When your muscles feel tight or tense, or a bit achy, you'll automatically feel like stretching them.

Dairy, but not eggs. Sufferers can still eat chicken and fish.

I wonder if the tick bomb babies are less likely to transmit anything because they probably haven't fed on anything yet? I would think they'd have to feed on a mammal to get the compound into their saliva.

The syndrome is not caused by a pathogen but spurs an allergy to a sugar molecule found in mammals and an array of other things, from toothpaste to medical equipment.

Lone star ticks are aggressive and can speedily follow a human target if they detect them. “They will hunt you, they are like a cross between a lentil and a velociraptor,” said Sharon Pitcairn Forsyth, a conservationist who lives in the Washington DC area.

A particular horror is the prospect of brushing up against vegetation containing a massed ball of juvenile lone star ticks, know as a “tick bomb”, that can deliver thousands of tick bites. “They are so tiny you can’t see them but you have to take it seriously or you’ll never get them off you,” said Forsyth, who now carries around a lint roller to remove such clusters.

I was wondering about that, too. The article says

Payments available for withholding include the federal taxes collected from the paychecks of state employees, as well as grant payments owed back to the federal government.

I have no idea how much that would add up to, and I wonder if the Feds would be able to go after individual employees for not having received the federal taxes they owe, leaving it to the employees to sue the State to reimburse them for the amount that was withheld.

The second one, grant payments owed back, would be a limited amount since the Feds would probably retaliate by cutting off future grant funding. Overall it doesn't seem like a workable strategy.

If it was just paying taxes, that would be cheaper--at first, anyway. But the important thing is the power. Laws on everything from taxes to business regulations to social engineering need to be passed and/or stopped from passing, to benefit them and guarantee their lifestyle preferences. And it goes beyond that, because having that kind of power means everyone bows to them, serves them, kisses their asses, and most of all, fears them (or can be crushed by them if they don't do those things).

I think out of all the freaks given positions in the regime, this asshole will do the most harm, kill the most people and cause the most suffering over the longest time span -- and that's saying a lot.

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

Rage, rage against the dying of the grift, ya pigs. Your days are numbered.

Reporter in video describes the scene like nothing very interesting is happening, like it's all perfectly normal and mundane to zip-tie the hands of people in wheelchairs behind their back or pulled into unnatural and painful-looking positions, all the while repeating the phrase "big beautiful bill" over and over with a straight face. Our "news media" is nothing but propaganda and apologia for the regime.
