Question (since Mark is partly Belgian): Did the Mayor of Brussels back down over his ban on the Farage and Orban Conservative Conference in Brussels due to Belgian prime ministerial pressure, EU elite pressure - or something else? Why did he think he'd get away with it, in the first place?

Mark and fellow Club members. Do you have any thoughts about the recent stabbing of assyrian othrodox priest Mari Immanuel during his YouTube livestream? Was Bishop Immanuel stabbed because he's a real threat to the status quo? If so, are the rest of the clerics pretty safe because they've made it clear they're not a threat to anyone?

Would like your take on the jury process in the trial in NY. From distance of Australia or France seems a joke.

Mark, the DNC is using the judicial system of New York like Iran uses Hamas. I know our members of Congress are too busy robbing us blind, but wouldn't you think at least a few governors and legislative leaders especially from red states would raise hell about what is happening to Trump? After all, they could be next.

Dear Mark,
The National Post recently published an opinion piece by Conrad Black with the headline "Only after Hamas is destroyed can there be a Palestinian state". While I do not think Lord Black is wrong, I am not sure eliminating Hamas and rejigging borders can be a lasting solution while Iran and other actors continue to fund, train, supply, and encourage other terrorists such as Hezbollah, Houthis, and other groups whether or not their names start with the letter H.
What do you think? Is removing Hamas going to cause a domino effect towards peace or will someone else simply move in with Iran's backing?
Keep well and thank you for what you and your team are doing on so many issues in so many places.
Warm Regards,

I think most of us have a sense of how things turn out for Trump in this ultra corrupt New York case. I'd like to hear your thoughts on how this nonsense will be resolved - can you channel the Maha and read the stitches on this fastball? Will the progressive vultures achieve their objective? I know the process is the punishment, but this feels like more.

The realms of law and of manners that Mark has spoken of are of limited extent. Trump lives outside both. When he chose Publicity as his goddess, he thereby chose Aeschylean nemesis as his fate. No theory of secular justice can be applied to him. Or, as Clint Eastwood teaches us, "Deserve has got nothing to do with it". The justice bureaucracy was not constructed to handle a Trump; feeding him into the gears can only muck it up. Are we not expecting too much of it?

What do you think of the latest Trudeau budget? Increasing capital gains tax to 75% after $250,000 gain will discourage investment. We are already 30% less GNP per capita than the U.S. since the Liberals got in. Plus we were already taxed on the money we earned to invest in the hopes of protecting ourselves against inflation.

Dear Mr. Steyn,
When you were a young man, ice hockey was a great sport. It had hitting, bench clearing brawls, drunk fans throwing beer at players and fighting each other, and players climbing into the stands to fight drunk fans. My greatest childhood memory is of Brent Severyn beating Darryl Sydor so badly he bruised his soul.
Now the sport stinks. There is no fighting or hitting and the players are overskilled, uncoachable primadonnas. Furthermore, like current life, the game is over regulated by referees and bureaucrats.
How did the league degenerate to this level from its drunken, brawling glory days?
Yours Faithfully,

Hi Mark,
Good to see you aren't dead yet and live to fight ever more battles. Liz Truss is something of a comeback tour with op-eds in the WSJ and other publications. I thought she got a bad rap when she tried to introduce conservative policies in what was supposed to be a conservative government. I thought the actions of Andrew Bailey, head of the BOE were especially reprehensible. He initially refused to follow the US federal reserve and raise interest rates knowing full well it would crush the pound. Once that happened, yields crashed setting off the sell-off in the Gilt market.
The question for you is if you think the money side of the deep state learned something and will the federal reserve pull a similar stunt if Trump manages to win beyond the margin of steal?
Good luck thus summer against Ofcom. You will certainly need it.

Mark,
I was disappointed to read that Japan has slowly been opening the floodgates to mass immigration in recent years, with over 2 million foreign workers and predictably many calls for more, including efforts to recruit high tech workers from India. I guess Japan may not end as Japanese after all. Any predictions for Japan and what immigration will do to them?

Hi Mark. You wrote at length yesterday about the contempt deserved by the New York court system. The widespread corruption of law enforcement and legal system is plainly obvious to a vast percentage of the U.S. population.
My question is this: will there be a trigger that finally moves the public to do something more substantive than sitting on their hands, watching butch Fox News hosts, and waiting patiently for the next election cycle to casting their vote into the putrid ocean of similarly-corrupt ballot counting?

I wonder what Mark thinks of Unherd's recent video on youtube "Inside the 'disinformation' industry" throwing back the curtain on the international censorship complex that is strangling free speech in the anglosphere and beyond.
At the heart is a UK company called the "global disinformation index" created by a former Open society foundation and WEF employee, funded by the UK government, the German government and the US government that ensures press sources that question trans, climate change and covid propaganda don't get advertising revenue.

Tucker recently interviewed a Christian pastor from Idaho and he seemed to think the only path forward to save our society from complete destruction is through the conversion of a ton of people to a robust and sincere Christianity. I'm inclined to see no other solution.

What exactly is stopping the Republican Party from just running clips of Joe Biden, unedited, no voice overs....just straight pure unfiltered Biden. Moments chosen for "best effect", of course. Seems like there is so much material that the sheer abundance of his most classic jackassery would allow them to never repeat the ads, which itself would have an effect on the people who only see MSM as they began to realize the quantity of it.

I've been listening to Andrew's reports from the Canada Strong & Free conference (because it sounds so much more real than our CPAC), & everyone sounds so optimistic & cheerful, claiming Canadians are sick of Justin tyranny (Justyrrany?) Do you suppose they actually have a chance to set Canada straight, or are Canadian politics as woefully broken as ours?
