Reflections From a Murky Pond

With all the crap going on, both holdover crap from 2020 and the new crap of 2021, e.g., the Dems’ coup against America’s President, Donald Trump, and the installation of their usurper, Creepy Uncle Joe Biden into the White House, Americans are definitely beset by tribulations. Indeed, for the Christian majority, it probably feels like it’s the actual Tribulation.

Believe me! I feel for you. We’re in essentially the same sinking boat – a boat deliberately scuttled by our nation’s and People’s domestic enemies, the Democrats. But … here’s a little bit of lift for our spirits. Nichelle Nicols covered in tribbles has got to be a good way to combat tribulations! 😆

ROFLMAO Yeah, that’d be cool and a bit more original than Hollywood’s ongoing reboot trend.

The Game Has Ended

Only a “special” few geeks will get this and for many of them it’ll be a roshambeau straight to the feelings. For the vast majority the explanation is to be found here.

To Sadly Go Perhaps

Dee died in 1999. Jimmy passed over in 2005. Now Leonard has gone on to the next thing. Bill’s still going though, closer and closer to doing it alone and I have to wonder how he feels about that.

Sometimes life imitates art; sometimes art shapes life. That latter seems more true of Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, which less predicted than caused what was the future for that franchise.

In this particular case, the shades of the Klingon homeworld could be seen as hundreds of police officers turned their backs on a screen showing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio speaking at the funeral of one of the two NYPD officers assassinated last week by a Black insurrectionist. It looked a lot like the Klingon ceremony of Discommendation, in which the individual is ceremonially shunned, stripped of honor, and severely reduced in social status due to his crimes.

Some – those who either are part of the Black Problem or side with those that are, and/or those with deep-seated psychological scarring and resultant pathologies – may well disagree with me, but I find this public shaming and shunning of de Blasio by the NYPD to be a very fitting start to his punishment for his dishonor and disloyalty.
