Great episode. The Jem'Hader are exponentially more dangerous than Klingons, Gorn, and Romulans. Addicted to Ketrocel White and literally fighting for their addiction, their gods are their pushers. Shades of meth pumped troops in modern wars.

Shades of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Colin Powell lying to the U.N. We've been roofied by these boys before. Let's make better choices. P.S. no one in Iran cares what a Pahlavi wants. Giving them airtime is just counterproductive.

Thank you for this. I feel so many people forget Starfleet came into being, including their utopian worldview, only after billions died in multiple nuclear wars. The current generation pays the price of admission according to the Canon timeline. "Its been a long road getting from there to here."

I feel like there are a lot of contributory factors, racism, sexism, and xenophobia are all good examples. But I also feel in any sampling of people no matter how large or small, about 30% of people will suck. I have, many times, had a great convo going with someone until "that guy" showed up.

Legacy of a Libertarian Leader Longtime Cato Institute head Ed Crane died this month. Many in the movement he helped build have trouble seeing Trump clearly.

"Modern libertarianism is, in the final analysis, a right-wing ideology. Left-wing Big Government seems to be the greater threat in the libertarian mind than right-wing Big Government."

Its like the quote my old history professor used to describe the situation immediately before WWI, "It's like a baby in a bottle with a loaded gun, you know something bad will happen, you just don't know when."

Or specific business interests aligned with a certain party will see all of it. You know, "the parties that actually paid the tariff" as opposed to the consumers whose prices got jacked.

The Constitution created no law enforcement authority and the 2nd Amendment was intended to provide the power to the people to police themselves. How? Through a "A well regulated militia..." the first words of the 2nd and three of the most ignored words in the Constitution. Power to the People! πŸ–•πŸ§Š

Given the kinds of anti-American things "young republican" organizations elsewhere in the US have been saying, it is newsworthy. What culture exists among these groups if the Constitutional order is not absolutely sacred? They know they need to raise taxes, they just want to call it something else.

This is why the word "unprecedented" has been so grossly over used in media polite speak since 2016.

Get Ready to Rage: Third Chapter of '28 Years Later' Trilogy Now in Limbo Rumor has it that the third chapter of the '28 Years Later' trilogy may now be in limbo. Read more at Dread.

28 Years Later is among the best horror films ever made. Bone Temple was beyond wow, best zombie movie eva. Sony may not make the third film in the genre because the film didn't do well in theaters, probably because no one goes post covid. Stream today! The trilogy must be completed! How's that!

The threat of violence is most effective before violence is ever applied. We had a deal with Iran based on a threat of violence. Trump broke the deal and bombed Iran. Why would they come to the table now? We had a deal and they got bombed anyway. Tell dummy the threat of violence is used up.

Belarus rounds up reservists on hours’ notice near Polish border in snap military readiness check Social media flooded with reports of same-day summonses in Hrodna.

Belarus is rounding up reservists on hours' notice near the Polish border - wives report same-day summonses and phones going dark after men board buses.

Experts say it's a mobilization readiness check, not an offensive buildup. But with Belarus deeply tied to Russia, NATO neighbors are watching.

Maybe he couldn't read Mark 12:31. Seems like the second greatest commandment might be one to pay attention to, I mean if you want to be a good Christian and all. Of course he's not a Christian he's just an inbred backwoods racist rube.

Because I do not want federal agents of any kind monitoring my constitutionally guaranteed civil right. I do need them and don't want them. They chill the mood in a room, any non fascist knows this. If the Preisdent were a democrat and tried to do this, Mr Lee would object loudly. Hypocrite A#1.

Right. Its tough to make a list with all of the films that are out there. I think the 70s and 80s have a ton, but an over all list would need to include Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) and H.G. Wells' Things to Come (1936), because both include timeless social commentray and are the gold standard.

Didn't they want a separate country as well? The same people have no loyalty to our nation. Accountability is long over due.
