Land of Whispering Pines 🌲


Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you πŸ™


It appears it is going to be a beautiful sunny summer day again today. I really have no idea how I'm going to feel and how long before some pain in the arse shows up, like right now. My stomach is playing skipping rope, and I have the beginnings of a headache in my left temple, which I believe is my teeth, like it's trying to keep the same beat as the stomach. I don't need a crystal ball, but I can see a retinue of doctors in tiny rooms full of COVID-19 in my future.


Oh well, I guess as you age, you'd better be prepared to carry an extra suitcase just for your pills. You need to take a bucket of pills just to live a half-normal life. There's not much of a physical life after 80 years old. The only way to deal with the ailments is bull my way through, and while my mind is occupied, the pain goes in the background.


If you wish, please send me a HEALING PRAYER to get rid of some of this pain. I only ask to be fully active and have my faculties intact until it's time to go, and so I can finish my work here. It's hard to do if there's a constant pain in the arse or threats ot it.


Now For The Good News.


CANADIAN SPACE LAUNCH


NordSpace Planning Another Attempt at Rocket Launch in St. Lawrence by Mid-Month

Rendering of NordSpace's Tundra Orbital Launch Vehicle (NordSpace)


A Canadian space technology company, which is developing a commercial spaceport on the Burin Peninsula, is hoping to take another stab at Canada's first commercial space launch by mid-month. NordSpace, a company based in Markham, Ontario, made several failed attempts to launch its Taiga rocket from St. Lawrence in late August before the optimal weather window closed.


CEO Rahul Goel says they're ready to launch again as soon they get the authorization. He says that while it was disappointing that the rocket didn't get launched as planned in late August, but all the fail-safes worked as they should.

GOOD! They're not wasting time. I knew that someday we would be launching rockets from Canada. Especially after the UK sent their first successful rocket back a while ago, I never thought it would be this quick. This cake must have been in the oven for a while, but I've not heard about it before.


I did a quick research of all countries that have orbital-capable rockets listed below.


WIKIPEDIA:

Timeline of first orbital launches by country

This is a timeline of first orbital launches by country. While a number of countries, including. Canada, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Argentina, Italy, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, the Philippines, Egypt, Spain, Mexico, Thailand and Chile, have built or launched satellites, as of 2022, eleven countries, incl. the United States, Japan, China, India, Iran, Israel, France, the United Kingdom and South Korea, could send objects into orbit with their own launch vehicles. Russia and Ukraine inherited the capability of the space launchers and satellites from the Soviet Union, following its dissolution in 1991. Russia launches its rockets from its own and foreign (Kazakh) spaceports.

SO, it appears that the space program is still alive and well somewhere.


LET US PRAY:


Great Spirit, please be merciful to We, the People. We have been caught up in the meat grinder of this insanity. Great Spirit, save, protect, and guide the people of The RESISTANCE. Resist through prayer and action. Don't just think about it, do something. You, the people, are who will get things done, one deed at a time. AMEN! πŸ™

NATO shoots down Russian drones in Polish airspace, accusing Moscow of being ‘absolutely reckless’

NATO fighter jets shot down multiple Russian drones that violated Polish airspace during an attack on neighboring Ukraine early on Wednesday, as the military alliance denounced Moscow for “absolutely dangerous” behavior that ratcheted up tensions to a new level.


The operation marked the first time that shots were fired by NATO since the start of the war in Ukraine. Polish and Dutch jets intercepted the drones, with assistance from Italian, German and NATO’s multinational forces, officials said.


Russian drones were shot down in several locations across Poland


Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said there were 19 intrusions of his country's airspace, and that a "large proportion" of the drones entered it from Belarus.

Trump is okay with letting his DC police takeover lapse, White House officials say

President Donald Trump doesn't mind letting his 30-day takeover of Washington, DC's Metropolitan Police Department lapse on Wednesday, White House officials told CNN — mainly because he feels the city has taken steps to cooperate.


Those officials argued the executive order signed by DC Mayor Muriel Bowser last week, which calls for indefinite collaboration with federal law enforcement, achieves their goals without an extension that would typically require congressional approval.


Trump has previously vowed to push lawmakers to approve his continued federalization of the DC police force. But after Bowser's order, the officials said he has abandoned plans to pressure GOP lawmakers to take up such a bill, which would have required some Democratic support in the Senate...

In new book, Kamala Harris says it was reckless to let Biden make reelection decision on his own

“In retrospect,” Kamala Harris writes of letting Joe and Jill Biden decide on their own whether the then-president should have tried to run for re-election, “I think it was recklessness.”


That is the assessment that the former vice president makes in her forthcoming memoir of her abbreviated 2024 run, in a significant break from the dutiful stance she took toward her old boss throughout their time in office and since. “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the first excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday morning by The Atlantic. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”


Part of the problem, Harris writes, was a Biden team so committed to not helping her that she says it ultimately came at his own, and the country’s expense...

No oil pipeline on the list of projects of national interest

*No private company has raised a hand so far to develop such a project*


As Prime Minister Mark Carney's government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected, Radio-Canada has learned that no oil pipeline is on the list, according to three sources. "There is no [oil] pipeline project on the table," one of them said, despite the federal government's promise to make Canada an "energy superpower."


Carney has never ruled out the idea of ​​supporting the construction of a new pipeline.


"We have to choose a few major projects, not necessarily pipelines, but maybe pipelines: we'll see," he said on the French-language TV show, Tout le monde en parle, during the election campaign. The prime minister nevertheless emphasized the importance of reaching a consensus with the provinces.


Behind the scenes, a Liberal source insisted that the absence of a pipeline on the initial list does not mean that one will never happen. Approval of a natural gas pipeline project is also not out of the question.


Here's a look at some major projects Canada's leaders hope to fast-track

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲


Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you πŸ™


I was up at the crack of dawn, although I didn't feel too perky, but then I don't remember any time in my life where I was very perky any mornings when I was younger, primarily after waking up in a nice warm comfortable bed, like a chick in mother hen's feathers. Through the dreary, grey, cold months, my first thought on waking was "Are you kiddin' me? Get out of this bed? NYA!" πŸ‘…


Well, by the time I got around to resuming my intro and discussion for the day, the sun had arisen to bring a beautiful, bright, mild morning to my green space. Now I am beginning to perk up a little after absorbing my first cup of coffee. WOW, my cactus at the back of my throat was getting dry, it NEEDED COFFEEING, not watering!


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


How about a bit of psychology for this morning's discussion time?

SELF IDENTITY


- Google Search -

Self Identity:

In Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Identity refers to a person's self-awareness, including their unique qualities, beliefs, values, and how they perceive themselves in relation to others and the world. A healthy sense of Identity provides confidence, influences how individuals interact with their environment, and is essential for positive emotional and academic outcomes. Developing a strong identity is a core component of SEL, allowing individuals to manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible choices.


Now For The Opposite

"No self-identity":

Low to no sense of Identity can indicate low self-esteem, poor self-concept, or a weak sense of Identity. It manifests as constant self-criticism, feeling inadequate or unlovable, focusing on negative attributes, and struggling with confidence in daily tasks. Causes can include past negative experiences like bullying, abuse, or neglect, as well as current stressors like job loss, relationship problems, or pressure from social media. If you're experiencing this, consider practicing self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, focusing on positive aspects of yourself, and seeking support from a psychologist.


My own Diagnosis:

I felt isolated, in a crowd. Because I was different, I thought everyone else was superior to me; I knew nothing, excuse my French, Enfant dans la lune - English = Child in the moon. From my mom, that was a compliment.


Because I was on a different homing beacon than the others, I was the Dans la Lune child. I lived in a different world because this one lacked what I was yearning for: To know what Everything Around Me is about!


When I sobered up at the age of 47, that was when I began to learn what a self-identity was, and that there really was a power greater than me through The Program and any spiritual advisors or books I could get my hands on. I certainly made my amends and paid my debt in full for this cheap room in this HEARTBREAK HOTEL.

I know that psychology is like ten observers studying one object, and all ten will come out with a slightly different concept of what they observed about the specimen under study. πŸ™ƒπŸ€¨


- Google Search -

Different observers conceptualize the same object differently:


Different observers conceptualize the same object differently due to differences in their personal experiences, perspectives, and frames of reference. This can be explained by two main factors: first, observers are limited by their individual perceptual abilities and may focus on different aspects of the object or interpret the sensory information in unique ways. Second, in the physical realm, relative motion between observers affects their measurements of space and time, leading to different interpretations of an object's position, speed, and duration of events related to it.

Florida’s surgeon general said he didn’t calculate the costs of ending vaccine mandates in the state. But scientists have.

Florida’s surgeon general said Sunday that he had not weighed the cost – in terms of infections, hospitalizations or deaths – of ending vaccine mandates in the state. But scientists who have done those calculations say those costs may be high.


“Absolutely not,” Dr. Joseph Ladapo told CNN’s Jake Tapper when asked whether he had done any data analysis or projections of how many new cases of vaccine-preventable disease there would be if the mandates were lifted for everyone in Florida, including schoolchildren, as he proposed last week. “Do I need to analyze whether it’s appropriate for parents to be able to decide what goes into their children’s bodies? I don’t need an analysis on that,” he said...

  • Threats to vaccination rates:
  • Do mandates matter?:
  • Containment is difficult:

“The rhetoric and the dismantling of institutions or policies that promote vaccination will have a predictable effect,” he said. “And we’re seeing the results of that right now.” ...

Russian aerial bomb kills at least 24 civilians in rural Ukrainian village, government says

Kyiv, Ukraine

A Russian aerial bomb attack has killed at least 24 people and wounded 19 more in the rural Ukrainian village of Yarova in the eastern Donetsk region, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday.


Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky described the airstrike as “brutally savage” and “directly on people. Ordinary civilians.” He added that “such Russian strikes must not be left without an appropriate response from the world.” A video from the scene shared by Zelensky shows the horrific aftermath, with a number of lifeless bodies – wearing civilian clothing – lying on the ground. Some of the people in the footage appear to be older adults, and many look like they have suffered catastrophic injuries.


Zelensky said the victims were struck as pensions were being handed out in the village, which is only a few miles from the front lines. Pension payments are distributed, among others, by Ukraine’s postal service..

Federal immigration raids planned for Chicago and other sanctuary cities in the coming days after a weekend of warnings

Whispers of imminent immigration enforcement ricocheted across Chicago over the weekend as deportation efforts escalated in Boston and the nation’s border czar vowed a much broader surge in the coming days.


“You can expect action in most sanctuary cities across the country,” Tom Homan told CNN’s Jake Tapper, decrying as “problem areas” the next targets of the sweeping nationwide deportation agenda that helped propel President Donald Trump to a second term but Americans largely oppose. In tandem with those threats, more Democratic-led cities also are bracing for the Trump administration to decide – “over the next day or two,” the president said Sunday – where to further deploy National Guard troops to crack down on violent crime, a purported problem the White House sometimes has linked with immigration...

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you πŸ™


Hi! I was sitting here at my laptop on the kitchen table next to the sliding glass door overlooking my green space, my usual perch during the summer months.


I was sipping on my coffee, and this image pops into my mind: if you put the entire world on its stage as it is right now, the whole enchilada or the whole ball of wax, what do you have? #1: A very bad cartoonist drawing the script, or #2: A sadistic cartoonist's comic strip. Those kinds of comic books appear to be closely related. In psychology, it is called Paraphilic Disorder.


- Google Search -

Paraphilic disorders are recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are distressing or disabling and that involve inanimate objects, children, or nonconsenting adults, or suffering or humiliation of the person or a partner, with the potential to CAUSE HARM.


I can keep current with the latest in psychology in Psychology Today Magazine right here on the NET. I find the function of the human brain quite fascinating, especially from the conscious mind and beyond into the subconscious mind.


Well, it again appears I have already dropped all the eggs out of my basket on my way here. Let's see, I can backtrack to one of those eggs for the discussion of the day.


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


Ah, yes! Today's Divine Comedy.


DIVINE COMEDY 2025


Are Dante's Inferno and Divine Comedy the same?


Inferno (Dante) - Wikipedia

Inferno (Italian: [iɱˈfΙ›rno]; Italian for 'Hell') is the first part of Italian writer Dante Alighieri's 14th-century narrative poem The Divine Comedy, followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno describes the journey of a fictionalised version of Dante himself through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil.


THE QUESTION IS, if Dante's vision is correct, then in my opinion, humanity as we know it is about to fall off the precipice back down to a level or circle of Hell, or back to number one in the seven circles of Hell.


It's simple to change that conundrum from repeating itself, to keep from falling over the precipice. All you need is to grow a heart ❤️, care, love, protect, help, inspire, aspire, and be faithful to your actual being, the being of light within you.


I rest my case. πŸ™‡‍♀️ πŸ› πŸ’Ό Now on to the News πŸ“°

South Korean workers detained in Georgia ICE raid to be sent back to South Korea following negotiations, official says

South Korean workers detained during a massive immigration raid in Georgia Thursday will be returned to South Korea on a chartered flight following negotiations, an official announced Sunday.


“Negotiations for the release of the detained workers have been concluded, after swift responses by the relevant ministries, business agencies, and companies,” said South Korean Presidential Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik. “However, some administrative procedures remain, and once they’re completed, a chartered plane will depart to bring back our citizens,” he added.


The workers were among 475 detained Thursday during a large-scale immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant in Ellabell, Georgia, which houses an electric vehicle battery plant jointly operated by South Korea-based companies Hyundai and LG Energy Solution. About 300 of those detained are South Korean, officials said...


A spokesperson for Hyundai said in a statement Friday, “Hyundai is committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations in every market where we operate. This includes employment verification requirements and immigration laws.

Will RFK Jr.’s wrecking-ball approach to vaccines and public health lead Trump onto thin political ice?

As Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intensifies his drive to reverse decades of vaccine policy, the medical profession joins a growing list of fields and institutions facing unprecedented threats from the federal government under President Donald Trump. But this time the administration may have chosen an adversary with more capacity to fight back than the law firms, major universities and media organizations it has targeted so far.


To many medical professionals, Kennedy’s hostility toward vaccines represents the greatest threat to the nation’s public health system in memory. Medical groups fear that Kennedy’s wide-ranging actions — such as firing all the members of a prestigious advisory committee that advises the federal government on vaccine policy; narrowing access to the latest Covid vaccine; and pledging to soon release a study that will probably reexamine the widely debunked claim that childhood vaccines cause autism — will trigger a resurgence of deadly diseases, particularly among children.
