C dans l'air du 25 juin 2026 - Trump lance sa fête à Washington... et lâche tout à l'IranC'est par un discours politique, au cœur de Washington, que Donald Trump a lancé hier les festivités pour les 250 ans des États-Unis. Sans beaucoup s'étendre sur les principes de la Déclaration d'indépendance du 4 juillet 1776, marquant la rupture de la jeune nation américaine avec la monarchie absolue britannique, le président des États-Unis a vanté son bilan et étrillé ses prédécesseurs.« Je suis ravi de vous dire que l'Amérique est de retour. Comme vous le savez très bien, il y a peu de temps, nous étions un pays mort. Maintenant, nous sommes le pays le plus excitant du monde », a-t-il lancé, en assurant que son gouvernement livrait « une victoire après l'autre pour le peuple américain ».Mais alors même qu'il avait fait du pouvoir d'achat le pilier de son programme lors de sa campagne, l'économie du pays reste en berne. L'inflation est repartie et les prix ont explosé depuis l'offensive israélo-américaine en Iran. Ce qui vaut à Donald Trump une cote de popularité au plus bas et une avalanche de critiques.Plus les jours passent, plus Donald Trump ne parvient pas à conclure le conflit avec l'Iran à son avantage. Téhéran fanfaronne et assure désormais que le protocole conclu avec Washington est « la déclaration de défaite de l'Amérique », tandis qu'aux États-Unis, la guerre laisse un goût amer. Des commentateurs républicains dénoncent une capitulation et 65 % des Américains désapprouvent la façon dont Donald Trump a géré la situation. La flambée des prix et les pertes humaines pèsent lourd dans le mécontentement grandissant de la population, mais aussi au Congrès. Donald Trump a ainsi essuyé hier un nouveau revers politique sur le sujet. Comme la Chambre des représentants plus tôt ce mois-ci, le Sénat a adopté une résolution demandant la fin des opérations contre l'Iran. Le camouflet est d'autant plus grand que les républicains sont majoritaires au Congrès et que ce vote complique les négociations à venir avec l'Iran.Au-delà de ce sujet, ce sont bien des questions de politique intérieure, et notamment la rénovation du mythique bassin de Washington pour près de 15 millions de dollars, qui passionnent Donald Trump et les Américains. Infestation d'algues, peinture qui se décolle, couleur verdâtre... Le projet autour du miroir d'eau, régulièrement mis en avant par le président, ne cesse de connaître des déboires et d'être critiqué à l'approche du Jour de l'indépendance, la fête nationale des États-Unis, le 4 juillet. Jusqu'à devenir un feuilleton médiatique et politique dans le pays. Le président des États-Unis, rejetant tout couac, a accusé des « saboteurs » de « vandalisme » et a menacé lundi de prison toute personne qui s'en prendrait physiquement à ce projet cher à ses yeux.Pendant ce temps, Emmanuel Macron et Giorgia Meloni s'affichent ensemble à Antibes pour une première rencontre bilatérale depuis plus de trois ans, tandis qu'au Moyen-Orient, des zones d'ombre demeurent quant à la situation dans le détroit d'Ormuz et aux conditions de sa réouverture.Nos experts :- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste à Franceinfo TV et spécialiste des questions internationales- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, autrice de Requiem pour le monde libre- Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique - Le Figaro, autrice de Les fantômes de Munich - Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des relations internationales

In today's Daily Fix:Data reported on by Game File's Stephen Totilo show a steady decline in sales for Sony's first-party games. Despite a roster of heavy hitters such as Ghost of Tsushima, the Spider-Man games, God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, and others, they've moved fewer and fewer of those games every year (with the exception of fiscal year 2020). However, Ghost of Yōtei did reverse this trend, providing a small sales bump for the fiscal year ending March 2026. In other news, Bethesda's Fallout 76 will be getting its long-awaited current-gen update this summer. A patch note in the latest "Infestations" update revealed that a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade is coming in a few months.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Mark 10:32-45 – The disciples were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them what was going to happen to Him. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes,  and they will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles who will mock Him, spit upon Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death, but after three days He will rise.” Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” He replied, “What do you wish Me to do for you?” They answered Him, “Grant that in Your glory we may sit one at Your right and the other at Your left.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” They said to Him, “We can.” Jesus said to them, “The chalice that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at My right or at My left is not Mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Memorial of Saint Augustine of Canterbury, Priest Saint Augustine, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

fWotD Episode 3304: Intraproboscis Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 22 May 2026, is Intraproboscis.Intraproboscis is a genus of Acanthocephala (thorny-headed or spiny-headed parasitic worms) containing a single species, Intraproboscis sanghae. Found in central Africa, it infests the black-bellied pangolin and the tree pangolin, which are both threatened with extinction. The genus is described from several females and one incomplete male. Female worms reach up to 180 mm long (mostly trunk) and 2 mm wide; males seem to be smaller in all dimensions. The body consists of a long, narrow trunk and a tubular proboscis covered with hooks, which is used for feeding and attachment. The proboscis has 34 to 36 rows of 6 to 7 hooks at the front and 15 to 17 spinelike hooks on the back that are used to pierce and hold the host's intestinal wall.This genus closely resembles the genus Mediorhynchus but differs in having mammalian hosts instead of avian hosts, a simple proboscis receptacle that is completely suspended within the proboscis, and a complete lack of neck. The first discovery of a parareceptacle structure, a distinct sac-like structure adjacent to the proboscis receptacle, in the class Archiacanthocephala was from Intraproboscis and represents an important taxonomic and evolutionary bridge between different acanthocephalan groups.The life cycle of I. sanghae remains unknown but, in common with other acanthocephalans, it likely involves a complex life cycle with at least two hosts. The intermediate host of Intraproboscis has not been definitively identified, but it is believed to be an arthropod, such as an insect. Within this host, the larvae develop into an infectious stage called a cystacanth. When a vertebrate consumes the intermediate host, the cystacanths enter the vertebrate’s intestines where they mature into adult worms and reproduce sexually, and it becomes the definitive host. The resulting eggs are expelled and hatch into new larvae. Infestation by I. sanghae can cause intestinal perforation and death in the black-bellied pangolin.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:22 UTC on Friday, 22 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Intraproboscis on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Justin.

In this episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, Travis McGowin and Michael Wienecke dive deep into the world of carpenter ants, the “other” wood-destroying insect that can cause significant, often undetected damage to a home. The team discusses how these pests differ from termites, highlighting their tendency to gnaw on wood for nesting rather than food. Through engaging stories—including a “detective” case in Prattville involving sawdust in a bathroom and a cautionary tale about a tree collapsing due to structural compromise—they explain the signs of an infestation and the importance of home maintenance. You'll also learn about the fascinating, “mutualistic” relationship between ants and aphids, and why Michael insists that the textbooks might be wrong about when these insects are most active. Like us on Facebook! Podcast Transcript:Introduction and Initial ReactionsTravis McGowin: How would you feel if you discovered that there was an insect essentially chewing on your house, other than termites?Michael Wienecke: I would be devastated and upset.Travis McGowin: Devastated and upset, those are your big emotions.Michael Wienecke: Distraught.Travis McGowin: Oh, distraught. Is there a difference between being distraught and devastated and upset?Michael Wienecke: Unnerved.Travis McGowin: We're just going to pull out every descriptive word we can think of now.Michael Wienecke: No, but seriously, I mean, one of the biggest investments that I have, yes, I would be very upset and I would call Pesky’s Pest Control and be like, “Hey, get rid of this problem for me, whatever it is, whatever's munching on my home.”Travis McGowin: You're not biased at all to the company, are you?Michael Wienecke: No, not at all. Just saying, call a reputable company and let them come and evaluate.Identifying Carpenter AntsTravis McGowin: Well, so what I'm getting at here is a very specific insect, and the one I am currently referring to is the carpenter ant.Michael Wienecke: Yes, we have been seeing a ton of carpenter ants. I have a lot in my driveway right now, just crawling all around.Travis McGowin: You know, the interesting thing is that carpenter ants can go unnoticed for so long due to a couple of reasons. Obviously, they are gnawing on wood, and most of the time wood is going to be in a not-so-visible place inside your house—inside the walls, inside the attic, the framing, the studs, that sort of thing. So, they can go undetected for so long until the damage is so significant and the population is so large. But what are some signs that you might actually be dealing with carpenter ants?Signs of InfestationMichael Wienecke: Well, I was going to say, unless it's a brick home, but you kept going, so…Travis McGowin: I stole your thunder, I'm sorry.Michael Wienecke: You stole my thunder. What are some signs? Well, the first sign would be carpenter ants, that would be the first sign. The second sign would be things getting kicked out of the baseboards or even little holes, sawdust, dead little insects, decapitated bodies, legs, antennae.Travis McGowin: Sounds like very violent little creatures.Michael Wienecke: Hey, they are clean little creatures, I will say that. They keep it smooth and they don't want anything messing up their home.Travis McGowin: You know, the very interesting thing too, and I'm going to touch on what you said a second ago about obviously seeing carpenter ants, however, there's one little fact that a lot of people don't know or don't realize as to why they might actually not physically see the carpenter ant itself. Can you guess why?Michael Wienecke: Is it because they are nocturnal?Travis McGowin: Absolutely.Michael Wienecke: Well, excuse me, hold on, they're not nocturnal, that's not the right thing to say. They feed in the nighttime, which is at night.Travis McGowin: Nocturnal is a very good…Michael Wienecke: Well, that's not fair because I've got them in the daytime… I don't know what's the word.Travis McGowin: I mean, yeah, you'll see an occasional carpenter ant out foraging around and doing things in the daytime, but the vast majority of them are going to be running around at night. That's where a lot of times if you have looked and you've got some sort of damage obviously from an insect that destroys wood and you feel like it's not a termite, then the time to really go out and scout is actually after dark.Michael Wienecke: I disagree with you 100% and I disagree with the book 100%. I think the best time to go out is early morning and late afternoon. I don't think you need to go out that late. I'm just saying, that's the one thing where I'm like, “The book’s got it wrong.”Travis McGowin: Questioning everything, Travis.Case Study: Prattville HomeTravis McGowin: Well, I will say that I have seen it both ways, actually. So, I had a customer over in the Prattville area that was obviously having some sort of carpenter ant issue they knew about, in between their first and second floor behind the sheetrock. It was kind of interesting, the bulk of the area where the issue was was tied to the ceiling above the master bathroom that was located on the first floor. And so, they actually would have bits of sawdust and, like you said, the insect parts, dead insect parts, fall from the vent fan that was located above the toilet and land on the toilet seat. So, they would like clean their toilet and then a little while later there would be like sawdust and everything else falling from the ceiling and getting on the toilet seat.Michael Wienecke: So, how, just curious, did they clean up all that after…? Did you do a treatment? How did that go?Travis McGowin: Yeah, absolutely. So, I inspected the house first and foremost to ensure that it was in fact carpenter ants that we were dealing with. And I did find a select few very large black ants that were scattered throughout little areas of the house on the first and second floor, kind of localized to that corner of the house where that bathroom was. So, I did, of course, believe we were dealing with carpenter ants.Travis McGowin: And then it became detective work. So, a lot of times you can have a carpenter ant nest inside of a house—it's not out of the realm of possibility—but I wasn't finding that type or amount of activity that led me to believe that they were taking up residence in a wall or in the ceiling or something like that. So, I started looking around the outside of the house, got to that outside brick veneer area that was kind of adjacent to that master bathroom, and started kind of stopping and looking around on the ground during the daytime. So, this proves a little bit of your theory that the books are wrong.Michael Wienecke: I'm telling you, it's only one thing.Travis McGowin: I'm ignoring you. Anyway, so I did find one or two carpenter ants running around on the ground, and then at that point, I started investigating the trees that were immediately to that side of the house. And I actually took a really cool video of it, but I found a tree that towards the bottom of the trunk of the tree had a giant hole in it. And I believe I just kind of like messed with the tree, kind of like kicked at it a little bit, caused some vibration, that sort of thing. And out of nowhere comes just this massive amount of carpenter ants coming out of this hole and I was like, “Oh, well, looks like I found the nest.” So, of course, obviously treated the nest, treated the house, customer has had zero problems with carpenter ants since that day.Nesting Habits and MoistureMichael Wienecke: Well, that is great because that's what we want to do, right? We want 100% satisfaction. So, let's talk about—I love how you said the nest and luckily it wasn't in their house, but they can also do satellite nests. So, you can have a nest in your house and then a nest outside in the tree. So, in large infestations, which typically take what, three to five years to get fully invested… Another thing too is they don't just nest in trees, they'll nest in the ground. In that particular home, was there any—why were they going to the bathroom? Was there any moisture issues there, any rot?Travis McGowin: Not that I saw. So, let me rephrase a little bit about the structure or the design of the house. So, the house actually did have a basement area underneath it. I did not personally see any moisture issues going on. Doesn't mean that they weren't there, just during my inspection I didn't see any obvious signs of, like you said, rotted or damaged wood, any idea that there could be a leak in the roof or something like that. I mean, they again, could have been there, but I didn't see any obvious signs or anything like that during the inspection.Risks and DamageMichael Wienecke: Gotcha. Well, let's talk about them other than, you know, a pest that destroys your home. You know, other than that, they really don't… They have the ability to bite, but they don't—they're typically not very aggressive in all the ants that we deal with. But they do have the ability to bite. So, biggest thing is just, I wouldn't get into a nest. I wouldn't mess with like a bunch of them at one time, you might have a problem, but one or two is completely fine.Travis McGowin: I think more so than the potential threat, like you said, of them retaliating against you, I really think that the frustration from these ants certainly comes more from their economic impact from just structural damage or physical damage of a house or of a property. You know, I would even think that in like, for example, in the case of that house that we were just discussing, if you had carpenter ants that were say, nesting in a tree, destroying a tree, well, I mean over time, you know, I would think that there's the potential that that tree could be structurally compromised if it's close to your structure, a storm comes through, is it going to weaken the trunk of that tree, is it more susceptible to fall on your house? I mean, I think that there's some more ongoing, extensive issues with them other than just them damaging your house directly.Michael Wienecke: 100%. Well, I mean, it goes into kind of what we talked about too, just the house maintenance. I feel like we talk about that with every issue. It's like just, you know, clean your house up, you know, fix your house, just, you know, get all the rotten wood, which I've got some that I gotta take care of this year too. So…Termites vs. Carpenter AntsTravis McGowin: Well, wood-destroying insects can—speaking of damaging trees—we had some termites eating in the roots of a tree in my front yard at one point. Got rid of the termites, obviously the tree was still dead. We left the house one morning, left the house, came back that evening, and there was a tree, that specific tree was laying in my front yard. It fell over. There was no storm, there was no rough winds or anything like that. The tree was just like, “I'm done,” and it just fell over in the front yard. Thankfully missing our house and obviously just leaving a mess in the front yard that we had to saw up and get rid of. But yeah, that structural damage for whatever length of time from the termites obviously weakened that tree and, you know, that could have been very serious, happening in the middle of the night and landed on our house or something like that from a life-safety standpoint, but it also could have been serious structural damage for our home.Michael Wienecke: Or your car, or you, or you know, something like that. So they definitely can cause damage. I think the biggest thing, though, is don't be alarmed when you see them in your house. How many major infestations have you seen from carpenter ants?Travis McGowin: Not many. You know, obviously not near as much carpenter ant activity in a house as say, an Argentine ant or something like that. I've definitely not seen where carpenter ants have been quite as big of an issue as some other breeds that we deal with.Michael Wienecke: Well, they don't want your home. I mean, they want something that's just nasty, rotten, something that they can really, you know, thrive off of.Foraging and AphidsTravis McGowin: Well, and they also, you know, from a food standpoint, they most of the time will actually eat honeydew, which is produced by an insect called an aphid. And a lot of times it's kind of like this mutual relationship between the carpenter ants and the aphids, where the carpenter ants will cause the aphids to, you know, excrete honeydew, which is like a sugary liquid that they'll feed the colony with. And the ants recognize the aphids as a food source, so they'll actually kind of protect the aphids from predators or whatever other predators prey on aphids. And then they'll even carry, you know, some food items that the aphids like to them to ensure that the aphids still, you know, stay alive and are able to produce honeydew. So it's kind of interesting how they'll have this mutual relationship to survive and thrive. And typically, you're not going to have an aphid infestation in your home; it's going to be up in a tree or wherever they're residing. So, yeah, the infestations in a home are a lot less, from what I've seen, not quite as common.Michael Wienecke: More aphid, more problem.Travis McGowin: Is that the saying?Michael Wienecke: I mean, typically with ants, yes. The more aphids you have, the more problems you will have. The post Identifying and Managing Carpenter Ant Infestations appeared first on Peskies Pest Control.

Imagine feeling an unbearable itch, convinced that tiny insects are crawling under your skin. But no doctor believes you. You try to prove it, collecting samples, documenting everything. But under a microscope? Nothing is there. That was Paula Cox’s experience with delusional infestation, a rare disorder where people are absolutely certain they’re infested with bugs, despite all evidence to the contrary. In this episode, Paula shares her harrowing experience, and experts - a leading entomologist and a psychiatrist-dermatologist - explain what’s really happening in the brain and how healing is possible. Suggested episodes: Body Integrity Dysphoria: When being disabled is a desire When every face you see is distorted: Living with PMO GUESTS: Dr. Gale Ridge: an entomologist and Associate Scientist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven. She oversees the daily activities of the insect inquiry office. She’s also the editor of The Physician's Guide to Delusional Infestation Paula Cox: a woman in Australia who experienced delusional infestation. She started a Facebook support group called “Delusional parasitosis help” Dr. John Koo: a Professor of Dermatology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center and Director of the UCSF Psoriasis Skin and Treatment Center.
