ASIAN LANTERNFLY INVASION---'KILL IT--SQUASH IT---SMASH IT---JUST GET RID OF IT"

Yes your editor has been largely spared but has now seen these admittedly "pretty pests" on three separate occasions. The Shop Vac was handy at the time and made short work of the problem. That's not always an option......

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has publicly told locals to: 'Kill it. Squash it, smash it. Just get rid of it.'

The urgent warning stems from spotted lanternflies feeding on the sap of more than 70 kinds of plants, including wine-producing grapevines, which are among the most vulnerable to these infestations.

Heavy feeding stresses plants, causing serious crop loss, especially for vineyards producing grapes.

These insects are native to parts of Asia, particularly China, Vietnam and India, but are believed to have made their way to the US a decade ago in cargo ships carrying imported goods such as wooden furniture or plants.

IN THE NEWS--GOV SHERRILL BLASTED FOR 'SANCTUARY' POLICIES AFTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FLEEING ICE CRASHES INTO MAYOR'S WIFE

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s is getting blasted for her state’s “sanctuary” policies after an illegal immigrant driver fleeing a stop by Immigration and Customs Enforcement crashed into and injured a local mayor’s wife.

“This is just the latest in a long line of traffic incidents and vehicular incidents that wouldn’t occur if New Jersey didn’t have our sanctuary status that got codified as soon as Gov. Sherrill came into office,” Republican Assemblyman Paul Kanitra told Fox News Digital.........The broadside came after ICE officers conducted a targeted operation involving the driver of an Acura on Route 130 in North Brunswick on Sept. 2.

As for the case against her alleged murderer via GOOGLE AI: 

The defendant, Jose Medina-Medina, has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder; currently being held without bond in Cook County, Illinois. Immigration Status: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Medina-Medina is an undocumented Venezuelan national who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged an arrest detainer against him. However, due to Illinois’s sanctuary state laws (the TRUST Act), local officials are restricted from cooperating with ICE detainers, meaning he will remain in local custody to face his state murder charges.
