At left are the words of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of the original television series “Star Trek.”
The concept that differences in ideas and cultures are something to be regarded as a “delight” is the very soul of “woke.”
Encouraging diversity and inclusion. Wow. “He was before his time,” as they say.
You don’t have to be a great communicator like Winston Churchill or Ronald Reagan to know that deliberately distracting your audience when you’re trying to make serious points is a bad idea. That’s what made the decision to have a little kid, capable of doing or saying anything at any time, milling around when his dad was speaking.
Musk wants to assure the American public that his actions are honest, legal, and helpful? And he comes out juggling flaming torches?
And yes, Trump was clearly pissed about what was happening here.
“White House says judges balking at Trump’s actions are provoking a ‘constitutional crisis.'”
What Aldous Huxley said here is absolutely true, and it applies so broadly across human society.
Most obviously, we have environmental collapse in general and climate change in particular. The longer we delay our efforts to decarbonize our energy and transportation sectors, the higher the price we will ultimately pay.
Unfortunately, most Americans aren’t really on board here, otherwise a plurality of voters wouldn’t have elected a president who immediately withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, abandoning the world in this existential struggle for survival.
I can’t swear the story at left actually happened, but it certainly rings true–especially the end.
People who don’t want a more inclusive and fair society truly are “unpleasant.”
As shown below, it seems that the Associated Press, which has been serving to inform the world’s people since 1846, is having a bit of trouble doing its job. In particular, it was banned from a U.S. White House press briefing for its unwillingness to accept Trump’s changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Insofar as journalism is the only profession specifically named in the Constitution, we may safely conclude that the Framers took the freedom of the press quite seriously.
Of course, they were also pretty darned insistent they didn’t have a king.
As we step even deeper into the constitutional crisis which is being structured at the hands of President Musk, those federal judges sure are busy little beavers.
I’ve always liked this:
It looks like there has been a transition from:
Tesla owners affixing bumper stickers that read: “I bought this car before I realized that Elon Musk is a terrible person.”
to:
An international boycott against Tesla.
Many of us agree with Hamill and see it as our duty to oppose the criminal sociopath in the White House.
