Chemist, inventor, engineer with 355 patents, he became a very rich man. Nobel was the right man at the right time, he invented dynamite just as Otto Von Bismark was uniting the Germans.

He invented cordite based explosive and blew up several factories and some relatives while devising how to make it chemically stable enough to be practical.

Basically Nobel made modern warfare possible. Previously, armies and navies used low explosive, coarse black powder which shot projectiles a few hundred yards at low velocity. Armies wore bright uniforms and fired at each other at close range.

Nobel made long range artillery and machine guns practical and plentiful and he was the daddy of World War One and all subesquent armed conflicts. (Kudos to Hiram Maxim as well).

Trump is pulling the old carrot and stick trick. If I get the carrot, I will not have to use the stick on you.

Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, called on Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado to relinquish the award to the president.

Following a ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza, Stone told Real America's Voice host Jack Posobiec that he was "not happy that the Norwegian-based Nobel Peace Prize Committee elected to give their award to Maria Corina Machado."



"The right thing to do would be for her to ask or maybe have Marco Rubio ask her if President Trump can give her the award," he insisted. "And then she should hand it back to the president."

"He deserves this award, even though I thought those elitist globalist freaks at the Nobel Peace Prize Committee would likely not give it to him."


Stone suggested that former President Barack Obama should not have received the award.

"I really think the president deserves this award," he remarked. "And I would hope that Maria Corina Machado would consider accepting it and giving it to the president, bestowing it to the president."

"Yeah, Roger, that's an incredible idea," Posobiec agreed. "So she'll get it there and then I suppose you'd have to bring it to, he could invite her to the White House perhaps and have the ceremony there and invite the Nobel Committee as well."
