Trump looking at reducing, or possibly eliminating, U.S. role in UN

Consequences

When it comes to the United States, there’s one thing and one thing only that matters to the United Nations: $3 billion. That’s what we give them every year in funding, which is far more than any other nation on this Earth. It accounts for more than 20 percent of the UN’s total budget, and an organization that lives on salaries, accommodations and travel expenses for its bureaucracy will find itself in a real fix if it’s major funder decides to stop or reduce the checks.

UN has new meaning:

“Under Negotiation”

Like everything.

ABC top-of-the-hour news yesterday claimed that the sales of Orwall’s novel 1984 is placing it among the best sellers, due to the use of the phrase “alternate facts” which the leftists think they can milk. Which invites some questions: The phrase was said on a news program Sunday and that got around to spur sales of the novel by Tuesday? How did people know about the novel, since I am sure modern educators hide it away.

I don’t really think the globalists want that novel read.

I’m sure Donald knows someone who can turn that NYC site into something positive and useful for America

The only we have at present is paying for it, and the only purpose the UN has is to suck our money while throwing excrement in our face.

I’m not seeing the problem, frankly.

And the dregs of the third world come to live in midtown Manhattan, running over people with their limos and getting away with it, committing other crimes, refusing to obey parking rules and taking up seats in the best restaurants. I wish they would move to Brussels - they’d be loved there.

No, but it’s a great place to put the UN!

That may be, but I vote for Caracas, where they’ll feel right at home.

Mogadishu, Harare, Lagos, Pyongyang and Benghazi are other good possibilities

if UN is converted to either of your suggestions, landfill site or pork processing plant......many of the building’s occupants needn’t leave
