🧚‍♀️ TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

May Great Spirit bless 🙏

I have been up since 3:30 am with an upset stomach. I got up, went out to the living room, and sat still, reclining on the couch for a while. It faded away as I rested, made the sign of the cross, and began crying.

Is it another flu bug this soon after the last recovery, just a couple of weeks ago? I believe another bout with that deadly flu will be the end of me; I just haven't recovered enough to fight it off, not at 105 lbs, I've got nothing left for it to take. I was scared. I just sat there and did nothing, didn't even move, just doing my best to relax, and it felt nice; with the lap blanket, I felt warm and cozy, and I drifted away for a while.

After some rest, I woke up and looked at the clock. It was 6:00 am, and I was beginning to feel somewhat better, so I scrolled through my phone for a while, made the coffee, and sat down again. I believe that was just a GERD attack; it seems to be fading now. There is still some nausea there, but quite diminished; just a plain discomfort zone now. And this is where I decided to get my mind occupied, and here I sit at my keyboard, ready to begin writing my daily Tree House News.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF

I am Not Really an Official News Agency of any sort. It's just me, a blogger, as publisher; my partner is my editor. I share my opinions and comments on world and local affairs. I'm a retired social worker and thought I might continue serving people by informing them as best I can by sharing the truth about daily breaking news, world events, and other man-made debaucheries 😲 Thank you for reading the 🏡📰

PEOPLE, YA NEED TA WAKE UP! Ya need to recognize the sheep from the wolves here. If you are so blind that you can't distinguish a wolf in sheep's clothes from a real sheep, especially Chief Orange Pus Bag's OUTLAW-MAKERS, MURDEROUS THUGS, and MASKED D.U.N.C.E CADETS. Be honest: you are losing your farm, your small business, you sold your car, your wife and kids left, the dog ran away, the house is being repossessed, and the cat pissed in your shoe.

Where did all the people who were fired from their federal jobs last year go? What happened to them? Living in tents on the street? No unemployment, no medical care, no FEMA aid? The shortage of shelters, the shortage of food banks, and it gets worse as goods get harder to get because of the high prices on account of tariffs, that's just for starters, TELL ME what's to like about this pile of ORANGE FECES? What in Hell did He do that was beneficial to anything? Now he wants to accelerate the country's pollution with coal again and pump for more oil. He's a narcissist, sadist, psychotic, demented old bag of a lowly thief, a liar, murderer, and back stabber, for starters.

This is the kind of person the Supreme Court would once have had jailed so fast his head would have spun. Maybe the useless Chief Justice Roberts and his gang of marauders, Thomas, Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Cavanaugh, should be run out of town on a rail. I would love to have a portrait of them behind bars, in the same cell as Trumpo The Typo; they can be bum buddies.

I HAVE ABOUT AS MUCH TRUST IN THOSE JUDGES AS DO TRUMP'S BRAIN, A CAN OF FLESH-EATING WORMS 🥫🪱🪱🪱

THEY ARE ALL EVIL PEOPLE THAT FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER ARE DETERMINED ON MAKING AMERICA A NAZI NATION.

This is as plain as though the print was chiseled in stone 🪨

If we, the people, let them, there will be no coming back. The system was a mess before, with theft exploiting loopholes and many outdated laws and rulings that no longer apply to today's rules and regulations. They should be updated, changed, discarded, or new rules added for better safeguard against the liars and thieves. But THE OLD SYSTEM WAS FIXABLE. How do you fix Nazism fused to insanity?

They all have the IQ of a MAGAt. If you can't be honest with yourself, then you are one of them, a zombie. I pray that when this insanity is over, We, the People, will have names and numbers of the thugs Trumpo turned loose on the American people. Masks won't do them any good to hide behind, either.

I'm glad I got all the house cleaning done yesterday; I believe today will be just another sit on my arse day. SO WHO'S THE BAD GUY HERE? You would need to be blind and dumb not to see that. If you don't, then your soul is well on its way to becoming not even worth a scum virus. All I can do from here is to get on my knees and pray that G-d expedites their Karma, like real quick, please! AMEN!

I also wish to thank you, *MS - Now* for all the productive news last night. And also Thank You to *Rachel Maddow* for all the good work of digging up the news we don't hear about throughout the week.

• Gathering in Germany: Overseas, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is attending the Munich Security Conference throughout the weekend, along with more than 50 members of Congress.

CANADIAN NEWS:

Cuba is pushed to the brink

Cuba has been facing rolling blackouts, food shortages, and rationed hospital resources after a month with no oil imports. The energy crisis has also been a major blow to the country’s tourism industry, as major airlines suspended service to the country.

The cutoff came after the United States severed the island’s access to Venezuelan oil in January, and then warned any country supplying Cuba it could face retaliation. The New Yorker’s Jon Lee Anderson has been reporting on the region for decades. He joins us to talk about how the Trump administration hopes this could end communist rule in the country...

Canadian physics professor steps back from job over Epstein questions

Epstein files place Perimeter Institute's Lee Smolin and other prominent Canadians under scrutiny

A highly regarded theoretical physicist is stepping away from the Ontario institute he helped found, after his ties to the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were revealed in recently released files.

Lee Smolin, an American-Canadian professor of physics and philosophy, has "agreed to pause his working relationship" with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ont., according to an email on Thursday from Perimeter's executive director, Marcela Carena. Smolin was a founding faculty member of the independent research centre, which is known around the world for pioneering work in quantum theory, and got much of its initial funding from BlackBerry co-founder Mike Lazaridis...

Files appear to belie Smolin's account:

THIS EPSTEIN STUFF IS BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE A PANDEMIC. Forget Covid-19, now we have The Epstein- 2026. Also sounds like some brand of Studebaker. I'll take the Studebaker, please!

You know, I used to own one of them when I was still living at the homestead. In the 70's, I had a yard full of playthings: boats, cars, a camper, a 25-ft trailer, a 25-ft cabin cruiser, a Volkswagen dune buggy, a hotrod made from a '58 V8, 400 ci Mercury, skidoos, ya name it... I liked to play, I still would if I thought I could.
