Hello again and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links and what a week it was! Obviously, the highlight of the week was watching the inauguration of President Trump for his second term, the greatest political comeback in history. This is the best American blockbuster of all time. Plus, it has been particularly gratifying to watch and hear of all of the Executive Orders and new and immediate policy directions and directives. A more street smart, hardened and mature President Trump started using his power even before entering the White House and has hit the ground running. Remember how Mark always talks about Republicans being in office and Democrats being in power? Well, at least to me, it seems that, finally, there is a Republican ...

If you missed today's edition of Steyn's Clubland Q&A live around the planet, here's the action replay. This week's show focused mainly on the priorities of the forty-seventh president - and breaking news of the Diversity Stabbing of the Day in Germany.

Thank you for all your kind comments this last grisly year, and thank you to all the brand new members of The Mark Steyn Club - and to those long-time members who've bought a chum a SteynOnline Gift Certificate or a Mark Steyn Club Gift Membership. Notwithstanding a touch of bird flu or monkeypox or whatever, Mark managed an hour-and-a-quarter of what we think ...

Programming note: Tonight, Tuesday, I'll be here with another episode of our brand new Tale for Our Time. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we'll have a post-inaugural Clubland Q&A with questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm Greenwich Mean Time/9pm Central European. Hope you can swing by. ~Nice to see the wife of one of the most heroically heroic figures in American history belatedly waking up to the realisation that her hubby's no Jim Biden but just some schlub off the boat from Odessa who got played for a sucker by Mister Ten Per Cent: OK, I changed my mind. These pardons were worth it just so I could see Rachel Vindman throw a tantrum over not getting one. pic.twitter.com/HFzUmgaaZh — ...

Today is the seventy-fifth anniversary of George Orwell's death. You might wish to observe the occasion with my serialisation of Nineteen Eighty-Four - which can be heard here. Its combination of state violence and official lies seems more relevant to Keir Starmer's Britain than it should be.
