The UK Supreme Court pronounced today that "defining a woman is beyond the competency of the Scottish Government".That surely means that it is also well beyond the competency of a certain former DPP and a whole host of famous people and luvvies including the wee Scottish lass formerly First Minister of Tartan who took it upon themselves to apparently do so and make the lives of some women sheer hell for months and years (including the life of J R Rowling). Do you think they should apologise in public or 'face the music' in some way?. What about the authorities who have been attempting to sack nurses who knew the law better than they did?

Dear Mark:
While the jetlag has yet to wear off, the Mrs. and I had a truly wonderful time on last week's cruise. It's always good to meet up with fellow club members to commiserate regarding societal decline. The panels (and panelists) were terrific, and it was good to see you in relatively good health. We look forward to doing it all again in about 18 months.
Back here in the states, the federal judiciary is doing its best to create a Constitutional crisis (I know, I know, don't wave that Constitution at me). Sometime over the past 250 years or so, they have decided that adjudicating the law isn't quite enough to satisfy their ego's and have taken it upon themselves to legislate from the bench. They continue to put stops to various of Trump's executive orders and are telling him how he ought to be running the executive branch.
The Democrats have been shouting about the threat Trump poses to "our democracy", yet they seem comfortable with letting those in the only unelected branch of government call the shots. I think it's high time to impeach a judge or two and put the judiciary back in its place. Either that or the Donald should just start ignoring their edicts and dare them to stop him. What say you?
Sincerely,
Scott Schertzer

Dear Mark--
In 2017, Rush facepalmed when Trump told him that he was surprised by the ferocity of the opposition against him. Trump apparently believed that everyone would get along with him after the election and that no one in his administration would try to undermine him.
As far as you can tell, has Trump corrected that mindset with respect to the court orders and the tariff drama?
If it turns out that this Doge stuff is ground to a halt because no lawyers were consulted then Trump learned nothing important from the first term. The tariff drama will look terrible if it wasn't thought through and if "Liberation Day" gets postponed anytime a billionaire says so. And why can't the Omnibus Whatever Bill making its way through Congress include a provision that prevents shutdowns by automatically funding the government at the previous year's actual receipts?
I'm starting to feel despair about the countdown to the Stacey Abrams-AOC administration in 2029. Please help. :)

Mark, The opportunity to take three Steyn Cruises has been a source of great joy for me—immeasurable really. I am deeply in your debt, and I thank you and every member of your extraordinary, beautiful team.
It is absurd to hear people of all types talk about candidates for the 2028 presidential election, but I am in America so—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Do you think we may be at the early days of the Letitia James for President movement? She is 58 and apparently was born in Brooklyn, the Constitution waves her through. Will the USA be willing to go for two native New Yorkers in a row?

It would be sweet if Tish James was charged and convicted of actual fraud (as opposed to the fairy tale fraud she charged Trump with).
But ill Omar should be charged with falsely representing herself on immigration documents, stripped of her citizenship and deported back to Somali...
If she wants to hate on the United States, let her do it from the bleephole she came from, if they'll let her speak.
Your take?

What do you make of Ben Habib taking over the fledgling Integrity Party? The right of UK politics is already somewhat crowded with smaller parties as you'll no doubt be aware (and no I don't include the Tories or Reform).
Is 4 years enough time for a start up to get meaningful traction under first past the post?
Keep well Mark.

Dear Mark- glad to have you back after your no doubt wonderful cruise.
Years ago you referred to the "fetishization" of the police by the likes of Sean Hannity, various conservatives and Republicans and of course our own President Trump.
While I am 100% a MAGA Trump supporter, I do not share the President's passion for law enforcement officers and coppers- based on my own experiences here in suburban NY. with various sheriff's and state troopers.
We have more police per square mile than most European countries, not to mention equipment that would have Ukraine Zelenskyy drooling with envy.
I am also worried about the unlimited powers that have been given to ICE and other federales. It's so much easier to arrest a woman of a certain age than it would be to bust one of those gang bangers.
Would love to know your thoughts on this conundrum.

Dear Mark,
Enjoyed the cruise tremendously and am looking forward to next year's North American sailing.
Watching the ship shows, I received a certain sense of discouragement over the loss of free speech in the UK. At this time, it seems the UK government has the upper hand and the peoples not finding much if any traction in getting their rights back. During the time we in the US were losing free speech through government guiding social media in squashing opposition posts, that felt discouraging. After the November election in the US, that discouragement is now gone as the country took an off-ramp. Yet, somehow in the UK, they passed the US and seems to continue to careening down the road of lost free speech.
To that end and in light of your 'Don't shake that Constitution at me' admonishments, would you now say it can be said that actually having the First Amendment in a written down format might be a better way to go as it makes ignoring a free person's free speech right somewhat harder to ignore?

Not to be forgotten, Australia is in the throes of an election campaign too. I am not super well informed on their politics, but it is my understanding that their present PM is a Down Under clone of Kier Starmer and so regime change would be a good idea. Any thoughts?

It's a stark difference to the previous administration. Does this apparent unison give you any hope that we might see some meaningful progress in the Middle East?

Terrible news that the patriotic Canadian demonstrators may get two years jail time and lose their assets. And that Mark Carney who in an opinion piece in our national newspaper urged the government to invoke the most severe pénalités including cutting off their funds from supporters' advice which Trudeau shortly afterwords took by invoking the Emergency Act and freezing bank accounts.
As for the cruise fabulous to meet some of the more frequent Steyn online commentators, hug "honey badger fighter" Sammy Woodhouse, gain a few pounds from the great food (especially too many croissants and pistachio cakes), visit charming Spanish and Portuguese towns and an incredible golden dollhouse in Windsor Castle and enjoy the top talent at shows on the Apex.
Back to la petite vie, cold weather and a cough I probably picked up in one of the airports but sustained by the memories as I face the coming élection which incredibly looks like the end of any chance of ever having a Conservative government again. 39% support gave Harper a majority, but now with the leftist voters deserting their parties to vote Liberal to prevent the Conservatives from forming a government, we see that Canada is fundamentally a progressive country and doomed.
p.s. Just heard Tommy Robinson's appeal to get out of solutary confinement for a civil offence has been turned down. More grinding lawfare as in Canada. What do you think Brits will do?

This connection is sometimes noted but never really discussed. Whenever there is an event despicably evil taking place there's always a Harvard Man and / or a Massachusetts man at the center of it all.
Pierre Trudeau - Harvard. Mark Carney and Chrystia Freehand - Harvard.

Hello Mark,
I think that Trump should look to Lincoln's words to Chief Justice Taney, ""The candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal," Lincoln said."
The Biden admin, imo, allowed and encouraged an invasion of the United States. I believe we are in an emegency situation.
