The Norwegian Nobel Committee made it clear that while a laureate can physically give away the medal or other physical items, that does not make someone else a Nobel Peace Prize winner. The official title and recognition remain tied to the person the committee originally selected.

He has been obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize ever since one was awarded to President Obama. No matter how much he reverses policies and tears down his accomplishments, Barack H. Obama will always live rent-free in his head because he will always be more respected, admired, and accomplished.

“The interior department announced today new “America-first” entrance fees for national parks, commemorative annual passes featuring Donald Trump and “resident-only patriotic fee-free days for 2026” including Trump’s birthday.” So much wrong with this paragraph and many more nuggets in the article.

That disabled person you are judging? Chances are they are already doing far more than they “should”, to the detriment of their own health. Chances are they are acting “fine”, to make you feel more comfortable. Chances are they'll get home and struggle to function as a result.

Troops from the TX National Guard have arrived into Chicago but it isn’t clear which they are protecting: ICE agents or federal property. Nobody is menacing or attacking federal property. Why do ICE agents feel threatened by people yelling? Is the camouflage in an urban setting not working?
