* End of the German Idyll* Germany looked normal over the weekend as a genial Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the Group of Seven leaders and their guests to the luxurious Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps. But those appearances are deceiving. Germany is facing its gravest challenges since the foundation of the Federal Republic following World War II. This is very sudden. As recently as 2020, almost the entire world agreed with the smug German self-assessment that Germany had the world 's most successful economic model, was embarking on the most ambitious'and largely successful'c... read more

* Is there no way to stop the secret brainwashing of Britain's next generation?* By PETER HITCHENS I will always remember the day they took away the history books. My small boarding school, on a rain-lashed Devon hilltop, had until that day taught us about the glory and grandeur of English history. It was a story of courage, freedom and the defeat of foreign threats. But these volumes, their pages soft from use, their illustrations in wistful black and white, were no longer acceptable. They were gathered up and carted off. Instead, we were given glossy, brightly-coloured replace... read more

How Long is a Republican-Nominated Majority on the Supreme Court Likely to Persist?
Ian Ayres and Kart Kandula Republican-nominated Justices have continuously held a majority of seats on the Supreme Court for 53 years.

Remembering the Shah Bano Case
The final nail in the coffin of secularism was driven in May 1986, when the parliament, dominated by Rajiv Gandhi’s government, passed the Muslim Women’s bill. This bill effectively took away from Muslim women the financial security that they had gained from the judgement delivered by the Supreme Court a year earlier in what is known as the “Shah Bano Case." The passage of the Muslim Women’s bill was Rajiv Gandhi’s most definitive act—he will forever be remembered as the prime minister who got the parliament to pass a law which made Islamic law the sole determinant of the fate of d... read more
