Trump badly wants a Nobel Peace Prize. Most on the committee oppose him. Wapo: President Donald Trump has long quested after a Nobel Peace Prize, a distinction that would put him in a vaunted and exclusive club. But unlike a U.S. presidential campaign, winning a Nobel Peace Prize depends on an electorate of five — and Trump may not have a majority.
Trump’s desire for a Nobel has been a through-current of both of his terms, but his effort has escalated in recent months. He has mused aloud that the peace deal in Ukraine that he worked on in recent weeks might be one key to the prize. But at least three of the five Norwegian deciders have criticized Trump publicly, making his path to winning their votes far from clear. -- nordy
AP: AP freelancer among 5 journalists killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital The Israel-Hamas war has been one of the bloodiest conflicts for media workers, with 189 journalists killed in Gaza in the 22-month conflict, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Comparatively, 18 journalists have been killed so far in Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to the CPJ. -- nordy
Because of Netanyahu I have learned to hate - not only him - but also the IDF. Israel deserves to be bombed back to the dark ages for the horrors they have inflicted on Palestinians. Then deserted as Chernobyl was. Susan
I hear you. I’d like to see all the perpetrators held accountable, and I’d like to see all the Israeli people who have protested the war given a homeland alongside the Palestinians. Anyone willing to share Jerusalem in solidarity with one another may be granted safe haven.
Two medical appointments today. One was a two-year follow-up on my small aortic aneurysm. No change over two years. And if it ever got big enough to justify surgery, I would be too old for surgery. So forget about it.
The other was an appointment with a specialist about why I'm sleeping 12 hours a day. To my mild surprise she thinks the possibility of sleep apnea is great enough to justify a sleep study -- scheduled for Wednesday. We'll see what comes out of tht.

They grant a Nobel to someone deserving and usually quite humble…DT is neither.

ReplyDeleteTrump on militarized cities: ‘A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator’
As the president suggests that “a lot” of people have voiced support for “a dictator,” it’s hard not to wonder who, exactly, he was referring to.
Remove this arse IMMEDIATELY!!

Good luck on Wednesday.
DeleteNice to think you won't need to be concerned about aorta surgery.
The last 3 weeks I've averaged 6 to 6.2 hours of sleep per night.
Too bad we can't split the difference!
Too bad indeed!
