+JOHNSON GRASS
Actually, of the four invasions, Johnson Grass is the least problematic (that is, now, with chemicals), but it was a curse for farm kids like me who had to deal with it in long rows of maize with just a hoe.
My guess is there are very few today who know how far and deep those thick, white roots of Johnson Grass can go—and rise to live again if you don’t ‘get em all.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+FIRE ANTS
Would someone (environmentalist or other) please tell me how anything in the world could possibly suffer if fire ants vanished, disappeared, ceased to exist, got nuked.
It can be done !
We did it before—one government project that worked—without chemicals, without harmful, unintended consequences—eradication of the devastating screwworm fly by releasing radiated male flies that bred ineffectively, and arrested the life cycle.
We had a fascinating personal experience on our farm with the final, successful stages of that massive operation, after perennial dealings with the suffering and loss in livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+KILLER BEES
I guess killer bees are a bit trickier to eliminate, since they are so similar to regular honeybees, except for their attitude and actions that warrant their name.
It would be hard to kill killer bees without harming the good ones.
I know they are tracked and trapped, but the horror stories leave fear in anyone working outside.
I pray and depend on angels for protection from fire ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
+ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
The matter of illegal immigration has been built up to be something complicated, a monstrosity that nobody seems capable of stopping—now that it has grown so big, so out of hand, and everybody acts helpless.
Truth is, we have the laws and personnel to solve this invasion as well as any other, any time we decide to do so.
Obviously, we have not made that decision, and that is why we have such a problem on our hands, that will get much worse, quickly.
The invasion is intentional and carefully coordinated by the enemies of our country, just as surely as the pandemic, to weaken us for a takeover of America.
And this is all with complete cooperation from our own leadership, taking us down the road to surrender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
