Good morning, I pray 🙏 that you are all well, in good spirits, and blessed on this new day of January 21, 2026. Let us all pray for a better year ahead of us than the mess we went through last year, because of one ORANGE WHACK JOB 🙃 👺 🌪️ 👁️ 🔪 😵‍💫 🤣 💥 THE TERTIARY ENSYPHILETIC COCROACH 🪳 The whack jobs in CONGRESS, and the Orange Cocroach 🪳 sack of 💩 in charge of the RED BUTTON! 🔴 AMEN!

ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET A LUNATIC FASCIST NAZI TAKE OVER THE U.S. and tear down the work of hundreds of years it took to form the Constitutional Amendments, the federal laws, and other regulations that are meant to keep society fair for all? In the past ten years, the Orange Sack Of 💩 has filled the Supreme Court with justices who are ultra-right-wing, coo coo, Dunce Cadets to do his bidding, and what does America have today? With official immunity conferred by the right-wingers on the Supreme Court, America has a president who has taken the powers of a divine right king to create chaos, calamity, confusion, a disabled Congress, a shell of a government, his secret police force, and nothing for the good of the populace.

I can only see one way to end this: THE PEOPLE voted for this piece of 💩 it's up to WE, THE PEOPLE, TO TAKE ACTION. It doesn't appear like there is any other cavalry coming to the rescue. What happened to the prosecution of "Criminal Anarchy"? A decade ago, that person would have disappeared, never to be heard of again. They call that disappearing someone today. (The Men In Black) But they were the good guys compared to these masked dumbbells.😁😒

If the people only sit back and grumble and do nothing, then they deserve the 💩 head they have for a ruler. My faith and hopes for America are dwindling to nothing, or at least I need a magnifying glass in order to detect its size, a gnat's 🪲 arse. Everything is going downhill very fast. America has become like a bag of 💩 on a rocket sled 🛷💨 on greased rails, going straight to HELL 🔥 The sad truth is that a hundred years from now, America the Great will be nothing more than a child's fable in an ancient book, of a long-lost history in a future library on what once was America.

NAZI

A "Nazi" refers to a member or supporter of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), a far-right totalitarian party led by Adolf Hitler, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945, creating a fascist dictatorship built on extreme nationalism, racism (especially virulent antisemitism), anti-communism, and eugenics, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust. The ideology, known as Nazism, promoted white supremacy, Lebensraum (living space), and the persecution and extermination of Jews, Roma, and other groups.

totalitarianism, extreme nationalism, racism (especially antisemitism), militarism, executions, torture, rape... The only law is what the Big guy decides, which laws should be implemented that day, according to their mood.

It was the generation of our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents that fought against the Nazis of Germany in World War II. Millions of our soldiers, sailors, and fliers were killed, maimed, injured, or mentally and emotionally damaged in defeating the forces of Hitler and Naziism.

Today, we allow Nazis in the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and other cabinet-level departments filled with the president's toadies and ass-kissers, hoping for a piece of power. Our government is a DISGRACE TO LADY LIBERTY since it has become the home of Nazi hate and fascist ideology, the headquarters for marauders, and a den of thieves.

Trump renews demand for Greenland, but says he ‘won’t use force’

What You Need To Know

• NOW: US President Donald Trump is answering questions after addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In his speech, he doubled-down on his demand for control of Greenland, but said he “won’t use force” — his clearest statement yet ruling out the use of military might to annex the Arctic island. Trump also issued harsh criticism of Europe and touted his economic agenda.

• Greenland showdown: European officials are planning to use the forum to stage a diplomatic intervention to cool tensions over Greenland that have put the continent on edge and may now threaten the survival of NATO, three sources told CNN.

• Bessent’s appeal to Europe’s leaders: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said European countries pushing back on the US attempts to acquire Greenland should “sit down and wait” for Trump and “listen to his argument” at the forum...

'Canada lives because of the U.S.,' Trump says while jabbing Carney

Trump made remarks Wednesday at World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday Canada owes its continued existence to the United States while calling out Prime Minister Mark Carney for delivering a speech that condemned coercion by great powers. Speaking in Davos, Switzerland, where he made the case for a U.S. acquisition of Greenland, Trump said he needs the Danish territory for his proposed "golden dome," a missile defence system that could cover North America.

Trump said the dome will protect Canada due to geography and the country isn't grateful enough that such a system is in the works. Carney has been non-committal in the past about Canada participating in or paying for what Trump is floating.

Greenlanders looking for Canadian support amid U.S. threats, Governor General says

Mary Simon, a former ambassador to Denmark, says people are nervous about talk of annexation

The people of Greenland are hoping Canada has their back as they continue to face threats of annexation from the U.S., says Gov. Gen. Mary Simon. Simon, a former ambassador to Denmark and Canada’s first ambassador for Circumpolar Affairs, says she has spoken with Greenlanders who feel “uneasy” about U.S. President Donald Trump’s stated desire to make their territory part of the U.S.

“They feel that they need a lot of support from Canada in terms of making sure that they don’t stop their relationship with Denmark in any way whatsoever,” Simon told CBC News...

Did Carney just signal a massive shift in Canada's foreign policy direction?

PM said the old rules-based international order is over — and was sort of a mirage

Prime Minister Mark Carney turned some heads in Switzerland on Tuesday with his stark assessment of the current state of global affairs. Speaking at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney said that not only is the old international order over and "not coming back" — but it had been a mirage all along.

"We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim," the prime minister said...

NATO Without America: How US Military Power Compares to the Rest of the Alliance | U.S. vs NATO

What if the United States turns on NATO itself? This video breaks down a scenario that European leaders are now openly warning about: a potential U.S. attack on Greenland. Greenland is not just an Arctic island rich in minerals and strategic value. It is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO member. That means any attack would technically be an attack on the alliance...

May Great Spirit bless 🙏

May I share a little more about what I got from all those months I was deathly ill? Please take the time to read; there may be something here you can take home. This illness is not the first time; this is the second time I nearly got called away. The first time was a mental disorder, bipolar, and alcohol. PLEASE READ:

Today began as I like a new, bright, clear sunny day. So far, it's remaining clear with brilliant sunshine. Lately, that doesn't mean a whole lot. It can be sunny in the early morning, then turn cloudy with snow in the afternoon, or vice versa. January and February are nearly impossible to predict accurately for more than a few hours, let alone the next 24 hours.

Outside of getting GERD attacks now and again, which can be miserable too, I am doing fine this morning. When the GERD hits, suddenly, I get nauseated and then the bloating, it lasts a couple of minutes, then fades away, thank you Lord!

When I get those attacks, it certainly prompts me into praying that I don't go through what I did before. I know that if I get that sick again too soon, I will not make it through another bout. I do not have the full recovery strength to fight off anything else right now. Nothing else I can do except stay away from places that are likely to be contaminated with viruses, like small stores, tight office spaces, or doctors' waiting rooms. Losing my top teeth didn't help. If I wish to recover sooner, I need to get my upper dentures at least so I can eat solid food, which would help.

As it is, my stomach is still tenuous; I'm lucky it survived all the battering it received from appendicitis, two killer flus, two Covid-19s, the toxins from infected teeth, antibiotics, and the GERD, all at once. Don't ask me how long I will live; I only know I could not go on with the 24/7 nausea and pain. It was hell, and I lost 14 pounds. I guess that's what you call a survivor.

So now I live vigilantly one day at a time, and I thank the Great Spirit for each day I am well. It's by the grace of the Great Spirit that I feel well. As I think back, I would have left this world that day, sitting slumped over on the can, at the weakest point in my life. I paid for my sins. OK, enough of that.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

NATO

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) safeguards the freedom and security of its 32 North American and European members through political and military cooperation, centered on collective defense, where an attack on one ally is an attack on all.

Just what the HELL is NATO doing, anyway? They seem to be just sitting on their f'ng arse on their hands with a piece of duct tape stuck across their lips, with Putin, as Kink of the universe, and Trumpo The Typo second in command, and Netanyahu in charge of negotiations, and dictating to NATO MEMBERS. The Closet Of Do Nothings is like a gym locker full of old gym socks and smelly running shoes, just sittin' there stinkin'. At least that's the way it feels to me.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA DO THAT? They never come back with updates, just silence or reports from Trumpo The Typo and his lying Dunce Cadets. What I call an air sandwich 🥪 We, the People, all around the world, will have to take the initiative and begin a new card game without the jokers in it this time.

Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House. It was a philosophy put into action by President Donald Trump but enunciated by top aide Stephen Miller.

“We live in a world, in the real world, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” Miller told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “These are the iron laws of the world that have existed since the beginning of time.” That is undoubtedly the kind of world the president has imagined ever since he stepped back into the Oval Office...

Prime Minister Mark Carney says great powers are using 'economic integration as weapons'

Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a frank assessment of how he views the world in a provocative speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, where he said the longstanding U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over and middle powers like Canada must pivot to avoiding falling prey to further "coercion" from powerful actors.

Without invoking U.S. President Donald Trump by name, Carney said "great powers" are using economic integration as "weapons."

EU chief promises 'unflinching' response to new tariffs as Trump trolls and threatens on social media

Trump shares map on social media that shows Greenland and Canada as U.S. territory

European Commission President ​Ursula von der Leyen said ​on Tuesday the EU shared concerns with the United States about Arctic security, but if President Donald Trump followed through with new tariffs based on a dispute over Greenland, the alliance's response would be "unflinching" and "united." Von der Leyen, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said the U.S. risks sending its relationship with EU allies "into a downward spiral" that would only benefit shared adversaries.

Trump announced planned tariffs this weekend on eight countries that sent small numbers of ‍military personnel to Greenland last week, following the U.S. president's repeated statements that he wanted to take over Denmark's vast Arctic island. The Trump administration has talked about acquiring Greenland, and some White House officials have stated that military options were not being ruled out to seize the island...

I never gave beavers much thought, except when I worked at the dynamite factory in my 20s. I bought a box of dynamite 🧨 to blow up the beaver dams in a channel that connects two lakes. Ya gits this loud, explosive sound that makes your eardrums ring, then there is this big burst of water, logs, sticks, stones, everything from the dam flying up end over end, then coming back down like a monsoon. I could hear the thumping from the pieces of debris coming back down, maybe even beavers. 🦫 🥹

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

One Day In Heaven:

Review:

Mankind began 2000 years ago? That's part of the Bible. I can't make any sense of the numbers they use in that part of the Bible. The world is a lot older than 6000 years, as recorded in the Bible. The world is estimated to be around 6,000 years old, a timeline popularized by Archbishop James Ussher, who calculated creation around 4000 BC

Many religious scholars and most scientists believe this literal reading is not the only interpretation, pointing to vast scientific evidence for an Earth billions of years old, with some biblical interpretations suggesting the Book of Genesis "days" might represent long epochs rather than 24-hour periods.

The Bible concept of "one day in heaven" often refers to 2 Peter 3:8, which states, "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day," illustrating God's timelessness.

So that pretty well sums it up: science and the Bible are not really that far apart—especially the Kabbalah and its codes. The codes tell more than the characters themselves, which not only have a word value but also a mathematical expression within the character. This is something you should be prepared for as you research the creation of the universe; it is never what it seems to describe pictorially.

Example: Let's say the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old to reach the state it is in today. How far up from the center of where the Big Bang was are we now? Let us say about halfway between the universe's center and its outer edge. We are roughly halfway between the galactic center and the edge, orbiting the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, at the core.

If half the total age of the universe, roughly 42.5 billion years, we wouldn't be able to see or detect either end from where we are. What's in the past towards the origin of the Big Bang, and what's in the future closer to the outer edge, only the original thought that thought this up would know?

I know I have mentioned this topic piecemeal on numerous other occasions, but this morning I thought I would assemble it as much as I possibly can in one sitting. I have learned through science about the universe, time/space, the Quanta, & infinity, and about G-d's creation in The Bible and its own mention of infinity, as described in the Book of Genesis and other ancient scriptures. Again, much more is described in detail in the Hebrew Kabbalah.

Thank you, Dear Reader, for reading the Tree House News.

The Tree House News prefers to have no axe to grind, to pick sides, or to show a political preference. The Tree House News is a "Wake Up Call!" I cheer for the Earth Angel, the heroes, the ones who speak and feel what they say from their hearts, FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. The heart doesn't lie.

Do you cheer for some bullies beating and killing unarmed demonstrators or any other innocent citizens as being fair and just? I personally think all of you who agree with that need a F'ng SHRINK, and I doubt that even an army of priests, rabbis, imams, and other religious guides and leaders could help you! Not to mention that you would need several landfill sites to bury your sins. I only pray that your inner consciousness of knowing what is right or wrong suddenly wakes up, and you spill your red wine all over your new white satin dress.

European Union leaders will ​convene in Brussels on Thursday for an ​emergency summit following U.S. President ⁠Donald Trump's ‍threats ⁠to ​impose new tariffs on several EU ⁠countries over his demand ‍to acquire Greenland, a European Union spokesperson ⁠said Monday.

Starmer said the alliance with the United States had provided security and prosperity to Britain for ​decades, and said he would work to maintain those strong ties and defuse the tensions around Greenland, which have thrown the future of NATO into doubt.

Carney weighs sending soldiers to Greenland for military exercises with NATO allies: sources

Trump threatening tariffs on European nations who oppose U.S. controlling Greenland

Prime Minister Mark Carney is considering sending soldiers to Greenland for military exercises with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens tariffs on European nations unless they let him purchase and control the semiautonomous island. Two senior Canadian officials have told CBC News that a set of contingency plans were drawn up last week and presented to the federal government.

A Royal Canadian Air Force contingent is already taking part in a pre-planned NORAD exercise in Greenland, but the prime minister is weighing whether to send additional forces as part of sovereignty exercises the Danes are planning, which could include drills to protect the Arctic island's critical infrastructure...

Nebuchadnezzar II was the powerful king of Babylon (605-562 BCE), famous for conquering Jerusalem, destroying the First Temple, and initiating the Babylonian Exile of the Jewish people, acting as God's instrument for judgment. He's a key figure in the Book of Daniel, where he struggles with pride, experiences a dream interpreted by Daniel, suffers a period of madness where he lives like an animal, and ultimately humbles himself before the God of Israel, acknowledging His power.*_

Trump doesn’t understand why his approval rating is underwater (and it is, on every issue, in a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS and released Friday). “I wish you could explain to me what the hell’s going on with the mind of the public,” he told House Republicans in a speech earlier this month...

A stunned Europe finally wakes up to Trump’s Greenland threat

It’s not often that Europe speaks with one voice – or responds with such urgency. But US President Donald Trump’s announcement Saturday of sanctions against several European countries that reject any US claim to Greenland, a Danish territory, was one of those moments.

An emergency meeting of EU ambassadors will take place in Brussels on Sunday in response to Trump’s threat, which he made after an estimate quarter of the population of Greenland’s capital Nuuk joined protests against any potential annexation. Across the continent, among allies that usually tread carefully in responding to utterances from the White House, the response was immediate and emphatic, and recognized an existential threat to the transatlantic alliance.

French President Emmanuel Macron, who has tried to cultivate a good personal relationship with Trump, described the threat of tariffs as “unacceptable

The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota, according to a Trump administration source, as state officials have also mobilized the National Guard. Having troops on standby does not mean a deployment is imminent or guaranteed, the Trump administration source said. ABC News first reported the preparations for a possible deployment.

Two battalions from the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division are on prepare-to-deploy orders in Minnesota, according to a US defense official. It is unclear what tasks they would take on, though the official said it could include crowd control or support for law enforcement, similar to the role active-duty forces played in Los Angeles last summer.

CANADIAN NEWS:

Nuclear fusion seems hot right now — but how close is fusion power?

Investments and fusion startups have ramped up, but challenges remain

Nuclear fusion milestones from Canada's General Fusion and China's EAST reactor have caused a buzz over this potentially limitless, clean energy source becoming a reality amid rising power demand from AI and electrification. Meanwhile, new fusion startups have been popping up around the world and have drawn billions in private investment. Here's a closer look at nuclear fusion and where its development is in Canada and the world.

What is Nuclear Fusion?

Nuclear fusion has been researched for decades as a way of producing clean, safe, limitless energy from an abundant source. Hydrogen, the fuel for that reaction, is widely available in water on Earth. And unlike the reactions in traditional nuclear reactors, which split atoms of radioactive elements such as uranium, fusion reactions don't generate radioactive waste. But commercial nuclear fusion reactors are not yet available.

U.S. and NATO have a long history of not being serious about Greenland. That's about to change

Once seen as a risk of provoking Putin, the alliance now has the Arctic in focus

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's don't-poke-the-bear approach to dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump was on full display Monday as he threaded his way around questions about the possible introduction of European troops in Greenland.

There were reports over the weekend that a group of countries — led by the U.K. and Germany — are discussing a military presence on the Arctic island as a hedge against American annexation. Trump's approach of doing something about Greenland "whether they like it or not" and threats of using military force against the semi-autonomous Danish territory — whether it breaks NATO or not — have turned the spotlight on issues that both the alliance and United States have long overlooked...

Some Greenlanders express outrage over Trump's threats. But not all are concerned

Analysis Greenland has become the island that could break NATO
