A flesh‑eating fly thought eradicated decades ago has been found in Texas, its first return to the United States in generations.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of New World screwworm in a 3-week-old calf in Texas on June 3, marking the first known U.S. case in decades and the closest the parasite has come to reestablishing itself north of the Mexico border since its eradication in the 1960s.
So you kill the cartel boss who’s extorting money for the USDA flights. Then when you try another flight and some cartel big wig tries to extort money from you, you send folks to kill him too. And so on. Until you reach the end of cartel bosses who want to perish because of fly drops.
There is no real problem that can’t be solved in this manner. The other option is to let our cattle herds be eaten alive and forswear ever eating beef again.
Which will it be?
But we won’t do that because the U.S. has become a nation of effeminate cowards.
Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a statewide disaster declaration over the continued northward expansion of the New World screwworm, which has been labeled by state officials as a threat to Texas’ wildlife and livestock industries.
“Although the New World screwworm fly is not yet present in Texas or the U.S., its northward spread from Mexico toward the U.S. southern border poses a serious threat to Texas’ livestock industry and wildlife,” said Abbott. “State law authorizes me to act to prevent a threat of infestation that could cause severe damage to Texas property, and I will not wait for such harm to reach our livestock and wildlife.”
Originating in South America, the New World screwworm is a parasite that eats the tissue of warm-blooded mammals. Although there have not yet been any confirmed cases of the parasite in the U.S., multiple cases have been confirmed near Texas’ border with Mexico.
I’ve told you the answer to the screwworm threat (“All we needed to do was keep a flow of those planes. But the cartels were extorting money for every flight of flies that came out of Panama. They were extorting $35,000 a plane,” he said. “So, for all practical purposes, this is really kind of a political closing to make a point that they have got to get their act together”).

Use this as an opportunity to force cartels to self-identity, and then kill them. This approach solves two problems at one time.
It was a bloody fight and the biker gang planned and fought with military efficiency. Yeah, I’ll bet they did. The Cartel lost > 300 shooters that day on an Arizona road.
So here’s a question for you. Why were > 300 cartel shooters in a convoy in Arizona? Why did we retire the A-10 when it could have taken these cartel members out in an instant?
Here’s another question for you. Why haven’t we declared China and Mexico to be enemies of America?
A New World screwworm (NWS) outbreak in Mexico has raised alarms at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which is painfully familiar with the consequences should the parasite invade the United States. The impact on livestock and wildlife—including game animals—could be devastating if the flying insect and the flesh-eating maggots it produces are not stopped before gaining entry.
On May 11 U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced, “The United States has ordered the suspension of livestock imports through ports of entry along our southern border after the continued spread of the New World Screwworm in Mexico…The protection of our animals and safety of our nation’s food supply is a national security issue of the utmost importance.”
An adult NWS is similar in appearance to a common fly, but according to the USDA they, “…are blue-green, have three dark stripes on their backs, and have orange eyes; they are about twice the size of a housefly.” It’s the parasite’s larval stage that threatens warm-blooded mammals.
“They drop their eggs primarily in surface wounds, but also in noses and sinus cavities. Left untreated in humans, livestock, or wild animals, the egg masses hatch into swarms of larvae—the ‘worm stage’—which embed themselves in the host’s flesh and consume the living tissue and fluids. The appearance of the larvae and the way they burrow into the host’s flesh give the screwworm its common name. Feeding screwworms enlarge the wound and attract additional female flies, which deposit more and more eggs in the wound. If the infestation remains untreated, the host animal has little chance of surviving the secondary infections that often follow,” the above-linked USDA webpage explains.
“All we needed to do was keep a flow of those planes. But the cartels were extorting money for every flight of flies that came out of Panama. They were extorting $35,000 a plane,” he said. “So, for all practical purposes, this is really kind of a political closing to make a point that they have got to get their act together.”
So you kill the cartel boss who’s extorting money for the USDA flights. Then when you try another flight and some cartel big wig tries to extort money from you, you send folks to kill him too. And so on. Until you reach the end of cartel bosses who want to perish because of fly drops.

Of course they did. With GOA, I’ve claimed that Mexican cartels armed themselves with military grade weaponry from the Mexican armed forces and other Central American countries. But the supreme court is probably too stupid to know this.
Watch the entire GOA video.
But there’s the thing. I don’t care.
I don’t care if arms are flowing south to Mexico from America, nor flowing north from Mexico to America, into or out of Canada, or anywhere else to anywhere else.
That isn’t what causes violence. The wicked heart of man causes violence, and turning our hearts to the Almighty is the only solution for the sick soul.
Additionally, for all I know, firearms are flowing to peaceable men and women in Mexico who want to defend their families against cartel violence. In that case it would be a good thing. If this is not the case, prove it to me.
So, while I agree with and thank GOA for making the video, I just really don’t give a rat’s ass where firearms come from or go to.
I’ve run across several professional (former) SpecOps who caution against this approach. For example, there is this example, and then this example with Andy Stumpf and Mike Glover.
So in brief, here is what I think. The gangs appear to me to be toothless when faced with ICE and DEA agents. I understand that the more professional cartel fighters in Mexico are much worse, but as long as SpecOps has means of ingress and egress (insertion and extraction), and strictly follows their protocols, I think the cartel fighters will fold like a cheap suit.
I think if we do this, it should be MARSOC and Delta (“The Unit”). The SEALs will have their hands full with other things: Panama.
I’ve always been fascinated at New Orleans, surrounded on all three sides by water at a higher elevation than it is: The Gulf, the Mississippi River, and Lake Pontchartrain. It’s a city that shouldn’t be there except for being a port city at the mouth of the Mississippi river.
Meanwhile, the FBI remains laser focused on parents in Virginia who complained to school boards about their children being taught transgenderism.

A migrant from Guatemala has been arrested on allegations he lit a sleeping woman on fire inside a Coney Island F train on Sunday morning.
He is suspected of lighting the woman on fire at about 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, then watching her burn to death in a shocking killing just three days before Christmas.
Whether for reasons of control over a population or for the simple, sick pleasure of brutalizing someone, these are the people we’ve let into America.
Remember boys and girls. Government is just another word for the things we choose to do together.
And also remember, these people can just as easily be shot by Marine Corps snipers when they try to cross our sovereign borders as they can be let into the country.
First up, Mark Smith assesses the recent delay of the Snopes case.
Second, Mark assesses the potential picks to head the ATF. Personally, I would prefer to see the ATF completely eradicated. Its mere existence of prima facie unconstitutional. The existence of federal gun laws is prima facie unconstitutional. But if all we get out of this is an eradication of the “secret” gun registry and a prohibition on enforcement of laws by the ATF, then it’s very important who runs the FBI.
I would also suggest that it makes sense to send 90% of the employees of the FBI and ATF to the border to enforce border laws. As for those still trying to come across, send the Marine Corps to shoot them. If that sounds harsh, think of this as an invasion. What do you think Russi and China would do in such a case? They care about their borders, and we don’t. To most of the American elite, America is an idea, not a sovereign nation with borders.
This whole problem with the border could be solved in an instant. Stop traffic. All traffic, including trade. Allow no one to cross the border, not even for work. But you see, home builders, yard workers and house cleaners are needed for the elite, so that’s not going to happen. As is stands, they get the middle class to pay for medical care via socialized medicine while they get to pay lower wages than they otherwise would, and we bear the brunt of the deal.
Finally, Mark further assesses the inside baseball maneuvers in the SCOTUS on 2A cases.
