TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Another one of those sleepless nights. I came out to the couch and got my laptop and commenced to do some research on a couple of things I meant to look up yesterday, but I just was not in any shape to do much except to nap away most of the afternoon and still felt like 💩 The good thing is, I don't need to leave the house to go anywhere for a couple of months. I pray for healing time. 🙏

I went to see the dentist yesterday, and everything was fine as far as the extracted teeth go, healing well. I mentioned the nausea to him, and he suggested Gravol. So now I'm taking Gravol; at least I get some relief from the nausea for a while.

A few days ago, I brought up the topic of What Was Before The Big Bang. I happened across a video of Michio Kaku that explains this quite eloquently, better than I could.

I wonder how long a person can drag themselves around with nausea and not eating? I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist on the 18th. Maybe I can get some answers then 🙏 🤞 If I'm not better tomorrow, I may take a couple of days to rest. If I do, I will drop a note to let everyone know.

I believe that is all I have to report from the Newsroom for this morning. Thank you for reading the Tree House News.

For today, I thought I would put the Kick Arse Boots away and find something a little more useful to do today besides kicking TRUMPO THE TYPO in the shinbones.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

"The God Equation"

2 Hours of MICHIO KAKU Explaining the Existence of God

Join renowned physicist Michio Kaku on an extraordinary 2-hour journey into the deepest mysteries of existence. In this comprehensive exploration, Professor Kaku reveals how string theory and the quest for the "God Equation" might unlock the universe's ultimate secrets.

Discover how Einstein's unfinished dream of unifying all forces of nature is now closer to reality than ever. Learn about the 10 dimensions predicted by string theory, the possibility of parallel universes, and what the mathematics of reality tells us about the mind of God.

From the Big Bang to black holes, from quantum mechanics to consciousness itself, this deep dive covers:

The God Equation and what it means for existence

String Theory's revolutionary insights into reality

Extra dimensions and the fabric of space-time

The multiverse and parallel universes

Black holes, wormholes, and time travel possibilities

What physics reveals about consciousness and meaning

The future of humanity and advanced civilizations

Why the universe is mathematically beautiful

Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about life's biggest questions, Professor Kaku's clear explanations and infectious enthusiasm make complex physics accessible and profoundly meaningful.

This isn't just physics—it's philosophy, meaning, and wonder wrapped in the language of mathematics.

Consciousness: Where does a thought come from? Where did the thought come from before it began its journey from the cerebral cortex through the synapses to the conscious mind, which is then formed into the spoken word? The time from thought to actually speaking the word is only a split second. But the thought's birth was instantaneous.

Do we have a pail full of the alphabet, and there's a little person up there picking out the letters from the pail to make the word? 😂That goes well with the old guy with the beard in the clouds.🤣

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump’s affordability argument just got the unlikeliest champion

The main reason Americans are upset about the economy: They are still adjusting to high prices that surged during years of runaway inflation that took place during former President Joe Biden’s term.

Inflation is no longer in crisis, so the best way to help the economy has been to cut interest rates to stimulate job and paycheck growth. Who said it best: President Donald Trump or his economic archnemesis, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell?

Within 24 hours, Trump and Powell each addressed Americans on key economic issues, including affordability concerns. They both discussed their preferred policies to help people’s financial prospects...

Pentagon did not conduct routine investigation on whether Hegseth damaged national security by sharing strike plans on Signal

The Pentagon did not conduct a routine investigation into the impact of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s disclosure of sensitive military information in a group chat on Signal earlier this year and whether it damaged national security – in part because Hegseth never authorized it, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

A classification review and damage assessment would typically be initiated following any unauthorized disclosure of sensitive defense information, in part, to examine whether sources and methods or ongoing US military and intelligence operations have been compromised in a way that would require mitigation.

Hegseth did not order an assessment, two former senior officials who were working at the Pentagon at the time and a current US official with knowledge of the situation said.

After the Signal messages came to light, Hegseth, instead turned his attention inward and focused on formally investigating suspected leakers on his own staff, even threatening to polygraph defense officials he believed were disclosing potentially embarrassing details about him, multiple current and former officials said. Those threats had a “chilling effect” among DoD officials who became increasingly wary of doing anything that could be perceived by Hegseth as an attempt to undercut him, according to those officials...

‘100 percent expect a damage assessment’:

A divided GOP forges ahead on health care message — without plan to address spiking premiums

Congressional Republicans are taking a major political gamble this week, laying out a GOP health care agenda that ignores the soon-to-expire enhanced subsidies that help tens of millions of Americans afford Obamacare — despite pleas from some in their own party.

Top Republicans didn’t come to the decision easily. As recently as last week, it wasn’t clear whether GOP leaders in either chamber would offer their own health care plans alongside a high-profile Democratic push to extend those Covid-era Obamacare subsidies. There are plenty of frustrated rank-and-file members still trying to convince Republican leaders to change course and offer a short-term fix for the subsidies. Multiple battleground Republicans are plotting how they can intervene, including lobbying President Donald Trump directly or potentially going around their own leadership to force a vote on extending the subsidies, multiple sources told CNN.

While they say Obamacare is rife with problems, they insist Republicans can’t simply allow huge premium hikes for millions of people – especially in an election year. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a centrist from New York, said her next step is to “appeal to the White House.”...

Water rescues, evacuations in Washington as rivers rise toward historic levels

What We're Covering:

• Relentless rain: Heavy rain from an atmospheric river is pounding parts of Washington and creating “potentially catastrophic” flooding that is forcing water rescues, some by helicopter.

• Evacuations underway: As many as 100,000 people in Washington face potential evacuations as the flood danger rises. Many are in Skagit County, where the entire 100-year floodplain has been ordered to evacuate.

• Records could fall: Several rivers in Washington hit major flood stage, the most severe level, as more than 10 inches of rain drained into the waterways. Some are still rising and threatening record levels.

Family physicians reach agreement in principle with Quebec over Bill 2

Deal would 'halt the disengagement and departure of Quebec family doctors,' FMOQ says

Quebec family doctors have struck a tentative agreement with the province, only weeks before the implementation of controversial reforms that threatened clinic closures and the departure of GPs to other provinces.

The Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec (FMOQ) announced the tentative deal Thursday morning. The two sides have been at odds for months over Bill 2, legislation that ties doctors' pay to collective performance targets. Hundreds of doctors have applied for a licence in Ontario in recent months, while many family medicine clinics across Quebec have said they would be forced to shut down next year.

In a statement, the FMOQ thanked Premier François Legault for stepping in to spark a negotiating blitz, in order "to halt the disengagement and departure of Quebec family doctors, and to increase Quebecers' access to family medicine. "...

Beef prices are soaring. Here's why Canada is facing record-low cattle numbers

High demand, drought, international trade, tough decisions on the ranch are all factors

If there is a small bit of positive news for those who love to grill a steak in the summer or enjoy a roast dinner during the chilly winter months, beef prices are expected to climb further in 2026 — but not by as much as in recent years. “The bad news is it won’t be going down,” said Mike von Massow, a food economist at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ont.

Beef prices are at record highs after climbing 16 per cent over the last year and up 35 per cent in October compared with the five-year average. The retail price of beef is expected to creep up again next year...
