‘Biblical Emergence’ Sparks Plague-Like Outbreak in Chicago
Chicago, Illinois, is shaping up to have a wild week, and we haven’t even reached night one of the Democratic National Convention.
Before the festivities, or protests, took place, the Windy City was hit with a generational swarm of cicadas that brought with them a nasty little surprise.
With the arrival of the cicadas came the oak leaf itch mite, which cicada expert Dr. Gene Kritsky told NBC that they “can be seen in vast quantities following a cicada emergence.”

This pestilence hit Chicago back in 2007, when Kritsky said scientists discovered the mites were buried in with the egg nests of Brood XIII cicadas.
As reported by the Daily Star, “That exact brood was one of the two to emerge during the historic emergence earlier this year, which Kritsky described as ‘biblical.'”
The mites bring with them a nasty little stinger on their rear ends and can cause severe irritation, and this brood of cicadas still has thousand of eggs left to hatch, so the annoyance of the mites is far from over.
“People should avoid sitting under the trees until after the eggs hatch in mid-August,” says Kritsky.
The winged terrors arrived back in Chicago just in time for the DNC which has already seen pro-Hamas protests, an inflatable IUD, on-demand abortion and vasectomies provided by Planned Parenthood and who knows what else the week will bring.
You can’t tell me God doesn’t have a sense of humor.
All joking aside, this week has already shown how desperately needed repentance is in America. Far too many have not just turned away from the things of God, but are actively driving people toward the ways of Satan.
Jesus is the cure to the mental and spiritual illness that has taken root in this country, and He is the only way to right the course of our nation before it is too late.
