Another splendid morning here at the Tree House 🌄 So quiet and peaceful out here in my Green Space🌱🌿 🍃, with my floral arrangements and other plants decorating a large balcony on the fifth floor and the trees across the way; it gives the impression of a tree house. My sister loved it, too. Usually It's a very quiet neighborhood, but for the last two years they've been doing construction work on the street right in front of the building, the cockroaches! Well, I guess that's part of life, or reality as we know it.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Making Decisions:

For every POSITIVE thing done, there is an opposite NEGATIVE reaction. So choose carefully; for every action you take, there will be RESISTANCE. Nothing gets done without resistance in this physical lifetime and timeline here in the physical world.

Question: For every POSITIVE thing there is an opposite NEGATIVE reaction

🔹AI Overview

This idea sounds like Newton's third law of motion in physics, which says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, this rule does not apply to every part of life, feelings, or human actions...

I believe that psychologically, we make wrong or right choices by either reading the map correctly or not. After reading the map, the bloke resumes driving off the precipice with your nice new Audi Q7. It happened enough times to me.

TAKING A GOOD INVENTORY first will make it easier to read the strings that connect the dots; it should always be a prerequisite to a plan of action. A PLAN OF ACTION never hurt anyone, except for the poor bloke who just drove his Audi off the precipice.

Question: Psychologically making right or wrong decisions

🔹AI Overview

Psychologically, decision-making relies on a balance between fast, emotional intuition (System 1) and slow, logical reasoning (System 2). Right choices typically stem from emotional regulation, realistic expectations, and self-awareness, while wrong or poor choices are driven by stress, cognitive biases, and the avoidance of uncertainty...

Open vs. closed: The debate shaping the future of AI

The White House waded into one of the hottest debates in AI this week: Open or closed?

A new framework governing how the administration will review advanced AI models pre-release covers only the most powerful "closed" models, like Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's ChatGPT, people familiar with the matter told CNN. Open models will be excluded from the voluntary pre-release review, at least for now. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)

The administration is racing to get a handle on an almost entirely unregulated industry – one that's advancing at breathtaking speed. Some of the central questions: Should our AI future be built on tightly controlled closed models or on open models that allow users to modify and customize? And should the US restrict fast-growing open-source models from China that are advancing rapidly?...

Jeanine Pirro's persecution of the Reflecting Pool defendants served its awful purpose

This is not a "no harm, no foul" situation — because unwarranted attention from the federal government is harm in and of itself.

We shouldn't know who David Hearn is. The 67-year-old placed ninth in a white water canoe race at the 1996 Olympics — a distant finish in the near-distant past that underscores the point that, in 2026, he should be blissfully anonymous.

But in a move that violated the legitimate expectation that our government will not wrongly scapegoat its people, the Trump administration slimed Hearn's name. In June, the Justice Department made the outrageous claim that Hearn had vandalized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington and charged him with a felony count of destruction of property, which brings a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

• Rather than admit to a botched renovation, Trump's despotic administration charged Hearn and three others with crimes.:

"To be called out by the president of the United States and called a sick, violent vandal when all I had done was pick up a piece of trash was awful."

Large white supremacist meeting shakes residents of Alberta town

RCMP 'aware' of Second Sons Canada, monitoring 'rise of hate-motivated crime and incidents'

Residents of a small town outside Calgary are shocked to learn that Canada's most prominent white supremacist group held its second annual national meeting — where masked group members participated in military-style drills — at a volunteer-run community centre in early July. "My first reaction is: that scares me," Lou Kuiack, a Millarville-area resident, told a CBC Calgary reporter. "I didn't think that would come to our small little town, in our backyard."

Using visual clues in videos posted by the group, Second Sons Canada, CBC's visual investigations team identified the location of the gathering roughly 70 kilometres southwest of Calgary, near the hamlet of Millarville, Alta.

Second Sons Canada was formed in 2024 and has chapters across the country.

Morning, all! It's a beautiful Tuesday morning here in Barrie. According to AccuWeather, it is supposed to be mostly sunny for most of August, with temperatures in the mid-70s and 80s. I hope it stays like that until spring. I dread seeing what this winter will bring

What will happen this winter: more catastrophes, man-made and natural disasters, will put more people on the street? There's a whole mess of Americans living on the street, which no one seems to pay attention to on the major news networks, except for Rachel Maddow. I wonder why?

You see, the biggest problem is not just surviving the disasters; it's surviving the winter without proper shelter and food supply. The cold is what's going to be the biggest killer. There are different ways to survive heat, but the cold- not so! The cold is relentless and unforgiving.

IF LAST YEAR WAS TOUGH, WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF THE HOMELESS ABOUT TO FACE A WINTER WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF PROPER SHELTER AND A SOURCE OF FOOD? What happens if the temperature dips down to 5° F and all you have between it and the cold is the canvas wall of a tent and a blanket? If you're lucky, it's a nice thermal blanket at least.

🔹AI Overview

Economic reports from 2024 through 2025 detail slowing job growth, rising living costs, and high public frustration regarding the cost of living, though federal point-in-time data from January 2025 actually showed a slight national decrease in homelessness compared to 2024.

Economic and Labor Market Trends

•Job Growth: Hiring slowed significantly, and key blue-collar or manufacturing sectors faced contractions and job losses following new federal policies and tariffs.

• Cost of Living: Prices for housing, electricity, and basic household goods remained high, leaving many families feeling that affordability worsened.

Man charged with arson in one of three wildfires torching Washington's Spokane area

A man has been charged with first-degree arson in connection with one of three wildfires ripping through eastern Washington state, Spokane County's sheriff said, as firefighters race to contain infernos that have left a trail of destruction across the region.

Since igniting Saturday, the three fires in Spokane County have destroyed more than 700 structures and displaced tens of thousands of residents. Crews are scrambling to gain ground before temperatures climb back into the 90s later this week –– with dry heat potentially fueling even more dangerous conditions.

"The situation is dire," Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson told CNN Monday evening. "These are neighborhoods in the city (of Spokane) that in large part have been just wiped out."...

Democrats unveil sweeping proposal to combat Trump authoritarianism

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., is packaging together a number of existing bills with some new ideas to curb what he calls authoritarian abuses of presidential power

Warning that the United States already has the "ingredients" of a "strongman state," a Democratic senator is rolling out a sweeping legislative package designed to curb what he calls authoritarian abuses of power — with President Donald Trump squarely in mind.

The 10-part, 417-page proposal from Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. — shared first with MS NOW — touches on everything from immigration enforcement to whether a sitting president's likeness can appear on U.S. currency. "Authoritarianism isn't down the street or around the corner — it is here right now," Merkley said in a statement, blaming the combination of a "rubber-stamp" Congress, a "deferential" Supreme Court and a "power-hungry President behaving like a king."

"The For Our Republic Act lays out a clear roadmap of the actions Congress can take to fight back against Trump's authoritarian takeover...

An independent Alberta's U.S. oil exports would mostly be piped through other provinces

Canada and Alberta could reach pipeline shipment deals. But no guarantees in trade talks, experts say

In some Alberta separatists' arguments, their big idea isn't so much about severing the province from Canada. The goal is to fortify trade bonds with Alberta's southern neighbor.

"We sit beside the largest economy in the world, with the shortest and lowest-cost trade routes to our most important customer," independence leader Keith Wilson said in a social media post last week. "The problem is not geography. The problem is Ottawa control."

It's true that Alberta is a five-million-barrel-a-day oil powerhouse, and that more than two-thirds of that oil is piped to the United States, making it more valuable than any other export product in Canada...

Morning everyone! Yesterday's deluge stopped overnight, and this morning is a classically hot, sunny August day. We will be here one more day to teach my sister how to use her new laptop, then we will be headed home tomorrow afternoon. I endured the cold caught fairly well. If this is the worst of it, I'll survive OK. I just move a lot slower than before with mild congestion and achy bones, but that's about it.

Gas prices would not be a big concern if that stupid F--k Trumpo The Typo had stayed out of that hornet's nest in the Middle East. After watching all the hijinks between Israel and the surrounding Palestinian countries, if you ask me, I think they forgot which way Mecca is. They're sending their methane 💨the wrong way. They are nothing more than a bunch of throat-slitting religious fanatics atamatons with no value for life; they hate Westerners especially.

(Their word for white man or Westerner is *KHAWAJA (خواجة)

For them, to disappear a KHAWAJA or Westerner, a nothing burger, is an honor to their god; it's the same as exterminating cockroaches; they even off each other without much compulsion. "Allah will reward me."

Oh well, now that they're shooting at each other, maybe the crude oil business will collapse much sooner after blowing up each other's oil wells and refineries, (‿ˠ‿)🕳️

That may be good for the greedy, thieving oil companies who have been robbing us for years; now they're suddenly going to shut off the spigot! Poor oil companies. WAKE UP, CANADA! Set prices that are tolerable to keep the wheels of our nation running while converting to alternative energy, hybrid transportation, and EVs.

MIDDLE EAST AND FOSSIL FUEL PRICES

Why doesn't Canada use its own oil as a bridge fuel and charge prices Canadians can afford

Canada does not set lower domestic oil prices or isolate its energy supply because it operates within a deeply integrated global and North American market, is bound by international trade rules, and faces severe logistical gaps between extraction and refining regions.

Global Market and Trade Obligations

Market pricing: Canada sells and buys oil on open global and North American markets where prices balance out via competition and arbitrage.

Trade agreements: International pacts like NAFTA/USMCA require Canadian producers to offer oil to trading partners on the same terms as domestic buyers, legally preventing Canada from forcing producers to sell oil locally at a discount.

Geography and Infrastructure Gaps

What happens when Canadians can't afford fuel and things begin shutting down

AI Overview

When fuel becomes unaffordable and widespread shutdowns occur, Canada faces severe economic paralysis, supply chain collapse, and deep societal strain. Essential goods stop moving, businesses close their doors, and daily life grinds to a halt.

Supply Chain and Transport Collapse

• Delivery halts:* Trucks cannot afford diesel to move food, medicine, and retail goods between provinces and cities.

• Empty shelves: Grocery stores and pharmacies run out of fresh items and essentials within days as regional distribution stops.

• Public transit cuts: Buses, trains, and municipal transit services reduce schedules or shut down due to high operational costs and lack of fuel.

Economic and Business Closures

• Business bankruptcies: Small and medium businesses that rely heavily on shipping or daily commuting face immediate insolvency.

• Mass layoffs: Service, manufacturing, and logistics companies lay off workers as operations pause or revenue drops to zero.

• Remote work mandates: Offices and schools shift to emergency remote formats where possible to cut down on personal travel and transit usage.

Societal and Government Intervention

• Emergency rationing: Governments may implement official fuel rationing, limiting how much gasoline or diesel individuals and commercial entities can buy.

• Public utility strain: Emergency services, hospitals, and municipal heat/power grids prioritize remaining fuel reserves exclusively for critical infrastructure.

• Civil disruption:

Almost 65,000 people evacuated as Spokane County wildfires cause ‘heartbreaking’ devastation

Here's The Latest

• Communities devastated: Almost 65,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in Spokane County, Washington, as crews battle three major wildfires. No injuries or deaths have been confirmed, but officials said the scale of the fires means it will take time to fully assess.

Are there climate benefits to Canada's new relationship with China?

Allowance of small number of Chinese electric vehicles part of larger cleantech strategy, experts say

When Canada announced earlier this year that it would allow a token number of Chinese-made electric vehicles into the country, the gesture didn't seem so much about climate action as a sop to ease Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola.

Now, it very much appears like the opening gambit in a deeper engagement with China on clean energy. Following up on Prime Minister Mark Carney's momentous meeting with Chinese Premier Xi Jinping in January, Industry Minister Melanie Joly was in Beijing last month to discuss the feasibility of Canadian-Chinese EV ventures.

Meanwhile, the Canada China Business Council is organizing a cleantech mission to China in Beijing in November While Carney has gone to great lengths recently to placate Canada's fossil fuel industry — most notably by promising a new pipeline to the B.C. coast — some experts suggest a new relationship with China could provide an efficient way to get back on track with the clean energy transition that much of the rest of the world is already undertaking. ...

Hi, everyone! We left home at 11:00 am, stopped for gas and the drug store for stuff for my cold, and made a stop at A&W for some fries and coffee. We still arrived at my sister's early Saturday at 3:35 pm. On a holiday weekend? One is lucky to make that distance north of Toronto to cottage country from the Niagara Peninsula in one day; it would usually be a five-hour drive in heavy traffic. Strange, maybe the high prices of gas are keeping people close to home? Anyway, whatever the reason, it was in our favor.

The weather was nice right up till we got here; no sooner did we get the suitcases into my sister's apartment than it was like a monsoon hit. They needed the rain up here. The good news is that some of those wildfires up north have been doused by rain; let's pray it keeps up the trend.

I have two topics to discuss today. Prejudice is being used as an excuse to starve people to death; back with that later. The death camps have already started. The other topic is just how Ford the Pirate is diverting public health care funds to private enterprise. That will do it; that'll get rid of the poor and the middle class, which is about 80% of the world. If they are trying to reduce the population, you could easily get rid of 80% of the population, if not all of it, with one special viral infection, whether a natural one or man-made.

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS BEING ALLOWED!

We have a nutcase for a president; the signs of dementia and insanity are quite obvious when watching this orange idiot perform behind a lectern and microphone, talking word vomit. 100% 25th Amendment material. WHY DON'T THEY JUST PLAIN ARREST AND LOCK HIM UP IN A LOONY BIN with the rest of the non compos mentis?

WAKE UP AND GET RID OF HIM BEFORE YOU NO LONGER CAN,

It may already be alredy too late.

A SAMPLE OF THE TRUMPO REGIME. DO NOT FORGET!

There are others at work behind the scenes on this NAZI REGIME PROJECT 2025. Trumpo does NOT have the brains to pull this off. Insanity creates only chaos. NOT ORDER.

My latest research result is as follows:

Question: Ford redirecting our federal health care funds to who in the private sector?

AI Overview

The Ontario government is directing public healthcare funds and expanding contracts to private, for-profit Independent Health Facilities (IHFs), surgical clinics, and diagnostic centers rather than fully funding public hospitals.

Where the Funds and Services Are Going

• For-Profit Surgical and Diagnostic Clinics: Funding is shifting toward private clinics (such as cataract surgery providers and MRI/CT scan centers) licensed to perform OHIP-covered procedures.
• For-Profit Chains and Agencies: Money is being allocated to private-chain corporations delivering community diagnostics, long-term care beds, and primary care management, alongside heavy reliance on private nursing staffing agencies.

Private Management Funds: Broader fiscal allocation shifts (such as multi-billion-dollar provincial economic funds managed via external private firms) draw sharp criticism from labor groups and watchdogs who argue the money bypasses urgent frontline public hospital needs

My Comment:

Ford has either got his hand caught in the jar or failed to cover his tracks completely; the $3.5 billion allocation from the federal government for the provincial health care plan, OHIP- was it just a smoke screen of sorts? Anyone using Google Search can follow the way the Ford administration has spent its healthcare funding. Anyway, we will all soon know when that $3.5 billion disappeared, and where it went, by the condition of the health care system that has only worsened instead of improving.

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Hello there, I'll have a Cheeeeeez wiz sandwich and a coffee, please! Served on the patio, please. I could also be sitting on the deck of a river boat watching the trees and shoreline going by on an imaginary river in some tropical setting. 🌴🌿 Finally, I got an island of regular time to myself for the day. Speaking of regular, I saw last night coming home that the gas was $1.65 a liter, down about 10 cents; did Trumpo The Typo poo poo his diapee on the Iran war? It's all insanity; don't even bother trying to figure out a pattern in his mental process. Being sane is the ability to detect insanity as NOT NORMAL

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

WHY NOT IMPOSE THE 25TH AMENDMENT? HE IS UNFIT FOR DUTY!

Question: Which amendment gives authority to remove a president from office?

🔹AI Overview

The Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides the authority to sideline an unfit or incapacitated president, specifically through its fourth section. (Note: The original text of Article II of the Constitution also grants Congress the power of impeachment and removal for high crimes and misdemeanors, rather than an amendment.)

It sort of looks to me that Trumpo The Typo has everyone by the shorts and squeezin' fer more, and everyone gets on their knees and empties their pockets to the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, and that means you, too, CANADIANS

HE SHOULD BE CUFFED AND PUT BEHIND BARS. THE ONLY REASON HE IS NOT IS THAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF HIS BIG YELLOW BUS. I BELIEVE HE LITERALLY WOULD OFF SOMEONE ON MAIN STREET WITHOUT COMPUNCTION, and those judges would probably protect him, so America, I fear you have this big orange turd 🟠💩 stuck up your (‿ˠ‿) with crazy glue 🧴 and you voted for it.

And I truly believe no one would make a move to stop him, COWARDS! But then It's a psychological thing: For example, as I see it from my perspective, they, Trumpo and Bunch, especially the arse-kissing Congress and with the backing of the Supreme Court, go along with confusing the masses so they don't know what's right or wrong anymore. Then suddenly, Trumpo turns the Democrats into COMMUNISTS! They are the bad guys, labeled as such by the Trumpo followers. Trumpo orders his Dunce Cadets, "Get the commies!" The younger generation shouts, waving Nazi flags, without having any true understanding of the misery and hate that flag represents.

🔹AI Overview

Psychological mass hypnosis: often referred to in social psychology as collective suggestion, mental contagion, or mass hysteria, is a phenomenon where large groups of people adopt unified behaviors, intense beliefs, or physical symptoms without a rational basis. It relies on heightened suggestibility, social isolation, and continuous fear-based messaging.

By the next election, if there ever is one, they will grow more into thinking that the way of living under the Trumpo Nazi regime will be the new generation's norm. see? I never lived under a communist or Nazi regime, but from what I read, I count my blessings I wasn't born until it was over; I was born in June 1945.

We are responsible in a way that somewhere we allowed our children to turn against the system and allowed a schoolyard psychotic BULLY 🧌 with the IQ of a gnat 🪲 to run the country

✨🟰; what do you expect?

NOTE: I will be away again tomorrow. I do pray I will be back to normal publishing again on 4 of August. I will be posting when I can while away.

BREAKING NEWS:

Russia’s new target: Ukrainian civilians filling up at gas stations

The gas station was already aflame, when policeman Mykhailo Tsypliakov and his colleagues ran in to help. He heard the buzz of a second drone descending and hit the ground.

“I saw a flash, then got up right away,” Tsypliakov said. “I saw that my arm, legs and torso were injured.” He’s one of dozens of victims of Russia’s latest campaign against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure: fuel stations. Over two hundred have been hit in June and July, which works out at about three a day, according to Ukrainian officials.

They’re aimed, Tsypliakov said, “to intimidate, to sow fear and panic. Panic is the scariest thing right now. Because when a person panics, they lose control of themselves.”...

Trump holds Cabinet meeting at Camp David amid widening Iran war

As he brings his Cabinet together for the first time since May, President Donald Trump is struggling to lay out a clear path to end the war with Iran.

As President Donald Trump huddles with his top advisers at Camp David on Friday, his to-do list from the last Cabinet meeting in May has hit hard realities.

The war with Iran that Trump said would end in “weeks” is expanding with no endgame in sight. There has been little progress in stopping Iran from threatening ships and slowing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. economic growth has slowed. Inflation is still stuck above the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2% and prices remain high.

That leaves Trump and his team facing a daunting challenge: figure out how to resolve the conflict it started with Israel before the ripple effects wreak more havoc in the Gulf region and on the U.S. economy, all while the president’s approval rating hits a record low 32%, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll...

At least 34 migrants dead after thousands breach border into Spain's Ceuta enclave

Shock and division in Europe after mass crossing in North Africa

Spain and Morocco reinforced the border fence of a Spanish enclave on Friday and appeared to have largely halted mass crossings after tens of thousands of people arrived by sea and land in a day.

At least 34 people have died, officials say, after some 60,000 crossed into Ceuta in the past few days, the leader of the Spanish enclave in North Africa, Juan Jesus Vivas, told reporters on Friday.

An estimated 25,000 migrants have voluntarily returned to Morocco, according to Spain's Interior Ministry. The mass crossing into Ceuta — a tiny Spanish-held spit jutting into the Mediterranean from Morocco — caused shock and division in Europe...
