TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It appears it is going to be a beautiful sunny summer day again today. I really have no idea how I'm going to feel and how long before some pain in the arse shows up, like right now. My stomach is playing skipping rope, and I have the beginnings of a headache in my left temple, which I believe is my teeth, like it's trying to keep the same beat as the stomach. I don't need a crystal ball, but I can see a retinue of doctors in tiny rooms full of COVID-19 in my future.

Oh well, I guess as you age, you'd better be prepared to carry an extra suitcase just for your pills. You need to take a bucket of pills just to live a half-normal life. There's not much of a physical life after 80 years old. The only way to deal with the ailments is bull my way through, and while my mind is occupied, the pain goes in the background.

If you wish, please send me a HEALING PRAYER to get rid of some of this pain. I only ask to be fully active and have my faculties intact until it's time to go, and so I can finish my work here. It's hard to do if there's a constant pain in the arse or threats ot it.

Now For The Good News.

CANADIAN SPACE LAUNCH

NordSpace Planning Another Attempt at Rocket Launch in St. Lawrence by Mid-Month

A Canadian space technology company, which is developing a commercial spaceport on the Burin Peninsula, is hoping to take another stab at Canada's first commercial space launch by mid-month. NordSpace, a company based in Markham, Ontario, made several failed attempts to launch its Taiga rocket from St. Lawrence in late August before the optimal weather window closed.

CEO Rahul Goel says they're ready to launch again as soon they get the authorization. He says that while it was disappointing that the rocket didn't get launched as planned in late August, but all the fail-safes worked as they should.

GOOD! They're not wasting time. I knew that someday we would be launching rockets from Canada. Especially after the UK sent their first successful rocket back a while ago, I never thought it would be this quick. This cake must have been in the oven for a while, but I've not heard about it before.

I did a quick research of all countries that have orbital-capable rockets listed below.

WIKIPEDIA:

Timeline of first orbital launches by country

This is a timeline of first orbital launches by country. While a number of countries, including. Canada, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Argentina, Italy, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, the Philippines, Egypt, Spain, Mexico, Thailand and Chile, have built or launched satellites, as of 2022, eleven countries, incl. the United States, Japan, China, India, Iran, Israel, France, the United Kingdom and South Korea, could send objects into orbit with their own launch vehicles. Russia and Ukraine inherited the capability of the space launchers and satellites from the Soviet Union, following its dissolution in 1991. Russia launches its rockets from its own and foreign (Kazakh) spaceports.

SO, it appears that the space program is still alive and well somewhere.

LET US PRAY:

Great Spirit, please be merciful to We, the People. We have been caught up in the meat grinder of this insanity. Great Spirit, save, protect, and guide the people of The RESISTANCE. Resist through prayer and action. Don't just think about it, do something. You, the people, are who will get things done, one deed at a time. AMEN! 🙏

NATO shoots down Russian drones in Polish airspace, accusing Moscow of being ‘absolutely reckless’

NATO fighter jets shot down multiple Russian drones that violated Polish airspace during an attack on neighboring Ukraine early on Wednesday, as the military alliance denounced Moscow for “absolutely dangerous” behavior that ratcheted up tensions to a new level.

The operation marked the first time that shots were fired by NATO since the start of the war in Ukraine. Polish and Dutch jets intercepted the drones, with assistance from Italian, German and NATO’s multinational forces, officials said.

Russian drones were shot down in several locations across Poland

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said there were 19 intrusions of his country's airspace, and that a "large proportion" of the drones entered it from Belarus.

Trump is okay with letting his DC police takeover lapse, White House officials say

President Donald Trump doesn't mind letting his 30-day takeover of Washington, DC's Metropolitan Police Department lapse on Wednesday, White House officials told CNN — mainly because he feels the city has taken steps to cooperate.

Those officials argued the executive order signed by DC Mayor Muriel Bowser last week, which calls for indefinite collaboration with federal law enforcement, achieves their goals without an extension that would typically require congressional approval.

Trump has previously vowed to push lawmakers to approve his continued federalization of the DC police force. But after Bowser's order, the officials said he has abandoned plans to pressure GOP lawmakers to take up such a bill, which would have required some Democratic support in the Senate...

In new book, Kamala Harris says it was reckless to let Biden make reelection decision on his own

“In retrospect,” Kamala Harris writes of letting Joe and Jill Biden decide on their own whether the then-president should have tried to run for re-election, “I think it was recklessness.”

That is the assessment that the former vice president makes in her forthcoming memoir of her abbreviated 2024 run, in a significant break from the dutiful stance she took toward her old boss throughout their time in office and since. “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the first excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday morning by The Atlantic. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

Part of the problem, Harris writes, was a Biden team so committed to not helping her that she says it ultimately came at his own, and the country’s expense...

CANADIAN NEWS:

No oil pipeline on the list of projects of national interest

*No private company has raised a hand so far to develop such a project*

As Prime Minister Mark Carney's government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected, Radio-Canada has learned that no oil pipeline is on the list, according to three sources. "There is no [oil] pipeline project on the table," one of them said, despite the federal government's promise to make Canada an "energy superpower."

Carney has never ruled out the idea of supporting the construction of a new pipeline.

"We have to choose a few major projects, not necessarily pipelines, but maybe pipelines: we'll see," he said on the French-language TV show, Tout le monde en parle, during the election campaign. The prime minister nevertheless emphasized the importance of reaching a consensus with the provinces.

Behind the scenes, a Liberal source insisted that the absence of a pipeline on the initial list does not mean that one will never happen. Approval of a natural gas pipeline project is also not out of the question.
