With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
Here it is:
A decade in the making!
This is: United States Press Secretary Karoline Claire Leavitt:
“Now, nearly ten years later, thanks to the declassification of documents by the Director of National Intelligence, @DNIGabbard, the truth has finally come to light — and it vindicates President Trump and his family.”
Barack Hussein Obama, along with his entire administration, conspired to overthrow the United States government in 2016.
@PressSec:
“While pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, Barack Hussein Obama, in private, went to great and nefarious lengths to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump.
The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence confirms that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence, which was later used as justification for baseless smears against President Trump — an effort to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office.
The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetrated on the American people from the very beginning. The worst part is that Obama knew the truth, as did all the other officials involved, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.”

And Christopher Wray!!
@PressSec “The Director of National Intelligence Gabbard’s report further confirms what we already knew: there was no collusion, no corruption, except on the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time. The Russia hoax was a blatant lie, all ginned up by Democrat political operatives that were signed off on by Barack Obama and leaked to the news media to launch a years-long witch hunt against President Trump and his first administration. Allies of the president, including his own son Donald Trump Jr., were disgustingly smeared as Russian assets, and some even had their lives destroyed because of this vicious lie.”
Here it is:
Ten years in the making!
The United States Press Secretary, Karoline Claire Leavitt:

Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the United States government in 2016, the sitting president in 2017 as part of a ‘seditious conspiracy,’ overthrew it in 2020 to cover it up—and now he’s been caught.”

📝 No one ever expected that a former Democrat, @DNIGabbard, would expose it all—and this is just the beginning.
Newsmax host @RobFinnertyUSA just said what no one in mainstream media will admit about SNAP.
He tore the mask off the entire food stamps program...and what he revealed will infuriate taxpayers.
It’s far worse than anyone realized.
“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”
“And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”
“45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”
“42% of Somali immigrants, 34% of every immigrant from Iraq, 23% of Haitians.”
“59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”
“Think about that.”
“And we didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started.”
“But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”
🚨WTF?
ICE ARRESTED an illegal alien semitruck driver from India in Oklahoma, his ID said "no name given"
"It's REALLY scary…No name given?!' And there's a 'REAL ID' in the star in the corner!"
This is criminal. Arrest whoever issued this.
Speaker Mike Johnson BLASTS Democrats' insane list of demands to the end gov shutdown, which includes:
-Half a BILLION for liberal news outlets
-$24.6 million for climate resilience in Honduras
-$13.4 million for civic engagement in Zimbabwe
-$3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy grants in the western Balkans
-$2.9 million for desert locust risk reduction in Africa
-$2 million for organizing for feminist democratic principles in Africa
THIS is what the Democrats are holding the American people hostage over. Unreal.
@everyone Judge Mary Alice Brennan of Pennsylvania, just recently handed a lenient sentence in a horrifying series of animal torture cases in PA, giving only probation, no additional jail time, and no real accountability for the victims of serial animal torturer Anigar Monsee.
This is why Johnny Carson is THE iconic late-night talk show host:
“Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show that you must deal in serious issues? It’s a danger. It’s a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know? Strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum. You could sway people. And I don’t think you should as an entertainer.”
"Let me hammer something home. I am sick and I am tired of hearing people say, like Barack Obama did, like Hillary Clinton did, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"Guess what? You can't call the President of the United States for ten years Adolph Hitler, and you can't say that he's a fascist dictator, and you can't say that anyone who voted for Trump or advocated for him... are Nazis..."
"And then when someone tries to kill us, you can't suddenly say, 'oh, we condemn this violence'."
"You caused it... when you tell people that someone is Hitler, you are telling crazy people 'go k*ll them'!"
@ClayTravis has got this exactly right. You can't engage in non-stop character assassination without expecting there will be political assassination.
🚨 RAND PAUL to SUBPOENA Dr. Fauci to testify under oath after Fauci was caught demanding emails be DELETED to cover his tracks
Biden’s supposed “pardon” for Fauci does NOT cover lying to Congress.
Charging Fauci with perjury is the quickest route to throwing him in prison.
Paul is demanding a LAUNDRY LIST of information Fauci had or used between Jan. 2018 and Jan. 2023, outlined in his letter to Fauci
Rand is digging deep here.
