That rules out TNG, Enterprise (finale), LowerDecks, and Picard.

Enterprise series, Hoshi Sato?

Once again we are asking: Why was Kash Patel paid $25,000 by a company linked to the Russian government?

When a payment from a production company for $25,000 showed up on Kash Patel's disclosures during his confirmation hearing, we did some digging. And soon, the story began to unravel.

I've got this one!

Anyone remember the #StarTrekVoyager #VoyagerDoc as a backer last May I got digital access to it on vimeo of all places. Ball ache to watch it on my relatively new TV because no vimeo app support. Fortunately being a Samsung home, I managed to direct my tablet to show on my TV. It wasn't as

you like some, I have an open box in my van that I can discount £2 for you. 😬

The guy they sent was a independent that they contract to. Half way through repair he tried selling me a washing machine maintenance cleaning package. I declined. Then he said, good I wouldn't recommend it. I'm an independent and use this other brand, would

I had D&G for one year. My washer dryer broke. Hotpoint website repair page took me to D&G.

My 2 options
A) Sign up to yearly plan, and they fix straight away. (Not tied to renewal)
B) Pay for visit and repair, i submitted fault code and it quoted on that.

The yearly plan was a third cheaper. 😄

Both the men’s and women’s USA hockey teams won gold, yet Trump joked about “having to invite” the women to the White House, and the room laughed. This is the party that ran on “saving” women’s sports, and by that I mean used it to shoehorn bigoted messaging into a campaign.

Orphan, lion survivor, now a mother — Ishanga has given birth to a baby girl at Ithumba! We've named her Imp, our 92nd known grandcalf. She exists because her mother was saved from the jaws of death 16 years ago.

History has taught us that killing cartel leaders rarely works, something and someone more violent always takes their place. Mexico killing a drug kingpin was political theater for Trump and it’s going to accomplish nothing but more mass chaos

When you see a short clip, it’s always worth asking what was the wider context?
What are you being asked to think and feel in that clip?
Could there be more to it?
The woman in the clip was brilliant
Calm, reasoned and no escalation
But the men were also pretty calm and no one escalated either!👍🏼

The Americans kept quoting things they claimed were in the Quran and demanding to know why they believed it as it was clearly ludicrous:

“Do you believe that if you slept in in the morning it is because Satan urinated in your ear?”

“Im just asking you to think critically and not believe this”

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.
