Happy Father's Day to all our dads and daddies, pops and paters around the world. Steyn will present our traditional observances later this morning.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with Tal Bachman continuing to move the ball down the field, and Steyn remembering the lady who introduced the world's best-known Brazilian song to the rest of the planet.
~On Monday, following a very rough week health-wise, in and out of hospital on both sides of the border, Mark returned with an update on his lawsuit against the UK media censor Ofcom and the woeful mortgaging of "free speech" to Orwellian agencies such as the "Counter-Disinformation Policy Forum": it was our most-read piece of the week.
Many viewers, listeners and readers have asked how they can support Steyn's important suit in the English High Court. Please scroll down the page for more information.
Later on Monday Mark launched a new week of The Mark Steyn Show. He started with his old boss Conrad Black previewing Tuesday's arrest (again) of Donald Trump:
Also on the show was Eva Vlaardingerbroek with some plain speaking about a bloody assault in an Annecy park - and the weedy passivity of French reaction to it:
All that plus Stats Man Jamie Jenkins. Click here to see the full episode.
If you've missed a Steyn Show in recent weeks, you can now find the most recent edition and close to 300 episodes from the archives in reverse chronological order here.
~Tuesday's Steyn Show saw the return to our show of a lady who is being, in effect, sentenced to death by the Canadian courts:
Sheila Lewis from Alberta, Canada is being denied a life-saving organ transplant because she won't take the Covid vaccine, even though she has natural immunity from getting Covid twice.

Ben Scallan followed with an Irish take on mass migration and national sovereignty, and Leilani Dowding rounded out the hour with some thoughts on Bill Gates and the world's biggest mosquito farm:

As mentioned during the broadcast, Leilani will be joining Steyn on next month's Mark Steyn Cruise - and with no vax/test requirements whatsoever. So, if you'd like to see the beautiful Adriatic in the company not only of Miss Dowding but of Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Mister Snerdley, Michele Bachmann and more, we hope you'll consider cruising our way:
Also on Tuesday Mark and his old EIB comrade Mister Snerdley addressed Trump's arraignment in Miami, and Justin Trudeau's cloud blitzkrieg on America:
~On Wednesday, The Mark Steyn Show presented our midweek panel of Leilani Dowding, Alexandra Marshall and Dominique Samuels to take the pulse of the planet - from migrant murder and digital currency to ruling-class entitlement and electric vehicles:
Rowan Atkinson was crucified by the #left for daring to say, 'Hold on, I'm not so sure about the utopian promises of these electric vehicles.'
Science welcomes questions, but the climate change cult freaks out under scrutiny.

~On Thursday's Steyn Show Mark presented a special edition on the latest stage of the long goodbye to Boris Johnson, with contributions from Conrad Black, David Starkey, Kathy Gyngell, Samantha Smith and Mark Steyn Cruisemates Leilani Dowding and John O'Sullivan. Click here to see the full show.
Also on Thursday Laura's Links rounded up the Internet, from US taxpayer-funded gain-of-function in Wuhan to the over-medicalization of Americans on the home front.
~On Friday Mark hosted another Clubland Q&A with questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet on topics from the decrepitude of Biden to the decline of Fox News post-Tucker. You can listen to the whole show here.
~For his Saturday movie date, Rick McGinnis picked Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8.
As mentioned above, many of you have asked how you can support Mark's important lawsuit against the UK state censor Ofcom in the English High Court. There are multiple ways to do so, including:
a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;
b) buying a chum a SteynOnline gift certificate;
c) ordering him or her Mark's new book; or
d) treating your loved one to a stateroom on next month's Mark Steyn Cruise.
In the first two cases, 100 per cent of the proceeds and, in the latter two, a significant chunk thereof go to a grand cause - and you or your loved one gets something, too.
As to that new book, The Prisoner of Windsor, the five-star reviews are beginning to pile up around the world. John writes at Amazon.com:
Excellent storytelling with hilarious satire!
Mark Steyn has used the style of an 1890's novel to craft a masterpiece that lampoons all of today's climate & woke culture. Don't miss it!
