Disclosure Day (2026) felt like Civil War (2024). A strong and timely premise made into a muddled and underwhelming film.

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.

Many people can't process a fact or statement devoid of moral or political sentiment. This is why factual statements elicit responses such as:
•"So?"
•"And?"
•"Your point?"
They can't process a fact without being told how to feel.

“Nature” is good when it provides justification for the ugly impulses of your allies and bad when it provides justification for the ugly impulses of your enemies.
