Not every day does a large cargo vessel get booted from U.S. waters after the discovery of invasive insects from China.

According to marine news website gCaptain, a Panama-flagged bulk carrier called M/V Pan Jasmine was anchored downriver from New Orleans on July 17 when the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) discovered five different pests, including two species (namely Cerambycidae, a type of beetle, and Myrmicinae, colonizing queen ants) that are known to pose a significant agriculture threats to U.S. farmland.

The significant presence of pests onboard the vessel forced CBP to expel it from U.S. waters.

New Orleans Area Port Director Terri Edwards said if the vessel offloaded with dunnage filled with pests, “it would have been put in a Louisiana landfill where the insects could crawl out and invade the local habitat, causing incalculable damage.”

CCP Politburo members are running very late on receiving their lead injections. Truth be told, deep down, MANY Chinese nationals would be pleased if these people did receive their lead injections. Yes, 98% of Chinese citizens claim to be happy with the actions of senior CCP members, yet 90% claim to despise their local leadership. Of course, criticism of the CCP (rather than local officials) is punishable. Coming soon to Kanadahar (Canada) under Prime Mistake True-dope.
