Yes, it's me! Mark Steyn of that ilk - back off my deathbed for another hour of questions from Mark Steyn Club members around the planet. We start at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm in the British Isles and 9pm in western and central Europe.
For you two-points-up-in-Iowa types, expert analysts are now saying Republicans "dodged a bullet" yesterday in ...er, Tennessee, apparently the Vermont of the southland. Whether they can dodge all the incoming bullets due in eleven months is a more fraught question.
Elsewhere, in news of the entirely predictable:
IN A leaked memo to staff, the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) top vaccine regulator said the agency will make changes to how it approves all vaccines, after an internal analysis revealed that 'at least' 10 children died from the covid vaccine.
Dr Vinay Prasad, who heads the FDA Centre for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), said of 96 deaths among children aged seven to 16 concluded that 'no fewer than 10' were related to the shot.
Golly, even CBS News is kinda sorta covering the story. Of course, for those of us who were covering it nearly four years ago, there remains no greater sin in media than being right too soon. Ah, but keep "following the science" even if it kills your third-grader.
Is Britain included on Trump's ban on failed third-world bleepholes? In America, commentators are beginning to notice that, under Sir Keir, a woman beaten up by a man gets arrested, gaoled and convicted for referring in a private text message to her assailant as a "faggot".
To avoid my own incarceration upon arrival at Heathrow, I should clarify that, if this website persistently refers to Sir Keir Starmer as Sir Keir Faggot, we have been having some minor problems with our autocorrect since we did the Ofcom-mandated age-verification for TikTok.
Happy to hear about whatever's on your mind. For the moment you can listen to our show live from almost anywhere you chance to be on this turbulent earth. Starting next week, in compliance with Cruella von der Leyen and the European Commission, Clubland Q&A will be distributed exclusively by fax machine. So install yours today while supplies last.
Membership of The Mark Steyn Club is required only if you wish to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, and especially appreciate those who are having such a grand time around these parts that they've signed up a chum for a Steyn Club Gift Membership. Among the additions to our ranks in recent days are newbies from around the planet - from Idaho to Inverclyde, Bradenton Beach to Brescia, Montreal to Mahomet. If you've joined this week either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter, do shoot me a head-scratcher for today's show.
But, if you're not interested in joining, no worries, as they say in Oz: We seek no unwilling members - and as always the show is free to listen to, so we hope you'll want to tune in. So see you back here at 3pm North American Eastern - which is, once again, 8pm in London and Dublin, 9pm in Paris and Berlin, 10pm in Kiev and Jerusalem; 11pm in Moscow and Riyadh; half-past-eleven in Teheran; 1.45am in Kathmandu; 4am in Singapore and Honkers (sorry about that); 7am in Sydney and Melbourne; 9am in Auckland, and an even more civilised hour for the kippers and kedgeree in His Majesty's Dominions eastward across the Pacific, where you're so far ahead Michael E Mann's probably lost his appeal by now...
