No doubt that leftists will scream that the Court has backed the “Christian Nationalists” or make some similar complaint, so it’s hilarious that the case that opens the door for parents to keep their kids from being subjected to alphabet ideology in the schools will forever be known as Mahmoud v Taylor. Mahmoud. That is...

Listen, I’m sure it’s true, too, this raging paranoia they all seem to be suffering from. Now, I’m no shrink – I don’t even play one here at HotAir – but my professional cynical opinion, bolstered by years of detailed and exacting Scientific™ observation, have led me to conclude there are two possible explanations for...
On social media there exists a video showing a 10-year-old on the Wembley pitch producing a wonderful piece of skill with a Diego Maradona-esque spin before sending a cross into the area.
