Star Trek has always been about exploring the human condition while also having some fun, thought provoking, and weird sci-fi concepts.

Getting tired of media illiterate chuds and fake fans trying to convince you it was only about the cool spaceships.

Interstellar travel is impossible and aliens haven't visited Earth, physicists say β€œThere is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. ” Richard Feynman’s reflection lingers because it feels personal.

We invested in permanent housing, interim housing, and supportive services. We expanded mental health services. And we demanded local accountability to build more affordable housing.

Now, California is experiencing its first drop in unsheltered homelessness in over 15 years.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

If America was a country filled with people where the contents of the Epstein files could take down a president we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. He was elected AFTER access Hollywood, child separation, covid, being found liable for sexual abuse etc.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Women always lose the β€˜He said She said’ arguments. I demonstrated this neatly in the Lawrence Krauss case. 1st investigation was my word against his. Fast forward to an in depth Buzzfeed article finding corroborating witnesses, ASU forced to open a 2nd investigation & found that I was truthful.

Donald Trump is the biggest threat to US national security.

Laws should be passed that invalidate presidential candidates who can not pass a security clearance, or have been convicted of a felony.
