HONEST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES: One major factor behind the confusing and complicated financial records of government at all levels in this country is the fact the most widely used accounting standards allow what amounts to bookkeeping sleights-of-hand concerning promised but unfunded future benefits.

CHANGE: Columnist George Will Drops 50 Years of Support for Mass Migration.
Establishment oracle George Will has reversed himself after a career of praising mass migration, dating back to the Reagan administration.
Will’s sudden renunciation of establishment orthodoxy after 50 years of support for mass migration was signaled with a single adjective in his April 24 column, as he lamented slow population growth under President Donald Trump’s low migration policy:
There is one promising solution. Increasing skilled immigration into our nation [emphasis added].
Not “mass migration,” not even just “migration.” Will is now backing only “skilled migration.”
The shift to “skilled” is a big change for 84-year-old Will, whose carefully written nationwide op-ed columns have shaped Baby Boomers, Millennials, and Generation X since 1974.
His careful word choice of “skilled” implies a smaller-scale inflow of highly productive people who can complement, but not replace or sideline, the native wisdom, diligence, and productivity of America’s vast citizenry.
But Will has spent the last 50 years and eight presidencies praising the elite-engineered mass immigration that has changed the United States’ suburban station-wagon politics into a battleground for myriad counterproductive ethnic rivalries.
“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people,” Milton Friedman once said. “The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or if they try, they will shortly be out of office.”

THIS IS, IN FACT, THE CENTRAL ISSUE OF OUR AGE: Managerial Bureaucracy’s Threat to Democracy and Humanity.
One gets the sense that the honest view of our exasperated political elites is as captured in a Bloomberg News headline from last year which read: “2024 is a year of elections, and that’s a threat to democracy.”
In country after country, governments are moving to desparately tighten their grip over the people they rule, sharply curtailing freedom of speech and access to information, and using alleged threats to security and stability to justify granting themselves emergency powers, weaponizing the law, criminalizing dissent, and suppressing any meaningful political opposition.
They must be taught not to do that.

BRANDING: Trump backs idea of changing ICE’s name to ‘NICE.’
President Trump on Sunday endorsed the idea of changing the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would give the agency the acronym NICE.
The idea was promoted by conservative influencer Alyssa Marie last month.
“I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday,” Marie wrote in a March post on social platform X.
Late Sunday evening, the president publicly endorsed the switch.
“GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Democrats are usually so much better at this stuff. It’s, uh, nice to see Republicans playing the game.
