May Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning, all! I'm running a little bit late this morning. I overspent some time chasing a rabbit down its hole, and all I found was a dead skunk in the middle of the road. I kicked it a couple of times, but I didn't get any response other than the lingering aroma. So I went to Canadian Tire, bought a clothespin, put it on my nose, and went my way. SEE! I should be a Conservative politician, like Poilievre. " !" He's a wayward angel 👼 compared to his cousins, those LYING SACKS 🛍 of old vampire bat 🧛‍♀️🦇💩 Cockroaches 🪳 Dunce Brigade 🔺🔺🔺🔺🐘 their Republican cousins south of the border.

_*Well, that is not such a good way to begin the morning, now is it? I am really too distracted at the moment. I feel like the ball at a ping pong tournament. A Republican politician at the lectern, grinning like an alligator and sweating large beads of sweat while waving its tiny hand at the end of the forward right alligator-like appendage at an audience in an auditorium full of Dems. 🫏 ready to KICK ARSE!. 🐘 squeaks into the microphone, and this is when the tossed salad 🥦🍅🥗 begins to fly from the listeners

PRAYER OF THE DAY

May G-D - Great Spirit Bless, I pray that those in need are provided for, protected, and guided to your Sanctuary of Love, Light, and Healing.

Confucius:

"HEY! Confucius! Where the "H!" are you when we need you?"

Question: What is Confucius' famous saying?

🔹AI Overview

Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher, is renowned for wisdom on self-improvement, virtue, and learning. Famous quotes include

• "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop,"

• "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it," and

• "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Stopping I did stop a couple of times, but I decided it wasn't fun at the bottom of that hole of nothingness, being a nobody in nothingville. It got kind of boring, so I moved on.

Beauty in Nature It was during the moving on that I found the beauty, the color, and aroma of flowers, the colors and patterns on butterflies, a gurgling brook, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, etc. Birds, bird song, the buzzing of insects, peeper frogs, Mother Nature's orchestra, all are little gifts of nature, from Mother Gaia.

Falling: This one I am quite familiar with. Most of what I learned was the hard way, by my own choice, wrong choices. Looking back now, they were lessons. If I hadn't risen every time, I wouldn't be here writing this.

I would like to believe that I have accumulated a bit more of Confucius and less confusion in my life 🙇‍♀️💡 Thank you for reading.

BREAKING NEWS:

The world just smashed the emergency glass on oil prices. Now it’s up to Trump for a long-term fix

Dozens of countries have done the unprecedented, releasing an historic amount of crude from emergency reserves to prevent high oil prices from crippling the economy. If that doesn’t work, there’s only one serious option left: ending the war and opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Those nations this week agreed to send a record 400 million barrels of oil into the market to counteract choked-off crude supplies. It’s the equivalent of smashing the “break in case of emergency” glass for the oil market. That’s because this is truly an emergency. Oil has been stuck in the Middle East for more than a week, as Iran has threatened to attack any ship passing through the strait – a critical waterway through which a fifth of the world’s crude travels...

Iran’s new supreme leader says Strait of Hormuz will remain closed in first message to public

The oil market is also seeing historic disruptions as Iran escalates attacks on global energy supplies and its neighbors.

Here's The Latest

• Iran’s new leader: In his first message since becoming supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said the critical Strait of Hormuz will remain essentially closed as a “tool of pressure” and that Iran’s neighbors are being targeted due to US bases. The statement was read on Iranian state TV on Khamenei’s behalf. He has not been seen in public since his appointment.

• Oil shock: The International Energy Agency said the world is facing the “largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” President Donald Trump has downplayed soaring oil prices, arguing the US benefits from high energy costs. Trump’s energy secretary said the US Navy is not yet ready to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz as Iran attacks ships in the waterway.

• In Lebanon: Israel’s defense minister instructed the military to prepare for expanding operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hundreds have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced in renewed fighting...

‘Boom Boom’ US propaganda vs. the emerging Iran war reality

The US government doesn’t simply want Americans to support the war it launched with Israel on Iran; it wants to pump people up.

The bending of reality with propaganda videos to defend the Trump administration’s most controversial moves should feel familiar by now. Echoing the sensibility by which the Department of Homeland Security turned mass deportation into Hollywood-style action vignettes, the Pentagon, the White House and US Central Command are meme-ifying war...

• What the Trump administration wants you to see:
• Having ‘fun’
• A War II. The military released a video:

Carney heads to Arctic war games as NATO flexes muscle in Norway

Canadian officials say observing exercise will help inform domestic Arctic defence

Prime Minister Mark Carney will be in Yellowknife on Thursday before heading to Norway and the United Kingdom for meetings with allied leaders.

While in Norway he'll travel north beyond the Arctic Circle this weekend to observe NATO's massive biennial Cold Response training exercise, which is taking place against a backdrop of heightened international tensions, including the ongoing war in the Middle East between the United States and Israel and Iran.

Accompanying the prime minister to the military exercise will be his Norwegian counterpart and the chancellor of Germany. Both countries are backing a bid by German submarine-maker TKMS to sell Canada new subs, but senior government officials said Wednesday the multibillion-dollar program is not on the agenda...
