Mark, does it seem to you like malpractice that the DOJ couldn't manage to report the results of their investigations into the 2016 elections before the 2018 elections? It just seems so basic to me that voters were entitled to that information before having to re-enter the voting booth.

Mark,
Whether or not one believes in Nationalism, it is necessary in politics to have a sense of the national mood, or the sense of the people. On both the Democrat and Republican side there is no shortage of pundits predicting absolute victory for their side, or at least a frustration for the opposing side based on a particular reading of that national mood. Obviously, I have my own hopes for the outcome of the day's elections, but as I sit here I can't tell you what will happen. How is it that there can be such certainty about two so diametrically opposed views of how the elections will turn out that are necessarily based on two opposing views of the national mood? I'm speaking of course of the opposing predictions of a blue wave and a red wave and the various theories of how the other side doesn't get what they want based on various issues, whether it's Trump's tweets or the treatment of Kavanaugh. Is this just wishful thinking by one side or the other, or have the two factions become so isolated that they cannot accurately assess what the other, or indeed the nation as a whole is thinking?

Dear Mark,
I'm sure you've already read that someone tried to steal or destroy the Magna Carta. I'm somewhat astonished you haven't written about it yet or spoken about it on Tucker. The attack occurred on Thursday, October 25th, and today we only know the following:
1. We know the name of the tourist from Louisiana (Matthew Delcambre, of New Iberia, Louisiana) that helped tackle him as the accused ran out of Salisbury Cathedral with his hammer.
2. We know that the accused is already out on bail until November 20th.
3. We have a picture of the damaged display case that held the Magna Carta.
4. We know how long it took for the "authorities" to arrive at the scene. When seconds mattered, the police were only 12 minutes away.
But it is now Tuesday, November 6th and we still don't have a name, picture or physical description of the accused. There is no news report about the crime that contains pertinent information after October 27th. Apparently, CNN- New York Times- NBC- CBS- ABC-ETC. hasn't called Mr. Delcambre up and asked for a physical description of the accused. What troubles me is that in this day and age the Magna Carta no longer ensures basic liberties but apparently ensures a near total media blackout about anyone who tries to destroy it. If only the accused had a van that was heavily bumper stickered with ideological quotes which would give people a clue as to his motivation, but alas, 'No Vanifesto, No Follow-up' seems to apply here. Just move along. Where is the media on this story? And what have you found out?

Hi Mark, could you comment about how mainstream antisemitism has become in the #FarrakhanDemocrat party? How can the political left on the one hand mourn so profusely and publicly about Pittsburgh and yet prance about with such vile antisemites on a daily basis. If the Pittsburgh murder had been a jihadi, would we have seen the same phenomenon?

Dear Mark - Do you have any opinion or read on technologies like crypto-currencies, blockchains and other software tools that will or might undermine some of the excesses of government? The promise is that in same way the internet has undermined traditional media, and allowed for expression outside the bounds they defined, technologies that allows for the transfer of value outside of banks and courts and other regulatory bodies will undermine the primary tools of government, hopefully for the good.

Mark - what do you see as a common thread between Trumps election and the Brexit vote? The reaction from both deep state entities has been exactly the same - seeking to deny the results of the votes. Do you see this behavior as a harbinger for how things will go with other countries as they turn to more populist governments.

On the chance Democrats do tip the House, I'm not anticipating that Presdient Trump will sign any more Omnibus budget fiascos. Spending two years in "government shut down" mode might be a salutary thing, especially with an executive who will do it intelligently (instead of purporting to shut down scenic views, as you've written so eloquently in the past). There's also a fair chance those 15,000 soldiers on the border won't come home until they've built the darn wall. If the army can build "schools" all over Iraq and Afghanistan that get turned into mosques, they can sure build a dandy wall on our own border. I'm not hoping for this scenario, but Trump thrives on this stuff. The Dems might be careful what they wish for.

Hi Mark,
Did you see the recent poll Tucker highlighted on his show last night noting that more 25% of young people under 30 believe this nation should embrace socialism? I am 41-years-old and for the life of me cannot figure why young Americas view socialism favorably. Have they not see the hell hole that is Venezuela?
Any suggestions for how we open the eyes of such young people? Thanks!

Dear Mark - Greetings from the Cory Booker/Bob Menendez state of NJ! (Yeah, think about THAT!!) I don't understand why people still speak in terms of Republicans "winning" elections. It has been profoundly demonstrated that if Republicans are elected, their victories will be de-legitimized and rejected by the opposition and their mainstream media allies . Of course, if the Democratic candidate wins, the victory is honored. Should Republicans hold this time, especially in the House thus depriving the Democrats of their "agenda" for the next two years, does ANYONE actually believe that outcome will be respected?! I certainly fear it will not. Btw, can't wait to see you on the Adorable Deplorables tour in Wilkes-Barre next year! CHEERS!! Mike S., Morris County, NJ

Hi Mark,
Why is it that the left's obsession with identity politics runs only one way? Here in NH, I've just voted for Eddie Edwards, who surely would be the state's first black congressman. But because he's the Republican candidate, chances seem likely as not that he'll get swamped under the blue wave (or trickle as you say) coming our way. Shouldn't the dems in NH be in love with this guy? But instead they'll vote for the white male candidate, who otherwise they'd have no particular use for. Does identity politics apply only so long as you march in lock-step with the approved liberal orthodoxy?

Undoubtedly, Islamism and radical Leftism are the 2 greatest threats to western civilization since the defeat of fascism and communism, both even appearing to be acting in concert with one another. Since totalitarianism of the Right (fascism) has already been discredited as an ideology, when and what will it take to discredit totalitarianism of the left (radical Leftism) and place it where it ultimately belongs...in the dustbin of history along with its close cousin, communism? Note, this struggle has already been recognized as one of the most important ones facing civilized society today by Jordan Peterson.

Mark, I wonder if you will have time to speak a bit about the centenary of the Armistice which will occur this Sunday. I have participating in, or attending, various events commemorating the end of the Great War and the disproportionate role played by Canadian soldiers in achieving the Allied victory. But if there is one discordant note in all this, it is the lack of effort by the Canadian government (including, to their shame, Veterans Affairs) to make this a profound and significant day of remembrance. You have spoken about the future of countries without a mature sense of their past, and I feel that if we fail to mark this of all occasions, then what on earth will be worth honouring? It's as though we prefer to refuse the inheritance of the past and the contribution of our forebears, so that we can get a few days off here and there. I'd appreciate your thoughts on what I think is the most important historical anniversary of our lifetimes. Thank you very much.

Went to an early Remembrance Day ceremony and realized I had forgotten some of the lyrics to God Save the Queen. The second verse which I never knew is quite amazing ('frustrate their knavish tricks')!
I remember singing Oh Canada before school started and saying the Lord's Prayer. How can we be nationalists if we don't even sing our national anthem in school? Have to say I still sing the old version of Oh Canada.
God Save Our Queen:
"God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen,
God save The Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Reading of the European Human Rights recent ruling against the Austrian woman caused me to think of H-569. A resolution several democrats introduced back in Dec. 2015.

That we could find ourselves in the same predicament as many of those in Europe is truly alarming..

Hi Mark,
I never did view the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine's cartoons satirizing Mohammed for which the staff at the Charlie Hebdo Paris office lost their lives in that violent and deadly assault that terrible day one January not long ago. I'm assuming the cartoons are no longer viewable but they must be somewhere, or have they been ordered destroyed? Do you think they will ever be resurrected and archived at a major library somewhere in the world? Shouldn't people, cartoonists in particular, be aware of what drawings they produce could mean death?
I think of major pivotal events in history that have happened and usually generations to come can view photos or evidence of them somewhere at some point in time, even though due to the sensitive or volatile nature of the event in question near to the occurrence of that event they are prohibited to view.
For example, when I passed through Little Rock, Arkansas once I thought it might be the last chance I would have to see The Clinton Presidential Library. While I was not expecting to see the famous blue dress, I was very creeped out that there was no mention at all of Monica and how disruptive that oval office affair was to the normal business of the country for over a year.
With the way the courts are deciding free speech issues, are we entering a new Dark Age of Ignorance?
