The United Nations voting again to punish Israel -- with the assent of the Obama White House -- put Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer is a sour mood. On Monday night’s Special Report, substitute host Doug McKelway pointed out that Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted the U.S. government shouldn’t fund the UN until this vote is reversed.

    CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Most Americans are not aware of the fact that we pay about a quarter of the freight of the rate of the U.N.

    McKELWAY: 22 percent or something.

 Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer railed against the United Nations on Tuesday, saying President-elect Donald Trump should put his name on the organization's Manhattan headquarters and "turn it into condos."

Krauthammer told Fox News host Bret Baier that the UN has "turned out to be a disaster," criticizing the recent Security Council resolution urging Israel to stop building settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

And since Trump says that it makes people happy when their property is seized via eminent domain, the city should seize the condos.  Win-win-win.

The site is owned by the City of New York. Was donated to the city by J D Rockerfeller Jr. in 1947.

Unfortunately, it's not legally part of the USA any more - has the same extraterritoriality agreement that embassies have.
