Exit polling suggests that Harris' lead among the single woman demographic, aka the cat lady set, dropped to "only" 23% from Joe and Hillary's level of about 31%.
Still doesn't this core element of the Democrat base face a demographic collapse in the near future?

Dear Mark,
Do you think it's fair to say that the recent American election was about choosing between doing more of what hasn't worked vs. changing course to what might work?
On one side: more woke, censorship, open borders, expensive intermittent green energy, big pharma, government expansion, etc.
On the other side: discarding DEI, promoting freedom of speech, securing the border, utilizing oil and gas, pivoting on health, and DOGE.
Traditional left and right seemed less important this time around. What do you say?
Warm Regards,
Bill

Mark,
The Great American Songbook, the Golden Age of Hollywood, and the Golden Age of Radio (and subsequently its offshoot, television) all arose in the first half or so of the 20th century.
Is it a coincidence, or does it stem from an abundance of talented people, or something about the spirit of the time, or does it have something to do with the breadth of the reach of what we now call mass media?

Welcome back and I hope you are well.
What is your reaction to Donald Trump's plan to reinstate those formerly in the US military with full back pay that refused the COVID vaccine?
In a week of global instability, this stood out as comfortably the most sensible and heartwarming act of leadership shown on the world stage, certainly compared to say, oh I don't know, South Korea.
Keep well Mark.

Hi Mark, I'm a fairly new member I think this is my first comment.
Have enjoyed your clubland Q and A for some time now so I am deeply interested the subject of forgiveness especially as we draw near to Christmas. I have no problem with standing against evil and hope I would even be willing to spend Christmas in the trenches as many good men have done in the past. (Been listening to your tales for our time with a WW 1 theme). What comes to mind is family and friends and the need to forgive especially at Christmas time.
Would you be willing to share any stories of forgiveness that come to mind that would help someone at Christmas time?

Mr. Steyn-
Have you any observations about that strange private members bill being floated in our House of Commons by some NDP MP that seeks to criminalize any "denial" of the woke Indian Residential School narrative?
I guess this would even include questioning the slanderous "mass graves" accusation that has still be properly investigated (wonder why it hasn't?). The scary thing is that as I understand the situation this bill is supported by the whole party.
Will there be enough sane Grits and Tories to shoot this insanity down?

One question that should always be asked: many Crusades were actually acts of aggression against people who had never been Christian, mainly on the Baltic: Lithuanians, Prussians, various small West Slavic nations.
Complaints about the better-known Middle Eastern Crusades should always be met with something like: the Lithuanians have got over the Baltic Crusades. What's YOUR problem?

Also, is it coincidence that the Tories, like the democrats over here need to recruit their leaders from around the commonwealth? Are there no home grown conservatives from which to recruit?

Dear Mark,
the Biden administration has relocated nearly 100,000 Afghans to the US through resettlement or special immigrant visas since the fall of the Taliban. It continues to charter flights from Afghanistan to third countries like Qatar so Afghans can apply for special immigrant visas.
What do you make of it all? And where was this operational resolve when we fled Kabul?

Hi Mark,
A couple of weeks ago... I submitted a comment regarding Elon's and Vivek's undertakings. I expressed concern about whether or not they intend to address the displaced workers resulting from their sweeping out the bureaucracy. If they don't sweep it out quickly, I fear it won't happen. On the other hand, I think it's appropriate to address the issue of displaced workers.
They have since stated:
"Employees whose positions are eliminated deserve to be treated with respect, and DOGE's goal is to help support their transition into the private sector. The president can use existing laws to give them incentives for early retirement and to make voluntary severance payments to facilitate a graceful exit."
I am still interested in your thoughts.

It's every person to their station in life, for the time for good is now. Keep this momentum and movement going because the pushback is coming, plans are in the works. I'm concerned about the House outcomes in the USA. A one seat majority now and only for a while as vacancies are coming with Trumps appointments. This is their weakness and it could delay and derail quite a bit. We need luck with the House and even more in Canada so that Trudeau steps out and an election is called in January. It will take some time to heal both countries and with the bad actors all around us we need, as stated, every person to their station in life and keep fighting.

Your are more right than you know...America's Secretary of Defense is supposed to be a civilian to insure civilian control of the military. When they appoint retired generals they have to get a special waiver from Congress to do so--for a very good reason: they should NOT be in charge of the military due to the temptation of self-dealing. Hesgeth may have problems, but not being a "highly-decorated" general certainly isn't one of them.

Dear Mark
I have been reading you since the end of the last century and have to say, I cannot recall anything I have disagreed with you. I joined the club at the hight of corona madness, as you were the voice that helped me to stay sane and it was my way of expressing gratitude.
Now, to the matter of whos up two points in...
My view is that you never give in on anything to the left no matter what. So it irritated me to see Matt Gaetz bowing out as an AG candidate. It is inevitable that the left takes the scalp and then moves on to take down the next victim. It never ends so you better always need to laugh at their face and ignore their demands.
Do you think Gaetz withdrew because Trump asked him, or because he lost his nerve? Why not call the bluff of the RINO senators or go down in flames doing it? That way at least you damage the RINO-s horribly too. I don't see how Trump can allow this to continue, losing his nominees one by one.

Delighted to hear Mark once again today, as always. What MS said at the end of the show about people wanting to be allowed to have their (unpasteurized?) milk and not be forced to consume Mountain Dew is a metaphor for popular support for healthy living. This is a popular thing. The public at large needs to push back against being forced into consuming an unhealthy lifestyle of processed foods, dodgy therapeutics and what not just because the people in power think we can't afford to pay for our future entitlements like SS, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc. We need to frame this as a popular support issue. The powers that be think they've got popular support for these unending entitlements locked down, but if push came to shove, we would find out we could do with less entitlement spending, especially once we find out how to live healthier into old age. We'll all need a lot less 'help' dealing with illness and dying once we ween ourselves off the unhealthy food and drugs that to a large extent are more or less designed to progressively make us ill and eventually kill us sooner. And it all starts so young, at 2 months or sooner. Immunization is a huge factor.
