Live Around the Planet: Thursday September 16th
Today, Thursday, I'll be conducting another edition of our Clubland Q&A, live across the globe at 11am North American Eastern/3pm Greenwich Mean Time/4pm British Summer Time. We'll try to pin down the rest of the time zones below, but do, as they say, check local listings. On today's rundown, I'm happy to take questions on almost anything, from the floppo California recall and Shanghai Milley to the dispiriting Canadian election and Alberta's U-turn on vaccine passports. Plus any news from overseas you want to raise. As you know, certain topics hold little interest, but I'll do my best to disguise that (or not).

Politics & Current AffairsBeijing's Man on the Inside

In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People's Liberation Army, that the United States would not strike, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa...

Politics & Current AffairsBush Re-Enters the Room
The official observances for the twentieth anniversary managed to be even more wretched and grotesque than I'd expected - the most obvious affront being Bush's equivalence between the perpetrators of 9/11 and the "perpetrators" of 1/6: They were both "children of the same foul spirit", he declared, diminishing the three thousand victims of the former by comparing them to a congressman who had to hide in the stationery cupboard because some goofball was taking selfies with his feet up on the desk. Twenty years ago, the forty-third president's entire executive branch totally failed the nation. Sample quote from page 184 of America Alone: FAA Command Center: "Do we want to think about scrambling aircraft?" FAA Headquarters: "God, I don't know ... Steyn's Song of the WeekGod Bless America
