@WallStreetSilv Information the government tells me. Political promises. Advertisements. Any narrative involving tax increase. Any narrative portrayed by any group or individual who has even an iota of power.

***School calls and tells me that I have to pick up my son because he was in a fight at school.**

Me: Ok, what happened?

Them: He and another student were arguing and your son told him to leave him alone. So the other student got in his face and your son stood up. Then the other student pushed your son. So your son punched him and they began fighting. So he is suspended until Tuesday.

Me: Ok be right there. Work in Gastonia. School is in Bessemer City.

**Arrive at school. Read the report. Ask for clarification that he is suspended for self defense as it seemed. Made clear he was defending himself. **

Me looking at my son with a smile: Let’s go get ice cream.

Him: Really?

Me: Yes son. Self defense is a right not a privilege. No one has to let themselves be pushed around.

Him: Thanks dad 😊

Fast-food chains should implement an item limit for drive thru. Like 5 items or less.

@RobertKennedyJr It doesn’t. They’re censoring you because they are afraid. Keep fighting the good fight. I believe in you.

@RobertKennedyJr If RFK Jr doesn’t win this next election there is a high probability chance that our great nation may not last another 100 years, little alone 20. We need to lead by example, and set the stage for peace against war, corruption and greed.

I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible. But a particular kind of cultural erasure and re-writing has once again reared its ugly head, thus I feel compelled to state a few facts regarding one of my particularly beloved franchises.

The Star Trek of my youth was not Woke. It presented an egalitarian, meritocratic future where ethnicity simply didn't matter. And when characters like Commodore Stone, Captain Terrell, Admiral Morrow, or the captain of the U.S.S. Saratoga were presented, we (the fans) took them in stride. There was no shock. No outrage. This was not edgy. It reflected (and still reflects) the actual military as it's existed in the United States since the 1950s.

We saw more of the same, when TNG came on the air.

So, you will never convince me that a character like Captain Sisko was in any way controversial. He wasn't. Everyone said, "Cool, they got Hawk for the new show!" Because Brooks (as a heavyweight presence) was already well known, thanks to him co-starring in Spenser for Hire. And it had already been established in prior movies and television outings that Starfleet was a seamlessly integrated environment. You were on those starships and wearing that rank because you'd earned it. And for no other reason.

I loathe the Woke tendency to take eggshell and messily roller it over the pop culture of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Just because modern Wokies—most of whom weren't even around to remember it as it actually happened—have an incessant need to LARP as bold smashers and breakers, doesn't give them the right to delete the significant cultural product of my age. I won't let them.
