Land of Whispering Pines ๐ŸŒฒ

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


I would like to begin the morning by sharing a spiritual experience that occurred as I sat here, taking a sip of my coffee. I had just closed the subject on a Google Search about Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS. Then, like most mornings, before all the white noise of the day begins, it is customary for me to do a little meditation.


In my state of meditation, I feel a deep and longing affection for that place of peace and harmony, with its golden sunlight, lush, vibrant green plants, and stark blue skies, and there is life everywhere. It's a moment of happiness; a smile traces my lips, an innocent happiness, and inwardly I laugh with glee!


Deep down in my heart, I am thinking. The more the hatred grows out there, the greater that feeling within me grows; tears begin to stream down my cheeks as I awaken from my meditational state.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


AS EQUALS


I don't look up to my readers, nor do I look down upon them. I show respect to those who deserve it. When I look at the views or post reach, I am hopeful that the viewers were also readers, and if they read my postings, I pray they were my equals in understanding my analysis and discussions of the news and other world events. I don't really care if they are kings, queens, presidents, premiers, members of parliament, congress, rich, poor, aliens from another country, or aliens from outer space; whoever possesses a cell phone and reads my stuff.


When the people speak as one, they are one people and one voice;

*Equales - Oneness:*

"Oneness" describes the state or fact of being one, or united, which can refer to a philosophical concept of the interconnectedness of all things, a spiritual understanding of a single divine reality, or the idea of shared goals and interdependence in human relationships.

Scientific:

A scientific interpretation of *"oneness"* involves a psychological belief in the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things, which is associated with positive psychological outcomes like greater life satisfaction and empathy. On a conceptual level, it can also refer to isomorphism—the idea that seemingly different systems share a common underlying structure—and the fundamental interconnectedness predicted by quantum theory.


BREAKING NEWS:


Appeals court strikes down many Trump tariffs, saying he overstepped his authority

A federal appeals court Friday struck down many of President Donald Trump’s historic tariffs, saying he unlawfully leaned on emergency powers to impose the import taxes.


The International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize tariffs like the ones Trump used the law for earlier this year, the Federal Circuit said in an unsigned opinion upholding a lower-court ruling against Trump’s tariffs.


The judges noted that Trump’s unprecedented tariffs are an overstep of his power because the ability to impose taxes, including tariffs, is “a core Congressional power” that the Constitution grants to the legislative branch. The tariffs remain in place for now, after the court delayed implementation of its order until October. That gives the Trump administration time to file an appeal with the Supreme Court...

This year’s updated Covid-19 vaccines have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for adults 65 and older and younger people with certain medical conditions that put them at a higher risk of a severe Covid-19 infection.


Although federal officials have emphasized that people who want a Covid-19 vaccine can get one after consulting with a doctor, the narrower approval may limit access to shots for some people who were routinely able to get them in the past. Here’s what to know about getting an updated Covid-19 vaccine.

  • Who can get a Covid-19 vaccine?:


According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the conditions that put someone at a higher risk of severe Covid-19 include:


Asthma

Blood cancers

Cerebrovascular diseases

Chronic kidney disease

Some chronic lung diseases

Some chronic liver diseases

Cystic fibrosis

Type 1 and 2 diabetes

Gestational diabetes

Disabilities, including Down syndrome

Mood disorders, including depression and schizophrenia

Dementia

Parkinson’s disease

Obesity

Physical inactivity

Current or recent pregnancy

Primary immunodeficiencies

Current or former smoking

Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant recipients

Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62%

Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing 'significant headwinds' and 'significant impact'


The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.


After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban. During a conference call with investors Thursday, officials with Brown-Forman — the parent company of brands such as Jack Daniel's and Woodford Reserve — noted other pressures, but said the boycott is causing a "significant impact."...


Last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada was removing retaliatory tariffs on CUSMA-compliant U.S. goods, which included 25 per cent on American spirits.

Land of Whispering Pines ๐ŸŒฒ

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

Had some good old-fashioned heavy rain last night, not a breath of air movement, and only the sound of the raindrops. I loved it; it brought me to other times and places.


Life can be so wonderful when one is not feeling any discomfort; it's like heaven. So, I take advantage of doing things that I would otherwise find tedious and even laborious. Or if it's too much hurting, I just sit around like a twitching bag of pain. That hasn't happened for a while, thank the Great Spirit. I am doing just fine at the moment, like, "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰✌️๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™☀️๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ™‡‍♀️

Gabbard abruptly ousted CIA Russia expert days after Trump-Putin meeting

Shortly after President Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard abruptly ousted a CIA expert who had helped brief Trump’s team in the lead-up to the meeting, according to several people familiar with the episode.


By naming this person in a memo last week announcing she was revoking the security clearances of several current and former intelligence officials, Gabbard appears to have identified a CIA officer who was operating under cover, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter. Although the employee, who CNN is not naming for her protection, has been publicly affiliated with the CIA in the past, she was under cover at the time Gabbard named her in an X post, the source said.


A person close to Gabbard disputes that the employee was under cover, citing her past public affiliation with the agency...


Some details related to the CIA employee’s ouster were first reported by the Washington Post.

Former FEMA leaders have a warning: Lessons from Katrina are being forgotten under Trump

When Hurricane Katrina crashed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005 – first with heavy rain, then winds so strong they shattered glass in window frames and a flood that washed away everything in its path — the city was ill-prepared.


The waters breached the city’s levees, the concrete canals that were New Orleans’ main defenses. Floodwalls snapped under the pressure, spilling Lake Pontchartrain into the streets. Buildings washed off their foundations; the flood turned toxic with streaks of fuel; lifeless bodies floated by in the water as those who managed to break through the roofs of their homes waited desperately for help.


But that was slow in coming. A bungled local, state and federal emergency response to the hurricane contributed to the nearly 1,400 deaths, more than 1 million people displaced and over $125 billion in damages. After the storm, it was a second catastrophe...

Small businesses that relied on duty-free U.S. shipping wonder if they can survive without it

De minimis exemption ends Friday, hitting Canadian mom-and-pop shops hard


As of Friday, Canada's small businesses can no longer ship small packages to the U.S. duty-free — and some online sellers are worried that their companies won't survive the hit. The nearly century-old de minimis exemption, which in recent years allowed goods under $800 US to enter the U.S. without extra fees, is ending as a July executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump takes effect.


That means those shipments will now be subject to duties of up to $200 US, depending on the country of origin, and Canadian small businesses with American customers will be smacked with extra costs that eat into their profits.


For years, the U.S. government had expressed concern that de minimis shipments were being used to smuggle deadly opioids into the country, because they're not inspected as closely by U.S. Customs. It first suspended the exemption for shipments from China earlier this year, a policy change that hit big e-sellers like Shein and Temu...

Canada's economy shrank in the second quarter by a much larger degree than expected as U.S. tariffs squeezed exports, but higher household and government spending cushioned some of the impact, Statistics Canada said on Friday.


The GDP for the quarter that ended June 30 slowed by 1.6 per cent on an annualized basis, while first-quarter growth was downwardly revised to two per cent, the data agency said.

EU and Canadian boots-on-the-ground operation in Ukraine.

There's one that the Orange Pus Bag didn't know about. Trumpo wasn't expecting the EU to reject him. So now he may find himself alone in the cold without a coat, and there ain't no one going to give him a coat, not even Putin.


I have also believed and have read enough information from various sources, including books, old newspapers and magazines, declassified documents, and more. Now, Google searches and the numerous informative documentaries available on TV and YouTube have added to the knowledge I already possess.


So, my analysis is obvious; can anyone give me one good, valid reason why the EU and the United Nations would want to hold onto that Orange Pus Bag? That is the question. What would they want to hold onto a hot potato? Once the pin has been pulled, you throw it as far as you can, then take out the umbrella and duck!

RFK Jr. tightens grip on public health and vaccines with ouster of top CDC official

Politically engineered chaos is destabilizing the top of America’s vital public health institutions, as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tenure challenges the historic role of government in widening access to vaccines.


The ouster Wednesday of Dr. Susan Monarez as director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — less than a month after she was sworn in — deepened concerns about the role of Kennedy, who has a history of vaccine skepticism.

Fed Governor Lisa Cook sues to challenge Trump’s attempt to fire her, setting up a showdown over presidential power


Washington:

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is suing to keep her job on the board, which helps set interest rates, after President Donald Trump said he was removing her from her role earlier this week. Cook’s lawsuit, filed Thursday morning, asks for a judge to rule that Trump’s attempt to remove her is unlawful and that she remains an active member of the Federal Reserve.


Cook’s lawsuit now sets the stage for what could be a high-stakes legal battle with major implications for the Fed and the power of the presidency, even as Trump moves to consolidate his hold over parts of the government once considered sacrosanct and free from political influence.


The White House, however, said that Trump’s firing of cook was lawful.

  • Mortgage fraud accusations:
  • A line around the Fed… for now:

The president has the power to fire any Fed governor for cause, but it’s unclear whether unproven allegations meet that threshold.

EVALUATION:


- Google Search -

Basic Meaning For Evaluation:

In common usage, evaluation is a systematic determination and assessment of a subject's merit, worth, and significance, using criteria governed by a set of standards. It can assist an organization, program, design, project, or any other intervention or initiative to assess any aim, realizable concept/proposal, or any alternative, to help in decision-making; or to generate the degree of achievement or value in regard to the aim and objectives and results of any such action that has been completed.


In my personal view, the word 'evaluation' is to weigh out the actual difference between right and wrong, or the ability to feel from within, ❤️. What makes the difference is in feeling the diference in the weight of what feels right and what feels wrong, evaluating the process before begining the journey, by using the method above I discovered, that nothing never goes completley off the pressipiss, simply slow down and assess your situation, unlike, NOT evaluating what's ahead and hitting a bump, upsetting the apple cart altogether and losing your load of apples in the ditch, when all you had to do was slow down, so you can see the bumps in the road ahead of you.


If you cannot evaluate your own thoughts and feelings, Ethics and Empathy are on the chopping block, being reprogrammed and reevaluated by the ORANGE PUS BAG SUPREEM! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿคฎ
