Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Another day in our monsoon season ☔️ I awoke at 4:00 a.m., feeling restless in bed, and got up with the hope of tricking my stomach so it wouldn't vomit again this morning. I changed my morning pill regimen to Noon Time to see if that would make a difference. It's something as simple as a pill going down the wrong way that can cause me to choke, then everything goes down the toilet. So far, so good. G-d, I hope everything stays this way. It's 11:20 and all is well! It's like walking on thin ice or tiptoeing across the room so as not to wake the baby.

This is one ugly monster baby 👹 👶 named GERDs. I would throw this useless 💩 🧳 stomach as far as I could kick it with my army boot 🥾 in the (‿ˠ‿) into the largest garbage dump I could find. 🪰 🫟 🪾 🚬 🦠 🛍️ 🍯 ⚙️ 👾 🥔 🪵 💥 🚜

BREAKING:

Trump rescinds support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, marking a major political breakup

President Donald Trump announced Friday he is officially rescinding his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and attacked her in personal terms, while the congresswoman countered that Trump was trying to make an example of her to prevent the release of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The president's post marked a major political breakup weeks in the making – a dramatic intensification of a simmering back-and-forth between the two former allies, who grew apart as Greene criticized Trump on a number of fronts. It spilled into a messy exchange of blows as the controversy around Epstein again took center stage in Washington.

"I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene," Trump said in a post to social media, adding that Greene, who is running for reelection in 2026, has "gone Far Left." He added: "She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day."...

Daily Discussion:

Again today, all I see on the news are what I call 'air sandwiches' 🥪- a lot of talk but no action, or a lot of bread but no meat. Putin is still dropping bombs on Ukraine, Netanyahu is still not letting aid into Gaza, and Israel is still dropping bombs at their leisurely pleasure like handing out candy at Halloween. How sweet, you Mother Trucking pigs. Trump is still the trumpeting puke flute 🫟 🎷 all over everyone,

And every Republican in the House, the Senate, the Cabinet, and the megacorporations is bending their knee and saying yes, sir, no sir to a worthless pile of Orange Carion Meat. Each time they bend their knee, they disengage and lower themselves to the status of worthless, spinless slime balls like their master for human beings.

As for Canada, 🍁 BE WARNED!, we are still playing the independent province game; each province has a different set of rules, your rules don't fit mine. There goes the red tape and confusion of readjusting costs and prices at each provincial border, creating delays in processing commerce with one another and imposing tariffs on each other; can you believe that?

Would it not be so much simpler, easier, and less costly if every province had the same trade rules and costs?

Maybe we should examine Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution for advice to improve interprovincial commerce:

Section. 8.

The Congress shall have Power... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

It's time for the federal government in Canada to unify interprovincial trade regulations.

There isn't a chance in Hell that Canada will withstand this onslaught with America. It would be like Canada running all its communications cables across America to get to other countries, then someone in America decides to take an ax and chop the cable. Our trust in America is HISTORY. Trumpo the clown made sure he cut the rope that held our boat to the pier.

Allowing provinces to apply tariffs to incoming goods from other provinces is costly to our nation. This practice must end now!

If we don't pull together as one and fight for our independence as one nation, one people, we will never achieve independence. Alberta wants to secede from the confederation? They need to ask Quebec how that worked for them. It didn't.

On Epstein and Venezuela, Trump tries to rebrand

In need of a reset on multiple policy fronts, the Trump administration isn’t afraid of turning to some good old-fashioned rebranding.

Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate any Democrats who, like Trump, were Epstein associates and are mentioned in the emails. As the House moves toward a bipartisan demand for the FBI to release its Epstein files, Trump is trying to flip the script on what he’s now calling the “Epstein Hoax.”

Divers seeking lost shipwreck near Toronto find an even older mystery

The long-lost ship, possibly from 1800–1850, emerges intact beneath Lake Ontario

A Canadian dive team searching for the century-old wreck of the Rapid City may have stumbled upon a far rarer prize: a pristine shipwreck that could date back 50 years earlier than expected, offering a rare window into a little-understood era of shipbuilding. The "unidentified object" — first seen as a large anomaly in 2017 during a fibre-optic cable survey on the bottom of Lake Ontario from Buffalo to Toronto — caught the attention of Trent University archaeologist James Conolly, who was hoping to study an undisturbed wreck.

Based on archival records, the vessel was initially thought to be the Rapid City, a two-masted schooner built in 1884 and used as a stonehooker, until it was lost in 1917...

• 'I don't think anyone's been on it':

TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It's cloudy, rainy, and gloomy out. A few hours earlier, there was a flash of lightning ⛈️ followed swiftly by a loud thunderclap, but it has been quiet since. I guess that's a pretty good indication of what the weather is going to be like today: WET! 💦 by the 🪣

I won't be in the Newsroom long. I was sick all morning again. I don't know if this has any connection to my GERDs or my teeth, but whatever it is, it's slowly snuffing me out. In two more weeks, I will have my teeth pulled out. I pray that makes a difference, because as it is, life is not good, jumping from one pain in the butt to the other.

~ The resistance grows weaker as our freedom and democratic way of life, engaged in battle for the good of We, the People, wanes. The Force of Evil prevails and takes its throne in the battlefield of Hell!*_

We, the People, handed the crown to the Fat Orange Pig, THE TIN CAN GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, a rusted tin can at that, and his Dunce Brigade, the House and Senate, all eating from the Trumpo Pig Trough manufactured by Trump Pig Trough Manufacturing, Inc.

Lovely gifts for all his rich friends to eat out of in honor of The Orange Pus Bag of Bizarromerica. He receives "Squeals Of Appeals!" in gaiety and delight from a crowd of MAGAts

I may be somewhat mentally unstable, but my connection points still work pretty fine. I can still tie knots in my string as I go. I think Trumpo forgot how to tie a knot, never mind line up knots on a string.

For me, as an empath, it's natural to sense someone's feelings through their personality, mannerisms, facial expressions, and the emotions they convey. I can interpret the intentions and tactics used by a mentally disturbed person who cannot evaluate the feelings they copy and act them out. A sane, normal person tends to be more spontaneous in responding, without hesitation or deliberation, unless unsure what answer to give when questioned.

However, excessive awkwardness and deliberation over what to answer about something that involves emotions and feelings could be an indication of psychopathic behavior or alexithymia.

- Google Search -

Alexithymia:

People who struggle with feelings are typically described as having alexithymia, a condition characterized by difficulty identifying, processing, and expressing emotions. While they may not be able to recognize or articulate their feelings, they often still experience them, unlike apathy, which is characterized by a complete lack of feeling. Alexithymia is not a disorder itself, but can be linked to conditions like autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, and depression.

Serving as a social worker with mental health consumers, you get to know some of them quite intimately, like I feel what they feel, their feelings are superimposed over mine, or replace my own feelings momentarily with theirs. If someone asked me which I would prefer, reading minds or reading feelings, I would say feelings. Empathy is a much more intimate feeling than thoughts I couldn't touch. Anyone can be an empath if they are willing to open up to it and still come up with at least a minnow that will tell me what species of fish live in that lake.

That will be about it for me for today. Thank you for reading the News.

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Empath's Feeling & Perceiving. Feel It Then You See It:

Science Or Spirituality?

As an empath, I broke this down as simply as possible, using the concept of Feeling It, then visualising what I feel.

The micro world - can you imagine if there were other worlds with environments that used the same physical chemistry, but evolved differently? How about DNA containing different combinations of information, which decides what species will grow from a specific set of DNA strands that we can not be aware of, because it simply does not exist here?

However, each is composed of the same elements within its own "TEMPORAL World". It would be kind of hard to go any simpler than that unless I get into quantum and the biological world from its inception, and the FIRST single-celled organism, then repeated in how many different sequences, and how many different environments?

*Waves Or Bubbles?*

Now, about gravitational waves, shock waves, blast waves, and echoes; how many layers, and how many Big Bangs are there in what is called the fabric of time and space, which stands at 0, Zero molecular motion, at the temperature of Absolute Zero, 0 degrees Kelvin. All remains STILL until disturbed by an outside force, the tiniest source of heat, or light energy in the absence of any motion in the infinite fabric of time and space. I would need to immerse myself in the complex world of PHYSICS and quantum mechanics to begin exploring the Infinite Potentialities of heat, light, and molecular motion.

This brief explanation is as simple as I can make it, unless I delve into scientific terms to convey my train of thought on this topic today. I would hate to think of how many nights burning the midnight oil it would take in research just to explain the basics of that idea. 🤔

A very interesting topic of discussion, I must say: 🧐

Data centers are spiking electricity costs in Maryland. It’s the ‘tip of the iceberg,’ one expert warns

Nike Carstarphen’s electricity bill is rising, even when she’s using less power.

The Baltimore resident’s electricity rate jumped 20% from August to September, even though she had cut her usage 40%, relying on her air conditioning less during a milder month. She gets her power from Exelon-owned Baltimore Gas and Electric, whose prices jumped an additional $32 per month on average in September.

These higher costs are driven in large part by new neighbors in Northern Virginia: the world’s biggest cluster of nondescript, power-hungry data centers. Data centers have powered the internet for years, but with the rise of artificial intelligence, they are projected to need eye-popping amounts of power, along with costly infrastructure upgrades to deliver it. A 2024 report by the US Department of Energy estimated that data centers would use between 6.7 and 12% of the nation’s electricity by 2028...

The rocket was carrying two Nasa spacecraft deployed towards Mars. The Escapade satellites will take 22 months to reach Mars and will orbit the planet to measure its atmosphere and magnetic field. The reusable booster powering New Glenn also separated from the rocket's upper stage and touched down on a floating landing pad in the Atlantic Ocean, in a successful first for Blue Origin.

Interim Parliamentary Budget Officer takes aim at Liberal accounting, but says budget sustainable

Budget watchdog report says defining what is a capital expense should be left to 'an independent expert body'

Days before MPs are set to cast their vote on the Liberal budget, interim Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) Jason Jacques is calling the government’s accounting into question, suggesting there’s a less than 10 per cent chance it will stay within its deficit targets. Despite that criticism, the report contrasts with Jacques's September comments that Canada’s spending is “unsustainable” and “shocking”: he now says that according to the PBO’s own framework, the government’s finances, while tight, are sustainable over the long term.

The report saves its harshest criticism for the way Finance Canada changed the way it reports deficit financing by separating out capital from operational spending...

Desperate parents needing baby formula turn to online strangers as Canadian prices nearly double since 2017

Formula 'one of the most stolen food products in Canada... something is terribly wrong,' says researcher

Cassandra Shedden has sometimes had to rummage around her home, looking for things to hawk, just to pay for baby formula. The 33-year-old mother of three in Thunder Bay, Ont., describes the price of formula today as “gross.”

According to Statistics Canada, formula prices have climbed nearly 84 per cent since 2017 and about 30 per cent in just the last two years. "Sometimes you're trying to choose between bills and feeding your kids," said Shedden.

She added she'd make minimum payments on bills or try to top up her Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) money and other government income by earning a few extra dollars driving for a delivery service — all to ensure her baby’s bottle is full of formula and her children are fed...

That's about it for the 💩 💩 📰 for today, 🌄 thank you for reading The News.

~ Take a Break Time, kick my shoes off, then sit in my comfortable couch recliner with my cup of afternoon tea. I was sick again this morning, just the same as the world seems to be out of whack or out of sync right now, how people treat others as if they were worthless nothings.

I do get my feathers ruffled, but I never stay mad for long; it saddens and upsets me that people can be so cruel to one another. But I don't want to dwell on it for long; it hurts too much. I pray as I wipe away a latent tear from my right eye, not from the bad memories, but from the memories of past times when the sun shone brightly in my life, pleasant memories. The child within me is weary and needs to rest for a while. Seee you all later 👋 ❤️ 🌺~

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

I may not be sharing much news today because I thought this topic could be of critical value for someone. To give this topic at least an honest thought.

TODAY'S TOPIC:

Empathy & Indigo:

I began this argument back in 2000.

- Google Search -

None of the following is or has ever been a scientifically proven fact to be addressed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, used for the diagnosis of brain disorders. Psychiatric charts utilize a wide range of standardized descriptors to assess a patient's mental status, symptoms, and overall odd or different functioning than normal.

That's the problem with proving things that can only be felt within the person, "feeling it, then forming a mental image of the observed concept from what your imagination forms from the not just observed information, but also felt, like an octopus feeling the outside edges of its prey with its tentacles before squeezing. This process happens in the blink of an eye. Like the hero or heroin saving the child from getting run over by the bus, yes, an instinct, you don't have time to think, or twitch in your clothes, you have to react instantly. Don't worry about how? Not until it's already done.

- Google Search -

Empaths:

Empaths are highly sensitive individuals who can deeply feel other people's emotions, are often intuitive and introverted, and become drained by crowds and intense environments. They have a strong connection to nature, which helps them recharge, and they are also deeply connected to animals.*My feelings are finally attuned to all the details in the natural world that many can't see or feel.

My Personal Experience:

I didn't even know there was a name for anything like what I felt, except for ESP, extra-sensory perception. And if you mentioned that word back in the day, everyone would have looked at you strangely, as if they were expecting antennas to grow out of the back of your head.

So I kept it to myself and ignored it. Of course, that's another normal Trumpo the Orange Clown's reaction; shut it off! Like he pulls out his Colt .45 and shoots the TV. "That will fix the fake news," he says as he walks away, blowing the smoke from his six-shooter. Big Man! Then he disappears in a puff of dust, stage left, behind the curtains to wank like a nasty little sadistic kid.

"The announcer on the TV, on its dying signal, says, ' That should do it for the news tonight, folks." The announcer coughed and held his chest as the signal faded out. Then, the TV sits in the corner, spread-eagled, its screen shattered, spiderweb-like, with a hole in the center. Expectantly, I continued to watch with hope to see the spider 🕷 come out with its six shooters a blazin', as the smoke drifts lazily upwards, revealing the form of... "Wow! It's Spider Woman!" 🕷 👩‍🎤 The crowd shouts as she stands, statuesquely like a bright beacon at the center of the ruins of her enemy, who lies defeated at her feet.

At the bottom of the screen hung a relatively large tongue, lying limp on the floor, and a little arm sticking out from the side, with a small sign that read, "Ya Gots Me Boss!" That's OK in cartoons. I doubt AI could follow me in cartoon land, like Johnny Depp does. ☠️ about as dangerous as a stubbed toe.😄

I didn't begin to understand what empathy was, even though it was only skin deep, until I sobered up on my 47th birthday. 33 years of sobriety this year. Those 33 years have been the most incredible journey of my entire life—learning who I am inside, and what makes me who I am.

Some people attract animals. Anyone has the potential to be the flower for the honey bee, but they don't seem interested in visiting that part of themselves. They fear it, or they simply don't have it. I had a friend who loved all animals. She cared for stray and feral dogs and cats, and whenever I visited her place, they would flock around me. She couldn't understand why, because she fed them! Most domestic animals don't appear uncertain or show fear,

🐷 🐴 🐓 🦡 🐈 🐩 🦮 🐱 🦜 🐢 🐠

Not even the wild ones, such as birds, squirrels, raccoons, and skunks, etc.

🦔 🐭 🐰 🐿 🦊 🐮 🐦 🦆 🦅 🦉 🦝 🦌 🦨

The same with insects, even the stinging ones, but they don't sting, they just visit.

🐝 🐛 🐞 🐜 🪰 🪲 🪳 🦟 🦗 🦋 🕷 🦂 🪱 👾

Same with reptiles, they stop to visit, flick their forked or long, sticky tongues at you, just to look at you, then move on their way.

🦎 🐍 🐢 🐊 🐉 🦐 🦀 🐍 🦂 🐛 🐌 🐸

Animals, insects, reptiles, we have a mutual understanding: I won't hurt you if you don't hurt me. 🙇‍♀️

After all, I'm an Entomology enthusiast.

You may have heard of the Term Indigo Children.

Surely you already know what empathy and empath is?

Could the traits of an empath and an indigo be simply a by-product of the other? The same, just in a different evolutionary stage

- Google Search -

My own Observation on Empaths and Indigos:

Empaths and individuals with "indigo" traits share several similarities, primarily stemming from a high degree of sensitivity, intuition, and a strong awareness of energy and emotions. Many sources suggest that being an indigo often includes empathic qualities, creating a significant overlap in their characteristics... I can see where one could have borrowed from the other, and since the Indigo Children are relatively recent, there is nothing to prove scientifically except for parts of their traits having a similarity to those of the Empath.

- Google Search -

Empathy:

In a general psychological context, empathy itself is a real phenomenon, and some research suggests that how empathetic a person is might be partly influenced by genetics (such as the OXTR gene, which is associated with the hormone oxytocin)

- Google Search -

Indigo Child:

While many of the descriptions of "indigo children" include them being empathic, they are not the same concept. Empathy is a trait (which can be described as a spiritual "gift" in the New Age framework, or a psychological trait with a potential genetic component in a scientific one), while an "indigo child" is a specific identity within New Age beliefs, often associated with a mission to challenge existing systems.

Jeff Bezos-funded Blue Origin aims for Mars in the first big test of its New Glenn rocket

Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Amazon multibillionaire Jeff Bezos, is set for another attempt to launch its towering New Glenn rocket on a mission that will mark its first major test.

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Another cloudy, rainy morning, damp and cool, but that's okay. I'm going nowhere. I can sit in this lovely, warm room and look outside at the gloom, sticking my tongue out at it.

I feel much better than I did yesterday. I don't know what that was. Maybe I was picking up on all the negativity after the disappointment of the Democrats "caving" to the Republican Dunce Cadets. What appeared to be a capitulation by eight Democrats turned out to be something far less damaging. I might write about that soon.

Also, I forgot to do some math. It's a little over eight weeks until Congress must vote to fund government operations. If there is no agreement on funding, another shutdown may occur. I heard on MSNBC TV that the Dems could carry over the problem with the Obamacare tax credits to reduce the pain of the premium increases on its subscribers and reintroduce it in the next funding bill, which is on Jan 30, 2026

So it's not dead, for now, it is only lying dormant. The Dems now have a sleeping lion or a dead lion, depending on what they decide to do with this sleeping lion.

IF DEMS ARE NOT ASLEEP for the next eight weeks, they will have time to do something other than boost their image; it's already busted. For the Democrats, it should be like playing chess, studying the opponent, in this case, the opponent is none other than the Fat Orange Kink of Bizarromerica, the Land of the Slaves. The real trick is not just to cage. They must checkmate the Kink of Bizarromerica and identify the mastermind or minds, the engineers, and the puppeteers behind this crooked cross held by white men with crooked tongues, and see this crooked cross pandemic thing blow over.

Even then, which I doubt will happen that quickly, with the foot-dragging judges who will purposely go with the flow of the momentum to carry them over to the end of the statute of limitations, which will in turn carry us over the line, where everyone will feel the power of the crooked cross to varying degrees, not to mention some of who became victims of the epidemic of people falling off balconies.

In a new city, he tried to rebuild a sense of normalcy with school, friends, and a future he could plan for. That future proved to be within reach with the help of a Saskatchewan program allowing Ukrainian students who fled the war to pay the same tuition as Canadians. ...
