Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Not so good, weather-wise. The rain was welcome, but they can shove the crapy chilly temperature up their butt hole, whoever is in charge of the weather, BLAME IT ON TRUMP! It's no longer the Russians' fault; they're too preoccupied with bullying and massacring Ukraine. 💥🔥🪓⚔️ and Trump is too busy beating on🥊🍁

TODAY'S PRAYER:

Let us take a moment for meditation and prayer, that this dark, brooding storm cloud over America, an America that is no longer recognizable as a democracy with laws and order, which is fast becoming *Bizarromarica*. Let us pray that this darkness may be lifted. And that this darkness doesn't spread over our side of the border.

I am too old to learn to sing and salute to KINK ORANGE PUS BAG, (Hi Hitler), my arse.

Ω ~ VIVE LA RESISTANCE ~ Ω

🖕TRUMP!

And I don't give a damn if you don't want to vote Democrat, nominate Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, or Goofy, even a 🪱 would do better than that Kink Orange Pus Bag.

MSNBC is transitioning to its network MSN in August.

Sorry, I couldn't find the origin of this news, but apparently, from old news I wasn't aware of, MSNBC will transition to just being MSN sometime in August, which means a change in staff and management.

I smell a skunk at this garden party, and the skunk's name is Donald G-d Damned Trump. MSNBC is indeed separating from NBC. However, I will post the personnel details later, once I have more information and confirmation on this news item.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Worms & Politicians:

Worms:

Worms simply suck their way through their surrounding elements, which pass through them for nourishment and expel waste as they go, especially your wallet for the people kind of worm, without any thought or feeling, let alone thinking ahead of consequences. Worms don't think, they just do what worms do—Kink Pus Bag's Dunce Brigade.

Politicians:

Under normal circumstances, it is beneficial to have two sides to a discussion, one to balance the other, and that should be the way these lawmakers should abide by the rules of the game. But it is not. Today, it's too much lying, backstabbing, and deception; now it has even come to attempted murder of opponents. They don't backstab you anymore; they choke your wallet to death.

You could even have a good yard sale on the greedy politicians who sold their souls to the devil for money. 👹 You may get lucky and get their souls for a buck twenty for a fifty-pound bag of them at your local supermarket. That mindless, self-gratifying greed is probably the greatest pandemic we've had in recent history. I'm busy stealing mine, go steal your own.

Stocks open higher as Trump's tariff deadline looms

US stocks opened higher Thursday morning as traders rallied on Big Tech earnings and awaited President Donald Trump’s August 1 deadline for trade deals.

The Dow opened higher by 80 points, or 0.18%. The broader S&P 500 rose 0.8% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 1.3%. The S&P and Nasdaq hit intraday record highs. The S&P 500 is coming off two days in the red after previously clinching six consecutive days of record highs.

The benchmark index is up more than 3% this month and on track for its third consecutive month of gains. Markets on Thursday were boosted by Microsoft and Meta, which soared 6% and 12%, respectively. Wall Street was enthusiastic about their earnings results on Wednesday. Investors have cheered big tech companies’ spending on artificial intelligence.

“The stock market’s focus is finally moving past tariffs and onto more traditional drivers of stock prices, such as earnings and economic data,” Clark Bellin, president and chief investment officer at Bellwether Wealth, said in an email. Investors are largely betting Trump’s tariff deadline might prove to be more bark than bite. But that optimism will be tested these next two trading days...

CANADIAN NEWS:

This is the court case that could kneecap most Trump tariffs

Case before federal appeal court includes tariffs on Canada that Trump is threatening to bump to 35% on Friday

Most of the tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed on countries around the world face a crucial legal test on Thursday. The hearing before the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit involves a pair of lawsuits challenging the 25 per cent tariff Trump levied on imports from Canada and Mexico in March and what Trump called his "Liberation Day" tariffs, imposed on nearly every other country in April.

At issue is whether Trump's justifications for the tariffs hold any legal water, given the president has limited powers to levy duties on foreign countries...

• Five small businesses, led by a New York wine importer, challenging the Liberation Day tariffs.

• Twelve states, led by Oregon, challenging both the Liberation Day tariffs and the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
• Do tariffs 'deal with' fentanyl crisis?:
• 'Pretty major national significance':

'I won't back down': How and why Canadians are boycotting the U.S.

Canadians being extra mindful about where they spend money

Tyler Bloomfield · CBC News ·

As a trade deadline with the U.S. hangs over Canada, we have been hearing about Canadians taking the ongoing trade war into their own hands. So we asked you to email ask@cbc.ca to tell us how and why you have been boycotting U.S. goods and travel. Dozens of you answered the call and told us what you're doing.

Unsurprisingly, most mentioned searching out more Canadian products and adopting an "anything but American" mentality when Canadian alternatives aren't available. You also told us about skipping out on travel to the U.S. and becoming more mindful about where you are spending your money.

• 'Rabid label readers':
• Refusing to cross the border:
• Local alternatives:
• A lifetime boycott:

♪♫NATURE'S SOUNDS AND MUSIC TO SOOTH THE SOUL♪♫

🎇~ Energetic Nature of The Oneness~🎇

- Google Search -

The energetic nature of oneness suggests that all things are interconnected and part of a single, unified energy field. This concept, found in various spiritual and philosophical traditions, implies that while appearances may suggest separation, a deeper reality reveals unity and interdependence. Oneness, therefore, can be understood as the fundamental interconnectedness of all things through a shared, underlying source of energy.
