Trump puts his UN money where his mouth is
Fox News, Dec 22, 2017, John Moody

Ever encounter a panhandler, and, motivated by kindness, hand over a dollar? Only to have the beggar berate you for not giving more? That’s the situation the United States finds itself in with the United Nations.

President Trump’s not-so-subtle threat to remember which nations voted to condemn his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was the ultimate case of speaking truth to power.

The largest – by far – donor to the United Nations, and a provider of foreign aid to dozens of other U.N. member states, America holds a unique, though decidedly not privileged position in the so-called world body.

Yet for decades, it has been stymied by its rivals (China and Russia), by rogue regimes (Iran), and by a U.N. leadership that views America as a source of demonic, not democratic values.

America is one of 192 countries in the UN but we pay 21% of the dues. The others ought to keep that in mind.

Can anyone say what the U.N. does anymore?

Trump ain’t done diddly to the UN so far, other than pitching an empty hissy fit.

Snarl traffic in New York City whenever some Chief Muckety-Muck visits the UN.

As a New Yorker I can tell you we’d be happy to see that building vacated.

Trump's a constitutional genius but you can count on the anti-semites to talk him down.

Yes, she's a great UN ambassador, does her job better than anyone in a long time, possible future president, this is who may be the first woman president.

That’s an intriguing thought. I’ll have to keep my eye on her, which frankly isn’t hard to do. Woo woo!

Speaking of things Trump didn't do, it looks like ATT was announcing their bonuses before the the GOP tax bill was ever voted on. (they're also laying people off) They only decided to kiss the butt of Orange Glorious later so they must have some deal they want in return.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing you angry and bitter for the holidays. I hope there is more Donald Trump news this weekend to ruin your life.....

For the record, Ralph Peters just said Nikki Haley might be the first female president, so take that on those who can just post some photo.

Fox military analyst: 'Nikki Haley may end up as our first female president'
By Joe Concha - 12/21/17 04:01 PM EST

Fox military analyst Ralph Peters hailed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Fox Business on Thursday, declaring that the former South Carolina governor "may end up our first female president."

Peters praised Haley for taking a tough stance following the U.N.'s opposition to U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital but also cautioned against the U.S. making threats it's "not prepared to carry out."

The U.N. in a 128–9 vote on Thursday overwhelmingly rebuked President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Thirty-five countries abstained from voting.

How vulgar. Well, maybe you can find a forum with pro-abortion, anti-Israel types, more of your speed. You don't knock anyone out with your potty mouth.  It befits you.
