The best science fiction is a mirror that shows us as a people where we are and where we are heading. If you take out Rebellion and Empire, this could be a statement about America and the threat of dictatorship we are facing under the current president. Look in your mirror closely. What do YOU see?

One photo among the dozens I took is, for me, hands down my favorite picture from the NO KINGS protest in New Port Richey, Florida, yesterday. The side facing her said, PEACE. This side of the sign was the same word... written in Arabic. Peace is universal. This should be the lesson for us all.

This moment from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is more relevant than ever, and it aired 17 years ago. Science fiction is a great way to teach humanity how to see ourselves in the mirror - even when the reflection may not be too pretty.

When you can't get the original "Falcon Crest" prop because it was destroyed, you find someone to make it for you.

This podcast is the most essential storytelling of our time. I am enjoying the frak out of it, Nicolle. Please consider Pete and Chasten Buttigieg (separately) as your guests in the future. Everyone you have talked to has brought fantastic viewpoints to the national narrative. America is listening.

The YouTube tutorials are hard because the instructors there do not go slow. It is hard to look at the strings and get the fingering down, when they are moving so fast. I need to find a good guitar teacher in New Port Richey.

On January 27, 2006, this episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA from NBC/UNI aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. It has the current President, Tom Zarek showing similar traits of Trump. Minus the discussed executions. I thought it would fit on your show somewhere.

I saw this, and it gave me a chuckle. I immediately thought about what you shared on your show Friday night.

This "president" is incompetent as hell. Every single day, Pete, I am practicing your "Rules of the Road." But it is, oh, so hard to bite my tongue with the right-wing Trump voters who have believed every word he has told them. I refuse to engage. I want to just grab one and say, "Snap out of it!!"

When you pull the U out of his name and replace it with the hammer and sickle from the Russian flag, it actually looks like it is spelled correctly.

Jan. 6 Lectern Guy is BACK in-studio! January 6th Lectern Guy, Adam Johnson, visits the Mike Calta Studio following President Trump's pardon news.

www.theboneonline.com/bonetv/jan-6...

Popular morning drive Host, Mike Calta, in Tampa, Florida, had the Lectern guy at his home studio today for an interview. Their discussion went out over Tampa airwaves this morning on 102.5 THE BONE. Apparently Mr. Calta likes treasonous insurrectionists. Sad.

A very popular and highly paid morning drive host, named Mike Calta, had the Lectern Guy from Jan. 6th at his home studio today for an interview that was broadcast on 102.5 THE BONE in Tampa this morning. Apparently Calta supports these people. Sad.

I'm glad you are here, Lawrence. The next 4 years will be difficult. I'm glad you're there every night to speak your truth to the abuse of power that will certainly be running rampant in Washington D.C. Thank you for your insightful show every night. Please get Pete Buttigieg back on soon. Thank you

Tampa is struggling at halftime, but I'm pulling for a win in the next half, all the same. Go get those Cowboys, guys!

Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is a leader among his fellow players. His focus on the gridiron, his support of and respect for his teammates, and his commitment to excellence in Tampa Bay make him a true legend in my book. #6 is not to be underestimated. Never!
