If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you.
The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.
Please pray for my immediate family who are under mandatory evacuation w 40k others in S. California, where I used to live in Orange County and authorities are saying there can be math fatalities. The tank with MMA they say will explode or leak either way. Please pray.🙏🙏😭😭😭
Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats
Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more”
“California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs”
This is what we need. Huge companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth
It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California
INVASION ALERT: Bill Gates’ Bioengineered Ticks Are Here — But Nature Has the Ultimate Counter Strike!
While the elites unleash their lab-created tick apocalypse, spreading Lyme disease and Alpha-gal syndrome, Nature is fighting back HARD. These “bioengineered” ticks are invading yards, pets, and families at record rates — but they FREAK OUT and RUN from certain essential oils.
Ticks HATE these oils. No DEET toxins needed. Arm yourself, your kids, your pets, and your property with Mother Nature’s shield.
Oils that ticks HATE (and why):
• **Tea Tree Oil** — Ticks literally panic and flee on contact. It disrupts their senses and they refuse to cross it.
• **Neem Oil** — A total tick repellent powerhouse; they avoid it like poison and it wrecks their feeding.
• **Oregano Oil** — High in carvacrol that kills tick-borne bacteria on contact while making them turn tail fast.
• **Black Seed Oil** — The little bloodsuckers bolt away; proven in real-world tests to create an invisible barrier.
• **Cedarwood Oil** — Toxic to ticks and larvae; they retreat or drop off instantly.
• **Clove Bud Oil** — One of the strongest — repels up to 83% of ticks at low concentrations in lab studies.
• **Thyme Oil (red or creeping)** — Ticks hate the scent; 68–82% repellency, even better when mixed with others.
• **Lemon Eucalyptus Oil** — Repels blacklegged and dog ticks for hours on clothes or skin.
**How to use:** Mix a few drops (diluted safely in carrier oil or water + witch hazel) and spray on socks, pants, yard perimeter, pets’ bedding, and skin. Reapply often. Diffuse or wipe baseboards indoors.
California Democrats fought to ensure you needn’t show ID when you vote.
While it would be wrong to come to Los Angeles and vote, it would certainly be ironic.
Japanese neuroscientists spent years working out how to put a crying baby to sleep. They wired 21 babies to heart monitors, tested different ways of being held, and landed on a 13-minute routine. The grandma in this video has been doing it for three generations.
Three labs working independently arrived at the same answer from different angles. The first piece came from a pediatrician named Harvey Karp who published it in 2002 after years of studying how parents around the world calm their babies. Babies are born with a built-in calming switch in their brain. The switch flips on whenever something mimics the womb: warmth, snug pressure, gentle movement, a steady whooshing sound. Once it flips, fussing stops and sleep takes over. Karp called it the calming reflex. Every parent has set it off dozens of times without knowing it has a name.
The second piece comes from a sleep lab in Geneva. In 2019, researchers there put adults on a bed that rocked gently, about one sway every four seconds, and watched their brains all night. People fell asleep faster. They also dropped into deeper sleep, the kind where the brain locks in memories from the day. The part of your inner ear that senses motion is wired directly into the parts of your brain that handle sleep. Rocking syncs your brain waves.
The third piece is the most direct. A 2022 study put tiny heart monitors on 28 babies at home and watched how their bodies reacted to different kinds of touch. Only four kinds of touch worked: rocking, patting, bouncing, and stroking. Each one triggered the calming response within seconds. Heart rate dropped. The body shifted into rest mode.
The 13 minutes came from a team at RIKEN, one of Japan's biggest research institutes. They tracked how different ways of holding babies affected their heart rates and figured out the exact recipe. Walk around with the baby in your arms for five minutes. Then sit, still holding them, for another five to eight minutes. Only then put them down. The wait was the surprise finding. Put the baby down too early and they wake up. Give them eight full minutes of held sleep first, and they stay asleep.
All of this lived inside grandmothers' arms for thousands of years before anyone hooked a baby up to a sensor. Passed quietly from mother to daughter to granddaughter. The neuroscience just caught up.
What you're watching is roughly the same protocol a Japanese lab might publish in 2026. Grandma already knew. The citations are optional.
Social media influencer Food God, who has over 8 million followers, says he will move back to Los Angeles if Spencer Pratt wins mayor
“If Spencer Pratt wins, I'm moving back to LA — I miss the LA energy, and only Spencer could bring it back — 100%, LA needs new energy — Please bring old LA back because it's got a heartbeat — right now, if Spencer doesn't win, LA is done. I might never go back”
“Really?”
“Yes — LA's like on the verge of falling apart, like, this is it. This is the only shot LA's got”
People not from California literally have no idea how bad California has gotten under Gavin Newsom and Democrats
Los Angeles is DISGUSTING, it’s literally like an apocalypse happened, people really don’t understand that this really is the reality
LA has become a more disgusting version of run-down Mexico
🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America
“Look at them crawling out of there - millions of Ticks”
The story is so insane - Farmers continue to report finding Boxes full of Ticks on their farmland, clearly left their on purpose.
Now the US has already seen a sharp increase in the number of Tick related diseases.
‼️🐞🪲 Farmers across the country are scratching their heads, and not just from bug bites. They're finding boxes packed full of ticks dumped in their fields. Just sitting there. Full of ticks. In a box.
Interesting timing, considering Pfizer just announced it's about to release a Lyme disease vaccine.
What makes this one different from your average vaccine? It actually does its job inside the tick.
From epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina
"It trains your body to make antibodies, and when a tick bites you and drinks your blood, it also drinks those antibodies, which then kill the bacteria right inside the tick's gut, before it ever reaches you."
In other words, the tick bites you, has a bad time, and you walk away fine.
So to summarize : mysterious boxes of ticks are appearing in farm fields, and the company that benefits most from a Lyme disease outbreak just happens to have a Lyme disease vaccine ready to go.
Probably nothing.
A lot of kids and young people drink this when their bodies are most depleted during and after athletic events. So it's a very good thing that their cells will not be slurping up excess yucky junk.
One product at a time, one day at a time.
This is literally mind blowing
Spencer Pratt exposes Los Angeles Department of Water and Power salaries
- Over 100 LADWP employees earn an annual compensation of over $500,000 per year each
- 26 LADWP employees earn more than $600,000 thousand dollars per year
- 4 top level LADWP employees earn more than $700,000 dollars a year
- The LADWP has a combined water and power budget of 11 billion dollars
I looked into it further, and get this
100% of leadership and oversight of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are aligned with Democrats
Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass appointed the 5 member Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which sets policy and approves major decisions like executive hires and salaries
California is essentially run by the mafia
They are literally giving themselves $500,000 -$800,000 EACH and this is just one department
Sadly this is not at all unusual in California. Newsom spent $24 billion on homelessness over five years, yet the homeless population grew by 30,000. The Auditor found he simply lost track of the funds. Many more fraud indictments are coming.
