Great Spirit bless 🙏

It's a great morning at the Tree House! Other than the threat of severe thunderstorms sometime this afternoon, it is a sunny and peaceful morning out there, with the early-rising sun, singing birds, and the lush green trees against a purply blue sky. Spiritual? To me, it is.

As for storms, I pray everyone is safe and prepared, especially if you live in a watershed area. May you be able to get to high ground and rent a motel room, etc., for the night away from home. And if you can't because of a rapidly worsening storm, take shelter in any windowless room, hallway, or bathtub if there is nowhere else to go. I can't remember how many stories I've heard on the news of people miraculously surviving hurricanes or twisters in a bathtub. Just Google it.

O.M.G. We're no longer in Ontario, Toto!! 👩🐕 We're in the land of Oz! 🥰 🌈🪄🎩✨🏰

Is a bathtub safe during a tornado?

Question: Can you really ride out and survive a tornado by sheltering in your bathtub?

• 1 Yes, and this technique has saved many people.

• 2 Or find a room in the middle of your home, away from outside walls.

• 3 Or an enclosed area like a closet or windowless room on the opposite side of the house and lie low, away from the tornado's path if you know the direction it's coming from.<- in my own words.

If you have solar batteries, make certain they are fully charged.

Check your water and food supplies. We have a water cooler, so we usually have three or four five-gallon plastic water jugs full of clean, filtered water around. If you still have city water service, outside contact via cell phone and a WiFi hotspot, then you've got it made in the shade, Jake. The Achilles' heel in my home is if the windows get shattered. I pray a storm wind isn't directly from the south. Other than that, I just sit still till they repair whatever damage is out there and turn the power back on. Weapons? No firearms, but a few household items can be turned into weapons. I'm thinking about buying a small crossbow.

I'm a SURVIVALIST from the Cuban Crisis.

Question: Survivalist:

AI Overview

The Survivalist (2015) - IMDbA survivalist is an individual who proactively prepares for emergencies, natural disasters, or catastrophic societal collapse. They emphasize self-reliance, stockpiling essential supplies, and learning wilderness or urban living skills to ensure their long-term safety.

• Core Concepts and Philosophy:

• Prepping & Self-Reliance:

• Bugging In vs. Bugging Out:

• Skill Building:

• The Modern Survivalist:

While the label historically evoked images of armed loners, modern survivalism spans a broad spectrum of people. It encompasses everything from general emergency preparedness (like having an emergency kit for a power outage) to devoted subcultures. For those actively preparing, resources and guidance are available on official government channels like Get Prepared Canada, which provides practical steps for managing local emergencies, power outages, and severe weather...

Tricorn hats or Trump rally? Americans have July Fourth options

The United States is celebrating a jubilee: July Fourth is the 250th anniversary, or semiquincentennial, of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the foundational document for Western democracy.

Donald Trump, more than any president in the centuries since then, challenges some of the basic ideas of the document, which was written as list of complaints against the king of England.

READ THE ANNOTATED DECLARATION

A copy of the Declaration of Independence at Sotheby's auction house in New York City, on July 1, 2026.

The Declaration of Independence: Annotated 250 years later — during the Trump era

So it seems predictable that, rather than a Fourth of July celebration for Americans of all political persuasions, he’s advertising the massive fireworks display on the National Mall as “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.’”...

• Who wants a Trump rally?:

‘It’s going to be a disaster’: Concerns mount about Trump’s supersized July Fourth

"HA, ha, ha!" Trumpo the Typo is a Disaster on Legs! - 💥🦵- signed, me.

Experts warn a record-breaking display and 100-degree heat could trap toxic smoke over Washington. It’s one of several problems shadowing a celebration the president has hyped.

Temperatures near 100 degrees, a massive security apparatus and potentially dangerous plumes of smoke from a record-breaking fireworks display are escalating concerns around the July Fourth celebration on the National Mall — an event that President Donald Trump has already politicized as “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all.”

With Saturday’s celebration days away, the production company building out the physical apparatus for the country’s marquee 250th anniversary event was still actively recruiting professional help for crowd management assistance on Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the company’s planning, who, like others interviewed for this piece, was granted anonymity to address a topic they were not authorized to speak about.

Multiple sources familiar with the production of the event expressed concern to MS NOW that the same organizers behind The Great American State Fair, which has drawn markedly small crowds, are also producing the July Fourth celebration, an event that happens annually but usually without the security measures required because of the president’s attendance...

What's behind all the wild weather in Canada this summer?

Canadians across the country suffering through different forms of extreme weather

Zoom in on nearly any part of Canada this summer and you're likely to find people suffering from various forms of extreme weather. Intense storms in Western Canada have caused severe flooding, particularly in Manitoba. Parts of Ontario, Quebec and B.C. have been under heat waves and thunderstorm watches, while the North has been plagued by wildfires — and that's a non-exhaustive list.

Just this week, a storm ripped apart a house in southwest Winnipeg, tearing down fences and throwing barbecues across yards. Kingston, Ont., was briefly under a tornado warning on Tuesday, while Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa were cancelled amid thunderstorms and flooding.

Happy sunshiny day, all! With the birds twitering in the trees and a gentle breeze a ruflin' my hair, so refreshing sitting there at the patio table in my green space, with my coffee, the steam rising from my cup as I watched the early sunrise, first a reddish glow, then orange, yellow, as it comes over the treetops.

Well, at least we know we made it to another day and the world is still in one piece, so we should be grateful that we, the people of Canada, are still free souls to make our own choices. I just pray we all make the right choice when the time arrives.

SYSTEM BUSTERS:

Question: Who are those who seek to bust the system, calling themselves the system busters

🔹AI Overview

"System busters" typically refer to individuals or groups who actively challenge, resist, or dismantle established institutions and societal norms. The exact identity of who uses this label depends on the context:

• Counter-Cultural Rebels & Free Thinkers: Bloggers and cultural commentators use the term to describe free thinkers or anti-establishment rebels who reject rigid societal or educational systems in favor of self-education and individualism.

• Youth & Social Services: In social work and residential child care, "system busters" (often called "system breakers") is a term used for troubled youth or adolescents whose extreme behaviors cause them to "bust" or repeatedly disrupt the structured systems and group homes they are placed in.

• Business Operations: In the corporate world, the term is used in contrast to describe errors, bottlenecks, or employees who consistently break Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Business experts, such as Philip Beyer in his book System Busters: How to Stop Them in Your Business, use the phrase to highlight the chaotic elements or staff that ruin sustainable business operations.

Depending on whether the context is social reform, youth psychology, or business management, the "system" being busted and the people doing the busting represent entirely different philosophies.

US job growth slowed more than expected in June

The US economy added far fewer jobs than expected last month, with just 57,000 added in June, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday. June’s tally is a cooldown from May’s gains of 129,000 jobs and came in well below economists’ expectations for 100,000 jobs to be added.

The unemployment rate dropped to 4.2% from 4.3%. Thursday’s report showed that leisure and hospitality businesses shed 61,000 jobs last month, reflecting weaker-than-usual seasonal hiring, the BLS noted in the report.

That sector — which is closely watched as a gauge for consumer health, since it can be tied to discretionary spending — was expected to be a wild card:...

Iran warns tankers to use approved routes in Strait of Hormuz or face ‘forceful response’

The strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, has emerged as one of the top issues in negotiations to reach a permanent end to the Iran war.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s joint military command warned Thursday that all oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz must use its approved routes or face a “forceful response,” again ratcheting up tensions over a waterway crucial for international energy supplies.

The strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, has emerged as one of the top issues in negotiations to reach a permanent end to the Iran war. The statement from the Khatam al-Anbiya military command, reported by Iranian state television, comes after both U.S. and Iranian diplomats met with mediators on Wednesday in Qatar.

It wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the threat from Iran. However, the U.S. military’s Central Command had put out a statement about having a meeting with officials from Mideast nations in Bahrain that said “leaders underscored their shared commitment to the free flow of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz.”...

Hi everyone, it's another brilliantly sunny day here, a little on the humid side. Might have to turn on the A/C when the sun is higher and begins heating the building's exterior. With the drapes down and our apartment-sized AC, it does quite well keeping a comfortable temperature. Uses a lot less hydro than the large ones and no water dripping like those large A/C window hogs that leave water all over the balcony! Blue mold! NEH!

Now, if I could jury-rig some apparatus to collect and distribute the A/C water to the outside plants. That would be a good invention, but A/C water kills plants 🪾 🤨 I have seen myself at the homestead, back in the seventies; one time it got so hot I made a makeshift air conditioner. First, you need a freezer to keep making ice cubes to fill the bucket, and then I used a fan to blow on the bucket. It worked, but you had to sit close to it. Give me some tools, and I still like inventing makeshift stuff.

Crowd size gripes, state fair troubles: The problems of an America 250 celebration tied to Trump

President Donald Trump has billed his July Fourth rally on the National Mall as a culmination of the “most unforgettable birthday party any country has ever seen.” But inside his White House, there’s growing angst over how many people will actually show up to celebrate.

The lackluster attendance for Trump’s speech on the mall last week — a fact that has infuriated the president behind the scenes — has sparked fears of a similarly disappointing turnout when he headlines an Independence Day celebration, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. He has teased the event as one of the most consequential moments of his presidency.

The high-profile address follows days of scattered crowds and setbacks at the “Great American State Fair” that’s taken over the iconic two-mile stretch of downtown Washington, DC. And with tightened security measures, triple-digit heat and a schedule set to run well into Saturday night, White House officials are already bracing for an underwhelming showing.

The authoritarian power play happening at the Supreme Court

While many view decisions simply as wins or losses for the president, a broader trend has taken hold, with the justices appropriating power to the court.

While many are tracking Supreme Court rulings as wins or losses for President Donald Trump, what they should be watching is a broader and more disturbing trend: For several years, and at an accelerating pace this term, the Supreme Court has been seizing power for itself — from the lower courts, from Congress and from the voters. Whichever way it rules for Trump, the court always rules for itself. The Supreme Court, the one branch of government that can’t be voted out, answerable to no one, is making itself the branch that rules all others.

This is Supreme Court authoritarianism, built to outlast any president.

Start with the ruling on birthright citizenship. When Trump loses (though barely; three justices were ready to deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil) most court-watchers exhale — and miss the danger already taking hold: a high court wresting power from the courts beneath it and the supposedly co-equal branches beside it...

Russia, one of the world's biggest oil exporters, moves to import fuel as drone strikes squeeze supply

Fuel restrictions have been reported in dozens of Russian regions

As video flooded social media platforms over the weekend showing long lines at Russian gas stations — and even fights breaking out in parking lots among frustrated drivers — President Vladimir Putin tried to calm concerns on Sunday and quell panic-buying by insisting that shortages triggered by weeks of Ukrainian strikes weren't critical.

But the steps the Russian government is taking reveal the depth of the crisis. It has already banned exports of gasoline and jet fuel, and on Tuesday, the Kremlin confirmed it is looking at importing oil products from other countries. "If agreements can be reached at acceptable price points, then [imports] will move forward," said Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, in a call with journalists.

"A dangerous bluff": Carney warns that Alberta separation would bring "years of uncertainty"

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held a wide-ranging news conference in Ottawa Thursday to mark the end of the parliamentary sitting that wrapped up last week, and answered a question about the Alberta separation referendum.

"Canada is worth fighting for. Stand up and be counted, that we are stronger together," he said, adding that the Alberta separation referendum is a "real referendum" and "a dangerous bluff."

Taking from the Brexit experience, he said that the world "saw firsthand what happens, what gets sold in these referendums; that everything's going to be easy," but "at the very minimum it's years of uncertainty."

Morning everyone, and I pray that today is a brighter, more promising day than yesterday, and may tomorrow be better than today. There you go, how's that for a greeting? - 😄🙏 It was supposed to be sunny today and over 100° F - pop goes the thermometer 🌡️💥 if it gets sunny! But right now, it's overcast and around 80°F. It's quite likely going to be an air-conditioned day for the second time this year. The first heat wave we had was those two nice days we had back at the beginning of June.

During the last couple of years, we have been shortchanged by about three months of what used to be nice, mild, seasonable weather from April through June. Now, it feels like early April from the first of April to the last day of June. That's not normal.

Still, we should be grateful that all we have is a little messup with the temperatures and wet weather here, when south and west of us, severe droughts and wildfires have plagued the northern half of that area while tornadoes and floods destroyed large portions of the south. Recalling the past 70 years of my life, we had some wildfires and tornadoes, a few hurricanes a year in the Maririme Provinces, the seasonal flooding of the Red River, possibly a few more localized floods, droughts on the Prairies, but nothing like it is today.

It seems there is a pattern of wildfires and drought in one state or province, and flooding in the next, year after year. The same pattern? The earthquake in Venezuela, climatological calamities of Biblical proportions? How about the *Hunga Tonga–Hunga* eruption being the most powerful volcanic eruption globally in the 21st century? Consider all the new strains of viruses rearing their ugly heads, threatening to put the human race out of existence.

Are these some of the prophecies of the Apocalypse? To me, these would certainly match some of the occurrences foretold in the Book of Revelation. Biblical proportions compared to the past years that I recollect. So what's next? Natural or human catastrophe? Take it or leave it, these are the observations of an 80-year-old who's still got all her beens.

Supreme Court approves state sports bans for transgender women and girls

More than half the states in the country have restricted transgender women and girls from playing women’s and girls’ sports.

The Supreme Court approved state bans on transgender women and girls in sports, siding with Idaho and West Virginia in cases that affect bans in more than half the states around the country.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the court that under federal law and the Constitution, schools can “maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females.” The Trump appointee wrote that schools can “determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports

based on biological sex.”

Kavanaugh noted the court wasn’t deciding the separate question of whether schools can allow “biological males who identify as female to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams.” He said that question is currently being litigated in the lower courts. So that issue could be addressed by the court in the future...

Thousands are now Canadians under new citizenship law. Half of them are Americans

Sharp increase in applications after court required Ottawa to change rules

Thousands of people around the world have received Canadian citizenship certificates as a result of a change late last year to federal law.

Half of them Americans, CBC News has learned.

In the first three months since the change, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued proof of citizenship certificates to 4,075 people under citizenship by descent provisions in Bill C-3.

The law allows people living in other countries who can trace their lineage from Canadian ancestors to qualify for Canadian citizenship...

Middlemiss said a lot of the inquiries are prompted by the current political context in the U.S.

NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

Great Spirit bless 🙏

I do pray and take time for meditation outside in my Green Space, especially on such sunny summer mornings. I begin by meditating on the welfare of our sisters and brothers, the victims of the insanity south of us. We have our problems in Canada to deal with, meditate on, and then act on them in whatever capacity we can. Be wary! Fight and resist the spread of that same disease and venom from infiltrating Canada from the south of our border.

VIVE LA RESISTANCE!

And AMEN! 🙏

It was a perfect morning to be sitting out there in my Green Space in my nightie, in the botanical garden of artificial plants I have attached all around the railing and at the end of the balcony. No one can see me from next door or from below, hiding in my greenery. PRIVACY! I don't need any "shugs" watching me sitting on my balcony in less-than-casual dress on the balcony, which is now transformed into a tree house 🏡🌳🦜

Well, that's about all I have coming from the Newsroom for now for today. Let us move on to the Discussion of the Day.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Former President Joe Biden on Trump: "It's not just his vanity projects...putting his name on the Kennedy Center, building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Whoa, what a loser." Full video here:

Joe Biden on Trump: "What a loser."

I have been sharing the same message since the beginning of Trumpo The Typo's F'n NAZI Regime.

✊☮️VIVE LA RESISTANCE☮️✊

What's happening in America? Has everyone lost their backbones after the Treaty of Paris (1783), May 8, 1945 (V-E Day), September 2, 1945 (V-J Day), and the U.S. exit from Vietnam (1973), the exit from Afghanistan (2021), fighting revolts, slavery, Communism, and NAZIism, and any other enemies of democracy?*_ WHAT THE F. MAN????

There is another belief I have been proclaiming since I began the Tree House News. The Tree House News went through a few different iterations before settling on this one. Originally, I started on Facebook as the Fairy Lady for my handle about, oh my goodness, at least 25 years ago, if not more. I began in Yahoo Groups, playing Farm Town, not certain when. I lost track of how many years after hanging around this place for maybe 20 years.

It's a world full of loons and Dunce Cadets running the show. Does it make you question the sanity of existence here on this plane, which some classify as reality, because they can see, touch, and perceive it as solid or made of matter? And what is MATTER? Matter is made up of molecules; when all matter = molecules broken down to its atoms, which would mean matter is the product of energy, that's reality.

Question: What is ONENESS OF THE UNIVERSE

🔹AI Overview

The oneness of the universe is the philosophical and spiritual concept that all things are fundamentally interconnected, sharing a unified source, consciousness, or underlying reality. It suggests that apparent divisions and separations are illusions, and that every entity—from the smallest particle to vast galaxies—is a part of an infinite, single whole.

Supreme Court denies review in one of Trump’s E. Jean Carroll appeals

The Supreme Court declined to review President Donald Trump’s appeal in one of the cases in which writer E. Jean Carroll won a multimillion-dollar jury award against him.

The court’s action Monday concerned the $5 million in damages awarded by a New York jury that found the president abused and defamed Carroll, who had accused him of sexually assaulting her decades ago in the dressing room of a luxury department store.

The president argued that his appeal presented important legal issues regarding evidence. He complained that the trial judge wrongly allowed, among other things, the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about grabbing women by their genitals...

As winds of change blow toward Cuba, how will Havana chart a path forward?

U.S. involvement likely in whatever happens next, observers say

Six months into a tumultuous year-to-date for Cuba, the winds of change are aggressively blowing across the Straits of Florida, toward the island nation.

The country is under relentless pressure from its neighbour to the north, via an onslaught of U.S. sanctions that have hampered Cuba's ability to import fuel, to manage its affairs and to maintain its independence.

Sanctions have touched the lives of the very top members of the Cuban government, as well as those of ordinary citizens living with the consequences of what's unfolding between Washington and Havana...

Family of teen fatally injured on Quebec ski lift grieves a life that 'shouldn't be over'

Megan Bell, 13, died in February four days after a school field trip to Centre Vorlage

When Jenni Bell looks out her kitchen window, she sees the backyard swing her daughter Megan treasured as one of her happy places. Other kids might have outgrown it, but Megan, even at 13, was different. All year long, whenever she was worried about an upcoming school project "or whatever was happening in her teen world," Megan would hop on her swing and instantly be all smiles, Jenni recalls.

But ever since a school field trip to a ski hill four months ago turned into a nightmare — one witnessed by many members of Megan's school community, including some of her closest friends — the swing sits unused, and the lives of Megan's mother, father and 15-year-old brother have become forever divided into "before and after," Jenni says...

• A life still unfolding:
• 'A very heavy day':
• The investigations:
