Donald Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize

By Rich Kozlovich

There's been a lot of talk about Trump deserving the Nobel Peace Prize, and a lot of people have nominated him, a whole lot more have been insisting he deserves it, and he absolutely has performed way and above what most others have done who've received it, especially Barack Obama who was awarded it for being black.   Teddy Roosevelt got it for brokering a peace treaty between Japan and Russia.  Trump has orchestrated at least five peace treaties and/or cease fires.

But I thought this was really interesting, and will most assuredly drive those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome into fits of apoplexy.   Seventy thousand, that's a seven followed by four zeros, Cambodian Buddhist monks, broke their vow of silence to nominate him for the Prize.

If Trump is nominated and gets the prize it's my hope he tells them to shove it, taking the view "who wants honors from people such as these", and tells them this effort by these monks was prize enough.  

Trump Bombs Iran, and Exposes the Hypocrisy of the Democrats

By Rich Kozlovich 

Democrat hypocrisy is boundless, right along with Trump Derangement Syndrome.  The first thing they screamed when Trump bombed Iran was he violated the Constitution.  He didn't inform Congress, another lie, and he needs to be impeached for his actions.  Well, history and reality are rarely on their side, and once again we're finding they're suffering from a serious case of nitwittery.   Here are articles showing their hypocrisy and how many places in the world Democrats took military action without Congressional approval, and in one case Obama ignored the Congress when they refused to approve, and he did what he wanted anyway,.....and neither the media or the Democrats objected.   Let's get this right once and for all. Donald Trump isn't a Jimmy Carter. 

• Dems suddenly outraged over presidential war powers - Democrats in Washington are again talking impeachment. Politicians and pundits are expressing outrage over President Donald Trump attacking Iran without a prior authorization of Congress. It is the Claude Rains School of Constitutional Law where politicians are "shocked, shocked" that Trump is using the authority that they accepted in Democratic predecessors. Fourteen years ago this week, I was in court litigating that very issue when President Barack Obama attacked Libya. Most Democrats supported or were silent on the action.........Schumer insisted that "no president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy.
•  Democrats Call for Trump’s Impeachment Over Iran Bombing, Refuse to Explain Why They Previously Supported Clinton and Obama Doing Far Worse 

The outrage, lies, fear mongering, and hyperbole by Democrats, leftists and their catspaws in the media became intense, and then were made to look the fools they are.  The Diabolical Reactions to Donald Trump’s Courage - Donald Trump’s decision to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend have been greeted by the usual outrage of the mob plagued by Trump derangement syndrome........

• A Mad King’s Pointless War Is Where Donald Trump Was Always Heading There is no legal or moral justification for Trump's bomb strike on Iran, just the ego of an increasingly delusional president.
• Trump Wants To Take Out Iran’s Nuclear Program.  His Attacks May Backfire.  — The president is being unpredictable on Iran. Here’s how to think about what’s next.
• The Dangerous Consequences Of Donald Trump’s Strikes In Iran —Why even a successful attack might do less to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions than a diplomatic deal would have.
• Trump’s Reckless Iran Strikes Could Backfire Spectacularly - America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public.
• Jeffries Fumes At Trump For Blindsiding Congress On Iran Strikes — Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Monday flashed some fury with the Trump administration for sidelining Congress on its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities...........Jeffries notably did not weigh in on a measure to limit Trump's ability to carry out such attacks unilaterally and signaled that evidence the administration presents to Congress will be key...........
• Obama Bro Loses It Over Iran Strike —It's fair to say that Iran's leadership has had a difficult 24 hours. It's also fair to say that the former Barack Obama brain trust, including the ones who likely ran the White House for the last four years behind the scenes, haven't enjoyed them too much either.........
• CNN Declared Obama ‘War-Ending President Who Ordered Airstrikes’ on 7 Countries — ”He’s the war-ending President who, as of Tuesday, has ordered airstrikes in seven different countries (that we know of),” CNN declared in a Sept. 23, 2014 piece on how then-President Barack Obama ordered non-war airstrikes against six countries – without Congressional approval.
•  Did Trump Violate The Constitution By Bombing Iran? — President Donald Trump’s order to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities presents a new test of the Constitution and the extent of presidential powers to conduct war despite a lack of congressional approval.

Then out of nowhere Trump proclaimed..... the war is over.  

•  Trump Brokered Truce Agreement, WH Official Says —President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran on Monday in a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with Trump's team in contact with Iranian officials, a senior White House official said. The official, providing details of the ceasefire on condition of anonymity, said Israel agreed to the ceasefire so long as Iran does not launch fresh attacks.  Iran signaled it would abide by the agreement, the official said............
• The US Made A Series Of Calls To Israel While Qatar Helped Persuade Iran, Sources Tell CNN - President Donald Trump spoke with the Emir of Qatar today and told him that the US was able to get Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Iran, said a source familiar with the matter. Trump then asked Qatar to work on persuading Iran to also agree to a ceasefire, the source said. Vice President JD Vance then coordinated with the Qatari Prime Minister’s office on details. After speaking with the Qatari Prime Minister the Iranians agreed to the ceasefire proposal, the source said...........
• Nancy Pelosi Spits Bile at Trump After He Bombs Iranian Nuclear Sites – But Forgets What She Said When Obama Was Bombing Libya  - You just knew this was coming.Nancy Pelosi and Democrats are now attacking President Trump for destroying the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites........Nancy Pelosi led the charge......“Tonight, the President ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging our military without Congressional authorization. I join my colleagues in demanding answers from the Administration on this operation which endangers American lives and risks further escalation and dangerous destabilization of the region.”.............

Then there are the Republicans.  I've often wondered what goes on in Marjorie Taylor Greene's mind.  Over the years watching her actions I found her to be a real fighter, but at best an unreliable ally saying things I think are not an example of the brightest of minds, even unstable.  Now she's shot her mouth of one day too soon saying this bombing is “A Complete Bait and Switch”: Marjorie Taylor Greene Flips on Trump, Joins Thomas Massie in Iran Pushback, with Murkowski saying "questions remain",as Dan Rather used to intone. ‘

But is the war really over?  The trouble with dealing with Muslims is they never keep their agreements, and it's based on the Koran.   

• Hours After Trump Declares Ceasefire, Iran Denies Agreement, Blames Israel for Starting War - Just hours after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Tehran made it clear who they believe started this conflict, blaming Israel for launching the war, not the other way around. Iran insisted there is no official agreement on any ceasefire or halt to military actions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that if Israel does not cease its “illegal aggression” against Iran by 4 a.m. Tehran time, their response will continue. Iran said the final decision on stopping its military operations would be made later.......

But notice the caveat.   

"As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” Araghchi wrote. “However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards." 

They're lying and they did make an agreement for a ceasefire and then backed out because it made them look weak and defeated, which they are.  After 46 years of attacking Israel, America, and western civilization they've the nerve to blame Israel for "starting" this war.   This is just another effort by the current regime to remain in power, but their entire leadership has been decimated, and it seems clear the bombing will most likely continue, and a regime change from within is clearly the only resolution.   

There are two things that always rings true.  The Democrats hate the Constitution until it suits them, and tyrants like N. Korea, China, and Russia, all of whom violate international law "daily", will scream it's being violated by America when it suits them.  Well, that game isn't going to play well from now on since that's all propaganda, and the Pravda media can no longer control the narrative. Their hypocrisy and lies have caught up to them.  

Be Careful What You Wish For!

By Rich Kozlovich 

Editor's Note: This is an updated version of an article I published on June 20, 2023 which seems to be even more applicable now. RK

Going into the 2020 election the left, AKA, the Democrat party got what it wanted. Destroy the economy to get Trump.  Prior to this they came after the President with every lunatic claim they could muster to smear and destroy him, but his personal life was an open book, and a not such pretty one at that but everyone who voted for him knew it,  so that didn't work!  Then they tried impeachment, which some are still attempting to pull off, their impeachment claims fell like a ton of manure, and it fell right back on them, and as more information comes out, the manure is falling on a lot more people with the stench reaching very high levels of the Obama administration.

That left the economy.  Unfortunately for them, it was humming along so nicely they couldn't attack Trump on the economy without looking even more insane than before.   But then the nation faced one of the biggest political and scientific scams to hit the nation ever.  The coronavirus scam!  With this scientific fraud they managed to crush the economy and destroy a lot of lives, and waste trillions on their pet schemes, and create a system for voter fraud that would have never floated without the covid scam.  

But as the old saying goes - "be careful what you wish for!"  This all came back to haunt them, and Trump was elected again.

A Machiavellian principle.

Machiavelli's book "The Prince" made some amazingly simple, yet brilliant observations.  He showed the only thing the common people really want.  Security!  People want to be fed, housed, and furthermore, they want to feel secure in their ability to continue to be able to house and feed their families. Democrats have obviously worked hard to take that away from them, and the nation didn't feel secure at all, and that wasn't forgotten at election time.   How much more so will all this Democrat/leftist inspired, promoted, and funded violence impact both the 2026 midterm and the 2028 elections?

When the invertebrates in the Republican party ran McCain and Romney for the presidency, and conservatives stayed home in droves my conservative friends were aghast. I explained to them why.

It was clear these faux conservatives were taking the nation to exactly where the Democrat left was wanting to go, just a bit slower.  The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans was the Democrats wanted to take all your money, all your freedom, and control every aspect of you life, and do it right now.  The Republicans were willing to wait a week or two.  They were all undercover Rockefeller Republicans, just like Richard Nixon.

Conservatives had finally come to two conclusions.

1. They were no longer going to support the Republicans who were not truly conservative.
2. They felt the only way they could change the system was to allow the lunatic left to take over completely. That way the nation could see just how insane and corrupt they really are.

Now that’s happened, the Rockefeller Republicans, RINO's, Main Street Republicans, the Pravda media, and the those suffering from the Trump Derangement Syndrome are swirling the drain, and the alternative media along with MAGA base is in ascension.

There are some areas that will always have large segments of the population that will embrace leftist insanity, and there are states that are totally dominated by the left.  All these states are going to face the consequences of their own leftist dystopian policies.   They wasted trillions of dollars to offset this coronavirus fraud, and now they expect the federal government to bail them out of the unsustainable spending practices that have gone of for decades, like California's railway to nowhere where billions have been spent over these many years and not one mile of rail has been laid.  The federal government isn’t going to bail them out.  

Millions are migrating out of these states, along with many businesses, both small and large, in order to avoid total bankruptcy, all of which is destroying their tax base.  They had the right to do whatever they wanted regarding spending and taxation. The rest of the states have the right to expect them to face the consequences of their actions.

What's more, in five years the 2030 census will be conducted, they could potentially lose up to twenty five seats in the House of Representatives.  Which is why they're fighting so hard to prevent all these illegal migrants from being deported.  And that fight is being conducted through "spontaneous" acts of mass violence,  

It's Schadenfreude time, and in no way do I feel sorry for these people!

Year after year they looked down their noses at conservatives, constantly claiming conservatives were greedy, uncaring, selfish, racists and stupid. But they, the leftist, were pure of heart, righteous and brilliant. In short, they were far better morally and far smarter people with a clear understanding and vision as to how the world should function with all their virtue signaling.   Their problem isn't just their vision, it's the application of that vision, and while history has shown they're always sure, it's also shown they're rarely right. 

Now let them virtue signal themselves out of their mess.   Except for one thing. Those who've been in the forefront of all these leftist schemes are well off, and people with skills. They can afford to move to a state with conservative values and sound economic principles in place in order to avoid facing the consequences of their stupidity, leaving the least able to fend for themselves on their own.

Do I feel sorry for those left in these states who are unable to leave for various reasons? For the most part, No! When you talk to them about these issues they spout the same level of weirdness and low information ignorance as the rest, and they're just as arrogant in their ignorance as the rest.

Being ignorant is the norm, it just means we just don't know, and since there's just so much information about everything in the world, we're all in some state of ignorance. But that's fixable with learning. Stupid on the other hand is different. The stupid are the ignorant who refuse to learn.

Life is hard, but it’s really hard when your stupid, and stupid can’t be fixed. It can only be crushed.
