TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, I kind of feared that would happen, these cruddy grey clouds would forget to leave and get stuck on top of us. Now, after teasing the heat wave away, we have this cloudy, damp, cool air.

The weather right now makes me feel uncomfortable, much like the subhuman shock wave colliding with other shockwaves, triggering other subhuman shockwaves; not unlike the lightning bolts flashing out of the roiling storm clouds overhead, threatening to disintegrate you with one flash. How can we navigate around this American mess and look after our own as one?

That can be done through NATO if they can just get the guts to pull the plug on America. America is no longer an ally. If America chose to fly the swastika on the Statue of Liberty, so then be it. The Constitution no longer exists, thus, Nazism.

It's as stark a difference as black and white, like chalk on a blackboard, no ifs, buts, or shades of grey. What is going on now is a genius playing an idiot like a fiddle, as if he were Putin's fiddle, Trump dancing to Putin's fiddle, as he takes America with him! AS OBVIOUS AS DAY AND NIGHT! Trump worships Putin, so where does that leave us? If you can't see that you're legally blind, you'd better get a guide dog before you start bumping your nose into walls. End of that discussion, it's time to WAKE THE "F" UP PEOPLE!

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

✊~ VIVE LA RESISTANCE ~✊

¡Viva la solidaridad! Latin America's Left Leads the Way

_*When I dig around on Google, I would be very relieved if I could find a solidarity movement in America, but nothing has yet come up. It almost seems that our American Democratic public representatives are all in some kind of brain shock, a stunned phase they haven't recovered from since the Trump election.

Then they allowed themselves to get kicked in the shinbones by Trump's big beautiful bill, and then they all made a face plant into the dirt. And now they stand like ostriches with their heads in the ground. They haven't even twitched since then, except for California governor Gavin Newsom, and I do pray that he remains strong to give the weaker ones the incentive to RESIST Kink Orange Pus Bag. Either keep resisting the crooked, demented pretender to the presidency or tell him to pull his pants down so you can kiss his stinky arse, diaper and all.

The motto of the State of New Hampshire is Live Free or Die. There is no other option. I am quite certain he can't choke everyone's wallet into non-existence. It's up to those who have the means to ensure the Orange Pus Bag cannot choke, and also to be welcomed among the ranks of the Freedom Fighters. Vive la Résistance!

Freedom Fighters. Vive la Résistance! America 2025

The phrase "Freedom Fighters. Vive la Résistance! America 2025" is a call to action, likely referencing resistance to a perceived threat to freedom and justice in the United States in the year 2025. It combines the English phrase "Freedom Fighters" with the French rallying cry "Vive la Résistance," meaning "Long live the Resistance," suggesting a movement against a powerful force. The year 2025 may indicate a specific period or context for this resistance, potentially tied to political events or policies in the United States at that time.

The "resistance" in this context is likely a reference to a broad spectrum of individuals and groups who oppose actions or policies they view as harmful or unjust...

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump is pressuring yet another top Fed official to resign

Washington

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on a top policymaker at the Federal Reserve to resign, after one of his allies alleged that she committed mortgage fraud.

In a letter dated August 15, Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte urged the Justice Department to investigate a pair of mortgages taken out in recent years by Fed Governor Lisa Cook.

On Wednesday, Trump referenced those allegations on his social media platform, writing that “Cook must resign, now!!!” Pulte, a vocal Trump ally, has frequently criticized the Fed and its leader, Chair Jerome Powell, for not lowering rates. He also called for closer scrutiny of the central bank’s costly refurbishment of its Washington, DC, headquarters...

Pierre Poilievre's (brief) exile is over. Now what?

For Battle River-Crowfoot to be the 'most important' byelection in history, much depends on what happens next

In fundraising appeals sent to supporters ahead of Monday's vote, the Conservative Party billed Battle River-Crowfoot as the "most important by-election in Canadian history."

It was at least the most important byelection in the history of Pierre Poilievre. Not that the winner was ever in much doubt. In attempting to regain a seat in the House of Commons — a chamber he first entered in 2004 at the age of 25 — Poilievre chose one of the safest ridings for a Conservative. In April, the Conservative candidate in Battle River-Crowfoot won with 83 per cent of the vote...

Can a byelection halt Poilievre's slide?:
Meet the new Poilievre, same as the old?:

Whether Poilievre himself has to change has been a much-discussed question since at least the middle of this spring's election campaign. He has said that he's not for turning, but it's perhaps possible to see small hints of a slightly different approach.
