As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Emancipated Human,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"If regulatory growth froze in 1980, we would today be approximately $4 trillion richer! The Cost of Regulations: If the cost of regulatory accumulations ($4 trillion) were a country, it would have the 4th largest GDP in the world. (That amount is large enough to be the world's 4th largest economy!) GDP, in nominal 2012 dollars (billion USD)"

War to “Stop” War: Why the Obama Doctrine is Ravaging the Middle East:

(Ramzy Baroud) Everyone seems to have a theory on how to obliterate ISIS, or ‘Daesh’. However, two points are rarely raised: one, concerning the origins of the group and the second, on whether there are genuine intentions to defeat it, in the first place.

We must boldly address the first to unravel the enigma behind the rise and growth of ‘Daesh’ – otherwise, how else can the group be dismantled.

We must contend with the second point before engaging in superfluous discussions about the most appropriate war strategy – that if war is, at all, the answer.

Tammy S.: They work their butts off to win and represent our country and they are penalized. That’s a shame. I understand we need taxation. Some things should be exempt just on principle, like Olympic Medals.

(Melissa Dykes) While it’s all over the mainstream media that Russia is using Iranian bases to stage attacks against ISIS for the first time — GASP! — even though A) Russia notified the U.S.-led coalition it would be doing so and B) we all know who created ISIS in the first place, establishment propaganda peddler TIME put a spin on it that will send chills down the spines of anyone paying attention to how much we’re currently being groomed towards war with Iran.

That has changed. With the publication of emails expressly aimed at damaging Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy, WikiLeaks has shifted from a global platform for whistle-blowers to something less exalted — and lately, a bit strange.
