He chose poorly โ€” the tree was a John Birch. ~ SS

Not fit for polite Society, either, the way he slithered up that tree.

The tree is hard to identify on account of the blur, but if it were a Birch (well, everything's bigger in Texas) --

Tuesday: ICE agents waited below.

He's in the wrong country all right. ICE doesn't mess around. You can run but you can't slide.

Wednesday:

The regional government said in a statement that a large chunk of the Birch Glacier above the village had broken off, causing the landslide which also buried the nearby Lonza River bed, raising the possibility of dammed water flows.

Alpine village is largely destroyed when a Swiss glacier collapses

This also happened on August 21, 1955 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky!

I’m just glad they caught the son of a birch.

He chose poorly โ€” the tree was a John Birch.

A knotty problem but not all for naught, when a foreign citizen is tree-ted like that.
After ICE was kept frozen in the tray by that sap Mayorkas, this news is like maple syrup to my ears.

ICE is no longer just a dogwood tree whose bark is worse than its bite.

Pardon my rail-ing here but with 27 posts, one should expect a good de-fence.
I will branch out here and say that this guy needs to be flogged and logged into the crime control system. It's time to tar Tarzan.

He's lucky the local citizens didn't rip him from limb from limb and string him up!
That would really mess up his limbic system.
"Cursed is he that hangeth from a tree."

He really went against the grain.
No wallflowers needed. Except a begone, ya!
No wonder Trump is a Wall-nut.

Holy Smokes, here we go. You just watch. THIS is what I'm talking about all day every day. It's simply what rolls right off the tongue and keyboard, in real time as I check up on things as I go along. "Irritating" just doesn't quiet cover it.

"TL DR" for the win.

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but love never shuts up.

Blasphloemy!

AI is not human, and minus a soul it cannot be programmed to speak in Punish, the holy tongue. That's because Punish is intrinsically

full of holes!

Punish is not a programmable tongue. As anyone can attest, it can go off at any time. More importantly, in its words and sentences there is NO wrong, only RIIIGHT.

That's what sets it apart from every other language. Accept no substitutes! Those who do will be frozen stiff, swinging from trees. NOT an ICE way to go.

AI even bytes itself with its own bark. Vicious. Brutal.

AI even takes the bait and unwittingly incriminates itself --

Question to Google (as typed):

How is "house" spelled when transLITERATED into Hebrew?

Answer:

AI Overview

The word for "house" in Hebrew, when transliterated, is bayit (ื‘ื™ืช). It's pronounced BY-it, but often shortened to BAYT.

Then couched behind the "Show more" link is only this; bold is mine:

AI responses may include mistakes.

Q.E.D.

(In Punish there is NO wrong, only RIIIGHT.)

***

AI got it sort of quasi-right (even that's a stretch) when responding to this search:

house ื”ืื•ืก

Bold mine:

AI Overview

The Hebrew word "ื”ืื•ืก" (pronounced "ha-ous") is the word "house" translated into Hebrew. It directly translates to "the house" in Hebrew, with "ื”" (ha) being the definite article in Hebrew.

While the word "house" itself can also be translated into Hebrew as "ื‘ื™ืช" (beit), which means "house" in Hebrew, "ื”ืื•ืก" specifically refers to the English word "house" being used in a Hebrew context, often as a loanword.

The sentence "house ื”ืื•ืก" would be rendered in Hebrew as "ื”ืื•ืก" (ha-ous).

Same thing behind the "Show more" so I left it be on the copy/paste. As such, this information appeared directly below the "Show more":

House (TV series)

Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org โ€บ wiki โ€บ House_(TV_series)
House (also called House, M.D.) is an American medical drama television series created by David Shore for Fox. It ran for eight seasons from November 16, ...

And there you have it. The entire world needs a healing -- on the sly. It turns out that upon further investigation of this particular House:

Genre
Medical drama
Black comedy

Opening theme "Teardrop"
by Massive Attack[a]

[a] For international broadcasts and home media releases, the theme song is "House" by Scott Donaldson and Richard Nolan for season 1, and "House, M.D., Main Theme" by Jon Ehrlich and Leigh Roberts for season 2โ€“8.

***

...being used in a Hebrew context, often as a loanword:

Then by some stray spark, this verse came to mind out of nowhere. Well not really nowhere -- it came to mind in an escape from the "house of bondage" kind of way (The Big House is the very meaning of "Pharaoh", which served as a metonym for the entire admin/system, like saying "the White House stated.."):

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Naturally, I figured I should check for puns, zero-ing in on "my son". (Realtime, mind you -- I learn something new every day.)

It's all in the timing -- just ask a comedian (e.g. Moses).

mison

Piedmontese

Etymology
From Latin mansiล (โ€œabode, home, dwellingโ€).

Noun
mison f

house

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mison

Piedmont = "at the foot of the mountains"

Talk about timing. It's Sivan 5, the eve of the Giving of the Law on Mount Sinai.

But let's get ahead of ourselves and check the calendar:

Jews Accept Torah (1313 BCE)

On this day, Moses made a covenant with the Jewish people at the foot of Mount Sinai at which the people declared, "All that G-d has spoken, we shall do and hear" (Exodus 24:7) committing themselves to observe the Torah's commandments ("do") and strive to comprehend them ("hear"), while pledging to "do" also before they "hear."

https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=6/1/2025

***

Google Translate doesn't translate from Piedmontese, so I let it "detect language" for the entry of mison.

It said "mison" was Filipino, which turns out to be the neuter of filipรญn, so if you are still willing and able to Tagalong...

It translated "mison" into Hebrew as

ืžึฐืฉืึดื™ืžึธื”

MISSION. It's not the first time I'd seen the word "mission" suspiciously missing a letter. Years ago the "m" went UA over here, in this article about Joseph in Egypt:

At the outset, the Torah connects Jacob with Joseph. Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission.

Joseph From the Kabbalistic Perspective

And talk about timing, because just last night I had been directed to this exact Hebrew word on account of Maverick's new movie (it's the Mission in the title, "Is Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning Worth Seeing?").

The FReepstar to whom it was directed would know the references, so I didn't explain them to a general audience. Not like anyone would care to ask, as is the pattern of the cloth.

Here's the post, re Joseph, Moses...

ืžืฉื™ืžื” -- it's amazing what leaps out from a single "mission"

In any case,

Curiosity killed the cat, but Ingenuity brought him back:

The tora of the title, although literally meaning "tiger", is actually an abbreviation of a two-syllable codeword (i.e., totsugeki raigeki ็ชๆ’ƒ้›ทๆ’ƒ, "lightning attack"), used to indicate that complete surprise had been achieved.[4]

Tora! Tora! Tora!

๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

BECAUSE... if anyone could escape death, it be the Torah. The truth never dies. "Worse", it just keeps showing up uninvited like a bad Penny.

In fact, in the same year (1970), it was Oddball who explained how to take on three tigers (cf. Hebrew, Greek, and Latin), even though he started out with some negative waves:

"The only way I got to keep the Tigers busy is to let them shoot holes in me."

But he recovered:

"A Tiger has only one weak point. That's its @ss. You've got to hit it point blank and you've got to hit it from behind."

The last verse of the Torah:

Deu 34:12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

Tonight is the annual all night Torah reading marathon:

All-Night Learning

The Talmud relates that when G-d came to give the Torah to the People of Israel in the early morning of Sivan 6 (see "Today in Jewish History" for tomorrow), He found them sleeping...

(Run the race for the title deed!)

Punish -- BY-it U may know the Way,

(ha) being the definite article in Hebrew

Gotta laugh,

as if OS "ืื•ืก" were a word, when actually it's just the beginning.

For example, osmosis [ืื•ืกืžื•ื–ื”], pl, osmoses, in case anyone is asking where's this Moses fellow -- he should have been back by now.

Tomorrow is also the traditional date for the birth of King David:

And there you have it. The entire world needs a healing -- on the sly.

All anyone has to DO is to cry "Uncle", and

Bob's your uncle.

And in this day and age, he's even the new Pope.

(I'll let myself out. Come along, if you dare..)

I was hoping from the headline that an icestorm caught a little green man in a tree.
