Once again the Nobel Committee has delivered a slap in the face of real achievement.
The completely discredited Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for her "tireless work" pushing democracy against Maduro's grip.
Sure, she's battled for rights in a tough spot, but come on—this is peak hypocrisy, snubbing Donald Trump the day after he nailed a Gaza ceasefire that ends two years of hell.
As an American who voted for Trump's promise to kill off these endless wars, I'm livid. The Nobel Committee, has reduced its once-prestigious platform to a complete joke, a humiliating sideshow that favours feel-good narratives over flat-out results.
They’ve scorching Trump's Gaza masterstroke because he doesn't fit the woke script—a brash white bloke from Queens who deals in facts, not fairy tales. It has failed to honour the man who silenced the guns in favour of woman from the Global South fitting the "diversity is merit" playbook to a tee.
The Nobel Peace Prize is now a punchline for pandering to identity politics while ignoring lives saved.
Trump's 20-step plan didn't just happen. He put it together with a quick swing through the Middle East and a smart huddle at the UN that got enemies talking, skipping the usual UN nonsense of endless meetings that go nowhere.
Trump said it plain: The stars aligned because he pushed hard, using American clout to twist arms instead of wasting time on paperwork. Compare that to Biden's two years of nothing—stuck in neutral while innocents died.

Trump's way built on his old deals that brought Arabs and Israelis together, and now this truce has aid trucks rolling in without holdups. It's proof one straight-shooter can do what years of UN hot air couldn't.
Back in 2009, the Nobel Committee handed Obama the Peace Prize after just months in the job, all because he fit a "diversity is merit" mould—a black guy with smooth words who symbolised change. But what did he change? Trump nails it: zilch.
Obama’s big speeches stirred up trouble, and his Iran giveaway just funded more terror outfits like Hamas.
Trump has pieced families back together with this deal, and even Netanyahu's crew is saying he deserves a real nod for it. But the Nobel Committee are unconvinced.

| REUTERSTrump's blunt style got stubborn groups to buy in, with their own people admitting on TV the plan made sense. That's miles from Obama's pathetic group hugs that left everyone more imperiled.
Trump's guys built support from Gulf states to Turkey, showing raw drive beats polite stalling every time. With lawmakers cheering and big sign-offs coming, it spotlights how you Nobel types hate outsiders who count bodies saved over fitting your "diverse" script—your rules are just excuses for snubbing winners.
But the Nobel Committee would rather crown someone for looking the part than doing the work. They boosted a talker who made things worse; and now ignore a do-er whose bold moves and team of fixers actually save lives. It's pathetic.
With the Middle East breathing easier and hostages likely heading home next week, the committee should hang its heads in shame for bypassing the man who made it happened.
While the nominations officially closed in January, Trump’s miracle yesterday warranted a timely intervention.
The global elitists are obsessed with virtue-signalling — they have one more chance to do the decent and responsible thing and make it right, but the world will have to wait an entire year.
