Where are the Democrats? What are they doing about the damage President Donald Trump is doing to … everything? I hear that a lot from my liberal friends these days, ever since Trump swept the battleground states six months ago and proceeded to dismantle government as we Americans used to know it.

I can hardly think of President Donald Trump and Africa without also remembering his global insult to underdeveloped nations. In a 2018 Oval Office meeting, you may recall, he grumbled aloud about why this country would accept more immigrants from “s—holes” in Haiti and Africa rather than places like, say, Norway. With that in mind, I had low expectations for his first meeting last week with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

President Donald Trump’s refugee policy reminds me of what automaker Henry Ford supposedly said about his company’s Model T: “A customer can have a car painted any color he wants as long as it’s black.”So it is with the Trump administration’s policy toward refugees who are fleeing war or political persecution, albeit with a color preference somewhat at odds with Ford’s.

Once loyal Chicagoans got over the double shock of hearing that a local native, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, has been named the 267th pope, some critically important, locally familiar questions came up:Which parish is he from? Sox fan or Cubs fan? And what bearing will his papacy have on the Great Pizza Schism, under which the local deep-dish faithful have suffered the odium of thin-crust New Yorkers? No problem. Pope Leo XIV, as he will be known, is very Chicago.
