The Geography of Partisan Prejudice
A guide to the most—and least—politically open-minded counties in America
We know that americans have become more biased against one another based on partisan affiliation over the past several decades. Most of us now discriminate against members of the other political side explicitly and implicitly—in hiring, dating, and marriage, as well as judgments of patriotism, compassion, and even physical attractiveness, according to recent research.

COUNTY SHERIFFS TAKE SANCTUARY CITY PLAYBOOK TO DEFY GUN CONTROL
County officials across four states have adopted “sanctuary jurisdiction” strategies to thwart gun-control laws, according to Reuters Monday. The Trump administration’s tough stance on immigration led many cities across the country to pass resolutions resolving not to defend current U.S. Immigration Law. Anti-gun control organizers have started to use the same tactic.

Joe Biden and the Puppet Masters
To make his point about how bad President Trump is, Joe Biden told his audience in Omaha last week that Vice President Mike Pence is a "decent guy." Whoops---Not part of the script. The puppet masters in Hollywood immediately jerked his strings, and within hours Joe, who is about to join the soon-to-become-I'm-running-for-president crowd, decided that Mike Pence is despicable.

US State GDPs Compared to Entire Countries
It’s pretty difficult to even comprehend how ridiculously large the US economy is. Overall, the US produced 24.3% of world GDP in 2017, with only about 4.3% of the world’s population. Four of America’s states (California, Texas, New York and Florida) produced more than $1 trillion in output and as separate countries would have ranked in the world’s top 16 largest economies last year. Together, those four US states produced nearly $7.5 trillion in economic output last year, and as a separate country would have ranked as the world’s third-largest economy.

Banking leak exposes Russian network with link to Prince Charles
A charity run by Prince Charles received donations from an offshore company that was used to funnel vast amounts of cash from Russia in a scheme that is under investigation by prosecutors, the Guardian can reveal. Money flowing through the network included cash that can be linked to some of the most notorious frauds committed during Vladimir Putin’s presidency. In all, it is estimated that $4.6bn (£3.5bn) was sent to Europe and the US from a Russian-operated network of 70 offshore companies with accounts in Lithuania. The details have emerged from 1.3m banking transactions obtained by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and the Lithuanian website 15min.lt.
