Well partially true. It was a metaphor about the people vs the elite, but not just the Eastern elites. Wicked Witch of the East represented the banks/eastern concerns and the Wicked Witch of the West represented the gold miners/western concerns.
So even then it was flyover country vs the coasts.
Tin Man represented factory workers
Scarecrow was the farmers
Cowardly lion was William Jennings Bryan
Emerald city was the greenback
Bryan was in support of moving the dollar to a bi-metal basis using both silver and gold. Slippers represented silver on top of a gold base (silver slippers walking on top of a gold road). Bryan is represented as cowardly because he changed his presidential campaign platform from a focus on Free Silver (which was the main focus in 1896) to an anti-imperialism focus in 1900. Free silver was still on the platform, just not talked about. Bryan was for a free Cuba but upset after the Spanish-American war that the US took possession of the Philippines. Despite this opposition he encouraged fellow democrats to vote for the Treaty of Paris to end the war.
KEK!!!!!!!
I suppose a better interpretation of the Emerald city would be the Treasury vs just the greenback. But the idea is that silver arrives to take on the western concerns-gold only standard for the greenback and gets treasury support in the end.

Expert Breaks Down for AOC Why We Have The Electoral College

I think DJT should turn his criticism of ‘major cities’ dem problems’ momentum towards asking Chicago if they’d like to have Giuliani to intervene to solve their gun problem.
If they say ‘no’, boom! If they say yes, we’d see a major city clean-up and a playbook for the other cities.
keep checking for info on this today
JW needs it’s own web video crew like RSBN to follow everything the are doing. I would love to see the hearings or at least get real time reporting from the courthouse.
I would volunteer if I could.
I hope someone somewhere is looking into something ... I am curious whether there was any financial manipulation somehow that led to the yield curve generating an “indicator” that led to all this “recession” garbage in #FakeNews. The fact George Soros made his fortune through currency manipulation comes to mind.
Joe Wilson of SC. is the one who yelled you lie at the liar Obama.
Setting the table for release of pedo island investigation??
Unreal...

Do you think 10 years is enough? How about 20? What is the magic number? I am sure Trump has many things figured out. We all can wish for expedited process. Or is that out of bounds?

All too real.
"I'm not leaving," remember? He meant it.
Shock!
Wow. Just wow.
I am thinking that POTUS will have a new resort. ;)
JOE WALSH is from ILLINOIS - RINO stronghold. Consider the source. I met him at a GOP Lincoln Dinner. Overrated. Not much there.
