Well, in the country with the world's greatest constitution and the world's lousiest election system, it's now five days since the laughably misnamed "Election Day". So how's it going? In California's fourteenth congressional district, they've now managed to count an impressive forty-four per cent of the vote! This is the home turf of Representative Eric Shagdwell, the Chinese asset penetrated by Fang Fang. So one would not have thought the outcome in doubt. But for various reasons they're still going to be counting until next weekend at least. So I take it this fourteenth congressional district is a vast tract of semi-wildnerness recently devastated by Hurricane Helene? Actually, no, it's a chunk of suburban Alameda County - a ...

On the eve of Remembrance Day/Armistice Day/Veterans Day, this week's edition of Mark Steyn on the Town plays the music of the Great War - songs that are over a hundred years old but are still sung, including a summer pop hit from 2010; a soldiers' favourite that supposedly evokes the sound of French bedsprings; and the only Sinatra track to be banned across the British Empire. To listen to the programme, simply click here and log-in. ~Last week's pre-election edition of On the Town attracted a lot of comment. Peter, a First Week Founding Member of The Mark Steyn Club, writes: Nice show as always Mark; a fine respite from the ugliness of the 'real' world. Hearing Frank S. interact with the Presidents, it makes me smile ironically knowing ...
It could be worse. Mark could be banged up in Belmarsh like poor old Tommy. [UPDATE: more on the corrupt two-tier UK judiciary breaking now.] Today, Justice Farbey of the High Court in London ruled: 1) the costs demanded by Ofcom are to be sent for detailed assessment on the standard basis 2) there will be a payment on account of £50,000 by 19 November 2024 3) Costs of today to be paid by the Claimants, save in relation to the written submissions which will be paid at 50% Mark will have twenty-one days to consider an appeal. Ofcom had demanded £144,959.28, refused to provide detailed billing to justify that amount, and then twisted that to mock the actual harm they have caused Mark and Naomi Wolf: (Steyn's) post ad hoc attempt to downplay ...
