🧚‍♀️ TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning, everyone. I pray that you are all safe and well, blessed and guided by the Higher Power of your understanding to make the right decisions on this day. It's a cloudy, cool, grey Sunday morning. At least we didn't get those strong winds they were calling for, which is good; I'm getting rather tired of rearranging my Green Space after a dum-dum 🗿 wind. Now that I have my Green Space 🍃 all set up for the summer months 🌺🐝🌞 the last thing I need is one of those spring winds to blow away a lot of the loose pieces.

I have my garden set up to withstand the usual expected wind on our balcony, but it's the strong, gale-force early-spring winds I can't trust and have to watch for. Today's OK so far; it's almost flat calm out there. The Niagara Escarpment may have saved our butt again from bad weather.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

WASHING A TON

Washington, the Orange Pus Bag Kink of the Shmucarians in Shmucarica.

Washington is a place where ethics and empathy go to die.

WELCOME to the Kinks Castle, The Brown 💩 House on the Hill, and his servants, The Divergents, the Cluster F's, all the way down the ranks to the Dunce Brigade Gestapo. There's also the Den of Thieves, the Liars, and the backstabbing Congress. Can't forget these (‿ˠ‿)

Washing a Ton:

So it goes with Trumpo The Typo's regime change. Go to Washington to wash a ton of 💩 diapers only to create two tons before he even got on the bus, Gus. By the time he gets to Washington, he has three tons of 💩 diapers and four by the time he gets to the coin laundry, and so on; ya know, they multiply like his lies. His catastrophe spreads like a rash from bed bug bites; the bed bugs are the Republicans in general, if not all of them. They are like malaria or Covid-19.

THEY, REPUBLICANS, ARE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN, SO WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS IMPEACHED AND CHARGED WITH TREASON, AND HE WILL BE, SO SHOULD ALL HIS COHORTS BE IMPEACHED OR INDICTED, TRIED, AND FOUND GUILTY AS CONSPIRATORS OF THE SAME. Like malaria or Covid-19. SOMEONE or many SOMEONES<- 😉 the plural. We, the People, must find an antidote to this mental affliction that may be a runaway genetic disease 🦠🫟🧬🔬💉

Question: Genetic brain disease:

🔹AI Overview

Genetic brain disorders are conditions caused by gene mutations or variations—inherited or random—that disrupt brain development and function, often causing progressive neurological, motor, and intellectual impairments. Key examples include HHuntington'sdisease, Rett syndrome, leukodystrophies, and Fragile X syndrome.

• Types and Examples of Genetic Brain Disorders:*

Neurodegenerative/Neurogenetic Disorders: Conditions that often present later or show progressive decline, such as Huntington's disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia, and Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

• Leukodystrophies:

A group of rare disorders affecting the white matter (myelin sheath) of the brain, disrupting nerve communication (e.g., Adrenoleukodystrophy).

• Metabolic Brain Disorders:

• Developmental Malformations:

• Neurodevelopmental Syndromes:

Causes and Mechanisms:

Question: Can Genetic brain disease also bring about schizoid or psychopathic syndromes?

🔹AI Overview

Yes, genetic brain diseases and syndromes can directly cause or significantly increase the risk of developing schizophrenia (psychotic symptoms) and, in certain contexts, traits associated with psychopathy (antisocial personality disorder). These conditions are often the result of abnormal brain development, structural deficiencies, or neurotransmitter imbalances coded for in an individual's DNA.

• Here is the breakdown of how genetic brain issues can lead to these syndromes:

1. Genetic Brain Disease and Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is strongly linked to genetics, with heritability estimates ranging from 60% to 80%

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (DiGeorge Syndrome): This is a primary example of a genetic brain syndrome that causes psychosis. People born with this syndrome have a 20 to 30 times higher risk of developing schizophrenia by adulthood. This deletion causes significant defects in the white matter of the brain, which affects how neurons communicate.

• Copy Number Variations (CNVs):

• Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1):

2. Genetic Brain Disorders and "psychopath" syndrome (Psychopathy)

MY CONCLUSION:

This mental disorder seems to be unchecked, growing, like a rampant virus. Is it climate change-related? This strange phenomenon is not only restricted to humans, but also the denizens of nature, like the OUT OF PLACE bugs, birds, mammals, reptiles, and even the fish in the sea migrating to novel habitats, often closer to human populations.

Wild animals usually avoided or ignored us unless there was a reason to fear us, or we got in the way, well, very much the same reaction as we would if a shadowy figure showed up right in front of us in a dark place. First reaction: every hair on your body stands up at attention. An animal does too.

Now people have become vicious and attack people, both verbally and physically, for no apparent reason. We can't deny the aggressive behavior across all kingdoms of nature, even down to messing with the DNA of the plant kingdom at this time; all species in all kingdoms appear to be restless.

THINK ABOUT IT:

No more time for empathy, we are being blinded constantly by the lies and hate. Bad news after bad news, day after day, like no matter what, you end up shoveling 💩 into the wind and no light at the end of the tunnel. Just a fire hose of hate and lies spews from every nook, crack, and cranny, anyplace that has a speaker in it, from micro to macro, without a monitor or those with the large monitors like in stores, and you have the laptops, fixed desk systems, or cellphones.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE, MAN! Learn to live and cope with it, or learn to live in a cave. Give me my Earthship in the middle of the Amazon with swamps full of alligators all around, man!

OK, now Onto the news;

BREAKING NEWS:

Inside the mission to recover a downed American airman

Hiding alone in a mountain crevice behind enemy lines, the injured American airman knew exactly what to do: survive and evade.

For more than a day, the weapons systems officer whose F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down inside Iran avoided being captured by encroaching Iranian forces. At one point, he scaled the rugged terrain to a ridgeline 7,000 feet above sea level, equipped with little more than a pistol, a communication device and a tracking beacon.

It was into the high mountains that a team of American commandos, accompanied by US aircraft dropping bombs to clear the area, swarmed to locate the officer, bringing him and themselves to safety. Two US officials described the details of the risky operation afterward...

More than half way to the moon, the Artemis II astronauts grappled with a toilet problem

VIDEO | Included:

The four astronauts on the Artemis II mission currently hurtling through space have had a largely quiet journey so far. Very few in-flight issues have cropped up that could disrupt their peace of mind.

Except, that is, for the toilet.

The Artemis II crew’s 16.5-foot-wide (5-meter-wide) Orion capsule experienced a waste management-related problem that arose in the early hours of Saturday as Day 3 was winding down. “It’s an issue with dumping the waste out of the toilet,” Artemis II Flight Director Judd Frieling told reporters Saturday morning...

Trump’s expletive-laced Easter message to Iran: Open the strait or ‘you’ll be living in Hell’

“There will be nothing like it!!” Trump said, alluding to potential U.S. military operations. He added, “Praise be to Allah.”

VIDEO | Included:

Fresh off the daring nighttime rescue early Sunday of the U.S. airman shot down in Iran on Friday, President Donald Trump warned Iran, “Open the F—-n’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”

Just before 8 a.m. on Sunday, the president praised the crew member who was rescued and the special military team that got him safely out of Iran...

On Easter, Pope Leo urges world leaders to end wars, conquest

'Let those who have weapons lay them down!' the first U.S. pope said

Pope Leo urged global leaders in his Easter message on Sunday to end the conflicts raging across the world and abandon any schemes for power, conquest or domination.

The pope, who has emerged as an outspoken critic of the Iran war, lamented in a special message to the thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square that people "are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent." "Let those who have weapons lay them down!" the first U.S. pope exhorted. "Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace!" ...

Yukon man grows pineapple at home — and it only took 9 years

'If you're patient, then good things will come to you,' says Alex Oberg of Whitehorse

Alex Oberg is not the first person to grow a pineapple in the North, but he may well be the most dedicated. It took nine years, from when he first adopted the leafy pineapple crown that some friends had rooted in water, until he was finally able to bite into a golden, homegrown fruit.

"If you're patient, then good things will come to you," Oberg said.

'Fantastic' level of commitment:

"We don't exactly have the conditions that favour their growth."

Question: Is aggression genetic or learned?

All of the studies concluded that environment and genetics both play a complex role in the development of aggression, but their influence varies. Genetics generally has a substantial influence through childhood into adulthood across the board, but environmental and familial influence decreases with age. (Wikipedia)
