Hello there! Welcome to The Fairy Lady's Comedy Hour.

As I mentioned in yesterday's news, sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't join the Elephant 🐘 Testicles 🫁 Watchers 🔭 Club 🏵️, ya know! Like about as useful as watching paint 🫟 dry. Or wasting my time doing the Chicken Little thing, THE SKY IS FALLING 🐥💫! Thank you for reading.

Well, today I would like to invite you aboard my Good Ship Lollipop, my sky-sailing ship of imagination, cruising among the clouds with the Yellow-feet Boobies at starboard, headed for the boonies, or how about going for a ride aboard my Mellow Yellow Submarine, complete with screen doors? Ya! Of course, we need the screen doors; the darn scuba diving horseflies are terrible around here at this time of year.

I will not be on for long today, for I have someone else's clock 🕐. I need to leave time for an appointment. I wish I could schedule the appointments to come to my house. I suppose if I had lots of money, I could do that. That's why those who earn around a million dollars a year can afford to pay for healthcare insurance. Now we know who the blood suckers are on our National Health Service, both here and in America; both are going for the rich and dropping or neglecting the poor. OK, keep on neglecting the poor until you have none left to run your government or private industries because, *REMEMBER:* EVERYONE WILL BE SICK IN BED OR DEAD!

REMEMBER COVID-19: if they hadn't come up with a vaccine in time, that bug would have really done a number on the entire world population. What about next time? With a shortage or lack of research teams in both Canada and the U.S., and funds desperately needed, the lifeblood transfusion that keeps medical institutions going is being restricted, if not blocked, by Provincial or State Thieves. In the U.S.✨🟰, Congress is the enabler to the White House Orange Pirate and his band of thieves. In Canada, they are called Corporate Welfare Beaters - THIEVES!

In Canada 🍁, it's BECAUSE OF PROVINCIAL THIEVES. The Provincial system, especially in Ontario, our dear leader Ford is doing all he can to divert health care money belonging to We, the People for our public healthcare system into private hands. To me, that means a lot of sick people who will die at home in their beds because they can't afford to see a doctor, and there is no hospital to go to.

DO YOU EFFING REALIZE THE MEGA MESS THAT WILL BE CREATED From this Mess? AND DON'T THINK BECAUSE YOU HAVE MONEY YOU'LL BE SAFE WITH YOUR OWN CONCIERGE MEDICAL HELP. VIRUSES ARE NOT CHOOSY🐛👾🦠🧪🧬

WHAT IF A PANDEMIC RUNNING WILD WERE TO STRIKE?

With all the dead bodies lying around, one couldn't even gather enough armies together to bury them all. Dead bodies mean viruses, and a lot of rodents to spread them around. Putting your head between your legs and smooch your arse or anyone else's arse, all you want, won't make any difference; the bug 🐛 will find you.*_

THINK ABOUT IT, DUNCES!

That leaves a shortage of researchers to study and develop a vaccine. THE ENTIRE PLANET COULD BE JEOPARDIZED, and why? because of weezly, greedy vampires sucking off the federal government titty

Thank you for visiting and reading the Tree House News. I will keep the Breaking News short today since I have an appointment this afternoon. Thank you again.

US and Iran intensify conflict, with naval blockade set to resume

Global oil prices have risen to their highest levels in over a month, as shipping is targeted in the Strait of Hormuz and explosions are reported in Iran.

Here's the latest:

• Strikes continue: Explosions in an Iranian port city have been reported by Iranian state media, after Iran targeted two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and US regional allies, as the conflict between the US and Iran escalates following a night of strikes by the US military.

• Ceasefire in tatters: US Central Command says it will restart its naval blockade starting at 4 p.m. ET today, and President Donald Trump says the US will impose a 20% fee on cargo moving through the strait. An Iranian security source also says Tehran will deliver a “devastating response” if the US attacks suspected underground nuclear site Pickaxe Mountain.

• Oil price rise: Global oil prices are up sharply following the collapse of the ceasefire and the threat to resume the blockade. The benchmark Brent crude rose by its highest level since June 12.

Good morning! It's another beautiful sunny Monday morning here at the Tree House Newsroom. I was sitting in my Green Space to relax and meditate, while enjoying my first cup of coffee. It is supposed to be in the 90F today, but it doesn't seem like it at this time. It is refreshing, an almost sweater-wearing refreshing. If they're right, I may be remembering the cool freshness of typing this thought here this morning, rather reverently. Well, we have a portable air conditioner that does the job if we close off all the extra rooms we don't use during the day.

My health report, in shorts 🩳. Ya know something? I have been feeling more normal every day now for the past while, and learning how to get more solid foods in me without waking up the GERD python, and I still got all my marbles, see -> ∘˙○˚.•o Hee, hee, hee, hee...

End of Report.

Now is the time for Today's Discussion.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

The Discussion today is about the popular view of the end of the world as ending in fire. I believe that if this is what you have come to understand as what is written in the book, you may want to revisit that part of the Bible and reread it.

- Google Search -

Question: Is the world really going to end in fire as stated in the Bible?

🔹AI Overview

Biblical scholars and theologians hold varying interpretations regarding whether the end of the world described in the Bible will be a literal fire.

While passages like 2 Peter 3:10 suggest the elements will melt with (INTENSE HEAT), MY NOTE, which would also mean intense light, like in the beginning. - Many traditions view this as a metaphor for divine purification, the end of an era, or the renewal of the Earth rather than its total physical destruction.

*The concept of a fiery end is primarily rooted in the New Testament writings of the Apostle Peter:*

"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the Earth and everything done in it will be laid bare."

ME - Not an empty void, but bare of anything? Back to being chaos.

Question: Science, what's in chaos

🔹AI Overview

Studies systems governed by strict, deterministic rules yet remain entirely unpredictable in the long term.

Because chaotic systems are non-linear, making long-term predictions is impossible—even with nearly perfect initial data. However, this does not mean the systems are completely random.

Chaos theory reveals that beneath apparent disorder, these systems have underlying, recurring patterns known as fractals, and they follow strict mathematical boundaries...

Read More - Google Search -

My theory is that the Fabric of chaotic space itself is an anomaly of chaotic quanta packets of potential energy and mass.

And those are my thoughts only on this topic for today. An additional idea for what the beginning/end will be: the question should be, "When is the end of the universe?" In between is an Armageddon to get through, yet to worry about. Then the thousand-year reign, just how much of the time we count in a modern-day year compared to the biblical representation of proportions of 1000 and 7's

Who or what dictated that the information be written into the books of human history for a mortal mind to conceive? I call it the voice within; we all have it if we have a conscience. It speaks from the heart, being aware of the original thought, without the distortions of other anomalous thoughts diluting it.

Now go home and say three Hail Marys or the whole rosary, depending on the weight of your bag of sins. The priest weighs them by the pound nowadays. Saves time. 🙏 AMEN! 😉

Ceasefire disintegrates as Trump says US will reinstate blockade of Iranian ships in Strait of Hormuz

Regional tensions ramp up as US strikes reach farther inland and Iran-backed Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of airport attack.

Here's The Latest

• Strikes intensify: US strikes on Iran have increased and expanded beyond coastal areas, according to reports of explosions from Iranian media, as US allies came under fire from Iran after a volatile weekend in the Middle East.

• What Trump says: US President Donald Trump again vowed to hit Iran “very hard,” criticizing Tehran for failing to agree to a deal. He also said the US would become the Strait of Hormuz’s “guardian.”

• Diplomatic breakdown: Iran says the US is undermining talks with Oman on ensuring safe passage through the strait. The weekend’s escalation has threatened the fragile agreement between Washington and Tehran.

• Oil prices climb: Brent crude and US crude prices are rising as concerns deepen over Tehran’s declared closure of the strait, with traffic dropping in the critical waterway.

• In the region: Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out strikes on the capital’s airport, warning it marks the end of a years-long de facto truce...

Lindsey Graham’s death deepens the GOP’s headaches caused by McConnell’s absence

The Kentucky Republican played a key role in spending negotiations before his hospitalization. But Graham’s unexpected death makes things even more complicated.

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death over the weekend has intensified a problem that was already hampering the GOP’s plans on defense spending: Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health.

After being hospitalized on June 14, McConnell’s monthlong absence has left lawmakers wondering when he might return. More urgently, it has created practical problems for Republicans at a pivotal moment for the Pentagon’s budget — a topic over which McConnell has disproportionate control.

Now, Graham’s death only complicates those problems.

McConnell and Graham served as two of the most powerful advocates for a hawkish foreign policy — foils to some of the more isolationist voices in President Donald Trump’s administration...

• Without McConnell, GOP committee leaders can’t advance partisan spending bills on their own, leaving negotiations even more dependent on bipartisan agreement at a time when lawmakers remain deeply divided over defense and domestic spending:
• Why the process of choosing Lindsey Graham’s successor won’t be easy:

Former public servant accused in foreign interference case involving China

Dennis Lu, retired from Natural Resources Canada, charged with breach of trust, unauthorized use of a computer

Former federal scientist in an alleged foreign interference case is accused of copying more than 2,000 documents off a shared departmental server to share with China as his lifelong career was nearing its end, CBC News has learned.

Dennis Lu faces trial in Ottawa next year. He researched clean energy with Natural Resource Canada’s Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology for decades, specializing in carbon capture and decarbonization. He was fired during the week of his scheduled retirement in August 2023.

The 65-year-old is charged under the Criminal Code with two counts of unauthorized use of a computer and one count of breach of trust relating to his federal duties. The alleged breach dates from the day Lu began a leave of absence to travel to Taiwan and China in 2023 to the date of his arrest in 2024...

THIS IS NOT AMERICA, IT'S A NAZI REGIME run by Trumpo The Typo and his Dunce Cadets with the IQ of tapeworms. Some of his sycophants may have been smarter than they sound today, but they abandoned their intellects and integrity to be closer to the actual brains behind Project 2025.

Please don't give up because you think it's beyond you to do anything to change what you see in America today. Follow what your heart tells you; it doesn't lie. The heart never lies; people only learn to deny the truth and try to convince you of a lie because they don't want to know the alternative to their lies, the truth. Being part of the syndicate pays well, but the retirement plan is a tombstone of an affair.

Those in power think that young people are more susceptible to their lies and brainwashing. They figure teens don't have the experience or knowledge of the histories and documentation behind every historical fact, especially the rise and fall of dictatorships, life under autocrats and dictators, and how hard the fall of a one-person government is. The study of world history of the Twentieth Century, ancient scripts, fictional or mythical legends, and stories can also be guides. You may be aware of the dots, but now you need the string to connect them. You can connect the dots with the aid of a library, either a physical one or

Discover how both sides of the human psyche can be simultaneously destructive and creative. Criminally insane geniuses or dumbells, it doesn't matter which; both can't see the colors of a rainbow, they can only detect shades of gray. You first have to be able to feel colors as well as see them. These greedy, lying individuals can't see colors; they can only mimic feeling and seeing them. They see only power and money. That parade of so-called amateurish dumbbell politicians is nothing more than a bunch of Dunce Cadets, Trumpo The Typo Parrots,*_

It's your business if you wanna MARVEL over this fatarse, dribbling Orange Pus Bag who, and this is NOT AN EXAGGERATION, who is building the system of detention camps to supply labor to work in the factories of the new American Nazi Oligarchs. You would be lucky even to get slave wages. Way worse than the beginning of the industrial age, with labor camps and the only place you could buy anything was the company store, which kept you in debt to them. Then come the death camps once you're useless. You think this is bullshit? The government and the Supreme Court are enemies of labor. They hate unions, EEO, and fair labor standards. Look at the federal minimum wage. What is it and when was it last raised? Can you live on it?

Ya know they promise this and promise that and do the opposite once in office. A "beautiful, new health care plan in two weeks." A Department of Justice that has become Jabba the Hutt's personal law firm. Thugs in the streets killing unarmed people, lying about doing it in self-defense. Need I say more? This president doesn't serve We, the People. He serves himself, and We, the People, pay for it.

The president's job is to protect America, seek peace among nations, not to start wars. In the 1960s, America was in a controversial, undeclared war in Vietnam. Antiwar protests happened daily. There arose a Peace Movement of young people called Hippies or Flower Children. It galvanized the antiwar movement, and over time they caused the end of the Vietnam War. RESIST THE TRUMP REGIME. NEVER GIVE UP!

Health care is a necessity of life, as are a safe, reliable food supply and a constant source of uncontaminated drinking water. These are necessities for the survival of WE, THE PEOPLE, all of us, those who keep our Nation moving. This might be a surprise to many readers, but healthcare is in short supply because SO MANY AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD THE MONTHLY INSURANCE PREMIUMS!

Food safety may be imperiled due to relaxed regulations that reduce the frequency and depth of inspections, allow questionable food additives, and loosen safe storage requirements. Drinking water has been polluted by fracking chemicals. The Nation's largest source of drinking water, the Oglala Aquifer, is at its lowest level ever, and there is no plan to reduce dependence on it. Instead, more water-sucking data centers are opening.

Now go ahead and follow that orange-faced clown. And maybe, if you're lucky, you'll have a tent to pitch in some alleyway, and you're hoping there's food at the food bank in the morning.

Don't. We, the Baby Boomers of the sixties, share some of the blame for this. We produced lots of greedy politicians, bankers, corporate leaders, and private equity raiders. However, we fought against communism and Nazizm, the Vietnam War, and greed as well as we could. Canadians sent out the Peacekeepers, and if you don't know what communism and Nazizm stand for, ya better get to a library or search it here on - Google Search AI -

BREAKING NEWS RECAP:

Iran war heats up while US weapon stocks remain depleted, risking military’s ability to fight future wars

Key US weapons stockpiles remain significantly depleted and will come under even more intense pressure if strikes against Iran continue at the current rate, as President Donald Trump reiterated Friday that the ceasefire in the conflict is “over.” The situation with armaments could impact the American military’s ability to fight a potential future war with China or even North Korea, experts told CNN.

“If the war continues at the rate it’s been going for the last [five] days … it would reduce stockpiles enough that there would be a new, higher level of risk … with the Indo-Pacific,” said Mark Cancian, a retired Marine Corps colonel and defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.

The early phase of the Iran conflict, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, saw the US military expend thousands of key missiles used for long-range...

O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution said he doesn’t believe the US military’s ability to deter Chinese or North Korean aggression “has suffered yet.”

Big Medicine threatens your wallet and your health. But there is a solution.

The Break Up Big Medicine Act has bipartisan support, and builds on new laws restricting pharmacy benefit managers.

VIDEO | Included:

When Congress passed a spending package earlier this year, few industries were more disappointed than pharmacy benefit managers. PBMs are middlemen who liaise between insurers, drug manufacturers and pharmacies to determine which drugs are covered at what price. Their job, as the New York Times reported in 2024, “is to reduce drug costs. Instead, they frequently do the opposite. They steer patients toward pricier drugs, charge steep markups on what would otherwise be inexpensive medicines and extract billions of dollars in hidden fees.”

The spending bill’s provisions limited some common PBM practices, and the industry declared itself sufficiently regulated. But policymakers are rightly refusing to move on. They are now proposing even more aggressive legislation that would extend not just to PBMs but to other “Big Medicine” middlemen — such as insurance conglomerates and wholesale drug distributors — that drive healthcare costs up and independent providers out of business...

• Big Pharma abuses patents to keep drug costs high and block competition from more affordable generics. But that doesn’t let Big Medicine off the hook:
• 10 drugs just became more affordable for Medicare recipients, but America needs far more relief:
• This bill would break up all six of the Big Medicine companies in an effort to lower healthcare costs and promote competition.:

I got involved in some research this morning and spent more time than I thought I would need, and still without any result on what I was looking for to start with. I'll get back to that mess later. A good morning to all,

I pray the Great Spirit to watch over you on this day of July 11, 2026. And I pray for the well-being of all my followers reading this entry.

What's it like to be a NAZI or to live in a Nazi-occupied homeland? Today is the sixth month of living under a Nazi regime. I believe that by now most Americans are awakening to the fact that they didn't vote for a human being with humane feelings and values; you voted for a Nazi wannabe dick-tater 👃-🥔 . A BEAST 🧌 without feelings and values, just raving mad and caring for nothing except himself. And now, WHO WILL BE THE FIGURATIVE SLAYER OF THE BEAST?

. Rather than a literal monster being slain, the Beast and his armies are defeated by Jesus Christ at the Second Coming and cast into a lake of fire (Revelation 19:18–20)-

There is not much to report in the American news except for the usual Ravings of the Orange Menace's lunacy... and don't forget, with the BIG RED BUTTON in his pocket. Thank you, Great Spirit. We still have a beautiful early-morning midsummer sunrise. We appreciate every second because the next second may be the last in a flash.

I don't have much more to say today about south of the border; it is just too sad to think about at the moment. Let us all pause for a moment to pray and/or meditate....

Twice-rejected American cruise puts spotlight on rollback of LGBTQ rights, passengers say

Greg Morley has spent decades sailing around the world on LGBTQ+ cruises with his husband, visiting far-flung destinations across the Americas, Asia and Europe – all from the safety of a ship where, he says, “everyone belongs.”

So, when the 59-year-old Philadelphian, who now lives in Paris, embarked on his latest “Athens to Venice” voyage, overseen by LGBTQ travel company Atlantis Events, he said he couldn’t wait to see the “amazing and iconic” sights on offer.

But those plans were derailed on Thursday when Egyptian authorities blocked the ship, the Scarlet Lady, from entering its waters at the last minute, according to Atlantis Events, days after the vessel was refused entry to Turkey. “We had full approval and they denied us clearance at the 11th hour,” Rich Campbell, the president and CEO of Atlantis Events, told CNN...

Trump’s obsession with repressing voters has gotten the best of him

Why Trump refuses to slap his name on the one thing he should.

President Donald Trump loves to slap his name on things: hotels, merchandise, stimulus checks and even a cultural institution Congress named for a former president. But Trump pointedly refused to affix his name to a major housing bill that both houses of Congress recently passed with huge veto-proof margins. The bill became law Saturday without his signature.

The president declined to sign it because he is still seething over another piece of legislation: his repressive anti-voting bill he calls the Save America Act. Senate Republicans (fortunately) failed to pass that bill, and Trump’s resulting political tantrum is so baffling and self-destructive it beggars belief.

The passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act marks an extraordinarily rare event in today’s Washington: Congress forming a huge bipartisan majority to achieve something genuinely good. The bill, which addresses the national housing shortage, was the product of a partnership between progressive firebrand Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., who is a staunch Trump ally. The White House initially backed the bill...

• Trump’s description of the housing bill as a “yawn” before refusing to sign it reveals how completely he’s lost the plot:

Trump Administration Fires Members of Independent Election Group

The firings and a resignation render the Election Assistance Commission useless. The moves come as President Trump seeks to impose control over how ballots will be counted in the midterms.

The Trump administration has forced out the three remaining members of an independent, bipartisan commission that supports states in administering their elections, the White House confirmed on Thursday. The move comes as President Trump seeks to cast doubt on the outcome of the upcoming midterms and impose control over how ballots are counted.

Mr. Trump terminated, effective immediately, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, two members selected by congressional Democrats to serve on the Election Assistance Commission, and accepted the resignation of a Republican member, Christy McCormick. The board has no other remaining members, as its fourth commissioner resigned this spring...

Tensions are heating up over a remote Arctic territory — and it’s not Greenland

For more than two decades, a pair of imposing granite lions flanked the entrance to a rust-red building deep inside the Arctic Circle. Not anymore. Last month they disappeared, and their absence tells a story about the increasingly tense geopolitics at the top of the world.

The vanished lions once guarded a research station operated by China in the Ny-Ålesund settlement on Svalbard, an archipelago nestled between mainland Norway and the North Pole. In May, they were removed by the Norwegian state-owned company that operates the settlement; in June it took down a sign on the building that had read “Yellow River Station.”

Norway’s move is being seen by some experts as part of attempts to reinforce its sovereignty over this slice of the Arctic in the face of seismic geopolitical and climate change shifts.

Trump’s humiliation on the world stage triggers acts of desperation at home

While the world responds to him with a collective eye roll, Americans must keep in mind what this president does when he feels embarrassed and desperate.

It’s already been a rough week for President Donald Trump, who has been facing humiliation after humiliation.

StubHub's 'marketplace for fans' is run by a mass scalper, SEC filings reveal

CEO Eric Baker runs a side company that resells millions in tickets on StubHub

When Mark Gallagher of Vancouver logged on to StubHub in February to buy tickets for the World Cup, he assumed he was buying from another fan who couldn’t make the match. "It's portrayed as a reliable, credible source of buying resale tickets off individuals who want to sell their tickets," he told CBC News.

But a CBC investigation has found that while StubHub claims it is a "marketplace for fans to buy and sell tickets," the online ticket company is run by a mass scalper and helps bankroll other large-scale resellers who use the platform...
