The probability of election fraud is astronomical, given the potential spoils for the winners. Now look at government -- just a few examples: The City of Chicago has a $16.6 billion budget. There are tens of thousands of cities in the U.S., most of them smaller than that, but all of them containing an array of sub-accounts, from road funds to office space rental, to staff and foodservice and maintenance contracts.

POZNAN, Poland (AP) — A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today, the economy of the country has edged past Switzerland to become the world’s 20th largest with more than $1 trillion in annual output. It’s a historic leap from the post-Communist ruins of 1989-90 to European growth champion, which economists say has lessons on how to bring prosperity to ordinary people — and that the Trump administration says should be recognized by Poland’s presence at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies later this year.

Catherine Connolly used her first St Patrick’s Day message to celebrate migrants and warn against the “normalisation of war” ahead of Irish premier Micheal Martin’s meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday. A week ago she criticised the “deliberate assaults on international law” in the Middle East and said the UN charter “cannot be ignored”. While not naming the US or Israel explicitly, this was seen as a rebuke of the Irish government after ministers avoided stating that the bombing campaign on Iran broke international law. In her St Patrick’s Day message on Monday, Ms Connolly said...
