Yes, it's me! Mark Steyn of that ilk - back 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.
Our last show aired during what - although we did not yet know it - proved to be the last hour of Charlie Kirk's short life. In just a week, the deranged consensus of the American "mainstream" media has bounced from one implausible theory of the case to the next. It's barely twenty-four hours since ABC TV's late-night comedy colossus Jimmy Kimmel was excoriating the right for refusing to recognise that Charlie Kirk's killer was "anything other than one of them":
Evidently Kimmel didn't get the memo - or, if he did get the memo, the talentless plonker and his forty-seven-man writers' room requires far more notice to craft their leaden lines and load them into the 'prompter for Jimmy to practice the night before. ABC TV has turned on a dime, and Charlie Kirk's killer is now the Regency bodice-ripper of our day. Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be? With the heartwarming assassin's tender texts to his bepenised woman. From ABC's Chief National Correspondent Matt Gutman:
Mr Gutman then warmed to his theme:
On tonight's show, Kimmel and Gutman will duet on "Learning to Love Your Latest Insane Theory of the Case is the Greatest Love of All".
In related news, the old coot who distracted police in order to let the tranny-besotted Romeo scram the scene turns out to be both a paedo and a friend of a senior advisor to Utah's trannyphiliac governor.
While Utah trannifies, Michigan Islamises:
Elsewhere, Trump lands in London, and Zoe Gardner says the death squads will follow:
I'm a little down at the moment, so every time I need to cheer myself up I click on Miss Gardner's video and roll around splitting my sides for another two minutes.
Happy to take your questions on any of the above or whatever else is 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 European Union hate-speech regulations, Clubland Q&A will be distributed exclusively by fax machine. So install yours today!
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 Carmel to Cwmbran, Moffat Beach to Wasaga Beach, Naples to Nottinghamshire. 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 8pm in London and Dublin, 9pm in Paris and Berlin, 10pm in Kiev and Jerusalem; half-past-ten in Teheran; midnight-forty-five in Kathmandu; 3am in Singapore and Honkers (sorry about that); 5am in Sydney and Melbourne; 7am in Auckland, and a far 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...
