Quote:
The federal government's own watchdog has confirmed what the numbers have long made clear: the United Nations cannot be trusted to manage the money it receives, and the State Department has been complicit in letting it happen.

A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released in April examined 11 U.N. capital projects worth more than $4 billion combined. It found a predictable mess: years-long delays and nine-figure cost overruns, coupled with contractor failures and unusable designs, and a State Department bureau with no formal system for monitoring any of it.

American taxpayers are left footing the bill, though. GAO confirmed the U.S. was the largest financial contributor to the U.N. in 2023. As of early 2026, the U.S. owed approximately $2.2 billion in unpaid dues, a figure the U.N. has been loudly publicizing while simultaneously running construction projects into the ground. An organization pleading poverty while mismanaging billions in active construction budgets is not a victim of underfunding. It's a management failure dressed up as a cash crisis...

The UN is the biggest bureaucratic grifter the world has ever seen.

And they’re doing so under a Republican Congress and a Republican President who flat out refuse to cut spending to grifters doing the bidding of the Democrat Party.
