Murder Hornets Appear to Have Been Driven Out of the U.S.
Newsweek ^ | BY ROBYN WHITE ON 10/17/22

Murder hornets may have been eradicated from the United States as Washington recorded no sightings so far this year.

Called Northern giant hornets, or Asian giant hornets, the insects are the largest species of hornet in the world. They are native to Asia, and an invasive species in the U.S. that poses a great risk to the native ecosystem. Scientists are not sure how the species entered the country, though some suspect they may have come from an illegal importation.

The WSDA recorded new sightings of the insect over the next two years. But this year in Washington, there have been none. Nearly 1,400 giant hornet traps were set up over the summer (some from the WSDA, some volunteer) that yielded no captures... The species were first detected in Blaine, Washington in December 2019, according to the Washington State Department of Agriculture, (WSDA), as well as in British Columbia.

Fauci is working on a gain of function for deadlier more hardy hornets.

They’re resting and perhaps pining for the fjords!

Hudson Hornet was a great car. They say only 19 are left in the world today (around $77,000 to buy one).
As a kid we had three Hudsons in the first 5 years of my life.

Oh, so America is not good enough for them anymore.
I guess they’ll be stinging other people now.

When I was a kid in Cleveland in the 60s I remember Hudsons in the local stock car races. Twin H Power was under the hood.

Biden didn’t have anything to do with this. I remember reading a story about these “murder hornets” when they first appeared. (Before FJB came down the pike). The article interviewed these guys and gals up in the northwest who had made it their job to get rid of these hornets before they could destroy our bees. They already had a plan laid out and they were very confident they would be able to exterminate them. Obviously, they were right. Way to go guys! Biden can KMA.

They did serve their purpose. They were brought out to scare anyone who wasn’t scared enough by the lockdowns, layoffs, fascist laws, statistics and daily scare briefings.

Paul Newman was the voice of "Doc Hudson" in the movie Cars.
