Lie, Lie, and Lie Again
The Mark Steyn Club has just celebrated its eighth birthday. We thank all the First Fortnight Founding Members who've decided to re-up for a ninth season with us - and we hope our First Month members will want to do the same as May chunkers on. I'll be back this evening, Tuesday, with the latest episode of our eighth-birthday Tale for Our Time, Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K Jerome - and also here tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3pm North American Eastern (8pm British Summer Time) for our latest Clubland Q&A, taking questions from Mark Steyn Club listeners around the world. Hope you can swing by. ~I am so bored with being lied to. I am even bored with the new lies being told to cover the old lies: Now It Can Be Told!!! The Behind-the-Scenes ...
Politics & Current Affairs
No Change, and Decay
Programming note: I'll be back this evening, Monday, with the latest episode of our eighth-birthday Tale for Our Time, Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K Jerome. ~A STEYN I-TOLD-YOU-SO MOMENT: As I have written often, the consistent message from the permanent ruling class around the west is that nothing will be permitted to change on anything that matters. Of the two principal popular revolts of almost a decade ago - the Trump election and the Brexit vote - the jury is still out on Trump 47 (America's last chance), but Brexit is dead. A theme of my book The Prisoner of Windsor is that there is no Brexit. It never happened - or, perhaps more precisely, it was never permitted to happen. And so, as the PM tells the King, Britain is now ...

Laura's Links
The New Canada
Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links. I'll start off by riffing a little on Mark's theme of "as I said twenty years ago". My variation on that theme has been trying to explain very slooooooowly to anyone who will listen, for the past twenty or so years, that Canada is going the way of Europe...

German Today, French Tomorrow
Programming note: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I'll be hosting another edition of our Clubland Q&A taking questions from Steyn Clubbers live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - that's 8pm British Summer Time/9pm Central European. ~Thank you for your many kind comments on our eighth-birthday Tale for Our Time. There are sixty-nine others in our extensive archive. Our seventieth, however, is Jerome K Jerome's comic romp Three Men on the Bummel. It is not entirely pure escapism. In tonight's episode, for example, our trio finds themselves in a part of Europe where borders are highly conditional: Of old, Alt Breisach, a rocky fortress with the river now on one side of it and now on the other—for in its inexperienced youth the Rhine ...
