Dear Mark,
Browsing through the twitter comments on Rupert Lowe's announcement of the Restore Britain party I gather not that "there is no turbulence left in England," but that the turbulence runs against saving Britain from a more turbulent future.
Is it the same suicidal empathy we see in Minneapolis? Do Pakistani rape gangs add just a bit of diversity to the much larger number of white rape gangs as posited by Emily Maitlis? Or has Rupert Lowe finally hit the right timing to start turning the ship around?
No good can come from the collapse of Western Civilization. Do you see any hope for Britain?
All the best for a speedy recovery!

Hi Mark. I see the demise of GB News continues apace. Yesterday they thought it was a good idea to invite Dr. Hillary Jones on. Yes. That Hillary Jones. He of the COVID vaccine promotion and purveyor of overstated statistics, not to mention recommending wearing a mask while swimming. The two presenters I still like, Bev Turner and Ben Leo both tweeted their incredulity at the decision. Maybe they'll be gone soon? With Rupert Lowe taking over the news cycle they'll probably rebrand to "Farage TV" to justify their lack of coverage. Seems like both Reform and GB News have moved back to the centre. Interested in your comments.

In Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, and the rest, theater production, the music scene—classical and contemporary—and cultural production in the arts more broadly is nonexistent.
How do leftist sexually ambiguous theater kids like Trudeau, Macron, and Starmer square the glaring contradiction of mass importing "newcomers" who will inevitably lead to a future where there "will be no entertainment - no plays, no music, no nuthin'"?
It seems so obviously self defeating for the creative class.

Dear Mark- as always, I hope you are in good health.
I am writing today to get your thoughts on a matter of some urgency- namely the Muslim War on Dogs that began in NY City and is now spreading worldwide.
The other day, a NY pro Hamas, Islamic activist named Nerdeen Kiswani had the gall to imply that dogs were "unclean" and should be banned as pets in Manhattan. She posted on X that "Finally, NYC us coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets."
As you can imagine, the response from the canine crowd was overwhelmingly to condemn in no uncertain terms, the sentiments expressed by Ms. Kiswani.
Meanwhile, I am proud to say that Florida Congressman Randy Fine, himself a Jew and a dog lover of the highest degree, came out, no holds barred, against the Islamist cynophobe and made the following statement:
"The choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.". Judging by the response on social media, millions of people agree with Congressman Fine, that it is not at all difficult- we all prefer our dogs without question!
Of course there is now a firestorm of condemnation coming from the Demo-Commie-Left who are branding Mr. Fine as a Zionist Islamophobe Dog Lover.
Hakeem Jeffries: House Minority Leader (D-NY) condemned Fine as a "disgrace," "Islamophobic," and a "disgusting and unrepentant bigot". The usual suspects including AOC and CAIR have all jumped on the anti-dog/pro Islamic bandwagon to the surprise of no one.
As if that wasn't bad enough, we now are finding out that they are planning to slaughter some 3 million dogs in Morocco ahead of the 2030 World Cub. What is with these people and their hatred of man's best friend?
Personally, I think this is probably the biggest mistake the Islamo-Fascists have made to date as most dog lovers would do anything for their canine friends.
I would love to know your thoughts on all this and any ideas you might have to stop the slaughter..
Thanks for all you do!
The response from dog lovers

Dear Mark,
I am on my first cruise and now I cannot wait for your cruise in October! Our ship is full of Canadians and Brits. Last night we met a lovely British man who thought it safer to ask us if we were from North America than to ask us if we were American, just in case we were Canadian in which case we may have "gutted him". I am sensitive to the idea that when Americans walk around the world some people may feel resentful of us the way girls feel about the prettiest girl at a party. But the nastiness from the Canadians is insane and I can imagine them behaving like those in Bochum.
I saw a very fat man who reminded me of John Castimatedes which reminded me of how he abandoned his decades-old friend and employee Curtis Sliwa in the NYC mayoral race and has since hired Cuomo to host a show on his radio station.
My question is why do you think the majority of so-called Republicans threw their support behind Cuomo in that race? We all knew Cuomo was going to lose. Are there any real Republicans out there or is anyone with power just looking to suck up to the purple establishment?

Good day, Mark. Thank you for soldiering on through the seemingly endless darkness around us. I have a music-related question that might at least be a pleasant distraction. When a song or album is released as "Remastered," what does that mean?
To my ears, at least, I hear no difference. Does it have to do with copyrights and who gets the royalties, i.e., the artists have found a way to bypass the record labels to receive their due rewards? Thanks for your insights and many blessings be upon you.

Hi Mark,
This is more of a literary question than a political one: There's a quote in Michel Houellebecq's Soumission that I've heard you and Douglas Murray reference on more than one occasion. The quote is "There's no Israel for me." It's an interesting thought, and a deep one. I assume you would agree, being that you've referenced it. However, the very next line in the novel is, "A stupid thought, but an exact one." Why do you think Houellebecq wrote that it was stupid?

What did you think of Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference? I have to say I was pleasantly surprised as I have always thought Rubio a bit of a squish on the Demography Question (the only one that matters).
I especially liked that he attacked the Chamber-of-Commerce wing of the GOP as much or more than the EU itself. He said: "In this delusion, we embraced a dogmatic vision of free and unfettered trade . . . resulting in large parts of our societies being deindustrialized, shipping millions of working and middle-class jobs overseas, and handing control of our critical supply chains to both adversaries and rivals."
Good stuff. Has he pulled even with Vance as our best hope in 2028?

Dear Mark
Do hope you're stable, because the Western world seems to be anything but.
From more psycho-tranny shootings, to the Democratic zombies like Hillary and Barry rising up to assure us their Party isn't woke any more (while attacking anyone who questions transgenderism as gender-haters), American ... err ... United States politics (thanks Bad Bunny for that important lesson) remain a contest of narrative versus reality.
And then we've got Little Marco's one-two punch of our European allies, diplomatically spurring the West to grow a pair like his new BFF, Hungary's Orban.
It really feels like the West is at an inflection point. Will the narrative builders reclaim their supremacy over the hearts and stunted minds of the couch-sitters, or will the common man see through the lies thanks to filterless sources of information like Elon's X, podcasts and other outlets (like SteynOnline)?

Hi Mark,
It's good to see your stabilization continues to allow for our weekly hour and a quarter. It is also good to see that the left has finally accepted that there is a violent far left. Of course, that is as far as they will take it. You will never hear the term fascist applied to anyone on the left no matter how many actors get bludgeoned or innocents get shot by trannies. That is strictly reserved for anyone who is to the right of old Uncle Joe Stalin.

Modern Western civilization in a nutshell:
1) Dehumanize the fascists (read: the 'far right' or the 'hard right' or the 'extreme right')
2) Dumb down the anti-fascists (who couldn't define 'fascist' unless you give them a dictionary) while elevating them to sainthood for their opposition to fascism
3) Be shocked - shocked I say! - when anti-fascists assault an actor portraying a fascist
Just yesterday Mark reprised his observation that an extreme muslim wants to kill you while the moderate muslim wants the extreme muslim to kill you.
It won't be long before we can say that the extreme anti-fascist wants to kill you while the mainstream anti-fascist wants to kill you.

If all women wore the covering no one would know who was unworthy of their husband. Maybe the covering was a way to hide the results of said beatings so as not to experience more shame from anyone who noticed.
