Ine Eriksen Søreide, Norway’s former defense minister and a member of the center-right Conservative Party, agreed with Ulstein.
“Even though Trump has now received the medal, it does not mean that he has received the Peace Prize,” Søreide said.

Meanwhile, in VenezuelaThis is even more pathetic than accepting the FIFA Peace Prize.
President Donald Trump is keeping Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize after she presented it to him during their meeting Thursday, a White House official said.
“It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect.”
Machado left the medal at the White House, and it is currently in the president’s possession, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Recipes 2026Used our Instant Pot on the slow cooker setting for the first time since I bought it, what, ten years ago? Actually worked quite well.
Nothing fancy, just everyday winter comfort food. Slow cooker paprika chicken:
I used a big can of San Marzano tomatoes that I chopped up and I cooked some orzo separately and then dumped it in just before we ate. I think some crumbled feta would be a great addition.
edit: I forgot to stir in the sour cream at the end.....but it was still pretty good!

Meanwhile, in VenezuelaThey hustled her in the back door for her meeting with Trump, and back out without any press photo op with the orange one.
And:
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she “presented” US President Donald Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize medal at their meeting Thursday.
“I presented the president of the United States the medal, the Nobel Peace Prize,” Machado said, before launching into an anecdote about Latin American revolutionary Simón Bolívar.
“I told him this,” Machado continued. “Two hundred years ago General (Marquis de) Lafayette gave Simón Bolívar a medal with George Washington’s face on it. Bolivar since then kept the medal for the rest of his life.”
“Two hundred years in history, the people of Bolivar are giving back to the heir of Washington a medal, in this case the medal of the Nobel Peace Prize as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.”

Weather where you are threadIt was almost 60 last week. Then we got snow and it dropped down to the 20s. Tomorrow we get more snow. And the temps will be single digits overnight starting on Saturday night and into the early part of next week. Winter isn't giving up yet, not by a long shot.
Time to do garden planning. In the safety and warmth of my house....

I'm suffering from whiplashThe Trump administration has reversed cuts to grants for mental health and addiction treatment programs that were valued at nearly $2 billion.
Thousands of federal grants supporting the programs were suddenly terminated late Tuesday before sources confirmed to CBS News that the decision was reversed.
The abrupt cancellations at the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration would have impacted 2,706 of the agency's discretionary grants, a source familiar with the matter told CBS News.
President Trump's political appointees moved to terminate the funding, not career officials working for SAMHSA, according to the source.
