Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

I got up this morning, not quite fully charged. 🪫 Only 56.01% charged, my charger must have gone defunct, ya know, like the Flunky Medonti flunking skydiving class. But I'm feeling about as well as I can remember feeling something that resembles normal. Those fleeting moments, I picture in my mind the time I found a baby field mouse with no fur, shivering from the cold. I put it in one of those old wooden-match matchboxes, stuffed with cotton batting, with the lid half-closed to keep it warm. How comfortable, safe, and protected that little mouse 🐭 must have felt, I thought. I felt like I was the mouse. Empathy.

I wish I could feel like that again, instead of seeing the world through a smog-like haze oozing down around me in drooping, ugly colors. It gets to the point where it's hard to stay in the light; that's scary, one would think, but then I sometimes wish I could find a dark, quiet place to hide from the whole world as I used to when I was younger. I would sit where I felt safe in the bush. I do my best to keep the ability to mentally return there well-honed, as it seems to be the only defence and mode of communication I have with the outside world.

HUMOR: My sense of humor seems to work the best for me. That, and sharing my thoughts and feelings about the latest national and local news, breaking down the information as closely as I can into common parlance. I see humor like the decorations you put on the Christmas tree. I purposely manage to drag it through all of the worlds 🐴 💩 only in an attempt to tickle someone's funny bone and share a smile or a laugh, both of which can be hard to find on the Internet. I also think it's important to pray. My defence is my sense of HUMOR, which I keep honed to fend off that little Red Devil. ⚔️ 👹

Anyway, that's enough about me. There are bigger fish to fry, as they say. Why don't we begin with a couple of flappin' mackerels, eh? 🎏

Zohran Mamdani says he still believes Trump is a "fascist" and a "despot" after White House meeting

The New York mayor-elect said that while he does believe Trump is a fascist, he still plans on working with the White House on New Yorkers' behalf.

This news nearly knocked me off my chair when I first heard it, then it dawned on me.

Trump seems to have adopted something peculiar since that meeting. Trump is up to something odd, changing his appearance. Yet for some reason, the media doesn't seem to find it peculiar or important enough to publish.

A new fashion advisor? Or trying to change his image because he can see that his freight train with the crooked cross flag won't make it across the gorge to the other side before the bridge collapses? So now is the time to change the mask and put on a different act. Maybe in the form of giving in to the people by removing some of the damage he's done, and probably pointing his finger at someone else, making himself look like a hero more than a villain, like an arsonist who lit the fire, helping to put it out.

As for Zohran Mamdani, I don't feel any bad vibes from him. I believe he's telling the truth in the above article, maybe playing cat and mouse with Trump, or he learned somewhere how to speak Psycopath 😉 👍

Federal judge dismisses indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, saying Lindsey Halligan appointment was unlawful

A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday.

The judge found that the appointment of interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan in Alexandria, Virginia, was invalid. Trump handpicked Halligan for the role amid increasing pressure to bring criminal cases against his political enemies, including Comey and James.

“The Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid,” Judge Cameron McGowan Currie wrote in her Monday order...

Pentagon threatens to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to military service for court martial over illegal orders video

The Pentagon said Monday that it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired US Navy captain, in light of “serious allegations of misconduct” the department has received against him, and could even recall him to active duty to face a court martial or administrative punishment.

The investigation comes as President Donald Trump has been pushing relentlessly for consequences for Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers over a video they made reminding servicemembers of their duty to disobey illegal orders, calling their actions “seditious” and “treason.”...

Because Kelly was a senior officer who retired from the Navy, he is required to remain available for recall to the military by law. The other five lawmakers, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, are not eligible for recall to a military service.

In a statement announcing the review, the Defense Department seemingly alluded to the video...

Trump says ‘something good just may be happening’ in Ukraine talks as EU leaders discuss plan

This rubber duck museum in a U.S. border town has lost business. Now it's moving to B.C.

Museum in Point Roberts features 'culturally significant' rubber ducks, with one more than 100 years old

A rubber duck museum based in Point Roberts, U.S.A., is set to move to B.C.’s Tsawwassen Mills mall next month as owners say business has become unsustainable due to increasing tariffs and decreasing tourism.

The new location will only be about a 15-minute drive away from the current space — not even six kilometres as the crow flies — but an international border will separate the two.

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you🙏

I took my little nausea pill at 5:00 a.m. this morning, with the hope I could stave off the sick stomach ordeal. I thought that if I slept on it for a couple of hours, I would wake up feeling better and avoid wasting the entire morning on stomach garbage. It worked, but it still took an hour and a half before the stomach garbage faded away enough for me to think straight. It feels like the devil is possessing me, and he enjoys the Hell out of torturing me by poking me intermittently in the butthole with his fork to remind me, "So, SUFFER IN HELL!", ya little piece of sh-t.

🔱 ♨️ 🔥 💩  "Suferin Succotash!" 😸

The Ballad Of The Little Red Devil 👹

♪♫♭ "Oh me, Oh my," there's a toad in the hole in the middle of the road, Mrs. McToad was croakin', "Help, help! I'm stuck in a hole, and can't get out," she shouts!

As the Little Red Devil sang and danced joyfully,

"Poke, poke, poke 🔱 poor Mrs. McToad 🤶 in the butthole (‿ˠ‿)

With me, trusty fork! Says the little red devil." 👹

So here I hang my head and cry... ♪♫♭

At least I have enough energy this morning to sit up 🙆 in this chair 🪑 without feeling like I'm made of jelly and going to ooze 🫟 out of it onto the floor.

It feels like my stomach is the city garbage dump, 🔫 🐛 🧪 🫟 🚬 💩 🤮 🧱 🔩 ⚙️ 🧳 🛒 🛍️ 📦 🚯 🚜 and I have rubber legs and could sleep standing up. That's enough about my physical condition; it sucks, and I just pray 🙏 🙏 🙏 I will have enough strength left to get my teeth pulled on Friday. It's always two things or more that attack me.*_

First: in 2021, I got Covid, and GERD was acting up, then followed by a terrible flu on the tail end of the recovery from Covid. Then I got Covid again a second time in the same year, followed by another flu, thank Great Spirit, milder the first time. The last time, last year, was my GERD and appendix, both at the same time. This time, it's the flu, or GERD, not certain which is which anymore.

Second:

Now the Gerds possibly still have some flu along with the bad teeth problem, which should be enough to bring down an elephant, maybe a whole herd of them. None of it is contagious; it's all screwed up innards. Like somebody held a few boxing matches in there, and I got more collateral damage than the boxers. I don't really know the status of what my recovery will be, IF THERE IS EVER AN END TO THIS 💩 💩 💩 I pray it ends with the teeth, or I honestly don't want to see another day of 👹 🔥 Hell like this. Thank you for reading, and for allowing me to VENT! I needed it, and I feel better. At least now I feel like I had a chance to, in my imagination, grab that Little Red Butthole Devil by the legs and beat him against a concrete wall a couple of dozen times!

REDEMPTION

- Google Search -

Redemption is a multifaceted concept referring to the act of being saved or rescued from sin, error, or evil, and can also mean repurchasing something or paying off a debt. It is a significant theme in religion, finance, and literature, describing spiritual deliverance, financial transactions such as redeeming shares or bonds for cash, and a personal journey of making amends for past mistakes.*

I have studied much of the Bible's historical material, but I was never into the religious side of it. They were just ordinary people like us who had experienced and recorded unusual events, while adhering to ethical and humanitarian rules and regulations, essential for the survival of the species—the Laws of G-d and Nature.

The biblical writers didn't need to know every detail to provide a more accurate description. All was recorded in the scrolls of the ancients in such a way that the layman could not comprehend the written messages sufficiently to decipher the code—the code of the infinities within the written words themselves. But like any ordinary human beings back then, and now, we are not perfect beings, and many ancient texts were mistranslated and thus remain controversial.

TO REDEEM ONESELF

"To 'redeem oneself" means to succeed or do something good after a failure or a bad action, thereby improving how you are perceived by others or by yourself. This can involve taking action to fix a mistake, changing your behavior to be more honest and transparent, and making amends to those you may have harmed. It is a process of taking responsibility, learning from the experience, and changing to be a better person.

I love this one, and I do, Do What's Best! To the best of my ability.

As for past restitutions, what past restitutions? I'm probably one of the last of the Mohicans from the era of the baby boomers. Now for what's left of it, all I gots ta do is watch myself that I don't step on anyone's bone spurs.

—

Something in the US economy isn’t adding up, and it’s rattling the people charged with wrangling inflation and keeping the labor market intact.

US companies have sharply slowed their hiring this year, hesitant to invest without knowing the full effects of President Donald Trump’s sweeping economic policies. The economy lost jobs in June and August, and the average pace of job gains for the three months ending in September was only around 62,000, according to the Labor Department. Yet workers’ productivity, a key driver of economic output, remains high. And gross domestic product, which captures all the goods and services produced in the economy, has stayed robust.

That dichotomy of an expanding economy and a softening labor market presents a conundrum for policymakers at the Federal Reserve, complicating their efforts to determine whether the economy needs cooling or boosting...

Alberta food banks grapple with the high cost of free beef

Ranchers donate meat to help feed the hungry, but food banks cover the cost of butchering

There’s no shortage of beef in southern Alberta, but food banks around Lethbridge are looking for help covering the costs of turning donated cattle into meat they can dish out to clients.

Counties across the province this week endorsed a call for the Alberta government to restart a short-lived pilot program from 2014 that covered the associated costs of butchering, inspecting and packaging thousands of packs of hamburger given to food bank clients. During the provincial pilot, meant to develop a business case for the model, Lethbridge-area ranchers delivered 130 animals, resulting in nearly 17,700 kilograms of ground beef for four food banks in southwest Alberta.

Good day! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Well, it is 10:50 am, and the sun is trying to peek out from the grey clouds. Here I sit in the Newsroom, not sure where to go next. I took my time this morning, even sat outside in my Green Space for a bit, of course, with my coat on. It's just so relaxing to listen to the morning silence out there; all I could hear was a dog barking in the distance and a couple of little winter birds peeping at each other, and a blackbird cawed back somewhere in the trees across the drive.

As I sit here, I am thinking about how uncomfortable everything is after having lost 10 lbs. My clothes don't want to hang right, my fingernails and bones are brittle from all that stomach acid. I am now taking calcium tablets and a pill to help with its absorption and my bone density. So everything, physically, is sensitive. Just leaning my back on a straight-backed chair feels uncomfortable on the bones.

I also feel a sharp pain if I just brush against, not even hit, just brush a bony part against something, not even hard enough of a contact to be aware of it. Then I wonder where the bruise came from. So, I am more than ready to get those damned teeth out of my face so I can, at least, pray that I begin the post-dental healing process.

First on my agenda will be to build up my appetite and do regular exercise. But I can't do that if I'm a suffering, beaten, quivering piece of meat, scrunched uselessly in the corner of the couch like a frightened mouse. I can't regain the weight I lost. So to make it short, even when not in pain from the teeth or the GERD, I feel all those little discomforts, and also throw in the occasional bloating. I don't know where I'm a' goin', Ma, but it appears I'm going there in pieces.

Like ya will never get an elephant by the tail through the eye of the needle, backwards. You will have to deliver it on the other side of the eye of the needle, one subatomic particle at a time, or in very skinny spaghettified form 🫕 Or very skinny pretzels 🥨 But that little red pain devil sure has me preocupied a' dancin on those red hot coals. I shout, waving my fist, "Just wait until I get off this treadmill of coals! I'll git yer little red butthole with my meat grinder! 🥩 ⚙️ NO MERCY on that pain in the butt! 🏹 (‿ˠ‿) I'll CHASE THAT LITTLE RED 👹 PAIN IN THE BUTT WITH MY TRUSTY MEAT GRINDER🥩⚙️ from Hell through Purgatory backwards then back to HELL 🔥 again. Ya know, like Wimpy 🐽 🥩 ⚙️ 🍔 in the Popeye The Sailor Man Cartoons.

"L 👀NY TUNES, ♪♫♭ THAT IS!" Most of this homespun stuff about me is mostly, I pray, useful for the reader or just plain entertaining. I don't look for comments. If I get some, I appreciate it. But hearts, Views, and post reach mean a lot to me; just knowing someone is reading keeps me going.

As for the personal stuff: I am only sharing my feelings, thoughts, and emotions, like one would in a diary, my online diary, open to you. I share my opinions on what I know about current events, personal and national, which helps a lot in getting it off... as they say, off my chest. A pressure relief valve ⚙️ Above all, I enjoy informing and entertaining people, sometimes both at once. 😱 😁 👩 I have a blog full of the things I've shared over the years.

Text messages and a moved SUV: How the government’s case against a Chicago woman shot by a Border Patrol agent fell apart

A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

“It’s been hard,” she said. “I can’t sleep, but now I’m gonna go sleep.”

A judge – after an extraordinary reversal by federal prosecutors – had just dismissed the charges against Martinez, a United States citizen who was accused of ramming the vehicle of a Customs and Border Protection agent in Chicago before he shot her several times. The ruling from US District Judge Georgia Alexakis came after she repeatedly raised concerns about the handling of the investigation, including the revelation the vehicle of the Border Patrol agent who shot Martinez was moved 1,000 miles away after the incident and text messages showing the agent apparently bragging about the shooting.

‘Oh my God, this is our Tanzania’: CNN investigation shows police fatally shooting protesters, signs of mass graves

In the chaotic aftermath of Tanzania’s disputed presidential election last month, police and gun-wielding men on patrol shot at groups of protesters, many of whom appeared unarmed or were holding only rocks and sticks, a CNN investigation has found.

Geolocated videos from the scenes, audio forensic analysis of the shots fired and first-hand accounts from witnesses and victims document the brutality unleashed on young demonstrators following the re-election of President Samia Suluhu Hassan – who claimed she won with 98% of the vote on October 29 after barring her chief rivals from the presidential race.

Videos verified by CNN also support witness reports about the deadly toll of the post-election crackdown, showing morgues overflowing with scores of bodies. Additionally, satellite images and videos show recently disturbed soil consistent with reports of mass graves in the Kondo cemetery, north of the East African country’s main city of Dar es Salaam. Two human rights groups and witnesses interviewed by CNN say the bodies of protesters killed in the past few weeks have been buried there...

Zelenskyy says Ukraine may face 'very difficult choice' as U.S. gives deadline on peace plan

Ukraine may face a hard choice at a pivotal point in its almost four-year fight to defeat Russia's full-scale invasion, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Ukrainians in a national address Friday, pledging to hold constructive discussions with Washington on a U.S. peace proposal.

The U.S. plan contains many of Russian President Vladimir Putin's longstanding demands, including Ukrainian territorial concessions, while offering limited security guarantees to Ukraine. It foresees Ukraine handing over territory to Russia, something Zelenskyy has repeatedly ruled out, reduces the size of it army and blocks its coveted path to NATO membership.

Well, it's another beautiful spring-like day, and according to Accuweather, it's supposed to be more of the same for the next five days: sun and partly sunny in the 50°F to 60°F range, with moderate winds, like mid-springtime temperatures. I sat out there in my nightgown in the warm sun for a bit, sipping my coffee, absorbing the warm sun like an old lizard on a rock. 🤣 😂 I like lizards, 🦎 I also like toads, 🐸 and bull frogs, 🐸 🐸 they don't hurt anything.

Potentialities:

A potentiality refers to the inherent capacity for something to come into being, develop, or exist in the future. It describes an existing state of possibility, rather than an actuality, representing an innate ability or disposition that is not yet evident or realized.

Potentialities and Science

The term "potentiality" in science refers to the unrealized ability or tendency of a system to change, as seen in physics with potential energy or in biology with a cell's potential to differentiate. It's a state of possibility distinct from actuality, realized when that possibility is realized through a change in energy or form. The concept can also refer to the capacity of scientific fields themselves, like "scientific potential," which describes a field's ability to grow through research and innovation.

What are visions, seeings, premonitions, instincts, intuition, even the process of thinking the words 'foreboding, spooky, or scary' or feeling negative about something can and will upset your apple cart for the day, guaranteed, indeed, me dear. That also works for the positive side, too. The positive side is just a little harder to access because of all the negativity constantly all around us, like seagulls at the dock at lunch time.

The negative is constantly trying to put a damper on the brighter side of life by demanding 99.9% of our attention, blinding us so we don't have time to miss what we don't have. Life is just survival, like the folks in Gaza.

All of this fills me with feelings that just plain don't feel right, but if I don't listen to the inner voice, things usually don't come out very well or things begin to fall apart emotionally, then the worst happens "POOF!" like Cinderella's glass slippers, "GONE.". If our dreams are being stolen from us, then we are no longer free. *Dreams And Potentialities.*

For those who do get it, and your project turns out right, it's usually because you made the right decision, which led you to the correct conclusion. It is in the experiencing or feeling that you KNOW before the actual occurrence.

So, to varying degrees, it is inherent to the human senses, a part of nature. It only "then" depends on whether you believe in your inner being, what you feel and believe inside, and what you wish to know is already within you; it only depends on whether you BELIEVE and how much you practice it.

BREAKING NEWS:

Entering this week, the perception of America’s economy was overwhelmingly negative.

But after what, at least on the surface, appeared to be a stronger-than-expected jobs report and killer earnings from Nvidia and Walmart – all within the span of about 18 hours – is it possible the economy is better than anyone thought?

It’s complicated. Let’s break it down.

• The jobs situation is murky:
• Affordability remains in crisis:
• Rumors of AI’s sudden demise were exaggerated:
• So what does it all mean?:

Washington on tenterhooks for next steps in Epstein saga

The drama, emotion and shock of Congress’s sudden demand for transparency on the Jeffrey Epstein drama has ceded to uncertainty and suspicion that President Donald Trump will try to wriggle off the political hook.

The victims of Epstein, an accused sex trafficker, have tragically seen justice postponed before. They’d been quick to warn after an unprecedented Republican revolt against Trump on Tuesday that it was just one more step in their long quest for vindication. Their wisdom was obvious once the euphoria of their triumph began to clear.

Washington waited all day Wednesday to find out that Trump had signed the bill passed with a 427-1 majority in the House and waved through on unanimous consent by the Senate, which had no desire to be drawn into the president’s self-inflicted political crisis. The measure requires the Justice Department to release all investigative files, documents and other materials about Epstein, with some exceptions, within 30 days of it becoming law. It’s hardly surprising that Trump didn’t rush to sign it, since, despite his late embrace of the legislation, it repudiated his weekslong bid to keep the evidence secret.

Trump was in a box. Any presidential veto was likely to be overturned, judging by the congressional majorities for the bill. But now his Justice Department — in theory at least — is bound to implement it. Any foot-dragging or obstruction would certainly worsen already disastrous public disapproval of his handling of the issue and would only fuel the question that got him into his current mess: What is he trying to hide?...

CANADIAN NEWS:

Hoekstra accuses Canada of meddling in U.S. politics, says restarting trade talks 'not going to be easy'

U.S. envoy says Canada needs to 'seriously consider' its approach

"CRY BABIE 🐖 PIGY FACED HOESKSTRA!"

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra continued to lash out against the ad campaign that infuriated his president and abruptly ended trade negotiations while on stage in Ottawa Wednesday, accusing Canada of interfering in “electoral politics” south of the border.

He suggested that the timing of the ad amounted to foreign meddling.

“Targeting the president of the United States and his policies 10 days before an election, in a couple of weeks before a Supreme Court case would be heard … I'm sorry that does not happen in the United States of America," he said.

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good day! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

I am pretty sure now that I have the flu running around in me, as well as the GERD and possibly the teeth, too. After fighting with the package they put your anti-nausea pills in, I had to take my trusty sword 🗡️ (steak knife) out to stab at the package to open it, without squishing the pill. "Stab! Turn right? Left! Center! Pop Goes the Weasel, eh!

Ooops! Oh well, guess what? I won at the fencing ⚔️ competition with the package, alright, and I got three-quarters of what was left of the pill after all that fancy fencing! - " Touché!"

At least I spent some time outside in my Green Space; it's like early May out there today, and now I sit here feeling reasonably well. I just need to wait a little more for my fuel tank to fill the engine inside my brain again. I certainly hope it's not fouled spark plugs!

Anyway, since it's now 1:50 PM, I will be doing the news entry piecemeal between doing my usual obligations. As listless as I feel, I don't think I'll be adding on any extra commitments today, either.

I sat out in my green space ever since I left off here. It's now 3:00 PM, and it is still beautiful out there, like an early spring day. It's 50° F, but it feels more like the low seventies, 70° F out there in my green space, 🌱 with no wind and bright sunlight ☀️, and my artificial tropical plants 🌴 🪴 🌾and the astrorass really hit it off today 😆

I still feel the same way I did yesterday about today's news.

INSIDE JEFFEREY EPSTEIN'S WEB OF POWER, REVEALED IN NEW EMAILS

They are titans of industry and best-selling authors, world-renowned scientists and banking moguls, top-tier journalists and political power players.

In message after message, they often turned to the same man for advice, for connections, and to banter and trade gossip about President Donald Trump.

That man, Jeffrey Epstein, was already a registered sex offender after a 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution with a minor – but that did not seem to deter his pen pals, some of whom even looked to him for guidance on avoiding their own sexual scandals.

Those messages were laid bare in extraordinary fashion last week when the House Oversight Committee released more than 23,000 pages of records obtained from the estate of Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The messages have been heavily scrutinized for new revelations about Epstein’s relationship with Trump – and indeed, show that Epstein relished talking about their one-time friendship as Trump rose to political power, offering his opinions on everything from the president’s sanity “f***ing crazy” to who should be in his Cabinet...

In starkly revealing terms, the emails show personal conversations between American luminaries and a man they knew to be a sexual predator and yet still trusted for access, advice and friendship.

Trump claims slain journalist Khashoggi was ‘extremely controversial,’ defends Saudi clown... er. I mean, the crown prince 🃏

President Donald Trump on Tuesday angrily dismissed a question about the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi, claiming the Saudi dissident journalist was “extremely controversial” and insisting the subject was only raised during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to embarrass his visitor.

“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you liked him or didn’t like him, things happen,” Trump said in the Oval Office as he presided over a pageant-filled visit for the de facto Saudi leader.

Trump went on to insist Prince bin Salman — who the CIA assessed likely ordered the murder — wasn’t involved. “He knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that,” Trump said, turning toward the crown prince...
