TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May Great Spirit bless 🙏

It is back to being another wonderful spring-like day here at the Tree House, with a forecast high in the mid-sixties today. I believe we'll spend most of the day outdoors in my Green Space on the balcony. It's actually supposed to be partly sunny to mostly sunny, with temperatures in the mid-to-high 60s F. Up here on the balcony, with no wind and shielded on one side by a partial wall that breaks up a lot of the western airflow, it's relatively calm. And the reflected sunlight off the brick wall will make it feel more like the low to mid-70s. Bikini time? 👙☺️

I would like to take this moment to announce, perhaps a bit too early, that one thing we can be certain of is that this tyrannical regime will also fall, like every other empire has in history, when evil, corruption, and greed for wealth and power take over. I can only pray that we, the People, remain strong during this difficult time and that we stay alive and united in rebuilding our nations. Repairing the mess and learning a lesson from it will be documented and recorded in the annals of history. Personally, I would like to see a passing grade for our efforts. We Stand Together as One in Solidarity and Spirit! You and I are one.

Perhaps I am the only one at this moment, a writer of this life's book of history, and we all play a part in it; you are not alone! We are one, no matter where in the multiverse, wherever there is an intelligent species that thinks, knows, or is aware of what's right from wrong, and makes decisions. In the multiverse, you will no doubt be on the timeline from the Big Bang until now, and what about tomorrow? It is already written, but we still have to do the work to get there. We need to BEGIN WORKING NOW towards what we want in the future.

I know many of you probably find my writings a little too far out. Well, I write whatever the inner writer tells me to write. Until we can overcome the significant obstacle in the road, the Orange Pus Bag will continue to consume time due to its catastrophic effects on America and the world. However, we will eventually reach the post-Trump era. It won't last forever, and not much longer, judging by the way things are going. JUST WATCH THE PATTERN! Which way is the wave moving? I don't need a war map spread out on a table, pushing little toy ships and soldiers around the map in the War Room to know how a contingent plan of action works. YOU can't do that with a bunch of Crooked Sadist Dunce Cadet and Liars willing to kiss the 💩🏳️ in charge.

I believe that when we are at liberty to think freely again, we can resume working for the betterment of others. While we wait, I have a blog where you can be entertained or discover many things that you may not be aware of. I have many of them in story form.

Whatever I post on social networks is stored on this blog; in case you wish to review it, the link is included below. Thank you.

But for now it will remain as the TREE HOUSE NEWS

Democrats are winning the shutdown politics. Can they stop now?

After the 2013 government shutdown ended, Republican leaders made clear they had only been humoring Sen. Ted Cruz and his plot to defund Obamacare.

“It was not a smart play. It had no chance of success,” then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said. Then-House Speaker John Boehner initially said the GOP had “fought the good fight.” But he would later say the plan “never had a chance” and even called the Texas senator “Lucifer in the flesh...

Trade deals and $90 billion in tariff revenue: What’s riding on the landmark Supreme Court case kicking off this week

In just a few days, the Supreme Court will start hearing arguments in what President Donald Trump is calling “one of the most important cases in the history of our country.” With the bulk of his tariffs — arguably the cornerstone of his entire economic agenda — in jeopardy, he has floated an unprecedented appearance at the nation’s highest court.

The case will consider whether Trump had the legal authority to impose tariffs by citing a law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Trump used those powers to push import tax rates as high as 50% on key trading partners including India and Brazil and as high as 145% on China earlier this year.

Almost $90 billion in tariff revenue:

A Toronto-area doctor spent 10 days caring for a dying baby without pay. Here’s why she’s speaking up

Provincial government, Ontario Medical Association directed to find solutions to billing woes

When the OHIP claim for a newborn dying at a Toronto-area hospital was rejected, Dr. Jane Healey faced a difficult choice: forgo her pay or ask the grieving parents to go stand in line at Service Ontario. The baby died of a genetic condition after 10 days, Healey said. In the end, she decided against bothering the family.

“That means that we aren't remunerated for some of that very difficult, highly emotional work that stays with you,” she told CBC Toronto. And, Healey says she isn’t alone...

Doctors, ministry directed to agree on solutions:

Ontario is looking to expand what health-care professionals can do from pharmacists prescribing more medications, to new roles for optometrists, psychologists and dental hygienists. ...
