The Nobel Peace Prize became a joke many years ago when it went from being an honor bestowed upon people making a difference in the world to a popularity contest for underachievers.
Do you think Greta Thunberg deserves a Nobel Prize? Yes - this honor is now a joke since Obama won it - give it to her. No - she doesn't deserve it at all. Your email By voting, you agree to receive email communication from The Political Insider. Click HERE for more information. Vote

I guess if a ‘peace prize’ should be awarded to somebody who unnecessarily incites panic and fear about the world ending, then Thunberg is your gal.
But we’re not sure how ‘peace’ meshes exactly with someone who threatened to put world leaders “up against the wall” if they don’t bow to her will.
Even those who nominated Thunberg saying she “worked hard to make politicians open their eyes” is a ridiculous assertion.
The teenager does not reach out to those who might not hold the same views on climate change. She recently indicated she “wouldn’t have wasted my time” when asked what might have been discussed in a conversation with President Trump.
Thunberg has also been challenged to a debate on climate change by a fellow teenager, conservative CJ Pearson, and has thus far refused.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-04--Liberals Slam Rush Limbaugh After He Reveals He Has Advanced Lung Cancer

Yesterday , we reported that the legendary conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh had revealed on his show that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer .
While the news was met with a wave of support for Limbaugh from conservatives , liberals showed how classless they really are by celebrating the diagnosis as if it was a positive thing .
Former CNN host Reza Aslan took to Twitter to say , “ Ask yourself this simple question : is the world a better place or a worse place with Rush Limbaugh in it ?
” Comedian Nick Jack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so sorry for lung cancer , no one deserves Rush Limbaugh .
I wish him the best medical care he ’ s worked on denying to others.
” Comedian Nick Ciarelli seemed like he was going to go a different route than his fellow liberals , but the first part of his tweet ended up being a red herring .
“ Seeing a lot of tasteless tweets about Rush Limbaugh .
No one should have to suffer through lung cancer .
Wishing him a speedy recovery and that he uses his vast influence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( I am saying all of this as I put a pillow over his face ) .
” When CNN ’ s Brian Stelter posted about the diagnosis to his Twitter account , liberals celebrated in their responses to him : Thankfully , director and producer Robby Starbuck stepped in to defend Limbaugh from the abuse .
“ The responses to this tweet illustrate the pure evil lurking on the far left right now , ” he wrote .
“ If you disagree with them , many of them literally not only want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your suffering .
Really vile .
Send up lots of prayers for Rush Limbaugh to counteract this evil.
” Starbuck hits the nail on the head with this tweet .
Democrats and the mainstream media have vilified conservatives so much that radical liberals don ’ t only want us dead , they gleefully celebrate when they see someone on the right suffering .

Yesterday, we reported that the legendary conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh had revealed on his show that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. While the news was met with a wave of support for Limbaugh from conservatives, liberals showed how classless they really are by celebrating the diagnosis as if it was a positive thing.
Former CNN host Reza Aslan took to Twitter to say, “Ask yourself this simple question: is the world a better place or a worse place with Rush Limbaugh in it?”

Comedian Nick Jack Pappas tweeted, “I’m so sorry for lung cancer, no one deserves Rush Limbaugh. I wish him the best medical care he’s worked on denying to others.”

Comedian Nick Ciarelli seemed like he was going to go a different route than his fellow liberals, but the first part of his tweet ended up being a red herring.
“Seeing a lot of tasteless tweets about Rush Limbaugh. No one should have to suffer through lung cancer. Wishing him a speedy recovery and that he uses his vast influence to promote affordable health coverage for everyone (I am saying all of this as I put a pillow over his face).”

When CNN’s Brian Stelter posted about the diagnosis to his Twitter account, liberals celebrated in their responses to him:
He, literally, has encouraged rightwing politicians to harm people, deprive healthcare, imprison innocent children and let people die. Lives will be saved when he is gone. — Tom (@tgordonvideo) February 3, 2020
Christmas in February! And it’s his own fault for smoking all those cigars. He will suffer, terribly. I am as happy as a person can be! — This Is The Water (@Genuflectional) February 3, 2020
Couldn’t have happened to a better person. I guess since he is a cancer to society, life is imitating art here. — RNR (@rnr725) February 3, 2020

Hope it’s untreatable and morphine is withheld. — Mary Nafius (@mary_nafius) February 3, 2020
Thankfully, director and producer Robby Starbuck stepped in to defend Limbaugh from the abuse.
“The responses to this tweet illustrate the pure evil lurking on the far left right now,” he wrote. “If you disagree with them, many of them literally not only want you dead, they’ll celebrate your suffering. Really vile. Send up lots of prayers for Rush Limbaugh to counteract this evil.”

Starbuck hits the nail on the head with this tweet. Democrats and the mainstream media have vilified conservatives so much that radical liberals don’t only want us dead, they gleefully celebrate when they see someone on the right suffering.
Remember this next time someone says that the current divide in our country was caused by President Donald Trump, which is blatantly false. Instead, the divide was caused by so-called “tolerant” leftists who can’t deal with anyone who disagrees with them.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-04--Manchin and Murkowski Solid for President in Senate Impeachment Vote

Less than two days before the historic impeachment vote in the U.S. Senate , two senators who were thought to be swing votes , Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska , announced they could not vote to remove the president from office .
Thus , they will vote for the president and no on the charges .
Most analysts had predicted the GOP ’ s Murkowski would hold the line .
But Manchin was more of an educated guess .
LifeZette called it .
However , others thought Manchin would not defy his Senate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doomed cause waiver to help him in his home state or he ’ s planning a jump to the GOP .
Either is possible and the party switch would not hurt him in deep red conservative West Virginia .
Murkowski ’ s independent libertarian-trending Alaskans probably just want the whole show over with and will have no problem with her vote .
The only remaining possible holdouts are Collins , Jones , Tester , and Romney .
Republican Susan Collins of Maine may vote guilty on one or both counts because she knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least one guilty vote could help her in blue-leaning Maine .
She could have received the done deal waiver from McConnell .
The Left may also consider an anti-Trump vote a thrown bone because of her yes vote for Brett Kavanaugh .
Democrat Doug Jones of Alabama is in a hard place .
He ’ s likely to lose this year no mater how he votes on impeachment , as he won in a fluke in 2017 .
However , even the slightest hope would be gone if he votes against the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pray the Democrats take care of him after he leaves office or does he vote with the president and hope GOP infighting once again gives him an upset victory ?
Democrat Jon Tester of Montana was once considered a possible vote for the president on impeachment .
But smart money now says he will vote with his party .
But there ’ s a small chance he bucks them , which would help him in deep red Montana .
Hates the president but loves his GOP Senate seat from conservative Utah .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ intense for him to hold up the GOP shield wall .
Could vote with the president on one count and against on the other .
Our call is that he sticks with the GOP on both counts .

“Democrats are stewing in a caucus mess of their own creation with the sloppiest train wreck in history. It would be natural for people to doubt the fairness of the process. And these are the people who want to run our entire health care system?”

Even Dems piled on.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson said of the young mayor, “Did Pete Buttigieg just claim victory in Iowa when the results haven’t been announced yet?”
Also this guy.
Former 2020 Democratic primary candidate Julian Castro tweeted: “This is a total mess. I respect the people of Iowa, they’ve been great—but it’s become very clear that our democracy has been misserved by a broken system.”

Eight registered sex offenders have been released from jail in Monroe County , New York , following an order from Governor Andrew Cuomo calling for 1,100 parole violators across the state to be freed due to concerns over the coronavirus .
