A star is born is our reaction to the first press briefing by President Trump’s new ambassador at the United Nations. The ex-governor of South Carolina was ridiculed by the Left when the president first sent her nomination up to the Hill, owing to her alleged lack of foreign policy chops. She certainly rang the wake up gong for that crowd this morning, after emerging from her first meeting of the Security Council. Tough as nails but with a smile and a layer of Southern charm.
The ambassador had just come from the regular monthly Security Council on Middle East issues. She said it was her first such meeting, and “it was a bit strange.” The Security Council, she said, is supposed to discuss how to maintain international peace and security. But the meeting, she said, was not about Hezbollah’s illegal buildup of rockets in Lebanon, it was not about the money and weapons Iran provides to terrorists, it was not how we defeat ISIS, it was not how we hold Beshar al-Assad accountable for the slaughter of thousands of civilians.
“No,” she said, “instead the meeting focused on criticizing Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East. I am new around here, but I understand that’s how the Council has operated month after month for decades. I am here to say the United States will not turn a blind eye to this anymore. I am here to underscore to the ironclad support of the United States for Israel. I am here to emphasize that the United States is determined to stand up to the U.N.’s anti-Israel bias.”

Good for her. I know some FReepers were not happy with her nomination, but she’s looking like a good choice.
Forget about suggesting she run for President, she is not a natural born citizen.
HO - LEE - SMOKES...
Now THAT is how winning is done.
Such a pleasure to see a leader who is not afraid to speak unadulterated, non-watered-down TRUTH.
Thanks for the post Bob - I had not heard about this.
We in South Carolina were glad to see Nikki Haley replaced as Governor by a real conservative, Henry McMaster.
Maybe she’s now found her niche. Hope so, anyway.
She’s off to s good start. Hopefully DJT will require the United Nazis to move out of our country asap. It’s little more then a Giant loophole in our defenses as it permits thousands of enemy spies right into our largest city
That is a different topic. This has to do with a US Ambassador to the United Nations.
The writer could have gone there, I bet. In a matter of a very weeks, the governor is ranked with the greats, because she stated the obvious, however fine it was to hear at last.
Notably, however, there was only one Jeane Kirkpatrick.
