Why the radical-left Nobel Committee passed over President Trump
Read Hanne’s The Herland Report.
Why does President Donald Trump wish to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize? The president knows that Norway is a hotbed for the radical Marxist left, with its people living behind an iron curtain of state controlled, Soviet style mainstream media that almost solely allows socialist-globalist perspectives to be heard. For decades, ruthless Norwegian Marxists have subdued, harassed, belittled and demonized the conservative voices in this oil-rich country.
Norway is a nation with a wealthy state due to its massive oil and gas revenues, but the Norwegian people are taxed to the brim, poverty rising, schools and hospitals neglected. We have the worst roads in Europe. I would know, I am Norwegian and have spent two decades as a conservative commentator and pundit in this toxic landscape.
No wonder Norway is a country that has almost the most negative views of President Trump in the world, according to a 2020 Pew Research poll. This is the result of the state-funded media’s endless negative reporting on the president, constantly slandering and demonizing. Under the disguise of peace prizes, “freedom” and “democracy,” Norway’s radical left has perfected the Marxist art of quenching free speech, holding its people hostage out of fear of being demonized, lied about, losing social status and job opportunities if they so much as wrote an op-ed in some paper that was critical of socialism or favorable to Trump. This is the woke, DEI country President Trump hopes to get a Nobel Peace Prize from? Norway would rather give the Peace Prize to the horse of a senator than the current president of the United States.
The radical left-wing Nobel Committee continually awards the Prize to human rights activists, members of marginalized groups or women no one ever heard of, constantly criticized for misusing it as a political tool to influence countries’ domestic policies. It does not matter that no living man has done more than President Trump in 2025 to end wars. In Norway’s neo-Marxist, anti-American climate, it also does not matter that the Alfred Nobel will clearly states that the Peace Prize is to be, “annually awarded to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses … advocates of peace, have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind, the most worthy shall receive the prize.” President Trump has been a defining force in ending the Israel and Iran war, the war in Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Cambodia and Thailand, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, Egypt and Ethiopia, Azerbaijan and Armenia and latest, Israel and Gaza.
According to Alfred Nobel, the members of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee should consist of five people, retired politicians from the Norwegian Parliament, to reflect political diversity. Yet, a closer look at the political views of its members demonstrates that it consists of four liberal-globalist-socialists and has only one conservative member. The chairman is a young man who is affiliated with the social-democratic left-wing Labor party, AP, Jorgen Watne Frydnes. He is joined by Gry Larsen, another radical left-winger from the same party, and Anne Enger, from a political party that has governed Norway in alliance with left-wing Labor the past decades.
Then, there is Kristin Clemet, from the so-called Conservative Party, Høyre, a political party that has not fronted conservative values for decades. The Conservative Party has under the leadership of globalist former Prime Minister Erna Solberg abandoned the conservative ideology altogether. They no longer speak about the needs of the nation state, decentralization of power, traditional values and Christianity; but hail atheist liberalism, hedonism, globalism and a communist-style centralization of power. The level of anti-Trump and anti-Americanism is so strong when the members meet for the national congress, that it sounds like a communist gathering. The only person on the Norwegian Nobel Committee that would be called conservative is its deputy leader, Asle Toje.
The politicized Nobel Peace Prize Committee is destroying its own brand to the point that even Alfred Nobel’s Swedish family have openly suggested that the Prize should be returned to Sweden due to the lack of respect for Nobel’s will. Michael Nobel says that Nobel’s will states that the prize should go to the greatest peacemakers who prevented most wars through global work for the disarmament of nations. Clearly, Norway is not willing to respect Alfred Nobel’s will and destroys his legacy by politicizing the Nobel Peace Prize.
With Trump, just ‘look where the ball lands’
When President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran deal in his first term, The New York Times predicted catastrophe. Its editorial board wrote: “When it comes to the danger of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, there is no sign Iran or any of the other major powers in the existing and so far successful pact will simply fall in line with Mr. Trump’s notional new plan. More likely, his decision, announced on Tuesday, will allow Iran to resume a robust nuclear program, sour relations with close European allies, erode America’s credibility, lay conditions for a possible wider war in the Middle East …”
But now, seven years later, Trump in his second term successfully negotiated with Hamas for the release of the remaining living hostages and the bodies of others kidnapped during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the taking of 250 others. The ceasefire, hopefully just the first step for a broader, more lasting peace, was agreed to by the leaders of Qatar and Turkey, where leaders of Hamas reportedly live. The leader of Egypt signed, and the Gulf states, as well as Iran, supported the deal. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin praised it.
As for former President Joe Biden, he praised Trump by name, while claiming Trump’s deal stood on the foundation of a plan constructed during his administration: “The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. … Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.”
This is a statement from Biden, whose catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan emboldened America’s enemies including Iran, the world’s leading exporter of terror and benefactor of Hamas. Trump said on many occasions that had he been in office, Oct. 7 “would never have happened.” There is good reason to agree with his assessment.
How did Trump pull this off? After all, Biden, his successor, racked up decades of foreign-policy experience. He spent 36 years in the Senate, with 12 years as the chair or ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
So, what happened? Simple. After Oct. 7, Trump battered Israel’s enemies – Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran. Gaza has been leveled. Iran’s nuclear program was bombed, with the sanctions Trump imposed on Iran causing high unemployment and 40% annual inflation. This is what forced Hamas to the table.
Finally, to Trump’s many detractors, look at it this way: Years ago, I watched two professional golfers being interviewed on the Golf Channel. The interviewer asked, “What makes a good golfer?”
One golfer said, “I look at how he grips the club; where he places his feet, how he positions his shoulders; if he’s right-handed, whether he keeps his left arm locked as he swings; if he keeps his eyes squarely on the ball as he swings so he doesn’t hook or shank; the movement of his hips; whether he swings smoothly without a hitch …” He proceeded to give several more precise mechanical details.
The other golfer said, “I look where the ball lands.”
When it comes to Trump, detractors look at his swing: the insults, the bragging, the swagger, the ego, his tweets, his cockiness, his demeanor, his flippancy and his various opinions on all manner of things that really don’t much matter. As the Trump-supporting Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., puts it, Trump does not have an “unexpressed thought.”
Supporters look where the ball lands: the economy; borders; eliminating DEI; SCOTUS judges; pro-life; foreign policy; school choice; combating urban crime; focused deportations; opposing biological men competing against biological women in sports, etc. And it looks like the man is having fun. It’s infectious. In the final analysis, isn’t this all that really matters? The rest of it is, pardon the expression, white noise.
Whom do you think the enemies of the United States fear more – a president who calls “climate change” the “ultimate threat to humanity,” or a president who renames the Department of Defense the Department of War?
Donald Trump, peace president
This week, I had the opportunity to visit the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, to hear President Donald Trump speak. Trump, who had just brokered a ceasefire deal involving the release of all 20 living Israeli hostages from Hamas – without a full Israeli withdrawal, and with a stated commitment by Hamas, backed by erstwhile allies like Qatar and Turkey, to disarm – was met with ecstatic applause. Calling out his Israeli counterpart, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump stated, “We’re not gonna go into a war, but if we do, we’re going to win that war like nobody has ever won a war before. We will not be politically correct. … I think, you know, as you mentioned, Bibi, before, ‘Peace through strength.’ And that’s what it’s all about.”
Indeed it is.
Critics of the Trump administration have claimed that President Joe Biden’s ceasefire plan from 2024 was similar to the ceasefire achieved by Trump. That’s absolutely untrue. Biden’s plan involved a pullback of Israeli forces from “all populated areas of Gaza,” in exchange for an unspecified number of living hostages; phase two would involve a complete end to hostilities, which would involve the release of the remaining hostages. The proposal did not include the disarmament of Hamas. Trump’s plan, by contrast, committed Hamas and its allies to return of all hostages, living and dead, in phase one; Israel would not be forced to withdraw from all populated areas (in fact, Israel currently continues to militarily control some 53% of the Gaza Strip); only after phase two, with the demilitarization and disarmament of Hamas, would Israel pull back fully from Gaza.
In short, Trump’s plans contained immediate deliverables – and those deliverables came in the form of Israeli hostages, who were returned to their families. Those deliverables were made possible not only because of Trump’s negotiating acumen but because between Biden’s proposal and Trump’s, the situation on the ground changed: Israel killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, and utterly decimated Hezbollah’s offensive capacity, including via the most highly targeted anti-terror attack of all time – the famed beeper operation; Israel’s destruction of Hezbollah capacities led indirectly to the collapse of the Syrian regime, which in turn made the Syrian border safer for Israel; Israel shattered Iran’s nuclear capacity, with the assist of Trump’s daring Operation Midnight Hammer; Israel performed continuing operations in Judea and Samaria to degrade Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s terrorist operations there; Israel made clear, by striking Hamas leadership inside Qatar, that it would target its enemies anywhere they were found. Much of that situational change between June 2024 and October 2025 was due to Netanyahu’s stalwart leadership and the extraordinary performance of the Israeli defense community.
But without Trump supporting the Israeli moves, it would have been difficult if not impossible to reach the end of the war in such victorious fashion. And that’s why Trump received a hero’s welcome in Israel.
Trump has always been a peace president, because the only way to achieve peace is strength. Geopolitics is an arena of force – and only the credible threat of its use can bring people to the table. The oft-repeated saw that peace cannot be won on the battlefield is just as false as it is hackneyed. Peace can only be won on the battlefield – because only through victory can the conditions for peace be achieved. A preliminary peace is no peace at all. It is merely a hudna, a way station on the road back to war and terrorism.
So, what comes next?
Given Hamas’ attempts to reconsolidate control of the areas of the Gaza Strip from which Israel has withdrawn, it is doubtful that phase two will ever come into play. Will Arab and Muslim nations supply a peacekeeping force to make the Strip quiescent and finally stop Hamas’ murderous reign? If not, how will an interim government ever take power? These questions remain open. But one thing is certain: The same strategy that brought home Israel’s hostages will be the only strategy that ensures eventual prosperity not just in Gaza but in Ukraine and in other hot spots around the globe. That strategy is Peace Through Strength. And there is no substitute for it.
National Guard: Legal and needed in Portland & Chicago
On Saturday night, Oct. 4, a federal district judge blocked President Trump from deploying the National Guard to restore order in Portland, Oregon, which is notorious for the Antifa riots there in 2020 that shut down much of the city. Portland is one of the most left-wing large cities in the United States, comprised overwhelmingly of white liberals.
Violent protesters in Portland, probably funded by radical groups from elsewhere, have spat at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, obstructed their vehicles and even started a fire outside of an ICE facility. More recently additional protesters against ICE have shown up naked as part of their bike ride, which locals defend as a longstanding Portland tradition.
On Oct. 8, the White House posted that “for years, an Antifa-led hellfire has turned Portland into a wasteland of firebombs, beatings, and brazen attacks on federal officers and property – yet the Fake News remains in shameful denial about the Radical Left’s reign of terror.”
President Trump has posted quotes from many in Portland about the violence they face and fear. “Yesterday morning, I was broken into again for the tenth time,” said one downtown Portland business owner. “We need help here and something needs to be done, so if [the National Guard] is what we need to do to get our leaders paying attention to what’s happening in Portland, then I think it’s a good thing.”
“Since early June, Antifa militants have laid siege to the ICE field office in south Portland,” the White House points out. “The terrorists have violently breached the facility by using a stop sign as a battering ram, hurled explosives and projectiles, burned American flags, viciously assaulted, attacked, and injured officers, doxxed officers, berated neighbors, and even rolled out a guillotine.”
In a recent op-ed for TheHill.com, renowned law professor Jonathan Turley decried Democrats who have responded by denying the existence of Antifa. “Antifa was first created in the 1920s, associated with the Weimar-era German communist group Antifaschistische Aktion,” Turley observes, and “it is very real.”
Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi declared that “Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa – destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We’re going to take them apart.”
At first the federal judge blocked President Trump from using the Oregon National Guard. No problem for Trump, as he then directed the California National Guard to restore order in Portland, but the judge issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against them, too.
In an expedited appeal to the 9th Circuit, where the Republicans comprise about 40% of that court, a fortunate draw of two Trump-appointed judges was randomly assigned to the three-judge panel for this case. Their questioning was critical of a district court judge preventing a president from restoring law and order.
Some of the Portland protesters “are violent people,” the Department of Justice attorney Eric McArthur informed the appellate judges. “The president is entitled to say enough is enough and bring in the National Guard to reinforce the regular forces,” he argued.
Ninth Circuit judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, both previously appointed by Trump, seemed to agree. Their questions emphasized that the president has broad authority to establish law and order.
“It just seems a little counterintuitive to me that the City of Portland can come in and say no, you need to do it differently,” commented Judge Nelson during the oral argument. He was unpersuaded by Oregon’s attorney, Stacy Chaffin, who argued that presidential deference “has a limit, and that limit is this case.”
Oregon’s attorney insisted that the rationale given by Trump for sending in the National Guard is “untethered to the facts,” as the district court judge had held. The only appellate panel judge likely to agree with that assessment is Susan Graber, a law school classmate of Bill and Hillary Clinton who was appointed by Bill to this court.
Meanwhile, a similar standoff between local officials and the Trump administration is occurring in Chicago. Its Mayor Brandon Johnson has only a 6.6% approval rating among Chicago voters, according to , while 79.9% disapprove of his performance.
As in Portland, a district court judge granted a request by Democrats to block Trump’s use of the National Guard to restore law and order in violence-ridden Chicago. But on an expedited appeal, the 7th Circuit has already ruled in favor of Trump by partly staying that injunction against him and allowing the troops to remain in northern Illinois.
The No Kings protest this Saturday is co-sponsored by MoveOn.org, which was founded in 1998 with funding from the flying toaster screen saver. Its original slogan in 1998 was “Censure President Clinton and move on to pressing issues facing the nation.”
‘The Death Star’: Social media unleashes merciless condemnation of Obama ‘library’
It’s been called a “trash can.”
Also, a “hulking grey monolith” and “a totalitarian command center dropped straight out of ‘1984,’” and “ugliest ever.”
One commenter said, “It would take someone who really, really hates themselves to build something like that.”
The presidential library for Barack Obama, which will hold digital versions of documents from his term, not the originals, is expected to come in with a total cost of under a billion dollars.
The concrete behemoth is located in Chicago, and in recent days has become the target of online trolling. MUCH online trolling.

‘Political games’: How the Senate voted on bill funding paychecks for troops

Jennessa Davey)On Thursday, the Senate failed to pass bipartisan legislation to fund the Department of War for the next fiscal year, putting military personnel and operations in jeopardy as the government continues to be shut down.
“If anything was needed to demonstrate just how fundamentally uninterested Democrats are in supporting our troops—and defending our country—just take a look at this vote,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said on the Senate floor after the vote.

With a final vote of 50 to 44, the measure did not meet the 60 votes needed for passage. Three Democrats voted with Republicans to pass the bill: Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., wrote on X, “Dems just voted against funding our military even though this was a bipartisan appropriations bill.”

Thune had said this week that it was in the Democrats’ best interest to back the troops by supporting the GOP legislative measure.
If Democrat senators “want to stop the Defense bill, I don’t think it’s very good optics for them,” Thune explained.
The legislation, titled the Department of Defense Appropriations Act 2026, provided federal dollars for military expenditures like personnel, operations, procurement, as well as research and development. The defense bill did not include expenditures for military family housing, military construction, or civil works projects by the Army Corps of Engineers. Still, the bill would be a crucial step for providing for the military as the current government shutdown threatens federal operations.
Thousands of federal workers deemed nonessential have been furloughed because of the government shutdown, which began on Oct. 1. Essential personnel, whether in the Department of War or elsewhere, still come into their workplaces. Federal employees will receive back pay once the shutdown ends. President Donald Trump has sought to pay military personnel despite the shutdown by redirecting $8 billion of unobligated research development testing and evaluation funds from the prior fiscal year.
Thune also expressed a wish that funding for the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education would be voted on as well, essentially bringing back miniature funding legislation.
“We would like to do a package. We’d like to do a mini, like we did before,” the Republican leader stated.
On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., responded to speculation about Democrat support for such an effort.
“Right now, the only thing that is on the floor is just the defense bill. Thune needs unanimous consent to add anything else to it. We don’t even know he’ll get that,” the New York senator said.
“It’s always been unacceptable to Democrats to do the defense bill without other bills that have so many things that are important to the American people, in terms of health care, in terms of housing, in terms of safety,” Schumer added.
Schumer then said, “So you all know, they need unanimous consent to add something to the defense bill. They don’t have it.”

Indictment: Former National Security Adviser John Bolton facing 18 counts
Then-National Security Adviser John Bolton in an interview Aug. 27, 2019, with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (video screenshot)Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted on Thursday.
A federal grand jury in Maryland indicted Bolton, who served during Trump’s first term from April 2018 to September 2019, on 18 counts related to his handling of classified information.
Documents with “confidential” and “secret” markings were found inside Bolton’s Washington, D.C. office during an Aug. 22 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid, including some with references to weapons of mass destruction, according to a September court filing. Federal agents searched Bolton’s Maryland home that same day but did not find classified materials at the location.
“These materials, many of which are documents that had been previously approved as part of a pre-publication review for Amb. Bolton’s book, were reviewed and closed years ago,” Bolton’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement to Politico in September.
Under former President Joe Biden, the Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped a probe in 2021 concerning potential illegal disclosure of classified information in his memoir. Trump’s DOJ opened the criminal probe and sued Bolton in an effort to block the book’s publication.
Bolton’s book, released in 2020, leveled “scathing” criticism at the Trump administration, characterizing Trump as being primarily concerned with reelection.
Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in September on two counts for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing a Congressional proceeding. Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Oct. 9 on allegations of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.

‘Loyal public servants’: Whistleblowers punished for exposing Hunter Biden protection scheme reach settlement
Two former FBI officials who were punished under the Biden administration for their efforts to expose a protection scheme for first son Hunter Biden now have reached settlements in their lawsuits.
Hunter Biden, of course, faced both gun and tax charge convictions, cases that could have left him behind bars for years.
Then his daddy gave him a get-out-of-jail free card through a presidential pardon that Joe Biden actually signed, unlike many of his pardons that were issued through autopen signatures.
The settlements were reach for former Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joe Ziegler who had charged illegal retaliation against them.
The settlements with the IRS and Justice Department (DOJ) “included significant compensation for damages and a requirement for new training for federal prosecutors to deter future whistleblower retaliation.”
They two issued a statement:
“We have been in the public eye because we did our duties as loyal public servants. We legally blew the whistle when Hunter Biden almost escaped prosecution for his crimes because he was the President’s son. We had to file a lawsuit against Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, because he falsely accused us of committing serious felonies in retaliation. Since then, Biden pled guilty to his crimes and has been pardoned. He also dropped his lawsuit against the IRS targeting us for our protected disclosures.
“We have recently concluded settlement agreements of our claims that the DOJ and IRS illegally retaliated against us for blowing the whistle on the improper politicization of that case.
“In addition to substantial compensation for the harm we suffered, the DOJ has agreed to use this example to train all federal prosecutors for years to come, so other brave civil servants are not victimized the way we were.
“Today, a federal judge announced that when Abbe Lowell published that we had committed a ‘clear-cut crime unprotected by any whistleblower statute’ and other similar allegations, he was merely speaking his opinion. Although the judge dismissed our defamation case, we disagree that Lowell’s attack was just his opinion and will consider whether to appeal.
“We think the record speaks for itself about what we did, who Biden is, and the value of Lowell’s so-called opinion.”
They had exposed, through protected disclosures, the “preferential treatment” given to the young Biden.
What followed was a “well-funded campaign to smear” them, they said.
The settlement was announced by Empower Oversight, a nonpartisan group that works to improve oversight of government wrongdoing.
