NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTARY

May Great Spirit bless 🙏

It's partly cloudy again this morning 🌥️, and the expected high for today is 37° F. That's not bad. The normal here for January is an average high of 40F and a low of 20° F. That's a high and low of +5 and -5 in Celsius. Compared to the Peninsula, it can be as low as -13° to -20° F (-25 ° to -29 ° C), just north of Toronto and south of Niagara Falls, especially in Buffalo, Ohio, and New York. It gets harsher than the microclimate here. I'll stay right here for now. You're gonna have to do the Grandma Clampet thing to move me from here. Like tie me to my recliner couch on the roof of the Jeep!

I like this microclimate; it reminds me of Tennessee, with its mild winters, except for in the hills. It's so pretty up there in the Smokies. Good morning, and G-d bless Morristown and Washburn, Tennessee. 😉 👩 💝 I wanted to know what it would be like to live independently out in nature, and I picked Tennessee to find out. That was an adventure, just my truck, camper, and me in the hills.

I built my own dock, cleaned out a space I called my yard, and homesteaded alongside a small river with the landowner's permission. Yeah, a small river ran through it.

The kids used to come a'sneakin' to get a peek at what a Canadian looked like. I looked half-Spanish and Native American back then, being in the sun a lot, even through late fall and early spring, in halter tops and bikini tops. The local kids knew Canada primarily through hockey games on TV; I must have looked odd compared to the hockey players. Long story. All those beautiful memories of the people and places I met and saw in those travels; my heart and prayers go out to them.

It's now time for the discussion of the day. Thank you very much for reading the Tree House News.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION

WHAT IS HUMAN STOCK?

- Google Search -

"My Question:" Are humans not of the same stock because of nationality and skin color differences?

From a biological and scientific perspective, all humans belong to the same stock and species, Homo sapiens [1]. Differences in nationality and skin color are superficial variations and do not reflect fundamental biological divisions.

• Here is a breakdown of why:
• Genetics:

Genetic studies consistently show that all human populations share the vast majority of their DNA [1]. The genetic differences between individuals of different nationalities or skin colors are minimal compared to the overall genetic similarity of the human species. In fact, there is often more genetic variation within a single population than between different populations

• Evolution:

Skin color is an evolutionary adaptation to different levels of sunlight exposure around the world. It is a polygenic trait, meaning it is influenced by multiple genes, and it evolved to regulate the production of vitamin D and folate. These variations are adaptations to the environment, not indicators of a different biological "stock".

• Nationality:

Nationality is a social and political construct, not a biological one. It refers to the country in which a person is a citizen. Borders and nationalities have changed frequently throughout history and do not correlate with a person's biological makeup.

On The Opposite Side of The Coin

Honestly, in my opinion, I believe that Trumpo the Typo, if his tertiary encephalopathic fried brain got a hold of this word, "Stock," he and his Butt Kissing Dunce Cadets and MAGAt followers would believe he was dealing with Human Stock like in *livestock,* so it's OK to slaughter stock. He then orders his Dunce Cadets to do his dirty work.

Remember what he said about demonstrators? Why not sh--t them in the legs? Now they came up with a better one, sh--t them in the face.

BREAKING NEWS:

Cuban leader says ‘no one dictates what we do’ as Trump tells regime to make a deal

Cuba’s leader has pushed back on Donald Trump’s demand that the Caribbean nation “make a deal” with Washington, as the US president warned that Havana would be cut off from the Venezuelan oil and money that it’s relied on for decades. “No one dictates what we do,” Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Sunday on X, responding to Trump’s insistence that the communist nation do a deal “before it’s too late.”

Cuba has long received massive aid packages from oil-rich Venezuela, but the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro during a US operation, and Trump’s announcement that Venezuela will turn over 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the US, is expected to leave Havana with an economic challenge. “Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela...

Why Elon Musk's Mars Plan is SCIENTIFICALLY Impossible | Brian Cox

12,831 views Jan 2, 2026 #BrianCox #ElonMusk #SpaceX

The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Mars sits 225 million kilometers away. Elon Musk promises a million-person colony by 2050. NASA targets crewed missions in the 2030s. But when you examine the physics, the biology, and the economics, a darker truth emerges: Mars colonization will not happen in your lifetime. Not because we lack ambition, but because the universe has rules that don't bend to dreams.
