May Great Spirit bless 🙏


Good morning, all! And it is a beautiful, typical, sunny springtime morning here at the Tree House News Central. 🏡📰 It's wonderfully warm out there, as it should be for this time of year. I am looking forward to going out and playing with my plants in my Green Space on the balcony this afternoon. This day is more like it, the kind of weather for walking in the park again🌞🌳🏞️🍃 There is not much new to report from the Newsroom this morning; all is well, so let us move on to the Discussion of the Day.

Question: Who is doing the converting of the American political landscape toward authoritarianism? It's not Trump himself

Trump is too stupid.


🔹AI Overview

The shift toward authoritarianism is driven by a broad coalition of right-wing think tanks, conservative legal organizations, and influential operatives. Rather than originating with the president himself, this conversion is engineered by organizations like The Heritage Foundation, the America First Policy Institute, and key ideologues such as Russell Vought and Stephen Miller.


The primary architects orchestrating this shift include:


  • The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025:
  • Russell Vought:
  • Stephen Miller:
  • The Federalist Society:
  • Influential Megadonors and Media Figures:


It's a Rich Man's World

NOTE: In this little newsblog, Tree House News, I do my best to deliver the facts as closely as possible, using AI for the latest reports. I do my best to point out the possible underlying deceit and lying we see in the news on the airwaves almost daily. Lied to by the rich, THE RICH AND POWERFUL WHO WILL TURN THIS COUNTRY INTO A THIRD WORLD 💩🕳️COUNTRY, unless we, the people, wake the "F. up!" and do all we can do to derail their plans and keep the Constitution alive at all costs.


Even if it means we have to DEFEND AND PROTECT, but without doing it to the same extremes as they do, like mad bulls breaking into a china shop, smashing and trashing everything. The ignorant pea-brained "Dunce Brigade" is what I call them; all who call themselves Republicans are viper snakes in the grass, they are deranged. I do pray that after the elections, they get so badly beaten that they as a party will be DISOLVED INTO THE VACUUM OF NON-EXISTENCE. A bunch of insignificant little specks of dust floating in the ether of the infinite cosmos.


I am 80 years old, and I ain't about to change my ways, beliefs, or what I have learned about what's right or wrong. Both in theology and in quantum physics, the Quanta. I will not and refuse to change unless proven wrong. NOBODY IS GOING TO DICTATE TO ME WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG. I consider myself sufficiently intelligent to grapple with the issues we confront. I am largely self-educated, having spent days in libraries researching and seeking the truth about a wide range of topics that directly affect our lives. I have spent much time reading many books in libraries, and now that I have AI and Google Search to help me locate source material much faster, it's easier to get to the bottom of something. AI has its benefits.


Well, that pretty well wraps the discussion of the day. Thank you for dropping by to read the Tree House News.

The shooting finally stopped. Then came everything else

Few ever see how a community carries on after a deadly school shooting. Survivors of last year's attack on a Minneapolis Catholic school want you to know: In class and at home, the trauma colors everything


MINNEAPOLIS — Near the end of a hall on the second floor of a red brick schoolhouse, third graders cozy up to read. Some pull on weighted blankets. A few take off their shoes. A handful settle under desks to plow through popular comics "Dog Man" and "Big Nate," or the series "I Survived," in which fictional children narrate their courage through disasters from Pompeii to Pearl Harbor.


After what happened to this school's 300 or so students just three days into this academic year, their teacher considered purging her classroom of almost every book. Nonfiction is nothing if not a buffet of bombs and blood. Even made-up stories feature characters who die, often shot by a gun.


But you can't filter their ordeal for them, Darcie Mullinax learned early from the trauma experts who came to this century-old private school to help everyone learn how to sleep again, how to think again, how to consider what might come next...

National Mall prayer event sparks concern about Trump administration eroding the wall between church and state


An all-day prayer event on the National Mall on Sunday — backed by the White House through a mix of taxpayer funds and private donations — is the most recent flashpoint in the Trump administration blurring separation of church and state.


The event, dubbed “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,” is part of a series of celebrations commemorating America’s 250th birthday, and is expected to feature remarks from government officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson and video messages from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The event will bring together faith leaders, public officials and musicians to reflect and worship ahead of the anniversary of the nation’s founding.


Sunday’s event is the latest in a series of faith initiatives and policy moves championed by the White House that have bolstered an emphasis on Christianity in the government’s operations, culture and policy.

Pete Hegseth thinks the lawmakers who know the most about the military should have the least to say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new attempt to mute his nemesis Sen. Mark Kelly is part of the Pentagon’s larger effort to muzzle all of us military retirees, especially those with legislative power.


It is ironic as well as troubling that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently went on X to accuse Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a decorated naval aviator who flew combat missions and served as a NASA astronaut, of improperly sharing privileged military information on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.


It’s ironic because Hegseth himself revealed classified information and compromised operational security last year by sharing sensitive targeting information with a journalist, as well as his wife and brother, over Signal chats regarding a U.S. bombing raid in Yemen. Kelly, on the other hand, in his “Face the Nation” appearance, merely repeated the general concern that U.S. weapons stores are being depleted due to the Iran war. Not only has that concern been reported in the media for weeks, but it has also been discussed with the defense secretary in open congressional hearings.


• The “Signal Gate” defense secretary should not be insinuating that Kelly’s public comments violated any oath Kelly made,..

It is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to silence its most expert critics.

Is religion coming back into fashion in America? If that is so, here are a few logical and maybe not-so-logical reasons for that possibility.


There is no doubt that a wave of change is coming, and I doubt that America will just roll over and say, "We can't wait to be Nazi Americans! And unless the angels really do come down to Earth to save us, I don't think there is any cavalry coming to our rescue this time. We will have to fend for ourselves. It's already too late for the older generation to fix things; they will not survive the harsh environment we are about to confront. We will pass away, and it will be up to the younger generation to arrange, reorganize, and fix their world and their affairs.


*CAN YOU, DESCENDANTS OF THE BABY BOOMERS, FIX AMERICA AND THE WORLD BETTER THAN WE DID?*


_*As fall gets closer, disease, wars, civil wars, unrest, rioting, despair everywhere, and more unemployed people will be on the streets living in tents. It's not going to be a nice change, but a necessary one if you wish to return to a life of sanity and purpose. RIGHT NOW, there is no sanity or rules of law that work. Trump has turned a nation of laws and customary ways of doing business into a subplot of Star Wars in which he is Jabba the Hutt, the Oval Office is the Cantina from which he rules, and America is all that he surveys.*_


Religion is 'back in fashion' in America. Here's why

When the Rev. Fred Robinson saw the small, brick church he was asked to lead in suburban Atlanta, he couldn't help but be excited.


The parking lot had sinkholes; the bathroom flooring had rotted away, and the basement was filled with so much mold that Robinson had to don gloves and goggles just to enter it. The church had only nine members, $450 in the bank, and was on the verge of closing.


Robinson's new church was in such a dire condition because the Covid-19 pandemic had slammed into it like a meteorite. It halted in-person worship, and as members gradually drifted away, the building's condition deteriorated because there were no longer any staff or members to maintain it.


But where some saw a crisis, Robinson saw opportunity. He was looking for a church that was hungry for change. Four years later, the church's membership has surged, its message has been refined, and those sinkholes were filled when the sanctuary was renovated.


"New people came. People started coming back," says Robinson, senior pastor of Mt. Gilead Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia...

BREAKING NEWS:


Why deportations don’t tell the whole story of Trump’s crackdown

ICE arrests and deportations often get most of the attention. But another side to the Trump administration’s crackdown is largely flying under the radar.


“They’ve slashed legal immigration for families. They’ve slashed legal immigration for employers. … There’s basically no category you can find that they haven’t targeted for reductions and cuts,” says David Bier of the libertarian Cato Institute, who argues this is a “radical change” – and an underreported story.


In what officials have billed as the largest mass deportation campaign in history, federal agents deployed in cities across the country became a familiar — and controversial — sight over the past year, with immigration authorities’ aggressive arrest tactics fueling fierce debate in Washington about agency funding. And actions by ICE have made frequent headlines since Trump returned to power, most recently this week with the news that a new acting director will soon assume the agency’s top job.


But Bier says there’s another story about immigration in the US that’s harder to tell, but no less significant. “You don’t see the backstory of all that’s leading up to that guy being handcuffed,” he says. Still, Bier says the way the administration handles legal immigration is “intimately connected to the chaos in the streets.”...

  • Things are changing for many legal immigrants, too:

Why Trump’s flip-flop on Iran’s uranium stockpile is a big deal

Trump says that Iran giving up its highly enriched uranium isn’t “necessary.” Wait, what?


VIDEO | Included:

President Donald Trump has long presented himself as a genius negotiator who has mastered the “art of the deal.” But his latest comments about what he hopes to achieve in talks with Iran show how the most basic principles of deal-making elude him.


Fox News anchor Sean Hannity asked the president on Thursday about whether the U.S. was considering the options of seizing Iran’s estimated stockpile of 970 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which can be enriched slightly further to make nuclear bombs, by force or whether the U.S. would try to “entomb it” and make it impossible for Iran to access.


• Trump’s surprise admission is exactly the kind of statement that Iranian negotiators will take note of.


Notably, U.S. intelligence assessments have estimated that the joint U.S.-Israeli bombardment campaign has failed to set back Iran’s nuclear capabilities....

Why the U.S. is noticing this Canadian security bill

Bill C-22 proposes to help police investigate online cases


A Liberal government bill that proposes giving police and spies easier access to information during investigations has fallen into the crosshairs of U.S. tech giants and two American congressional committees, threatening to become the latest irritant in the Canada-U.S. relationship.


The bill, this government’s second attempt at passing lawful access legislation, has already garnered intense domestic scrutiny from privacy and civil rights advocates, and is now attracting attention south of the border. Late last week, the heads of two American congressional committees sent a letter to federal Public Safety Minister Anandasangaree calling for changes...

Hantavirus has no cure. Here's where researchers are at with treatments and vaccines

Infections are rare but can have a 40 percent death rate


A hantavirus outbreak aboard a luxury cruise ship this month has put the spotlight on a deadly disease that has no cure. Hantavirus cases are rare and typically not contagious between humans. When people do catch it, it is usually after touching objects, eating food or inhaling particles contaminated with rodent droppings or urine. People can get it if they are bitten by an infected rodent, but that is also uncommon.


Infections can be deadly, and there is no dedicated treatment for hantavirus. Researchers around the world are working on a hantavirus vaccine, though they say development is in the early stages and rollout could be years away...

  • How is hantavirus treated?:

There isn't currently a vaccine for hantavirus, but researchers across the world are working to develop one.

Thank you, Lord, for finally sending us a beautiful, bright, mild, sunny morning here on the Niagara Peninsula of southern Ontario's Fruit and Wine Country. I pray the grapes made it through the latest cold spell. To be sure, if this cold weather were a skulking wolf, its audience would bury the wolf under a mound of boots on its way out the door by now.


Now that I have a nice, warm, happy broth ready for breakfast, I wouldn't want to go to the news before I have my happy broth, and have some ORANGE HARPY 😡𓅚 come along and 💩 in my happy broth 🍵🥄 😫🤒🤮


My prayer for today is for the Earth Angels, those who give of their hearts to those in need, WITHOUT THOUGHT OF FAME OR MONEY; those who would jump in front of a city bus to save a child, without even a thought about their own vulnerability. How about the soldier who jumps over the grenade on the battlefield to save her comrades-in-arms? I could go on and on, but I believe you get the point. Heroism is seen in the trenches through selflessness and the ability to feel another's feelings as if they were your own. The time has come for the unsung heroes to emerge from the shadows and take their rightful place as Earth Angels, holding high the light sword of truth. That's my opinion,

Question: A hero, empath?


AI Overview

An empath, or a "super empath," is an empowered individual who uses high emotional intelligence, intuition, and deep compassion as their primary strengths to heal, lead, and protect. They are transforming from a role of self-sacrificing "healer" to one of sovereign, strong, and boundary-setting guardians of their own energy.

As for Canada, watch your (‿ˠ‿). I pray that Alberta gets its head on straight. If they defect, the rest of Canada will fall into disarray, and we will all be the 51st state of NAZI LAND AMERICA. Canada can be easily consumed by any outside force and become its territory, maybe China or Russia, if not, then the new NAZI LAND AMERICA. Which of the three do you prefer?

New York — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has a net worth estimated at roughly $200 billion, was recently asked about California’s wealth tax proposal that has some billionaires riled up.

Many billionaires are frustrated over blue states’ and cities’ attempts to raise taxes on the superrich. Silicon Valley titans Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel are spending millions to fight California’s proposal. Financier Ken Griffin called Mayor Zohran Mamdani using Griffin’s Manhattan penthouse as the backdrop for his video proposing a pied-à-terre tax “shameful.” Steven Roth, CEO of real estate giant Vornado, compared calls to tax the rich to a racial epithet.

Trump’s polls just passed a historic low

The president is now more unpopular than Joe Biden ever was.


The president’s poll numbers are in the toilet. He is struggling to stay alert during key events. An overseas conflict is dampening enthusiasm among his base. Voters are furious about rising inflation.


That was the narrative around former President Joe Biden when he exited the presidential race in mid-2024. And every sentence applies now to President Donald Trump, whose recent polling is as bad as Biden’s was when he threw in the towel — or in some cases worse. But the two presidents’ reactions — and that of their parties — could not be more different.

Good morning, I'm doing so, so, like I have a trout flopping around in my stomach. The weather, for the immediate time, is the usual grey, wet, damp, and chilly 💩 weather. I just gave up making plans for a regular summer. I'll just keep the snow shoes polished up; you never know. If it doesn't get nice by the weekend, I am going to put away my gardening tools that have been taking up space on the kitchen table for the last three weeks, waiting for favorable weather.


I don't want to live in a world without empathy. Just thinking of that makes me feel alone, forlorn, and lost, like what is there to live for in the future if there is nothing but hate and destruction left? That leaves me with no one else left in the void around me to care. Crying and weeping in loneliness in a dark corner. No one to care or share a little encouragement and compassion with another caring human being. Instead, we have lying, Criminal activities such as theft, drug trafficking, violence, murder, suicide, and others are all on the rise as the world gets nuttier. I guess if population control were part of Trumpo The Typo's Project 25, it would seem well underway.

Iranians are closely watching President Donald Trump’s visit to China — the leader of one of their most implacable enemies, meeting a powerful partner of Iran. And with the Iran war so high on the agenda in Beijing, state media in Tehran is almost gloating at the spectacle.


One headline, on the IRNA state news agency, reads: “Trump visits China in the shadow of failure and stalemate.” The United States is now turning to other nations, the article continues, to help manage its regional conflict.


But the truth is, both the US and Iran now seem to be looking to China for a way out of their deadlock, including the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the inability to agree a compromise on Iran’s nuclear activities...

Federal regulator has identified 127 cases of maple washing by retailers since the start of 2025


More than a year after the Buy Canadian movement took root, grocery giants Loblaw and Sobeys are facing increased scrutiny over "maple washing" — the practice of promoting imported goods as homegrown.


The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) slapped two Loblaw-owned stores in January with $10,000 fines each for maple washing, and one month later, two other Loblaw-owned stores got formal warnings for the same violation, CBC News has learned.


Sobeys is also on the CFIA's radar.
