    But the underlying Pentagon leadership hasn’t significantly changed between Biden and Trump (or Bush and Trump, for that matter). Its all the same neoconservative think tanks writing variations on Project For A New American Century for the modern government.

    That isn’t congress or the president. Pentagon leadership doesn’t declare war. Congress has the power to declare war which hasn’t happened for some time and since then the president has basically done so, although arguable that it’s been a “formal” declaration of war.

    This is what people voted for, up and down the ballot. US voters put Trump at the top and yes men in the house and senate.

    Vote better next time, I guess.

    For the 1st one:

    Eleven articles were included. In men with LUTS, a significantly lower PVR (−24.96 ml; 95%CI −48.70 to −1.23) was shown in sitting position compared to standing. In accordance, Qmax was increased (1.23 ml/s; 95%CI −1.02 to 3.48), and TQ was decreased (−0.62 s; 95%CI −1.66 to 0.42) in sitting position, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. In healthy men, Qmax (0.18 ml/s; 95% CI −1.67 to 2.02), TQ (0.49 s; 95%CI −3.30 to 4.27) and PVR (0.43 ml; 95%CI −0.79 to 1,65) were similar in sitting and standing position.

    So that others don’t have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don’t have a LUTS, this doesn’t appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.

    The conclusion:

    For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.

    For the 2nd, I didn’t get past the title:

    Urine Is Not Sterile: Use of Enhanced Urine Culture Techniques To Detect Resident Bacterial Flora in the Adult Female Bladder

    This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words “sitting”, “standing”, and “male” make no appearance in the study.

    This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.
