Bed bugs are a menace because they are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. You can usually find them in furniture, beds, and other regions where people rest or sleep. Bed bugs are hard to detect, reproduce rapidly, and resistant to many insecticides. They can be the root cause of significant discomfort, including itchy and painful bites, sleep disturbances, and psychological distress. Bed bugs can also be challenging to eliminate once they infest a home or building. They can hide in cracks and crevices, making it difficult to find and eliminate all of them. Bed bugs can also travel from one location to another by hitching rides on clothing, luggage, or other personal items. How Do Bed Bug Traps Work?

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the Nashville mass shooter: The Nashville mass shooting, which resulted in the killing of three children and three adults, needs to be investigated as a hate crime against Christians. Police Chief John Drake told NBC News that “There’s some belief that there was some resentment for having to go to that school.” The shooter, Audrey Hale, is a female who misidentified herself as a male. Her resentment against The Covenant School, a Christian school, is important given that Christianity teaches we are either male or female. In all likelihood, this is the source of her resentment. After all, she targeted this school—she did not go on a rampage in a local public school. To top things off, her mother works at a local church and frequently posts about religion on social media. There is another reason why Hale’s killing spree must be investigated...
