13. Remember this is from Quora

… not medical advice … read for further exploration, then I’ll add one thing:

Lying down naturally increases the blood flow to our kidneys which ends up in the production of more urine than when we are upright. When we lie down to sleep at night time (only at night, not during day naps), our body produces a hormone called anti diuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone tells the kidneys to produce less urine than normal to allow us to have a more restful sleep without needing to keep going to the toilet.

The components in our body are kept to strict equilibriums using different methods. Even the slightest high or low of some components can be deadly. For example our pH is kept within strict limits using buffer systems, our calcium levels are regulated with the bones being a source and a store at the same time and our sodium levels are regulated using the kidneys and our hydration levels. If you consume too much salt (sodium chloride), you get thirsty to make you drink water to dilute the excess salt and the excess fluid then increases the volume of blood and hence increases your blood pressure.

The health risk of drinking too much water before bedtime comes from the dilution effect it has on your blood (risk of blood sodium getting too low) in the presence of ADH where the kidneys are stopped from being able to quickly get rid of the excess water. It does still end up creating too much urine which makes you go to the toilet but not as quickly as your body would otherwise get rid of the excess water to return to equilibrium. This is why people can die from drinking too much water too quickly (like in radio station competitions).

The reason why people with sleep apnea need to urinate a lot through the night, is because they are waking up so often throughout the night that their body doesn’t realise they are asleep and doesn’t release ADH. It’s best to stay well hydrated throughout the day and stop drinking fluids a couple of hours before bed. Tiny sips should be ok.

All right, take that apart, dear reader, should you be so inclined.

My explorations have told me good nutrition … meat based proteins … plus sips of water through the day, minus sugar … plus exercise suited to my age and condition … plus good sleep … plus having a project and feeling useful, being calm inside … plus keeping the body moving, then good rest, then moving again … is the way to go for me.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of the most outspoken women in the world.

Her bravery standing up against extreme Islam has seen her become one of the most hunted women in the world too, with multiple fatwas on her head.

But everything Ayaan does is about saving the west from itself: Woke ideology is the most dangerous in the world; multiculturalism has failed; our globalist leaders want to reduce us to rubble.

Ayaan will express the unspeakable, with the experience of someone who has lived extreme Islam, with all its dire consequences.

DOJ Delays Release of Biden VP Records, Extending Until After Election

The Dept of Justice (DOJ) has notified America First Legal, a conservative legal group, that Pres Joe Biden’s lawyers, along with representatives of former Pres Barack Obama, have claimed an extension that will delay the release of key records related to Biden’s vice presidency. The documents, which pertain to communications involving Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his brother, James Biden, will now be withheld until after the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

4. JH notes on the aforegoing, for what they’re worth

… scrolling down the page:

• Lekky price rises … we already know ours, they ain’t fun, I’ve paid ahead just to stay ahead.

• Tina Peters … this is nasty … this is also Bernie Spofforth … yes, the gals were less than careful to cover their backsides, they’re outspoken … they’re also right … and that last bit cannot be forgiven by the psycho machine.

Reminds me of Alisha Owens with the satanic abuse in the 70s … very real, was shown so … the machine framed it around her retracted “confession” and slapped another twenty years on her sentence or whatever it was.

Anyone recall who else retracted or refused to play ball? I mean female, not One Flew Over … yes … Sarah Connor and centuries sgo … Joan of Arc. The psycho machine always goes for easy targets, e.g. a near 80 year old man running for Pres and mouthing off.

• Alex M … it’s a reminder that we must know our sources, must explore them, not just accept them, Jenrick-like, without digging. We must figuratively get off our backsides and dig. Alex M … yes, chequered past, all sorts of vulnerabilities, now doing good work, unfortunate manner, also terrible thumbnail, gloating.

We know his bias, heavily pro-Russian, therefore pro-Iranian, forgiving of China, anti Nethan the Yahoo … I mean, night follows day, yes? Ditto with Levan in Moscow. Alex C is influenced by Alex M. US sources? A couple of the retired generals really.

Nothing wrong with bias, if a known-known, just collect various shades of bias and average or else select from. The one thing to avoid like the plague is “Fact checking” masquerading as “evenhanded” and “unbiased” … no human on earth is unbiased.

• HCQ … I have it every day in tonic. The good folk never claimed panacea, only effectiveness very early in being hit by lurgy … in my case, quite effective every time.

• EVs … hope DAD’s right, not only for stopping the premium on, say, NC lithium, displacing residents, but also stopping the whole windmill and EV replacement madness … mineral fuels (not fossil) are the way to go, ICE, plus some nuclear, maybe fracking, some solar, some ordinary Dutch barn style wind, picturesque, some hydro using rivers etc. A mix of sources.

”State and local election officials have made so much progress in securing voting, ballot-counting and other election infrastructure that the system is more robust than it has ever been, said Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. As a result, she said, there is no way Russia, Iran or any other foreign adversary will be able to alter the results.”

Before their response, my immediate reaction (JH) is someone called Jen in charge of something? Prime enemy Russia, Iran? How about Demonrats, Obama etc.? Part of their response:

“(Former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, Chris) Krebs was replaced after the 2020 election with Jen Easterly, a career intelligence official who served as special assistant to Barack Obama fromOctober 2013 to February 2016. She was also the National Security Council’s senior director for counterterrorism. After that, and before being sworn in to head CISA in July 2021, Easterly was global head of cybersecurity for Morgan Stanley.”

Not buying into the particular female at issue but it IS a major issue for gals on the whole … yes, men also struggle through diet and couch potatoing, but it’s not as critical for the male … we have other things we worry about more.

It was especially an issue in Slavic countries where the girls were competing far more for war depleted male stocks, not eternally sozzled. In the 90s, the west infiltrated and my Russian mate and I were at a shopping mall, one of the new ones, and there were girls with stomach over their belts, whereas even in my time there, you would never have seen that. Apparently it was a sign of rich man’s daughter in the new young culture … many of my older female students were quite scathing about the younger sisses.

10. Helper Ryan Tyre testimony on FEMA

If you are wondering why citizens are being turned away that are coming to help NC and TN – you’ll want to hear my experience as someone who has been doing this as a private citizen for almost a decade. I was able to get into, and out of Asheville. We brought food, water, fuel and other supplies as well as helped people affected by the floods, but there are reasons why they are not allowing outside help. I cannot confirm the reasons why in NC, but i can tell you the reasons in other storms i have worked – i’ll explain below.

Let me share with you the first disaster area that i finally realized that this was all about money. In the FL Keys with Hurricane Irma, after Texas got hit with Harvey, we finished our efforts in Texas and were the first citizen team to make it to Key Largo. The federal agencies had US1 shut down just South of Key Largo and wouldn’t let anyone in or out, even though the road was okay to pass. We explained to them that we had boats, Jet skis, food, water, chainsaws and fuel to bring these people.

They didn’t care and wouldn’t let us in. It was night by that point and you rarely saw the lights of vehicles in the distance on the individual keys, meaning the emergency response teams from FEMA weren’t even working, it was all quiet. We decided that we would go in anyways.

We filled up the boats and jet skis with all that we could reasonably carry and went by water, around all their BS blockades and around their law enforcement presence on the water. It was 87 miles by water to get to our first stop, Cudjoe Key and Sugarloaf Key. When we arrived there we were greeted by a homeowner (for privacy, I won’t name him, though we have video) who was elated to see us and all the supplies we brought, his house was in shambles. We started offloading supplies on the shoreline and helping to get them into what was left of his house.

During that process, he explained to us that FEMA had set up a command center at a local high school on the island, but that they weren’t doing anything to help the residents, not even bringing them WATER! Instead, he explained that they were driving around using a loudspeaker, telling people to stay in their homes. They weren’t even helping the home owners with supplies. I was skeptical at first while he was telling me all of this, but then he said something that broke my heart….

He told us that the people of the keys were all in despair, because they had just seen, weeks before, the overwhelming support for Texas with Hurricane Harvey, by the citizens of this country. He, and his neighbors on all of the keys, felt like Americans had forgotten about them completely, because at this point, FIVE DAYS after landfall, all they had seen was FEMA, and they were of NO HELP. The residents were cut off from the outside world, no cellular, no internet, no way to contact anyone or hear of any efforts to try to help them. The ONLY communication they had was from a local radio station on Sugarloaf Key, that was broadcasting on AM to the surrounding keys.

The man, after hearing that there were citizens trying to bring them help, but being refused entry by federal law enforcement was visibly upset. He, and his neighbors, really thought the country had abandoned them. He insisted that we get into his waterlogged truck and that he would take us to that radio station so that we could go live on air, to tell the citizens trapped in the Keys that we, the American people, were there to help and that the government was trying to stop our efforts. And that is exactly what we did.

After that, we were determined to help as many people as we could, but we were met with red tape throughout the whole process and time we were in the keys. We finally we able to talk some authorities to let us down to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon towards the end of Boot Key. This was the same hotel where state and local authorities were staging their personnel and they were happy to see us. I was able to coordinate several trucks full of supplies to be brought down to the EOC in Marathon.

I was privy to the EOC meeting, BUT was informed in that meeting, that all of the semi trucks full of food, water and hygiene supplies were to be turned around and not allowed to be offloaded for distribution by the EOC. THE REASON they gave us, was that these donations were not from companies on their “preferred vendors list” and that they would not accept them or give them to the residents of the keys impacted by the storm. It was at that point that I realized, this is ALL ABOUT MONEY.

These ‘preferred vendors” are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal govt for each disaster. In turn, some of the “vendors” make it on the list because a friend gets them on the list, and in return for getting ridiculously outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, they give kickbacks. So accepting outside donations, even though they are on location and can help people NOW, they would rather let people suffer so they can get their kickbacks. This meeting solidified my resolve to help these people, regardless of what the greedy officials wanted, we were going to feed the lower keys that were being neglected.

I diverted ALL SEMI TRUCKS to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon and filled the entire first floor with pallets upon pallets of food, water and essential supplies and created a food pantry for residents to come and get anything, and however much they needed. From local state troopers to the homeless, all were given wheel barrels and free reign to get anything they needed. We also delivered supplies down to Big Pine Key.

We helped establish the tent city on Big Pine Key. Big companies like Titos Vodka and Whelen just kept bringing trucks full of everything that was needed. When FEMA FINALLY started handing out boxes of canned goods (limited to one per household), we were filing cars full of food and supplies for people and pets.

There is so much more to the story in the Keys and further from there in other storms we worked- the common theme though, is that the federal government always tries to keep citizens from helping and the local authorities, the ones that live and work in the area are always happy to have outside help.

I call out to Elon Musk and anyone else who can monetarily help people like myself and those that work with me, who have the knowledge and the will to help those devastated by these disasters. Help us side step the red tape and get the people the relief they need. We are willing, and we are many, and we are ready.

Isilme had been describing the unsuccessful venture into going to the local chippy when she makes better herself imho, then ……

“Meanwhile, down in the garden, the strawberries are a little confused. As I’ve mentioned before, they have been fruiting like crazy this year. A few days ago I noticed some ripe strawberries. Only four, but some years that’s all we had for the whole year. And now the plants are flowering again.

The apples are still hanging around in spite of the strong winds the other night. The trees are still heavily laden even though we’ve collected several bags full for various people. The Bramley hangs over the garden wall and there’s almost as many apples on the other side as there are on the garden side.

We tell people to help themselves, but not many do (except around harvest festival time, so I expect a few will be gathered soon). The Pippin is similarly laden and we’ve eaten a few of those but they probably need to ripen a little longer.. I think I will try to keep a few in crates to last us over the winter. That is, if I can stop Beloved from making them into cider.

I neglected the runner beans and think I will now have to collect and dry the beans themselves as they are past their best . . . but they’re still flowering hopefully. The chilli peppers are ready to harvest but I can’t even find the sweet pepper plants. Not sure what happened to them! I really ought to gather the rest of the courgettes too. I’ve had so many I’ve left a few on the plant so that they ‘keep’ a bit longer. But I see there are more tiny courgettes on the way.. They probably won’t get very far though.

The tomatoes went crazy too, except that they’re all still green. We got a small bowl full of cherry tomatoes and a couple of large tomatoes, but the rest are just sitting there looking green. I think I may have to bring them in soon and see if they ripen.”

I have not heard back from my friend yet. I hope she is managing. The thing about up there James, is there are hills and valleys and mountains and lots of streams and waterways. I am just sick about the little towns and outlying homes and trailers along the way…many tucked back. What has become of them?  The land has been so carved up.

The wind is powerful  but the water …well I don’t have to tell you . You have seen the destruction. Also up that way the cold will be setting in soon. I do not want to neglect all the other states  and their problems too. Many of the people up there love to be in nature and left alone. Asheville area has become a hippy dippy culture but there are still solid people up that way.

As a layman I did not understand the full extent of Parliament’s might until I heard Sir Bill Cash on Monday. He explained that unlike Germany and the Netherlands, our Constitution does not acknowledge the supremacy of international law. If we wish to override it all we have to do is pass an Act that says so in terms; a key phrase is ‘notwithstanding [name of law, convention, treaty].’ 

Sir Bill said that the Supreme Court has already upheld this approach in case law. If the wording is sufficiently clear and explicit then no judge can oppose it.
