TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, it is a good morning weather-wise. This high-pressure system seems to be standing stationary right over us, which I don't mind. I am not looking forward to the next few weeks. It's that time of year again, with too many doctors' appointments. At this time of year, fall, I don't trust those little rooms at the doctor's office. I got sick three times going there during bug season. I would have been better off not seeing the doctor. Why, to get sick? Today I am seeing the dentist to get my teeth checked and get that done before bug season. Unless there is something I missed, I will be getting my flu and COVID shot, then see only my doctor in late November, THAT'S THE SCARY ONE. If the bug count goes nuts, then the doc will just have to wait.

I am only mentioning this to remind you all, DON'T LISTEN TO THE FAKE NEWS AND THE ANTI-VAX DUNCES. Because that's precisely what they are, DUNCES! The hell with those cockroaches; the shots are, by some estimates, as high as 93% effective against symptomatic infection and over 98% against severe disease.

Without the shot, you have a 98% higher risk of getting the bug than the person who got the shot. Take a moment and do the math and research on Google!

BEWARE CANADIANS, I PLEAD, Please Be Smart, don't drink the same KoolAid they drink south of the border. Don't be a dunce.

They, Trump's Feds, are talking about shutting down all television and radio broadcasts, CNN, MSNBC, and a couple of other primary news sources that lean to the left. Any media outlet that speaks against Kink Orange Pus Bag, in Chief Bent Feather in Shitty in Diapers, and his Cockroach Brigade! I SAY, may they all take a "loooong" walk off the edge of a very steep and deep precipice that falls into a vortex and end up on planet BizarroMerica, the Twilight Zone, or how about getting abducted by Butt-kissing aliens and we never hear from them again.

Who will be next, the Social Networks? But of course, the Social Networks will continue publishing their Nazi agenda, and also attempt to arrest the rest of us who don't conform to them on the internet.

That's going to be quite an enterprise, especially across the border. Even if Elon were to shut down all of his Starlinks going to other unwanted countries, those countries already have an internet system that works quite well with cell towers, and they are still erecting better, stronger, and higher towers in Canada. Sometime within the next couple of months, Canada will also be joining the space race by putting their own satellites in orbit.

I don't pray for anything bad to happen to anyone, even the really hateful ones. I may pause for a while, let out a small litany of both real and homemade cuss words, and I may imagine myself twisting chicken necks.

I cannot wish anyone harm, but I can certainly pray for the Great Spirit to be the judge and expedite whatever Karma the Architect of this Universe has in store for him. The horse's arse ain't a goin' to live forever, and I am around the same age he is, but at least I have a brain that is fully functioning, the mechanical parts that are getting worn out.

I wonder when they will come out with brain transplants. Or what about growing a new brain from a stem cell? MY GOODNESS, send all the Trump duplicate experiments to Pluto, PLEASE! WITHOUT SPACE SUITS!

That will be it for me for today. My stomach is acting up, so I will go on with the news and hopefully rest a little before the dentist appointment.

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump's anti-media blitz that led to Kimmel's suspension is straight from a European strongman's playbook

Weaponize the levers of government for partisan political gain. Pressure privately owned media companies to toe the party line. Punish the owners who resist and reward the ones who acquiesce.

That's how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán consolidated control of the media in his country, according to scholars who witnessed Hungary's democratic backsliding firsthand. President Trump and his allies appear to be running the same playbook against media outlets in the US.

Using legal maneuvers, financial incentives, and public pressure campaigns, Trump is persuading companies to make changes that benefit his party and bolster his own power. Wednesday's decision by Disney's ABC to sideline Jimmy Kimmel is the latest example.

Here are the Supreme Court precedents that targeting 'hate speech' would violate

Attorney General Pam Bondi's opaque threat to target "hate speech" following the assassination of conservative crusader Charlie Kirk would, if carried out, run up against a litany of Supreme Court precedent on an issue that has largely united conservative and liberal justices for decades.

Here are the Supreme Court precedents that targeting ‘hate speech’ would violate

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s opaque threat to target “hate speech” following the assassination of conservative crusader Charlie Kirk would, if carried out, run up against a litany of Supreme Court precedent on an issue that has largely united conservative and liberal justices for decades.

Bondi has drawn bipartisan and biting criticism this week for suggesting that there is a distinction between free speech and hate speech, an idea that the Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected. And her subsequent attempts to walk back that statement have also bumped up against landmark rulings – some longstanding and others more recent – from the high court. “Freedom of speech is sacred in our country, and we will never impede upon that right,” Bondi said in a statement to Axios after her initial remarks on a podcast Monday caused an uproar. “My intention was to speak about threats of violence that individuals incite against others.”

The attorney general’s warnings, which initially included vague threats of prosecution, are part of a broader push by President Donald Trump to use the anger over Kirk’s brutal killing to punish the left...

Carney heads to Mexico in search of an ally — and opportunities

Countries seek common approaches as both deal with the giant between them

Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to Mexico Thursday with two separate, but related, goals. The first is to find ways to work with Mexico to preserve North America-wide free trade, or at least as much of it as can be saved from the most protectionist U.S. administration in a century.

The second is to develop a bilateral trading relationship with Mexico that operates independently of the whims of the White House, and can survive whatever fate lies in store for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) when its renegotiation finally happens...
