This week many made the unfortunate connection between the similarities in the treatment of Mark and Trump in the cesspools of so-called justice in the DC and New York courts.
Mann vs Steyn witness Steve McIntyre wrote:
Mark Steyn is brilliant as usual. His experience in DC was identical on key points to the Trump fiasco in New York. Including the judge disallowing relevant testimony favorable to the defense. But at the end of the day, both cases were decided by nothing more than the venue. Neither Steyn nor Trump received a fair hearing from a jury representing a balanced political spectrum. They were both lynched by partisan juries.
And, reader Russell Working tweeted:
With all the support flooding in for Donald Trump, remember the original Braveheart, Mark Steyn, in his dark hour. Buy the hockey stick, buy his books, and (what we're finally doing) subscribe to his club.
Welcome to the club Russell and the many others who joined for the first time this week. Thank you also to our founding members who have renewed as we enter our eighth year. Your ongoing support helps keep Mark fighting.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~ "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was featured in Steyn's Song of the Week on Sunday.
~ A special edition of The Mark Steyn Show - marking Memorial Day in America - was re-aired on Monday.
~ On Tuesday, Mark explained why the upcoming general election in the UK is "an irrelevant election".
~ Mark returned to the microphone on Wednesday for our weekly Clubland Q&A, fielding questions from Mark Steyn Club members regarding the jury deliberations in the Trump show trial in New York. He also found time for a song for Royal Oak Day.
~ On Thursday, Laura Rosen Cohen shared her carefully curated links from around the world.
~ In our most read piece of the week on Friday, Mark examined the unjust verdict in the Trump trial and what it means for the future.
~ On Saturday, Mark's new show "On The Town" was broadcast on Serenade Radio - with replay available for club members here.
~ Later, Rick McGinnis returned with his review of Japanese film "Sword of Doom".
The week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm UK.
Also, we will have a review of our friends Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer new off-Broadway play, October 7: In Their Own Words, later today.
