@TKRanch The Irish have a curse where they fight exceptionally well for other countries, but always suck when fighting for themselves. This might be different if they're Ulster-Scots, since this is Belfast. Will be interesting to see if any change comes from it.

@luisbarrandeguy Next year the new sterile male fly facilities will be operational, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's only a problem this summer. We will have them pushed back to Panama in no time if Mexico cooperates.

@luisbarrandeguy There was never a single documented case of NWSW in Montana, even before the eradication program. I doubt I will ever see one. Our southern states will have to deal with it, but even they get frosts in their northern halves in winter. It will basically be a seasonal problem

Lots of people on X coming up with novel ideas and treatments for dealing with NWSW. No need! They pretty well have it figured in South America, and they are willing to share what they know.

@ThinkethSo @TonySeruga Mainly i use doramectin injection in myasis or prevention in cases of bleeding wounds for example castration or branding

@CowboyEastTexas There's a whole continent south of us with ranchers who deal with screwworm all the time, and there's a lot of X, which also translates for you

@nealjclark1 Something that was a bit of a shock to me when I got a construction job was how crappy and slopped together everything was. Lots of industry standard stuff is ridiculously low quality, but maximally profitable

@mbacowboy @CowsnRedbirds I usually just use my fencing pliers

@bluecowboy99 Ha, that's funny. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten pulled over if I ever crossed paths with a cop.

@luisbarrandeguy @TonySeruga Thanks for the info! How do you normally treat it? What do you do?

@MartinMurray_Ag @TonySeruga There were a few summertime outbreaks in the Dakotas, and Wyoming also, but they were attributed to loads of infested cattle getting shipped in. And yeah, they can't take a freeze so they'd get pushed back to the border states every winter.

@JerodMcDaniel Makes sense, healthy soil = healthy plants, so no extreme imbalances or accumulations

There is a point at which tolerance becomes not only unreasonable but also immoral.

@HayMan7140 @buddydawg77 @01Patriot1776 It's also a failure if you can't move furniture without hurting yourself at this age

If you see anyone attacking @SecRollins or Donald Trump over new world screwworm and not Mexican leadership’s gangster extortion of US taxpayers, then you know they’re just DNC activists. The American taxpayer has borne all costs for science and prevention of New World screwworm (NWS) for over 70 years. We spent tens of millions of dollars eradicating it at home in the 50s-60s, then 20-50 million pushing the barrier south of Mexico between the 70s and 80s, effectively (thanklessly) taking care of their problem for them. Maintenance of the barrier via the Darien Gap sterile fly project was established in the 90s with massive American investments in sterile fly facilities and on the ground treatments that cost Americans $15 million a year since the 90s. We do these generous scientific programs as the benefits to Americans outweigh the costs. More recent emergency interventions include $100 million dollar emergency investments in 23 and 24 ($300 m total at this point over 3 years) plus upgrades to Mexican sterile fly facilities in 25 for another $20 m on top of the $15 m annual programmatic spend in normal years. Since Trump 2, the Mexican government has put up obstacles to extract more money from us and score points against Donald Trump. They’ve limited our APHIS planes that drop sterile flies, they only let our planes fly 6 of 7 days a week, they’ve restricted pilot access and facilities access and slowed down logistics every way they can. They put huge duties on plane parts and imported dispersal equipment, and even on the shipments of sterile flies for a program where the American taxpayer is already paying the entire bill. It’s outrageous! So on top of American taxpayers paying for all aspects of the prevention (sterile fly production, facilities, dispersal throughout Mexico and Central America) they want more payments and concessions from us or else they make implementing the program a bureaucratic hell. This mentality, by the way, is extremely common for all sorts of foreign aid spanning all sectors from medicine to water supply to ag. Graft and bribes on top of direct costs for aid that you’re already paying for is common across the third world and the U.S. payer just had to take it up until Rubio changed the model. But sure, Mexicans “built” my country or whatever. Lmfao.

It's worth noting that this is a direct result of open border policies, and that the NWSW breached the Darien Gap via the migrant caravans.

@SlothfulGeo @kim_nebraska There's that too

People are asking why there isn't more plans, celebrations, and anticipation for America's 250th as there was for the 200th, and I think it's simply because 30%-50% of people in America now aren't Americans.
