Land of Whispering Pines 🌲


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


It's a great morning again, with the sun shining down on my green space, with only some of the normal discomforts one feels when just getting out of bed. Otherwise, my spirits are up, and I even began the morning with my partner, with my usual comic book outlook on life. Everyone needs to snicker in their coffee sometimes, eh! πŸ˜†☕

I wish it weren't that way, but this entire mess is as though I am watching a repeat of a bad movie. πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘Ί


Why is it all we hear about these days is the name Charlie Kirk from every news outlet, like he was a Royal or something, perhaps the future Kink of America in training?


PRAYER FOR THE DAY:


Let us all pray for all of those who have lost their lives to violent political ideology, which seems to weigh heavily on the right side, as the influencers of the propaganda that appears lead to more violent reactions. ... AMEN!


TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


LEFT WING?


What left wing? The democratic voice representing We, The People, stopped existing when they let that big, beautiful bill go through. They sold their soul to the company store.

That, and the law ⚖️ of the land kneeling to surrender to the Supreme Court's dirty feet of continued injustices, who in turn, are most obviously kneeling to Kink Orange πŸ’© Bag of Shmucmerica ✨🟰 😒 Not just the Supreme Court but also all of his dunce brigade can kneel and all nurse on his teeny appendage. "Boy,!" That appendage should be declared a saintly relic by the Great Russia Orthodox Archbishop in Moscow. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚


Have the best day you know how to have. Thank you for reading the news. *Saint Hood?* I may not be there yet, but I'm a workin' on it, Ma! Amen!

Trump endorses dramatic shift to the US economy

*New York*

In his latest bid to reshape the American economy, President Donald Trump has endorsed ending the decades-long practice of public companies sharing their financial results once each quarter.


Such a move would represent a dramatic shift aimed at combating short-term thinking inside C-Suites obsessed with pleasing investors but would also mean far less timely insights into the business world and the real economy.


In a Truth Social post this morning, Trump said companies “should no longer be forced to ‘Report’ on a quarterly basis” and should instead report results once every six months.


“This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies,” Trump said. “Did you ever hear the statement that, ‘China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis???’ Not good!!!!” ...

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


Well, it is another bright sunny morning out here in my green space. I was up at the crack of dawn feeling just as superb as an 80-year-old boat full of barnacles can feel while lazily a liftin' and a creekin' on the mornin' tide, let me tell ya, even that's quite a ride. You'd better hang on tight and ride it or fall off. πŸ˜‚


Otherwise, it's a beautiful, bright morning, and everything is silent and peaceful, with a blue jay singing; otherwise, it's SERENE out there. Sitting here at the kitchen table, looking out at my green space with all the greenery of the trees in the morning sunlight for a background, it does give the impression of living in a tree house in the forest. I can so appreciate it more without the physical discomforts. It is like entering into a different and better dimension, one of happiness and no aching butt hole. My entire body is just tingling with the warm feeling of the sunlight on me.

Dante's Purgatori:

*In Dante's Purgatorio,* the mountain of Purgatory consists of a series of terraces, not circles, and the first level encountered is Ante-Purgatory, where the souls of those who delayed their commitment to Christ or Christian life reside. These souls, including the late repentant and the negligent, must stay here for a period before beginning their purification on the seven terraces of Purgatory proper.


Following The Light in The Seven Levels of Purgatory πŸ›•πŸŽ‡


My Opinion or Personal Theory:


The entire process of human evolution, both physically and spiritually, and Quantum Physics. The next step up in the universal cerebral synapses, from there it will be like heaven compared to here, if we still remember here. Still, "all that is!" "information." It is stored in the infinite fabric of potentialities of time and space. Science πŸ‘©‍πŸ”¬πŸ”¬ Quantum Mechanics.


Back to Purgatory, I believe that, according to all the old texts I have read in part, it would take several lifetimes to decipher those old texts carefully. It is that we all strive psychologically and instinctively experience and learn, then to ascend or move on. Yearning in our hearts to explore, discover, learn, grow, expand, and most importantly, spread out into the infinite potentialities. πŸŒŒπŸŽ†πŸŽ‡☄️🟠✨🌏

‘It’s unacceptable’: Inside growing concerns about Patel’s FBI leadership

Stepping to the microphone at a news conference Friday morning in Utah, FBI Director Kash Patel wasted no time explaining what led to the capture of a suspect in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.


“This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,” Patel said.


Over the next six minutes, Patel lauded the work of the FBI in leading the investigation into Wednesday’s assassination and its coordination with state and local law enforcement — while also twice saying the decision to release photos and videos to the public, which led to the arrest of suspect Tyler Robinson on Thursday evening, were made at his direction. But Patel’s upbeat tone contrasted with frustration and anger, both inside and outside the FBI, over his handling of the most high-profile moment of his tenure so far. Some FBI employees told CNN they found it galling for Patel to claim personal credit for the most successful parts of the investigation...

People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It looks like a coordinated effort

Dozens of social media posts and messages about the murder of Charlie Kirk, including some that celebrated his death, are being spotlighted by conservative activists, Republican elected officials and a doxxing website as part of an online campaign to punish the posters behind the messages.


Prominent far-right influencer Laura Loomer, a US senator, and a site called “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” have all drawn attention to people who have posted messages about Kirk’s Wednesday assassination.


The campaigns show how social media posts or personal messages — even by accounts with few followers or from people who are not public figures — could easily be surfaced and publicized, and people’s personal information can be spread across the internet at a time when doxxing is easier than ever...

A key market data point is signaling fear about America’s economy

*New York*

While the stock market hovers near record highs, a shift in the bond market is signaling mounting concerns about the economy’s health.


A bevy of data this month showed the labor market is on shakier ground than previously thought. That spurred a rally in bonds as investors sought safe havens and ramped up bets that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this week. As bonds rallied, it pushed yields lower: The two-year Treasury yield this month hit its lowest level since 2022, and the 10-year yield hit its lowest level since April, when President Donald Trump announced an unprecedented tariff campaign that sparked fears of an economic slowdown.


The decline in Treasury yields shows markets are adjusting to the reality of a weaker-than-expected job market and expectations for potentially subdued economic growth...

U.S. outdoor group's application to use B.C. land sparks debate amid 51st state talk

People who live on Vancouver Island and some smaller neighbouring islands have been hotly debating an application made by an American non-profit to use B.C. Crown land for campsites while on kayak trips. National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), which runs outdoor expeditions around the world, is applying to renew — and expand — a licence the province says it has held since 2006.

The Arctic is heating up quickly, but scientists say polar geoengineering is 'unrealistic' and 'dangerous'

Study makes the case as to why the five most considered methods are not feasible


For years, scientists have been toying with the idea of artificially modifying the climate through geoengineering — especially in the Arctic, which is warming four times as fast as the rest of the world. The main proposals include artificially thickening sea ice, fertilizing the ocean with iron and releasing sunlight-reflecting particles into the atmosphere to reduce the sun's warming effect.


Though the feasibility of these ideas was always questionable, researchers are now saying in a new study they are certain they're a waste of time and money...

Ukrainian drones strike one of Russia's top oil refineries, sparking fire

Facility in Leningrad region produces close to 17.7 million tonnes of crude per year


Ukrainian drones struck one of Russia's largest oil refineries overnight, sparking a fire, according to Russian officials and Ukraine's military.


The strike on the Kirishi refinery, in Russia's northwestern Leningrad region, follows weeks of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure that Kyiv says fuels Moscow's war effort. The facility, operated by major Russian oil and gas company Surgutneftegas, produces close to 17.7 million tonnes per year (355,000 barrels per day) of crude and is one of Russia's top three by output.


More than three years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, drones have emerged as a key weapon for both sides. Multiple Russian drones crossed into Poland on Wednesday, prompting NATO to send fighter jets to shoot them down and underlining long-held concerns that the fighting might spill over beyond Ukraine's borders...

Mass psychology: Even putting myself as being a neutral bystander, standing outside looking in. I don't mean to wish or pray harm on any particular person, and I pray for those who thought they were part of his diaper brigade that got run over by a bus, just for following Trump's psychopathic, sadistic ideals. Fly paper was designed to attract flies, and when they get caught, they blame all their woes on the other flies stuck to the paper, on the other side.

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


It is a lovely, mild morning here in my Green Space, with cirrus clouds rolling in from the Southeast. I pray that the upper winds don't shift more from the east; if it does, we usually experience a change in weather patterns here in the Niagara Region. It often comes quite rapidly, even overnight. The jet stream typically drops from the north, bringing colder, wetter weather. When the jet stream goes north, warmer air from the southwest comes to our region πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯΅. Southwest πŸ₯΅ is what we are predicted to experience for the next couple of weeks. You know, the usual, Summer hanging onto a twig 🌱 on the edge of the dark, mysterious precipice of winter deal. 🌬 πŸ₯Ά


For today, it appears like it's going to be another typical summer day, and I am very grateful for that. And thank you for spending a moment or two with me as you read through the Tree House News.


Now, let us pause for a moment and pray, then take action. Help one another, VIVE LA RESISTANCE!


Today, let us pray for the not-so-fortunate survivors of human or naturally caused catastrophes. Please look after one another. Now, maybe it's time to bring back some of the old ways where neighbor helped neighbor as we did to get through the Great Depression. It's called being humanitarians.

Being a humanitarian means actively working to reduce human suffering and promote human welfare, often in times of crisis like natural disasters or conflict, by providing essential aid and advocating for dignity and equality. This can involve formal work as an aid worker, but it also extends to individuals who volunteer, fundraise, or campaign for justice, emphasizing a personal commitment to compassion and social reform. ...

I remember my mom telling me a story about when she was little, living on the farm during the Great Depression. It was not unusual for her dad to take in homeless people riding the freight trains and provide them with lodging in the barn. They ate at the supper table with the rest of the family, and he paid them for working on his farm. That's one example of helping one another, that and bartering. Maybe this humanitarian system can be applied in many other living situations until the Orange Pus Bag storm has blown over.


My Partner and I have a proposal package that we are working on together to present to you, the people, to consider putting into action.

ICE calls for removal of man accused of beheading another man with machete at Dallas motel


Police say Cobos-Martinez was cleaning a room with an unnamed witness as the incident unfolded. The witness told police Cobos-Martinez became upset when the victim, Chandra Nagamallaiah, used the unidentified witness to translate his request to not use a broken washing machine instead of speaking to him directly, according to the affidavit.


Surveillance video shows Cobos-Martinez leaving the motel room, pulling out a machete and attacking Nagamallaiah. After the victim ran, the attack continued outside – in front of the victim’s wife and son – both of whom attempted to intervene, according to the affidavit. After beheading Nagamallaiah, Cobos-Martinez allegedly placed the victim’s head in a dumpster.


Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a statement Thursday announcing it had lodged a detainer for the federal arrest and removal of Cobos-Martinez, whom ICE called a “depraved criminal illegal alien from Cuba.”


The beheading comes amid the Trump administration pointing at crimes committed by undocumented people as reasoning behind the recent immigration crackdowns across the United States.


Cobos-Martinez was previously held in ICE Dallas custody at the Bluebonnet Detention Center but was released on an order of supervision on January 13 “because Cuba would not accept him because of his criminal history,” according to ICE. CNN has reached out to the Cuban Consulate in the US to verify this accusation. ...

NATO launches ‘Eastern Sentry’ operation in response to Russian drone incursions

NATO has launched an initiative to reinforce the defense of Europe’s eastern flank after a Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace this week, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced on Friday.


The “Eastern Sentry” operation will commence in the coming days and will involve assets from Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and others, Rutte said. “Eastern Sentry will add flexibility and strength to our posture and make clear that, as a defensive alliance, we are always ready to defend,” he added.


Rutte said that Russia’s “dangerous and unacceptable” drone incursion on Wednesday was “not an isolated incident.”

“Russia’s recklessness in the air, along our eastern flank, is increasing in frequency,” Rutte said.


NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, said the operation, which will be “flexible and agile,” will include enhanced capabilities, integrated air- and ground-based defenses, and increased information-sharing among NATO partners.

Foreign hack of John Bolton’s AOL account cited as part of reasoning for searching his house


*The inclusion of the section about the hack indicates that it has become a key reason for investigators to believe Bolton may have violated laws that prohibit the unsecured keeping or sharing of national defense and classified records following his departure from the White House in the fall of 2019.*


The FBI’s search affidavit also discusses his public commentary about other politicians needing to protect classified records and his work on a manuscript in 2020 that he published that year as a deeply critical look inside the Trump White House. In addition to the new court record, a source familiar with the investigation has told CNN that intelligence related to the hack – collected overseas by the CIA years ago – provided the basis for the warrant to search Bolton’s house.


The US intelligence community believes Bolton’s emails had hallmarks of being intercepted by China, Russia or Iran, according to a source familiar with the matter. Of those three countries, Iran was considered the top suspect, the source said, though it remains unclear if investigators ever concluded who the exact culprit was...

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


Well, that settles it. I made the coffee and ate my cereal as I waited for the coffee, feeling much more alive today instead of like roadkill yesterday. After the coffee was done doin' its thing, I took a cup and went to sit out in my Green Space, with the early sun shining down from the top of the trees, it felt like Heaven.


My Personal Prayer For Today is: I need and deserve a little piece of Heaven in mind and body now and again, not constant Hate and Pain. Physical and spiritual pain is Hell. HATE, PAIN, and HELL are Satan's holy trinity in my opinion. For today, I am grateful and thank the Great Spirit for allowing me to be free from the torture table in Satan's dungeon, and I pray that my debt for any wrongdoings has been paid in full.

Why pesticides could threaten a MAGA-MAHA political divorce

Pesticides are a big business in the United States — a billion pounds of insect and weed killers can be used in a year, mostly to blanket acres of corn, soybeans, spinach, and wheat grown by America’s massive agriculture industry.


Banning or heavily restricting certain pesticides has been a core tenet of the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement, and supporters expected the Trump administration, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as its Health and Human Services secretary, to deliver. But a much-touted strategy report by the MAHA Commission — a Trump-mandated group led by Kennedy that is supposed to tackle the drivers of chronic disease in America — emerged this week with little to show on the issue...

You thought it was fall? A major pattern shift starts today

Anyone who’s drinking hot pumpkin spice lattes in a chunky sweater may need to rein it in for a little while. The crisp weather many in the United States enjoyed over the last week or two was just a sneak peek of fall: Late summer heat is making a comeback.


Temperatures will start getting toasty Friday afternoon, and by Sunday, over 90 million people in the central and eastern US are expected to have afternoon highs above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The jet stream will lift all the way into Canada this weekend across the eastern half of North America. When the jet soars north, it opens the gate for warm air to travel well beyond its usual early-September stomping grounds.

Popular support for more immigration has cratered. Politicians are taking note

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians support reducing number of new immigrants: poll


Canada's large immigrant population has long been regarded as a virtue — but new data suggests popular opinion on adding more newcomers has gone through a seismic shift after years of explosive growth.


For much of the last 25 years, immigration was something of a third rail in Canadian politics, with few elected officials publicly questioning its value. On that issue, too, there's been a major about-face. At the Liberal caucus retreat in Edmonton this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney put the immigration system on notice, saying recent levels have not been "sustainable" and a more "focused" approach is required. "It's clear that we must improve our overall immigration policies," he said...

Latest reports from June and July 2025 showing a significant surge in American doctors with interest in practicing in Canada


The most recent reports from June and July 2025 show a significant surge in American doctors expressing interest in practicing in Canada, with the Medical Council of Canada reporting a 718% increase in U.S. medical graduates creating accounts on their portal between November 2024 and April 2025. This trend is driven by factors including a shifting political landscape in the U.S. and the need for increased healthcare access in Canada. Ontario, in particular, has seen a rise in U.S. physicians relocating, with 261 U.S.-based physicians moving their registration to the province as of August 2025.

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲


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


It's another beautiful summer morning out there in my green space. I savor every second, it won't be around for much longer. I am sure that I will be appreciative to be able to sit in this chair without pain. Got enough problems with the stomach, I don't need a pain in the arse toothache to go with it. Too much pain for this tiny body. I pray that this is the end of the torture rack; I have had enough to pay for several lifetimes of sins. The only positive thing I can do while I'm suffering is to send prayers for the healing of those who are suffering, and there are plenty of them out there to pray for. Why suffer unnecessarily? Put it to good use.


TODAY'S PRAYER: Let us take a moment to pray and meditate for those who are suffering and for those getting chewed up in Trump's meat grinder. I like the guy about as much as I do my TOOTHACHE AND MY SICK GUT, but I leave it to the Great Spirit as to what Karma they shall receive. Let the Great Spirit deal with him and his MAGAt dunce brigade. I can only pray that whatever Karma the Great Spirit has in store for them is expedited BEFORE more people are destroyed.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:


Shooter still at large after Trump ally and activist Charlie Kirk was murdered on Utah campus


This comment was made by MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd yesterday, and it got him fired:


"Regarding Charlie Kirk, a devoted Trump ally, He's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or aimed at certain groups,"


Dowd replied. "And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in."


In my own opinion, it stands to reason that for every action, you get an equal and opposite reaction. That's science, to put it simply, if you throw a brick in a crowd, you get one back.


This comment drew so many demands from MAGAts for Dowd's firing that MSNBC canned Dowd due to his comments being "inappropriate."


There is no denying that this bunch of Republican henchmen, Dunce Cadets as I call them, REPUBLICANS MY ARSE, DUNCE BRIGADE MAGAts, are so obviously a bunch of sadist clowns. A man speaks the truth, and he loses his job, or Trump finds someone's wallet to choke. No wallet, no ID, and no money, you are a non-person. AND THEY BLAME IT ALL ON THE DEMOCRATS, when the Democrats are still so far off afield they'll have to call in an international agent to find where their ball went. They can't even squeak, let alone get in the way of the meat-grinding Dunce Brigade MAGAts, which are steamrolling them.


I don't know who Charlie Kirk is. I have never heard of him, so I don't think he's one of The Big Cheeses, but they are certainly making a big deal about him. What about all those who were recently killed in a school shooting? And these Mother Truckers want more guns on the street. Will more guns solve everything? In its last term, the Utah Legislature made it legal to carry firearms, openly or concealed, on a college campus.


Who was Charlie Kirk? What we know about the shooting and the suspect

Video of the incident shows Charlie Kirk speaking to a large outdoor crowd when a gunshot rings out.


Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist in the United States and staunch ally of President Donald Trump, was shot dead at an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday.


Video of the incident circulating on social media showed Kirk speaking to a large outdoor crowd when a loud crack, a gunshot, rang out...

UK fires ambassador to US Peter Mandelson over Epstein links

London

Peter Mandelson was fired as Britain’s ambassador to the United States on Thursday after his ties to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein became another unwelcome problem for the embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer.


Mandelson had been under mounting pressure over his relationship with Epstein after US lawmakers on Monday released a “birthday book,” compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, in which the veteran Labour party politician had penned a handwritten note describing Epstein as “my best pal.” Despite the revelation, Starmer forcefully defended his ambassador on Wednesday, telling parliament that Mandelson had his “full confidence.”

Double whammy for Americans: Inflation continues to rise as jobs outlook grows weaker

The cost of living continues to increase for Americans at a time when the job market appears to be on shakier footing, creating a complicated economic problem that could be tricky to solve.


Consumer prices rose 0.4% in August, driving the annual inflation rate to 2.9%, the highest since January, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday. The reading marked an acceleration from the 2.7% increase seen in July, with price hikes driving up the cost of Americans’ most basic needs. Grocery and fuel prices shot higher in August after falling the month before. Food at home prices rose 0.6% — the highest monthly jump in nearly three years — and gas prices climbed by 1.9% after falling 2.2% the month before.


The latest Consumer Price Index provided further evidence that some costs from President Donald Trump’s policies, such as sweeping immigration reform and steep tariffs, are slowly being passed along to consumers, economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, told CNN on Thursday...
