Muslim gay pride festival in London, locust swarms.
No, I didn’t include the Barry McGuire video. Too Cold War, ya know. But I could faintly hear it. LOL (now have the video up - interesting footage)
We live in interesting times.
Frogs. Can’t forget about the frogs.
It all seems so familiar. Like I’ve read about it before or something.
Gay frogs?
Me too. In some piece of material that starts with “B” I believe. It may have been the Babylonian Bee, or it may be some place else.

Kipling was a prophet (full poem may be found on my homepage)
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Yikes
We know the birth pangs will accelerate as the time draws nearer.

I was trying to find a video that showed them devouring a crop in seconds, as has been reported, but I guess Kenyans are not standing around with their smartphones while their farms are being eaten.
They are coldblooded, so they crawl along the ground before the sun rises and warms them up and then they become a swarm.
They are eating anything that moves in their local markets so eat bugs too
The plagues.
Buy stock in fondue
At least we won't be able to say we were not warned.
First corona virus. Now, locusts. Is God telling cheating, tech thieving, communist China something?
