Who hands out the Noble Prizes?  Queen Elizabeth? :hmm:

A guy named Ig Noble.  And that prize exists.  And Trump should get it.

The Minsky Moment

Gotta rush out and bring those Lawsuits.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I though OJ was the peak of audacity for getting off on technicalities and poor prosecution efforts and then bragging about it and rubbing peoples' faces in it, but nope. Trump puts efforts like "If I Did It" to shame.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

QuoteDoes anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists? Noble is defined as, "having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals." Does sarcasm ever work?

Ok so he says I shouldn't believe the media but now he recommends I shouldn't believe what he says either?

Please tell me at least there IS a Nobel prize for journalism, because I have never heard of it.

It's as real as the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences. :angry:

There isn't. Trump was explicitly writing "Noble Prize", though, so he clearly didn't refer to the "Nobel Prize". (see his "explanatory" tweet above)  :rolleyes:

1,000 Westpoint graduates are called back, so Trump can give their commencement speech.

QuoteTrump Speech to Bring 1,000 West Point Cadets Back to Campus

The president's off-again, on-again speech in June will bring back cadets who had scattered across the country to help counter the coronavirus.

[...]

General Williams said in a telephone interview that returning seniors would be tested off-campus for the coronavirus. Those who test negative will then be sent to the school, where they will be monitored for 14 days before graduation. While the campus has enough dormitory rooms for the 1,000 seniors, General Williams said that he was still deciding whether seniors would share bedrooms on their return.

"All 1,000 of them will not intermix," he said. "They'll be in their rooms. They'll have their masks on. Groups will be segregated in the mess hall when they eat."

[...]

Gotta get those cool images for the campaign, I guess.

Actually, that was in response to what was, for Trump, a pretty funny line (... the State Department or, as well like to call it, the deep State department...)
