Canadian actor William Shatner, 92, best known for his role playing Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s television series Star Trek, slammed a proposal by the European Union to ban the series’ iconic show-opening phrase, “To boldly go where no man has gone before,” in the name of gender equality and sensitivity.

The original Star Trek spoken word intro: “Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

As first reported by The U.S. Sun, the European Union agency European Institute for Gender Equality published a “Toolkit on Gender-sensitive Communication” that seeks to mandate gender-neutral or gender-equal language over traditional normal language.

On page 56 of the 65 page document, under the heading, “Examples of situations where women may be subject to invisibility or omission and alternatives to use,” the gender equality agency singles out the Star Trek phrase with a red X: “X To boldly go where no man has gone before.” Mandate: “Remove the gendered noun, Use no-one.” New-speak with a green checkmark: “√ To boldly go where no-one has gone before.”

Shatner responded on X Twitter: “Presentism at work yet again. Why start at Trek? Isn’t it better to start at the beginning and redo foundation material such as the Magna Carta, religious writings, works of Shakespeare before worrying about a silly TV show opening that reflects social commentary of the time? If people are offended by 6 seconds of dialogue recorded in 1966 without a modicum of understanding of the social issues at the time there’s bigger issues that they need to deal with first – like educating themselves.”

Star Trek season one intro:

A Trekkie responded to Shatner with an apt clip of First Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy), “Diplomats and bureaucrats may function differently, but they achieve exactly the same results.”

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to use that clip.

Fox News’ Dana Perino Slams Biden After He Falsely Claims He’s ‘Done All He Can’ on the Border – Then Shuffles Away to Marine One (VIDEO)

Fox News anchor Dana Perino slammed Joe Biden after he absurdly claimed he’s ‘done all he can’ on the border amid an unprecedented invasion of military-age males.

81-year-old Joe Biden tried to answer a few questions on the South Lawn as he prepared to board Marine One and Dana Perino blasted him for mumbling through answers while the rotating blades of the helicopter drowned him out.

An estimated 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men from China, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America have crossed over the border since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.

The illegals are crossing the border on Joe Biden’s open border invitation after he took 94 executive actions to create the crisis.

Joe Biden is now blocking the House-passed Secure the Border Act – while blaming Trump for the border crisis.

“With executive authority…was there more you could do?…” a reporter asked Biden referring to the border crisis.

Biden told the reporters that he is completely powerless. The president of the executive branch is completely powerless according to Joe Biden.

Biden replied, “I’ve done all I can do! Give me the power! I asked for the very day I got into office! Give me the border patrol! Give me the people who can stop this and make it work rationally!”

Meanwhile the Biden Regime is hamstringing border patrol agents and cutting razor wire on the Texas-Mexico border to allow more illegals to cross into the US.

Biden also vaguely answered a question about the Iran-backed terrorist attack that killed three American servicemembers.

Fox News anchor Dana Perino slammed Joe Biden as he shuffled away to Marine One en route to a campaign event in Palm Beach, Florida.

“I find it professionally insulting as someone who used to work there that they think that this is good enough? For the president to just take a question like that when you can’t actually hear him above the rotating blades [of Marine One]” Dana Perino said.
