The UN was devised in a day when a phone call across the pond was a huge deal. Its technological day went away in about 1965. It does no-one any real good, and it does many people a great deal of harm, costing a lot of money and aggravation to do so.

Its biggest purpose now is to give robber-baron dictators a platform from which to insult democracies.

We cannot just close it, but we can certainly evict it, and not go with it when it relocates to Goofedupistan or where-ever.

Donald Trump was the savior of this nation. That is no exaggeration. He saved us.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who shed tears of relief when he was elected rather than that harpy. And now after almost a year of action, I can see he is genuinely concerned with making America great again. God be with him.

God bless this great Country of ours, and God bless our President. He is earning back the respect his position inherently deserves the good old fashioned hard way - by doing what he knows is right, not by deceit, not by cowardice, not by kissing up to our enemies. No apologies. He is a throwback to our greatest generation, and to our forefathers. This show of strength and morality in the face of adversity is what has always made America great. When pushed, we do not back down.

Looks like we are cutting back funding, GREAT.

And like our founding fathers risked it all to rebel, DT risked it all to run for president.

Guatemala follows in Trump's footsteps, announces embassy move to Jerusalem. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2...el-to-jerusalem.html

"The Romanians are right. That 40-mile drive from Tel Aviv is murder on our diplomats' bones."

They will learn that Trump doesn't play around...Or not.

Haley announces $285M cut in 2018-19 UN operating budget

Calling it “a big step in the right direction,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday night announced a historic reduction in the U.N. biennial operating budget.

Haley said the plan calls for a $285 million cut for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known,” Haley said. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked."

She added, “This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable U.N. – is a big step in the right direction.”

The U.N. budget now covers a two-year period, beginning in January of an even-numbered year.

The United States was seeking a $250 million cut to the U.N. budget for 2018-19, on top of $200 million in savings already proposed by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Agence France-Presse reported two weeks ago.

Guterres has proposed capping the U.N. biennial budget at $5.4 billion, shaving off $200 million from the 2016-17 budget.

The U.S. pays about 22 percent of the U.N.’s budget, or roughly $3.3 billion, and fully 28 percent of its peacekeeping effort.

The U.N.'s operating budget is separate from its peacekeeping budget, which was cut by $600 million this year, under pressure from President Donald Trump, AFP reported.

Trump last week threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor of a draft U.N. resolution calling for the U.S. to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The final tally was 128-9, with 35 nations abstaining, including five members of the European Union.

It's a start. Cut it all. Get us out. Get them out. The UN has become populated with the Star Wars bar scene of scum and villainy.

Should have been $3 Billion. We need to rid ourselves of the UN.

The UN gives tin pot Dictators a platform and allows our enemies to legally enter the Country to spy on us.

Time to allow it to move somewhere else.

Abbas came back to Washington to meet with Trump after the administration's statement about moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.




Trump indicated his opinion that Abbas is a pussy.
