Top Three Tips For Avoiding Bedbugs When You Travel.

The Case Of The Bedbugs

Bedbugs have taken over Paris in a widespread infestation affecting hotels, airports, trains, movie theaters, and restaurants. The critters are causing quite a stir, with some travelers considering canceling their upcoming trips to the City of Lights.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Bedbugs are certainly at the top of the list of travel-related nuisances. They are not exclusive to Paris or even Europe. All technically harmless blood-suckers can be found worldwide, meaning travelers should always take precautions against them. Luckily, there are steps that travelers can take to avoid bringing these unwanted visitors home.

Here are the top three tips for avoiding bedbugs:
Check the bed and furniture for signs of bedbugs
Once you check into your accommodations — whether that’s a five-star hotel, an Airbnb, or a cheap hostel — you should first check the mattress, furniture, and blankets for signs of bedbugs.

They usually hide in the seams and folds. Hence, those are the best places to check for their excrements (usually black dots) or their shell-like exoskeletons. If you find something, alert the property and ask to be moved.
Keep your luggage elevated.
Please don’t leave your suitcase on the floor, where it will be easier for bed bugs to find their way inside. Instead, put your bag on a luggage rack or a hard, elevated surface. Please do not put them on upholstered furniture. It’s also best to use hard-shell luggage instead of fabric bags. For shorter trips, don’t unpack.

Carefully unpack your bags at home.
Once you’re home, the precautions don’t end. If you suspect you might have bedbugs, unpack your luggage in the bathroom or another lightly colored tile surface so you can see if you’ve picked up any bedbugs. You can even shake out your clothes over the bathtub, just in case.

Next, you’ll want to wash all your clothes in hot water, including the ones you didn’t wear. If there are any items you can’t wash, leave them in a tightly closed garbage bag for at least a week. Last, you’ll want to check the crevices of your suitcase and vacuum it just to be safe.
Stay vigilant with these tips; hopefully, you won’t have any run-ins with pesky bedbugs.

Israel Declares War After Attacked By Hamas

Massive "Intelligence" Failure

On Saturday, 10/07/2023, the radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a multi-prong attack on the state of Israel, killing at least 900 Israelis, most of whom were civilians — according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaho’s administration. The Palestinians claim that during Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Hamas.

 The bombings killed over 700 Palestinians, including hundreds of civilians. Israel has cut off fuel, food, electricity, and water supply to the two million residents of the Gaza Strip, a stronghold of the Islamic Jihadist Hamas. This move could lead to the starvation of thousands of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli war planes bombarded buildings in the Gaza Strip reducing them to rubble and ashes

Bone heads such as Rep Gregory Meek (D) New York and Sen. Lindsey (the Eunuch) Graham have called for the removal of the Palestinians. Pray tell, Meeks and Graham, by what means do you intend to accomplish that act of the wholesale slaughter of millions of men, women, and children? Are you calling for the Resurrection of Adolf Hitler?

The surprising and sustained attack on Israel revealed acute flaws in Israel’s much-lauded and envied technological defense system known as the Iron Dome and the human intelligence apparatus and assassination agents MOSSAD. When Hamas attacked, they entered homes, IDF (Israeli Defense Force) posts, and lines of demarcations, killing and capturing soldiers and civilians of all age groups and sexes.

Senator Eunuch Graham is pushing to escalate the current Israelis/Hamas conflict into a broader war with Iran. He’s on the take.

Two Israeli-American peaceniks Deborah and Her Husband Shlomi Mattias Were Killed By Merciless Hamas Attackers. Hamas has killed ten other Americans. Benjamin Netanyahu Called Up 300 thousand Military Reservists to Join the battle.

Some Israeli civilians the Jihadists took were sympathetic to the Palestinians and their cause. There are reports of rapes carried out by members of Hamas, runs contrary to the Geneva Conventions. Leaders of Hamas should order the release of all Israeli children under sixteen years to their relatives.

Shooting unarmed civilians in attendance at a concert is highly criminal and cowardly perpetrated by inhumane wilds like Stephen Paddock.

Biden’s Mad Dog Commander Taking A Bite Out of Crime.

Washington, DC

Secret Service's Secret: A Mad Dog

Pres Biden’s Two-year-old German Shepherd Touched By The Exorcist?

First, President Biden’s comfort animal, Major, kept taking major bites out of crime at the White House and with staff members and visitors. Major gets agitated when visitors drop off baggies of cocaine with no names attached. Well, here comes Commander, possibly better trained than the Major for sniffing cocaine — at the White House.

The two-year-old Commander’s attack rate is in the high double digits. He’s taken out Secret Service agents who have been excellent at keeping the secret of the mad attack dog that haunts the premises of the White House.

OSHA

The good news is that OSHA (The Occupational Safety and Health Administration) condones workplace violence at the White House. Bravo.

Having a dog as a pet while living in the white house isn’t mandatory, but most Presidents get one just to fit in. Former President Bill Clinton had a cat and a dog as pets in the White House. Donald Trump did not keep a pet while in the White House. Trump said during a rally in Texas that the idea of getting one now feels “phony” to him. “I wouldn’t mind having one, but I don’t have any time.”

It is unclear if someone fed drugs to the President’s dog or if there is another trigger that sets them off. It’s not an ordinary action for dogs to attack humans.

 

The other two Presidents who did not have presidential pets were James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson. But President Roosevelt made up for the dogless Presidents. Roosevelt had eight dogs while serving in the White House.


Because of the danger Biden’s dog Commander posed to his staff, they removed the dog from the White House on Thursday, as they did with his previous dog, Major. Dogs’ personalities and behaviors are extensions of their masters.

Rep Matt Gaetz, The Person Most Responsible For Ousting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — Aside From McCarthy

After the ousting of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, People across America are saying: “You can’t make this up.” Yes, you can. What’s going on in Washington? Dysfunction at its best. While the Hollywood writers were on strike in Hollywood, perhaps some moonlighted as scriptwriters for the politicians in Congress. 

This Washington script is brilliantly written but adds to the people’s uncertainty. And could prove to be a dangerous cliffhanger to the American psyche. The waters become restless when uncertainty looms like a darkened cloud over the ocean. 

As chaos looms in Washington, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and the RNC (Republican National Committee) deny the American people the option to choose a President — except for the two candidates that the DNC and the RNC have selected.

Standing at a crossroads where the electorate would rather have someone else on the ballot for President other than the two leading candidates — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. You can’t make this up. Yes, you can.

This time when part-time NY police chief Eric Adams, a full-time idiot moonlighting as Mayor of New York City, on Wednesday, traveled to three South American countries (Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador) to beg the millions of potential refugees — on his hands and knees — to slow their roll across the southern border.

A plea contrary to President Joe Biden’s, who encouraged them to surge the Southern Border, bumrush, and overwhelm Border Patrol agents.

Eric Adams’ message to the migrants is don’t come to New York: “You won’t get five-star hotels in the Big Apple.” Will someone tell Adams that New York City isn’t on the Southern Border; the migrants who come there are the ones he’s invited and put up in five-star hotels.

Meanwhile, Manchurian Candidate Hakeem Jeffries is licking his chops as a political candidate to go on television and pump him up as the next Speaker of The House.

And what was the first order of business for Rep Kevin McCarthy’s hand-picked Speaker Pro Tempore Rep Patrick McHenry? Kick former Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of her office. Talk about priorities.

Bring It On!

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Chided Members of His Own Party To “Bring It,” And They Brought It.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives members voted to oust the Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

The end tally was 216 to 210. The man who sold his soul to be second in line to the Presidency lost his right to the Golden Fiddle — the Gavel. In January 2023, Rep Kevin McCarthy (R) narrowly won the Speaker’s Gavel after fifteen rounds of voting. 

To become Speaker, McCarthy went down to Florida and made a deal with the devil — Matt Gaetz, a wanna-be leader of the hyper-fringe MAGA rightwing. But First, McCarthy went to Mar-a-Lago and met with former President Donald Trump to kiss his ring. McCarthy is not a man of honor but a backstabber like Hakeem Jeffries, who helped push the knife in his back this afternoon.

McCarthy is known as a two-faced, weak, feckless leader.

Temporarily replacing McCarthy will be Patrick McHenry (R), South Carolina. The McCarthy play is still on most people who recognized that McCarthy also handpicked McHenry, an Irish man.

Former Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi handpicked Representative Hakeem Jeffries to be Minority Leader. After the January 6th attack on the Capitol, Rep Mccarthy mustered up some courage to call out Donald Trump as the party most responsible for the J6 mayhem.

  • Soon Mccarthy went to Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump’s mansion, to suck on Trump’s middle ring finger. About a week ago, Trump called on the MAGA Republicans to shut down the government; McCarthy refused to follow Trump’s instructions, and as a result, today, he’s got the entire length of Trump’s middle finger down his throat.
  •  
  • “Nothing left to do but send McCarthy home back to you.” He’s through. Go on and sing your song Boo. Rep Kevin McCarthy may run for the Gavel again. Keep whistling, Dixie, buddy.

Delta Air Lines Is Changing How Passengers Can Earn Status.

Delta Air Lines Is Changing How Passengers Can Earn Status.

By Jessica Poitevien

Media Corp USA

Is Delta Airlines Pricing Out Middle Class Passengers?

Earning status on a major airline is one of the best ways to get upgrades, free checked luggage, and other perks that improve your flight experience. Airline loyalty programs typically allow passengers to earn status based on the miles they fly or the number of flights they take.

Delta Air Lines is officially moving to a new model, and most travelers are unhappy with the new model.
Starting Jan. 1, 2024, Delta passengers will only be able to reach medallion status by accumulating Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs).

They can earn these in various ways, such as booking flights with Delta or Delta partner airlines and using the airline’s website to reserve hotels, car rentals, or Delta vacation packages.

Passengers can earn medallion status by accumulating MQDs, Medallion Qualification Segments (think, number of flights), and Medallion Qualification Miles. That means starting next year, two of the three methods for earning status will be eliminated. The other problem? One dollar equals one MQD, so travelers must spend more than ever to earn status.

Delta Air Lines also recently announced that in 2025, the amount of spending required to earn status will increase to the following amounts:
• Silver Medallion – 6,000 MQDs
• Gold Medallion – 12,000 MQDs
• Platinum Medallion – 18,000 MQDs
• Diamond Medallion – 35,000 MQDs

There is some hope for travelers with a Delta-branded credit card, as spending on those cards, even for non-travel purposes, will count as MDQs.

For example, Delta SkyMiles American ExpressCard travelers can earn one MDQ for every $10 spent. Meanwhile, cardholders with the Delta SkyMiles Reserve or Reserve Business American Express cards and the Platinum Business American Express Card can earn one MQD for every $20 spent.

To add more insult to injury, Delta is also changing its policy on accessing the airline’s Delta Sky Club lounges in airports worldwide.
Currently, all Delta card members may have unlimited access to any club lounge without spending minimums. But starting Feb. 1, 2025, Delta Sky Miles Reserve and Reserve Business cardholders will be limited to only 10 Club visits per calendar year, while it will limit those with an American Express Platinum card to six lounge visits a year.

If cardholders spend $75,000 or more on their Delta credit card, they will be allowed unlimited visits. Also, even if you’re a cardholder, you won’t be allowed to use the lounge if you fly with a Basic Economy fare.
Critics of the changes say that Delta Air Lines is effectively pricing out middle-class passengers from achieving higher status. Time will tell if other airlines follow Delta’s model.

Gay And Proud.

On Sunday, California Gov Gavin Newsom made a highly strategic and calculated move when he selected vote generator Laphonza Butler to go to Washington as the third openly gay U.S. Senator.

It forced the California Presidential hopeful to walk the line with his selection of Laphonza to fill the seat of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein. There are three candidates already running for Finstein’s seat.

In the highly contested, Representative Barbara Lee and her supporters demanded that Gov Newsom tilt the scale and choose her for the job above her competitors: Democrat Rep Adam Schiff and Kate Porter (D) CA.

Newly Selected California Senator Laphonza Butler And Her Family

Butler’s selection brings to three the number of openly gay United States Senators. She joins the only two openly gay Senators, Tammy Baldwin (D) from Wisconsin and Kyrsten Sinema (R) from Arizona. Recently, some have questioned Vice Presidential hopeful Senator Tim Scott’s sexuality.

So far, Scott and Senator Lindsey Graham have yet to come out of the closet out of fear of a backlash from bigoted South Carolinians. Senator Tim Scott talks about an invisible girlfriend that no one has ever seen. Is it possible that Scott has an Ai girlfriend? For Senator Graham, mum is the word as he keeps his mouth firmly affixed to former President Donald Trump’s ass and continuously spews 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories.

In 2021, Newsom shortchanged the Black community when he selected Alex Padilla to fill Kamala Harris’ seat after they selected her as Biden’s Vice President.

Butler will be the 3rd Black female to serve in the U.S. Senate, following in the footsteps of Carol Moseley Braun (1988 to 1992) and Kamala Harris, who served from January 3, 2017, to January 18, 2021. The selection of Laphonza Butler by Gov Newsom Newsom hopes will garner votes from the radical left for his upcoming presidential bid. Butler served as the president of EMILY’s List.

Leaving The Trump Cult: The Cassidy Hutchinson Story.

Taking A Bullet For Trump.

Former White House Aide Cassidy Hutchinson, Chief of Staff to
Former President Trump’s lead organizer (crime boss), Mark Meadows, has left the cult. Hutchinson has written a book titled ENOUGH. She’s making the rounds on network television to sell her book.

The 27-year-old Hutchinson has a compelling story to tell. And she’s telling anyone on television who will listen to it. She is soft-spoken and reflective. 

Before the Republican operative Cassidy Hutchinson wrote her tell-all book, she testified for the Democrats on the January 6th Committee after being a Trump loyalist on January 7 after the J6 insurrection. Hearing her tell her story about working for Trump and other “powerful” men behind the scenes was almost spellbinding.

Ms. Hutchinson described moments of hazing to test her loyalty to Trump. What’s an exciting movie without sex? Sex sells. Ms. Hutchinson, in salacious details, told how, during the plot to overrun the government, Rudy Giuliani ran his hand up her blouse and under her skirt — old Rudy was checking for loyalty.

(L) Cassidy Hutchinson Testifying Before Congress (Pleasingly Plump Face / (R) Hutchinson On Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell/MSNBC Sporting A More Chiseled Hollywood Face.

Did she flinch? They asked Ms. Hutchinson if she would take a bullet for the then-President Donald Trump — make sure the shot is in her leg. She agreed to take a bullet for Trump.

She sought assurance to make sure it was in my leg. Hutchinson failed the test; she should say she will kill for Trump like the January 6 insurrectionists. If you want me to, you, “I would Die For You.” After the failed coup in Washington, Donald Trump provided her an attorney but abandoned her on the Jersey Shore. She became a persona non grata at Mar-a-Lago. She founded a new religion, a new church called the J6 Committee.

Like most cult members, after leaving a cult, Hutchinson developed anxiety. She needed another ex-cult member to guide her back to reality, so she called on Alyssa Farah Griffin. Scared of going to prison after the J6 fiasco, Ms. Farah Griffin broke away from the Trump cult to find refuge at CNN’s new channel.

CNN has a love-hate relationship with Donald Trump. he’s good for ratings, but he’s no fan of CNN’s (UNN) love-child Ukraine and crooked Vladimir Zelensky. 

Ms. Cassidy Hutchinson (no relationship to Gov. Asa Hutchinson) has become the Democrat’s love child and media darling on the left.

The Republican Primary Debate 2, Seven Losers Debating Themselves.

Simi Valley, CA

A Shit Show

The RNC Displays Seven Defiled Brides Waiting For Their Missing Husband: Donald Trump.

The compass of the Republican Party’s former President Donald Trump skipped the second Republican primary debate, just as he did the first.

Standing on stage bickering among themselves were the seven biggest losers of the race for the White House: Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Doug Burgum, and Mike Pence. Ronna McDaniels, chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), forced former Gov. of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson out of the second primary debate.

They held the debate inside the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. One cannot think of Simi Valley and not recall the Rodney King 1992 verdict delivered by a jury of neo-Nazis. Today, the Simi Valley African-American community remains at 1.5 percent, the highest it’s ever been.

The best way to describe the second Republican Primary debate is as a substanceless shit show. The usual Indian demagogues, Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy (a Black Indian) and Italian Ron DeSantis executed their typical attack on CRT and DEI.

Republican 2 Debate Hosts

Presidential Republican Candidate Doug Burgum, (Left) Fox Hosts On The Right

That trio of circus clowns (Ramaswamy, Haley, and DeSantis) have nothing to say about sound judgment. Ramaswamy was the first to be on the stage to prove himself, fighting a culture war aimed mainly against Black People. All seven candidates attacked the UAW Union bosses while embracing the striking workers. Why not bash five or six union heads? There are more workers to vote than bosses.

Lurking On The Southern Border.

Former New Jersey Gov Chris Christie continued his relentless attack on Donald Trump.Christie claims Trump was “hiding behind his golf clubs.” Ron DeSantis was the second person on the stage to attack former President Trump.

Nikki Haley delivered one of the well-rehearsed one-liners referencing the invisible Southern Border. “Instead of catch and release, it should be caught and deported,” Haley said. Ron DeSantis said, “I will use the military to go after the Mexican drug cartels.”

Sen Tim Scott reminds Ramaswamy that they designed the 14th Amendment for the formerly enslaved African people, not Vivek and his family. Vivek, the culture warrior, stated, “Transgenderism is a mental health disorder,” he said, “It is not compassionate to affirm a kid’s confusion; that is cruelty. “I will ban genital mutilation and chemical castration,” the 38-year-old Indian said.

This time, Gov Doug Burgum appeared lass lackluster, even as host Martha MacCallum threatened to cut off his microphone when he attempted to speak on tech issues. Burgum was the only tech-savvy person on the stage. He sold the tech company he built to Microsoft for 1.1 billion dollars.

Joe Biden Took His Campaign To The Picket Lines In A General Motors Vehicle.

Poli-Tricking.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden showed up on the picket lines (where workers are on strike against General Motors) in Michigan; Biden drove General Motors (GM) most expensive car — the $16,000,000 vehicle known as The Beast. Biden met with striking UAW workers, pretending to care about their struggle. What a slap in the face.

Biden’s visit beat former President Donald Trump to Michigan after Trump announced he would meet with UAW strikers on Wednesday, the day of the second Republican Primary debate. So on Tuesday afternoon, President Biden shuffled his way to the picket lines in Michigan, on one of his central campaign stops.

The Greatest Trick A Politician (Joe Biden) Ever Pulled Is To Convince The People He’s Not A Politician.

All major reputable polls show that Americans would rather have an alternative to Joe Biden as President. While some detest the former Senator, some are concerned about his age and incompetence. Biden’s fragility and incompetence drove him to hide out, perhaps in his basement, and refuse to debate his opponents.
