Let’s take our $3 billion and go.
The United States pays 22% of the total UN budget. What we get for our $3 billion a year is a corrupt organization whose dysfunctional and hostile agencies are united in opposing us around the world.
The United Nations does only two things consistently and effectively: waste money and bash Israel. Sometimes it manages to do both at the same time.
...
The Jewish State is the UN’s scapegoat for anything and everything. The Palestinian Authority blamed Israel at the UN for Global Warming.
...
Here’s what we get for our $3 billion.
UNRWA schools are turning out students who want to fight for ISIS. The UN’s email system has been used to distribute child pornography. UN staff members have smuggled drugs, attacked each other with knives and pool cues, not to mention a tractor. This month the UN marked Anti-Corruption Day despite refusing to fight its own corruption. The former President of the UN General Assembly was arrested on bribery charges last year. He had also headed UNICEF’s executive board. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is battling accusations of bribery.
Some of this might be defensible if the UN did anything useful. It doesn’t. It’s just a slush fund for redistributing our money to a vast UN bureaucracy and anyone willing to bribe it for benefits.
...
These days, the United Nations is a forum for Islamist powers and the rotting remains of the Communist front to continue its war against the free world while seducing weak-minded nations into going along.
We are not making the world a better place by being members of this anti-American organization which vacillates between being evil and useless.

The left is in a constant state of flipping out these days. So much so that normal people don’t notice they’re even upset. Trump decides no cream in his coffee today, left flips out, etc., etc., etc.
It is a remarkable state of affairs. If Trump were to defund the UN regular people would ignore the left’s hissy fit.
Like the mosques in this country the UN is a body of antI American enemies who are being supported by us the American people, NO MORE!
If we are no longer a member and make it leave the US itwill fall apart.
Agr33d, and remove them from our soil. But them in the Hague or something.
You keep them closer by not working a deal with the Klan. You keep them closer by working deals with just each of them. Anytime you work a deal with a group they will do the typical circular finger pointing at everyone else, and you, when they get out of bounds.
I say get the h out and get it the h out of our country. If any of them have the desire to engage in any sort of diplomatic “deal” with our country, let them do it on their own merits and not on the power of an unaccountable cabal.
As Greenberg correctly noted, this not only was directed as a shot at Israel and Trump, it had to be known it totally erased any hope of a peaceful settlement (no pun intended). Just another fire to put out by the juvenile leaving our house.
Which brings up another point where the progressives are lacking. Understanding that a nation can be led by one man and his ideas, but he needs not be the one relied upon to take care of the business which has been the case since Barry walked into our house. Each of these, what would be dibilitating distractions for a leftist and demagogue, are just another issue to be quickly taken care of and dispensed by a capable manager and leader. Trump will have all who support him and his group of managers (Cabinet) to help pull the wagon instead of piling onto it expecting one horse to do it all.
“off our soil”
Yep, that one right there.
The original purpose for starting a membership organization is often rational and conceived for the common good.
However, to use a good analogy: HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS seem to be beneficial, until the power hungry, superior ‘know it alls’ get in office and run your life. Even though you bought a home with your money, pay taxes, pay fees and landscapers - the bossy ones dictate paint color, plants and fountains etc.,
Just like the United Nations = it takes our money and makes the rules for our sovereign nation - what could go wrong?
US out of the UN
UN out of the US
FAKE UNITED
F UN
“Contributions ( very small)”
Agree completely.
Donate very little.
Use that veto power!!!!
I heard, yesterday, that Sen. Ted Cruz is moving to get it defunded.
Long over due
Get out and give them 2 months to get the hell out of NYC
Let’s not forget the Law of the Sea Treaty—which Reagan kiboshed and GW resurrected—as a perfect example of the U.N.’s ever wishful malfeasance.
I mentioned this before but Trump might as do whatever he wants since the left is going to flip out no matter what he does.
Can we get those in CATERPILLAR Yellow instead?
Good! The UN needs to fall apart and disappear. It was never any good. The Secretary-general at its founding conference was Alger Hiss, a communist and spy for the Soviets.
Three billion would build a nice wall. Probably wall off California too.
And before that, "The League of Nations"...it also sucked and fell apart.
Yes. It would be nice but the CAT D11R is nowhere near as big, and that job of shoving that sh!t off into the river is a priority IMO. Needs to be done quickly with the biggest available.
