Hi there 👋 well, for now it's sunny and mild out 🌞 For the first time this year, I was able to sit out in my Green Space 🍃 in my favorite patio chair 🪑 and enjoy the rising sun. Then I relaxed, listening to the spring birds 🦜 in the trees 🌳 across the way. Now this is what I call spring 🌸🌺 I pray that the town 🕍🏪 never decides to remove that parkland behind our apartment building 🏢 My balcony Green Space and the greenspace I view from it are my Tree House 🏡 I can sit here in that chair and allow my imagination to drift, taking me anywhere in the world 🌏 without the benefit of an aircraft 🛩️ " Get your ticket here! Travel Dream Air, 😁 Free of Charge!"😆

What would this world be like without humor, imagination, magic, comedians, and comic books? - 😂

And what's the difference between magic, science, and imagination? How far up are we on the evolutionary scale, from the onset of the Big Bang, as compared to now and the end of this cycle of this universe, on a universal scale? How far is infinity? And how many potentialities are there in just one bag of infinity? If you could bag a chunk of the fabric of space-time, you might get enough to sew a patch in your jeans. "I hope you get the genes right this time, boss!" 📣👂😶‍🌫️ There are a few smiles inside of today's opening. Have fun at whatever you do today, and thank you for reading the Tree House News.

The Ford government is facing intense scrutiny over Ontario health care, navigating allegations of funding mismanagement, private clinic expansion, and a major data breach involving home care patients. The province is currently suing a company for $4.8M over alleged fraud in a skills program, while opposition parties and critics argue that privatization efforts (Bill 60) and alleged underfunding are harming the public system.

• Key Aspects of the Current Situation:

• Data Breach Controversy:

• Privatization (Bill 60):

[ The Your Health Act (Bill 60) passed by the Ford government has expanded the role of private, for-profit clinics in providing OHIP-covered services.

AI Overview

Piracy and the Mafia are both organized criminal enterprises, but they differ primarily in their operating environment, structure, and methods: piracy focuses on transient, violent theft at sea (or on digital networks) as "stateless" outlaws, while the Mafia is a structured, land-based organization that embeds itself into legitimate economies through protection rackets and extortion.

Canada, NATO allies ‘met or went beyond 2% target’ for defence spending

For the first time since the end of the Cold War, Canada is spending roughly two per cent of its GDP on national defence — a key NATO alliance commitment Ottawa previously failed to meet.

NATO accounting estimates released Thursday suggest Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government met the key spending benchmark for 2025 by shelling out just over $63 billion. Canada has come under pressure in recent years from its allies — and especially from the U.S. — to dramatically ramp up its military spending.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said every alliance member has met the spending target for the first time — all because of U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about free riders in the alliance. “I don’t believe that without the present American administration the whole of NATO would have been meeting the two per cent at the end of 2025,” Rutte told reporters at a press conference in Brussels Thursday...

Carney’s first federal budget laid out nearly $82 billion in defence spending over the coming years, and added an extra $9 billion to the fiscal tables last summer to achieve the two per cent goal.

Israel says it killed key Iranian commander involved in Strait of Hormuz blockade

Tehran is also building up defenses on Kharg Island, vital to Iran's economy. And oil prices have risen again on investors' doubts about a quick end to the war.

Here's The Latest:

• Iran Navy chief dead, Israel says: The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, a key figure behind the near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has been killed, according to Israel’s defense minister.

• Kharg Island: An Iranian army commander warned that any ground warfare would be “dangerous and costly for the enemy,” as sources say Iran has been preparing for a possible US operation to take control of Kharg Island, a major economic lifeline for Tehran.

• “Get serious soon”: US President Donald Trump voiced frustration today with Iran, warning that time is running out for a deal. Administration officials have told CNN the US is working to arrange a meeting in Pakistan this weekend.

• Strikes in the region: Falling debris from an intercepted ballistic missile killed two people in Abu Dhabi as several Gulf states fended off attacks today. Meanwhile, Israel and Iran continued to trade strikes...

Trump officials upped their groveling game as the president’s popularity tanks

As Trump desperately searches for an off-ramp to his failing war of choice with Iran, his administration’s loyalists have leaped into action.

President Donald Trump has never been one to project anything other than total self-confidence in his performance, but in recent weeks it’s been plain to see that he is desperately flailing at his job, that he’s feeling the heat from dwindling options and disastrous poll numbers — and that no one is coming to his rescue. Enter the craven careerists of his administration, who in their dear leader’s time of need have elevated their public displays of adulation into new echelons of sycophancy, with little consideration for their own dignity.

As the president fumbles around looking for a “victory” off-ramp to his illegal and failing war of choice with Iran, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents dither beside airport security lines that stretch for hours while the Department of Homeland Security remains partially shut down, as the national average for a gallon of gas approaches $4, and as a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump’s approval rating on handling the economy has fallen to a sub-Biden low of 29% — the lickspittles of the Trump administration have added an extra layer of obsequiousness to their hosannas for the president...

• Ever since Trump started a war with Iran, putting in motion events now far beyond his control, his haplessness has left him looking a little needy.

Since I didn't get much attention with yesterday's Code Red 🔴

Today I would like to share my thoughts on a brighter topic than yesterday.

The BIG RED BUTTON in the briefcase? 🔴💼

Good morning, the forecast for the Niagara Peninsula is warmer today, 50° F, and partly sunny 🌤️ I have a dentist's appointment at 2:00 PM, which will not get in the way of anything, except that I would much rather spend more time in my Green Space. The rest of the week is crap weather, rain, and cool until the weekend. The temperatures are going to hover around the freezing mark Thursday and Friday, then turn milder again. You know how that goes. You get a promise of nice spring weather only to get that one last puke of snow.

I feel a little frazzled this morning. Still, I hope I get through it without getting ill again, as I did yesterday morning. I've been feeling OK for the last couple of months. Why is this shit coming back? I guess misery likes me; it just doesn't want to leave me be. What's scary is, every time I get Ill, when I recover, I feel weaker. It takes longer to regain my strength. Faculty-wise, it hasn't bothered me in the least, except for slowing me down or bogging down my stream of thoughts. Sometimes, composition feels like swimming through molasses when I am ill.

When I am not ill, just pick any topic and try me. Absent-mindedness, yes, forget the little stuff, yes, like the nickel and dime stuff, like, "don't forget to get some bread!" I forgot the bread, or like losing or misplacing car keys, wallets, credit cards, cell phones, purses, pills, and oh, a lot of "where did I put that?"

Mental Accuity:

But there wasn't anything wrong with my mental processes; if anything, I am above average for perception. Feeling and seeing it in my mind like I was there, sometimes in a flashback. For example, I remember when I was very young, I took a Timex wristwatch apart, put it back together, and watched the mainspring expand and retract; it still worked. I also liked playing around in the tool room, inventing stuff that would help my mom with the kitchen chores, or fix the car with makeshift parts; stuff like that, I didn't forget. I still like tinkering, inventing little items for use around the house. I would have loved working in a research lab. I worked in an electronics R&D lab for a while, and I loved it, but then the company folded. Sorry about this, I hadn't meant to go on for this long with my comments from the Newsroom.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

The God Particle:

- Google Search -

Search: The God Particle

The "God particle" is the popular nickname for the Higgs boson, an elementary particle discovered in 2012 that explains how other particles gain mass. It is vital to the Standard Model of physics because, without the underlying Higgs field giving mass, matter as we know it would not exist.

This video explains the origin of the nickname "God Particle":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CufRfgjDusg

• Discovery: The particle was confirmed on July 4, 2012, by ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

• What it does: It acts as a wave or excitation in the Higgs field, which permeates all of space and imparts mass to fundamental particles like quarks and electrons.

Read More: - Google Search -

My Thoughts:

The racing mind can glimpse the infinite possibilities of the universe, so much information, and for a split second, you see it with clarity, and you yell, "EUREKA!" I found it, and a second later, the image begins to fade, growing foggier and harder to put together in the temporal three-dimensional world.

Physicists labeled it the "God particle," which is the popular nickname for the Higgs boson, an elementary particle that emanates all of space, allowing mass to fundamental particles such as quarks and electrons, as best I can remember.

Is the universe only one Big Bang out of many other Big Bangs? Is it like raindrops in a pond, with gravitational waves forever expanding outward, overlapping one another across the Fabric of Time and Space? How big is infinity? Is infinity empty or full?

Try to describe that with an equation. See, my body may be burned out today, but the light bulb in the attic is still shining brightly, thank you 🙇‍♀️

Have a pleasant day, stay safe, and be blessed. AMEN!

US expected to deploy paratroopers to the Middle East, as Iran taunts White House

Here's The Latest:

• US troop deployment: Around 1,000 US soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are expected to deploy in coming days to the Middle East, sources told CNN.

• Talks to end war: Iran has taunted the White House by suggesting it may be negotiating with itself after US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about an end to the war. It is still unclear whether Tehran has agreed to any of the terms in a 15-point proposal from the US that sources said was shared with Iran via Pakistan.

• Strikes persist: A residential area in Tehran was hit by an airstrike, according to the Iranian Red Crescent said. Drones struck a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, the country’s civil aviation authority said.

• Strait of Hormuz: Multiple vessels have passed through the strait since yesterday morning, tracking data appears to show, as Iran says it will charge countries a fee for safe passage through the critical waterway...

Democrat Emily Gregory flips deep-red Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago

Democrat Emily Gregory has won a special state House election in a Palm Beach district that includes President Donald Trump’s Florida home of Mar-a-Lago, adding another special election win to a recent string of victories around the country for Democrats.

Tuesday’s election was a prime opportunity for Democrats in the ruby-red Sunshine State to notch a win in a state where the party is often short of them, in a district with political resonance.

Gregory, a business owner and military spouse running for office for the first time, defeats Republican Jon Maples, a former council-member of nearby Lake Shores who first received Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement” in January.

This Texas city has just a few months’ worth of water left — and insatiable industry demand

The rapidly receding shoreline of Lake Corpus Christi in Texas has revealed swaths of newly exposed lakebed, left boat docks jutting out into nothingness and uncovered previously submerged remnants of history, from bridges to boathouses.

On a recent visit, local resident Isabel Araiza found parts of the lake so transformed, she could scarcely believe there was ever water there. “It’s just a lawn,” said the college professor and co-founder of For the Greater Good, a local grassroots group focused on water issues.

Lake Corpus Christi is a key water source for the city of Corpus Christi, a petrochemical and oil refining hub nestled on the Gulf coastline, but it has shrunk to historic lows as the region grapples with a five-year drought. It now stands at just over 9% of its capacity. A similar story is unfolding at other lakes the city depends on: Nearby Choke Canyon Reservoir is less than 8% full, and farther northeast, Lake Texana is roughly 50% full...

Province planning to remove HST on new homes for 1 year

Eligible buyers could receive a maximum rebate of $130K for new homes valued up to $1 million for one year

The province is planning to temporarily remove Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) for buyers of new homes. Premier Doug Ford announced the plan Wednesday at a news conference in Mississauga, saying the full 13 per cent tax will be removed for new homes valued up to $1 million from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.

"For too many families, the dream of home ownership is being pulled out of reach by high costs and economic uncertainty," said Ford. Taxes, development fees and other costs add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cost of a new home, said Ford...

Canada is pitching its energy ambitions in Texas — can the oil and gas industry be convinced?

Oil and gas execs encouraged by policy changes, still want to see action to support energy sector expansion

In Texas this week for a global energy conference, the federal natural resources minister is proclaiming "Canada is back" and ready to bolster its energy sector and grow exports. The message by Tim Hodgson comes at a time when the world is confronting an energy crisis caused by the U.S.-Israel war against Iran, which is raising fears of a spike in inflation and a possible global recession.

Though industry executives welcomed Hodgson’s enthusiasm at the CERAWeek conference in Houston and the overall direction of the government under Prime Minister Mark Carney, they still say they want to see considerable action before they'll be convinced the federal government is serious — both about becoming an energy superpower and changing the country’s reputation as being reluctant to expand energy supply and exports, especially oil and natural gas...

Hi folks, I will be delivering only a short report for today. I had some difficulties with nausea from my GERD acting up, so I just lay back in the recliner for a couple of hours' rest. I feel better than I did, although I still feel like Sylvester the cat in the cartoons after being dragged backward tail-first through a knothole in a board fence.

Well, anyway, I'm still here, in one piece, and the opportunity to share my opinions, thoughts, and comments on the daily happenings in this crazy world at the moment. The topics are all well-researched using Google Search, SNOPES, and other fact-checkers. If I am misled or make an error in any of my topics, I will admit my error and apologize promptly.

Trump announces U.S. talks with Iran, 5-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure

Iran’s foreign ministry has reportedly denied that talks are underway and suggested Trump’s post was an effort to reduce energy prices.

VIDEO | Included:

As the Iran war enters its fourth week, President Donald Trump on Monday announced that the United States has engaged in diplomatic talks with Iran and is taking a five-day pause on strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. “I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote in an all-caps message posted to Truth Social.

He continued: “Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meeting and discussions.” In a subsequent Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said the U.S. was getting “very close to meeting our objectives” and suggested American involvement in the Iran war could be “winding down.”

• Follow MS NOW’s live blog for the latest updates on the Iran war:

Over the weekend, Trump threatened to “obliterate their various power plants” in Iran if the country did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Legal experts told MS NOW that such attacks could constitute war crimes.

ICE officers deployed to some airports as TSA callouts worsen

Where Things Stand:

• ICE deploys to airports: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are heading to 13 airports today to help with crowd management as the Transportation Security Administration faces growing callouts from officers during the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown.

• Growing travel woes: Travelers have been dealing with worsening airport wait times as TSA workers have gone without pay since funding for DHS lapsed in mid-February. Track wait times at major airports here.

• No end to shutdown in sight: There are few signs lawmakers will reach an agreement to fund DHS, which includes TSA, ahead of a scheduled holiday break. President Donald Trump injected a new demand Sunday, saying he doesn’t want to make a deal unless Democrats support an elections overhaul bill.
