We went out to do the thing where he tries to drive the car to the mechanic, but it sure sounded like engine and nor starter or alternator, so it had to be towed. This may be it for his truck and his car needs about $2000.00 of work to be drivable, so idk what happens next.

A video of the event eventually proved Kelly’s claim to be false. Still, he has stood by his comments and ignored calls for him to apologize to Wilson.

“When he lied about me from the podium in the White House briefing room, he lied to the American people,” Wilson said in her statement. “He turned my efforts to support my Gold Star family into a firestorm of lies and insults that no sitting member of Congress should ever have to endure.”"

They dragged that here, did that routine and are dragging it the whole rest of the parade route. BAMF. "Mummers 2019 Fancy Division:"

* TNG: Season 7 Rewatch:

- 7.6 Phantasms. Data has his first nightmare (fun in engineering, men dismantling a conduit and Data). It was engineering related and thus more plot connected than it looks as they are futzing about with the warp core and his subconscious is trying to warn him. Geordi is trying to keep Ensign Tyler and her crush at bay. Data and Geordie discuss nightmares and crushes. Geordi stops data interfering. Picard has a ceremonial thing he doesn't wasnt to do, but the warp engine is messed up so they are becalmed. Deanna turns up to check in with Data on the nightmares and explains part of him is "trying to express itself through the dream state."

Data decides to dream again. This time he's in Ten Forward. Worf is eating a "cellular peptide" cake. Crusher is sucking blood out of Riker's head or the like. Riker tells him to answer "That Damned ringing." The Workmen surround a Deanna cake, which he cuts despite her pleas. Data over sleeps, which is impossible, so he knows something is wrong. Data consults Freud in the holodeck and he's is realistically useless. Seriously why is data consulting Frued when literally any other historical shrink is available and he could get one closer to his time who isn't horrible? The Admiral thinks Picard is shirking. Meanwhile Geordi hands Data a brace from his dream. He slips back into a dream state; Riker tells him to "answer it"; there is a phone in Data's chest and Freud tells him "You must kill them all before it's too late."

Deanna wants him to start counseling and asks him to shut down the dream program 'til next session. Now the Impulse engines are down. The Admiral is pressuring Picard, who is hovering. Data wanders off. Deana is jumpy; Data comes after her with the brace. Worf is complaining the jazz Riker gave Alexander when they come upon data and stabbed Deanna. Data is sensibly confined to his quarters because Duh. Deanna has a rash where data stabbed and there is weird radiation. Data give Spot to Worf and explains cat directions. Worf is allergic.

They are infected with something making their cells degrade. It all fits the dream imagery. The infections match the dream in location; they extract cellular peptides. They are all going to die if they don't solve it. They hook Data up to the holodeck so Picard and Geordi can enter his dreams. Data is cutting Deanna who is the cellular peptide cake. Riker's still complainig about the ringing phone in Data's chest. It's for Picard. Sigmund frued, data's unconscious, tells them to "Kill them before it's too late." The workmen start shooting to shut the unconscious up. The workmen attack the new conduit and are clearly the organism. Data makes a weird shrieking noise that hurts them. Data wakes up and has Geordi adjust him to kill the organisms with a high frequency pulse. The new part they installed was infested. Picard will miss the banquet while they make a new part. Deanna makes data a Data cake. "Sometimes a cake is just a cake.

She also addresses the incident with President Johnson having her blacklisted and getting the FBI to dig up dirt to smear her, which is very relevant considering what 45 is trying to do to that ESPN Commentator right now.
