President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize – Twice

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize – Twice
September 9, 2020
President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
 
“I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, told Fox News in an exclusive interview after nominating Trump for the award. 
Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of Parliament and chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said in his letter nominating Trump the agreement could be a “game-changer” in the Middle East because other countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE. 
He also cited Trump’s key role in “creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.”
The letter also praised Trump for withdrawing large numbers of troops from the Middle East. Trump and the Pentagon plan to announce a reduction of U.S. troop levels in Iraq from 5,200 to about 3,500 Wednesday. The administration is also expected to announce the withdrawal of additional troops from Afghanistan in the coming days, a senior official said.
Tybring-Gjedde and another Norwegian official also nominated Trump in 2018 after his Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but the president did not win. 
He told Fox his nomination wasn’t about trying to gain favor with Trump and said he is not a big supporter of the president. “The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes,” he said. “The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump. For example, Barack Obama did nothing.”
Obama was awarded the prize in 2009 in a decision met with criticism from Trump, then a private citizen, and others worldwide.
Presidents Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson also received the Nobel Peace Prize. 
The recipient is decided by a five-person committee appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. The 2021 winner will not be announced until next October
UPDATE – President Trump Nominated for a Second Nobel Peace Prize
September 11, 2020
President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for a second time this week — this time for brokering a historic peace deal between Serbia and breakaway republic Kosovo.
In a Friday morning tweet, Magnus Jacobsson, a member of the Swedish Parliament, announced he was nominating the Trump administration and the two European nations for their “joint work for peace and economic development, through the cooperation agreement signed in the White House.”
“Trade and communications are important building blocks for peace,” Jacobsson wrote, sharing his letter to the Nobel Committee.

THE BACKHOE CHRONICLES – CHINESE VIRUS EDITION – Peter Feeman, National Committeeman, Florida — Copy

THE BACKHOE CHRONICLES – CHINESE VIRUS EDITION
Was(is) the lockdown “cure” worse that the virus itself?
The answer increasingly seems to be yes.
As novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “We’ve never before responded to a contagion by closing down whole countries.” The 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 70,000 and 116,000 Americans, between 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of the nation’s population. The 1968-70 Hong Kong flu killed about 100,000, 0.05 percent of the population.
The US coronavirus death toll of 186,000 is about 0.055 percent of the current population. It will go higher, but it’s about the same magnitude as those other two flus, and it has been less deadly to those under 65 than those flus were. Yet there were no statewide lockdowns; no massive school closings; no closings of office buildings and factories, restaurants and museums. No one considered shutting down the Woodstock. Music Festival in 1969 (lol).
What has happened to our country?
I fear we, as a nation, have become afraid of risk. Newsflash-life is risk, and all success in life involves overcoming fear and taking risks. That is why most of us have come to rely on a Higher Power to navigate life’s uncertainties, but certainly not reliance on the government.
Children aren’t allowed to walk to school; jungle gyms have vanished from playgrounds; college students are shielded from microaggressions! Another Newsflash–Life is a macro aggression!
The exaggerated projections of some epidemiologists, with a professional interest in forecasting pandemics, triggered demands that governments act.
The fear that hospitals would be overwhelmed apparently explain the (in retrospect, deadly) orders of the governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan requiring elderly care facilities to admit COVID-infected patients.
BUT HERE IS WHAT EVERY LOCKDOWN proponent seems to be forgetting—-the original purpose of the lockdowns was to “flatten the curve” so the hospitals would not get overwhelmed. We overcame that threshhold months ago!
Now some tyrannical leaders continue their restrictions in order to “stamp out the virus” or wait for a vaccine.
Hey Government officials: That was not the deal. We went along with you initially because we bought your hospital spiel.
Do not move the goalposts in the middle of the game.
To justify their continued tyranny they now use shame, fear and intimidation. Examples include shaming beachgoers, though outdoor virus spread is minimal; Scaring parents by extending school shutdowns, though few children get or transmit the infection; losing down gardening aisles in superstores (what is that about?); Barring church services, while blessing crowded demonstrations and riots for politically favored causes.
But for millions, the economic damage has been of Great Depression proportions. Restaurants and small businesses have been closed forever, even before the last three months of urban rioting. Losses have been concentrated on those with low income and little wealth, while lockdowns have added tens of billions to the net worth of Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.
Sheepdogs:
It’s time to re-assert control over our Ranch.
Every individual can do their own small part:
Go out to eat to support your local business family and enter the establishment and everywhere else you go, proudly wearing your Trump 2020 mask (before you take it off to eat).
Talk to your neighbors, co-workers and anyone else you can about FREEDOM and the power of the individual, rejecting collective guilt and the power of the state.
And be sure as heck to do everything you can to support the re-election of Donald J. Trump!
Do not let the light of America grow dim on our watch!

THE BACKHOE CHRONICLES LABOR DAY UPDATE – Peter Feeman, National Committeeman, Florida

THE BACKHOE CHRONICLES LABOR DAY UPDATE:
The Polls, the Deep State and the Continuing Struggle for America
Part 1
Pollster Jonathan Zogby said last week that his survey found 36 percent of blacks approving of the president, along with 37 percent of Hispanics and 35 percent of Asians. Trump surged among independents to 44 percent, and even 23 percent of Democrats in the poll said they approve of Trump’s performance.
The Zogby analysis stated: “Another factor continuing to help the president’s high approval rating is a rise in crime in our nation’s biggest cities. Unlike a year ago, the president is performing well with voters in large cities. It’s highly likely he is benefiting from the uptick in violence. His law-and-order message is resonating with urban voters at the moment.”
The Democracy Institute/Sunday Express poll also confirmed Trump’s surge among black voters, as well as greater strength among Hispanic voters than in 2016, as Breitbart News reported:
The Democracy Institute/Sunday Express poll shows that Trump leads Biden among white voters by a 53 percent to 45 percent margin. The president’s support among black and Hispanic voters has increased.
Nineteen percent of black voters support President Trump, while 77 percent support former Vice President Biden. This represents an 11 point increase of support among black voters for the president, compared to the 8 percent support he received in the 2016 presidential election.
Thirty nine percent of Hispanic voters support President Trump, while only 50 percent support former Vice President Biden, a ten point increase in support among Hispanic voters for the president, compared to the 28 percent he received in the 2016 presidential election.
All of this good news for Chronicles fans was, of course, not reported by the lamestream news outlets.
Meanwhile, the Deep State, maybe anticipating that their time is growing shorter, has ramped up their efforts of anti-American, antiTrump indoctrination…..
Part 2
The Deep State has been busy, busier even during the Trump Administration, adding to the urgency of the election on November 3rd:
Did you know the U.S. Army funds an “Equity and Inclusion Agency”? Seriously…and you thought our military was just about national defense. Think again.
In this “Operation Inclusion”, Army personnel are told that voicing support for enforcing immigration laws or repeating phrases such as “Make America Great Again” are evidence of….. get this….”covert white supremacy.”
Chronicle fans, it gets worse…
You are a racist if you say, “all lives matter” and if you deny the reality of “white privilege.”
You are also a racist if you support Columbus Day, the idea of American exceptionalism or if you believe there is such a thing as reverse racism (which of course there is).
Folks, this is not some nutty college professor or a Democrat candidate running for President. This is our U.S. Army, for crying out loud.
And this virus infects our federal government in numerous federal agencies as well..
Since President Trump was inaugurated in 2017, Howard Ross, a private “diversity consultant” who is paid millions of dollars of our tax money, has conducted at least 17 trainings in numerous federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, the National Institute of Health and the Attorney General’s office.
The “training” begins with the premise that “virtually all white people contribute to racism.”
This “permanent bureaucracy”, this “Deep State”, is the swamp President Trump was elected to drain, so that once again, this nation “of the people, by the people and for the people” might survive.
Now, more than ever, support Donald Trump. Do not let the light of America grow dim on our watch!

Impromptu Trump Rally at Tampa Airport Sat -July 31

  Tampa Trump 4.jpg Tampa Trump 7.jpg

Polk REC members, Royal Brown and Glynnda White, attend Impromptu Trump Rally at Tampa Airport Sat -July 31

Glynnda and I attended a great rally for President Trump on the tarmac of private jet side of Tampa International Airport  yesterday (July 31) at 4:30 pm along with an estimated 1,000 – 1,500 other enthusiastic folks mostly from Trump Clubs in the Tampa/Clearwater area.  For security reasons, this was a 24 hour notice by invitation from Tampa area Trump Club officials with names placed on list night before.  This rally was not open to the public.  Another est 500 folks not on the “list” lined the road outside the private jet airport side.  

Obviously, security was very tight and we had to report for security checks no later than 2:30 pm.  The organizers did a great job positioning large tents with cooling fans for folks to assemble in wait for the President’s arrival.  Once announced that Air Force One was approaching, the crowd was moved and positioned on the tarmac using turnstyles for “social distancing” purposes.  Masks were not required and the front row of folks was no more than 20′ from the podium so we all had great views of the President who looked fantastic.  
  –  POTUS also walked down a very tall, portable boarding ramp rolled out to Air Force One (parked about 40 yards from the crowd).  He looked very robust, dispelling any leftist crap about his physical condition.  
  – It was an awesome scene with magnificent AF One in background along with the black “beast” Presidential limousine and other vehicles,secret service agents, snipers on hanger roofs, airport police, Swat teams, etc. 
The main purpose of this rally was to honor approx. 20 FL County Sheriff’s on hand and others not present who have publically endorsed President Trump. After the President’s remarks of about 30 minutes, great 2d Amendment defender, Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County gave an outstanding welcoming speech on behalf of the other Sheriffs present.  It was reported the President met with these men after leaving the airport.
  – The theme of POTUS remarks was his strong support for LE nation-wide mentioning he had thousands of endorsements from law enforcing agenceis.  He emphasized the criminal rioting and  destruction of federal property would not be tolerated and that it was shameful how Democrat elected officials had ignored the destruction by criminal mobs in their cities and states. 
  – He rightfully ridiculed Democrat support to de-fund or eliminate police in Democrat controlled cities and states.  He further rightfully criticized Democrat elected officials supporting  the criminal violence by anarchist mobs including BLM, antifa and their supporters in such Democrat controlled cities as Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, New York City, etc. 
  – He mentioned Democrat lies (including House Judiciary Committee Chair, Nadler) that  these criminal activities resulting in looting, arson, destruction of property including police cars and precincts, injuries to police and others and even murders were just “protests” and that it was a “myth” they were violent.  
Despite the heat, it was a great, very inspiring event – pictures will follow.

President Trump Receives Endorsement from Police Unions

National Association of Police Organizations endorses President Trump.
The National Association of Police Organizations, which represents more than 1,000 police units and associations nationwide, is endorsing President Trump’s re-election bid, recognizing his “steadfast and very public support” of law enforcement officers.
“Our endorsement recognizes your steadfast and very public support for our men and women on the front lines, especially during this time of unfair and inaccurate opprobrium being directed at our members by so many,” wrote the group’s president, Michael McHale.
Florida Police Benevolent Association, the largest police union in Florida with 30,000 members, voted to endorse President Trump in the 2020 election.
The Florida Police Benevolent Association’s president, John Kazanjian, said that Trump has sided with law enforcement amid a wave of anti-police sentiment during nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice that have taken place over the past several months.
“I spelled it out. What’s going on in not just in Florida but across this country that, ‘Hey, you know what, we’re getting beat up. We’re being used like a punching bag, and we’re tired of it. And President Donald Trump has been there for us. He supported us,'” .
