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

INEVITABLY, Donald Trump won Tuesday’s New Hampshire Republican primary, solidifying the position he has held all along — as the equally inevitable Republican nominee for a return to the US presidency.
Despite the 91 criminal charges he faces; the documented 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his previous four-year stint as US president; and the accusations of rape against him by at least 26 women, Trump’s popularity remains at an all-time high.
Indeed, this singular ability to defy decency and the law likely boosted Trump’s chances in New Hampshire, where non-conformism is less an aspiration than a way of life.

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
