TREE HOUSE NEWS🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

You know what's different this morning? A different shade of grey clouds. 🌫 It's windy, 💨 nice and warm, supposed to be partly sunny and warm today according to the weather forecast. 👩‍💼 🏝 But no fun sitting out there in that dumb arse wind. I'm going to have to get Night Vision Glasses. If this keeps up with the clouds, I may need those kinds of glasses to see in the dark.

They really do have Night Vision Glasses; I just looked it up on Google. They're like a plastic wrap that sticks over the lenses of your glasses. "Err". I would not try it on my newest prescription glasses. I have four spare pairs of old prescription glasses. I keep one in my car, one in my purse, and one in both the living room and computer room. That way, I have a pair, no matter where I am; if I should forget my regular ones at home, I have a spare. If I were to get those lens night vision sticker-oners, I would experiment with one of my spare glasses.

Damn I hate strong winds, it blows garbage - plastic bags bottles and paper all over the place. Dummies don't have latches to hold down the lids on the recycling buckets. I hope that the need for that arsholery with the strong winds will last for a while.

Well, that's about enough lip flapping 👄 🎤 for one day, except that I got up feeling fairly darn good, outside of some creaking in the bulkheads within the hull of my Good Ship Lolie Pop. I'm doing fine as I continue sailing lazily along a calm sea. ⛵️ 😎 🌞

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

So now they have gone and done it. They blew up Iran's underground nuclear facility, so they think. Just sayin', what if that site was a decoy to draw the enemy forces away from where the real site is? Ayatollah Khamenei would be taking a good hit of opium and laughing his head off around now. Let's just see how this all unravels. Is it an Egyptian mummy in all those bandages or just a picture of the middle finger of a mummy?

What do you think? I believe that while we were discussing the picture of the mummy's finger, the suspect, 'mummy', refers to the Ayatollah sneaking out the backstage door. "EXIT STAGE LEFT!" as Bugs would say. 🐰The Coyote 🐺 in The Road Runner 🦜 show is how far he goes beyond the edge of the cliff before he gives that big-eyed, "Uh-oh!"

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT EXPRESSION ON The Kink Orange Pus Bag's face. 🤮

What are your thoughts about the Iran bombing? If you wish to share your thoughts, feel free to do so here. My personal opinion is that if they did hit the right place, and I pray they did, then that's one worry less. Criminally insane psychopaths should not be allowed near anything resembling nuclear. That includes the Orange Pus Bag.

It appears that it will be a job for us, We, The People, to keep these facilities running and safe from lunatics getting access to a complete Total Destruction, by simply preventing all the Nuclear Launch Codes from being entered. And keep the nuclear energy plants and stockpiles supervised and safe. SOMEBODY WITH BRAINS HAS TO TAKE OVER THE REINS! Big ⚫️ <- period, that's it!

Satellite imagery appears to show large craters at key nuclear site, pointing to use of bunker busting bombs

US airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility appear to have left at least six large craters, pointing to the use of bunker busting bombs, a CNN analysis of satellite imagery found.

The images captured by satellite company Maxar showed six visible, separate impact craters in two nearby locations at Fordow — a highly secretive site buried deep in the mountains. The craters can be seen along a ridge running over the underground complex.

Earlier Sunday, a US official confirmed to CNN the US had used B-2 bomber planes to drop more than a dozen massive “bunker buster” bombs as part of the attack on Fordow and two other nuclear sites. These weapons can penetrate deep underground before detonating and are seen as essential for targeting the facility, much of which is buried beneath the ground.

Satellite imagery also showed significant changes to the color of the mountainside where the site is housed, indicating a vast area was covered with a layer of grey ash in the aftermath of the strikes.

As of yet, the level of damage to the underground facility is unclear...

A potent heat dome is building over the US, sending temperatures into the triple digits

The hottest temperatures of the year so far will soon reach the eastern half of the United States as a brutal heat dome starts to build over the weekend. Dangerous, record-breaking heat will impact millions next week.

Much of the East is getting a brief respite from the July-like heat that baked the region earlier this week, but thermometers will soar to even more extreme levels starting Sunday.

Tens of millions of people from the Midwest to the East Coast will face a level 4-of-4 extreme heat risk Sunday through at least Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. Such long-lasting heat is rare, will likely offer little to no overnight relief and will affect anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration,” the agency warns...

CANADIAN NEWS:

Carney heads to Europe with military spending on the agenda PM expected to sign EU defence agreement before NATO summit

Prime Minister Mark Carney departs Sunday to meet with European and NATO allies amid heightened tension in the Middle East and mere hours after the United States joined Israel's war with Iran.

The first stop will be in Brussels on Monday, where the prime minister is expected to sign a comprehensive security and defence partnership with the European Union.

U.S. President Donald Trump bailed early on last week's G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., saying he was needed at the White House to deal with the evolving war where Israel is attempting to not only destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, but to instigate regime change...

Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe?

In the Austrian city of Vienna, more than half of its residents live in some form of subsidized housing

Slavica Salihbegovic's family was growing. So she did what anyone living in Vienna would do: She asked the city for a bigger apartment.

"At that time, I was pregnant with my first kid," she said. "I lived in a two-room apartment … it was an OK building, but it was small for us."

Salihbegovic went to an online portal, entered her income and requirements, and was ranked alongside thousands of other residents. Soon, she was assigned a new apartment: a three-bedroom unit in a brand-new building, adjacent to Vienna's Central Station. It's hers for life — she can even pass it down to her children, if she wants.

"I love it. It's in the middle of Vienna," she said. "A lot of young families moved in at the same time….
