Great Spirit bless 🙏

Let us pause for a moment for prayer and meditation.

First, I would like to say Good Morning to all my readers, and I thank you; I also thank all visitors for visiting the Tree House News.

When I think someone has done something bad, I think about karma, so instead of praying something bad back on them, I sit for a moment and hope and keep my fingers crossed I don't get the 💩 🌪️ storm backlash on me for even just thinking it. I suppose I could always carry a tin umbrella ☂️ just in case, but I'd sooner not try...

Na! Instead I pray 🙏 to the Great Spirit, Creator of the Universe,

꩜𖦹༄ ○˚. Only, to expedite their karma, please and thank you 🙇‍♀️

Well, even the prayer has a possibility for discussion for today: Pick a sacrificial lamb 🐑 Who is the next suspect we should pick to hang over the precipice 🧗‍♀️ by the thumbs 🫲🫱 for today? The usual suspect has been picked on so much that it's a wonder there ain't just the bones ☠️ left on that fat orange morcel of an overinflated slime bag Jabba the Hutt worm brain 😱🫟 🛍️I hope! Maybe we need to hang Stephen Miller, the Jabba Whisperer. out to dry, or maybe another member of the Liars Club that is Jabba's Cabinet. I never pray for bad stuff on people. I pray only to expedite whatever The Great Spirit has already judged; all is already written in the Book of Life 📓🌱 and the Creator, the thought or consciousness of all, has already placed judgment upon them from conception. It is up to them to change this judgment

I look at the ancient scriptures as books written to reveal and give warning of past, present, and future events; some of these tests we have passed, but there are many written events yet to go before we reach the end of this finite, imperfect system, then return to the beginning. Many of us WILL MAKE IT THROUGH in one piece, but we could be better, depending on our choice.

If we could only learn to think outside the box, 📦 forget "impossible" or "can't be done." Nothing is impossible in the infinite potentialities, the Quanta. The best we can hope to do is to unify as one people, to share ideas, thoughts, and feelings, and negotiate, making consensus choices among a true solidarity of United Nations.

Instead of this, the strongest testosterone 🧪 fueled brute 🧌 winning seems to be the popular attitude among males. Too busy showing off their muscles to see the garbage truck with another testosterone-fueled brute at the wheel, grinning like the butcher's dog about to get a morsel 🥩, licking his chops 🐶 about to run over his nemesis.

At this time, I would also like to take a moment for prayers and meditation for the victims of the forest fires running rampant through the northern regions of Canada. They have a shortage of firefighting equipment, most likely because of too many fires at one time. All the fires burning in Europe have consumed all the "spare" firefighting equipment and firefighters, and we have this 🟠 🐸Toad across the border threatening us with 50% tariffs for our wildfire smoke

W.T.F. Other nations NORMALLY would pitch in if they could, and what does this GREEDY DEMENTED COCKROACH 🪳 DO? DISGUSTING PIECE OF 💩

And now we have this THIEVING PIRATE FORD 🐷🏴‍☠️ for our provincial leader.

This is a real fine fix ya gots us in Ollie! 🥺🤏👂👌😝

Pentagon says nearly 100 US troops injured in last two weeks, as Hegseth to face senators

Jordan says its air defense systems intercepted and shot down three Iranian missiles today.

Here's the latest

• US injuries: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will appear before lawmakers in Congress today for the first time since the escalation of the US-Iran conflict. Nearly 100 US service members have suffered some level of injury since July 7, according to the Pentagon, which has been slow to disclose non-fatal attacks.

• Widening conflict: Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan say they intercepted aerial attacks today, after the US completed another round of strikes on Iranian targets. Meanwhile, Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have warned Saudi vessels to refrain from using the Red Sea, a move that US President Donald Trump downplayed but that caused oil prices to rise.

• On Lebanon: Trump said he and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who is at the White House today, will discuss “concrete plans” for the US to help Lebanon oust Iran-backed Hezbollah. Israel began partially withdrawing forces from southern Lebanon under a US-brokered ceasefire agreement ultimately intended to end fighting in the area.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's spoken to U.S. President Donald Trump after Monday's tariffs announcement and that the two leaders have agreed to intensify trade discussions in the wake of the latest tariff threat from our southern neighbours.

The prime minister said that intensification will happen "right away" but he did not provide insight into the specifics of how his government will respond to the latest tariff threat.

"We will look at all options in terms of how we would respond if [the new tariffs] do come into effect. That's part of what we will be discussing with premiers," he said. Trump's new 50% tariffs to hit even CUSMA-compliant goods...

🔹AI Overview

Canada can't set its own low fuel prices because oil is a globally traded commodity. Prices are dictated by worldwide supply and demand rather than domestic production costs. Additionally, under the *Canadian Constitution, direct retail price regulation falls to the provinces* rather than the federal government.

Question: Canadian Constitution, direct retail price regulation falls to the provinces

🔹AI Overview

Under the Canadian Constitution, direct retail price regulation falls under provincial jurisdiction. The federal government has no authority to regulate retail prices directly, except during national emergencies

Constitutional Division of Powers

*• Provincial Authority:* Under Sections 92(13) and 92(16) of the Constitution Act, 1867, provinces hold exclusive power over "Property and Civil Rights in the Province" and "Matters of a merely local or private Nature". This grants provinces the authority to govern local trade, consumer protection, and retail practices.

The GOP’s last-minute bill makes their priorities horribly clear

Republican lawmakers never seem to have a problem finding money for war, only for everything else.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is hoping the House can pass a bill unlocking a third Republican-only spending package before the week is out. The $95 billion budget framework made it out of the committee last week but GOP lawmakers in both the House and Senate have grumbled — especially fiscal hawks. They are concerned that there are no spending cuts to balance out a bill that sets aside $73 billion in new military spending, most of it earmarked to help pay for the war against Iran.

* When did you ever pay for a war? A lot of this is military expenses aimed at that war… The point is that play’s been called. It’s time to put up or shut up.”:*

* Pass or fail, this reconciliation bill is what the GOP has decided is its priority before the party asks voters to keep them in power in November:*

Trump tells Carney to take action on wildfire smoke during World Cup chat

Trump has threatened to impose financial penalties on Canada over wildfire smoke drifting south

U.S. President Donald Trump personally told Prime Minister Mark Carney to stop poisoning American air and take action to put out wildfires burning across the country. Trump said he raised the issue of wildfire management with Carney when the two leaders appeared together to watch the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday.

"I told him, I mean, 'You got to stop these fires from coming in and, you know, poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned,'" Trump said at Joint Base Andrews after the game.

These are results for is Ontario doing anything at all about the privatization theft from the public funding for the Health Care system july 20, 2026

🔹AI Overview

The Ontario government is not acting to stop health care privatization; rather, it is actively expanding it. Premier Doug Ford's administration is investing hundreds of millions in private, for-profit surgical and diagnostic clinics, redirecting public funds and patients away from the public system.

Ontario Health Coalition

The provincial government defends these measures as necessary to reduce massive surgical backlogs and wait times by utilizing both public and private health infrastructure. However, this approach faces severe backlash and organized resistance:

I pray 🙏 that all is well with you all on this sunny ☀️ morning with moderate temperatures and less wildfire smoke 🌲🔥ᝰ in the air, on this 19th day of July of 2026. This is the real story behind the scenes. It all went down like this. In 18 and 65, near the end of the Civil War, ▄︻ 💥🔘 my hossy 🐎 got shot ▄︻💥• in the butt (‿ˠ‿) and every time after that when I ride my hossy on a windy day, her butt whistles in the wind.

Even with Paula conversing with her, it's distracting and harder for me to concentrate on finding the right strings to connect the dots at this time, which is important to me, as I share my thoughts, feelings, and/or opinion with you, like them to be as clear as I can through the process of the topic for the day.

Most seem to overlook one thing: all the other tiny details of the actual unforeseen land-level hazards and perils and around abouts they will encounter getting to dot 2

In science, the researchers seem to overlook one thing: Within this fabric of chaotic space, the discoveries, both the good and bad, that we will have to go through to get to dot 2 on the map are unknown at this time, but my bet is in the rebound stage, going back to the beginning. The universe is now suspected of doing exactly that: a rebirth or a new Big Bang.
