Defeating ISIS Is Good For The Environment
Life in the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) is not exactly paradise. Children are indoctrinated, women are severely oppressed, and infidels are beheaded. Ancient cultural artifacts and historical treasures are destroyed. Liberating people conquered by ISIS, therefore, is good not only for humanitarian reasons but for archaeological ones, as well. Now, it appears there is yet another reason to defeat ISIS: It might be good for the planet. A new study published by Princeton University and the World Bank shows that oil production in ISIS-controlled areas has fallen by over 70%, from 5... more »

Picture Of The Day
The flag of the Soviet Union flies over Vladimir Lenin's tomb during ceremonies in 2007, marking the 90th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Ten years on, the Kremlin's campaigns to reconcile its Soviet and czarist periods reflect the underlying contradictions in Russia's history. Czar Nicholas II, now hailed as a martyr, was an unpopular and ineffectual ruler. The Soviet system, envisioned as a utopia, was forged through a bloody revolution. And today, Russia is a powerful global actor with an increasingly tenuous grasp on its domestic affairs. (NATALIA KOLESNIKOVA/AFP) *WNU ... more »

*A YEAR WITHOUT A PRESIDENT* It seems like forever, but it was just one year ago that Donald Trump was elected president. So what have we learned about the presidency and who is running the country? *1. The first big thing we’ve learned is that Trump is not really the president of the United States – because he’s not governing.* A president who’s governing doesn’t blast his Attorney General for doing his duty and recusing himself from an FBI investigation of the president. A president who’s governing doesn’t leave the top echelons of departments and agencies empty for almost a y... more »
Oh, That Explains it
Just since the Charleston AME shooting in 2015, more people have died in church at the hands of white Christian terrorists than those at the hands of Muslim terrorists in airports, sports stadiums, courthouses, high schools and where ever else we've bunched up our security apparatus. In fact, it could be plausibly argued toddlers had killed more people in 2015 than Muslim terrorists. It seems we have our priorities ass backwards.
