is the "Obama treason" story just another distraction? Even if it's true, does anyone honestly expect Washington DC to hold anyone to account?

Dear Mark,
Lets cut to the chase with two questions:
First: Do you believe that Trump is intentionally trying to coverup crimes done by pedophiles?
Second: Do you believe the Epstein Files debacle is just a distraction from the revelations that Trump was set up by the Obama administration to be made out to be a Russian asset?
I refuse to believe that someone that who was targeted by the Deep State is now one of them. They still vote against him. They still obstruct. Don't tell me the Deep State is all for the mass deportations here in America. Please discuss. I'll just listen.

Hearing some commentary that, thanks to the SCOTUS presidential immunity ruling, Obama cannot be charged with crimes he may have committed while president. Well as we have seen very recently, anybody can be charged or sued over anything, with the charges preferably slap-chopped into as many counts as possible.
As Mark often says and has painfully experienced, the process is the punishment. I have few qualms about Obama and others being charged and having to give up some of their millions in book deals and speeches to expensive lawyers and then be eventually acquitted or have the charges thrown out. For many of them, their fame and millions resulted directly from their perfidy in this scandal, so this would be a kind of rough justice.

Hello Mark,
After listening to last week's Q&A, I just had to join up to ask if you have a clip of Mrs. Thatcher sticking it to the UN over the Falklands with those most memorable words as quoted by you, 'Bollocks off you wankers'. Do you?
Since those days it seems pretty much standard practice for every such international institution* (and courts, councils and companies at national level) to push way beyond its remit. Some, such as the Church of England, seem determined to bypass their remit completely. What can we do to hold back the overreaching, vainglorious knobs who head up these organizations?
Trump is giving it a go but the pathetic European leaders are more or less complicit and we ordinary people, in most cases, have no rights whatsoever to hold them to account.

Afghan immigrants are per capita the most prolific sex criminals in the United Kingdom. By a country mile.
24,000 of them were secretly allowed into the UK without vetting under Rishi Sunak thanks to a "super injunction".
The UK is statistically the rape capital of Europe.
Why allow an additional 24,000 Afghans to rampage across the United Kingdom in competition with their Pakistani counterparts gang raping vulnerable white British girls?
The Tories weren't just incompetent for 14 years, they were downright dangerous.
Keep well Mark.

Thank you for all your wit and insight. I think I've heard you start statements with "as I've said 20 years ago", and of course it is spot on. You have a gift of foresight.
Now though, I hear you mention civil war quite often. Is this something we should expect within the next 20 years? As the countries are being torn apart by civil war, I'll hear you say "as I said 20 years ago..."

Dear Mark,
Some years ago, I remember reading about "the coming turbulence" in Germany. (Maybe you wrote it?) The point being made was that the migrants who were paying taxes, and were seeing their money go towards the natives currently in retirement, would eventually realize that none of their ilk were currently retired and enjoying those benefits and would revolt. Does this sound familiar? Any thoughts on the theory?
Thanks,
Mike Regan

Last week, you wrote about the two "Eleventh Hours" of demography and debt.
Also last week, the US reported a surplus in the month of June due to tariff revenue.
As Rubio reported a few months ago, Trudeau said Canada could not sustain its current economic system under the newly equalized tariffs.
If the EU also requires the status quo US trade system, perhaps the current tariff realignment will both erase the US debt and also eliminate the globalist profits needed to fund Western nations 'housing "migrants" in four-star country hotels'.
Is it possible that US tariffs, which are well beyond "mainstream political norms", are actually countering the two eleventh hours?

The Epstein affair is but an iceberg tip of the abuse of power of powerful men over helpless innocents, I'm sure. You can read of it throughout History, when such misdeeds were seldom challenged. The modern entertainment industry, from Music and Hollywood onwards, is famous for it. It's good that Society is losing tolerance for such things, but how to prevent a witch hunt overreaction in the other direction? In some places the innocent office romance is now the object of deep suspicion.

A headline in today's NY Times reads "Amid fear of retaliation, N.S.F. Workers Sign Letter of Dissent." Based on news reports, the "workers" dissent from "politicization" of the dear old, venerable N.S.F. Mark, like you, I find that—in the U.S.—there are so many agencies, boards, committees and clumps of bureaucrats named "National" this and "National" that—I can't tell them apart. But, these fearful "workers" are at the "National Science Foundation."
Now I remember where I last ran across them—paragraph 3 of Doctor Michael E. Mann's 2012 defamation complaint against you in DC "Superior" Court. Dr. Mann's complaint stated that the federal EPA and "National Science Foundation, have conducted investigations into Dr. Mann's work, and found the allegations of academic fraud to be baseless."
I think science, and the world, would be in better shape if every purported "science guy" at the N.S.F. received a pink slip. Dare we hope for such a federal housecleaning?

If anyone listened to Rush Limbaugh from 2017 to 2020, they would've known about everything they needed with this russiagate conspiracy.
We know if we follow the timeline that the first step by the Obama administration was to get rid of Gen. Mike Flynn, then force Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from the investigation.
They appointed Bob Mueller as a special prosecutor and the republicans who had major majorities in both houses of Congress allowed all of this to happen.
We know this was done to force Trump to focus on this stupid investigation so that he would constantly have to defend himself instead of focusing on what the country needed.
I miss Rush because he predicted everything aside from the documents being released.

In your estimation, is it better for the right to attempt to retake the universities, or to simply build their own (i.e., Hillsdale College)?

Obviously, more people tune in to Foxnews, Megan Kelly, Tucker, etc than msnbc. Should we do the same with academia?

I haven't looked up all the television hosts, but they seem (for all of their faux rage) to be all white and all male and all middle-aged. Even the ones who showed up in protest for Colbert's cancellation. No women, no blacks, no hispanics, etc. The women television comedians and hosts have been delegated to the daytime. Isn't it time someone brought this to their attention since they claim to be so progressive? Are they really or is it just another scam so they can protect their boys club?

Yes, I would like to know all there is to know about the Epstein affair, if for no other reason that we've been lied to about it, and we're still being lied to about it; but a decade from now few people will remember Epstein, Maxwell, or what this case was actually about. Much more importantly, I hope that 200 years from now, serious students of history will be studying the internal coup attempt against the 45th President of the United States.

How is it that when it comes to Trump regarding the Epstein files that it is too much for people to believe that Trump delegated the Epstein Files over to Pam Bondi, Pam and the like oversold what they had before they even confirmed it, found themselves having to backtrack, and now find themselves looking like liars or part of a coverup. Instead, we have those who have very little faith, very little loyalty, are are willing to believe that Trump sold us out. I'd like to think that our leaders are allowed to make mistakes and to correct them rather than be called sellouts and traitors. What happened to cause us to think this way?
