BREAKING NYT REPORT: Trump Admin Prepares Exec Order to End Funding for UN Agencies Giving...
Jewish Press ^ | 1/25/17 | Hana Levi Julian

Posted on 01/25/2017 6:26:41 PM PST by markomalley

The New York Times reported Wednesday in a breaking story that the staff of U.S. President Donald J. Trump is preparing an executive order that would terminate funding for any United Nations agency or other international organization that gives full membership to the Palestinian Authority or the Palestine Liberation Organization.

In addition, the order terminates funding for programs or activities that fund abortion or circumvent sanctions against Iran or North Korea.

According to the report, the draft order also calls for terminating funding for any organization that is “controlled or substantially influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism” or is held responsible for persecution of marginalized groups, or systematic violation of human rights.

Moreover, the order calls for a minimum 40 percent cut across the board in remaining U.S. funding of international organizations, and establishes a committee to make recommendations as to where the cuts should be made.

The list of potential targets includes funding for peacekeeping operations, the International Criminal Court at The Hague, aid to nations who “oppose important United States policies” and the United Nations Population Fund.

A second executive order calls for a review of all current and pending treaties with more than one other nation – applicable only to those not “directly related to national security, extradition or international trade”– and asks for recommendations on which to retain.

All this action seems almost surreal.

Each and everyone of us has only dreamt of this.

Now that we actually get to see it happening it seems almost unreal.

And every single time I am euphoric over something Trump says or does, I pinch myself knowing how closely we would be seeing and listening to Hilary right now.

Boy has President Trump hit the ground running. The creeping politicians can’t believe the speed of what he is doing. They are career bureaucrats who have never seen someone working in business time.

I agree...it seems to be a miracle that our country does not deserve. It is hard to believe we have a conservative president who cares about our country.

He is inside their decision making loop, and moving faster than they can respond.

Which is pretty cool.

However, the government is made up of people who are not very happy with President Trump right now, and worried for their jobs. People like the department of Education, who have a number of fully armed shock troops.

This could get very interesting.

Without the last 8 years we’d have had Jeb Bush as the GOP candidate. Just like it took Jimmy Carter to get Reagan, it took Obama to get Trump.

Why not make it real simple—withdraw from the UN and evict the body from its headquarters. Problem solved. I am sure any of its member states would love to have the UN, its members, and all the headaches it entails. May I suggest Zimbabwe, Venezuela, or north Korea? Why bicker with all the formalities?

As Freeper Windflier wrote on another post:

It's almost as though the President starts his day by reading Free Republic, then gets his staff together to craft that day's executive orders.

The convergence between this man's mind and ours', is staggering.
