A.G. Bondi: Show Me The Senator. I’ll Show You The Crime.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi shut down the Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee by insinuating, ‘Show me the Senator and I’ll tell you his crime.’ On Tuesday, Bondi appeared before senators for a hearing. She was on fire. The AG had Democratic Senators trembling in their seats. They became flustered and afraid.

Some of them began to sweat and shake. Most U.S. Senators are lawyers. They are familiar with the old American saying. “You can indict a ham sandwich.” Or as Lavrentiy Beria

puts it,

AG Pam Bondi tells Senators: Show me the Senator and I’ll show you his crime.”

Bondi’s use of a tactic reminiscent of the Stalin era of the Soviet Union was a shocking move. Instead of addressing questions about corruption, Bondi turned the tables and brought up the alleged bribery of the questioner/Senator.

This unexpected maneuver, coming from an experienced prosecutor like AG Bondi, was a bold move that raised allegations of corruption against Democratic Senators.

Pam Bondi to Senators: Peek-a-boo, I can see you.

Bondi’s effective planting of the seeds of Senate Democrat corruption has had a profound and lasting impact. Her tactics were so effective that even the Republican Senators, who were not the target of her allegations, were left feeling afraid. They’re left wondering what she has on them.

While Bondi was evasive in answering some questions, she provided answers to other questions using opposition research information. Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse looked like he wanted the earth to swallow him to get away.
Senator Dick Durbin (D), Illinois, a once fiery brand, came across as old, tired, feckless, and weak. The Democratic Party, once a formidable force, now appears utterly ineffective in the face of Bondi’s bold tactics and the perceived corruption within its ranks.
The hearing left the American people feeling that the Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee needs to be held accountable.

KKK Man Beats Black Man, Then Shoots Up His Vehicle.

Davie, Florida

A KKK man beats a Black man in Davie, shoots up his car for fun. On Wednesday, October 01, 2025, while driving in a Costco parking lot, motorist “Scott” encountered a KKK. “Scott is a Black man. Scott” overshot a stop sign. At this time, wild man, fifty-two-year-old Rafael Javier, bailed out of his car with a gun in hand to play police.

Wildman Rafael Javier confronted “Scott,” and the men argued. Wild man Javier chambered a round, then slapped “Scott” the same way he slaps his wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend. “Scott,” fearing for his safety and that of his girlfriend, jumped in his vehicle and drove away. Javier the savage then shot out “Scott’s” tire. The bizarre shooting was captured on a cellphone camera by a witness, as reported by NBC6.

The Town of Davie has a population that is 86 percent white, including white Latinos. Over the past two decades, the Black population has grown to just over 8 percent.

Davie Is A Strange Place.

Most Black kids growing up in Broward County were warned to avoid the Town of Davie, Florida, if possible. The quickest way from point A to point B, if you want to avoid getting harassed by the police, is not a straight line. We would drive around Davie instead of through it. Broward County, Florida, has 31 cities.

Over the years, about 80 percent of the 31 cities made progress in Black White relations. The Town of Davie isn’t among the 80 percent. Most Davie residents’ attitudes toward Black people have remained stuck in the early 19th century, reminiscent of Mississippi. Some residents display learned behaviors towards African Americans, while others bring it from Miami with them.

KKK wild man Rafael Javier turns Davie in the OK Corral After Beating a Black Man.

After a serious incident, the judge made a significant decision. He set Javier’s bond at $ 46,000. It isn’t known whether Rafael Javier is a member of the MS-13 gang or whether he speaks English. Despite this uncertainty, they charged Javier with aggravated battery. The judge released him on bail. They’re not sure if his victim and his girlfriend went into hiding from Javier.

Govt. Shutdown: Clown Hakeem Jeffries Says, “Say It to my Face!”

The federal government shutdown, a severe crisis that is disrupting the lives of millions of Americans, is being met with a less-than-serious response from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. His challenge to President Trump, ‘Say it to my face!‘, trivializes the gravity of the situation. The lives of millions of Americans hang in the balance, and Rep. Jeffries wants to make the issue personal.

What the hell is going on in Washington! New York’s Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is appearing as a top-notch clown. Is this (say it to my face) intended to make him seem tough? “Say it to my face.” And just what is he going to do if, when President Trump says it to his face? Nothing. He’ll do diddly squat. Get to work, you dumb schmuck.

Hakeem Jeffries‘ response to the government shutdown is a stark reminder of the need for effective leadership. His repeated challenge to President Trump, ‘Say it to my face!’, is not only ineffective but also distracts from the urgent task at hand.

Senator Chucky Schumer.

The shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, will affect services that many people take for granted. The Senate also voted along party lines on Wednesday morning to reject a Democratic funding bill that would have reopened the government.

Senate Democrats are holding out on the House bill to reopen the government in a 53-47 vote. They need at least 60 votes to advance the legislation.

The shutdown will force hundreds of thousands of federal employees to find another way to pay their bills. And the best the minority leader of Congress can do is regress to Kamala Harris’ failed campaign slogan: ‘Say it to my face.’

The New York Rep, whose greatest gift right now is repeating a losing slogan used by Kamala Harris during her failed 2024 presidential campaign. Kamala looked and sounded stupid when she kept repeating it during her celebrity presidential fiasco. “Say it to my face.”

The federal government’s shutdown spells disaster for millions. Thousands of Americans will lose their ability to feed themselves and their families, and all Big Clown Jeffries can do is slogans? What a DEI disaster!

Essential services, such as Social Security, Medicare, military operations, and federal law enforcement, would continue to operate. Policymakers will continue to get paid.

President Trump’s threat to fire federal employees due to the shutdown also seems misguided. Discussing the potential firing of 300,000 people who have been furloughed due to no fault of their own is mean-spirited.

Hate-filled Madman Kills Latter-day Saints Worshipers.

t was just another day of worship for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. It was just another day of rage for a hate-filled madman.

On Sunday, 40-year-old Tomas Jacob Sanford, a former United States Marine, turned his anger into hate for people of the Mormon faith. Sanford rammed his pickup truck into the Latter-day Saints (LDS) church, filled with hundreds of worshipers. The madman then shot eight worshipers, killing two.
Sanford then set their place of worship on fire. Two people died in the church fire, bringing the number of dead victims of his rage to four.

The church building was a beautiful structure before the 5-alarm fire. After the fire, the structure was reduced to rubble. Authorities advised that they found multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at the scene. Police used robots to explore the scene and check for bombs.

Thomas Sanford’s Father Issued An Apology.

On Monday, the elder Sanford called into the Detroit Free Press to issue an apology to the families of the victims. “I feel terrible about all the families that have been hurt, and they’re under the same crap that I’m going under, that my wife and I are going under,” the elder Sanford said, his voice breaking slightly as he spoke. “I apologize for that.” The Detroit Free Press is a part of the USA Today Network.

The FBI

The Michigan office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said the attack was being investigated as an “act of targeted violence”.[8

FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, “Violence in a place of worship is a cowardly and criminal act. Our prayers are with the victims and their families during this tragedy,” he wrote.

Wounded Warriors

The September 28, 2025, church shooting committed by 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford was the second mass shooting by an Iraqi war veteran in late September.

On September 27, 2025, 40-year-old wounded Iraqi war veteran Nigel Edge allegedly committed a mass shooting at the American Fish Company in Southport, North Carolina.
Three people were killed, and five others were wounded in the attack, according to authorities.

President Trump posted on Truth Social that he had been briefed on the “horrendous” event.
“The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America, Trump said.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, “Violence in a place of worship is a cowardly and criminal act. Our prayers are with the victims and their families during this tragedy,” he wrote.

New York Mayor Eric Adams falls to pinko Zohran Mamdani.

New York Mayor Eric Adams falls to pinko Zohran Mamdani.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams drops out of the mayor’s race after coming in fourth in the latest polls. Adams, the dropout, just gave the key to Grace’s Mansion to Pinko mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

With Adams out of the race, the only other two challengers to the Z are professional candidate Andrew Cuomo and the right-wing Curtis Sliwa, representing a diverse range of political ideologies.

On August 23, 2021, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was forced from office to make way for his second-in-command, Kathy Hochul. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government accused Cuomo of killing about 15,000 nursing home residents. While governor, Cuomo was negligent in his handling of the deadly emergency; his lieutenant governor was just as careless.

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo and his Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul still have blood on their hands. They’re both responsible for thousands of nursing home deaths resulting from COVID-19. However, they forced Cuomo out and gave the job to Hochul.

They decided it was time for New York State to have a female governor. Now, they have decided that it’s time for New York City to have a communist-adjacent mayor.
Eric Adams, the second Black mayor of New York, follows in the footsteps of David Dinkins, the first Black mayor. Dinkins, who served a single term, was a key figure in the city’s history, particularly during the Crown Heights riot in August 1991. They told Dinkins to get his Black ass outta town.
His tenure and the circumstances of his departure are essential chapters in the story of New York City’s mayors.

Zohran Mamdani, with his immigrant background, joins Fiorello La Guardia, who was the only immigrant to serve as mayor of New York City. While La Guardia was born in New York to immigrant parents, Mamdani’s roots in Uganda, Africa, and his Indian heritage bring a unique and diverse perspective to the mayoral role.

La Guardia’s 1934 Agenda.

>. Restore the financial health and break free from the bankers’ control

>. Expand the federally funded work-relief program for the unemployed

>. End corruption in government and racketeering in key sectors of the economy

>. Replace patronage with a merit-based civil service, with high prestige

>. Modernize the infrastructure, especially transportation and parks

Mamdani’s 2025 Agenda.

>. Raising taxes on the wealthy

>. Free bus rides for all New Yorkers

>. Five stores that would sell products at wholesale prices

>. I don’t think that we should have billionaires

Supplemental Reading On the Z

The name Zohran means “radiant,” “bright,” “luminous,” or “shining like the sun”. It has Arabic and Persian roots, is sometimes considered a variant of the name Zahran, and is used as a name, particularly in Islamic cultures.

Fourteen-year-old dies from butt lift & breast enhancements.

Fourteen-year-old dies from butt lift & breast enhancements.

A fourteen-year-old girl, Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo, tragically lost her life after undergoing cosmetic surgery. The surgery, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), was intended to enhance her breasts and buttocks. She died on Saturday after surgery and fell into a coma in El Siglo de Durango, Mexico.

She underwent the procedure without her father’s consent. Her mother approved of the procedure. A man identified only as Dr. Víctor “N.” performed the procedure. Plastic surgeon Dr. Víctor N is Escobedo’s mother’s new lover. El Siglo de Durango, a local newspaper, is reporting that Dr. “N” is now under investigation for possible negligent homicide.

El Siglo de Durango reports that “Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo died Saturday in a hospital in Durango, Mexico, after being in a coma with a swollen brain and heart problems following the secret surgery a week earlier.”

In 2023, Nora Whitehead lost her daughter Cheyenne after she went to Mexico for a “body makeover.”

Societal Pressures.

Escobedo’s mother has not revealed what led her to approve the procedure without the father’s consent. Was the kid being bullied in school for having a flat butt? There is nothing wrong with having a flat butt. Some people have green eyes, others have brown, grey, or blue eyes. Who is to say one is better than the other?

Some Black women wear green contact lenses because they have developed an inferiority complex forced by society. Negative body image perceptions are mental health issues that parents should address during their child’s developmental stages.

In the past, plastic surgery was primarily accessible to adult stars in the entertainment industry.

Today, the trend of body augmentation through cosmetic surgeries is on the rise, with many people, including teenagers, opting for such procedures.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported a significant increase in BBL surgeries, with over 21,800 performed in the United States in 2020, marking a staggering 90 percent rise from 2015.

Kim Kardashian’s ill-shaped body.

There has been ongoing speculation that Kim Kardashian and her sisters have undergone the BBL procedure, leading many young women to seek similar looks in an effort to ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians.’

It’s essential to note that, despite rumors, all four Kardashian sisters have publicly denied having BBLs, which should help dispel the influence of celebrity rumors on body image. Many young women aspire to have a pear-shaped body, like Kim Kardashian.
Investigation into the death of Escobedo hasn’t revealed if Dr. “Victor N” was properly licensed and experienced to perform the surgery on a minor.

Some Females Think They Are Their Ass.

Some women have more than just a piece of ass to offer; they have a brain. Most women are more than their ass, butt (pun intended), they don’t know it. More and more women are starting to believe that they are their ass–no degree of separation. More and more, the world is becoming a stage full of asses.

Too many women spend more than half of their lives looking behind them in the mirror at their ass. So many women think that their ass is their only asset, and they confuse their ass with who they are. More than half of the world has become an ass.

And too many men walk by a female and then turn around to look behind them at her ass. Now he spends half of his life looking behind himself at an ass, instead of forging ahead. Men, we are spending too much time looking behind ourselves at an ass that walked by and not watching our backs.
Forge straight ahead.
Former NFL wide receiver Shannon Sharpe just paid a million dollars to a low-life common whore for her silicone ass.

Now, she’s rich and he’s broke. He missed out on a hundred-million-dollar deal because of an ass.
The ass told him he would have to pay $50K per butt cheek. The whore set him up and charged him $50 million for her ass. Shannon Sharpe paid millions for her ass because he’s an ass. What a jackass!

Supplemental Reading (From the SUN) On The Kardishains.

hey have tried to dispel rumors of specific plastic surgery procedures over the years, most notably that their big butts are actually implants. In a 2011 “KUWTK” episode, Kim Kardashian underwent an X-ray of her butt to prove that she did not have implants.

The episode, in turn, led people to believe the sisters had undergone a type of plastic surgery procedure that enlarged their butts using fat from other areas of their body, commonly known as a Brazilian butt lift.

The Kardashians have never confirmed whether they have, in fact, undergone the procedure. Still, a search of the term “Kardashian BBL” on Twitter or TikTok suggests a consensus on the matter.
Big butts, small brains.

Texas A&M University Hazing Leaves Students Severely Injured.

A Shocking Hazing Incident at Texas A&M University Leaves Students Severely Injured. The brutality of the crime has Raised Concerns About Campus Safety.

A recent hazing ritual at a college fraternity has left several students unable to walk and suffering from black urine. The incident, which occurred on September 14 at Texas A&M University, has led to the swift suspension of the fraternity’s chapter, demonstrating the university’s zero-tolerance policy. The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office has described the situation as alarming.

The authorities in Brazos County have launched a thorough investigation into the Kappa Sigma Lodge on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station.

The extreme hazing, which resulted in multiple fraternity pledges requiring hospitalization, is being taken seriously.

As of now, those responsible for the dangerous actions that nearly harmed their fellow students have not been arrested; however, the investigation is ongoing, demonstrating the authorities’ commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice.

History of Texas A&M University: A Landmark in Texas Education
“The funds for land-grant colleges came via proceeds from sales of federally owned land, often obtained from Native American tribes through treaty, cession, or seizure.” Wikipedia.

The college, with an acceptance rate of about 70% released a statement on the brutal hazing.
“The Kappa Sigma Fraternity is aware of an incident involving members of our Texas A&M University Chapter. Any member found to have violated the fraternity’s Code of Conduct, which strictly prohibits hazing, will be held accountable. The operations of our chapter at A&M have been suspended pending an investigation.”

Off-campus Torture Chamber.

KPRC 2 News has reported that pledges were forced to partake in a torturous workout in dark, dirty conditions, which caused some participants to pass out.
The Brasos County Sheriff told reporters that the torturers took the new Kappa Sigma pledges to a secluded location. The off-campus location is akin to a torture chamber. There they were “told to engage in physical activity until exhaustion.”
Several parents are hurting for their children.

There have been multiple severe hazing incidents involving Kappa Sigma chapters at various universities across the United States, including cases of severe injury and death. In response, the fraternity’s national organization has publicly condemned hazing, though lawsuits and university investigations have continued. —Google.

Don’t Leave Your Hotel Room Before Doing These 5 things.

Don’t Leave Your Hotel Room Before Doing These 5 things.

Leaving a cozy hotel isn’t easy when it means the end of your vacation. It can be even tougher.
If the room is a mess, your bags are still unpacked, and check-out is only an hour away. Whether you’re ready to go home or itching to extend your stay, here are a few things you should always do before checking out of your hotel room.

Check the safe

Please remember to check the safe for any valuables you may have stored during your stay. This simple act not only ensures your peace of mind but also demonstrates your responsible behavior. It’s easy to overlook, especially if the safe is tucked away in a closet or small drawer. Still, it’s a crucial step before you leave.

Lift the sheets.

Fluffy bedding is another easy place for your belongings to hide in plain sight. Lift the comforters and move the pillows around to make sure none of your belongings got stuck in your comfy bed.

It’s like checking under your bed at home to make sure there are no monsters, but in this case, you’re ensuring you don’t leave anything behind.

Check for chargers.

Device chargers are among the easiest things to leave behind in a hotel room. Make sure you have all your chargers and double-check the outlets around the room just to be extra sure.
If you need to charge your devices while you pack, place them in your bag while they’re still connected to the wall. That’s a sure-fire way not to miss them when you leave. Nothing is worse than trying to find a way to charge your device at the airport only to realize you’ve left your charger behind.

Gather all the towels and trash.

Housekeepers have a tough job, so if you want to be a kind and respectful traveler, do your part to make their lives easier. Don’t leave your towels and robes scattered around the room. Instead, gather them all and place them on the bathroom counter so the housekeeper doesn’t have to bend down so much to pick them up.

Wet towels can get heavy! Place all your trash in the bin, including any leftover food you may have left in the fridge. And if you want to go the extra mile, you can even strip the bed. Every little bit helps!

Leave a tip.

Even if you’ve done all the above, don’t forget the importance of leaving a tip. It’s not just a gesture, but a token of appreciation for the hard work of the hotel staff. Your generosity is always appreciated and well-deserved, and it’s a great way to show your appreciation for the service you’ve received.

BONUS: Let the hotel know you’re checking out

Once you’ve completed a last sweep of the room and are ready to leave, it’s important to notify the hotel that you’re checking out. This simple act, even if you don’t have to swing by the front desk, shows your consideration and respect for the hotel’s operations.

It’s a small gesture that can make a significant difference in the hotel’s smooth operation.
It’s helpful for them to know you’ve left so they can add your room to the cleaning list. This isn’t mandatory, but like the previous suggestions, it is a nice gesture.

President Trump, ABC News, Jimmy Kimmel, First Amendment Struggles.

President Trump, ABC News, Jimmy Kimmel, and the First Amendment Struggles: A Detailed Examination of the Ongoing Challenges to Free Speech in America.

A profound struggle is unfolding in America, a nation that cherishes its most extraordinary gift and asset—the First Amendment. Its importance cannot be overstated. What led the Founding Fathers of the United States of America to elevate the First Amendment above all others?

From the dawn of time, there was the Word. And the Word was there. The Word was with ‘God,’ and the Word was/is ‘God.’ The Sound is the sound of the vibrations of the thoughts or the mind.
Whether they are good or bad, thoughts are free. They shall always remain free. This historical perspective connects us to the roots of free speech, reminding us of its enduring importance.

Speech, like air and electricity, can be temporarily stifled. However, it will always surge back, filling the void and powering the discourse. Its resilience, akin to a force of nature, is a testament to its enduring nature, providing us with unwavering reassurance in the face of temporary suppression.

On December 31, 2015, Ms. Parker Malloy wrote the following words in her article on free speech, regarding students and faculty blocking a photojournalist from doing his job. “To be quite clear, the demonstrators and faculty member(s) blocking his view were being extremely rude and were asserting rights they didn’t have (they had no power to block him from a public space on a public campus). And it would have been great had this been written up for what it was: a mess.”

“We the People”

‘We the people’ no longer grunt to communicate. “We” speak our thoughts. There are times when a man shares his thoughts, not knowing that his thoughts will manifest themselves not just in spirit but in flesh. What his thoughts said was, ‘Be.’
And so it was as it was in the Beginning. The audience of the speaker heard the speaker’s thoughts. His audience applauded his thoughts. However, they could not see his thoughts. Until they physically manifested themselves.

Lyin’ Ted Is An Unprincipled Defender of Speech.

Lyin’ Ted said in defense of his pocketbook that he disagreed with the attempts to stifle free speech. Lyin’ Ted defends it only because he fears the Democrats someday may come to power and prevent his speech. That is an unprincipled stand to take. Senator Lyin’ Ted Cruz has always been an unscrupulous cinnamon crumb cake — Urban Dictionary style.

Lyin’ Ted is an unprincipled man. A true believer in ‘free speech’ defends it on its merit and based on principle. Sen. Ted Cruz’s defense of free speech is driven by the fear that someone will curtail his own one day. The defense of speech must rest on who or what America is — not for selfish “reasons.”
There is an adage that says, I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it. –Evelyn Beatrice Hall. Or at least not try to prevent you from saying it.

The Word was inside of the Beginning; they are one, the same and they will always Be. Most of the Founding Fathers of the United States were aware of this. That is how the West was won. To deny the legacy and will of the “Founding Fathers’ is to write a different and new chapter entitled ‘How the West was lost.’ They were men endowed with some knowledge of the Ancient of Time. They had a deeper understanding of Providence.

To awaken such a fate in the mind or psyche of the Computer is to reveal a chapter that reads How the West Was Lost. Every possibility and probability is conditionally written in(side) of the Beginning/Computer.

All events manifest themselves according to the conditions created by ‘men’, according to the time and place. It is the actions and decisions of ‘men’ that not only shape the course of history but also the destiny of the Program or codes. The codes written in(side) the Beginning and the End, THE Alpha and THE Omega—definite articles.

The conditional codes written inside the Program read IF, THEN, ELSE. All computer scientists are aware of these conditional statements. They warn the travelers that they have come to a crossroads. It tells them they have come to a fork on the road. They have options.

Before one goes backwards, it is essential to study the T or the fork in the road carefully. There are always four options when one comes to a fork (T) in the road or to a crossroads. The counselors should consider each option with caution and wisdom.

Black (“African”) Americans Within The Codes.

Some feel empowered to sell a story that they can take Black Americans back to another place and time. A time of their ‘original’ state and conditions when they entered the Colonies (United States of America).

Black America isn’t going backwards on the T. The power to send Black Americans (as a whole) backwards on the T is not in (ex)istence.

Nor is it conditionally in the future tense. It is not written in the code. However, many shall fall by the wayside.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. — The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

CDC Warns Americans of a New Kissing Disease Endemic.

CDC Warns Americans of a New Kissing Disease Endemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urgently warning Americans of a not-so-new kissing disease. This illness has already infected over 300,000 people in the United States, and the CDC’s warning underscores the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

And it’s not slowing down.

Mononucleosis (mono), a highly contagious illness primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is making a rapid and concerning resurgence. It is spread through saliva, so kissing, sharing utensils, or drinking from the same glass can all contribute to its transmission.

It is on the rise again, and mainly in the warmer states. While the ‘kissing disease’ does not discriminate based on age, it is more prevalent among the younger population.

Younger people, who are more likely to share spit and live in close quarters, have a significant role in preventing the spread of mononucleosis.

By being mindful of their actions and following recommended precautions, they can play a crucial role in stopping the spread of this illness, making them feel responsible and part of the solution.

Photo of the triatomine bug also known as the kissing bug.

According to the CDC, symptoms of mononucleosis are detectable if the infected person is aware of their body’s changes. The symptoms can develop slowly and include extreme fatigue, sore throat, fever, and swollen glands. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, muscle aches, and a general feeling of being unwell. In some cases, a rash may also appear. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider.

Healthcare providers stress that “while most people recover in a few weeks, symptoms can sometimes last for months.” It is crucial to consult your healthcare provider if any of these symptoms appear, as they share similarities with other illnesses.
This precaution is to ensure your safety and well-being, and to provide you with the care and attention you need.

Severe cases of mononucleosis can lead to complications such as an enlarged spleen or liver, so it’s essential to seek medical attention if you experience persistent symptoms. Being aware of these potential complications can help you make informed decisions about your health.

Where Are They Primarily Found?

The CDC warns that the “Kissing bugs, also known as triatomine bugs, are primarily found in the Americas. They are more common in rural areas of Central and South America.

Still, they can also be found in the southern United States.

Specifically, kissing bugs can be found in the following regions:

Central and South America: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile.”

Southern United States: Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Florida

They typically reside in:

Cracks and crevices in walls, Rodent nests, Animal burrows, underneath porches, and in woodpiles.

If by chance you believe a kissing bug has entered your residence, don’t hesitate to call a pest control professional. Short of calling a professional pest controller, you can also eliminate the critter with roach sprays.

“It’s important to note that the presence of kissing bugs in the United States is less common than in Central and South America. However, it’s still possible to encounter them in the southern states mentioned above,” advised experts.
