TREE HOUSE NEWS ๐Ÿก


Land of Whispering Pines ๐ŸŒฒ


Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you ๐Ÿ™


It's another beautiful sunny summer morning here at the Newsroom.๐ŸŒ„ The sun is just coming over the trees, and it is silent and peaceful, except for the occasional chirp of birds in the trees across the drive, a serene silence, and the warmth of the sunlight. If I closed my eyes, I feel I could be in another world. Perhaps a new, pristine, verdant world of peace and beauty like this one was in its beginning. Until someone drank the snake juice and then defecated all over it. *Tears ๐Ÿ’ง*


Fortunately, there are still small islands, remnants of Mother Nature's grandeur and beauty. I look at the trees across the drive, and if I close my eyes, I can see a different place, the verdant green of the trees and the bright colors of the blooms among the foliage and in the fields—the sparkling blue waterways under a pearly blue summer sky.


There is a light, refreshing breeze on my cheek, ruffling my hair. So pristine is this place that you can see the aura of the living things all around you, like in 3D movies. Then, from above, I see a mist of the Great Magica Falls that turns the valley far below into a world of vibrant, rainbow colors.

๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒน๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿชท๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’•

Then, a pain in the arse kind of ended that nice trip in imagination. Oh well, back to reality, I can only pray G-d makes it fewer Nutcase Fรผhrers on the face of the Earth on this day. I pray you all have a safe, productive, and blessed day.๐Ÿ™


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


Psychopathy

We have discussed the topic of the description of a psychopath.*-

*Psychopath:*


- Google Search -

The term "psychopath" refers to someone who does not follow the moral norms of their society and lacks empathy and remorse. People displaying psychopathy are callous, manipulative, and deceitful. They often commit acts of violence, theft, or fraud to get others to do what they want.


Psychopathy is not an official mental health diagnosis. However, some psychopathic traits overlap with the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), which is characterized by an ongoing disregard for the rights, feelings, and safety of others.


- Google Search -

Psychopathy:

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a collection of traits and behaviors that include a lack of empathy and remorse, antisocial behavior, manipulation, and a tendency towards impulsivity. Individuals with psychopathy often struggle to form genuine emotional connections, and their actions may be driven by a desire for personal gain or a disregard for the well-being of others, according to Psychology Today. While not all individuals with psychopathic traits engage in criminal behavior, psychopathy is associated with a higher risk of antisocial and aggressive actions.


Should a psychopath in power be detained for crimes committed?


_ Google Search -

Even if dangerous psychopaths are not insane, the state still can, and should, preventively detain them. The reason is that the state is allowed to involuntarily commit people who are both mentally ill and Dangerous to Themselves OR OTHERS.


Who do these symptoms apply to in the Senate, the House, and the White House? And the White House Gestapo, Dunce Brigade, and arse kissers? I never forget him in my prayers every time I suffer pain, ache, discomfort, or an itchy butt, I send to him in my personal withchery prayer routine through the day, otherwise I pray for those in need


BREAKING NEWS:


Trump is moving nuclear submarines following remarks by an ex-Russian president. Here are the subs in the American fleet

US President Donald Trump said Friday he was ordering two US Navy nuclear submarines to “appropriate regions,” in response to remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president and current deputy chairman of its Security Council.


In what he called an effort to be “prepared,” Trump said in a Truth Social post that he had “ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.”


The president did not specify what type of submarines were being moved or where to, and the Pentagon usually reveals little about any of its subs’ movements...

Confused about the economy? You’re not alone

If news about inflation, trade, the Federal Reserve and jobs has you confused and you’re not sure what to make of the US economy, don’t worry: You’re in good company.


However, this week provided a wealth of information that offered a more focused, if not entirely clear, picture of what’s happening with America’s economy.


We got reports on inflation, gross domestic product, jobs, and consumer sentiment, a Fed rate decision, and a flurry of trade announcements, all of which removed varying degrees of uncertainty about where the We got reports on inflation, gross domestic product, jobs, and consumer sentiment, a Fed rate decision, and a flurry of trade announcements, all of which removed varying degrees of uncertainty about where the economy has been heading.


If you’re just looking for the tl;dr, here are the big takeaways from this week:


  • America’s economy.
  • Consumers are still willing to spend their money.
  • Tariffs lower than President Donald Trump’s most aggressive threats.
  • Trump’s trade agreements may open up some foreign markets, but Americans will pay higher taxes.
  • The reliable job market is becoming less of a sure bet.
  • May not have to linger too long for long-awaited interest-rate cut.

FEMA plans to release nearly $1 billion in security funding after CNN report on proposal to slash it

FEMA Urban Search and Rescue work with LA County Fire Fighters look for any hazards to get the area safe enough for families to return and access the damages to their homes after the Altadena fires in Altadena on January 12.


The Federal Emergency Management Agency is making nearly $1 billion in disaster preparedness and homeland security funding available to communities nationwide, just one week after CNN reported on the agency’s proposed plan to slash the programs at the direction of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA.


In a notice sent to states Friday, which CNN obtained from one of the states, FEMA announced it is now taking applications for more than a dozen grant programs “making nearly $1 billion available to communities across the country.”


Just days ago, those grants were on the verge of being cut, according to internal memos signed by acting FEMA administrator David Richardson and approved by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, CNN reported last week...

The Eastern Energy Partnership: Atlantic Canada's big pitch for Carney's nation-building list

Premiers want projects to head off electricity crunch and help tie Canada together


On a gravel road by the side of the Trans-Canada Highway, New Brunswick's natural resources minister, John Herron, gazes down a long clearing cut through the forest.


He sees poetry — national poetry, that is.


Herron hopes one of New Brunswick's proposed "projects of national interest" will connect to an existing natural gas pipeline running under that clearing. "This is a nation-building project that checks every box," Herron says. The plan is to extend a gas line that now ends in Quebec City into New Brunswick to link with the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline beneath the minister's feet.

TREE HOUSE NEWS ๐Ÿก


Land of Whispering Pines ๐ŸŒฒ


Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you ๐Ÿ™


It's a beautiful, typical August morning, ๐ŸŒ… much cooler than it was, but still lovely and sunny. Sitting here next to my green space with the sliding glass doors open, ๐ŸชŸ I listen to nature's orchestra outside. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿฆ— I allow myself to drift for a couple of minutes while watching the steam lazily drifting up from my cup of coffee in the early morning sunlight.


Then a thought came to mind, and I wrote what I thought, *a stream of thoughts* of what was in my heart, expressed in words.


๐Ÿ™ G-D BLESS AMERICA ๐Ÿ™


Let us pause for a moment to pray and meditate for those souls in America who will be left swinging in the wind like an old, empty barn door with squeaky, rusty hinges. Vultures are everywhere in the scraggly limbs of dead trees, awaiting their meal. Brooding, dark, brownish-grey haze above, and the air is filled with the smell of decay among the rubble and smoke.


Will this land of a once-proud people see sunlight shining through the dark clouds of despair again? Only if one with compassion, empathy, and faith grows a spine and spreads their wings, and flies on high over the garbage dump that we, the people, have been ensconced in by the dominant elite. The Oligarchy


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


Most democratic media outlets widely acknowledge that they are uncertain or cannot guarantee they will still be operational in a couple of months or so. It only takes a few seconds for the Orange Lord Jabba the Hutt to choke someone's wallet to death.


It may come to the point where they, the government in power, no longer guarantee free speech or the expression of any ideas that go against His Orange Majesty's grain if you do not conform. It's the Labor Camps, Concentration Camps, or Extermination Camps for those who take the name of the Kink and Lord Jabba the Hutt in vain. The loyal may gain gainful employment in the Orange Kink, the Hutts' Dunce Brigade, ICE, or other organizations equivalent to Hitler's Gestapo.


I have already taken some measures in case of such a situation.

I will still have CBC and CTV, as well as our top newspapers, the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail. All four cover international news with reasonable accuracy in detail.


I already have an account with a few podcasters and news chasers like myself, who, in my opinion, are among the best informed. I also have a couple of news fact-checkers. There comes a time when you have to roll the dice. I'm not a good gambler, but I do pray that my faith and intuition will get me through the tough times, the Orange Jabba the Hutt's garbage dump. But then, I have always been a survivalist; if I weren't, I wouldn't be here typing this out.


Thank you for reading the News.

‘House is gone. Cars are gone’: Paul Whelan’s life one year after his release from a Russian prison

For Paul Whelan, returning to life in the United States after more than half a decade of Russian imprisonment has been “interesting” – and not without its challenges.


“You’re literally starting over,” he told CNN ahead of the one-year anniversary of the sweeping US-Russia prisoner exchange deal that secured his release. “For people like me who have come home after five-and-a-half years, we really don’t have very much. House is gone. Cars are gone. Employment’s gone. No health insurance,” he said.


His post-traumatic stress disorder gets triggered in hotel rooms, after he was “violently arrested” in one in 2018 while visiting Moscow for a friend’s wedding. It was that arrest on espionage charges that started his nearly six-year nightmare of Russian detention...

US job growth stalls: Just 73,000 jobs added in July, with ‘stunning’ downward revisions to recent months

The US job market slowed substantially in July and was much weaker than previously thought in previous months, suggesting President Donald Trump’s trade policy may be stifling hiring.


The US economy added just 73,000 jobs last month, and the monthly totals for May and June were revised down by a combined 258,000 jobs. The prior two months’ revisions were “stunning,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG, in an interview with CNN.


May’s estimated 144,000 net gain was revised down by 125,000 to 19,000; and June’s preliminary tally of 147,000 was slashed by 133,000 to 14,000, respectively, according to data released Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not run for public office because the system is “broken,” as she reflected on her decision not to pursue a gubernatorial run in California and spoke about what she views as “capitulation” by those tasked with guarding democracy during Donald Trump’s second administration.


In the former 2024 presidential candidate’s first interview since losing the election, Harris spoke about her career as a public servant, noting that when she was young she thought that people who want to improve or change a system should not just do so from the outside but also change it from the inside.


“That has been my career and recently I made the decision that I, just for now, I don’t want to go back in the system. I think it’s broken,” Harris said in an interview with CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”...

Canada 'disappointed' by Trump boosting tariffs to 35%, says Carney

Prime minister says 'historic investments' have been made into border security as Trump raises fentanyl again


Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent. "While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to [the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement], which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume," the statement read.


"The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs."

Not so good, weather-wise. The rain was welcome, but they can shove the crapy chilly temperature up their butt hole, whoever is in charge of the weather, BLAME IT ON TRUMP! It's no longer the Russians' fault; they're too preoccupied with bullying and massacring Ukraine. ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿช“⚔️ and Trump is too busy beating on๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ


TODAY'S PRAYER:

Let us take a moment for meditation and prayer, that this dark, brooding storm cloud over America, an America that is no longer recognizable as a democracy with laws and order, which is fast becoming *Bizarromarica*. Let us pray that this darkness may be lifted. And that this darkness doesn't spread over our side of the border.

Worms don't think, they just do what worms do—Kink Pus Bag's Dunce Brigade.


Politicians:

Under normal circumstances, it is beneficial to have two sides to a discussion, one to balance the other, and that should be the way these lawmakers should abide by the rules of the game. But it is not. Today, it's too much lying, backstabbing, and deception; now it has even come to attempted murder of opponents. They don't backstab you anymore; they choke your wallet to death.


You could even have a good yard sale on the greedy politicians who sold their souls to the devil for money. ๐Ÿ‘น You may get lucky and get their souls for a buck twenty for a fifty-pound bag of them at your local supermarket. That mindless, self-gratifying greed is probably the greatest pandemic we've had in recent history. I'm busy stealing mine, go steal your own.

Stocks open higher as Trump's tariff deadline looms

US stocks opened higher Thursday morning as traders rallied on Big Tech earnings and awaited President Donald Trump’s August 1 deadline for trade deals.


The Dow opened higher by 80 points, or 0.18%. The broader S&P 500 rose 0.8% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 1.3%. The S&P and Nasdaq hit intraday record highs. The S&P 500 is coming off two days in the red after previously clinching six consecutive days of record highs.


The benchmark index is up more than 3% this month and on track for its third consecutive month of gains. Markets on Thursday were boosted by Microsoft and Meta, which soared 6% and 12%, respectively. Wall Street was enthusiastic about their earnings results on Wednesday. Investors have cheered big tech companies’ spending on artificial intelligence.


“The stock market’s focus is finally moving past tariffs and onto more traditional drivers of stock prices, such as earnings and economic data,” Clark Bellin, president and chief investment officer at Bellwether Wealth, said in an email. Investors are largely betting Trump’s tariff deadline might prove to be more bark than bite. But that optimism will be tested these next two trading days...

- Google Search -

The energetic nature of oneness suggests that all things are interconnected and part of a single, unified energy field. This concept, found in various spiritual and philosophical traditions, implies that while appearances may suggest separation, a deeper reality reveals unity and interdependence. Oneness, therefore, can be understood as the fundamental interconnectedness of all things through a shared, underlying source of energy.

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you ๐Ÿ™


It's another beautiful, sunny morning. ๐ŸŒ… However, it was getting a little too warm after the sun cleared the tree tops. So, after having my coffee in my green space, I came back in and turned on the A/C. ๐Ÿ’จ My partner was up, so I had another coffee, and we had a conversation about some of the brighter things in life, as well as the world of the obscure, such as the idea that all of what we call reality had to be a thought. If something didn't think it, how could this reality as we know it be here? You know, the concept of the Trinity in time and space encompasses, as I see it, the Creator, Creation, and the Created. Most people don't discuss such things first thing in the morning. The cerebral cortex was at work until the sh-t hit the fan, and my train of thought went off the tracks into the swamp, after the news below popped up on my phone.

'I don't look for trouble': Canadian fisherman claims he was falsely detained by U.S. Coast Guard


A fisherman in Canada is prompting questions about the laws of Lake Champlain after a recent encounter on the water. 60-year-old ร‰douard 'Ed' Lallemand has lived in Clarenceville, Quebec for decades and has been fishing for even longer. "I'm not a troublemaker. I don't look for trouble," said Lallemand. "That's the only thing I do in life. I work, I love my wife and my kids, and I fish." On Sunday, July 20, the U.S. Coast Guard came across Ed and his boat and told him he was fishing in U.S. waters and that he was subject to customs boarding. Ed claims he was not and that he was hundreds of feet away from the point where the two countries meet.

The US economy rebounded sharply in the second quarter

The US economy expanded sharply in the second quarter as businesses dialed back on imports after stocking up earlier in the year to get ahead of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.


Gross domestic product, which captures all the goods and services produced in the economy, registered an annualized rate of 3% in the April-through-June period, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.


That’s up sharply from the -0.5% rate in the first quarter, which was the first quarterly GDP decline since 2022. Economists polled by data firm FactSet estimated second-quarter GDP to come in at a 2% rate.


Tariff-driven buying frenzies in the beginning of the year have made it difficult to asses the underlying health and direction of the world’s largest economy. In the first quarter, surging imports took a toll on economic growth, but that trend reversed in the second quarter as businesses drew from their existing inventories instead of importing, in turn boosting GDP...

Charging a soldier with terrorism may be a first, but Canadian military has history of extremism in its ranks

The alleged Quebec City militia plot puts Forces' uneven track record on extremism back in spotlight


Early on the morning of July 8, RCMP officers arrested four suspects — two of them active military members — in an alleged plot to form an anti-government militia. The Mounties maintain the group had stockpiled a trove of weapons, including dozens of firearms and 11,000 rounds of ammunition, as part of a plan to take control of a piece of land near Quebec City by force.


Three of the suspects, including one of the active military members, are facing terrorism charges. A judge will rule Thursday whether to grant them bail...
