Any idea why Ireland is now so anti-semitic? Not the old "the Jews killed Jesus" story as they are not so religious anymore.
Wish you were on this great cruise and got to talk to people like Sammy Woodhouse, Samantha Smith and Ann McElhinney who introduces Mark at the shows and should have been a standup comedian.

Chag Pesach Sa'meach, Miss Laura!
Tres impressed ~ & grateful! ~ you could carve out
time for the Q&A amidst last-minute preparations.
I can't remember if I've already weighed in on the
tariffs, but, at the risk of being redundant (in the
American sense, not the Commonwealth sense),
I'm all in on punitive tariffs on our enemies ~ china,
russia, etc. I would add Turkey to that list, but that's
a more nuanced conversation.
As for friendlies, I see no point to tormenting them.
We're never going to have trade parity with anyone ~
American appetites for consumption are more voracious,
& we have more wealth & people to indulge them.
Have a glorious celebration of freedom!!

Hi Laura, do you have any strong feelings one way or another about President Trump's tariffs? Do you think this is a good time to buy stocks and if so do you have any tips?

Who is going to win the cage match between Elon Musk and Peter Navarro, who have been trading barbs on X (Twitter) over Trump's tariffs?

Laura,
I hope you are well.
The case of Livia Tossici-Bolt who was found guilty of being inside an abortion buffer zone with a sign saying "here to talk if you want" is the latest punch to the solar plexus of Christendom.
Thankfully, crowd funding has raised her £20,000 fine.
Given the UK's deathbed birth rate (Islam aside of course) and the fact that we kill more than 4,000 foetuses a week, is it fair to say that the passing of abortion legislation was the top of the slippery slide that we are now almost at the bottom of?
Keep well Laura.

Dearest Laura, you have mentioned that you are busy preparing for Passover. Could you please talk a little bit about what is involved with your preparation for the holiday?

Hi Laura, I am writing with greetings from the outrageously delightful Mark Steyn Cruise, and I have a question about funding international cruises. Given the organizations that have been on the receiving end of USAID disbursement of US taxpayers' money, I think it's a reasonable assumption that many millions of dollars have paid for luxury cruises for the Democrat NGOs. What do you think about having all Steyn Club members receive reparations in the form of fully paid staterooms on, say, the next five Steyn cruises? Many Club members hail from Canada, Europe and elsewhere—so the grants could be fairly characterized as "international development."

Hi Laura, always nice to hear you are guest hosting. What do you make of the attacks on Elon Musk and on Teslas? Do you think this is an ad hoc campaign or something more organized?

I have always been firmly in the pro-nap camp.
I would nap at lunch at work & I car nap during
road trips.
Naps are glorious.

Laura, as a Canadian (and Mark is a Canadian), what are you seeing in the news there about the second Trump administration writ the US-Canada relationship? In the news here, we're seeing more stories about Canadians no longer wanting to vacation here, and Americans that vacation there, are getting reprimanded. Any sage advice from our neighbor to the north?

With all the news this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House again this week... His second visit to the US since Trump took office. What was your biggest takeaway from this latest meeting (ceasefire, tariffs, regional stability)?
