Some thoughts from new members of The Mark Steyn Club...
Lenny from Massachusetts:
I'm proud to support you, Mark, especially having gone against the government Goliath myself. Like me, I know you'll come out fine on the other end. Take hope and inspiration from Trump.
Jeff from Nebraska:
I'm signing up purely for updates on who is ahead 2 points in Iowa.
Jonathan from Mark's home state of New Hampshire:
Mr. Steyn, I've followed you for 20+ years (in a non-stalking way :) ). I haven't signed up for membership before because I'm a cheap bastard. Please consider this my thank you for shouldering the burdens of the masses with humor and grace all these years. You're a tough hombre!
And, returning member Alison from Kent has it sorted:
I get a lot of my information/entertainment from this one subscription. Having stopped my BBC licence, that works out as incredibly good value.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark...
~ On Sunday, we shared a replay of Mark's show from the weekend after the 2020 election as our Topical Take.
~ Steyn's Song of the Week was a Remembrance Day/Armistice Day/Veterans Day reprise of a special audio edition devoted to a song from the Great War: "Roses of Picardy".
~ On Remembrance Day, Mark discussed "The Best Blood, the Worst Wars".
~ On Tuesday, he was "Looking for an Argument".
~ Mark returned to the Clubland Q&A microphone on Wednesday fielding questions on Trump's new team ...and the same old-same old over in the Senate.
~ Laura's Links was back at it on Thursday with Laura Rosen Cohen's enthusiastic response to the post-election progress in America, plus some moments devoted to human grace.
~ On Friday, Mark reviewed the state of the current war on free speech and the one man up against NATO and Three-Sevenths of the G7.
~ The latest episode of Mark Steyn On the Town - including a Sinatra Sextet celebrating Frank and the late Quincy Jones down the decades - was made available to club members.
~ Later on Saturday, Rick McGinnis reviewed Laurel & Hardy's "Sons of the Desert" in Rick's Flicks.
A new week begins later today at Serenade Radio with Steyn's Song of the Week at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm GMT.
This week, friends of Mark Steyn rallied together to launch a crowd-fund at GiveSendGo to help meet a daunting and immediate financial demand by the UK courts in connection with Mark's failed effort to stop the death of free speech there.
As Mark's friend and former GB News colleague Dan Wootton noted, they are trying to ruin him. Friend of the show Samantha Smith observed, "Mark Steyn was taken off air because he spoke too much truth and challenged the approved narrative on the vaccine injured." Another friend Leilani Dowding added, "the UK has no justice system."
The CEO of the American based GiveSendGo, who was the first to give, has assured all that - unlike the debacle with a different platform and the Canadian truckers - they will not acquiesce to pressure. It is faith based and there are no fees, save those charged by the credit card processors. If you are able and inclined, here is the link.
You may also continue to support Mark and our work here at SteynOnline in the traditional way through gift certificates, gift memberships, club membership, the store, and our annual cruise.
