... At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department's public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein " including a photograph showing President Donald Trump " less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein's longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

fwiw, from what I remember, the first Star-Trek series TV show theme song that had lyrics.

Yes, perhaps the most hated, reviled theme song in history.

The decision to use that was the largest nail in the Enterprise coffin.

Some people are so selfish they would just destroy a thing so noone can enjoy it any longer.

Brannon Braga and Rick Berman were the "executives" making that decision.

Star Trek was that thing.

Here are their lyrics to us haters:

It's been a long road, getting from there to here
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me down

[Refrain]
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith
Faith of the heart

[Verse 2]
It's been a long night. Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at night
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna change my mind

[Refrain]
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

[Bridge]
I've known the wind so cold, I've seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine...

[Refrain]
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith

I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I've got faith
Faith of the heart
It's been a long road...

Since that decision I really lost all interest in Star Trek, and television in general.

Of the very, very few things I related to whatsoever Star Trek was sacred. I never wanted it to become NASA's projection like some jingoistic applause sign.

Think I'm drawn to these kind of covers because it's what we did in college many evenings; sit around and play music with our friends. (not even the real artists had auto tune and stuff)
