Sharing news, Human Interest, retail, birding, archeology, medical research, health, things I find interesting, @NorthwesternU alum 🇺🇸 THE CONSTITUTION 🇺🇸

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

🚨Farmers are sounding the alarm — and nobody’s listening.

American farmer, Julius Ray Tucker, just tested his soil & found 5X more aluminum than last year. His GMO seeds grow perfectly, but his heirloom crops are dying.

— Meanwhile, Bill Gates is pushing GMO seeds engineered to thrive in aluminum-rich soil. And geoengineering delivering that aluminum from our skies.

We are being ruled by extremely evil people who want ONLY their GMO seeds to grow. They want total control of our food, our skies, the air, our soil & what gets injected into our bodies.

RFK Jr & Head of the EPA Lee Zeldin both promised to stop them from spraying chemicals in our skies. They need to make faster changes.

Add bell peppers to lentils and you change more than the flavor: you can help iron absorption.

Lentils provide nonheme iron, the form found in plant foods. Vitamin C, found in foods such as peppers, citrus, and broccoli, helps the body absorb that iron.

It is one reason a meal can matter more than a nutrient viewed alone. The foods sharing the plate can change what becomes available to the body.

Lentils with peppers, or beans with lemon: which combination would you actually make?

Most people take fiber and still stay constipated.
The reason is often simple: the fiber never actually swells.
Psyllium works by absorbing water and expanding into a soft gel that makes stools easier to pass.

No enough water = little to no effect.
Practical notes:
• Start low (3–5 g)
• At least 250 ml water per dose
• Space it from medications
• People with swallowing issues should check with a clinician first

Which part do you find harder in practice: drinking enough water with it, or finding the dose that doesn’t cause bloating?

DIVORCE AGREEMENT

THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is our separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

—We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.

--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.

--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.

--You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them.

--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.

--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.

--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks.

--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.

--When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.

--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill.

--We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.

--You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.

--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."

--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World."

--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot.

--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you.

P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Forward This Every Time You Get It !

Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.

Who did build this wall?

[Unearthed 🏺 @UnearthedHQ]

This Ancient Greek Wall Is Driving Historians Crazy 🤯

Hidden high above Athens on the rocky Hill of Pnyx stands a stone wall so strange that many people refuse to believe it was built by ordinary humans alone. The gigantic blocks — some weighing more than 200 tons — are fitted together with shocking precision, without a single drop of mortar holding them in place. And somehow, after thousands of years, the wall is still standing.

The deeper people study it, the more mysterious it becomes.

Historians say the site was connected to ancient Greece and early democracy. But others believe something far older may be hiding beneath the official story. The massive interlocking stones look unlike most Greek construction, leading some researchers to wonder if the wall was inherited from a forgotten civilization that existed before recorded history.

Just imagine the scene thousands of years ago. Enormous stone blocks being carved, lifted, and moved uphill without cranes, engines, or modern technology. No computers. No steel machines. Yet the stones fit so tightly together that even a knife blade can barely slide between them.

How was this possible?

Some believe ancient builders possessed engineering knowledge that has been lost forever. Others think the truth about humanity’s past may be far more complicated than we realize.

And standing before the wall today, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

Who really built it?

🚨#BREAKING: Two TEEN BROTHERS are being hailed as HEROES after they RESCUED a Florida mom and her little boy who were TRAPPED on their kitchen counter with their 3 dogs as floodwater filled their home...

...the mother called 911 THREE TIMES and no one could come, then two TEEN BROTHERS grabbed a kayak and a paddleboard and went and SAVED THEM!!!

ALL OF THEM made it out, the dogs too!!!! ❤️

The t names are Jonah and Lucas Marshall.

Jonah is 15. Lucas is 17. They live in Palm Bay, Florida.

This week, Palm Bay got slammed by some of the worst flooding the city has ever seen.

Brittany Grant and her son climbed up on their kitchen counter with their three dogs as the water kept rising inside the house.

No way out.

She called 911.

Then she called again.

Then she called a THIRD time... and was told there were no emergency resources available because of the flooding.

So she did the only thing left. She posted on Facebook.

A mother saw that post and her two boys didn’t wait around.

Jonah borrowed a neighbor’s KAYAK and Lucas grabbed his PADDLEBOARD.

Together with another neighbor, they paddled through the floodwater to a house full of strangers.

Jonah says they didn’t even think about it, those people were in danger, so they just went.

Lucas admits it was a little nerve-wracking... but he figured they were strong and able, so why not.

By the time they got there, Brittany and her son had been stuck on that counter for MULTIPLE HOURS.

Lucas got the little boy out FIRST.

And the whole way, he kept him talking so he wouldn’t be scared.

What’s your name? How’s school going?

Then he told him: “This is a weird day, isn’t it?”

A 17-year-old kid, in the middle of a flood, making a scared little boy feel normal. 😭

The brothers got Brittany, her son, and ALL THREE DOGS to dry land.

Brittany says if it weren’t for them, she doesn’t know how they would have gotten out.

And she says neighbors she had NEVER MET restored her faith in humanity.

The next generation isn’t lost, folks.

Some of them are paddling into floodwater when no one else can come.

GOD BLESS Jonah and Lucas Marshall, and GOD BLESS the mama who raised them.

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone.

MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.”

“We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.”

“There is no upstairs.”

He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software.

“I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.”

“It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.”

There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

Nine people in ten would point at the steak on the right and call it the healthy one, and I have run out of patience with every single one of them.

The one on the right is a ribeye with the ribeye taken out. The one on the left is the animal as it was built, a cap of fat round the edge thick enough to earn the word, a seam of it between the muscles, marbling through the eye so dense it looks like frost. Fifty years ago the butcher would have charged you more for the one on the left and apologised for the one on the right.

Now the trimmed one is premium and the real one is a guilty pleasure, and the country that fell for that is the country with the diabetes clinic.

The fat is the food. A, D, E and K2 live in it and nowhere else on the plate. The flavour lives in it, which is why the right one needs a jus and the left one needs a knife. The fullness lives in it, which is why the right one has you at the fridge by nine and the left one has you forgetting breakfast. The fuel lives in it. The red is the packaging, and you have been taught to buy the packaging and tip the contents away.

And this fat, out of every fat on the counter, is the one that cannot hurt you. The cow's rumen saturated it before it reached her. It sits solid and white on the board, it does not go rancid in the pan the way the bottle of sunflower oil does, and it is the fat your great-grandmother fried everything in while heart disease was still a rarity you wrote up in a journal.

So who convinced you otherwise. A margarine firm with a heart on the lid, a 1977 guideline written by a man who never ran a trial, and forty years of magazine covers, every one of them paid by somebody with a bottle to sell. They could not sell you the fat on the left, because it comes free with the cow. So they taught you to fear it and sold you the substitute.

Half a century on, the lean one costs more, tastes of less, leaves you hungry, and gets called healthy by people who have never once asked what the fat was for.

The one on the left. Eat the edge first. Stop apologising for being right.

"As soon as we have the power to do it"

Again, they're going after their political opponents, instead of helping Americans. They have no real plan for how to improve America

An apple a day keeps the doctor away—or does it? A study of 8,399 adults checked.

A 2015 study of 8,399 US adults found that daily apple eaters initially appeared less likely to visit a doctor. After adjusting for factors such as education and smoking, that difference was no longer statistically significant.
Source: DOI 10.1001/jamainternmed.2014.5466

Apple eaters did report somewhat less prescription medication use. The study couldn't show that apples caused either pattern.

The apple still makes a handy snack. Which other food saying deserves a scientific test?

If you really care about this country, this is one of the areas where your attention should be right now. @DataRepublican is exactly right. The greatest obstacle they face to a complete power grab is the Sec of War, Pete Hegseth. He has rebuilt a military that will stand by the constitution & is comitted to the oath every member takes. Hegseth does not back down or fear his enemies because he what he fears is God. They need him out of the way so badly - which should tell you just how important it is to stop them. Read the thread. The truth always matters but it is more important now than ever.
