Greetings Mark- hope all is well with you.
Two questions:
1. Any thoughts on the Elon- Trump falling out and Elon's recent claim that Steve Bannon was on the Epstein client list?
2. In any given week, there are those writers or pundits who claim that there is an actual Satanic connection to all these evil deeds and those who perpetrate them. Having recently revisited C.S. Lewis' poly-sci fiction, "That Hideous Strength" I am starting to believe that there's more to all our current events than meets the eye.
Wondering if you are familiar with the CSL books and if so- your thoughts.
Best wishes from Nueva York!

Dear Mark--
Do you have a moment for a question not related to depressing world headlines?
I read this week that a federal appellate court found that Jay Livingston's daughter properly reclaimed for herself the copyrights to 32 of Jay's songs, including "Que Sera, Sera" and "Jingle Bells." Apparently Jay's granddaughter was fighting for control of the copyrights.
Did you ever interview Jay? And if the granddaughter keeps fighting then would an appropriate song title be, "Que Sera, File for Cert"?

Any idea where are action prime minister Mark Carney is on vacation?
Like Trudeau towards the end he often doesn't publish his itinerary so protestors can't gather and just because. He should be at Harrington Lake where the Canadian PM residence renovated recently at high cost is. But I bet he is in England as he isn't really Canadian.

Mark,
One of the most sanctimonious phrases constantly being tossed about in polite society is "That is not who we are."
Am I alone in being nauseated by people who use it?

Hi Mark-
Here is a heart friendly question. Maybe you can ask Mr. Steyn himself when he drops by to tell us about his upcoming weekend music shows.
I have been enjoying making my way through all of your music shows and am delighted to think of the gems of information I take away with each one. What fascinates me is how, at such a young age, you came to interview so many great composers and lyricists. It always seemed to me that the person you were interviewing appreciated your insight and ability to understand the circumstances of the songs as they were being created which was usually well before your time. No one ever seemed to talk down to you.
It is my ignorance of your early professional life that probably makes this a stupid question and I mean no disrespect but I can't help but wonder if you were pinching yourself at the time and find yourself looking back now with even more amazement of the opportunities you had to meet, speak with and even befriend these great people?
Thanks
Juli Olson

Question: My grand-daughter just returned from Alaska and told me "ESKIMO" is no longer a polite word in public -- racist, of course. Long ago, my daughters told me "ORIENTAL" is forbidden. -- same reason.
I'm wondering how such gorgeous and musical words as these are social gaffes. I had never thought either to be demeaning. What will the CFL Edmonton Eskimos do with their name/mascot? How will Alaska Airlines explain its tail-fin art? And how will Occidental College respond to their equivalent dirty word on Western shores?

Mark,
I hope you are well.
More than four in ten children born in 2024 in England had at least one foreign-born parent, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.
The ten most prolific mothers by country of origin are:
India
Pakistan
Nigeria
Romania
Bangladesh
Poland
Ghana
Afghanistan
Albania
Iraq
The City of London had the highest percentage of births with at least one foreign parent at 84.4 per cent.
Outside London, the top area for foreign parents was Luton at 78.9 per cent.
This is demographic displacement and population replacement on an unprecedented scale.
Or a birth jihad to put it plainly.
Short of naturalising Eva Vlaardingerbroek and installing her as Prime Minister for 20 years, the UK is doomed isn't it?
Keep well Mark.

Greetings, Monsieur Steyn,
I am of the opinion that the Nobel Peace prize
lost all credibility when they started handing it
out to terrorists (arafat) & scam artists (obozo).
Therefore, I found it highly distasteful, on several
levels, that Bibi thought it a good idea to recommend
Trump for one. He'd have done better giving Trump
one of the Righteous Gentile awards.
The other thing irritating me this morning is the
raid on Rassemblement National headquarters.
Really, Fifth Republic? These are the final nails
you're choosing for your coffin?

Hi Mark,
The Epstein saga, like the Russia Hoax, like the just-announced criminal investigations of Comey and Brennan, and so on and so forth, are not worth the time spent wondering about them. All are going to, or have, received the DURHAM REPORT treatment.
None of us like it that evil and seditious actors will not be brought to justice, but this is unfortunately the case, as past experience would seem to prove. I am more interested in what the FBI and other federal agencies are doing to investigate violent crime, illegal immigration, and other problems going on at present.
As far as that goes, the current Administration at least seems to be doing some good things. What say you?

Has the Epstein List overtaken the DURHAM REPORT on the all-time political performance art charts?
The timing of the announcement is in itself strange. Was it something agreed to in order to get a vote on the big bloated bill?
It seems that it would have been better, as far as Team Trump is concerned, to not make the announcement. Why not continue the standing ruse of saying, 'We're still working on it. Lots to look through. We have to protect the victims. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.'?

Hi Mark. I'm a long-time follower and reader, but first-time questioner. You are indeed my favourite polymath!
So, we are now told that there were no other abusers in Epstein's circle of depravity. No lists of the famous or powerful and indeed nothing suspicious at all about his leaving this mortal coil. Move along please. Nothing to see here.
And yet just a few short months ago we were assured that all will finally be revealed and that now the Trump police were in charge the truth will out. Apparently Ms. Maxwell procured girls purely for Epstein himself and all visitors to Paedo island were mere vacationers.
The MAGA crowd are not having it and Trump's apparent indifference is starting to stink. What say you Mark?
