Howe celebrates Christmas in style Letters to Santa

The Christmas parade went off without a hitch unlike in 2022 when it was postponed a week due to rain which led to a flood of cancellations from participants. Maybe it’s a sign that 2024 will go much more smoothly in Howe than did 2023. Howe City Council meetings are hard to watch, but once again we can thank Gunter for always taking things to the next level. The UIL released the sports realignment numbers last week. The Howe Bulldogs football program will remain in 3A Division II for another two years. Howe barely snuck just under the cutoff by three students. At least for two more years, Coach Lance Bryan and his young and upcoming Bulldog squad cannot have to have district mates such as Mount Vernon, Winnsboro, Mineola, and Commerce. The district will more than likely look similar to what it has been for the past two years. In all other sports, Howe will remain in Class 3A in about the middle of the pack as far as enrollment size.

He read “The Night Before Christmas” to a large audience. Individuals then had a chance to have their picture with Santa and tell him what they wanted.

Everyone got cookies and could make a card or a snowman. It was a delight for all that attended. The Howe Community Library would like to thank Dale Rideout and the Friends of the Library for helping to make this event possible.

The local girls have won six of their last seven contests and took third place in the Era Tournament over the weekend. Howe is now averaging 42.6 points per game while only allowing their opponents 34.00. During the week, Howe beat Collinsville 55-48, Valley View 54-20, and Sacred Heart 54-28. The Lady Bulldogs’ only loss in the tournament came to Class 4A Burkburnett in a 38-36 nail-biter. In Howe’s win over Collinsville, Presley Shockey had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. She also added two steals to her performance. Kendall Griffin led the Lady Bulldogs in points with 20 while adding six rebounds and three steals. Other scorers were Emery Snapp (6), Aubrielle West (5), Reese Smith (5), Matalee Stewart (4), and Tori Williams (3). Against Valley View, Griffin again led

the way with 18 points while Shockey tallied 12. Shockey led Howe with six rebounds also. Other scorers were West (6), Snapp (5), Stewart (5), Smith (3), Addison Bond (3), and Williams (2). In the loss to Burkburnett, Howe had eight rebounds each from Griffin, Shockey, and Snapp. Griffin was the only player to break double digits as she put up 14 in the contest. Other scorers were Smith (6), Williams (5), Shockey (4), Bond (3), Snapp (3), and West (1). Bond led Howe with 15 points in Howe’s win over Sacred Heart. Griffin followed her with 12 of her own along with five assists and two rebounds. Other scorers were West (8), Smith (6), Snapp (5), Stewart (5), and Williams (3). The Lady Bulldogs are off Tuesday and will begin district play Friday night in Bonham.

The Howe Bulldogs (7-4) went 3-2 during the week playing against high caliber teams in higher classification. The record may be the same as in 2022 after 11 games, but Howe’s schedule is nowhere near what it was a year ago. The Bulldogs opened the week with a 58-47 loss to Class 4A Gainesville who moved to 14-0 on the season. Howe never had a lead at any point in the game but did manage to claw back and tie it up midway through the third period at 24-24. But the Leopards went on a 19-4 run that took the wind out of the Bulldogs’ sails. Jacob Campbell led Howe with 17 points and Noah Riley contributed 12 points and a team-leading eight rebounds. Other scorers for Howe were Parker Dunnihoo (14), Kaleb Taylor (2), and Cooper Jones (2). Entering the tournament, Howe led off with Showtime Australia where the Dogs trailed by as much as 22-10 in the second period. However, Head Coach Jay Forsyth rallied his troops to finish out the game on a 49-26 pace to close out the win. Campbell was again the leading scorer with 23 points and Riley ripped down 12 rebounds. Howe took advantage of three 3pointers by Anthony Lowder in the comeback. He finished with 11 points. Other scorers were Dunnihoo (12), Riley (7), Talan Haley (3), Jones (2), and Taylor (1).

Howe’s next opponent was Mabank where they came out on top 55-43 and never trailed during the game. Campbell had 33 points in the win to go along with 10 rebounds. Howe also took advantage of Taylor inside game with eight rebounds. Other scorers were Lowder (9), Dunnihoo (5), Riley (5), and Taylor (3). The Dogs would face the eventual tournament champion Life Waxahachie in what came down to the eventual two best teams in the tournament. Howe lost to the dynamic squad 5130. Riley’s eight points led the Dogs as Campbell was held to five. Dunnihoo also was limited to five and Lowder’s two 3-pointers gave him six. Taylor added four to round out the scoring. In the fight for third place, Howe took on North Lamar and came out with a 57-44 win where Howe’s leading scorer Campbell got back on track with 16 points. Jones contributed 11 points while Dunnihoo added another 10 and Riley finished with nine. Other scorers were Lowder (5), and Taylor (4). Howe will host Callisburg on Tuesday at home and travel to Henrietta on Friday and play in the Henrietta Tournament over the weekend before starting district play at home against Pottsboro on December 19. The Bulldogs are scoring 50.45 per game this season while allowing 47.55.

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 In the 1960s, the United States entered a new era of exploration as NASA began sending astronauts into space. It took Ken Bridges the combined efforts of thousands of people to make each mission successful. The direction from the ground was critical given the complexity of spaceflight and how the slightest mistake could be fatal. Chris Kraft served as NASA flight director for these early missions, becoming a revered figure in Houston and across the nation. He was born Christopher Columbus Kraft, the namesake of his father, in what is now Hampton, Virginia, in 1924. He grew up in the coastal community and in the shadow of the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, established by the federal government just a few years before he was born as a center to design and test aircraft. When he graduated high school in 1942, several months after the United States entered World War II, he attempted to enlist in the navy just as many other men his age were doing. Kraft hoped to become a pilot, but a burn injury from his childhood caused him to be rejected for the service altogether. Instead, he enrolled at Virginia Tech and graduated with a degree in aeronautical engineering in two years. Kraft initially hoped to move away from Hampton, but in 1944, he won a position with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics which promptly assigned him to the Langley Research Center. President Dwight D. Eisenhower transformed NACA into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958. Kraft was then chosen as one of 35 engineers to design what became the Mercury program, the first American manned space mission. The group tasked Kraft with designing the flight program – organizing the launch, flight, and landing of the space capsules. In the process, he became the first flight director. He oversaw a team of engineers and realized that the complexity of the equipment would require rigorous testing and then constant monitoring during flight as well as a team of experts to correct any problems. The seven Mercury missions between 1961 and 1963 put a small one-man capsule into low orbit. Kraft made sure nothing was left to chance. He quickly developed a reputation for precision and perfection. He personally oversaw each detail of each mission. But as demanding as he was, he also fostered an environment of trust. In the end, the craft and the missions were so complicated that the astronaut, flight director, and the army of engineers behind it all had to trust one another. Because he

insisted on having the last word with any aspect of the mission, he often clashed with senior NASA administrators and astronauts. In spite of the preparation and expertise, each mission had special problems that could have turned these flights into deadly tragedies. The coordination that Kraft developed inspired the creative thinking and expert analyses needed to avoid disaster. The Gemini and Apollo missions required a more advanced flight control center, leading to the creation of what is now the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston in 1963. Kraft joined the move and became a permanent resident. With the continuing success of the space program, Kraft became almost as famous as the astronauts themselves. In 1966, his home town of Hampton, Virginia, named its new elementary school in his honor. NASA moved him into more senior positions with the Apollo lunar missions. Ultimately, NASA promoted him to director of the Manned Spacecraft Center in 1972. In the 1970s, Kraft helped develop the conceptual design for the space shuttle. With NASA reaching new heights in manned exploration, the shuttle seemed the next logical step. Kraft and others at NASA fully believed that lunar exploration would become increasingly common and that the shuttle would bring astronauts to a future orbiting space station. Then other craft would take them to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA projected it would send men to Mars by 1985 before a wave of budget cuts ended lunar landings after 1972. In spite of the cutbacks, Kraft kept NASA’s focus on the mission of exploration. He oversaw the first four shuttle launches in 1981 and 1982, inspiring many Americans with the nation’s return to manned flight. The success of the shuttle missions showed the importance of astronomical discoveries and the importance of studying the effects of zero gravity environments. By 1982, he decided it was time to retire from NASA. Still only 58 years old, Kraft worked for several years as a consultant. He also worked for the Houston Chamber of Commerce. Kraft spent several years travelling and speaking about space exploration. He wrote his autobiography, Flight: My Life in Mission Control in 2001, reflecting on the development of the space program and his thoughts about its future. In 2011, NASA renamed the flight control room at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center after him. Though he had never been a pilot or astronaut himself, the Aviation Hall of Fame inducted him in 2016. He died in Houst in July 2019 at age 95.

Does the sin we commit in secret only hurt us? The sin of Achan found in Joshua 6:1719 is a powerful example of how one person committing evil in private can negatively affect Dr. Billy Holland their family, church congregation, or place of employment. “Now brother, what people do is their own business and it has nothing to do with me. If people want to cheat others, or lie, curse, and steal, or watch porn, what’s that to me?” I can tell you what God’s word says about it. Being dedicated to others through the bond of our word, and especially if we are a spiritual family bound together in a sacred covenant with God, our association with them means we represent them and we are accountable for our attitudes and actions. Listen to this story found in Joshua chapter 6 and how what this one man did in secret became devastating to those he loved and everyone he was committed with. Israel had just conquered the city of Jericho in an amazing display of God’s power and favor. The Lord had instructed Israel to not take any of the spoils of war for themselves but to devote “everything” to God. Very specific and when God makes a command He is not just kidding around. Remember Lot’s wife was told to not turn around and look at the city as they were fleeing. She did and turned into a pillar of salt. Anyway, during the heat of battle, Achan saw an opportunity to make a few bucks, so he took a fancy garment, 200 shekels of silver, (about $300.00 in today’s value), and a wedge of gold (worth about $25,000.00 today) and buried it in his tent. No one saw what he did, and he did not even tell his family. How many parents and church members have secret sins hidden in their closets that no one knows about, all the while acting like everything is fine? The next battle was with a small city called AI which should have been an easy victory, yet Israel’s army became paralyzed with fear and in the chaos, thirty-six of their soldiers were killed. Wives lost their husbands and children

lost their fathers. Joshua and the elders fell on their faces and cried out to God because they did not understand what in the world had happened. God said that someone had disobeyed His orders and that He had withdrawn His blessing and favor in this military confrontation. This was not just an individual crime, it was a national sin that affected everyone. The sin of one part was the sin of the whole. When one succeeded they all were victorious, but when one failed, they all failed. Do you believe this “one body” analogy is still true today? We should also notice that God was personally involved. It was, after all, His nation. Today we see that it’s also His church, and the way His people conduct their lives is of intense concern to Him. This story contains a clear illustration of sin’s leavening effect also mentioned in Galatians 5:9. This wicked deed was not just going away. Until a correction was made, the damage was increasing. The Lord told Joshua what to do and through a lengthy process of investigating, Achan was brought before Joshua, and he confessed what he had done. He had stolen from the Lord. Joshua sent servants to dig them up and the items were brought before him and all the congregation became a witness. What was the sentence? Here is chapter 7 and verses 24-26. “And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? The Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones and burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones. And they raised over them a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore that place was called, The valley of Achor, and is unto this day.” Does this story bother you? It does me. Next week we will discuss more about secret sin and whether God has become more lenient in His discipline. Dr. Holland is a Christian minister, author, and community chaplain.

The Patriot Pony

Bohemian Grove & The Elite Mandalay Camp

What I witnessed at the FBI will be the agency's Waterloo

Part 1: A soon to be revealed, British "Ultra Elite" with ties to The Biden Crime Family, is a frequent VIP Guest of Mandalay Camp.

Why does eroded trust in the FBI matter?

Within the borders of the heavily guarded Bohemian Grove, lies a slew of hidden “Camps”. Although this, in and of itself, is not breaking news, there’s never been any publicly available imagery of what these camps look like - that is, until now. The Bohemian Club was founded in 1872’s San Francisco, as a gathering place for men, who like the arts and literature. Todays City Clubhouse is located in a six-story masonry building at the corner of Post Street and Taylor Street, two blocks west of Union Square, and on the same block as both the Olympic Club and the Marines Memorial Club. The clubhouse contains dining rooms, meeting rooms, a bar, a library, an art gallery, a theater, and guest rooms. The Official website states: “membership is composed of professionals and semi-professionals in the arts as well as individuals with a purely avocational interest. The Club is social in nature and purpose with its focus on the fine and performing arts and literature. All members are strongly encouraged to participate in the activities of the Club, be it as a writer, a chorus member, a stagehand, or participant”. As we all know, only a select few are ever granted access to the hallowed grounds of “The Grove”. In a 2005 publication by Joel v.d. Reijden, most of the known camps were listed and there are well over 100 of them within The Grove. Each one has it’s own theme and focus.

The members who visit, are put into specific camps, based on the influence they have within their field of study, work or political affiliation. So, we have Mandalay Camp being one of them. Reijden’s publication stated: “One way to look at the camps, was to look at the wealth it represented. In 1991, the camp with by far the highest corporate stock value was Uplifters ($22B), followed by Silverado Squatters ($2.5B), Highlanders ($1.5B), Friends of the Forest ($950M), Jinks Band ($720M), Hill Billies ($600M), Mandalay ($550M) and Caveman ($400M)”. “However, the camp with historically the largest number of key globalist figures is Mandalay, which has included Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, the Bechtel family, and Bechtel partners/ employees as the Kaisers, George Shultz and former CIA director John McCone. Andrew Knight of Rothschilds, Bank of America chiefs Samuel Armacost and Rudolph Peterson were situated here. Michael Armacost is another major recognizable globalist”. Keep in mind, these numbers were from over three decades ago. We’re talking hundreds of Billions of dollars of influence here! As you may have seen on our Telegram and X accounts, we were sent exclusive images via a whistleblower, that were taken inside the very exclusive Mandalay Camp. The camp sits inside a narrow ravine, in amongst the ancient towering redwoods. It’s cabins are built into the steep ridge and are accessed via (Continued on page 17)

By James Gagliano Fox News Americans are losing trust and confidence in the FBI and this directly impacts national security. A staggering 63 percent view the bureau negatively -and the reasons are hidden in plain sight. Over the past few years, valid criticisms have been leveled at the partisan decision-making within upper echelons of FBI leadership. Dating back to the 2016 Trump-Russia sham investigation, heavy-handed overcharging of Trump campaign surrogates, blatantly uneven treatment of right-wing and left-wing protesters and rioters, labeling angry parents speaking out at school board meetings as "domestic terror" concerns, aiding Big Tech’s 2020 election suppression of information, seeming disinterest in Hunter Biden laptop revelations and Biden family’s obvious influencepeddling schemes, and a laughably absurd Richmond division intelligence product warning of "radicaltraditionalist Catholics," the FBI has raised eyebrows. Many retired FBI agents – to include this author – have long caveated criticisms of the FBI by maintaining the bias and partiality concerns are related to certain FBI senior executives. We then justifiably laud the hard work and faithful service of the vast majority of the men and women who comprise the street-level, case-working special agents. Yet, it is becoming exceedingly more difficult to separate large swaths of FBI rank and file from its questionable leadership. Retired FBI Criminal Division Assistant Director Chris Swecker recently outlined why it is no longer just FBI headquarters executives who are radically transforming the bureau and skewing it leftward. Swecker acknowledges the culpability of the FBI’s current recruitment processes: CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION FBI director in the hot seat after memo against CatholicsVideo "There has been a seismic shift in the [FBI] culture…[I]n comes [FBI director] Jim Comey and he basically parachutes all these DOJ political appointees into the FBI and slowly the culture shifts over Comey’s tenure and then under [FBI director] Chris Wray it’s accelerated because I think the type of recruit they’re bringing in is more opinionated, more idealistic, more liberal, highly educated, more Ivy League, and they tend to not just follow the facts, they tend to insert their own ideologies, their own opinions because the indoctrination that’s taking place in the schools these days – if you’re virtuous and you’re highly educated, you do everyone else’s thinking for them. You can decide that President Trump is not

fit to be president, therefore we need to go after him. You can decide that domestic terrorists only exist on the right side of the political aisle, not on the left side of the political aisle. You can pick winners and losers…It’s no longer ‘Let’s just follow the facts.’ I’m going to say that’s at the highest levels of the FBI…but I think it’s beginning to percolate down to the street level [rank and file agents] as well." The FBI proclaims that diversity remains "at the core of [its] mission." Same preferred diversity of which American universities clamor – race, gender, sexual orientation – all while seemingly avoiding diversity in thought. Recall that the U.S. Supreme Court last June struck down affirmative action – race-conscious admissions policies – at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. Yet, liberal groupthink continues to pervade Harvard’s campus. Its incoming freshman class contains 65 percent who identify as liberal/progressive and just eight percent who identify as conservative, with 53 percent who identify as Democrat and six percent as Republican. FBI INTERVIEWED PRIEST, CHURCH CHOIR DIRECTOR AHEAD OF ANTI-CATHOLIC MEMO, HOUSE GOP FINDS And while the FBI does not proudly promote its legacy of quotas, they have been a part of its diversification efforts dating back to at least the 1980s. A solidly conservative (and Caucasian) agent population rightly needed to be adjusted to better reflect the nation’s population. But at what cost? Ultimately, it translated into a system of racial preferences that unfairly rewarded less-qualified applicants for the color of their skin or gender. Certainly, no meritocracy. J. Edgar Hoover, the father of the FBI, was born in 1895. Hoover hired James Wormley Jones, a WWI veteran who in 1919 became the FBI’s first African -American special agent. This was some 29 years before President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, leading to desegregation of U.S. Armed Forces. Yet in 2015, a handful of FBI agents complained about a "wax-like, life-size figure of J. Edgar Hoover" positioned within the New York division’s museum. What was the reflexive decision by FBI headquarters public affairs office? Immediately remove the "offensive" statue so as not to "trigger" some fragile agent. The Washington Post characterized it thusly: "The decision to oust Hoover, who was the FBI director for 48 years and served under ten presidents, is something of a cultural moment for the bureau. Once revered among FBI agents, Hoover is no longer universally admired at the crime-fighting organ(Continued on page 17)

The Patriot Pony

Alex Jones worried Deep State will assassinate Trump and one other leader… nure, right?

What’s the Deep State’s next move to remove President Trump from the picture? Well, Plan A appears to involve multiple attempts to imprison him, but it’s becoming increasingly evident that this strategy is backfiring, actually boosting President Trump’s popularity. So, what’s Plan B? As for Joe Biden, the Democrats are facing a massive conundrum: how do they dispose of him? The polls clearly show that they can’t head into the official 2024 general election with the burden of this unpopular figure hanging around their necks like a bag of ma-

As of now, Biden’s reported approval rating stands at 37 percent, which may seem surprisingly high given his dismal performance. So, what’s the Deep State’s game plan for addressing these two massive political problems? Well, during a recent appearance on Tucker’s show, Alex Jones expressed concerns that he knows what the Deep State has in mind for both President Trump and Biden: assassination. Tucker has also expressed concern about the possibility of the Deep State orchestrating an assassination of President Trump. Sadly, it appears to be their only remaining option. They’ve previously attempted to use a pandem-

ization he built…Today’s agents and other employees dislike the history he represents…" The FBI Director Is Keeping Mum Video That same year, I also witnessed firsthand the FBI’s shift away from objective resource allocation and "calling things what they were" when Barack Obama’s "wing man," Attorney General Eric Holder, compelled Comey’s FBI to resist accurate description of terror attacks by "radical Islamists" in exchange for more nebulous depictions of our efforts in "combating violent extremism." Contrast that muted downplaying of the Muslim perpetrators of the vast majority of worldwide terror attacks with how DOJ treated the January 6th "insurrectionists" and angry parents at school board meetings -- compared again to 2020 ANTIFA and BLM anarchists and rioters. The FBI has also been accused by a whistleblower of artificially-inflated domestic terrorism data as pertains to rightwing groups. Certainly, appears one-sided and partisan, no? A majority of Americans distrust the FBI because of the appearance of partiality and bias. It is the demonstrably different manner certain investigations are conducted, dependent upon whether the target is an R or a D. Even the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) – which purports to represent active and retired agents – has taken a perceptible

leftward lurch in its advocacy. The FBIAA saluted controversial and embattled immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci by presenting him its 2020 "Distinguished Service Award," and its then-president tweeted that U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s death was a "killing" based upon deployment to Capitol on January 6, 2021. According to the medical examiner, Sicknick died of "natural causes." Most egregiously, the FBIAA awarded $100 gift cards to FBI agents who shamefully knelt in solidarity with – or fear of – the mob of BLM protestors (and rioters) who descended upon Washington, D.C. in the wake of George Floyd’s death in the Summer of 2020. These examples prove that bias hasn’t only permeated the top of the FBI. It has also infected segments of the special agent population. As the ideological underpinnings of FBI recruits continue to swing leftward, FBI leadership needs to remain ever more vigilant to ensure trust and confidence in FBI’s impartiality is not further degraded. Why does eroded trust in the FBI matter? Because part of the business is securing trust of crime victims, investigative targets, and the American public – as they all serve as the agency’s "eyes and ears." As calls to do away with the FBI grow louder, the FBI needs to heed these warnings. We need the FBI. But it can’t continue to whistle past the graveyard, refusing to embrace necessary reforms. To do otherwise will serve as the agency’s Waterloo.

ic and sham imprisonment to eliminate Trump, so what else is left? World War III or an assassination attempt loom as the most ominous possibilities. This situation is far from a laughing matter; it’s profoundly serious and unsettling. Unfortunately, it reflects the alarming level of corruption and rot that has infiltrated our government.

At least 5,600 federal-only ballots cast inArizona 2020 election without US citizenship proof Arizona is “one of the only states to have bifurcated elections,” said former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright.

By Natalia Mittelstadt More than 5,600 federal-only ballots were cast in the 2020 presidential election in Arizona, without proof of U.S. citizenship required by the voters who cast them, according to data from the state's counties. Arizona is a state with the unusual situation of bifurcated elections, in which residents who provide proof of U.S. citizenship can vote in all elections while the others may vote only in federal elections, resulting in ballots cast by voters who haven’t proven their U.S. citizenship.

smooth winding pathways, that lead to a multitude of stairways and balconies, that connect the cabins into a cluster of ‘potential mistakes’, and ‘brotherly love’. For the first time ever, we are seeing images taken inside the camp itself For the first time ever, we are seeing images taken inside the camp itself For the first time ever, we are seeing images taken inside the camp itself The Exclusive Mandalay Camp at Bohemian Grove Effigies of owls can be seen everywhere, and although the buildings themselves are quite modest and even look uninviting, one shudders at the thought, of what these walls have seen over the years. Owl effigies are seen everywhere within the hidden sanctuary A few months ago, we were contacted by a whistleblower, that had access to these revelations. We were able to confirm the identity of this British ‘Elite’, who also knew the late Queen Elizabeth on a first name basis, and would often meet her privately (as seen in emails) for “tea” on the Palace grounds. This elderly gentleman, is known to the Biden’s, and was an advisor to one of the family members businesses. At the time of publishing this story, this gentleman, had not yet responded to our request for comment. We will however, in fairness, allow him 5 more days to respond. Computer savviness, is definitely not in his wheelhouse. In one of many emails seen by us, this British ‘elite’, receives an invite for the exclusive camp, via an American business tycoon, who most of you will be familiar with. This person is also, yet to respond to our call for comment. Once we have heard back from both men, we will reveal names, as well as more context, color and backstory.

Arizona law requires residents registering to vote in the state to provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

igible to vote in state elections and registered as "federal-only" voters, according to the Associated Press.

However, after the Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Arizona must accept U.S. voter registration forms because of federal requirements under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, the state allows residents registering to vote who don't provide proof of citizenship to receive ballots for federal races only.

Last year, Arizona enacted a law that requires counties to check federal-only voters for citizenship against multiple databases. The counties must reject any federal applications if they find the individual is not a U.S. citizen, and any official knowingly ignoring the requirement could receive a felony charge.

Federal voter registration forms require those filling them out only to sign a sworn declaration that they are U.S. citizens.

The Justice Department sued Arizona over the law in July 2022, claiming it is "a textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act," according to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the agency's Civil Rights Division. The agency also claims the law violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

When residents of Arizona register to vote or update their registration, an election system accesses their driver's license records to verify whether they have proof of citizenship. Those without documentation are inel-
