Yes, I know it's Wednesday, but it's me! Mark Steyn of that ilk - and not dead yet, despite the best efforts of both the University of Vermont Medical Center and the District of Columbia Superior Court.

This should have been the third day of my trial in the aforementioned septic tank of justice. But, as you know, on the eve of jury selection, the "fourth trial judge" decided to postpone the trial on a pretext I have no reason to accept without evidence. And so, after an entirely wasted trip to America's grisly national capital, I'm now back in the North Country twiddling my thumbs. And, what with a bazillion questions from you about what's going on, I thought we might as well hold a rare midweek edition of our Clubland Q&A.

The fun starts at 4pm North American Eastern time, which is 8pm Greenwich Mean Time - because in Europe they've fallen back to winter while the Americas have not yet been sprung from summer. We'll try to pin down the rest of the time zones below, but do, as they say, check local listings.

It's a terrible thing to be all psychologically and physically prepped for a long trial, as well as the additional stresses of having to spend a month in a wholly alien town you loathe - and then to have the tosspot judge yank it out from under you at the last moment. As Powerline's John Hinderaker put it, the Court's handling of this case "has been a disgrace and an embarrassment".

In such circumstances, I thank all of you who have snapped up our brand new limited-edition, individually numbered (and signed) SteynOnline Liberty Sticks. The Liberty Stick features both Magna Carta and the US Constitution - so you can now wave that constitution at whomsoe'er you like. And, amazingly enough, our Liberty Stick is not manufactured round the back of the Wuhan Institute of Virology like everything else, but smack dab in the USA - in fact, in Mr Hinderaker's Minnesota. You can order one here.

On today's midweek Q&A, I'm happy to take questions on the dirty stinkin' rotten corrupt US "justice" system in all its revolting manifestations, whether we're talking about my case or Trump's gag order or Jenna Ellis's plea deal or whatever. But, as always, we'll broaden it out as the show goes on to whatever else is on your mind.

~I thank viewers for their kind words about SteynOnline's exclusive screen premiere of my video deposition in the matter of Mann vs Steyn. You can see Part One here, Part Two here, and the thrilling finale here.

~Anybody can be mired in lawsuits on one side of the Atlantic. But, at my level of the game, a chap expects to be mired on at least two sides. So I'm also happy today to take any questions on my pushback against the UK state censor Ofcom in the English High Court over their "rulings" against me for my coverage of the Covid vaccines. The latter case is officially called:

The King on the application of Mark Steyn
vs
The Office of Communications

Alas, His Majesty is leaving it to me and my KC to do most of the heavy lifting. You can read our second Statement of Claim here.

Many viewers, listeners and readers have asked how they can support this important free-speech case. There are several ways, including:

a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;

b) buying a near-and-dear one a SteynOnline gift certificate;

c) ordering a copy of my latest book, The Prisoner of Windsor (you won't regret it); or

d) snapping up one of the above-mentioned limited-edition SteynOnline Liberty Sticks.

~Whether or not you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, you can listen to our Clubland Q&A live as it happens wherever you chance to be on this turbulent earth: Club membership is required only to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, so 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.

As soon as we go live, members should log-in and submit their queries via our comment form below - and I'll answer them as-it-happens on the audio livestream that should magically appear above (or possibly below - I forget which). And, if you disagree with my response, then let rip in the comments, and I'll endeavour to address a couple of the objections as we go along.

Clubland Q&A is a special production for The Mark Steyn Club. We're not paywalling off SteynOnline or any of that nonsense - and in fact this site now offers more free content than ever before in our twenty-year history. But Club membership does confer a few benefits, starting with participation in our weekly Q&As.

So see you back here live this afternoon at 4pm North American Eastern Time. That's 5pm in the Canadian Maritimes, half-past-five in Newfoundland - and, beyond the Americas, 8pm in London and Dublin; 9pm in Paris and Berlin; 10pm in Kiev and Tel Aviv, because that's the zone where they hold all the wars; 11pm in Aden and Sanaa, where one or other of the competing Yemeni regimes has just declared war on Israel; 11.30pm in Teheran, for all you Newfoundlanders who move to Iran for the half-hour time zone; 1.45am in Kathmandu, for all you Iranians who move to Nepal to check out the quarter-hour time zone; 4am in Singapore, Honkers and Perth (sorry about that); 7am in Sydney and Melbourne; 9am in Auckland and even deeper into Thursday in His Majesty's Dominions across the Pacific.

But, whatever hour it is where you are, we do hope you'll be able to join us. To listen to the livestream, simply click the "play" icon on the audio player (in certain browsers, the audio will start auto-playing). And to pose a question simply use the comment form below.
