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.
๐นAI 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.

MORE RECRUITS FOR THE LABOR CAMPS, if they survive, and LISTEN UP CANADA! The NUTZY NAZIS are coming for us, too.
THE QUESTION IS, ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW THE PROPHESIES IN THE BIBLE TO SIMPLY HAPPEN? Has anyone ever wondered if those prophecies were more like warnings, and not written in stone? If the people do nothing about it, just surrender to it, then the prophecy has proven itself to be, by letting it happen. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO RESIST WHATEVER FEELS WRONG, LIKE THIS REGIME. Just looking at the head of this Orange Horse's Arse gives me the CREEPS. It's like, ya know, like petting a porcupine backward! Ya never know when you'll get the point. Insanity doesn't make sense.
๐นAI Overview
The Trump administration has shifted national homelessness policy toward clearing encampments, increasing law enforcement, and promoting institutionalization, leading to aggressive sweeps in Washington, D.C., and new federal funding rules.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:
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...

Yas got empty pipelines, my arse; it's because the rest of the world dictates it. Their tanks are empty; everyone else's are too ๐๐ฉ ? I wonder what will happen once the lights begin shutting off.
