving their skyrocketing crime problem, rather than spending so much time and energy on partisan witch hunts.

"On top of everything else, their firm represents the DNC, Democrats, and is Hillary Clinton’s law firm. This is disgraceful behavior and how somebody like that and others from his firm can be let loose to become prosecutors of a great Republican President is disgraceful. So bad, in fact, that professional prosecutors resigned in protest of this presidential persecution.

They thought it was very unfair. Will this Radical Left law firm be held legally accountable for what they have done?" Liz Harrington, spokesperson for Donald J. Trump.

World awakening and silent war

By Brian Cates—

In the not so distant future, the liberal ideology will be viewed as a horrific stain on human history. Future generations will ask how people fell for this madness. Just as we find it insane that the Nazis were a well supported socialist political party in 1920s-40s Germany.

I was born on a military base in Germany. I was too young to remember anything, but my parents told me relevant information via their experiences with Germans in the 90s. The people of Germany simply refuse to address the reality that the Nazis had support from the masses. They don’t talk about it. You’re not allowed to bring it up. Everyone just pretends like it never happened.

This will be the same fate of the modern day liberal/democrat. All of them will be disturbed that they were manipulated into trusting these evil people and most of them will refuse to admit they ever voted Democrat.

Uranium, oil and technology: How Russia got stronger as Bidens and Clintons got richer

After all the crimes are brought to light and somewhat digested by the masses, the DNC will be abolished just as the Nazi party was abolished in 1945 by the Allied Control Council. Which was followed by International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg.

malization of transgenderism, pedophilia, and wokeness, to mass censorship and Orwellian surveillance, to medical tyranny, to the disregard of basic biology; these themes are being amplified. So when the time comes the DNC to be abolished, so will follow the ideologies that accompany the DNC. Along with the tyrannical leftist movements in other countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, UK.

This is about destroying the globalist ideology for good. And I must say, it’s working to perfection.

The stage is set, now it’s time for execution. Figuratively and literally. *****

By Brian Cates— It turns out that WEC did not follow through with its stated commitment to CISA’s guidelines for drop box security. Open records requests confirmed that there was no drop box surveillance video available for review in any municipality in Wisconsin except Brown Deer. So True the Vote shifted to commercially available cell phone data.

The group used cutting edge “geo-fence” technology able to track cell phones within “a few inches.” To put the sophistication of the technology into perspective, Phillips quoted Georgetown law professor Paul Ohm, who said, “DNA is the only thing harder to anonymize than precise geolocation data.”

Hunter’s investment funds put cash into the company. Attendees also included: * US Department of Defense [Defense Threat Reduction Agency] (DTRA) (K. Garrett, G. Braunstein, W. Sosnowski, and J. Wintrol); *Black & Veatch and Metabiota corporations (D. Mustra, Dr. M. Guttieri, S. Anderson, T. Borth and others); *Curtis “BJ” Bjelajac, Executive Director, and Vlada Pashynska, Senior Specialist represented the STCU. “The meeting focused on existing frameworks, regulatory coordination, and ongoing cooperative projects in research, surveillance and diagnostics of a number of dangerous zoonotic diseases, such as avian influenza, leptospirosis, Crimea Congo hemorrhagic fever, and brucellosis,” explains the summary: A separate page from the STCU website details another meeting between Metabiota representatives, Ukrainian scientists, and U.S. Department of Defense officials aimed at increasing collaboration while attending a Swine Fever workshop just months later: “In the framework of the workshop, special breakout meetings of Ukrainian scientists with their European and American counterparts were jointly organized by the STCU, DTRA and Metabiota Inc.. During those breakout meetings, specialists from each country worked to establish effective contacts in order to encourage future cooperation, as well as to identify future scientific projects with Ukrainian and western veterinary institutions in the area of ASF control and investigation.”

Government contracts also corroborate the working relationship between Metabiota, Ukrainian laboratories, and the U.S. Defense Department, with the firm receiving an $18.4 million grant from the U.S. agency in 2014. A total of $307,091, allocated to Metabiota on Sep-

tember 25th, was itemized for “Ukraine research projects.”

Several scientific papers – including those isolating strains of deadly pathogens like “virulent African Swine Fever Virus” – appear to have been published following the grant. A 2019 paper titled “Complete Genome Sequence of a Virulent African Swine Fever Virus from a Domestic Pig in Ukraine” was authored by researchers from Metabiota and three Ukraine-based institutes.

The researchers, whose work is described as being “funded by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) through the Biological Threat Reduction Program in Ukraine,” isolated the strain of the deadly virus using a pig from Ukraine: “Tissue samples were collected from a domestic pig from ASF outbreak number 131 in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, in 2016.

The samples were frozen, and total DNA was extracted in duplicate from spleen tissue using the PowerMicrobiome RNA isolation kit (Mo Bio) following the manufacturer’s protocol.”

‘Anthrax’ Furthermore, a 2014 paper “Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Livestock Anthrax in Ukraine During the Past Century (1913-2012)” lists an author, Artem Skrypnyk, then affiliated with a Ukraine-based branch of the pandemic firm.

“Our primary objective was to examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of the disease and identify areas where anthrax may persist in the present day,” posits the paper.

“Examining the historical epizootiology of a disease can identify the geographic extent of environmental foci, define areas prone to repeat outbreaks, and lead to a better understanding of natural disease cycles.”

Skrypnyk is also listed as a Metabiota scientist in other papers including “Dynamics of anthrax cases in Ukraine during 1970-2013,” “Anthrax in Dogs,” and “Serological

Anthrax Surveillance in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) in Ukraine.”

One paper aimed “to better understand anthrax epizootiology in Ukraine,” collecting samples from anthrax hotspots with funds from the U.S. DTRA’s Cooperative Biological Engagement Program in Ukraine.

“We tested wild boar serum samples collected across Ukraine for antibodies to B. anthracis and determined whether exposed boars were associated with livestock anthrax hotspots,” explains the paper.

Skrypnyk, the Metabiota -affiliated researcher, worked as Veterinary Project Coordinator for the Biden-linked firm before moving on to serve in his current role of Technical Officer for Laboratories for the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, two researchers – Nataliya Mykhaylovska and Bradford Raymond Brooks – are listed as Ukraine-based Metabiota researchers in a paper titled “Implementation of a Regional Training Program on African Swine Fever As Part of the Cooperative Biological Engagement Program across the Caucasus Region.”

The aforementioned paper even references a Metabiota office in Ukraine’s capital city of Kiev, whose existence appears to be corroborated by a summary of the company’s operational structure.

“The company’s international footprint includes operations in 20 countries and offices in San Francisco, Washington, Ukraine, China, Canada, and Sierra Leone,” explains the summary.

Additionally, LinkedIn profiles of former Metabiota employees detail the work conducted by the company’s Kyiv outpost.

Former Country Science Manager for Eastern Europe David Mustra explains how he “manga [ed] Metabiota’s team of twelve UkrainianNational personnel” and served as “the Biosurveillance and Research Manager for Metabiota’s

work as a subcontractor, under the direction of prime contractor Black & Veatch (B&V), on the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) Biological Threat Reduction Integrating Contract (BTRIC) – Ukraine.”

He also explains how the company liaised with “Government of Ukraine officials” from agencies including the Ministry of Defense.

Another Metabiota employee – Dr. Petro Mutovkin – who served as a Human Biosurveillance Specialist and Project Manager from 2015 to 2016 reveals his role in “facilitating activities within US Department of Defence Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) in Ukraine” on his LinkedIn profile.

“Laboratory facility assessment, laboratory diagnostic and BS&S training, [and] biological

risk assessment and mitigation” are among the other tasks he engaged in.

The revelation surrounding President Joe Biden’s son’s financial involvement with Ukrainian biological laboratories experimenting with pathogens, animals, and anthrax follows The National Pulse unearthing Metabiota’s ties to EcoHealth Alliance, a key entity in the origins of COVID-19 and cover-up efforts.

as, Wisconsin, Detroit, Michigan, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In Wisconsin, the group looked at 1.1 trillion signals (representing 421K unique devices, 20TB of data) during the period from 10/1 - 11/8, which encompassed several weeks before early voting began on 10/20. This allowed True the Vote to build a pre-election “pattern of life” to help identify the ballot trafficking mules.

The team then narrowed down the surveillance to individuals that visited at least 5 NGO offices and 26 drop boxes during the early voting period (a pattern that was contrary to their previous daily activity); 138 people in Milwaukee, Racine, and Green Bay fit that profile.

These individuals made 3,568 visits to drop boxes during the 2020 election.

Philips noted that 14 of these traffickers also participated in one or more of the violent riots in Wisconsin in 2020. ***** Joe Biden calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be 'deposed'. He made a direct appeal to the Russian people during a speech in Warsaw, where he had met for talks with high-ranking Ukrainian officials on Saturday.

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in

power,” Biden declared at the end of an emotionally overwrought speech in the Polish capital’s Royal Castle. While he has previously denounced Putin as a “war criminal” and a “dictator,” and lobbed at him all manner of other geopolitical insults, this was his first recorded demand that the president be removed from office. ***** At Supreme Court Nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asked the Supreme Court nominee: “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” Jackson, appearing confused, responded, "I’m not a biologist.”

Later, USA Today published—”Scientists agree there is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman.” ***** President Donald Trump announced on Thursday he is suing Hillary Clinton and several other Democrats on the grounds that they attempted to rig the 2016 presidential election by creating a false narrative that tied his campaign to Russia.

"President Trump is going on offense. He's naming names," Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington told "Just the News - Not Noise" hours after the lawsuit was first

announced.

"He's going after these liars who tried to rig the 2016 election. And when they failed with the fake Russia collusion hoax, when they failed to stop President Trump from winning the presidency, they used it to spy on him to try to derail his presidency and his administration," she said. ***** Activist Disney employees upset over the company's initial lack of opposition to Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill called a job walkout for Tuesday — only to see more employees turn out to protest in California than in the Sunshine State.
