ObaIgwe1:
Yeah I seriously want peace in Gaza, but I never said that will qualify Trump for the Nobel peace price. I am only happy that his obsession for the Nobel prize is making him do something about Gaza. (Below is my post before the announcement yesterday)

Now according to Trump, I paraphrase; if there is an anarchy or Govt. shutdown, we should hold the president weak and incapable of good leadership. I agree with him, Trump is weak and incapable. So he is not qualify for Nobel Peace Prize.
His leadership of the Gaza Israel Palestine situation is the closest any president has ever brought them to a long lasting peace deal. He was able to have Qatar, Saudi , Egyot6, Turkey and other countries then their backs on Hamas and forge working relationships with Israel. Remember the 3 No's if the Khartoum declaration. Maybe you don't even know, that's a story for another day.

Govt shutdown. In the OBBB there were changes made to heakthcare. Schumer sensing that AOC will upstage him demands they be reversed. He goes further left. Which opens a loophole for illegals to get taxpayer paid for healthcare The Continuing Resolution needs 60 votes ,needs 7 democrats . How is Trump to blame. P/S I'm.no authority on this shutdown,maybe you can explain how Trump is to blame.

Holy Molly. Letitia James is crooked. The above indictment is for one home in the Commonwealth of Virginia. She claimed it was a secondary residence but in reality was renting it out .
She purchased 3 homes all of which she played clever.😆😆😆
One she bought with her aunt and cousin where she misspelled her name. The other she declared it's her primary residence which was also to provide shelter to her nice , who was absconding justice from N Carolina on parole violation and with an active arrest warrant.

Expect a superseding indictment covering her 3 homes from Virginia.

Hunter Biden had lied on a official document that he wasn't a drug addict , but prosecution before a very friendly jury showed proof he was taking drugs at the time of purchase. You can't run away when you clearly stare one thing on a form.
Letitia deliberately lied for years , she had the intent , it wasn't a one off mistake.
She also lied about her New York home about being a four dweller unit while it's a five dweller, she lied repeatedly while refinancing her home many times.


CNN should have it's licence revoked , downplaying mortgage fraud .. " she was indicted after Trump's pressure..." nonsense.

Daily Mail has more details. Article is behind a paywall .....

You guys think an actual peaceful person is one that looks for trouble or agitate people. Take a look at how he is treating his fellow americans. The same human being who went to the UN general Assembly to insult all and sundry. Is that kind of human being a peaceful person??

Trumps approach to peace is for self aggrandisement and hypocritical I.e for show biz..

Youd know a peaceful person by the way that person treats all people.

Let him create his own award (like he created his own social media platform) and award himself with it..
So Yasser Arafat is more worthy?

lol I pity him though... the truth is that Trump was only plotting and campaigning to get the prize with his actions because he desperately wanna win it like Obama, but Trump is never a man of peace, he is a bully and a very vindictive man. The anti-peace chaos he is causing right within US is enough to disqualify him.

I hope he doesn't soft-pedal on Gaza peace deal now (even though we know it is one of his campaign for the Nobel Peace price) He might just succeed to deceive the committee next year if the deal goes through and peace remains in Gaza. cheesy

His victory would have done further disservice to the prize. I was hoping for that to happen since it's been given to warmongers before. Nevertheless, Trump brought this disgrace upon himself. As a master negotiator that he claims to be, he shouldn't have allowed his desperation to be so obvious
She is a good choice if we consider those who have fuqed up countries like Egypt, Syria or Libya while promoting the Islamic State. That is, if starting wars is their criteria . And not ending them.

Add Yasser Arafat the billionaire enterprenuer (sarcasm), godfather of terrorism under whose reign the suicide vest was invented.

What had Obama done. Promote Muslim Brotherhood, which took over Egypt with the intention of turning the pyramids country into a Caliphate.
My quote earlier.


In his 2009 Cairo speech Obama demanded 10 Muslim Brotherhood members be given front seats. Mohammed Habib: Deceased (died 2016); was arrested multiple times post-2013.
Essam El-Haddad: In exile in Qatar; under U.S. sanctions since 2015 for MB ties; active in MB media.
8 Unnamed MB Parliamentarians (collective status): Most arrested/imprisoned in Egypt (e.g., life sentences for alleged violence); ~5-6 in exile (Qatar/Turkey); 1-2 deceased from detention/health issues; none hold public office.
Countries Designating MB as terrorists organization
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
Russia
Syria
Jordan
Libya (Haftar faction)
Austria
Kazakhstan
Uzbekistan
Tajikistan
Singapore
The U.S. has not designated the MB globally (debated in 2025 Congress), but lists branches like Hamas.


Obama dropped 100,000 bombs,he left Syria and Libya in a mess.

Trump is doing exactly the opposite of it so he will never get it. The Trump Gaza plan is designed to further dehumanize Palestinians with a new set of occupation force and save Netanyahu from imminent disgrace having failed to achieve none of his war goals even after committing genocide in Gaza.
Conclusion. Obama loves them terrorists.

FreeStuffsNG:
Announcing the award at a ceremony in Oslo on Friday, the committee praised Machado’s “struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Congratulations!
Well deserved to send a strong message to those males who think that might is right.

The committee selected a person that represents and embodies everything that Trump does not represent. Her country is the most hated country by Trump who is still killing Venezuelans on the pretext that the boats are suspected to be carrying narcotics.

The message is loud and clear to Trump.

WHY TRUMP WAS IGNORED- Experts.

Historian and Nobel Prize specialist Asle Sveen said the newly announced ceasefire deal in Gaza “has absolutely no impact” on the choice, particularly because “the Nobel Committee has already made its decision.”

“Trump will not win the prize this year. I’m 100 percent certain,” he added.

Sveen also pointed to the “free rein” Trump has given Israel to bombard Gaza, as well as the massive amounts of military support.

Other experts, including the director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, Nina Graeger, have also expressed doubt that Trump could win the prize.

“He has withdrawn the US from the World Health Organization [WHO] and from the Paris Accord on climate, he has initiated a trade war on old friends and allies. That is not exactly what we think about when we think about a peaceful president or someone who really is interested in promoting peace,” Graeger told Reuters last month.

Trump came into office this year framing himself as the ‘peace president’ and ender of wars.

Despite this, he launched a brutal war on Yemen in March that killed hundreds of civilians. Throughout the year, he provided Israel with billions in military aid as it continued its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

He also ordered a massive US bunker-buster attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, in support of Israel’s illegal war on Iran. During his first term years ago, Trump illegally assassinated Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, risking a widespread regional escalation.
Yasser Arafat the terrorist who launched the intifada 1 and 2 that specifically targeted civilians

Obama who dropped over 100,000 bombs with 20000 in 2016 alone.

Al Gore. For predicting that Manhattan will be underwater, polar bears will disappear, Mt Kilimanjaro snow caps will disappear, and the the arctics will be ice free.

BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on a criminal bank fraud charge.
She had choice words to say about Trump on election night and during campaign.

Election Night (November 6, 2018):
"I will be shining a bright light into every dark corner of his real estate business, and every dealing, to make sure the law is followed and justice is done."
Day After (November 7, 2018):
"We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions, and that of his family as well."
On Investigating Trump (August 2018)
"We need to focus on taking on this administration, Donald Trump, and his corruption in Washington, D.C."
On Trump’s Business (September 2018):
"I’m running to hold Donald Trump accountable for any illegal activity in New York."

After being indicted here she goes

"This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General."

Personal Resolve: "I am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful, I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.


Phew ,she didn't say she is black this time.

---Another nothing burger indictment on just one count of 'alleged' mortgage fraud against Letitia James---just to smear her reputation---for doing her job---

---A diversion to release the Epstein files---

---By the way---how is James Comey court case going with the illegal appointed, inexperienced Lindsay Halligan---
I think your brain works in reverse. She was personally able to get two counts in Comey case. She had only been there less than 3 days.

Don't know about Letitia if that's your defense boy you are crazy. DOJ has seconded two lawyers to lead cases because the current are either corrupted or biased. These are Gabriel J. Diaz and Nathaniel T. Lemons.

You might be pleased that the judge appointed to Comry case has refused to recuse himself despite him being conflicted ie
_Nachmanoff hired by Comey twice.
_Clerked for Brinkema during Comey's tenure.
_Biden appointee, tied to Democrats.
_Father donated to Obama, DNC.
_Handled Trump-related cases before the Giuliani associates.
****Conflict Here***
First Hiring (1995-1996): Nachmanoff joined the EDVA U.S. Attorney’s Office as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) in 1995, shortly after his clerkship. Comey was an AUSA in EDVA from 1987 to 1993 and later Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division (1993-1995). Sources confirm Comey, as a senior official, was involved in hiring Nachmanoff for this role.
Second Hiring (2002): Nachmanoff returned to EDVA as an AUSA in 2002 after private practice. Comey was U.S. Attorney for EDVA (1996-2001) and then Deputy Attorney General (2003-2005). Sources indicate Comey, while no longer at EDVA, influenced Nachmanoff’s rehiring through his DOJ connections or prior relationship.



In the Letitia James case ,a judge appointed by Joe Biden has been randomly selected to hear the case

The judge in Comey case was appointed by Joe Biden also.

Financial Times writes that in his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump has gone too far.

‘Trump is putting pressure on the Nobel Committee. He constantly says: ‘I need the prize, I am a worthy candidate’ — this is not a very peaceful approach,’ said Nina Greger, director of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo. Trump also pressured the Norwegian government. According to Norwegian officials, he mentioned this award at least once in a phone call with the finance minister and former NATO chief Stoltenberg. There is also some concern in Oslo that Trump may take retaliatory measures such as tariffs or other sanctions if he does not win on Friday.’
You can tell whoever wrote that article is fuming that a Nobel Prize will be handed out a clearly deserving winner unlike the Obama one.
If Obama had not coddled Iran , Hamas would never have invaded Israel and Trump would not be deserving of the Prize That's one reason the media is unhappy about the Peace deal. It makes Obama prize sound worthless.

Trump's obsession for that Nobel Peace Price is insane. He thinks that's the only thing Obama has ahead of him.

But if that obsession makes him holdback of Netanyahu, then I will say thank God for the Nobel Price.
Israel analysts accused Obama (by extension his spiritual advisor Valarie Jarrett) of leaking US intelligence about Iran nuclear strikes. This was to preeempt a strike on their facilities. Obama went ahead to cobble up a nuclear deal that gave Iran billions of dollars in exchange id them not developing a.bomb for 10 years..He knew the US Congress /Senate would not ratify it so he sneaked it through the UN The most stupid deal in the history of deal making.
Trump joined Bibi in taking out their nuclear sites, something the charlatan allowed them to build and produce Highly Enriched Uranium.

If those Nobel prize committee had any inkling of decency they should strip Obama of that Proze He gave Iran pallets of if cash in European currency to secure release of some hostage too.

Iran was happy to get sanctions rolled back and what did they do? They armed the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas which eventually led the Gazan terrorists invade Israel, murder over 1300 ,kidnap, rape, main and fire thousands of rockets . A war that Trump has worked to stop and craft a long lasting peace deal for the Middle East .
All because of that snivelling piece of garbage.

Budaatum. The elite UK Green Party has concluded that society has no place for private landlords
.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uks-green-party-demands-abolition-private-landlords

‘The private rental sector has failed, it is a vehicle for wealth extraction, funnelling money from renters to the landlord class…

This motion makes it clear that Green Party policy is to seek the effective abolition of private landlordism and to support the building of council housing.

…The Green Party believes the existence of private landlords adds no positive value to the economy or society, that the relationship between landlord and tenant is inherently and intrinsically extractive and exploitative.”


On eof it's cosigner is a landlord who will just give up his property since he doesn't make a profit.

Oh! But the tariffs are not coming from the pocket of the rich, as far as they know, even though they are a tax on the profits of the companies most own shares in.

Companies are cutting their profit margins or reducing overheads in order to absorb the tariffs. I doubt there has been an exact corresponding increase in consumer good prices.
You have a study to show cobsuners are paying more?
Without tariffs prices still go up every year ,so you can factor that out .
