TREE HOUSE NEWS🏡

Land of The Whispering Pines🌲

Good morning! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and blessed🙏🌅

Well, what do you know? It's a sunny☀️ morning with normal seasonal temperatures out there. I do pray that the great scrotum-sagging, (jetstream-sagging) time is over. "Someone hand me a couple of tent poles, please!"⛺️ Looking so forward to going out in my green space and listening to the lazy hum and buzz of insects, crickets, grasshoppers, katydids, and the May Flies, which should be out as soon as it's warm at night. Then you get the moths and other night-flying insects, and so on.🦋🦗🐝🐞🐜

Many times through the winter months, especially on cloudy days, lots of those this year, I turn all the LED lights in the house on for a semblance of bright sun, and I now and again visit YouTube nature videos to break the monotony. That is also the reason I greened up the balcony with artificial plants.

I can look out from the kitchen table through the sliding glass doors on a bright sunny day, and it looks inviting, like a penthouse terrace somewhere in the Mediterranean. Won't be going south of the border for a while. Peaceful and safe places in the tropics seem to be getting scarcer these days. So I brought the tropics to us.

In the summer, I get the bonus of a green background of trees across the driveway. Thus, The Tree House,🌞 like I said yesterday. Back in the day, we used to shoot off our mouths🫦 and tend to our beeswax, but now they shoot off their guns and dynamite💣 at everyone else's beeswax. 😢 DO YOU KNOW HOW SILLY THAT LOOKS? If you stand outside the human race, let's say from orbit somewhere where you can observe the entire human race as a whole, and see all the STUPIDITY of being HELL BENT ON GENOCIDE? What kind of butt hole dumb, dumb,🗿 donkey sh-t💩 is that? And we say we are in a civilised society? If what's going on out there is sanity, then I'm the Pope's sister. Hi ROB!👼

Would that not be a lot easier to put a patch on than?

"YES, we are on The Eve Of Destruction!" The only thing holding back the big bang is that Putin is too busy smirking in his beer, watching Lady Liberty disrobe herself like a cheap prostitute and the Orange Menace as her pimp. My apologies if that may hurt anyone, I know that hurt, it hurts me deeply as well. America was my second home.

Back then, there was no border for Metis. Now, they probably would send me to El Salvador for being French, but I look more Hispanic and injun mixture in color, without disrespect meant to my Native Amarican brothers and sisters, But help us all, G-d, IT IS THE TRUTH.

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump, in a major concession, says the tariff on China should be 80% — but will leave it up to Bessent

President Donald Trump on Friday set negotiating terms for his administration’s first discussions with China, which are set to take place in Geneva this weekend.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump appeared to lay out his demands — and concessions — for the meeting between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and their Chinese counterparts. Trump said China must import more US goods, and in return, he believes the United States should lower its 145% tariff on most Chinese goods to 80%.

“CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!,” Trump posted.

• The president made a major concession to Beijing ahead of trade talks between the two countries this weekend
• Analysis Trump’s first trade ‘deal’ doesn’t bode well for the rest of the world
• Analysis The UK trade agreement was the easy part. China will be exponentially harder

Internal FAA report downplayed risks of data outage affecting Newark air traffic controllers

Planes are parked at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday, as flight delays and cancellations continued at the airport.

Before the FAA moved air traffic controllers who oversee the Newark Liberty International Airport airspace to a new site in Philadelphia last year, the agency’s experts concluded the odds of a dangerous communications breakdown were extremely unlikely: 1 in 11 million, according to an internal report obtained by CNN.

In reality, the safety concerns officials downplayed appear to have occurred multiple times since the new system went into place last summer, according to multiple controllers.

Data outages – including a failure of about 90 seconds of radar and radio service last week – have repeatedly left controllers without the ability to see the locations of planes they were tracking. The problems led to several controllers taking trauma leave from work and sparked the massive flight delays and cancellations roiled Newark over the last week.

With measles outbreaks growing in Canada, this mother pleads with parents to vaccinate

Measles outbreaks are growing in Ontario, Alberta, and cases rising in Saskatchewan

Rebecca Archer lovingly places a pair of small glasses on a shelf filled with memorabilia like trinkets and photos. They belonged to her 10-year-old daughter, Renae, who suddenly died after a measles infection.

"She was just really intelligent. Just a really happy child, always smiling," she remembers.

Renae was just five months old when she got the measles – too young to be vaccinated, but unable to avoid being exposed during an outbreak in Manchester, England, in 2013.

Maybe you Nonevaxers don't care about your health or your life, at least have respect for those who do value their health and their lives, GET THE DAMNE SHOT! Dumb, dumb! If you get sick, I won't even waste a prayer on you, because you brought it on yourself. "SO! get this non-vac sh-t out of your head if you value life!"

Oil prices are down. It means something different in Canada vs. the U.S

Lower prices due to market concerns of low demand and high supply Pumpjacks draw out oil and gas from well heads near Calgary in April 2023. Canada has the third-largest oil reserves in the world and is the world's fourth-largest oil producer.

A steep drop in oil prices in the first months of the year has undermined any plans for oil companies to "drill, baby drill."

But reaction to the plunging price of crude has played out differently in Canada versus the U.S, with companies south of the border eyeing production cuts while the Canadian sector holds steady.

Since the beginning of the year, the benchmark price of a barrel of oil has tumbled from a high of $80 US a barrel to around $60 US this week.
