Shocking Hi-Res Photo of an Ant's Face Is Enough to Make You Never Sleep Again

Summer is over, and for some, that means an end to encroaching ants. As many a homeowner knows, during the hottest days of the year, the tiny insects will take over kitchens in search of a hydrating haven.
In response to such an infiltration, traps and poison may be used; but have you ever just let the little critters do their jobs? If they’re looking for water or food and you keep an immaculate place, they’ll likely soon move on to another possible Promised Land.
For those who take the passive approach, maybe ants even appear curiously cute.
But what if you were to discover the vermin are demonic miniatures? What if you were to find their faces are the stuff of which nightmares are made?
“If” no longer applies, thanks to a new hi-resolution picture circulating online.
Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas has won a Nikon Image of Distinction award amid the camera company’s 2022
Photomicrography Competition. Eugenijus earned the accolade via his capturing of a carpenter ant, and the portrait is heinously horrifying.
Rebekah McKendry, PhD, tweeted the photo accompanied by the caption, “Image from a horror movie? Nope. That’s the very real face of an ant. An ant. Now you have to think about that all night.”

How’d you like to have an army of those in your house? Of course, that’s exactly what you’ve had — most likely. And winter’s approaching; ants will invade to get out of the cold. Or to escape the rain or snow.
The photograph brings to mind Dracula’s wicked wolf creature. It also resembles the vampire’s blood-sucking bat:

Back to ants in your pants house, exterminator JC Ehrlich has advice on giving it your best Van Helsing:
Carpenter ants are known to cause the most damage of all the different species of ants that commonly infest structures. … These relentless insects will threaten the structural stability of homes by digging into wood to build their nests. …
The first line of defense most people turn to when it comes to ant infestations are DIY ant control solutions. This often includes borax or natural remedies like cinnamon. At first, these remedies might be effective, but will they eradicate the entire colony? Not likely. …
It’s one thing to apply treatment to a couple ants you see scurrying across your kitchen counters, but it won’t do much unless you get the source of your ant infestation.
A pest control company is the best line of defense when it comes to eliminating carpenter ants…
Or, judging by the award-winning photo, maybe you should get a crucifix.
Either way, after removal, prevention is key:
list of 4 items
• Seal entrance points like doors, windows and building foundations
• Keep food in airtight containers
• Clean food and drink spills immediately
• Trim trees and bushes to keep away from home
list end
For those of you who’ve already erased that evil face from your memory, as a reminder — and for your Halloween haunting — here’s what you could soon have crawling all over you:

Good luck…to us all.
Oh, and by the way — enjoy your house’s jumping spiders, too:

Isaiah 41 13 1 Thesalonians 4 3 and 5 22
1971 was the year we started sacrificing out children to Baal to follow the evil ways of this world under Satan and his technology that controls us by removing God's reality where the riches of God's earth are backed by pure gold, not hot air.
All you need to do, people of this world as we know it, is to wake up from the nightmare you're walking into and begin to see the light of the truth about God and His purpose in us through Jesus and the blood of His cross and how it is about cleansing the world from its sin in order to prepare it to become what it was meant to be: a world under God's truth after Satan has been exposed and realized.
God wants us all to be with Him in a place where no one needs and no one wants which is the foundation of God's rainbow covenant with us in Jesus Christ.
A reminder of God's wrath and the devastation that we are bringing upon ourselves as we have been walking deeper into the darkness that wants to engulf us and suffocate the light that came to save us. No matter how dim your light has gotten, when you turn to come to Jesus, you come as you are from where you are to allow God's grace through Him to cleanse your mind and heal your body as He will begin to work in you, through you and all around you as you become more and more a beacon of His light that follows the trail that leads you from the enemy of God that lurks in the blindness and the darkness of the lies that leads into the death and to the hopelessness of the Hell that Jesus warns about. 1 John
Hell is real and fear takes you there. God's wrath is upon us and you have to learn to believe and begin to understand it in order to survive it.
Turn to the light and ask Jesus to help you.

Genesis 1 27-31
God completed mankind when He made woman from man and gave him his perfect mate in marriage which is God's union of one flesh with two souls that follow one Spirit who together learn the blessings of this union through God's law that became the family of the righteous love of God's will and commitment to His purpose in us: that is, to prosper and seek the wisdom in God's truth that leads us to Him.
Faith in Jesus Christ is confidence in what we can not fully understand. 1 John 4 4

This guy didn't shower for 60 years, ate rotten animals, smoked animal dookie, and lived to be 94 years old. Rest in peace, legend.

When we were kids our grandmas would remark on how dirty we were by looking in our ears and saying, "You could grow potatoes in there!" Well, my grandma said that, sometimes.

'World's dirtiest man' Amou Haji — who last showered 60 years ago — dead at 94

An Iranian hermit who had been unofficially dubbed the "world's dirtiest man" after not showering for some 60 years has died at age 94, state media reported.
Amou Haji – not his real name, but an endearing nickname given to elderly people – reportedly died Sunday in the village of Dejgah.
Haji, known for his grime-covered skin and matted hair, abstained from washing because he believed soap and water would make him sick. He lived in isolation for most of his life in an open brick hut, which villagers made after he started sleeping in a hole in the ground.
Locals attributed Haji's eccentricity to "emotional setbacks" in his youth. In 2014, the Tehran Times reported that Haji also avoided fresh food, opting instead for rotted porcupine, and smoked a pipe of animal excrement.
I mean did anyone ever swing by this fellow's abode and tell him, you know:
I guess he just didn't care, though in the end it sounds like he got a little bit clean:
In the end, it is possible that Haji's concerns were somewhat warranted. Just a few months before his death, village officials reported, "villagers had taken him to a bathroom to wash." It is unclear if the cleaning effort was successful.
You can only imagine the firepower they needed to get that fellow clean:
Well, he lived life on his own terms, I guess. RIP.

Transgender Volleyball Player Severely Injures Female High School Opponent
Madeline Leesman
October 24, 2022 11:15 AM
A North Carolina high school volleyball player sustained a severe head injury after a transgender player spiked the ball at her head “abnormally fast,” according to a video of the incident.
The female player’s male-bodied opponent spiked the volleyball at approximately 70 mph, the Daily Mail reported. One bystander told the outlet that the spike was “abnormally fast” and struck the player’s head and neck.
After the incident, which occurred in September, the Cherokee County Board of Education voted 5-1 for the Hiwassee Dam High School girls volleyball team to forfeit games against Highlands School. The female athlete who was injured played for Highlands, according to Fox News. She is still recovering from “long-term concussion symptoms,” including vision problems. She has not been approved to compete again.
“The county will not participate in any volleyball games, varsity or junior varsity, against Highlands due to safety concerns,” the board said, according to a write-up of the meeting.
Education First Alliance noted that Cherokee Board Member Joe Wood said during the meeting that he would “never put a child in a position to be seriously injured,” adding that “a coach of 40 years said they’d never seen a hit like this.”
A video of the incident was shared online late last week.

According to the board’s document, Hiwassee Dam’s athletic director, David Payne, supported the decision, claiming that “there is a competitive advantage and a safety concern for certain teams – it’s not the same for all teams.” He added that there were “mixed feelings” from athletes about competing against Highlands in the future.
Ian Miller at Outkick noted how male-bodied “transgender” athletes are often allowed to compete in women’s sports to protect and affirm their feelings rather than prioritizing the safety of the females athletes.
“The dominant cultural conversation around transgender athletes, usually biological males, competing in girls and women’s sports has generally focused on the happiness of the male involved.
Instead of asking the girls how they feel about being forced to compete at a disadvantage after training and working hard to maximize their abilities, schools, administrators, corporations and the media choose to prioritize the feelings of the transgender person involved.
By focusing more on appeasing the gender activists who push for unrestricted competition at the expense of girls and women, these institutions have enabled this kind of behavior.
Their ideology and political agenda requires them to ignore the fundamental biological differences between men and women.
So young girls, through no fault of their own, are placed at increased risk to placate radical gender activists.”
Earlier this year, the issue of biological males competing in women’s sports came to the forefront because of Will “Lia” Thomas, who competed on the women’s swim team at University of Pennsylvania after competing on the men’s team for three consecutive years. . Thomas made headlines for breaking records competing against women and taking home an NCAA Division I title at the NCAA championships in March.
During the swim season, several of Thomas’ female teammates spoke to news outlets about the situation on the condition of anonymity. One female UPenn swimmer told The Washington Examiner that Thomas “compares herself to Jackie Robinson” and “mocks” competing on the women’s team, as Townhall covered. In addition, a teammate told Daily Mail that Thomas makes the women’s locker room uncomfortable, which Matt covered.
“It’s definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,” the swimmer told Daily Mail. “But we were basically told that we could not ostracize Lia by not having her in the locker room and that there’s nothing we can do about it, that we basically have to roll over and accept it, or we cannot use our own locker room.”
In the aftermath, many states and school districts have instated policies banning transgender athletes from girls’ sports.
In June, the Independent Women’s Forum hosted a rally to protect women’s sports from male-bodied athletes on the 50th anniversary of Title IX. During the rally, several athletes I spoke to said they are concerned about the future of women’s sports if transgender athletes continue to compete against women.
"I have firsthand knowledge of what it feels like to line up next to a male-bodied athlete," world champion track athlete Cynthia Monteleone told Townhall. "I'm also a coach to young athletes and Olympians. And for my young athletes, it's really important that when I teach them lessons like 'hard work pays off' that that rings true...that lesson falls apart when they have to line up next to someone who, quite literally, can be a mediocre athlete and still win."

A high school teacher was placed on leave after parents complained about an assignment he gave about little girls watching a man masturbate
NTB Staff
Oct 19, 2022 · NottheBee.com
A public high school teacher in California gave his students an assignment that included descriptions of young girls seeing a grown adult masturbating and asked the kids in his class to describe what was happening in the story.
Libs of TikTok is doing the Lord's work and she has exposed this teacher on her website.
James Logan High School teacher, Tom Mijares, has been placed on leave, pending an investigation, for posting an assignment that included an essay that graphically described 9-year-old girls watching a grown man masturbate until completion.
Libs of TikTok received a copy of the 10th grade assignment from an anonymous source.
Here is a copy of the assignment [CONTENT WARNING]:
Somehow, there are copious grammatical errors in this school assignment, because teaching language and grammar only comes second to grooming.
Here's one disgusting and disturbing excerpt (sorry, but you need to know what they are teaching your kids).
[Warning: Graphic Sexual Content]
Our 9-year-old eyes followed hairy hippie butt cracked mildew showered stall [sic]. Lather from watered down No More Tears trickled down to the body parts we were much too young to pronounce [sic]. He loved to wash ‘down there,' you know it. And he'd yank up his droopy it thing to soap up pink, furry private flesh.
It gets much worse from there, but you get the picture.
This is a description of a grown man pleasuring himself in the shower through the eyes of 9-YEAR-OLD GIRLS!
This is just a perverted dude writing about his deviant sexual fantasies and trying to pass them off as a school assignment.
Parents were outraged when they learned about this.
James Logan principal, Ron Polk, sent a memo to families and staff to address the "inappropriate" assignment. He wrote, "Late last week, the district became aware of an assignment posted by a teacher at James Logan high school which was completely inappropriate for K-12 students." Polk also stated that Mijares, who has been with the school district for nine years, is on leave until a comprehensive investigation is completed.
The dude's a pervert and needs to be locked up.
Public schools are no place for children.
