There has been a lot of bad news lately in America. Riots, unrest, crime, murder … is there any good news to be had? Fear not. The United Nations Women are here to help. Yes, there is a group called United Nations Women. They're all about economic empowerment and sustainable development agendas (among much else), and a few months ago they put forth the solution to all the problems in the world: A mythical country called Equiterra, "where gender equality is real." "In Equiterra," states the website, "all people have equal rights and opportunities, regardless of their gender. Women and...

The United Nations Works and Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNWRA) is an anti-Israel organization that is fully captured by its clientele, Palestinian ”refugees” – most of whom have never set foot in Israel and who are one to four generations removed from anyone who lived there, the world’s only hereditary refugee population.

The State Department has released its annual report on UN voting records that clearly shows who our friends are and who isn't. Haley emphasized that U.S. taxpayers pay for 22 percent of the U.N. budget – more, she said, than the next three highest donor nations combined. Haley noted that the U.S. cares more about “being right than popular and are once again standing up for our interests and values” but said: “Either way, this is...
