A new report from Spain claims President Trump is in the running for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
The US president was nominated by Japanese Prime Minister Abe for his work on the North Korean nuclear threat.
ABC International, a Spanish national daily newspaper, reported (translated):
by P.J. Gladnick, Newsbusters:
Your honor, we acknowledge that our client, Jussie Smollett, faked his supposed hate crime but he just couldn’t help it because he suffered from extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome.
We respectively request that the civil suit against Nathan Phillips for lying about the Covington Catholic High School students be dropped due to the fact that he was acting under the influence of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:
This is outrageous….. and if true must be severely punished.
Chicago (CNN) Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation tell CNN that Chicago Police believe actor Jussie Smollet paid two men to orchestrate an assault on him that he reported late last month.
Smollet’s attorneys claim “he had no role in this attack.” Of course there’s no consequence if they either know or should have known they’re lying — this isn’t a courtroom and thus perjury does not apply.

Big League Politics contributor and conservative activist Laura Loomer is planning to protest big tech censorship of right wing personalities and ideas online by holding a physical protest at Twitter’s New York City headquarters, and by organizing a 48 hour social media blackout.
“Every single day, conservatives on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are being shut down, silenced, and completely de-platformed and demonetized simply because they support President Donald Trump,” Loomer said in a video invite to participate in her protests.

America’s most infamous rogue software developer has thrown his hat into the Presidential ring once again, but this time he’s waging his campaign from offshore – as a fugitive from the US government.
Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi speaks to the intrepid John McAfee, as he slams US foreign policy for its proclivities towards regime change wars, and ridicules arguments that Trump is a Russian spy, and that Russians hacked Hillary Clinton’s emails. And he’s just getting warmed up. Watch:

Right up front, there are some things that I need to tell you about myself. I want you to know where I came from and how I got to where I am today. I don’t want to ever be accused of deception or dishonesty.
So, in full disclosure: I was not born a Constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of Liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me.
by Caitlin Johnstone, Caitlin Johnstone:
American Conservative has published an article titled “Why Are These Professional War Peddlers Still Around?“, an excerpt from a book by Fox’s Tucker Carlson, which documents neoconservative thought leaders Max Boot and Bill Kristol’s consistent track record of supporting spectacularly awful US war policies. Carlson goes over the many, many acts of military interventionism which have been pushed for by these two legendary failmeisters, documents what they predicted would happen as the result of that interventionism (freedom, democracy and prosperity) and what actually ended up happening instead (needless death, terrorism and chaos), and marvels at how they both somehow remain in positions of high esteem with high-profile, high-paying jobs.
from Watts Up With That:
Such gems as:
Communicating effectively about a topic like climate change that is complex, confusing, uncertain, sometimes overwhelming, and often emotionally and politically loaded, is challenging.
In order for people to become motivated and empowered to adopt the needed changes to reduce environmental threats, they must be able to interpret and respond to information. The impact of communications on behaviour varies dramatically based on how the communication is developed and delivered.
from Voice Of Europe:
Exclusive interview with a Yellow Vest in Paris by Swedish journalist and writer Katerina Janouch with Yellow Vest ‘Pierre’.
(Pierre is not his real name – and he wants to remain anonymous because he is worried about otherwise risking his job). He wants change in France, and he has participated in most of the protests that the Yellow Vests have arranged in Paris.
