“Few leaders have achieved such tangible breakthroughs to peace in such a short time. In these times of great historic change, I can think of no one more deserving than President Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize.” PM Netanyahu’s letter nominating President Trump for Nobel Prize.

Today's CNN This Morning panel burst into laughter when MRC alum and Daily Signal president Rob Bluey said that, based on his accomplishments in the Middle East, there's "talk again about giving Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize."Granted, Trump was able to accomplish what he has thanks to Israel having virtually eliminated Hezbollah, greatly weakened Hamas, and destroyed Iran's air defenses. So, what say a joint Nobel for Trump and Bibi Netanyahu? That would make liberal heads explode louder than a bunker buster! For decades, Iran has been the world's worst sponsor of terrorism. The homicidal fanaticism of its regime...

For a brief window this week, President Donald Trump was out of the running for a Nobel Peace Prize, after a Ukrainian lawmaker withdrew his nomination on Monday for not ending the war there, and before Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., nominated him on Tuesday for the ceasefire between Israel and Iran.You can imagine the guffaws and hair-pulling from the Trump-is-Hitler crowd at the thought that anyone would see him as a suitable candidate for this prize.But as much as we’d love to watch their heads explode as he walked up to accept the award, we think Trump should take himself...

The US president no longer cares about the near-term political consequences of his actions, says the former senior official in an interview in Washington. Few people know the inside of U.S. Republican administrations as well as John Bolton, who has worked on foreign policy in every one of them since the days of Ronald Reagan. Under George W. Bush, he served as ambassador to the UN, and in Donald Trump’s first term, he served as National Security Adviser for 18 months—“a record for that administration,” he recalls with a laugh. The relationship didn’t end well: Bolton, like many other senior...

As tough as it was for the liberal media to swallow Trump's 2016 and 2024 presidential election wins, imagine their absolute horror if Trump were to win the Nobel Peace Prize! And yet . . . On today's Morning Joe, MSNBC commentator and Washington Post editor David Ignatius, noting the "amazing agenda" of Trump's peace efforts around the world, said there was "something to" the notion of Trump winning the Peace Prize.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter! May 10, 2025, 7:55 AM

US President Donald Trump hosts an iftar dinner at the White House where he thanks Muslims in America for voting for him in record numbers in the previous election. “I want to extend a very special thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Muslim Americans who supported us in record numbers in the 2024 presidential election. It was incredible. We started a little slow with you, but we came along,” Trump says. “The Muslim community was there for us in November, and while I’m president, I will be there for you.” “We’re keeping our promises to the Muslim community. My...

Top EU official starts crying on the stage during hsi speech, from the very idea of America not paying for Europe's defense. Another top German official threatens to deny President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize if President Trump signs peace agreement with Putin. Meanwhile other German officials threaten to jail people for making social media posts. Europeans are just used to free money from America, but its going to get cut off. tears from them or not, Worth watching.

Donald Trump is not just a political genius domestically but geopolitically as well. Transforming the current quagmire of Gaza with a new Riviera would create jobs. That would lift the living standards of many local workers. Those workers would have to be good at hospitality not hatred and terrorism. Will it work? ....... Should we nominate him for the Nobel Prize for peace now or wait to see how it pans out? It would be a less premature nomination than the successful nomination of Barak Obama. My prayers are for peace.

Numerous German streets are named after him, as are hundreds of schools, universities and hospitals. Albert Schweitzer — scientist, doctor, philosopher, theologian, author, musician and Nobel Peace Prize winner — was long revered for his humanitarian work in Africa. The clinic he set up in Lambarene in present-day Gabon in West Africa earned him the moniker, "jungle doctor." But Schweitzer was also a product of his time. Born in 1875 in Alsace, then part of the German Empire, and today eastern France, he was influenced by the ongoing and brutal colonialization of large parts of Africa by European countries. Schweitzer,...

A Ukrainian politician and lawmaker has nominated President-elect Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, the Kyiv Independent reported. Oleksandr Merezhko, a top member of parliament from Servant of the People, the party of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has reportedly sent a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee nominating the president-elect for the prestigious prize. "It is my belief that Trump has made considerable contributions to world peace, and that he can make more in the future," he wrote, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Why we shouldn’t waste our time on the Nobel committee's Newspeak.. Last week nominations for the Noble Peace Prize were announced, and the nominees were typical of the Prize’s history. A perusal of past winners reveals that the majority of prizes are for good intention, moralizing internationalism and its institutions, short-lived peace treaties, feckless disarmament, and any choice that gratifies global anti-Americanism. And let’s not forget terrorists and their enablers included in this year’s nominees: the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency, the International Court of Justice, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. All three reflect the Prize’s long history of promulgating...

A press conference was held today by the Hostages Families Forum in response to UNRWA being among the nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be announced tomorrow. Ayelet Samerano, mother of Yonatan Samerano who was murdered on October 7th and whose body was taken to Gaza by an UNRWA social worker, spoke at the press conference. She was joined by Daniel Carmon, the Deputy Permanent Representative at Israel's UN mission and Ambassador to India, and Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch. Ayelet stated, "In the first few months after October 7, we reached out to many human...

OSLO — The Norwegian Nobel Committee has announced the recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize will be Hamas, for their valiant efforts to release a few kidnapped children in exchange for several terrorists. "The humanity, compassion, and kindness of this act are inspiring to us all," said a Nobel Committee Spokesperson Ingrid Haugen while presenting the award to a Hamas fighter wearing a vest strapped with c4 and ball bearings. "Hamas didn't need to release these orphaned Israeli child colonizers after slaughtering their parents in front of them, but they did. We could use more tender goodwill like this...

[SNIP] In a clear swipe at his predecessor, George W. Bush, the committee praised the “change in the international climate” that the President had brought, along with his cherished goal of ridding the world of nuclear weapons. [SNIP] But Lech Walesa, [SNIP], who won the Peace Prize in 1983, [SNIP], declaring: “So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far.” Mr Obama’s domestic critics leapt on the award as evidence of foreigners fawning over an untested “celebrity” leader. [SNIP] The Nobel Peace Prize is a notoriously difficult award to predict, but yesterday's decision was clearly a political choice, with...

Edward Teller, the father of the Hydrogen bomb, received a Nobel Prize for peace in 1991 and was rumoured to be an inspiration for Dr Strangelove. He died in Stanford on the 9th of September, 2003. Teller believed: "Life improves slowly and goes wrong fast, and only catastrophe is clearly visible." His thought provoking words are good enough for me to call him an Indigenous Man Of Anglosphere (IMOTA) but I am not if I admire him. Only God is omniscient.

Jimmy Kimmel was branded a 'national disgrace' after fans claimed he 'harassed' Taliban shooting survivor Malala Yousafzai during a bizarre Oscars 2023 segment. The host, 55, left the Nobel Peace Prize winner, 25, visibly uncomfortable as he approached her during a break in proceedings and asked her an awkward question about Harry Styles and Chris Pine's 'spit-gate' drama. The presenter read out a question from a fan named Joanne, saying: 'She asked, your work on human rights and education for women and children is an inspiration–as the youngest Nobel prize winner in history, do you think Harry Styles spit on...

Be prepared for increased tension this Spring, followed by a Chinese invasion of Kinmen, then in late Summer or September Biden (his puppetmaster) and Putin will negotiate a treaty that restores oil flow, gives Putin the Ukraine (or massive parts of it), reduces our nuclear weapons amd presence in Eastern Europe, and restores the Iranian nuclear deal. Same for the Chinese. It will be heralded by the MSM as "peace in our time" and Biden will be portray as a great statesman for "solving" two crises and "lowering" gas prices. Biden and the Dems will get a massive poll bump...

The Biden administration debacle in Afghanistan has convinced America’s enemies of the administration’s weakness and vulnerability. The timing of Vladimir Putin’s march on Ukraine is undoubtedly connected to the perception in Moscow of Washington’s lack of will to engage in a confrontation. Communist China is astutely waiting for the right time to seize Taiwan. Should Moscow achieve its objectives, Xi Jinping, China’s dictator would follow Putin’s example and act, knowing full well that the Biden administration would pay lip service to the violation of Taiwanese sovereignty, and perhaps demand UN sanctions, but ultimately, Washington would live with the new...

Twitter has suspended or locked the accounts of at least 15 users who were tracking Russian military movements on the platform. The accounts are part of a relatively new form of journalism that uses the internet to gather images and video (also known as open-source intelligence, or OSINT) in an effort to track and report on violent conflicts. Many of these accounts have been tracking Russian military movements — information that the Russian military might have found problematic if they launched an attack.
