CAPTAIN KIRK: You have him on complete Life Support. Was he dead?
DR. MCCOY: He was worse than dead.
CAPTAIN KIRK: What do you mean?
DR. MCCOY: Jim …
CAPTAIN KIRK: Come on, Bones, what’s the mystery?
DR. MCCOY: His brain is gone.—From Star Trek, Spock’s Brain
Longtime readers of my writing here know how much I think real life reflects the brilliance of classic Star Trek (not the endless PC leeching on it that followed). Unlike practically anyone in Hollywoke today, the artists who crafted the original series understood reality enough to present a moralistic, futuristic parable for it. They had served in war, seen men killed, saved lives, raised families, and read great books, concepts mostly alien to the imitative, ideological internet generations that followed.
President Biden is Mr. Spock after an advanced alien female removed his brain.
Before creating Star Trek, Gene Rodenberry was an Army Air Force ace with 89 combat missions in World War II, an airline pilot, then an LA cop — all jobs where no modern writer-producer has gone before. He and other contributors to the show used science-fiction to project their imagination, vision, passion, and angst about the world into the adventures of one military starship exploring the universe while attempting to maintain peace. In Joe Biden’s America, adventure, exploration, and peace are no longer futuristic elements but extinct ones. But Star Trek was there first.

Four years ago, during the 2020 election, I warned in The American Spectator that candidate Biden was the personification of John Gill from the Star Trek episode, Patterns of Force. Gill was a once respected, now near mindless leader drugged up to appear physically and mentally competent in order to figurehead a new Nazi Reich. The real power behind Gill has formed a police state where resistors are shot or jailed. Sound familiar? Star Trek was there first.
But too many citizens failed to heed my warning via Star Trek, and questionably elected Joe “John Gill’ Biden president. The result has been predictably, lamentably, interminably catastrophic. In four years, we’ve had 13 servicemembers killed and many more wounded during a disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, two ongoing wars, millions of illegal aliens pouring across the open border, an economy in shambles, normalized crime, barbarized major cities, political opponents imprisoned and/or persecuted, and dangerously short military recruitment levels.
In Star Trek, Captain James T. Kirk inspired real men to join a space force:
They used to say if Man could fly, he’d have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn’t reached the moon? [This episode, Return to Tomorrow, aired in February 1968, more than a year before the first Apollo mission did reach the moon.] Or that we hadn’t gone on to Mars, then to the nearest star? That’s like saying that you wished you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great, great, great, great grandfather used to … Dr. McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this. But I must point out that the possibility, the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great. Risk — risk is our business. That’s what this starship is all about. That’s why we’re aboard her.
Compare Captain Kirk’s inspiring speech to the one given last week by United States Space Force Lieutenant-Colonel Bree Fram, a man who identifies as a woman.
All too often, I hear leaders talk about providing everyone with dignity and respect like it’s an aspirational goal. That’s not good enough. Dignity and respect is the bare minimum. It’s the floor of where we can be. We must set our sights higher and focus on intentional inclusivity. Because there are still far too many people out there — not just LGBTQ individuals — that feel marginalized, shut out, and discriminated against … So for all of you out there. I ask you to set out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your emails, particularly if you’re a person who doesn’t feel they need to.
Fram’s speech might swell military enlistment with the kind of people the Armed Forces needs — in a Star Trek: The Next Generation fantasy. Apart from his high rank in U.S. Space Force, Fram co-leads the Department of the Air Force LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team. The fact that the Air Force even has an LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team must delight war strategists in Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran. Yet it’s a Biden Administration priority. Because compared to vegetating candidate “John Gill” Biden in 2020, President Biden is Mr. Spock after an advanced alien female removed his brain.
The Season Three opener, Spock’s Brain, is one of the weakest episodes of the entire series. In it, the Enterprise crew searches through a solar system for Spock’s brain, stolen by an alien with a technology beyond 23rd century human capability. Yet even this lesser episode anticipated Joe Biden who, like the brainless Spock, cannot function unless directed by remote control. (READ MORE: The Conservative Writer’s Block)
There’s one more political lesson that can be learned from classic Star Trek, which may predict the election result this November. In the episode, The Deadly Years, Captain Kirk gets relieved of command and replaced by an incompetent fool. Very soon, the Enterprise is surrounded by Romulan warships and targeted for destruction with the new captain at a total loss. “What am I going to do?” he whines to himself.
Only Kirk’s timely return saves the ship. Hopefully, another displaced leader’s comeback will rescue the ship of state this year.
