Good morning, everyone! If you're on Canada Pension, Happy Canada Pension Day. It's a rather tiny blanket that never quite covers your feet. So you get a towel, your work pension to cover your feet, and the darn blanket keeps shrinking. Still, we should be thankful for what we have, but that doesn't mean to stop striving for better.

At least we're lucky to have pensions and health insurance. Just south of the border, many have nothing to aid them. They're lucky if they have a tent to live in, thanks to the Orange Kink of Wankers, the messiah of the Goofball Brigade of Imbecile MAGAte Wankers.

Thank you, G-d, for hearing this prayer, AMEN!🙏

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

World Without Order

America is no longer a republic in which its Constitution is the law of the land. What's running it? A cult of personality that is NAZIISM, plainly open for all of us to see at work. THAT'S WHAT IT IS, exactly like what I heard and read about since I was a child, the depression, repression, enslavement, abuse, torture, slaughter, genocide, show no mercy. WHO WANTS THIS INSANITY BACK AGAIN? You've got to be a F'n DUNCE! WHY DRAG THIS HORRIBLE SKELETON OUT OF ITS GRAVE AGAIN? DUNCES! HATEFUL DUNCES! 𓉴🤡

Every time I think of this, it makes me sick to my stomach, literally. Like eating a 💩🥪 - 👅🤢🤮 These people can't be human or of human stock from which descended homo sapiens. Talk about CREEPY CRAWLERS! Better stay out of crowds, or you may have prowlers stealing the crawlers out of your drawers!*_

Oh Lordie, what a day! Let us all pray that the great Boss upstairs expedites whatever Karma He has judged and passed onto the ORANGE TURD 😡💩

I LOVE COMEDIANS. I met a lot of them in my travels, some good, some mediocre, and some, well, to put it this way, they wouldn't know a joke if they tripped over it and it turned around and bit them on the ankle.

Well, that is certainly a thought worth considering at some point today. In The Begining: Let there be light, energy, and heat. Analyze the *artifact. In science, an artifact can refer to a false result or a product of a testing procedure. From energy to molecular particles, compressed together by gravity into larger level structures that formed the mass, Nature has order. How can there be order in chance manifestations? Would that without order be chaos? I don't think I care to experience greater chaos than the Orange Menace sows daily.

🔹AI Overview

In the Bible, a world without order represents a state of chaos, emptiness, and darkness, mirroring the "formless and empty" void present before creation

(Genesis 1:2). It is characterized by spiritual confusion, selfish ambition, evil practices, and the absence of divine structure, fundamentally diverging from God's character as a God of peace and order

🔹AI Overview

A world without order—or an era of "un-order"—is characterized by the collapse of established, US-led rules-based systems, replaced by unpredictable, hyperconnected crises and heightened great power competition. This shift stems from structural disruptions like economic instability, climate change, and technological advances, where "law no longer reliably constrains power".

Exclusive: Trump moves to accelerate deportations of migrant children in US custody

The Trump administration is taking steps to accelerate the deportations of migrant children in US custody amid White House pressure to quickly move kids through the system, according to administration officials and lawyers for the children.

Immigration hearings, where a judge will eventually decide whether a child can stay in the US or be deported, are being moved up by weeks or even months, making it more difficult for attorneys to obtain immigration relief for kids in an already cumbersome process.

Children as young as four years old are being forced to repeatedly appear in court and provide updates on the status of their case, at times without legal help, within a matter of weeks...

UAE to quit OPEC in blow to world’s leading oil exporters, as Iran war roils energy sector

Iran is expected to submit a revised peace proposal, sources say, after President Donald Trump indicated he would not accept an earlier version.

*Here's The Latest:*

• UAE quits oil cartel: The United Arab Emirates will withdraw from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) this week, as the Iran war roils global energy markets. The UAE took the decision now because the closure of the Strait of Hormuz will limit the impact on the oil market, the country’s energy minister told CNN.

The number of House members who have opted not to run for re-election has surged, marking the largest wave of departures in three decades. A handful of them are Republicans from swing districts who appeared to be headed toward a loss in the November elections.

But a lot more are from safe GOP seats that would likely withstand the biggest of blue waves, and their possible reasons for leaving are an indication of what’s going wrong in Washington.

Trump details shared U.S.-U.K. history as he warmly welcomes King Charles to the White House

4-day trip intends to highlight historic ties between U.K. and U.S. but comes as leaders trade criticism

The Latest:

• King Charles arrived Monday in Washington, D.C., for his first official state visit to the U.S. as monarch, to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence and celebrate the country's "historic connections" with the U.K.
• After a number of events this morning, Charles will address U.S. Congress at 3 p.m. ET — a rare honour for a British monarch last bestowed to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1991. The day will wrap with a state dinner at the White House.
• The four-day trip will also include a wreath-laying at Virginia's Arlington National Cemetery and a stop in New York City, before the royals continue to Bermuda, which is a British overseas territory.
• The visit comes as tensions have flared between the U.S. and the U.K. over the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying earlier this month he was "fed up" with energy price swings.
• Starmer has defended the state visit, though, saying the royal institution "is often able to reach through the decades," and suggesting the King's visit could help steady relations.

Support for Alberta separatism flat, struggling high earners more likely supporters: poll

Most Albertans skeptical referendum on separation would pass

After months of signature-gathering and with a potential referendum on independence on the horizon, a new poll done for CBC News suggests Albertans' support for separatism remains flat, with few persuaded to change sides.

"What was amazing was how very close the numbers this year were with last year, well within the margin of error," said Calgary-based pollster Janet Brown, whose Janet Brown Opinion Research directed a random survey of 1,200 Albertans between April 7 and 22, carried out by Trend Research.

"Given how much the economic environment in Alberta is changing, it's interesting to see separatist sentiment holding steady in these uncertain times." The survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

It's a beautiful sunny Monday morning here on the Peninsula. I was outside for a moment, wearing my jacket, since the air was still chilly but so peaceful. That is what I love about this neighborhood, with parkland on three sides of the apartment building, and the balcony decorated in artificial plants, it's like living in a tree house in the woods, all year round.

I thought today would be a good day to discuss another subject besides politics.

Science: Big Bang Theory:

There have been many new theories about the Big Bang that have been proposed through the years, but none have been conclusive enough to overturn Albert Einstein's Big Bang Theory from his 1916 General Theory of Relativity

BREAKING NEWS:

Washington, DC — “The word ‘special’ does not begin to do it justice,” said Donald Trump of the relationship between the United States and Britain. “We’re like two notes in one chord, or two verses of the same poem – each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together.” *That was in September,* when the US president spoke at a banquet hosted by King Charles III to mark his unprecedented second state visit to Britain. Since then, Trump’s comments about Britain have not been so lyrical, or so kind.

The president has called Prime Minister Keir Starmer a “loser” over his refusal to assist the US militarily in its war with Iran. He said Starmer was “no Churchill,” comparing him instead to Neville Chamberlain, a previous British leader who appeased Hitler. He declared that Britain was no longer “the Rolls-Royce of allies” and dismissed its Royal Navy aircraft carriers as “toys.” Asked this month about the state of the “special relationship,” Trump replied: “Not good, not good at all.”

It falls to King Charles to help mend it. The monarch lands in the US on Monday for a four-day state visit to mark the 250th anniversary of its independence, declared during the reign of his five-times great-grandfather, King George III...

Epstein files show extent of his unsavory relationships with magicians David Blaine and David Copperfield

David Blaine was on a mission to conquer his next impossible feat, and it required ingesting kerosene.

To train for the dangerous act, the world-famous magician first practiced with water — plus some goldfish. With filmmaker Woody Allen on hand watching him, Blaine gulped down a glass of water with a pair of fish in it. He then spit out the water in quick bursts into a tub; hours of water-spewing later, the two goldfish he had swallowed also came back out of Blaine’s stomach into a fishbowl, seemingly alive and well.

The stunt appears to have been part of ABC’s 2013 special “David Blaine: Real or Magic.” But what Blaine never mentions is that he filmed that segment from inside of Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City townhouse.

Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz if U.S. lifts its blockade and the war ends, officials say

President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, which was passed to the Americans by Pakistan.

CAIRO (AP) — Iran has offered to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. lifting its blockade on the country and an end to the war, while proposing that discussions on the larger question of its nuclear program would come in a later phase, two regional officials said Monday. U.S. President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, which was passed to the Americans by Pakistan and would leave unresolved the disagreements that led the U.S. and Israel to go to war on Feb. 28.

With a fragile ceasefire in place, the U.S. and Iran are locked in a standoff over the strait, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas passes in peacetime. The U.S blockade is designed to prevent Iran from selling its oil, depriving it of crucial revenue while also potentially creating a situation where Tehran has to shut off production because it has nowhere to store the oil.

The strait’s closure, meanwhile, has put pressure on Trump, as oil and gasoline prices have skyrocketed ahead of crucial midterm elections, and it has pressured his Gulf allies, which use the waterway to export their oil and gas. The closure has also had far-reaching effects throughout the world economy, raising the price of fertilizer, food and other basic goods.

The proposal would push off negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program to a later date. Trump said one of the major reasons he went to war was to deny Iran the ability to develop nuclear weapons.

The two officials, who had knowledge of the proposal, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations between Iranian and Pakistani officials this weekend. The Axios news outlet first reported Iran’s proposal...

Suspect at White House Correspondents’ Dinner may have been targeting Trump officials, Blanche says

President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety after shots were fired near stairs leading down to the main ballroom.

• Potential motive: The suspected gunman who charged through a security checkpoint at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner appeared to be targeting Trump administration officials, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN.

• How the incident unfolded: President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety at the Washington Hilton after shots were fired near stairs leading down to the ballroom, sending attendees ducking for cover. The suspect, who police say was armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives, “got off a few shots” before he was subdued by law enforcement, according to Blanche.

• California man in custody: Authorities identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old from California, three sources told CNN. He will face several charges, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. FBI agents assembled overnight outside a home linked to Allen in Torrance, a Los Angeles suburb..

• ‘We are less-than’: Americans fear more cuts to healthcare programs after RFK Jr. hearings
• The Trump administration is poised to eviscerate Medicaid access for millions. RFK Jr. offered little to soften the incoming blow.

The walls are closing in on millions of Americans who utilize federal healthcare benefits such as Medicare and Medicaid, as the sweeping changes and cuts promised in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” inch closer to reality, and lawmakers do little to soften the incoming blow.

All eyes were on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week as he wrapped up a marathon seven congressional committee hearings, in review of several proposed federal health nominees and his handling of HHS. Senators spent the week grilling Kennedy over Trump’s 2027 budget proposal, which would cut $15.8 billion from HHS and put new restrictions on those seeking Medicaid coverage — on top of the impacts of Trump’s bill, which leaves millions at risk of losing insurance coverage.

But the Kennedy hearings didn’t offer much in the way of positive news for federal aid recipients anxious about the future. Instead, Kennedy spent the week defending Trump’s budget proposal and balking — or making misleading claims — about cuts to Medicaid, which is poised to lose $1 trillion in federal spending by 2034 under Trump’s current terms. “In all honesty, until Trump is gone, RFK is out, along with others who shouldn’t be anywhere near anything to do with Healthcare...

Is the species of homo sapiens suffering from senility, dying of old age on the evolutionary scale already? That shouldn't be for several billion years yet, before the final step in the evolutionary process, if you can put a time scale on the infinities.

OVERPOPULATION could and may quite well be one of the major factors in the problems we face today. I will not address it in this discussion.

If that's so, then I'm the last of the Mohicans that's still got an operational noggin, and everyone else is jumping off the precipice like lemmings! "Oh me, Oh my!

Really, though, it's like I'm watching a very large automaton falling apart in little pieces. It is tearing itself apart piece by piece. Man has reached the brink in technology and science to the point where he or she has already taken a peek under G-d's kimono.

Attaining this marvelous technological and scientific level, we should be sufficiently advanced to comprehend what is happening and stop it. We are allowing mentally ill people to feel joy in destroying the good, and sane people CRINGE at the actions of the insane, but do nothing to end it.

Maybe we are at the doorstep to Armageddon. If so, then go ahead, by all means, step into the theater of horrors. I just happened to fall into the right cracks at the right time, and I see what's really in those cracks. I have some difficulty remembering the small stuff in the temporal world we share, e.g., taking my pills on time, when there is so much more to think about. But I have an excellent memory for the things I discover in the cracks outside our usual endeavors, where most others don't even see the cracks, let alone the contents within them.

Maybe it's like Brian Cox said on TV last night, "Don't worry too much if you don't understand me, I'm sometimes not sure if I understand what I am saying myself."

She took portraits of civilians who decided to stay in the city, asking them what the war meant to them and how it has affected their lives.

“Some people had to keep working. Some stayed home and endured the hours in uncertainty. Some were focused on protecting loved ones. Others tried to hold on to a sense of normal life as that life became increasingly fragile,” said Rahmanian, who works in Tehran with the permission of the government. “These stories do not offer a complete account of the war...

Trump is using the Iran war to take more control over business

The president has already turned the federal government into a major shareholder

President Donald Trump considers China the country’s biggest rival. But he also seems to view it as a model where the state calls the shots on who gets ahead in business. Since returning to office, Trump has taken a more direct stake in American businesses than his predecessors — especially the Republican ones — turning the federal goverrnment into a major shareholder.

While it’s still nowhere near China’s state-directed market economy, it’s still closer to it than the U.S. has typically been. America’s investment portfolio currently spans 16 companies with $21 billion invested so far, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The roster includes smaller stakes in Intel Corp. — the single-largest federal commitment— and rare-earth mineral companies such as MP Materials among others.

Now he’s poised to use the Iran war to exert more power in the economy. The Trump administration is galloping ahead with a pair of bailouts for Spirit Airlines and the United Arab Emirates...

• With Trump knocking down wall after wall separating business and government, that critique appears prescient.

Court defers deportation of truck driver who caused fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu's application accepted by Federal Court judge at hearing on Friday

Days from being deported, an 11th-hour decision by a Federal Court justice on Friday means that Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who was found responsible for the fatal Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018, can stay in Canada for a little while longer.

Sidhu was behind the wheel of the semi-truck that blew through an oversized stop sign with a flashing yellow light, right into the path of the Saskatchewan junior hockey team’s bus, on April 6, 2018. The collision killed 16 players and staff and injured 13 others. He was scheduled to be deported and board a plane for India early Monday morning...

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning, everyone! Well, I got out of bed twice this morning. The first time I got up, I felt sick to my stomach, so I turned on the small heater in the kitchen while I went to spray whatever wasn't agreeing with my stomach, maybe a dead weasel, or a flopping sucker fish, who knows? Maybe my mom was a pelican 🦤 😁 Well, here it is 10:20 in the morning, and just getting started. I will be keeping it brief today; I can only pray that someone finds some morsel in today's Tree House News to take home with them. Put it under your pillow and save it for a rainy day, eh? 🥹⛈️

THE GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY IS:

LISTEN UP CANADA!

Lockheed Martin and MAS formalized partnership to build F-35 depot

- April 23, 2026 -

The twenty-third day of the fourth month of 2026

Like the medical Care, WATCH THE MONEY! Too many tiefs and pirates hereabouts, especially in Ontario.

Lockheed Martin and L3Harris MAS formalized a strategic partnership on April 21, 2026, to establish an F-35 Air Vehicle Depot in Mirabel, Quebec. This agreement creates a framework for collaboration and information sharing to support the long-term sustainment of Canada's future fleet of F-35 fighter jets.

F35.com

Key Partnership Details

• Signatories: The agreement was signed by MAS General Manager Ugo Paniconi and Lockheed Martin F-35 Customer Programs Vice President Marshall Shepard.

• Infrastructure: The depot will be located at the existing L3Harris facilities in Mirabel, which currently maintain Canada's CF-18 fleet.

Investment: L3Harris estimates that retooling the infrastructure to handle advanced F-35 maintenance will cost at least $200 million, primarily for enhanced security measures.

Regional Hub Ambitions: While the primary focus is on Canada's planned fleet, MAS aims to transform the facility into a regional hub that could eventually service U.S. and other international F-35 aircraft.

F35.com

Economic and Strategic Impact

Sovereign Capability: The partnership enables Canada to independently operate and maintain its F-35 fleet, reducing reliance on overseas logistics.

• Job Creation: The project is expected to support approximately 1,500 direct and 3,500 indirect jobs, contributing to the aerospace ecosystem in Quebec.

• Supply Chain: The depot will anchor a framework of roughly 30 Canadian suppliers, potentially contributing $3.2 million per jet across the global F-35 fleet.

This formalization follows Canada's earlier identification of L3Harris MAS as a "Strategic Partner" in late 2024 to investigate depot requirements.

Jeanine Pirro drops criminal probe of Jerome Powell

Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, said Friday she is closing the criminal probe of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

That would clear the way for Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s pick to succeed Powell, to get confirmed for the role. Powell’s term helming the central bank is set to expire on May 15, and Warsh appeared before the Senate Banking Committee for a confirmation hearing earlier this week. However, one key senator on the committee vowed to block the vote unless the DOJ dropped the investigation into Powell.

The Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into the Fed chair in January after Trump spent months railing against Powell for not lowering interest rates faster. Trump’s complaints included accusations of impropriety and incompetence in cost overruns at the central bank’s ongoing multibillion-dollar renovation project at its Washington, DC, headquarters...

The move to abandon the investigation comes after weeks of private pleas from Senate Republicans that grew increasingly public

Americans are asking if the president is OK

His always-erratic behavior is raising new questions amid the Iran war.

Is the president OK?

I asked that question on TV this week. Not as a throwaway line or a partisan jab, but as a serious question about the capacity of the person holding the most powerful office in the world.

Since Donald Trump announced his first campaign for the White House in 2015, critics have wondered about his frequent digressions, anecdotes that never happened and seemingly dwindling vocabulary.

But in his second term, especially over the past few weeks, Trump has seemed more erratic than ever, making bizarre claims and accusations about the Iran war on social media and ratcheting up his already inflammatory rhetoric.

Americans are noticing.

• For years,“sanewashing” has helped normalize Trump’s words and actions.
