Hello again and welcome to this week's fresh batch of Laura's Links.
Thanks again to everyone who joined us for The Mark Steyn Club Live Q&A Around the Planet yesterday, hosted by yours truly. In case you missed it, you can hear the replay here.
There was a great question asked by one of our Club Members about where to vacation in Canada (before it gets more totally and completely bonkers here). I mentioned a few places on air, and that Americans in particular can certainly get more bang for the buck here in the Deranged Dominion because the Canadian dollar is only worth about fifty cents to the greenbuck nowadays. Regardless, the best recommendation would be to join the next Mark Steyn Club Cruise-which will be taking place in October 2026 and visiting some of the most beautiful places on the northeastern North American seaboard.
I mentioned on the show that Canada is a completely unserious, dishevelling country that nobody takes seriously - and rightly so. If you want a sample of why one might think that, here's a little something for your consideration.
Also on the show, I talked briefly about a great link that one of my kids sent me that chronicles the catalogue of nicknames President Trump has given to people over the years, and various Trumpisms. I had forgotten a bunch of them, and we were laughing our Zionist tuchuses off going over them. Sorry that it is from Wikipedia, I normally refrain from sending traffic to people who hate us/me/our side but this list is irresistible and I don't think it's even fully comprehensive. So good. Enjoy.
We didn't get too deep into the Islamic/migrant invasion of the West, but perhaps that is a good thing because that gets very depressing very quickly. But in case you can't live without that kind of content, DON'T WORRY! I've got you covered-there are a good number of links below that discuss our excitable Ishmaelian friends.
And on that theme, and in case you were wondering, the photo for this week's column comes also courtesy of one of my kids, from the ads on one of their social media feeds. The kid came running into the kitchen saying OMG MOMMY MOMMY I HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING. And voila-this was the ad.
Picture my face!!!
I mean - you can picture it obviously BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN MY FACE IN PUBLIC.
But you cannot picture Seham's face because her face is HARAM (although we can still see her eyeballs, and eyelashes, that utter slut).
Anyway, welcome to your/our future unless you FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
I know I've gone a little overboard on the ALL CAPS in this column, but they were on sale today, two for the price of one, and honestly, I'm a bit delirious having taken care of the fam, the injured hubby and all the other regular things.
I hope you have a great weekend, and I will see you in the comments as I'm able.

There are way too many people in government creating policies or ignoring policies that lead to death. This is profoundly evil.

The Great Walkbackening, Reckoning and Accounting:
My gosh this is awful. Good grief. I'm putting it here because it's Covid related but if I had a separate section for "terrible children being terrible to their parent/s" it would be there.
