We’ve had two bad cricket infestations in NE Oklahoma-Arkansas in the last 40 years. One in 1979, and one around 2005. The rest of the time they were just nuisances.

Then the year after, came a blister bug infestation.

Too hot — we’re gonna die.
Too cold — we’re gonna die.
“perfect” weather conditions — the crickets are gonna get us.

Normal weather blamed for normal insects.
All because Donald Trump was elected.

Weather? I’ve seen them so bad in Dallas, TX that you tires would slide all over the street. They would use the fire department to hose down streets in order to drive.

If those crickets were actually edible a lot of Mexicans, Chinese and Japanese would (literally!) swarm in and grab them all to be processed into food.

It’s just like liberals who leave their destroyed former state and infest the next one.

I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston TX which is actually in San Antonio, in 1973. It was swarming with crickets even then. At night I’d walk down the sidewalks to the sounds of crickets being squashed. The fire ants built their mounds right along the sidewalks because they knew that every night they got free meals. There were even swarms of crickets that lived in the ceilings of the barracks. Lift a ceiling panel and you’d get a bunch of crickets falling out.

I always figured that the lizard population had been dramatically reduced.

Oct. 11 (UPI) — Experts said an influx of crickets that some San Antonio residents have called a “plague” resulted from “perfect” weather conditions that allowed the insects to thrive this year.

Native San Antonian here. First I’ve heard of this “plague”.

I hear crickets from the corrupt news media whenever the democrats get caught up in another criminal scandal.

I would first check to see if the Socialist Castro brothers were in town before I made that determination.
