Interesting to hear President Donald Trump scheming for a third term, despite the Constitution. One of the ideas is for whoever is elected in 2028 to voluntarily step aside and turn the reins over to him. Sort of like the arrangement he has with Elon Musk. The problem with that scenario is that even unelected presidents must face polls – opinion polls and, indirectly, election polls. After Wisconsin, it is clear Musk isn't doing well in either.

“St. Louis was shrinking until the immigrants arrived,” according to the March 9 New York Times. The long article details the city’s efforts over the last several years to attract immigrants. In 2023 the region added 30,000 foreign-born residents, almost enough to replace the 34,000 native-born residents who had left. Now parts of the city are thriving with Afghan groceries, restaurants and businesses, and an engineering firm owned by an immigrant from Venezuela.

It may be too soon, but if things get any crazier in Washington it will be time for level-headed conservatives to start thinking about forming a new political movement, like their ancestors did 170 years ago. Back then the Republican Party was formed by anti-slavery activists; now, what to be against is less clear – oligarchical right-wing populism maybe – but its outlines are sharpening daily. A new movement could begin to form around what it's for.

While chaos reigned in Washington this week, there was rare joy in Israel and Gaza. So far, the cease-fire is holding, and hostages are gradually being released in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Reunions anywhere are emotional, but no sight was happier than the picture of thousands of displaced Palestinians, many on foot, trekking toward home in Northern Gaza. Their houses are rubble now, but home is where their houses were.
