Mark,
I hope you are relatively well.
More and more of the quiet stuff is being said out loud in the US.
Amidst the daily word salads that fall from the lips of Kamala Harris, was this beauty this week:
"Undocumented immigrants are the least likely to commit a crime". Followed by the inevitable cackle of laughter.
Now I know she fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down but this level of mendacious idiocy is simultaneously indefensible yet unreported by the usual suspects in the mainstream media.
As she is now within the margin of steal in the battleground states she's odds on to win this election isn't she?
Very worrying times. The cliff edge is very close indeed.
Keep well Mark.

Mark should spend today's show pretending to be on his phone, so he doesn't have to take our questions. Perhaps Mark could wave to an imaginary crowd supposedly positioned behind cameramen, thank that imaginary crowd for its support, and beat a hasty retreat to avoid questions.
Why do Kamala Harris and Tim Walz take these steps to avoid speaking to the press? Is their tactic clever, juvenile, or something else? Isn't the press relatively sympathetic to Harris-Walz? If so, why bother with the ruse?

Dear Mark,
Our former policeman and leader of the his majesty's loyal opposition party in Australia Mr Peter Dutton was interviewed on Sky News recently and said: I would say to anyone in our community whether it's in your friendship group, your family group, your work group, if you see their behavior changing or their thoughts change radically about the government, you need to report that information to ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Agency) or the federal police as a matter of urgency.
As someone who now despises our present governments both state and federal, are you going to dob me in for my thought crimes?

Dear Mr. Steyn,
Since you feature music frequently on your broadcasts, no doubt you have an abiding concern for the state and the fate of the Arts. Could modern technology threaten this most Human of creations? It's a bit disconcerting to see what Generative AI can "create" in the way of images, text and music today. Is it possible that many creative jobs will go the way of pre-industrial artisans and craftsmen?
There's a wild ironic twist to all this- some say that AI will snuff out white collar jobs first, with skilled tradesmen being the last employed Humans standing (South Park recently did a great spoof on that premise). For me there is a dark aspect to Generative AI. In some ways it's really plagiarism-on-a-microchip, the use of previously manmade creations at the speed of electron, maybe even without due credit or compensation to the sad sucker that created it. Well, no one gave a damn about the fate of the blacksmith... Progress marches on, with the usual collateral damage.

If you created a required reading list for all citizens of western nations, what would be on it?

Dear Mark:
I understand the reasons why those in positions of authority have a tendency to lie. Most of all it is to maintain their positions of power. If they refuse to take responsibility for something they've done that is unpopular I get it. What I don't understand is why so many people accept the lies even though the evidence of perfidy is right before their eyes,
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hollywood celebrities and the news media can go on day and night in an attempt to convince us that it's only our imagination that prices for everyday goods have skyrocketed, that crime has gone up, and that illegal immigration is harming society, but we're being slapped in the face by the truth on a daily basis.
There are signs throughout Europe that the natives are getting restless and have finally opened their eyes. I'm not so sure that is the case here in America... I guess we'll find out in November. Assuming that the populations of the west have indeed had enough of what their leaders have foisted upon them, is it too late for a course correction, or have we passed the point of no return?
Take good care.
Sincerely,
Scott Schertzer

Hi Mark, what do you make of the UK Conservative Party leadership contest? I"m so depressed. The leading candidate at present is the cardboard cut out Robert Jenrick, who seems to blend a parody Tory-boy with the usual career politician who's never learned anything beyond spin and flannel. It's hard to identify any one in LibLabConGrn who isn't fake. Is it me?

Hi, Mark!
I was very angry to see another church in Saint-Omer, Pas-de-Calais, France consumed by flames. The suspected arsonist was just released from prison after having previously been convicted of other church arson incidents. One watch group said they've documented a thousand attacks against the church in France in one form or another. Does this anti-church crime spree not also classify as crimes against the state as churches are often considered the heartbeat of a town or village? At least they used to be, or was that a quaint trend in the distant past?
