TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It appears to be another lovely, sunny morning here at the Tree House. The next couple of days should be around 53°F to nearly 60°F, with mostly sun and light winds. When the sun shines on my Green Space on the balcony and it's shielded from the wind by a partition, it will be like summer out there.

I hope I don't waste too much time in that dentist's office this morning. I would like to spend some time out there today. I hate stuffy little rooms full of OP's germs and bugs. I usually wait in the car and have them call me in if I can. At least in the car, I can scroll through my phone while listening to the latest news on the radio.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

DECEPTION

The weather can be quite deceiving nowadays. It's not only deceiving, it's unpredictable, and unforgiving; I swear, the entire nature of Mother Gaia —without any opposition or defenders — has taken on the spirit of our fabulous tin can god of the universe, the Orange Pus Bag—dictator and Kink of BIZARROMERICA.

"That will be it for me today," I say as I step away from the rostrum, and the microphone falls with a loud crash that deafens everyone in the auditorium. Then the lights went out as the curtains came down on my head. Now here I sit on the curb, an unemployed comedian, and I am a' rubbin' a rather large lump on me head!

The deception here is that ya never know when the boom might come down on your show. Critics are unpredictable and can get into every little cranny of your life, like tiny mechanical insects, like Star Trek nanoprobes everywhere on your body. Compare the borgs to the Kink Orange Pus Bag's Dunce Brigade, ICE agents.

Disregard the latter part; that was just a spurt of imagination. 😂🙃

NOTE: Anyway, everything bodes well. The dentist's appointment has been scheduled for tomorrow at 3:00 PM. I have enough spare antibiotics from some other malady; I cross my fingers and thank Creator G-d for that.

Mamdani rallies with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez as Democrats close ranks around NYC mayoral nominee

As New Yorkers cast their ballots in the city’s mayoral race, Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani sent a message to voters Sunday, asking them not to choose “settling for the lesser of two evils,” warning his supporters to not take his double-digit lead in the polls as a guarantee.

“While Donald Trump’s donor billionaires think they have the money to buy this election, we have a movement of the masses,” Mamdani said to a roaring crowd. Mamdani took the stage at a raucous rally alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, where thousands of people chanted Mamdani’s name and repeated in unison his signature proposals to freeze the rent, make buses fast and free, and provide universal child care...

“Any person who wants to the mayor of the city in New York, to have three people you probably have to work with the most” showing support gives Mamdani “momentum into trying to achieve his agenda,” -CNN- was told ...

CANADIAN NEWS:

When will Trump's tariff increase hit Canada? Not even he knows

U.S. president also says he doesn't want to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney

As Canadian officials scramble to find clarity on Donald Trump's social media post announcing a 10 per cent increase to what he called "the Tariff on Canada," the U.S. president himself appears to be thin on the details. Nearly two days after posting to social media the words "I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now," Trump has yet to say which of the various tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S. will be hit, nor has his administration given Canada official notice of any tariff hike.

Aboard Air Force One on Monday, a reporter asked Trump when he expects the tariff increase to take effect...

Carney pitches Canada as 'reliable' to ASEAN as Trump threatens more tariffs

Trump gets a flag-waving reception in Malaysia as Carney quietly presses Canada's case for ASEAN free trade

The old British wartime maxim “keep calm and carry on” was given a new twist Sunday at the opening of the ASEAN Summit as Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed South Asian leaders about the importance of “reliable partners who honour their commitments."

The subtle jabs were delivered against a backdrop of rising rhetoric and tariff threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, who promised to impose a further 10 per cent duty on Canadian goods in retaliation for Ontario government television ads that quote former president Ronald Reagan's criticism of tariffs. Carney has not responded substantively to the sudden, dramatic unravelling of negotiations...

Just a Little research for anyone who may be curious about, whos in charge of the process of launching nuclear missiles?

Who's in Charge of the Nuclear Code

In the United States, the President is in charge of the nuclear code, and this authority continues into 2025. The President has the sole authority to authorize a nuclear attack and is not required to consult with advisors before doing so. The Vice President is next in line to have access to the codes in case the President is unable to act, as per the Twenty-fifth Amendment.

Presidential authorization and authentication

No, other personnel do not need to enter a code for the President to order a nuclear attack; the President has sole authority to launch, but execution requires authentication and team efforts.

The President provides their unique "Gold Codes" and is authenticated through a challenge-and-response process with the National Military Command Center, and military personnel at launch sites use the authenticated order to confirm their roles in a two-person code to launch the weapons...

What do you think of an ugly orange Big Bird coo coo and the second in charge, coo coo number two? And Congress is no more than a flock of coo coos. Heck, who needs Bitcoin? This would be a good time to start manufacturing coo coo bird clocks.

🙏 Let us pause for a moment for meditation and prayer. Thank you. 🙏
