US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power on Friday warned that cutting US funding to the United Nations would be “extremely detrimental” to American interests, one week before Donald Trump’s administration takes office.

Addressing her final news conference, Power told reporters that “countries like Russia and China” would benefit from Washington’s reduced standing at the United Nations if funding were withdrawn.

She's right...a cut in UN funding might mean fewer peacekeeping operations where UN troops can rape and kill those they're supposed to be protecting.

I know Trump has had plenty of practice saying it, so hopefully it comes on day 1: Samantha, YOU'RE FIRED.

She can leave any other helpful tips she has in the suggestion box on the way out

Samantha Power should have resigned rather than cast that vote at the UN that condemn Israel. Power has no moral ground to stand on.

Destroy Israel and tax us for global warming and take away our guns.

By hook or by crook he's hellbent on destroying Israel:

Report: Netanyahu Working to Block Obama Bid for U.N. Secretary-General

Israel National News describes a Kuwaiti newspaper’s report about President Barack Obama’s post-presidential plans as “somewhat far-fetched,” but apparently plausible enough to bounce through publications around the world.

According to the Al Jarida report, President Obama wants to be appointed Secretary-General of the United Nations after he leaves the White House, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to thwart his ambitions.

Right, like they will pick up the slack right Samantha. BTW, Samantha, your given name become popular after the TV series Bewitched. Well, in your case, just a witch.

What?! Samantha Powers is no Neocon. She is a leftist hack, married to a leftist goon. When has she ever been conservative?
