A square photographic artistic meme "Up in Smoke" © 2026 by R.J. Matson as follows: On a gray, smoky background, the viewer is presented with a caricature of a large black oil tanker ship on the ocean off the coast of "Iran". The coast of Iran has a few jets flying up high dropping bombs on all the installations on fire below them. Presumably these are either U.S. planes dropping U.S. bombs or Israeli planes dropping U.S. bombs. Reports indicate these bombing sorties have killed an estimated 1,800 Iranians thus far (13MAR2026 - the end of the second week). On the side of the ship on the ocean are large white letters that say "FEDERAL BUDGET" while the back of the ship (the name of the ship) is "USA". The ship has a red stripe going all the way around the top edge. On the back of the ship sits a replica of the white rotunda of the U.S. capitol building. In the middle of the ship next to the huge white rotunda is a very large conflagration with $ signs flying everywhere as if being exploded out. The large gray cloud above this fire has white lettering as follows: "$ 1 BILLION PER DAY". On the front of the ship is another fire with a large $ in that smoke cloud as well.
