Hi! It was a spectacular sunrise 🌄 here at the Tree House 🏡this morning, with the first light streaming in through the living room window to my left, then behind me through the sliding glass doors ⬅️🖼️➡️ at the kitchen table 𓊳 as I sip on my morning coffee☕️


I don't belong to any club, church meeting hall, or secret society. I'm a spiritual being having a human experience. If there were such a thing as secret societies, how come they're not so secret, like Area 51 and under the Pentagon, which even the president is not privy to? How about other research labs no one knows about? A change of regime ain't gonna change the fact we know what we know; that's an earthly problem that needs sortin' out. Part of the evolutionary process, and I mean a little more evolutionary in the grey matter and heart part of dem dere humons 👽🛸


G-d = Consciousness: Or as some say, the G-d Consciousness, I believe that's a good one too, and I will come back on that topic another time. There had to be consciousness. An awareness of its own existence is necessary for anything to even be conceived before its creation. Like science, I agree that life didn't happen by chance. Life is too complex to be a matter of chance. God doesn't play dice with the universe, as Einstein said. Before Creation? There was infinity; 'define infinity.'

Question: Infinity


🔹AI Overview

Infinity is a mathematical and philosophical concept that describes something endless, limitless, or without any bounds.

In the beginning, there was chaos; then awareness said, "Let there be light," and order emerged from the chaos. No matter how far one digs into this field of study, as Einstein called it, the SPIOZA.

Putting science, spirituality, and nature as one.


Academically, this is my personal way to describe G-d. I see G-d as a hologram, and everything that makes up G-d or the Universe. Life on this one planet is like a tiny dust mote in a beam of a multitude of suns' rays in space, or just a pixel in the picture that makes up the entire universe.

The main philosophy of Baruch Spinoza is a radical form of pantheism and monism, which asserts that God and Nature are one single, infinite substance.


TODAYS DISCUSSION:

QUESTION ABOUT LIFE


Question: Science describing life by chance or planned?


🔹AI Overview

Modern science describes life as arising and evolving neither purely by blind chance nor by a predetermined plan, but rather through a combination of natural laws and randomness.


Can nature evolve? It would have to follow natural laws already set for the evolutionary process, wouldn't it? Nature's first law is self-preservation, 'Ins. which goes all the way down to the genetic level, meaning that every living thing has a basic, natural instinct to protect its own life and survive above all else.'


Nature's first law of self-preservation, to me, is that of adapting and evolving is the natural law for all living things, no matter where in the universe.


National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov)

Because science relies entirely on measurable, empirical evidence, it cannot test for or prove a supernatural "plan" or an intentional creator. Instead, the scientific consensus explains the complexity of life using a third category: self-organizing mechanisms driven by physical laws...

I can see that someday science, spirituality, and nature will come closer together. The light will fuse into a more detailed image of a larger section of what makes up true reality🌌

Iran-backed Houthis capture key island in vital waterway

Iran-backed rebels in Yemen captured the strategic Perim Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Friday, two Yemeni government sources told CNN, potentially expanding Tehran’s influence over another key global shipping route.


A day earlier, the Houthi group captured the port town of Mocha as it sought to take control of the country’s Red Sea coast. The news sent shockwaves worldwide over the possible impact on global shipping and oil prices, as well as the risk of opening a new front in the US-Iran war.


Bab al-Mandeb is a chokepoint linking Asia and Europe via the Red Sea and Suez Canal...

The 4 lessons America has unlearned from 9/11

The U.S. launched wars and major reforms in the wake of the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Twenty-five years later, the country has already walked away from many of those painful lessons.


A quarter century after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people on American soil, the United States is quietly scaling back and redirecting parts of the system it developed in response — unlearning key lessons from the assault and the costly response that followed.


The counterterrorism apparatus has been thinned. Alliances like NATO that proved their worth in Afghanistan have been weakened at a moment when the U.S. faces the toughest security picture since World War II. Ill-defined Middle East entanglements persist. And the intelligence architecture designed to stop the next attack is — by the assessment of people who helped build it — once again struggling to connect the dots in an evolving threat picture.


None of that was inevitable


The 9/11 attacks drove the largest reorganization of the federal government since the 1947 National Security Act, a two-decade global war on terror...

  • America’s alliances are not optional:

Why isn't Canada blocking the Welland Canal? Other trade war questions answered

CBC News answers your questions about export taxes, sales bans and toilet paper


Reading through the emails that readers send to CBC News, one gets the impression they don't want just "elbows up" in the Canada-U.S. trade war, but also sticks, knees, skates and whatever else might be lying around.


One of the most common questions is some variation of, "Why isn't Canada doing X?" — where X is a tactic or tariff the reader supposes will hit the U.S. where it hurts. Here's a look at some of those suggestions and what key players or observers have had to say about them.

How big and small grocery stores are preparing for tariffs to hit shelves

Grocery aisles will change in the coming weeks as the impacts of tariffs on some American goods take effect


Canadian grocery aisles will change in the coming weeks as the impacts of tariffs on some American goods take effect. Stores across Canada will manage tariff price increases differently, with factors like supplier contracts, wholesale capacity and consumer preferences impacting what will be stocked.


Some major retailers, like Loblaw, will denote tariffed products with a "T" sign. Others, like the Salmon Arm, B.C.-based Askews, are choosing to offer even more Canadian-made or internationally-imported alternatives to American goods.


"We're not, limited to dealing with one large wholesaler," she said.

Good mornin' all! Well, it's a sunny, comfortable morning 🌅. The forecast is calling for five consecutive days of sun ☀️ and ⛅️, with temps between 76°F and 81°F and mid-teens at night; lots of crickets 🦗 and katydids ;𓆦; at night with these mild temperatures. I'm going to miss these pleasant days and the music of nature's symphony through the night. It's been cut way too short, considering real summer didn't start until... I think it's the beginning of July. The heavy rain and flooding came after that.


Before then, it was grey clouds every day, rain, and cool temps, ya know! You expect that in late March and April, in the Vancouver area, but not in July in southern Ontario. The cool, wet air was so pervasive that I began to wonder if I would be wearing woolen socks all summer! Our climate is hospitable, usually temperate under normal circumstances; that is why the Niagara Peninsula is the best farmland in Ontario for orchard fruits, grapes, and vegetables, and a major contributor to feeding Canada.

AI Overview

While the Niagara Peninsula features some of Canada’s most productive and irreplaceable agricultural land...


The last couple of years were a little dry but not overly warm summers, then suddenly a very hot, humid heat wave set in, and we got floods. This summer has excessive water, which is also harmful to farmland. Plants drown, too.


"SO, BOYS AND GIRLS, HEADS UP! IT'S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE!


"It's in the air! It's in the air ༄🪁༄ it's everywhere," shouts the town crier 🗣️📢 "maybe even in your underwear!" A thunderstorm ⛈️ maybe even in my underwear? (‿ˠ‿)💨🩲 he tells Mrs Vladimir, who then whispered in Mr. Eclair's ear, then to Mrs. Blair's ear, the queen of Bel Air 💃👑that she just pee-peed 💦 her underwear 🩲 while Mrs Vladimiri rides off 🏇🏼 into the sunset 🌅 in 💩🩲

DO YOU STILL BELIEVE YOU ARE A FREE AMERICAN CITIZEN? I SEE NAZISM CLOSING IN ALL AROUND AND CLOSING IN ALARMINGLY FAST ON TAKING OVER THE LEGAL PROFESSION INTO A 16TH CENTURY DUNCE CADET SYSTEM. THAT'S THE TRUTH AS I SEE IT, I DO NOT WEAR A BLINDFOLD 🥽

That's what the rest of the world is also seeing 👁️


And it's not just Trump, the defective psycho—the typo; it's everyone working to keep Project 25 going, and to be sure there are brains behind this NAZI (‿ˠ‿)🕳️ERY clever brains, but evil and dangerous, because they think like the NAZIS of the past during World War II. The REPUBLICAN PARTY is mostly, if not all, NASTY NAZIS; they don't care about anything except their wallets. THERE IS NOT A HEART ❤️ AMONG THEM, ONLY A LEATHERY BAG 💰 FILLED WITH LEAD NICKELS 🔘 IN THEIR CHEST FOR A ❤️ And that about sums it up. If you can't see that, then you're blind, stupid, demented, and a Dunce Cadet, in other words, DUMB AS A RED BRICK 🧱


SO, THE QUESTION FOR THE DAY IS: WHERE THE H**L HAS EMPATHY GONE, TOO?


I could go on about empathy for several pages, at least until the cows 🐄🐂 come home; Empathy? It comes in different forms, from the inventor, the salesman, the farmer, making sure you have food on the table, the store owner, the health care worker, the firefighter, the factory worker assembling the new products for the consumers, the average person doing their work diligently and with care because this new product could save someone's life, or imagine all the pleasure some children and adults have with all the wonderful things for us to enjoy today. I used to get giddy as a child when I went Christmas shopping with the kids; any shopping with kids was fun.


Many things are available for us to partake in. Their sole reason is not to please people, but to give them a measure of happiness to improve their morale, help them stay safe, and let them know they are members of an empathetic society. There is nothing wrong with a good comedy show, the theater, or a night on the town; it's all pleasures we should be free to enjoy. All the wonderful things people use to do to please other people, not to like today, with gratuitous violence, abuse of women and children, apocalyptic movies, dystopian survival, mortals saving the universe, and so on, make it impossible for anyone to be happy. Now, it's not just Scranton where happiness goes to die; it's all of Pennsylvania and the rest of Trumpland. Happiness goes to America to die 😢

Trump wanted a midterm convention. He got a funeral for MAGA’s majority.

Wednesday night brought exciting new programming to the fall television schedule. I am, of course, referring to the NFL’s season opener, a Super Bowl rematch between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.


The first night of the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Texas, on the other hand, lacked memorable moments. There were some surprises, to be sure. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, for instance, chose not to attend the convention — a decision more understandable after the mention of his name drew boos from the crowd. And Sen. John Fetterman’s video introduction for his fellow Pennsylvania Sen...

  • When Trump finally came out in the 9 p.m. hour, he spoke for more than 90 minutes. Like a tired old lounge singer, he tried to belt out the old hits:
  • While the aim of the convention was to charge up the base, most Americans care more about their lives, their family, their friends and futures than the fate of a politician:


And Trump’s super PAC is finally beginning to spend its hundreds of millions of dollars, while Elon Musk has reportedly committed at least $100 million toward Republican victories. Money cannot stop a wave election, but it can mitigate one.

Trade war, Alberta referendum loom large as Carney charts cabinet's year forward

New parliamentary sitting presents plenty of challenges to PM with no end in sight to escalating trade war


When Prime Minister Mark Carney gathered leaders of the world's foremost economies in Kananaskis Country's picturesque mountainside last spring for the G7, it was fresh off his election win, a wind seemingly at his back as he met with U.S. President Donald Trump to talk trade, and the threat of the province's separation from Canada was a remote hypothetical.


"Our primary focus will be on trade and trade with Canada," said Trump at the time, standing side by side with Carney in his first visit to this country since 2018. "I'm sure we can work something out."


A little more than a year later, Carney is once again holding high-level meetings in the Rocky Mountains of the province where he grew up, this time to plan the upcoming parliamentary sitting with his cabinet, fresh off three byelections where his governing Liberals cleaned up.


But there is little else in common with the optimistic outlook of 2025...

Trump lays out next moves after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs take effect


New York —

The trade war between the United States and Canada has entered a new chapter — and it’s getting uglier by the hour. Early Tuesday morning, Canada made good on its promise to impose tariffs on $20 billion worth of American goods in retaliation for the Canadian goods President Donald Trump began taxing last month.


Less than 24 hours after those levies took effect, Trump unveiled his next move to exert further pressure on Ottawa.


Now, tariffs are no longer the only weapon of choice: Trump is prepared to enact outright bans on a slew of Canadian goods. He also threatened to block the US government from purchasing Canadian-made products through a major federal procurement program unless Canada granted American companies and farmers greater access to its markets.


Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has previously vowed “dollar-for-dollar” retaliation...

Trump’s Truth Social crash out shows how ill-prepared he is for the midterms

The president’s social media meltdown exposed just how weak he feels politically.


President Donald Trump marked Labor Day, the unofficial start of the fall election season, as only he could: with a spree of bonkers social media posts that suggested, among other things, that New Mexico should be renamed “New America.” He also posted a series of artificial intelligence slop images depicting him as presiding over a hellish hi-tech autocracy with armies of robots.


His midterms strategy, if you can call what he’s doing “strategy,” is ignoring the polls that show his approval rating cratering and delving ever further into megalomaniacal fantasies of absolute power.


Between Saturday evening and Monday evening, Trump published more than 100 posts on Truth Social that included jabs at allies, egoistical boasting and a couple of posts depicting him conferring with President George Washington...

Renewed U.S.-Iran exchanges send oil price back over $100 US for first time in several weeks

In addition to attacks on the war, Iran fired missiles at base used by U.S. in Jordan


Iran said Wednesday it had attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. sank five Iranian oil tankers, in the biggest declared wave of tit-for-tat attacks on shipping by both sides since the start of the six-month-old war.


Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had responded with a ballistic missile attack on a base used by U.S. forces near Al Azraq, in eastern Jordan, and had fired on two U.S. vessels and eight oil tankers attempting ⁠to cross an area of the Strait of Hormuz that it has declared off limits.


The attacks ‌in and around the vital waterway sent the price of oil surging, with the international Brent crude benchmark breaching $100 US a barrel for the first time since July. Since the war began, oil prices have been as low as $70, reflecting since-scuppered hopes that the U.S. and Iran would agree on a plan that would allow stranded tankers to move oil out of the Persian Gulf safely...

For the prayer of the day 🙏, myself personally, I pray to the Great Spirit 🌌 to guide our entrusted leader 👨‍🦳 Mark Carney to make the right decisions and continue to guide us on the right path through this maze of catastrophic falueres and chaos that is destroying our governmental systems, like rats chewing on the wires of modern society, short circuiting and scrambling the data of our computer age system so that even our own personal devices 💻📱🖥️ can be used as psycological weapons of destruction, BEWARE! The web is like a cow pasture ෴⚘ Watch where you step! Or you may find out where the last cow 🐄 had a 💩


So, don't trust anyone on the internet unless you personally know who "THEY" are. Money scams are everywhere; they even call you personally on your home phone. Verify Verify Verify!


As for other scams, like the political stuff, it ain't difficult to answer if you're honest with yourself and listen to your inner self, your intuition, you know, unless you have no ethics, feelings, or caring. Dead inside, all that matters is self-pleasure or self-satisfaction. I know what it feels like, because I'm an EMPATH! I feel people. I don't just feel for them; I feel them from the inside out.

FEELING DEAD INSIDE CAN BE EITHER:

Question: Feeling dead inside except for feeling only self-satisfaction


Emotional Numbness:


🔹AI Overview

Feeling dead inside while only feeling self-satisfaction is often a defense mechanism where your nervous system shuts down vulnerable emotions and relies on pride or control to feel safe.


Why This Happens

  • Emotional Numbness as Armor: When life gets too stressful or painful, your brain may turn off normal feelings like sadness, grief, or excitement to protect you from being hurt.
  • The Ego's Safe Zone:

Self-satisfaction requires no vulnerability. Feeling superior, accomplished, or self-reliant lets you experience a positive emotion without risking rejection or disappointment from the outside world.

  • Living on Autopilot:

You might be treating your life like a checklist, measuring success to feel a small spike of validation while remaining completely detached from real human connection.

What You Can Do

  • Notice Without Judgment:
  • Depersonalization: "Treat your numbness like a quiet observer. Do not force yourself to feel happy or sad."
  • Look Beneath the Pride: Ask yourself if your self-satisfaction is hiding loneliness, exhaustion, or a fear of failure.
  • Talk to a Professional:

🧚‍♀️ TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡


NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS


Great Spirit bless


Hi! Well, maybe if I stand on my chair, I'll be "higher" than you; otherwise, I'm usually shorter than most. Ya know, that's part of being invisible (inconspicuous), regular-looking like everything else around me, mundane; I could blend in standing next to a telephone pole, and people would walk right by me and not see me. I don't make eye contact and make like I'm part of my surroundings; "Hee, hee, hee!" Well, it worked for me 😁 but then I noticed things in nature and other stuff that people don't seem to notice or even know are there.


It's not X-ray vision, telescopic vision, or supervision, yeah, I come from the planet Krypton 🦸‍♀️ Well, I may as well have been an alien from another planet 🪐 growing up. I couldn't communicate with others except for a few, so I was mostly a loner, living in my own world, as I mentioned earlier.


Later in life, in the early 2000s, I was in my late 50s. I came across a Yahoo Group called the Indigo Adults. I believe they were the forerunners of the social groups like the Major Social Networks we have today. This particular group, Indigo Adults, came to my mind this morning, as I sat in my Green Space with my coffee in hand, greeting the sunrise.


Many of the younger generation of that decade called themselves THE SYSTEM BUSTERS. Boy! This memory has been haunting me since this Trumpo The Typo mess has begun! I've often wondered if they weren't part of the same club we have today, the Dunce Cadet Club, or the MAGAts. I believe they were all part of the same pile of 💩 If they were, I DID MY BEST to attempt to enlighten them to a different reality,


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


THE SYSTEM BUSTERS


IT'S NOT A MATTER OF SYSTEM BUSTING, I TOLD THEM BACK THEN, IT'S A MATTER OF REFORMING THE OLD OUTDATED SYSTEM TO THE NEEDS OF 21st CENTURY SOCIETY WITH NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS, and get rid of the Corporate Thieves, they're the worst CANCER in the system. I got shot out of the group, and that was the end of the Yahoo Groups for me.


I drifted after that, doing my own blog for a while. I have many of the truths in that blog, both scientific and spiritual. It's not ordered; look through it and pick out what you want to read.


The Daily Tree House News reports are included.

Anyway, THIS IS ALL A LIE. This Orange, s--ty diapered president 💩 🧼 (‿ˠ‿) and his Dunce Cadet 🙃𓉴 regime are upsetting and tearing apart the old system that the world uses for commerce and legal intercontinental transactions, and in whose dollar? CERTAINLY NOT BLOOD 🩸 MONEY FROM A NAZI ✠︎ COUNTRY!


Be honest, have you ever heard of a NAZI country's people prospering? Of course not, the Oligarchs need to stuff their pockets with the people's money, don't you know. They come first, leaving no room for growth, health, or prosperity, or even to feed the people. It is death, torture, starvation, no housing, freezing to death, and disease. There are all kinds of proof of this in the old records from World War II. Trumpo can't change all of our historic records, no matter how many incinerators he has. THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (Ecclesiastes 1:9)


IT'S NOT HARD TO TELL WHICH IS THE DARK SIDE AND WHICH IS THE LIGHT SIDE,

Unless someone puts a lampshade over your head 👩🏮 and the Orange Trumpo The Typo in 💩 🧼 is trying awful hard to keep pulling down on the lampshade so you can't see.


_*Indigo Adults? Of the hundreds of members present at the time, I believe two individuals were truly gifted. One of them lost her farm because she made the mistake of getting cancer and later passed away, unnecessarily, just because she couldn't afford health insurance and had no cash. In AMERICA, IN A CIVILIZED COUNTRY, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE!


I do believe there are new children on the block, and I believe no one knows who they are yet. Not enough people who are aware yet to organize. It's unfortunate that sometimes it takes one hell of a big bang 💥to wake people up. "WE'RE NO LONGER IN KANSAS, TOTO!"


Think about it, folks, Nobody is gonna come to save your butt unless you get off of yours and begin caring for others around you. IT IS EMPATHY THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO KILL, DON'T YOY SEE!


Don't forget the first laws governing a society were written by the Five Nations of the Iroquois, the Iroquois Constitution. If that isn't the most appropriate way to run a country, by the rules written by the country's own first Native Peoples.


You can write around it and add to it to fit our modern-day system of doing things, but never change the basic laws of the United States Constitution.


They have many names, like The New Children on The Block, Indigo, Empaths, and Highly Sensitive. Out of these there is one that is scientifically viable


I'll be sitting here waiting. Thank you for visiting and reading the Tree House News 🏡

BREAKING NEWS RECAP:


Democrats might win in the midterms — but a whole new set of problems await


The left wing of the Democratic Party flourished this summer as fed-up liberals in key races across the country have eschewed traditional, more moderate candidates in favor of hard-charging progressives.


But behind the scenes, ultra-progressive House members and candidates are pushing their own party leaders to reflect more of that mood — arguing that Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and his allies are, so far, failing to grasp the demands of far-left voters who showed up in droves this summer.


Those liberals watched in alarm in recent weeks as Jeffries publicly disavowed their marquee “Medicare for All” bill while a pro-Israel Democrat was elevated to a key foreign policy role within the caucus. They also argue his allies were working to undermine a pair of progressive candidates in Michigan and California...

Inside the fight for the Democratic Party

  • A ‘shocking’ intervention in California:

Republicans seem to only call out antisemitism when it suits them politically. Elon Musk proves it.

Make no mistake: Democrats are not the only political party with an antisemitism problem.


he Democratic Party is deservedly facing pointed questions about its willingness to confront antisemitism in its own ranks. In Maine, Graham Platner easily won the Democratic Senate primary despite him having a tattoo on his chest resembling a Nazi symbol. In New York’s 13th Congressional District, voters nominated a Democrat who attended a rally the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel where attendees reportedly condoned the massacre.


And last month in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Senate while attacking Israel, demonizing the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC, contextualizing anti-Jewish violence and appearing on the campaign trail with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who has routinely employed antisemitic rhetoric. But make no mistake: Democrats are not the only political party with an antisemitism problem...

  • In short, Musk says he knows a Jew when he sees one, irrespective of how Jews define themselves.:
  • Musk is seemingly obsessed with using his platform and huge social media reach to fish for online validation and attention — and nothing gets attention on social media quite like demonizing and attacking others.:
  • Both parties prefer to point a whataboutist finger of blame for antisemitism at the other. Neither wants to look seriously at the mess in their own houses.:

No talks scheduled as Canada's counter-tariffs against U.S. set to take effect at 12:01 a.m.

Prime Minister's Office says no plans for last-minute talks as trade war escalates


Just hours before Canada is set to hit the U.S. with counter-tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of goods, the two sides have no plans to negotiate a last-minute deal.


The Prime Minister's Office confirmed to CBC News that there are no calls scheduled between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, and no plans for Canadian trade negotiators to return to the table ahead of the 12:01 a.m. Tuesday deadline. That's when the counter-tariffs are set to hit over 700 American products.
