Laura,
Welcome back to the hot seat.
Are the arrests of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Peter Mandelson just the first dominoes to fall in the Epstein scandal or will the deep state now move to look after other guilty parties, safe in the knowledge that a couple of token Brits have been, rightly, thrown to the wolves?
Keep well Laura.

Epstein used the word 'goyim' a lot. How widespread is the use of it in the Jewish community, and is it a slur?

I know Mark has continued to speak favourably about Tucker Carlson, but surely it is clear now that Tucker's obsessive anti-Israel agenda and increasingly pro-Islamist stance is splitting the whole conservative movement. Do you think it is Qatari money which is the cause of Tucker's conversion and what do you think it would take for Mark to finally call out Tucker?

I haven't seen a clip of Trump's SOTU address yet, but the reports I've read of it make it sound as combative, ultra partisan and full of conspiracy theory. He'll have a rocky road over the next two years, especially after the expected GOP train wreck at the mid terms. Expect impeachment motions in the Future.
Behind the swirl of election rigging allegations is the strange American neurosis concerning the issue of voter ID. What's with that? Other countries, including my own Canada, practice it all the time and have not sunken into the ocean.

I can't wait to hear Laura speak. I watched President Trump's speech. He was great as usual. He put the Demcoms in their places. I'm sorry to see they couldn't standup much. They only stand up for Marxists, criminal illegals, dictators, Islamists, and mercenaries hired by Leftist NGOs.

Hi Laura,
What's the mood in Canada for the general US citizenry these days? As a signed up cruiser this Fall with Canadian ports of call, I wonder such things. (Will you be joining, by chance?) I'm trying to persuade my sister that wearing her USA Olympic Hockey jersey at the cruise ports of call is not advisable. Would you agree?
Be well!

Canada giving more money to Ukraine and now money to Cuba because of sanctions and whatever excuse for their communist regime shortages. What next, money to China?

Is the moral of the Canadian Men's Curling story "if you cheat, you win"? Did you follow any of the Olympic curling story of the Swedes surveillance operation focused on the Canadian men cheating at curling? If so, what did you think? How was the news covered in Canada? What's the word on the street?
Second question: Do you watch the Olympics? If so, what are your favorites and why?

Laura, I am puzzled about the Left's failure to celebrate the achievement of Net Zero fossil fuel emissions by the Island nation of Cuba. With some help from the US Navy seizing tankers with smuggled oil, global warming is no longer being worsened by fuel consumption in Cuba.
UPenn Ex-Vice Provost has not mentioned this happy development even once on his Bluesky social media rant platform. The NY Times did a story last week about Cuba's lack of emissions, but instead of joy, the Times headline said "Military Action Brings a Nation to Its Knees."
I thought Ex-Vice Provost Michael Mann and the Times were trying to save all of us from imminent extinction!
Is the whole "Net Zero" thing just a scam to destroy Western nations? Please help—I'm like totally confused.

Hi Laura,
Nice to have you back as a fill-in!
I would be interested in what you think about the Powell Doctrine, sometimes referred to the Potter Barn Rule, "You break it, you own it".
I say nonsense, or as Mark would say - bollocks. For decades diplomats (or editorial writers like Peggy Noonan) have been assuming it's a given. Yes, it worked in Germany and Japan, but it doesn't in #$$# hole countries.
What's wrong with destroying their military infrastructure and whatever else gets blown to bits as a result, and then telling them, "Fix it yourself and if you threaten us again, we'll be back!"
I believe If we had taken that approach in Afghanistan and Iraq, we would be better off.

I've been a resident/citizen of either/both the USA & Australia for 76 years – ie my whole life. As a viewer of global news since the late 1950's, I have come to regard Islam as a totalitarian, supremacist, invasive, misogynistic, homo-cidal ideology, which is utterly incompatible, philosophically, with Western liberal democratic societies.
Can you please explain how I'm wrong?

Piggybacking on Toby's question. Is the word shiksa used in a pejorative way? I refer to myself as one often when commenting about Israel and Zionism. Should I stop using the word?

I have always loved visiting in Canada. I've been to Nova Scotia, Alberta, Vancouver, and just recently to Quebec city. It's a little disheartening to see how liberal the politics in Nova Scotia. Do the politics actually reflect the people's views?

Trump awarded the Medal of Honor to Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover.
"Eric Slover who was severely wounded in his legs during the successful raid in Venezuela to capture Nicholas Maduro.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover was repeatedly struck in the leg and hip by hostile fire as he was preparing to land. As his helicopter approached the target area, Venezuelan defense systems opened fire, and Slover was struck four times in the leg. The Chinook was also hit, but still flyable.
So, he kept flying. "One bullet after another. He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg into numerous pieces," President Trump noted. Despite his wounds, Slover brought the aircraft and his team back to safety. Slover maintained control of the aircraft despite his wounds, executed the insertion, and ensured his crew successfully executed their objectives. He then piloted the aircraft back to the USS Iwo Jima. Within three hours, another team of helicopters would exfiltrate the assault team.
Slover is still recovering from his wounds and was standing with the assistance of a walker when he received the award. A total of seven Americans were wounded in the operation."
Kid has balls of steel.
