Tommy's Triumph

Programming note: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I shall endeavour to be here for our midweek Clubland Q&A taking questions from Mark Steyn Club members live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm British Summer Time/9pm Central European. Hope you can swing by. ~Four years ago the last weeks of Rush Limbaugh's life played out against the ructions attending America's phony-baloney presidential "election". Rush was doubtful about the plans for a stop-the-steal rally on January 6th, and suggested that, in order for it to achieve anything, you would have to put two million people on the streets of the capital. I said I agreed: Mass protest is a numbers game. Well, the US has a population about five times the size of the UK - ...

The War on Reality

Americans no longer share sufficient reality to live together. To the left, Charlie Kirk's killer is a hardcore MAGA Christofascist who shot him because the disgusting totally racist misogynist homophobic Kirk was a bit of a pantywaist on the issues...

A Clubman's Notes

An End to the Old Ennui

Next year will mark the twentieth anniversary of the publication of my boffo bestseller on demography and its discontents. As I said last week, it's not easy writing a bestseller about demography, especially when all the nuancy boys of the respectable media are condescendingly dismissing it as "alarmist". Well, it wasn't. Which is why yesterday a huge swarm of flag-wavers - Union Jack plus St George's cross, St Andrew's saltire, the Welsh dragon, the Ulster banner and the Irish tricolour - took to the streets of London to reclaim their ancestral lands. Lots of old friends there - Sammy Woodhouse, Katie Hopkins, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Kathy Gyngell, Mr and Mrs Laurence Fox, many Mark Steyn Club members and Steyn Cruisers. I wish I could ...

Grand at the Game

On Serenade Radio's latest episode of Mark Steyn on the Town, we take off with Caterina Valente, and build up, somewhat counter-intuitively, to the forgotten theme from a floppo sitcom. But in between come a gubernatorial blockbuster, a cavalcade of Non-Stop Number Ones, and five words you can take to the bank: Frank Sinatra sings Cole Porter.
