Independence Day "Day of Independence") is the national day of Israel, commemorating the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948. some people think this will be a testing of Israel's Independence I'm glad President Trump is on their side (along with his son in law too being Jewish) 2018 will be a trying year. I would be surprised if nothing happens and as always the USA will have to take sides.

That was not my intention and I apologize.
As to the links you posted, I'm having a hard time connecting that to your original statement. Quote:
Merriam-Websters' definition.... An established order of society: such as a : a group of social, economic, and political leaders who form a ruling class (as of a nation) b : a controlling group In the United States I don't think that group is "mostly right-wing and conservative". But I am willing to be enlightened.

As far as i have understood that, the "red states" are actually richer by households and consumption, while the "blue" states only seem to be rich from outside and statistics because of big business (net worth/corporations), but not by the income or the consuption of the common people.
Which is why the author in the first link makes up the thesis that "The richer people, by the only standard that actually matters, that consumption, are voting right wing, the poorer are voting left."

I've already posted the exact texts of Special Counsel Mueller's Grand Jury authorized indictments of Manafort and Gates, as well as the exact texts of the plea agreements allocuted to by Flynn and Papdopolous, irrefutable proof of the exact extent of the investigation so far, yet there has been a question about the scope of Mueller's investigation. Mueller was appointed by Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein, acting in place of Atty. Gen. Sessions, who recused himself from the Russia investigations over conflict of interest concerns; Rosenstein, himself, is a Trump appointee, and his appointment was confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate. Here is a link to the official Justice Dept. posting of Mueller's appointment as Special Counsel by Rothstein:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-re...67231/download Below is a quote directly from the text: Quote:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/600.4 Quote:
In case you may have wondered if Sessions can tip off persons under possible investigation, or even Trump, himself, the text of 28 C.F.R. § 600.6 puts the investigation(s) by Special Counsel outside of the purview of the Atty. Gen., if the SC should so determine: Quote:
All the above is not "fake news": it is firm, solid Federal Law, as writ. The bellyaching of the Trump defenders (why they are defending Trump when he is not known to be a subject of an investigation is a greater mystery) does not hold water in the face of solid law and, as usual, in the face of cold, hard facts... <O>

Trump Voter Commission Bites The Dust...
Yet anther of Trump's initiatives has bitten the dust: the Commission Trump ordered to investigate alleged, and widely debunked, mass voter fraud was quietly disbanded by anther order signed by Trump, a sharp contrast to the fanfare accompanying its inception; not with a bang, but with a whimper...
Trump signs order disbanding voter fraud commission -- https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-sig...-politics.html Trump abolishes controversial voter fraud panel -- https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/...ud-commission/ Trump abolishes controversial commission studying alleged voter fraud -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.3b10bdd639e1 I do believe it may be official: the Detroit Tigers, the San Francisco Giants and, even, the Cleveland Browns have had better seasons than Trump... <O>

And like clockwork the new book hits the streets which is filled with controversy, drama, rumor, hearsay. As some have written people :are breathlessly awaiting a new book promising to damage the presidency as they anticipate their 2018 talking points". Oh, and it will help boost book sales too.

I don't think calling Trump voters "Nazis" is going to work out any better for your side than calling them "deplorables" did.

Remember when the Trump-GOP Tax Plan was passed a little while back? Remember when Trump loudly and boastfully bellowed about how major US firms were going to give employees large bonuses and create more jobs as a result of the Tax Plan? Remember how it was all "sunshine, lollipops and rainbows"? Remember how AT&T was proudly in the forefront of all the glad-handing? Remember?...
Well, there doesn't seem to be the same volume level when it comes to the reality and the facts: AT&T, touting bonuses and investment fueled by tax reform, quietly lays off thousands -- https://www.indystar.com/story/money...led/992690001/ Quote:
