A) What Could it Hurt?

B) HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW???!!!
The irresponsible stupidity of the entire MAGA cult–every last one of them–is going to hurt the whole human race. But it is going to hurt the MAGA rank and file prey most of all. These dumb sheep believed the lie that they could be Trump’s fellow alpha wolves and now those with a few brain cells are starting to slowly realize they were suckers who were never anything but prey.
The ones with no brains are still waiting for the Big Payoff when those they hate get it in the neck. In a few moments, they are going to look up and experience the Wile E. Coyote Effect.
They can have the consolation of knowing they Made the Libs Cry as they are destroyed by their own spite and folly.
Deacon Steve Greydanus explains:
The animated video below is worth watching to understand what an incredible scientific achievement we had going for decades—so that you can understand how horrific it is that we, ah, screwed it up in the last couple of years, and how and why that happened.
Many of you know I’m a science enthusiast. I like spiders, snakes, you name it. Well, I’m here to tell you (if you don’t know already) that the New World screwworm is a cursed species that the human race absolutely should eradicate if we can. We should eradicate mosquitos too, since malaria kills hundreds of thousands of people per year. Screwworms aren’t a big threat to humans, but they’re a grave danger to livestock and other animals, and their methods are far nastier than mosquitos.
Screwworms are a horror show. Screwworm flies are attracted to blood, and they lay their eggs in open wounds of warm-blooded animals like cattle and sheep. When the larvae hatch, they proceed to burrow through the flesh of their hosts, feasting on them, often until they die. We’re talking slow-motion chupacabra type devastation.
In the 1960s screwworms were a plague destroying cattle across the U.S.—until the U.S. government funded a brilliant scientific program that succeeded in eradicating them from the U.S. (I won’t tell you how it works—watch the video.) They’re still rampant in South America, but for decades we ran a successful program in central America to keep them out.
The program worked. It protected our herds and flocks. In principle, we might eventually have extended the program to South America and made them extinct.
Recently, though, screwworms have been working their way north, and a case was recently detected in south Texas. I’ve been following this with concern for weeks without knowing why it was happening, how the science failed us.
Turns out, it wasn’t the science—at least in part, it was funding cuts. DOGE didn’t see the point of this program, so they took a chainsaw to it. There are other factors, but that’s one of them. And now screwworms again threaten U.S. livestock.
Everyone please thank President Trump.
