With the death of Pope Francis, the world loses not only a church leader but also a moral compass

TWO days before its welcome end, the Trump regime’s “1776 Commission” released a new report, designed, said a White House statement, to counter efforts “to reframe American history around the idea that the United States is not an exceptional country but an evil one.”
With consistent insensitivity, it chose Martin Luther King Jr Day to disseminate its “patriotic education curriculum,” which, among other things, justified the hypocrisy of the founding fathers for holding slaves while criticising the institution of slavery.
It also took a pointed shot at Marxism which it described as a “radical rejection of human dignity.”

The Trump government is seizing overseas students from their homes and campuses and even off the streets, with no legal grounds and no due process, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
