Welcome to a brand new audio edition of The Mark Steyn Show, recorded live at sea before an audience of Mark Steyn Cruisers from around the world. Today's
episode re-unites Mark with his old boss the Rt Hon the Lord Black of Crossharbour. In this programme, Mark and Conrad, having both been on the receiving end, talk about the viscissitudes of American "justice" - and, on a happier note, the latter recalls what it's like when Donald Trump telephones to say he's pardoned you. To listen to the show, simply click above. There will be more from Lord Black at...

VARMA: Forgotten history, Conrad Black's account of Canada's robust legacy of freedom
|

Western Standard ^
| 02 Dec 2023, 9:30 am | Robin Varma
Conrad Black’s latest book, Forgotten History: Civil Rights in Canada, is an insightful work that dispels many cheap slanders and misconceptions about Canada’s past. Black
combines a deep knowledge of Western history and an eye for relevant historical details to help shine a new light on Canada’s civil rights record. Interest in this book may be heightened by the recent calls to upend historically-won civil rights in Canada in the name of social justice. Or it might also come from the rise in new identity-based subgroups — whose demands for collective rights often infringe upon the rights of the individual....

Conrad Black: Trump Indictment Puts America on Threshold of Losing its Democracy
|

National Post ^
| Apr 04, 2023 | Conrad Black
It is time for America to begin the recovery of its once-admired system of justiceThe indictment of President Trump effectively announces that the United States, as a society of laws, completes the process of corruption of its legal system that began with the bloodless crucifixion of Richard Nixon. And it arrives at
the threshold of completing the deconstruction of its democracy. Fifty-one years after the forced entry at the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate building in Washington, there is still no conclusive evidence that President Nixon committed a crime, though some of his followers did. The articles of impeachment...

Conrad Black: Big Business Joins the Other Crumbling Pillars of Society

American Greatness ^
| April 15, 2021 | Conrad Black
What a pitiful trajectory the woke leaders of large American corporations have traced as American business, once a pillar of American society and political science, has crumbled along with other pillars as if in a choreographed sequence. The
senior levels of national intelligence and the Justice Department were tainted in the nonsense about collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. Academia, apparently down to kindergarten, largely has been transformed into a massive brainwashing operation to convince the country’s youth that the United States is hateful and racist. The national political media have failed catastrophically and all surveys show that...

American Greatness ^
| May 31, 2021 | Conrad Black
It is once again with great regret that I take issue with my friend of more than 40 years, George Will. From my perspective of unambiguous admiration and personal liking for him, I am distressed that on the subject of President Trump, he seems to have taken complete leave of his senses.
Last week, he said on television that the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 should be seared into the minds of Americans as 9/11 was, as the two are equally profound assaults on the country. Let us examine that statement. On September 11, 2001, four airliners...

Conrad Black: The U.K.'s 'Boris Machiavelli' Can Expect a Big Win

| Friday, November 8, 2019 | Conrad Black
The United Kingdom election on Dec. 12 will be of great importance to the Western world. The
departure of the U.K. from the EU will be like the secession of California from the United States, or BC from Canada, a very serious blow. And the return of the UK to close co-operation with the United States and Canada would enable three of the G7 countries to join forces, with a combined GDP of more than twice China’s — substantially greater than the continuing EU and with a better economic growth rate. Such a shift will provide, though leftist commentators (who...

Conrad Black: Why Donald Trump will win big in 2020

Making billions Manhattan real estate, inventing a television concept and pulling in 25 million viewers every week for 14 seasons, devising a concept of levering celebrity, through being a boxing and wrestling impresario, a tabloid star and a reality TV icon, and then changing party affiliations seven times in 13 years and
using social media to end-run the national press, seizing control of one of the great political parties and gaming the electoral system into the White House, he achieved more prior to his inauguration than any of the 43 preceding U.S. presidents except Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Grant, Eisenhower, and...

FDR in 1936, Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Richard Nixon in 1972, Ronald Reagan in 1984, all won by over 20 points. Trump
will gain a victory on that scale next year, and he will have earned it Just as I was pulling my chair up to my desk and preparing to pounce clumsily upon my keyboard and pound out something about the current Canadian election campaign, an email from an old and valued friend popped up enclosing the dumbest column from the Globe and Mail I have seen in 65 years as a frequent reader of that newspaper.

Conrad Black: Trudeau's not a racist, just a hypocrite and a weak leader
|

National Post ^
| September 20, 2019 | Conrad Black
The election campaign to date has been an exercise in idiocy and cowardice. It
is obviously embarrassing for Justin Trudeau to have had to admit to attending an Aladdin-themed party in 2001 made up to look like Aladdin (although Aladdin was an Arab not an African, and blackening his hands was oddly laborious). But Maxime Bernier is right that Justin is not a racist, just a hypocrite. As Tucker Carlson, the Fox News commentator, said on Thursday night, the prime minister’s conduct is “sort of like finding out your super-sensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he’s a feminist, the...

Mark Steyn: Smuggling Conrad Black over the border was always my Plan B

The last time I saw my old boss Conrad Black was a week ago. It
was a very Conradian occasion: We ended up keeping a visiting prince (not from the House of Windsor, as it happens) waiting in the lobby, and by the time we parted on the doorstep the conversation had worked its way round to Doris Day, then still among us. When Miss Day died a few days later, almost all the broadcast tributes played a snippet of: Que Sera SeraWhatever will be will beThe future’s not ours to see… That’s a little fatalistic for my tastes. Nevertheless,...

Trump pardons ex-media mogul Conrad Black

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a full pardon for former media mogul Conrad Black, who was convicted in 2007 of fraud and obstruction of justice and spent 3-1/2 years in prison. Black,
74, a Canadian-born British citizen, once ran an international newspaper empire that included the Chicago Sun-Times, Britain’s Daily Telegraph and the Jerusalem Post. “Lord Black’s case has attracted broad support from many high-profile individuals who have vigorously vouched for his exceptional character,” the White House said in a statement announcing the pardon. It said Black had made “tremendous contributions to business,” had written books on history and...

'The greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War': Conrad Black on how American institutions

The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate. The
broad swath of the Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the burning of an American flag in Tehran. For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two...

Almost indiscernible in the endless tumult about President Donald Trump is the objective return of American might, right on our doorstep. A
casual sampler of the Canadian, and even the American, press, might think that the United States was so far along in its decline that the entire process of government and normal public discourse had broken down in that country, and that the much-discussed process of national decline was accelerating in a climate of virtual chaos. In fact, the economy of the United States is astoundingly strong: full employment, an expanding workforce, negligible inflation and about 3% economic growth....

Despite his liberties with the truth, Trump has amassed the most faithful record of modern U.S. presidents in doing what he promised to do I was just reminded of Canada’s odd view of the United States by returning, for I think the third or fourth time, to Steve Paikin’s The Agenda on
TVOntario, to respond to his questions about my recent book, Donald J. Trump, A President Like No Other (embarrassed descent to crass self-interest: please buy it). It is widely thought, and believed by most Canadians, that we know the United States better than anyone because we are so...

I've been reading Conrad Black's Donald J. Trump--A president like no other. I
strongly recommend it. If you're like me, from time to time you enjoy watching youtube's of the Trump campaign, the debates, the press conferences and of course the rallys. Some of the documentaries are fun too. Conrad Black's book is an enjoyment as he takes you into the Trump's past, present and the future. He likens him to many of our most foremost leaders, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Halsey, Patton, Kennedy, Reagan etc. He shows us, (what many here already know), that Trump's upbringing and ability to succeed...

Conrad Black: America is being mocked by the shallow bias of its free press

| 4/20/2018 | Conrad Black
We are living through an era when the Western democracies are generally reassessing a great deal of assumed conventional liberal wisdom, and have been conducted in this direction by political leadership that is often disparaged in our mainstream media as disreputable rabble-rousing. The
most remarkable aspect of it is no longer that there have been sharp populist turns in the American, British, German, Italian, French, Hungarian, Polish, Czech, Austrian and other electorates (including, nascently, Brazil on the right and Mexico on the left). The larger issue in the United States and the leading western European countries is that the media...

Conrad Black: Racism is dying, yet hateful people are still frequently accusing non-racists of it

| 08 September 2016 | Conrad Black
Almost everyone except those psychologically and politically dependent on accusing others of being racists can agree that racism is evil. I
think almost everyone except those malignant defamers, who denounce all with whom they disagree as racist, can agree that all people are fundamentally equal and must be treated equally; that all definable groups of people are equal in their human merit; and that all such groups, unless they are defined by sociopathic goals, should be proud of whatever it is that defines them as a group. I cannot think of a more stupid and unjust reason for hiring or...

Conrad Black: The free press failed and the Clintons, Bushes and Obamas are finally finished

The media screamed for Trump’s blood when the Clinton campaign released an 11-year-old tape of boorish remarks about women, though what Trump said was the bland and pious reflection of a Baptist minister compared to the normal conversation of Lyndon Johnson, or the actual conduct, while discharging presidential business, of Bill Clinton.
It was magnificent watching the Clinton News Network (CNN) robots on auto cue scurrying around like asphyxiated roaches as it became clear that Trump would do the impossible and win, and that the public saw through the animosity of the lazy, complacent, boot-licking, myth-making claque of the Washington...

In news terms, it has been a quieter summer than usual, and not remotely reminiscent of invincible summers that presaged a global descent into terrible times, such as 1929 or 1939. There
has not even been the sort of flash crisis that brought us all in from the verandas or off the water early to follow president Dwight D. Eisenhower’s brilliant invasion of Lebanon in 1958 or the Soviet Bloc’s brutal suppression of the Czech pursuit of the chimera of “Communism with a human face” in 1968. This summer, we really only had the clangorous American presidential campaign to divert...

Even in the week that he is nominated by the Republican party for the presidency of the United States, intelligent people fail in droves to understand what Donald Trump has accomplished It was disappointing the editorial in this newspaper on Tuesday that “a Trump presidency would be a descent into the uncertainties
of anger, bitterness, and division … a recipe for disaster.” This is a widespread view, but it is bunk. Senator Marco Rubio observed as he left the race, having been bombed by almost a million votes in his home state by Trump (who, remember, had no “ground game”),...
