Oops, seems you got up on the wrong side of the bed. His choice of words shows absolute disrespect and arrogance. Begging - almost demanding several times that he should become this honour and he can't even say a "Thank you Mrs. María Corina Machado "?

Emm, it's correct that Alfred Nobel died in 1896. He held only 355 patents during his life and spoke fluent six languages. We all here will never achieve what he has. Youre statement is a joke. Sad - so sad.

He wasn't even able to mention her Name. Poor and sad. So sad... Just to remind. María Corina Machado

He threatens war in the US. Venezuela is only a distraction.

Do you have some facts about this? Nope. Europe has struggled for sure. But the industry is much more diversified in comparence to the US. Europe going into a full blown recession. What a joke after the orange is destroying your economy...

Machado has gone into hiding. She makes unannounced appearances in Venezuela, for example, giving a speech from the back of a delivery truck and then fleeing on a motorcycle. "I'm where I feel most useful to the struggle in Venezuela," Machado said in September of last year. The engineer first became involved in Venezuelan politics in 2002 by calling for a referendum against the then-leftist President Hugo Chávez. Machado subsequently received death threats, and she sent her children to the United States. Wondering how safe her children are in the US. Hiding there from ICE agents maybe...

Hmm - FoxNews - enemy of the people...

And a brilliant speach too.

Trump is also among the top favorites among bookmakers – albeit behind candidates like Syrian peace activist Abir Haj Ibrahim and Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who died in Russian custody. The Sudanese aid organization Emergency Response Rooms, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Court of Justice are also ahead of him with the bookmakers.

In one and a half hours we will know. Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, said on Thursday that the decision had already been made on Monday – before Israel and Hamas had approved the US peace plan. Harpviken emphasized again that the decision was made free from political influence. However, "Alfred Nobel made it somewhat difficult for us by stipulating in his will that the appointment had to be made by parliament. Unfortunately, that is non-negotiable," he said.

Arild Hermstad, leader of the Norwegian Green Party, said: "Peace awards are earned through sustained commitment, not through social media tantrums or intimidation." He added that it was good that Trump supported the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. "Any step toward ending the suffering in Gaza is welcome. But a belated contribution does not undo years of violence and division." Trump himself and his entourage are campaigning heavily for the Republican to receive the coveted award this year. "Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize," Trump said in his speech to the UN General Assembly in September.

Norway can handle this with a chuckle and a wide grin. I guess the wealthiest country in Europe. They are doing great with oil and gas.

Don't freak out now... Just pulling your leg a bit.

I don't eat dogs or cats. But I just read about a 72 year old horse butcher, who (of course) eats horse. But he doesen't eat chicken. "I personally enjoy eating horse meat," however, he no longer eats chicken. "I don't want an animal that's only been in the world for 40 days just so we can eat it." Somehow logical. Maybe you have to overthink this and try dog in Vietnam 😋?

Historically, human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world. In the 21st century, dog meat is consumed to a limited extent in Cambodia, China, parts of Northeastern India, Indonesia, Ghana, Laos, Nigeria, South Korea, Switzerland, and Vietnam. In these areas, the legality of dog meat consumption varies with some nations permitting it or lacking a nationwide ban. It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs were eaten each year by humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat

No serious vote possible, as this decision is made in Norway.

A mostly Republican group of leaders past and present on Wednesday accused President Trump of using "the power of law enforcement" to go after Americans he has a "personal animus" against. ... What they're saying "Whenever one believes politicization of justice started, there's no question that it has entered a new and disturbing chapter. It must end now," per the statement that's signed by George W. Bush-era DOJ leader Peter Keisler and Donald Ayer, who served as deputy attorney general in the George H.W. Bush administration, among others. "These abuses of power threaten the safety and rights of every American, as well as the stability of our economy," adds the statement that's also from former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (R) and ex-Massachusetts Gov. William Weld (R). ... Context: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who led Trump's first impeachment inquiry, is reportedly under DOJ review following an alleged mortgage fraud referral. New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) also faces potential prosecution for supposed mortgage fraud, after her $465 million civil fraud case against Trump, which was later tossed out on appeal. The president has also flagged ex-FBI Director Christopher Wray, former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton and Democratic donor George Soros as potential targets. ...

I don't call Snickers & co "chocolate". I do like chocolate. But then dark with more cocoa with higher flavanol. Or cocoa powder with hot milk and honey. Is of course also sugar. But better than a snickers for sure.

Here’s the geopolitical beans:

Your argument has nothing to do that prices in the US haven't fallen. But trump will fix it - just stick to his lies and follow him blindfolded. Hail the orange messiah.

Sending US Military in democratic cities (only!) and saying he would consider using the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard shows the path that will come. "Domestic terrorists" is used now daily by the trump admin. And however voters once will decide - Magastanies will call the troops to keep Trump in office. Stalin, Putin, Hitler and others have shown how it works. Good night USA - but you wanted to have it this way. Same as the russians you will once wake up and find out, that it's suddenly not so funny anymore.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of working behind the scenes to block a bipartisan bill that would force the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In a tweet, Massie said Johnson has delayed the swearing-in of the newest member of Congress, Democrat Adelita Grijalva of Arizona (who would be the final signature needed), and spread misinformation about the legislation to prevent a vote, contradicting Johnson’s recent public statements favoring “maximum disclosure.” The Kentucky Republican has led the push for a discharge petition to bring the Epstein disclosure bill to the floor, a move Johnson has so far resisted despite mounting bipartisan support.

ICE Barbie Moans About Agents’ Lunch Options in Chicago Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is tough on immigration—but apparently soft on lunchtime. During a Sunday morning appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend, Noem agonized over the not-so-warm welcome ICE agents are receiving in Chicago. Referring to the city as a “war zone,” Noem claimed residents are intimidating the armed, sometimes masked, and largely unwanted federal officers. “In fact, they don’t even let our ICE officers and our border patrol officers use restrooms and facilities,” she lamented. “Those men and women were telling us that they have to figure out even where they can go sit down for five minutes to have lunch or to use the restroom throughout their shift or their break.” While war zones aren’t exactly known for safe and secure public restrooms, Noem may have been projecting from her own experience in the Windy City on Saturday, where she was met with a barrage of anti-ICE protesters and denied entry to a government building where she’d tried to use the bathroom. Noem also fired shots at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker—both Democrats—on Sunday, alleging their condemnation of Trump’s immigration crackdown has fostered resentment toward federal agents. “His city is a war zone and he’s lying so that criminals can go in there and destroy people’s lives,” Noem said of Johnson. “Those individuals that live there are waking up to it, they under[stand] that where we have gone, we have made it much more free, people are much safer.” Chicago, the country’s third-largest city, has become the latest flashpoint in Trump’s migrant crackdown. Both Johnson and Pritzker have sharply condemned the federal raids, as thousands of residents have taken to the streets in protest. During an appearance on State of the Union Sunday morning, Pritzker said Noem “doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” “People are booing her on the street,” he told host Jake Tapper. “[ICE is] raiding neighborhoods where instead of going after the bad guys, they’re just picking up people who are brown and Black, then checking their credentials… I don’t know about you, but I don’t carry around papers that say I’m a U.S. citizen.”
