Hi Mark
After Obama was elected, my wife and I looked into moving to Australia, but their immigration policies are quite strict, and we probably wouldn't qualify. I guess we could just go as tourists and overstay our visas, but my feeling is that if the United States does go down, there's no place in the world that's going to be pleasant to live in.
Do you have any advice for potential emigrees?

Hi Mark -
Serious topic questions:
- Brexit - will it happen?
- US corruption - will it ever be addressed?
More entertaining question:
I know you're not a fan of the overly CGI'd superhero flicks, but I personally think these and the Harry Potter books/movies are the only way to introduce the masses to the timeless themes of good versus evil, individual rights, etc. If you look at almost every movie - and I do mean the actual movies, not the drivel their stars espouse - they are almost universally conservative in message. The bad guy in the Avengers' films, Thanos, is pure Malthusian crap, yet the Avengers are looking to stand up for every individual and not sacrifice to the collective while fighting this evil. Harry Potter is much the same in its exploration of good versus evil; Neville's speech at the end of the series is downright Churchill-ian.
Are superhero and fantasy movies the only way remaining for the Hollywood folks to send a real message, albeit perhaps by accident?
Love the Q&As, tuning in now!

Hi Mark, what do you think about the trifecta of Jew-hating shrews in Congress? Yesterday, Ilhan Omar called Stephen Miller a white nationalist and it's all HITLER HITLER HITLER with the left on Trump. Is this the unavoidable present and future of the Democratic party? Are there Dems that can buck this Corbynish trend?

Hi Mark,
Re: The House Russian collusion "investigation".
Democrats in the House are subpoenaing Barr & Mueller because they are convinced the Mueller report was fixed, and they supposedly want to get to the bottom of what they know is a cover-up, yet they seem to have no interest in subpoenaing the people who were on the front line of the investigation. Since they are convinced that Barr is a Trump stooge, isn't it a bit odd that they don't want to put Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Strzok, Page etc. on the stand to get the REAL lowdown on Trump's corruption?
Your thoughts?
Thanks, Joe Huber

Hi Mark,
Does Donald Trump fit the Fiscally Liberal, Socially Conservative mold? He is certainly no fiscal conservative.
Was that part of his success or was it just that he talked about immigration, the decaying Mid-West and other topics that the Elites decided were beyond debate?

It looks like the "progressives" are growing within the Democratic Party and have completely intimidated the so-called "moderates". They've gone full-blown socialist, pro-Corbyn,anti-Israel and antisemitic.
We are seeing "eviction notices" placed on Jewish students' doors at Emory University by the SJP, we are seeing Jews accused of buying politicians, and even left-wing Jews have been told to leave progressive spaces. Is it time for American Jews to be studying Modern Hebrew?

Hi Mark. Fiscally liberal, culturally conservative might win elections, but can it sustain a society? Won't trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see ultimately be just as fatal as unlimited immigration or fatherless children? You've written about the difficulty of weaning people off the welfare state. Is it possible?

Supporters of social democratic states presume that individuals will continue to be granted rights. But the reality is that the central control authority can only be influenced by organized groups. This presents a fundamental challenge to the founding principles of the United States. The great failing of the leaders of our political right is that they are unaware of this reality. This leads them to campaign on their ability to manage the apparatus more efficiently than the loony left, but they are hopelessly incompetent in defending our great experiment. Do you agree, or is there another dimension to the failure of our political class?

Mark, as you have traveled around the planet have you observed a country that has shown a sliver of success in actually helping homeless/mentally ill men? I don't have faith in federal government in solving anything. But local governments are cash strapped and faith based groups can only really assist at a one to one relationship level.

Just wondering if you had any updates on your cockwombling trial stuff from a couple weeks ago? I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this and can only imagine the stress you're under in dealing with this. There's loads of us in your corner sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way for a good outcome. Take care!

Mark, I just caught a terrific speech you gave to Congress on the topic of how the Left was trying to shut down the debate on climate change. They do it now with their "damn-the-torpedoes, go ahead, full speed" development of renewables, in spite of the evidence that the implementation of renewable sources of energy, to the point where non-renewable power sources will be, by their projections, eliminated by 2050, will bankrupt people.
You underscored the importance of being able to debate topics of science because science is never settled and it should not be entwined with politics. You also made a terrific point how it shows how weak the views and decrees emanating from these Leftists are on many topics because instead of taking on the vigorous debate and tackling opposing points of view, they have to shut you up because they are incapable of admitting their ideas are so bad.
This was such a powerful speech that i think I knocked over my desk chair, stood up and cheered. I think it would make a terrific campaign speech. Did you ever think of launching a gubernatorial campaign for New Hampshire someday?

Possible future topic for you to address:
One of the perplexing things about the Collusion narrative--
The minute quantity of Russian Facebook/Twitter posts (which also targeted Trump to some extent) and the immense power they supposedly had in swaying the rubes in PA and the Midwest. In contrast, virtually nothing has been said about the DNC's carefully orchestrated $100MM scam of illegal donations to Hillary that were funneled through states. That is 1000X the illegal activity by Russia This was done by the party brass, experts on election law and willing donors. It was referred to the FEC, but it hasn't resulted in fines, jail time or public repudiation by the all-seeing MSM.
Apparently, the Dems liked the Russian approach so much that they did the same illegal Facebook/Twitter stuff on a broader basis in the Alabama Senate election, but they were apparently successful in spreading lies about Judge Moore.
Democrats are sometimes fortunate in unforced errors by Republicans in nominating poor candidates--but, Democrats never seem to pay the price for the same [getting to break election laws to replace crooks in the NJ Senate or having hard blue voters simply ignore the corruption and lawlessness of others].

Hey, Mark, thought you'd like to tell your son that they are selling Kinder Eggs in Minnesota grocery stores now. I've seen them twice in 2 different stores in the checkout lines. But they call them "Kinder Joy" but they are egg-shaped. I had to look and they do have toys inside the chocolate. They all seemed to be Star Wars themed for some reason.
