We will be aboard Celebrity Cruises, Celebrity Apex - a new, modern ship - offering our guests world class amenities in addition to our special itinerary of cocktail parties and shows with Mark and his special guests. Come sail with us!

The last week was a difficult one for Mark as he recovered from his recent trip to London only to contend with the loss of a much-loved family pet - a formerly stray cat who served as the inspiration for "Feline Groovy: Songs for Swinging Cats".

As club member Lev Shmukler noted, "(Senator) Ted Cruz of Texas mentioned Marvin at the 'global warming' hearings, when Republicans were in majority."

Indeed, Marvin's influence was wide. He even got a mention from Mark's barrister in the aforementioned hearing of Mark's suit against the UK's chief censor Ofcom in The Royal Courts of Justice...

While we await the judge's verdict, we continue to raise funds to help cover the expenses of that trip including airfare and accommodation as well as legal fees. We are ever so grateful for those who have been inclined and able to support this important fight for free speech - which even if Mark wins - will not result in any personal benefit to Mark. The only hope is that a victory in the King's Bench of the High Court will stall and reverse the sick and remorseless power grab of the WEF puppets at Ofcom.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ Steyn's Song of the Week came by way of a request from a Steyn clubber: The Party's Over by Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

This week many made the unfortunate connection between the similarities in the treatment of Mark and Trump in the cesspools of so-called justice in the DC and New York courts.

Mann vs Steyn witness Steve McIntyre wrote:

Mark Steyn is brilliant as usual. His experience in DC was identical on key points to the Trump fiasco in New York. Including the judge disallowing relevant testimony favorable to the defense. But at the end of the day, both cases were decided by nothing more than the venue. Neither Steyn nor Trump received a fair hearing from a jury representing a balanced political spectrum. They were both lynched by partisan juries.

And, reader Russell Working tweeted:

With all the support flooding in for Donald Trump, remember the original Braveheart, Mark Steyn, in his dark hour. Buy the hockey stick, buy his books, and (what we're finally doing) subscribe to his club.

Welcome to the club Russell and the many others who joined for the first time this week. Thank you also to our founding members who have renewed as we enter our eighth year. Your ongoing support helps keep Mark fighting.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was featured in Steyn's Song of the Week on Sunday.

~ A special edition of The Mark Steyn Show - marking Memorial Day in America - was re-aired on Monday.

~ On Tuesday, Mark explained why the upcoming general election in the UK is "an irrelevant election".

~ Mark returned to the microphone on Wednesday for our weekly Clubland Q&A, fielding questions from Mark Steyn Club members regarding the jury deliberations in the Trump show trial in New York. He also found time for a song for Royal Oak Day.

~ On Thursday, Laura Rosen Cohen shared her carefully curated links from around the world.

~ In our most read piece of the week on Friday, Mark examined the unjust verdict in the Trump trial and what it means for the future.

~ On Saturday, Mark's new show "On The Town" was broadcast on Serenade Radio - with replay available for club members here.

~ Later, Rick McGinnis returned with his review of Japanese film "Sword of Doom".

The week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 12:30pm North American Eastern Time/ 5:30pm UK.

Also, we will have a review of our friends Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer new off-Broadway play, October 7: In Their Own Words, later today.

President Reagan forty-one years ago today:

Memorial Day is a time to take stock of the present, reflect on the past, and renew our commitment to the future of America.

Today, as in the past, there are problems that must be solved and challenges that must be met. We can tackle them with our full strength and creativity only because we are free to work them out in our own way. We owe this freedom of choice and action to those men and women in uniform who have served this nation and its interests in time of need. In particular, we are forever indebted to those who have given their lives that we might be free.

I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.

This Memorial Day of 1983, we honor those brave Americans who died in the service of their country. I think an ancient scholar put it well when he wrote: "Let us now praise famous men . . . All these were honored in their generation, and were the glory of their times. Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore." As a tribute to their sacrifice, let us renew our resolve to remain strong enough to deter aggression, wise enough to preserve and protect our freedom, and thoughtful enough to promote lasting peace throughout the world.

Though it was not Mark's chosen book title - America Alone - (as discussed with former Reagan speechwriter Peter Robinson in Friday's Topical Take) has perfectly captured the situation we find ourselves in now. The consequences of demographic hard truths are evident in daily headlines across the world. As we reflect on this Memorial Day Weekend, it is worth contemplating: if America is indeed alone - will it honor its fallen, rally and reverse course in time?

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ In Steyn's Song of the Week on Sunday Mark celebrated a cowboy classic: "Riders in the Sky" by Stan Jones.

~ On Happy Whit Monday, Mark took on "hair racism" in the British courts.

~ Mark explored hard landings, days of shame, and American "assurances" in Tuesday's Notebook.

~ On Wednesday's Clubland Q&A Mark fielded questions on many topics, starting with Rishi Sunak's hilariously sodden announcement of a general election and moving on to Klaus Schwab's successor at the WEF, Democrats' plans for Trump, Covid vaccine developments - and music for the chocolate soldiers of GB News.

~ Laura Rosen Cohen returned on Thursday with her famous links from around the world.

~ On Friday we took a look back at a most prescient interview - that of Mark by the Hoover Institution's Peter Robinson on the premise of his bestselling book America Alone.

~ On The Town returned to Serenade Radio on Saturday - available to club members for replay here.

~ Later Rick McGinnis returned with a review of Darryl F Zanuck's production of "In Old Chicago".

This week also saw the filing of no fewer than four legal filings - one in the High Court in London (Steyn vs Ofcom) and three in the not so high court in Washington, DC (Mann vs Steyn). Thank you to all our club members who have helped support these extraordinary legal costs through their membership, gift memberships and gift certificates.

Later we will return with our traditional Memorial Day observances. Also, Steyn's Song of the Week on Serenade Radio at 12:30pm Eastern Time/ 5:30pm UK.

The seventh birthday celebrations continue at The Mark Steyn Club...

All twenty-nine episodes of Mark's narration of Agatha Christie's The Secret Adversary are now available for streaming.

And, Mark's new show at Serenade Radio is proving very popular.

Coming up in the weeks ahead:

Mark has been granted judicial review against UK state censor Ofcom, for its attempts to suppress the truth regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. The King's Bench Division of the English High Court will hear Mark's case on June 11, 2024.

And, in The Superior Court of The District of Columbia, Mark's attorney will respond to Michael Mann's objection to a new trial. Followers of the case may recall that the jury returned with their unconstitutional one million dollar punitive award - after Michael Mann's lawyer urged the jury to do so in order to "serve as an example" to prevent "these attacks on Climate Scientists..." improperly invoking President Trump and January 6th.

These fights for free speech are not being funded by wealthy sugar daddies but rather, by you, our loyal readers. Thank you. Your renewed subscription helps keep us in this fight.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~ On Sunday - also known as Mother's Day in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and various other places - Mark paid homage to mother songs in Steyn's Song of the Week.
