What do you think of a new Pride parade more oriented to family and a festival atmosphere being founded in Montreal to break with the original Pride parade. Even these people can't stand the degeneracy of what the Pride parade has become!

Is "Pride Month" a distraction so we think "Pride Season" is brief? Doesn't the 2SLGBTQI+ propaganda machine churn 24-7+365days?
Follow up: Is 2SLGBTQI+ a religion?

I sense a cosmic irony here. Every year we are treated to the raucous din of Pride Month, as if this is a progressive event. But isn't it existentially self defeating? The ultimate victory for the gay and lesbian communities would come if people didn't notice them, simply regarding them as part of the landscape. The only ones that seem to benefit from all the fuss are the agitators and "organizers". Wasn't it H. L. Mencken who quipped that all movements eventually become rackets?

I notice that the "Pride Season" announcement indicates "2SLGBTQI+". I understand the "2S" to mean "two spirit" which I've heard before, although I don't know what it is...don't want to know, for that matter.
What I am curious about though, is why the 2S is now at the front of the line. Hasn't it always been LGBTQWERTY until now? Why the change? Have the L's lost status? If so, why? Just curious.
Also, didn't this "pride" stuff start as a day? Then it was a week, and then it became a month. Now it's a season. What to make of that?

Hello Mark, hope the day finds you well.
Secretary of defense Pete Hegseth has decided to rename the USS Harvey Milk,
What was the criteria for having a navy ship named after him?
Having served in the navy?
Being dishonorably discharged?
Having won elected city office?
Being influential in a social movement?
The running joke among many who served in the army, marines and Air Force is that the navy is associated with homosexuality.
I served in the navy years ago on a submarine and one of the first jokes is a homosexual one.
Many guys I knew who served told me they wouldn't serve in the navy because they didn't want to be made fun of like that.
I'm not usually one to rename things but the navy really needs to be associated as a tougher unit.
Not a bunch of limp wristed people sailing the seas.

Hi Mark,
I have a question I've been meaning to ask for some time. Who performs the wonderful version of "Canadian Sunset" that Andrew Lawton uses as his outro music when he hosts the show. I've tried to find it online without success.
I was on your recent Mark Steyn Cruise and had a fantastic time. It's s just so good to meet like minded people from all over the planet. On one evening I was lucky enough to sit next to the fabulous Scott Schertzer from Miami for dinner. He suggested that if I used the phrase " What say you" this might increase my chances of having my question read out. What say you? Regards Patrick Hayes , Melbourne.

Hi Mark,
Sonya and I really enjoyed the Mark Steyn Cruise to Spain and Portugal. The weather was perfect and we got there before the lights went out on the Iberian Peninsula. Thanks to Steve from Manhattan who acted as our tour guide and doorman while we toured Windsor Castle. We're looking forward to next year's cruise which, by October 2026, may be departing our 51st state.
We've been shopping at the Steyn Store looking for some MILF paramilitary gear to round out our ensemble on the Queen Mary 2 but haven't been able to locate the correct aisle. I was attempting to flesh out the acronym and thought these were the best of the bunch, as evaluated by ChatGPT.
1. Mark's Insouciant Liberation Front – Best for satire, humor, and personal branding. (It's hilarious because I blame you for bringing insouciant to my attention.)
2. Mark's Indigenous Liberation Front – Best for serious political signaling (but riskier). (GhatGPT doesn't appear to realize that the English are Indigenous to England.)
3. Mark's International Liberation Front – Safe and conventional. (Could work with your Che Guevara themed T-Shirts)
4. Mark's Interlocutory Liberation Front – Too abstract and detached. (But it does have a certain appeal.)
ChatGPT analyzed your oeuvre and suggested Mark's Incessant Lawfare Foundation which nicely sums up the last 13 years in the septic tank of DC Justice, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, CRTV - your jurisdiction here, and the Offal Communists at Ofcom.
What are your thoughts? We think MILF merchandise would be a great addition to the Mark Steyn Store!

Hi Mark,
I have a question that's part political and part cultural. Why can't the left "meme"? Is it that they don't have a sense of humor? After the collapse of the "TACO" fiasco, I agree with JD Vance when he observed that we have the lamest opposition ever.

Mark,
I hope you are well.
Following the collapse of the coalition in the Netherlands which was overdue but better late than never, I understand they have taken in another 130,000 immigrants against a population of 9M in the past year. By any measure, that is unsustainable.
And then there's Canada.
Population 40M taking in over 825,000 immigrants in the first quarter of 2025 and wearing it like a badge of honour.
Is there a race on to be the first country to implode itself with uncontrolled immigration?
This truly is clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right territory.
Keep well Mark.

Hi Mark,
I have recently returned from a holiday in Montenegro, where the majority of the fellow holidaymakers were from countries like Poland, Hungary and Serbia. I was extremely impressed with all the people - well put together families with married parents, with Christian values and a strong sense of culture and identity.
Do you think there is something in the fact that these countries have actually experienced Communism / authoritarianism, understood its evils and come out the other side, where as we in the West just continue to be so ignorant and blind to the consequences of the now largely completed Long March Through the Institutions.
Thanks

Dear Mark:
Whether it be war, immigration, wokeness or all the other ills we suffer in the West, is there any longer a way out? Are the enormous bureaucracies that have subsumed our democracies capable of making the necessary changes even if they wanted to?
Plato's Cycle of Regimes has it that what will inevitably follow a democracy is tyranny, the rule by a single oppressive leader. Do you agree with the ancient Greek philosopher? Would it take a tyrant to extricate us from the current morass and revitalize our civilization? And, if so, are you up to the task?
Sincerely,

Greetings, Mark- hope all is well with you.
My question concerns geo-engineering, a topic which many still consider to be a "conspiracy theory." Well we all know or have come to find out, that today's conspiracy theory is tomorrow's fact of life.
Anyway, I live in NY about 50 miles north of the island of Manhatto and our weather today which should be bright and summery is quite hazy and hot. We have been told that the haze is coming from a combination of wild fires in Canada as well as a dust storm that originated in the Sahara desert and it's a commentary on the times we live in that neither explanation seems to be far fetched.
I myself continue to notice chem trails (NOT condensation trails) all day every day in our NY skies. I assume they are poisoning us by air now that the CVD didn't do the job.
Any thoughts you might have about this fake weather situation would be appreciated by this loyal fan.

Dear Mark Steyn: I still visit NRO daily, can tell you it was very compassionate regarding Js. Comey's book tour/nervous breakdown. One article. Hey, why dwell on the fact that ex-republicans with long loyalties to the Clintons who rose to the top of our law enforcement agencies turn out to be mental midgets.
Currently, NRO hasn't yet noticed fine reporting by Margot Cleveland and Federalist on Sen. Grassley's long slog exposing FusionGPS and the Ohrs (were Nellie and Bruce Ohr ex-republicans, too?).
Seems the mighty Durham (I envy your echo chamber) did not know FBI could hide all the info it wanted with a keystroke. Here's my question- can you please stay on this story and report if/when Durham comments on whether this is news to him? Only you can say his name with such effect.

Have you discussed the "Ukrainian" drone swarm attacks on Russia's strategic nuclear bomber bases that destroyed a reported 40 aircraft? Trump administration said they didn't know anything about it--despite former Sec. of State Pompeo, Sens. Lindsay Graham and Richard Blumenthal (among others) visiting Kiev contemporaneously. Obviously the Russians may soon have second thoughts about Arms Limitation Agreements that require storing planes outdoors so satellites can count them. What do you think this means for the chances of a peace agreement in Ukraine?
