Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It's kind of a gloomy, grey morning, so I turned on a few extra lights to make it look more like daytime. I seem to be better coordinated in the bright light; otherwise, in the semi-darkness, I would have bruises all over me by the end of the day. I am also learning to slow my thinking down to match my physical actions between point A and point B, ensuring there are no obstructions along the way.

That's a hard one to learn after a lifetime of action, required, reaction, motion, and then done! All in one motion! Without even thinking about the mechanics of doing it step by step, I have been doing it like that for most of my life. My instinctive reaction was well ahead of the physical for most of my life, but more reflexive; now the physical response feels like a snail's pace compared to my mental activity, which hasn't changed. Slow physical reactions with a speeding thought process, like rush hour on an interstate, don't mix well.

BREAKING NEWS:

Experts skeptical of legality of Trump's strike on alleged drug boat

Under intense pressure from Capitol Hill to provide a legal rationale for the unprecedented killing of 11 alleged drug smugglers by the US military, the Trump administration has so far ducked lawmakers and provided a mishmash of public justifications that raise serious questions about the legality of the strike, legal experts and congressional sources say.

The Defense Department on Friday abruptly canceled classified briefings it was set to provide in the morning to several key House and Senate committees, two people familiar with the matter told CNN. Lawmakers and staffers had hoped to ask officials questions about the legal justification for the strike, and even get basic details like which military unit conducted the attack, what type of munition was used and the kind of intelligence gathering that went into determining the identities and intentions of those on the boat...

This screengrab of a video posted to Donald Trump's Truth Social account on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, shows what Trump described as a Tren de Aragua boat carrying drugs from Venezuela, against which Trump ordered a strike. Donald Trump/Truth Social

Inside the raid: How a monthslong federal immigration operation led to 475 arrests at a Hyundai plant in Georgia

A sprawling Hyundai manufacturing plant in a quiet southeast Georgia community became ground zero on Thursday for one of the most extensive immigration raids in recent US history. The operation, months in the making, ended with 475 arrests, most of them Korean nationals.

As state troopers blocked roads leading to the plant and set up a security perimeter, nearly 500 federal, state and local officers poured into the sprawling battery production facility, still under construction. Agents moved swiftly, lining up workers along the walls. Word of the raid spread across the property, triggering a scramble among workers who attempted to flee, with some running to a sewage pond and others hiding in air ducts.

• Workers describe tense, chaotic scene:
• Most of those detained were Korean nationals:
• Months of coordinated planning by multiple federal agencies:

What the latest jobs report means for you … buckle up

After years of plentiful employment opportunities, healthy pay bumps and pandemic savings-fueled spending sprees, American workers now face a sobering economic reality: It’s getting harder and harder to find work, and more and more industries are shedding jobs.

The latest jobs report, released Friday, indicated that the US economy added about 22,000 jobs in August and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, the highest it’s been in nearly four years. The job market is “stalling,” Glassdoor economist Daniel Zhao told CNN on Friday, “it’s slowing to a dangerous speed.”

• Job growth is practically nonexistent:
• Takeaways from the August jobs report:

(which includes more comprehensive dispatches from US businesses) now shows a net loss of 13,000 jobs.

• More industries lost jobs in August than added them:
• How things can turn for the worse, or the better:

An interest rate cut, even a small one, could unleash pent-up demand:

With fear and uncertainty, residents repopulate Gaza border kibbutz

4 days ago News 6:40 min.

Nearly two years after the devastating Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks, the Israeli government is reopening areas near the border with Gaza, including Nir Oz and Nahal Oz. For The National, CBC’s Susan Ormiston returns to the region and finds complex emotions behind the push to rebuild the kibbutzim as war still rages nearby.

Not much in the way of good news on either side of the border, except for one big difference. The unemployed in Canada WILL RECEIVE EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE with job training programs.

As far as I can see, with the disorganization and confusion in the US, there will be no public safety nets, healthcare programs, or unemployment benefits for the fired Federal workers.

So, Canadians, be grateful that we still have a functional, free, fair, and sovereign government.🍁 Make sure there is "A FIRE!" 🔥 before breaking the glass. 🔨 🪟
