    The concept of the social contract has long been a cornerstone of political philosophy, dating back to thinkers like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Traditionally, the social contract has been understood as an implicit agreement between individuals and their government, in which individuals give up certain freedoms in exchange for protection and security.

    However, in today’s rapidly changing world, the nature of contractual relations has evolved significantly. The rise of social media, globalization, and increased interconnectedness has blurred traditional boundaries and created new forms of social contracts that extend beyond the relationship between individuals and their government.

    In this inquiry, we seek to explore the concept of the new social contract – one that encompasses not only the relationship between individuals and their government, but also between individuals and the companies they interact with, the communities they belong to, and the environment they inhabit.

    What are the rights and responsibilities of individuals in these new contractual relationships? How do power dynamics and inequalities shape these relationships? And how can we ensure that these new social contracts are fair, just, and sustainable?

    Join us as we delve into these questions and more in our exploration of The New Social Contract.

  • Comer requests Trump DOJ prosecute James Biden for making ‘false statements’ during impeachment inquiry


    EXCLUSIVE: House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is requesting President-elect Trump’s Justice Department investigate and prosecute President Biden’s brother, James Biden, for allegedly making false statements to Congress, Fox News Digital has learned. 

    Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter that Comer, R-Ky., sent to Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, encouraging the DOJ to “hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the soon-to-be-former President Biden.” 

    House Republicans in June sent criminal referrals for James Biden and Hunter Biden to the Justice Department recommending they be charged with making false statements to Congress about “key aspects” of the impeachment inquiry of President Biden.

    HOUSE REPUBLICANS REFER HUNTER BIDEN, JAMES BIDEN FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION AMID IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

    Specifically, Comer at the time said the alleged false statements implicated President Biden’s “knowledge and role in his family’s influence-peddling schemes” and that they appeared “to be a calculated effort to shield Joe Biden from the impeachment inquiry.” 

    Comer, along with House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., led the impeachment inquiry into President Biden and found that he engaged in “impeachable conduct,” “abused his office” and “defrauded the United States to enrich his family.” 

    FLASHBACK: HUNTER BIDEN BUSINESS ASSOCIATE’S TEXT MESSAGES INDICATE MEETING WITH JOE BIDEN

    Comer, in his letter to Bondi this week, pointed to Biden’s “full and unconditional pardon” for his son, Hunter Biden. 

    “President Biden’s latest scheme to cover his family’s grift cements his legacy as leading the most corrupt political family to attain the presidency in American history,” Comer wrote to Bondi. “But it also appears incomplete. President Biden has displayed to the American people that his son is beyond accountability in a court of law for his crimes.” 

    FLASHBACK: HUNTER BIDEN IN 2017 SENT ‘BEST WISHES’ FROM ‘ENTIRE BIDEN FAMILY’ TO CHINA FIRM CHAIRMAN, REQUESTED $10M WIRE

    But Comer said he wanted to “remind incoming Department of Justice leadership of Hunter Biden’s main accomplice in his influence peddling schemes (aside from Joe Biden himself), whom the House Committees on Oversight, the Judiciary, and Ways and Means previously identified to Attorney General Merrick Garland as having misled Congress regarding Joe Biden’s participation in his family’s influence peddling and deserving of prosecution under federal law: James Biden, the President’s younger brother.”

    Comer reminded Bondi that he and House Republicans referred James Biden to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, saying the president’s brother “made materially false statements to the Oversight and Judiciary Committees.” 

    BIDEN COMMITTED ‘IMPEACHABLE CONDUCT,’ ‘DEFRAUDED UNITED STATES TO ENRICH HIS FAMILY’: HOUSE GOP REPORT

    “The nature of both his and Hunter Biden’s false statements is not lost on the Committees: every instance implicates Joe Biden’s knowledge of and role in his family’s influence peddling,” Comer wrote. “James Biden’s denial of Joe Biden’s meeting with James Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hunter Biden’s business associate for a Chinese transaction, Tony Bobulinski — despite evidence being placed in front of him and being given multiple opportunities to amend his response — appears to be a clumsy attempt to protect Joe Biden from the reality that Joe Biden has indeed met with his family’s business associates.”

    JOE BIDEN RECEIVED $40K IN ‘LAUNDERED CHINA MONEY’ FROM BROTHER IN 2017, COMER SAYS

    Comer and House Republicans in June said James Biden “stated unequivocally during his transcribed interview that Joe Biden did not meet with Mr. Tony Bobulinski, a business associate of James and Hunter Biden, in 2017 while pursuing a deal with a Chinese entity, CEFC China Energy.”

    “Specifically, James Biden stated he did not attend a meeting with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Tony Bobulinski on May 2, 2017 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,” Comer, Jordan and Smith said in their criminal referral to Attorney General Merrick Garland last year. “These statements were contradicted not only by Mr. Bobulinski, but Hunter Biden.”

    They also noted that Bobulinski “produced text messages that establish the events leading up to and immediately following his meeting with Joe Biden on May 2, 2017.” 

    In his letter to Bondi, Comer blasted President Biden, claiming he obstructed the committee’s impeachment inquiry and that in itself was “impeachable conduct.” 

    SPECIAL COUNSEL WEISS BLASTS BIDEN IN FINAL HUNTER PROSECUTION REPORT

    “The legacy President Biden leaves behind is having led the most dishonest and corrupt administration in American history,” Comer wrote. 

    Biden, last month, made the decision to grant his son a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” covering nearly 11 years of conduct, including conduct related to both convictions Special Counsel David Weiss obtained.

    Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony firearm offenses stemming from Weiss’ investigation. The first son was also charged with federal tax crimes regarding the failure to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes. Before his trial, Hunter Biden entered a surprise guilty plea. 

    Weiss released his highly anticipated report on his yearslong investigation into Hunter Biden last week and blasted Biden for having “unfairly” maligned Justice Department public servants and casting doubt on the U.S. justice system with “wrong” claims that his probe was political. 

    “President Biden repeatedly told—or used White House personnel to tell—the American people he would not pardon his son. That was a lie,” Comer wrote to Bondi. “President Biden continues to lie, now falsely claiming ‘[n]o reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong.’”

    Comer added, “Though President Biden’s saccharine (and wholly ironic) rantings of political persecution and weaponized prosecution of Hunter Biden are specious, they are inapplicable to the non-prosecution of his brother, James Biden, who has lied to the United States Congress and has faced no accountability to date.” 

    “I write to encourage the Department under your leadership to hold James Biden accountable for lying to Congress to protect his brother, the soon-to-be-former President Biden,” Comer continued. “No one should be above the law, regardless of his last name.” 

    Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.



    In a recent development, Senator Tom Comer has formally requested the Trump Department of Justice to prosecute James Biden for allegedly making false statements during the impeachment inquiry. Comer asserts that Biden’s testimony was misleading and may have obstructed justice.

    The senator has stated that it is vital for the DOJ to hold individuals accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to providing false information under oath. He emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that all individuals are held to the same standard.

    This request comes amidst growing scrutiny over the impeachment inquiry and the testimonies provided by key individuals. Comer’s call for prosecution signals a heightened focus on the integrity of the proceedings and the need for transparency.

    As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the DOJ will take action against James Biden. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

  • Lisa Nandy denies Musk prompted grooming gangs inquiry


    Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has “utterly rejected” the idea a new series of grooming gangs inquiries have been set up because of pressure from Elon Musk.

    In recent weeks, multi-billionaire Musk has repeatedly used his social media platform X to attack the government and call for a fresh national statutory inquiry into child sexual exploitation.

    The government resisted the calls, but on Thursday announced a nationwide review of grooming gang evidence and five government-backed local inquiries.

    Data protection minister Sir Chris Bryant told the BBC it was “certainly true” that Musk had sparked more debate.

    But Nandy told BBC Breakfast the government had not been pushed into it by social media.

    Asked on the BBC’s Question Time programme whether Musk’s interventions had sped up ministers’ response, Bryant said: “Undoubtedly all of this has been expedited because of the debate that we’ve had over the last fortnight, I’m quite happy to say that”.

    But Nandy insisted: “We are not a government that governs by social media, we govern for the real world,” she said.

    She pointed to measures in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill as actions the government had already committed to before this year.

    “Those measures take time to work up and to implement,” Nandy said.

    “They were things that we announced well before there was all this noise on social media. There is far too much heat on social media, not enough light.

    “Where the light has been cast in this is through those brave young women speaking up through successive inquiries over many, many years.”

    Later, on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Nandy said Labour had “made tackling violence against women and girls a top priority for this government”.

    “We committed to that in opposition, it was in our manifesto and the home secretary is making good on that promise.”

    Speaking during a visit to Poland, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer denied he had been pushed into a change in policy, saying he had been personally involved in working with victims for “well over a decade”.

    “The absolute imperative is action, action on behalf of victims, and that’s always been the approach that has driven the decisions that I take,” he added.

    Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced a new £10m fund, split into two parts, to tackle grooming gangs and child sexual abuse

    First, a “rapid” three-month national audit led by veteran troubleshooter Baroness Louise Casey will examine gang demographics, their victims, and the “cultural drivers” of the crimes.

    Secondly, Tom Crowther, known for leading an inquiry into Telford grooming gangs, will help Oldham and four other pilot areas yet to be named develop their own reviews.

    Cooper stopped short of launching a statutory national inquiry, as called for by the Conservatives, Reform UK and some Labour MPs, but the announcement marked a clear shift in the government’s position.

    Responding to the announcement, Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the plan was “wholly inadequate” and repeated his call for a full national inquiry.

    He expressed concern that the local inquiries would not have powers to compel witnesses to attend and give evidence under oath.

    Musk’s comments had created a political headache for Labour.

    As well as being one of the richest men in the world, Musk is also a key adviser for US President-elect Donald Trump.

    For weeks, Musk has promoted the campaigns of MPs opposing Labour in the Conservative Party and Reform UK.

    Musk responded to Cooper’s announcement by saying on his X platform: “I hope this is a proper investigation.”

    “This is a step in the right direction, but the results will speak for themselves,” he later added.

    Musk has previously clashed with the Labour government, insulting safeguarding minister Jess Phillips on social media, after she declined a request from Oldham Council for a Whitehall-led inquiry into child sexual abuse in the town.

    He said Phillips “deserves to be in prison” and called her a “rape genocide apologist”.

    Philips told the BBC “disinformation” spread by Musk was “endangering” her life.

    Musk has also accused Sir Keir of failing to properly prosecute “rape gangs” while he was director of public prosecutions from 2008 to 2013, before he entered Parliament.



    In a recent interview, Lisa Nandy, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, has denied claims that Elon Musk prompted the inquiry into grooming gangs in the UK. Nandy clarified that the decision to launch the inquiry was based on a thorough review of evidence and concerns raised by communities affected by grooming gangs.

    Nandy emphasized that the inquiry is aimed at understanding the root causes of grooming gangs and finding ways to prevent such crimes in the future. She also stressed the importance of listening to the voices of survivors and working towards justice for those who have been affected.

    The claims linking Musk to the grooming gangs inquiry have been circulating on social media, but Nandy has made it clear that they are unfounded. She urged the public to focus on the real issues at hand and support efforts to tackle grooming gangs and protect vulnerable individuals in society.

  • British general called Saville Inquiry ‘cynical move’

    British general called Saville Inquiry ‘cynical move’


    By David McCullagh and Fiachra Ó Cionnaith

    The top British soldier in Northern Ireland was so enraged by the establishment of a new inquiry into Bloody Sunday that he launched an extraordinary attack on his own government, accusing it of a “cynical political move”.

    The incendiary remarks by General Rupert Smith were made at a dinner with Irish officials based in Belfast, according to newly released State Papers.

    Derry’s Bloody Sunday in January 1972 saw British paratroopers shoot 26 unarmed civilians during a civil rights march.

    Thirteen of them died on the day, while another died some months later.

    A judicial tribunal shortly after the shootings under the English Lord Chief Justice, Lord Widgery, blamed the organisers of the march for the trouble, largely clearing the soldiers of wrongdoing.

    Loyalist leaders were well-regarded by Dublin, Washington
    Govt in 1992 argued over Israeli weapons purchase
    Reynolds warned Yeltsin ‘might be worse for wear’
    Five more things we learned from the State Papers

    Relatives of the victims campaigned for a new inquiry for over a quarter of a century, and in January 1998, then British prime minister Tony Blair announced a new tribunal to be chaired by Lord Saville.

    His decision did not go down well with the British military and particularly not with the commander of British troops in Northern Ireland, General Rupert Smith.

    Smith was himself a former officer in the Parachute Regiment who had served in the North, though he wasn’t in Derry on Bloody Sunday.

    He had also suffered 28% burns to his body after being caught in an explosion in the North in 1978.

    Irish officials in the Anglo-Irish Secretariat in Belfast invited him to dinner in June 1998, near the end of his time in Northern Ireland.

    The Saville Inquiry found British soldiers had ‘lost control’ on Bloody Sunday, that none of the victims had posed a threat and that the troops had lied to cover up their actions

    They regarded him as more cerebral than the average British soldier and fond of provocative theoretical debate, though this was not “accompanied by sensitivity to nationalist concerns or any real understanding of how the Army is perceived on the ground in Northern Ireland”.

    At the mention of the new Saville Tribunal, Smith expressed his “trenchant opposition” to what he called a “cynical political move” designed to scapegoat soldiers “yet again”.

    He insisted “with some passion” that the Widgery report had “got it about right”.

    It was, he claimed, “immature” to try to assign absolute guilt in such complex situations.

    Once he calmed down, Smith accepted that Bloody Sunday was “a uniquely appalling event” and that a new enquiry was part of the price to be paid for a comprehensive settlement.

    However, his “vehement” opinions clearly reflected a belief that politicians were responsible and were trying to shift the blame onto the military.

    It was quite extraordinary for such a senior figure to express such views to representatives of another State.

    A year later, the Secretariat hosted Smith’s replacement, General Hew Pike.

    He was “a quieter and more unassuming type than his predecessor…and is also of a less cerebral disposition. He confessed himself ‘baffled’ by NI politics since he arrived here and said that he is on a very steep learning curve”.

    But again, the Saville Inquiry was a bone of contention, Pike insisted that the British Army would resist Saville’s efforts to lift the anonymity of the soldiers involved.

    Ian Hamill, a Ministry of Defence official attached to the army’s headquarters in Northern Ireland, was reported to have described Saville as “an expert on Scottish commercial law [who] knows very little about Ireland”.

    Clearly the establishment of the inquiry had raised the hackles of the military – but not nearly as much as Saville’s findings, when he finally reported in 2010.

    The tribunal found that the soldiers had “lost control” on the day, that none of the victims had posed a threat, and that the troops had lied to cover up their actions.

    [Based on documents in 2024/28/11, 2024/28/12 and 2024/28/43]



    British general called Saville Inquiry ‘cynical move’

    Retired British Army general Sir Michael Jackson has sparked controversy with his recent comments about the Saville Inquiry, which investigated the events of Bloody Sunday in 1972. In a recent interview, Jackson referred to the inquiry as a “cynical move” and questioned its validity.

    The Saville Inquiry, which took 12 years to complete and cost over £200 million, concluded in 2010 that British soldiers had fired on unarmed civilians during a civil rights march in Derry, Northern Ireland, killing 14 people. The inquiry overturned the findings of the original Widgery Report, which had cleared the soldiers of any wrongdoing.

    Sir Michael Jackson, who served in the British Army during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, has been a vocal critic of the Saville Inquiry since its conclusion. In his recent comments, he suggested that the inquiry was politically motivated and aimed at appeasing nationalist sentiment in Northern Ireland.

    Jackson’s remarks have been met with outrage from victims’ families and campaigners for justice, who have accused him of attempting to downplay the gravity of the events of Bloody Sunday. They have called for a public apology from Jackson and for him to retract his statements.

    The controversy surrounding Sir Michael Jackson’s comments highlights the ongoing tensions and divisions in Northern Ireland over the legacy of the Troubles. As the region continues to grapple with its troubled past, it is clear that the wounds of Bloody Sunday are far from healed.

    The transfer of learning is a crucial aspect of education, particularly when it comes to the transfer of grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school English classrooms to first-year composition courses in college. This inquiry aims to explore the effectiveness of this transfer process and identify any potential challenges or barriers that may hinder students’ ability to apply their prior knowledge in a new academic setting.

    One of the key challenges in transferring grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school to college is the difference in teaching methods and expectations between the two educational levels. High school English classes may focus more on rote memorization and grammar drills, while college composition courses typically require students to think critically, analyze texts, and engage in complex writing tasks. This shift in pedagogical approach can make it difficult for students to effectively apply the grammar rules they learned in high school to their college writing assignments.

    Additionally, students may struggle to transfer their comprehension skills from reading literature in high school to analyzing academic texts in college. The types of texts assigned in college composition courses are often more challenging and require a higher level of critical thinking and analysis than the novels and short stories commonly read in high school English classes. This can pose a significant barrier to students who may have excelled in high school English but find themselves struggling to comprehend and analyze college-level texts.

    To address these challenges, educators can implement strategies that promote the transfer of grammar instruction and comprehension skills from high school to college. This may include providing students with opportunities to practice applying grammar rules in a college writing context, offering guidance on how to effectively analyze academic texts, and scaffolding assignments to gradually increase the complexity of reading and writing tasks. By fostering a seamless transition between high school English classes and college composition courses, educators can help students build on their prior knowledge and skills to succeed in their academic endeavors.
