The Republicans are wasting no time helping President Donald Trump deliver on his promises that he made will campaigning to be President of the United States.
Recently a bill was introduced by Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers called the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017 which is in response to his call earlier this month for the United States to sever all ties ties from the United Nations.
As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th.

From The Business Insider:
The bill, titled the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017, was proposed on January 3. It is cosponsored by a handful of Republican lawmakers, including North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones, Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Tennessee Rep. John Duncan Jr., and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Biggs said in a statement on Monday that he cosponsored the bill because he believes that “our sovereignty as a country is harmed by our membership in this body.”
“We need to take a long look at our relationship with the United Nations to ensure that American interests are protected first and foremost,” Biggs said. “I’m grateful to Congressman Mike Rogers for introducing this legislation.”…
…The bill proposes barring the US from committing funds or troops to UN peacekeeping operations worldwide and stipulates that the UN must vacate property owned by the US government. It would repeal the 1973 Environment Program Participation Act, strip UN employees of diplomatic immunity in the US, and repeal the US’s membership and participation in the World Health Organization.
...anyone have any numbers (or percentage) of
“contributions” the US has made to the UN?
It needs to be postponed to properly grieve the White Right Wing Trump inspired terror attack in Canada /s
Yes, I feel bad that people died and got hurt. My sympathies and prayers are with them, even if they wouldn’t accept them.
But NO WAY do I believe the narrative that will be spun.
The left’s heads are about to explode. At this rate, Soros will probably have a heart attack any day now...
” The Republicans are wasting no time helping President Donald Trump deliver on his promises that he made will campaigning to be President of the United States.”
If I wrote this it’d be : Republicans are wasting no time helping President Trump deliver on the promises he made during the presidential campaign .
But then again I didn’t go to journalism school lol !
Will it escape committee?
Is it symbolic or a real vote, I.e., not just a show vote?
Now if these Congressmen can work on tax cuts and repealing Obamacare it will go a long way to restoring their reputation as complete obstructionists. Although a good and long overdue gesture, this move will be nonstarter with many RINOs, especially in light of this current faux refugee outrage
UN employees are mostly homosexuals or lazy alcoholics, as I understand from family and friends of family who have worked for the UN.
It should also require that all outstanding motor vehicle violation fines be paid. The funds would allow New York City and State to eliminate income taxes and cut the sales tax by 50%. /s
If we just stopped angering them, there would be peace. Look at Israel.
/s
Soros, at 87 yrs., should either have a heart attack or his funds will give out trying to finance another demonstration. Somethings has got to give with this old fart.
Nikki Haley would have to find a new job.
The world will be a better place without him, for certain. Cruel and evil man.
>>It is cosponsored by a handful of Republican lawmakers, including North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones, Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Tennessee Rep. John Duncan Jr., and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.<<
The GOP Senate will run and hide from this like the cowards they are.
I thought I read that we contribute 20%
..that may be the yearly “dues” someone agreed to....I’m talking beyond that...
I guess the question would be, are the yearly dues the only official funding or is there unofficial money being thrown at them - if so, that unofficial money has probably had the faucet turned off (or will have shortly) by Trump.
....way more than I thought, this will make you ill....

Yes, but he has a son who is apparently as twisted as his old man, and has been given control of the Billion$$$.
