Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good Morning, Folks.

Allow me to introduce myself to the newcomers. My name is Cindy, and my alias on the web is The Fairy Lady. I'm a blogger, news aggregator, writer, and researcher in science and technology, nature and its elements, and the forces of nature. I enjoy fantasy, written nonsense, and reasoned critique and exposure of the achievements of our elected officials and their theft from We, the People.

The behavioural patterns of all living things, in particular the evolution or devolution of human nature, in an ever-changing environment, its unpredictability, and its potential for greatness, are an INTEGRAL PART of the order of the known universe. You could call me an "armchair scientist" and researcher, because I am fascinated by what I can see. I love the stuff, and I seek to know how, why, where, and the changes to come. That keeps the light bulb in the attic shining brightly.

There certainly will not be anyone happier than I to see the end of the Trump 💩 show regime. I expect life to return to normal, allowing us to be more in control of the problems in our society and the world, with factual, sane, and realistic solutions. We will go beyond plodding around in the mud with the other pigs 🐷🐷🐷 💩🫟 into the wonderful world of discovery.

_*Now all we have is a bunch of DUNCE CADETS! running things. What do you get when you have a DUNCE doing the job? You get Dunce Results.

It will be nice to go back to the topics of science, spirituality, fantasy, life, living, and reality, which used to be the topics for my Good Morning From The Tree House - Cindy's Open House. For now, I've added the TREE HOUSE NEWS.

Question: Psychopathic demented dunce

🔹AI Overview

Psychopathy: A psychopathic demented dunce?

Psychopaths often have high levels of cognitive functioning and intelligence, which they use to manipulate others, despite their lack of emotional empathy.

Demented individuals suffer from a decline in cognitive functioning and do not necessarily possess the manipulative, calculating personality traits of a psychopath

Dunce: (Cognitive/Intellectual Functioning) Definition: A term historically used to describe someone deemed slow to learn or stupid.

Distinction: This is not a clinical term. In a medical context, it might be related to developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, or cognitive decline, but it does not describe a personality type, such as a psychopath...

'We did everything they wanted': The American families caught in Italy's citizenship crackdown

When Kellen Matwick, his wife Jacqueline and their two children boarded a one-way flight to Italy in August 2024, they toasted their new life. Matwick, whose great-grandparents emigrated from central Italy to Pennsylvania, is part of the vast Italian diaspora.

He's also one of the millions who saw his hopes dashed when the Italian government changed its laws around citizenship by descent a year ago, on March 28, 2025 — a move that was reinforced this month when Italy's constitutional court gave notice that it would reject the first legal argument against the law...

What to know about the 4 people launching to make history around the moon

The first woman. The first person of color. The first Canadian.

The four people who will soon step aboard a spacecraft for the first human moon mission in more than half a century represent a tapestry of historic milestones. The crew of the NASA-led Artemis II mission is set to expand the roster of deep-space explorers beyond the narrow scope of the Apollo-era astronauts — a group exclusively composed of White American men, almost all with military backgrounds.

Yet while the astronauts will usher in an era of diversity for deep-space exploration, their credentials echo those of their Apollo counterparts.

The crew includes NASA’s Reid Wiseman, a Navy test pilot and single father who will serve as commander of the mission; Victor Glover, a naval test pilot who will become the first Black person to travel to deep space; Christina Koch, an engineer and record-holding astronaut who will become the first woman to venture to the moon; and the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen, a fighter pilot who will be the first non-NASA astronaut to join a lunar mission...

The Epstein class thinks it runs America. Today, No Kings protesters send their response.

Americans are horrified by the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein files and the lack of accountability for the elites who crossed lines.

Thousands of Americans plan to gather on Saturday for No Kings protests across the country. They have a simple message: People are tired of a government that protects the powerful and abandons ordinary Americans.

They are tired of fighting costly and illegal overseas wars while we face an affordability crisis at home. They are horrified by the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein files and the lack of accountability for the rich and powerful who crossed lines. And they are sick of Immigration and Customs Enforcement terrorizing our communities.

What happens after communism? Cubans face huge challenges, big decisions

Impoverished Cubans could risk becoming an underclass in their own country

Cubans in the diaspora are increasingly hopeful that 67 years of communist one-party rule on the island may be nearing its end, but there is also trepidation about how that change might occur. Perhaps the only thing that all Cubans can agree on is that the current situation cannot continue indefinitely. But few can predict whether change will come from within, in the form of a popular uprising, or from outside, in the form of U.S.-imposed change.

And would such a change really mean the end of Communist Party control, or would it be just a negotiated reshuffling of the deck chairs, as occurred in Venezuela? ...

U.S. lawmakers demand answers after Canadian man says border officers made him give DNA sample

Ontario man, 68, says he was threatened with prosecution if he didn’t comply

American lawmakers are demanding answers from the Trump administration after a Canadian man says U.S. customs officers held him for three hours at the border and forced him to provide a DNA sample before sending him home. U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, a Democrat who represents an area of Michigan just outside Detroit, says she’s “outraged” by the man’s experience.

Earlier this week, she penned a letter alongside Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin — the top Democrat on the House judiciary committee — to the Homeland Security, State, and Justice departments seeking information about the “extraordinary incident.” “This kind of hostile and arbitrary treatment at the border could further damage one of our most important bilateral relationships...

My Brief Summary:

SURE OUR OLD SYSTEM WAS FLAWED BUT FIXABLE. NOW WE HAVE INSANITY AT THE CONTROLS.

ORANGE ALERT 🟠 G-D FORBID, 🍁 BEWARE AS WELL.

On The Positive Side:

Our government only needs a few more rat traps, amendments barring corporate thieves and organised crime, ya know? Those hidden costs and interest rates, we need these thieves weaned from the federal tittie. Like those thieves on the phone, and the sales reps, ya know, the tiny, heck, more like invisible print. The soliciting phone calls and those internet ads, "yada yadaaa!" Eliminating this blood-sucking cult would be the big fix, I'm just guessing, maybe nearly 50% or half - 1/2 - less out of the government coffers per annum. All told, that would be enough to cover Canada's 5% army build-up over the next ten years and to look after all the provinces' health care systems. Just that would also create many more new jobs.

AI can also mean new jobs, from technicians at the bottom up to programmers and those who operate robots on the production line, right down to the floor sweep. Well, even those data centers will need people to clean and maintain them.

Senate unanimously moves to fund most of DHS, except ICE and border patrol, in rare overnight session

The Senate unanimously moved to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and part of Customs and Border Protection, in a rare overnight mission. The agreement would fund other DHS components, such as the Transportation Security Administration and US Coast Guard, but the House will still need to act before funded agencies within the department can reopen. The move is meant to alleviate long lines at airports, while lawmakers continue to debate possible reforms to immigration enforcement by DHS.

The move came just hours after President Donald Trump had directed his newly installed Department of Homeland Security chief to swiftly pay TSA agents in a bid to reduce lines at airports as talks appeared to have fallen apart. While much of Washington slept and officials mulled how to implement Trump’s order, senators focused on moving the funding they were able to agree on by unanimous consent. On his way to the floor in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters, “We’re gonna execute on as much as DHS as we can tonight, and then we’ll fund the rest of it later.”

No Kings is a demonstration against everything — and a protest against nothing

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — of Americans will pour into city streets. But will they accomplish anything?

• The revolution will be well attended. And it may accomplish absolutely nothing.

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — of Americans will pour into city streets for the third installment of the No Kings protests, a nationwide day of action organized by the activist coalition Indivisible. Organizers are predicting that it could be the single largest day of domestic political protest in American history. Bruce Springsteen will perform in St. Paul, Minn. The American Civil Liberties Union has been hosting training sessions on how to reduce risk to yourself while protesting peacefully. Signs are being painted. Chants are being rehearsed.

• And when it’s all over, Donald Trump will still be president.

• Saturday’s marches risk becoming what so many well-attended American protests have become — a communal emotional release that feels transformative in the moment and registers as noise in Washington.

Canada loaning millions to proposed Nunavik rare earth mining project linked to Trump White House

Trump official disclosed millions of dollars of shares in Canadian mining company

Amid Prime Minister Mark Carney’s calls that the Canada-U.S. relationship is ruptured, Ottawa has committed $175 million to a mining project in northern Quebec whose major U.S. investor is closely linked to the Trump administration.

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson says the Carney government’s support for the rare earth mine is necessary to protect Canadian jobs and the economy. "We're doing things that are exceptional because we are in exceptional times," Hodgson told the fifth estate in an interview.

"I'll go back to what the prime minister said: We are in a hinge moment. We are in a rupture. We need to respond to that." The proposed mine is near Lac Brisson in Nunavik, approximately 235 kilometres northeast of Schefferville, Que., on the Labrador border.

🔹AI Overview

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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...
