In an almost unheard-of departure from his normal weekend routine, President Donald Trump will leave his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, to return to the White House today, Saturday, for a third top-secret meeting in the Situation Room with his national security team.
If he wanted a Nobel Peace Prize, he should a) convince Israel to stop attacking its neighbors, Gaza and Iran, b) get Russia to stop attacking Ukraine, and c) stop lying all the time. He might stand a chance then, but now, NO. Added at 7:39 PST: We're done here. No Peace Prize ever for t.
Well, Kissinger got one for . . . You know, bringing the Vietnam war to a negotiated conclusion at Paris peace talks that Nixon had blown up in 1968 or carpet bombing Cambodia or . . . Surely there was some reason or another.
He may have gotten a Nobel, but we all know he was a war criminal. But who's seriously going to nominate t? p or n? I don't see the Nobel committee doing anything besides throwing the nomination in the trash.
The morning Kissinger died I got a mug of hot coffee, propped myself up in bed, and called my old school buddy of 73 years (yep, since we were 6 years old) and told her the news. We spent the morning reading headlines to each other. My favorite - Henry Kissinger, Dead 100 Years Too Late. I try to feel ashamed of myself. Sometimes.
Well, since he never ever actually tried to encourage peace with either Bibi or Vlad-- that would require way too much thinking about how to speak with others on a subject which wasn't about him--I don't see how he even thought he had a chance to win anything other than a loser award. Although for the biggest loser award (not about weight loss!) he certainly is the foremost candidate.
This is so sick and insult to anyone who ever earned their commission.
Thom Hartmann 6/21/25
"— Astonishing: Give Trump a million dollars and you get to become an Army officer, complete with uniform and everybody must salute you! You, too, can play warrior if you’re a large enough Trump donor! Hegseth’s Army just rolled out a new program called “Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps” that says its goal is to “fuse cutting-edge tech expertise with military innovation.” That bullshit-speak for “we’re going to give tech billionaire Trump donors an officer’s commission and a uniform.” So far four tech moguls have jumped at the opportunity to strut around in uniform with Lieutenant Colonel’s silver oak leaves on their shoulders, forcing enlisted and inferior officers to snap to attention and salute them, and every one of their companies have shoveled at least a million into one of Trump’s slush funds. This is Kristi Noem-level corruption and cosplaying, funded with your tax dollars.
What bugs Taco Don the most, what sticks like crazy glue in his craw, is that he doesn't have and won't ever get a Nobel Peace Prize and President Obama did. He cannot abide the thought. People of color have gotten the Peace Prize, but he hasn't and won't. Women have gotten the Peace Prize, but he hasn't and won't. This really gripes what he calls his soul. Note the resentment. He can't stand to have anyone outshine him in any way.
However, the committee in Norway that awards the Peace Prize gets laughs from any nomination of him, so there is that.
I remain convinced, at least for the moment, that all this flying of bombers is for show and not for real. Taco Don for all his bluster and bravado is all sizzle and no steak. He's not Trump Always Chickens Out Don for no reason.
But if Putin doesn’t want him to do anything, he won’t do anything. Putin does not care for Israel and his criticized Israel’s actions against her Ron.
Thom Hartmann also wrote about Trump's calls to Putin in relation to bombing the nuke sites, since Russian oligarchs have contracts for billions to build nuclear facilities in Iran, which I thought was a very interesting angle
No, I wouldn't be so sure if I were Iran. But I am also not so sure given the volatility, avarice, distemper, and downright stupidity of Taco Don, either. I'm just going, at least for the time being, on his history of chickening out. As far as Saudi influence is concerned, how big a bribe did they give Taco Don? That will tell the story.
There is no peace between DRC and Rwanda. Trump had nothing to do with India and Pakistan. The US did not finance the Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia, which only seasonally interrupts the flow of the Nile to Sudan and Egypt anyway, and he couldn’t find Kosovo on the map to save his life. Someone was saying Tubby should get the gold in the Stupidity Olympics, and now it seems the organizers are going to have to mint a bigger medal.
Thanks John; this truth telling needs to be instantly pointed out by the folks who institute these websites— just quoting his lies over and over again between quotation marks and walking away without comment just works to his benefit!
The saga of the Grand Rennaissance Dam in Ethiopia is a complex one that Tubby, as usual, managed to reduce to one simple thing — “What’s in it for me ?”
Museveni in Uganda and Kagame in Rwanda, who are what Trump aspires to be (ruthless and very smart; poor Tubby only got the first part), are having a good laugh about “peace" between DRC and Rwanda.
BTW, if the world somehow survives another century, Gerard Prunier’s book, Africa's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe, will still be read. A profound work.
So…so disturbing! Even more so that the Felonious Peacemaker was practically in my air space! No wonder the air quality went from “good to poor” early this morning.
All deployments and movements of U.S. forces point to war in about 2 weeks. 12 of 19 B-2 stealth bombers are now deployed or enroute, 3 of 11 Carrier Strike Groups (Vinson, Nimitz, and Ford) will be in theater in about 2 weeks. Vinson already there, Nimitz now in the eastern Indian Ocean and Ford deploying from Norfolk this week. Currently there are one guided missile cruiser and 11 Arleigh Burke class DDGs in theater with 8 more Burke’s enroute with Nimitz and Ford. There are also an unknown number of attack submarines (SSNs) which are equipped cruise missiles, and Guided Missile submarines (SSGNs) which were Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarines, but converted to fire cruise missiles and carry SEAL detachments that are most likely on station or enroute. Each carrier strike group usually has a SSN attached to it. The George Washington CSG is now the lone CSG facing China. Scores of USAF F-22 Raptors, F-15s, F-16s, refueling and transport aircraft are now in theater. Reagan, Stennis, and Eisenhower are in the yards undergoing various types of overhaul, while Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Truman are relatively recently returned from deployment. George Bush is conducting local operations off the Virginia Capes having completed a planned incremental availability overhaul in November 2024.
This all points to war within 2 weeks. I say that because of the time it will take Nimitz and Ford to get on station.
Thank you General. I strive to get things right having spent nearly 40 years in the Army and Navy, and as a retired Assistant Professor at the Joint Forces Staff College.
So much is riding on this and it won’t end well. This is perhaps the most incompetent national security team ever assembled. Bush was served by people who were far more competent and experienced in the region and look how badly Iraq went. Anyway, thank you again. Here is the link to my full article from last night. https://dundas.substack.com/p/the-war-begins-and-disaster-looms
Thank you, doctor, for furnishing us that clinical evidence about the patient, in the form of his "tweet." About the hostilities between Congo and Rwanda "their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars," the last clause clearly shows an intelligence quotient in the single digits. And then there is the patient's repeated complaint, "I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize." In consultation with doctors Garcia, Shabazz, Goldstein, Zhang and the Ukrainian genius, Melnyk, we agree that it is a cry, "I won't ever have a big, satisfying penis."
Fortunately, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee only gives the Nobel to meritorious people and organizations, not TACO’s. Also, I don’t think Trump knows how to fill out forms. Furthermore, individuals and groups need to be nominated according to Nobel Committee procedures. Who in the world would nominate the guy. You guessed it, DJT.
The U.S. needs a situation room to strategize on what to do about the idiots in the situation room.
With the whining child at the head of the table.
Ain’t that the truth!
Didn't Dubya teach us the word is actually "strategerize"?
My expertise on Word Saladese is not great.
BRAVO, Charles!

Nominations are cheap. I believe someone nominated rancid Rush Limbaugh.
One can hope.
Kissinger, another POS whose demise I wanted after the Nam War but NO. That bastard lived to be 100 and only died last year!
The morning Kissinger died I got a mug of hot coffee, propped myself up in bed, and called my old school buddy of 73 years (yep, since we were 6 years old) and told her the news. We spent the morning reading headlines to each other. My favorite - Henry Kissinger, Dead 100 Years Too Late. I try to feel ashamed of myself. Sometimes.
I love that story!! I don’t even try to feel ashamed. Everything this regime has done and is doing shames us all.
TRUTH!!! (Shames AND infuriates!)
I hope this doesn’t mean that Dumbass will live until he’s 110.
Only the gods know…hope they’re all female.
I’m betting that if he even thought about doing all of the above he would spontaneously combust.
Well, since he never ever actually tried to encourage peace with either Bibi or Vlad-- that would require way too much thinking about how to speak with others on a subject which wasn't about him--I don't see how he even thought he had a chance to win anything other than a loser award.

How do rich AI execs become Lt. Colonels while poor veterans and their widows lose their benefits? Follow the money!

😡😡😡😡😩😤
Only an alcohol infused idiot like Hogbreth could have possibly come up with such a dimwitted, stupid UNCONSTITUTIONAL brain belch.
At least no Mrs. Hegseth got beaten up.
And his master liked it.
This should be a MSM Story, alas they work for the Dark Side.

Especially a black man named Obama, which is probably his sole motivation; the pathetically petty piece of shit.
I hope you are right. This is all pretty terrifying.
But if Putin doesn’t want him to do anything, he won’t do anything. Putin does not care for Israel and his criticized Israel’s actions against her Ron.
I have no doubt you are correct, sir. As Speaker Emerita Pelosi said, with Taco Don, all roads lead to Putin.
Thom Hartmann also wrote about Trump's calls to Putin in relation to bombing the nuke sites, since Russian oligarchs have contracts for billions to build nuclear facilities in Iran, which I thought was a very interesting angle
'Like' is not strong enough! You nailed it!!!
No, I wouldn't be so sure if I were Iran. But I am also not so sure given the volatility, avarice, distemper, and downright stupidity of Taco Don, either. I'm just going, at least for the time being, on his history of chickening out. As far as Saudi influence is concerned, how big a bribe did they give Taco Don? That will tell the story.
Yes, it would most definitely be just like him.

I guess he wanted another hotel or two in Egypt.

PS Aristotle was not Belgian.
Lucian, that motherfucker JUST BOMBED IRAN!!
He’s never ever going to get a fucking Nobel Peace Prize. Never.
A pitiful little boy resides in that quivering hulk of protoplasm!
We're dealing with a very, very sick man.
Nah-- don't insult genuinely sick people. He is a vicious, sadistic, absolutely EVIL MONSTER!
Yes, true, but one that is now totally unhinged.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
What a pathetic twit this sad little man is.
So…so disturbing! Even more so that the Felonious Peacemaker was practically in my air space! No wonder the air quality went from “good to poor” early this morning.
Lucian,
Part of my analysis which is coming tonight:
All deployments and movements of U.S. forces point to war in about 2 weeks. 12 of 19 B-2 stealth bombers are now deployed or enroute, 3 of 11 Carrier Strike Groups (Vinson, Nimitz, and Ford) will be in theater in about 2 weeks. Vinson already there, Nimitz now in the eastern Indian Ocean and Ford deploying from Norfolk this week. Currently there are one guided missile cruiser and 11 Arleigh Burke class DDGs in theater with 8 more Burke’s enroute with Nimitz and Ford. There are also an unknown number of attack submarines (SSNs) which are equipped cruise missiles, and Guided Missile submarines (SSGNs) which were Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarines, but converted to fire cruise missiles and carry SEAL detachments that are most likely on station or enroute. Each carrier strike group usually has a SSN attached to it. The George Washington CSG is now the lone CSG facing China. Scores of USAF F-22 Raptors, F-15s, F-16s, refueling and transport aircraft are now in theater. Reagan, Stennis, and Eisenhower are in the yards undergoing various types of overhaul, while Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Truman are relatively recently returned from deployment. George Bush is conducting local operations off the Virginia Capes having completed a planned incremental availability overhaul in November 2024.
This all points to war within 2 weeks. I say that because of the time it will take Nimitz and Ford to get on station.
All the best, watch your six.

Yikes! The only hope is that two weeks is at least 14 days beyond Dear Leader’s attention span; he may well have forgotten Iran by then.
It would be just like TCF to select Independence Day 04.July as his D-Day.
Impressive correlation of forces, Steve! Well done!
Thank you General. I strive to get things right having spent nearly 40 years in the Army and Navy, and as a retired Assistant Professor at the Joint Forces Staff College.

No Nobel Peace Prize for
a convicted felon/34
counts! Not going to
happen.

I really love this comment.
If it is secret, you'll be able to catch up on any number of unsecured communications. Or just phone mrs. hegseth, or his mother.
Or Jeffrey Goldberg.
Does the 🌮 have ANY awareness of the wider world? Any? Everyday he gets more pathetic.
He doesn’t what to do but issue threats and then he chickens out. I believe what you say about the bunker bomb. I hope it is only another threat.
Fortunately, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee only gives the Nobel to meritorious people and organizations, not TACO’s. Also, I don’t think Trump knows how to fill out forms.
