TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, it is a fabulous, soggy, grey, chilly, clammy day. Good weather if you're a clammer from Nova Scotia. What can I say, when I don't have any hay, eh?

Well, there isn't much going on here in the Newsroom this morning except for the gloomy greyness. I went around the living room and kitchen and turned on every light and lamp I could turn on to cheer the place up a bit. I've gotten spoiled just stepping out into my Green Space in the morning and watching the sun come over the trees. I'm going to miss that.

Next week, beginning on the weekend, it is supposed to be up in the mid-60s °F and mostly sunny every day, not bad. That is about it from the Newsroom today.

MY POLITICAL PREACHING FOR THE DAY

Let us all go a' dancin' 💃🕺👯‍♀️👫 in the hay, 🌾eh! 👩‍🌾🌾 says Mrs. McKay whilst a dancin' with the Orange Clown Commander, Chief Bent Feather 🪶 from the white 💩🏠 wearin' the loaded diaper, 💩💩💩 in the merry month of May, June, July, August, and September, ☀️ 🌤🌦 and the heck with October, November, December, January, 🌨❄️💨 I like the bright sunny crispy month of February ☀️❄️ and the melting of the Ice Queen in March, 🧊💧 and the 🌸 🌺 apple blossoms of April.

Donald Trump's little cartoon of him flying a jet over the protesters and dumping 💩 on We the People, is that WHAT THE KINK OF BIZARROMERICA REALLY THINKS OF WHAT USED TO BE AMERICA? . The Orange Pus Head 🟠🤮 says 🖕 to the ✨🟰 . "💩💩💩 ON YOU ALL!" the little people!.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👩‍🌾🧑‍🏫🧑‍⚕️👨‍🏫👨‍💼👩‍🔧👨‍🚒👩‍🚀👰‍♀️🤵🚶‍♀️👭👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👸👩‍💻 ...

Like I said yesterday, we are no more than checkers on a checkerboard; 🟠🤮 can move any checker in any direction, any time he wants, when and wherever he wants, and he cheats at checkers.

He took your health insurance, your job, and he loves choking wallets, so people become non-persons. Then you can join the line-up of people without an ID getting deported to Great Spirit knows where?

Or living in a tent this winter. ⛺️ 🌨💨❄️ 🥶

Be honest with your own little inner voice; the imagery doesn't leave much wiggle room for any other expletive or platitudinous scenario, political or not. If you're not looking directly at the item in question, you will trip on what you missed and do the face plant thing into the pile of 💩.

_*Believe me, I have felt, I mean, I feel the sheer incomprehensible insanity within Trump. This guy, for as many years as I've seen him on TV, has been mercurial and cruel. I never had any good vibes for this swell-headed, narcissistic, sadistic, demented Orange Pus Toad. 🟠⚗️🐸 I have also been sharp enough to have noticed that anyone who hung around that cockroach got well run over by a bus, and he continues to do so to anyone who disagrees with him. Your life ain't worth a plug Canadian wooden 🪵 nickel if you cross him, this slime worm. 🟠⚗️🐛

So now you went and busted the system, eh?

"Dumb, dumb!"

When all it needed was a little modification and readjusting to be responsive to the fast-changing technological system in electronics, fiber optics, satellite communications, finance, cryptocurrency, and supercomputers that rule the times we are in.

I said that in a chatroom on Yahoo Chatrooms, just before New Year's of 2000, where all the computers were going to be worthless pieces of electronics after the clock rang year 2000. Nobody actually knew? Not even the developing companies of the computer industry. What a joke, but I was not so certain back then what was going to happen. Can you imagine the chaos if all the computers in the world suddenly shut down? I think I remember seeing a movie like that not long ago, something to do with knocking out all the satellites and relay stations

I LOVE A GOOD SCI-FI. 😊😟🥺🫨😮

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump’s response to ‘No Kings’ marches only proved the protesters’ point

A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king.

But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power.

The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP” appearing to dump raw sewage on protesters. In Vance’s troll on Bluesky, a site popular with liberals, prominent Democrats knelt as supplicants in a royal court before Trump, the divine and absolute ruler...

Ontario hit NextStar EV battery plant in Windsor with 10 stop work orders over hazards, documents show

'The minister proposed some solutions for consideration by labour,' local MPP says

Workers at a massive, publicly subsidized electric vehicle (EV) battery plant project in southwestern Ontario have faced repeated health and safety hazards, including high levels of carbon monoxide, electrical risks and flooded parking lots, according to government records obtained by CBC News.

The documents show provincial inspectors have visited the site dozens of times since construction broke ground in 2022 and have issued over 100 orders to NextStar Energy, the company behind the project, that were related to health and safety issues. That included 10 stop work orders for certain areas of the site until the company addressed the issues. Failure to comply with orders under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) could lead to hefty fines and even imprisonment...
