The United States boasts plenty of coal, wood, and fowl — enough to provide all the tar and feathers required.
Indeed, the globalist bureaucrats at the United Nations should remember how Americans deal with unconstitutional attempts at taxation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.N. this week stands “poised to impose what amounts to a global tax on carbon emissions” — what the WSJ called “the ultimate in taxation without representation.”
Despite lacking both sovereign authority and enforcement power, the U.N.’s London-based International Maritime Organization could attempt to saddle ships with taxes ranging from $100 to $380 per metric ton of carbon dioxide that exceeds a certain emissions level.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened sanctions against countries whose U.N. bureaucrats vote for such nonsense.
Shockingly, the WSJ called this “the first instance we can find of the U.N. claiming the ability to levy a tax — the revenues from which will be paid directly into a U.N.-controlled fund.”
The IMO, of course, would both establish and manage that fund.
Needless to say, a power grab of this nature awakens American patriots to the perils that beset our ancestors.
“No taxation without representation,” Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida wrote Tuesday on the social media platform X.
Then, the governor told a historical truth that every American should understand.
“Being taxed by the UN would be far more offensive than the taxes imposed by Great Britain against the American colonies more than 250 years ago. Those taxes sparked the American Revolution,” DeSantis added.
Finally, the governor spoke for Americans (including yours truly) who resent haughty international bureaucrats.

The UN should be relocated to Mogadishu. With the majority of the support coming from the Somali’s.
The US, and Israel, should resign from the org and simply veto any anti-Israeli proclamations by force of arms.
Yeah, make us pay it. 😆
I’ll go further: it is essentially a declaration of war.
It’s been an internationalist wet dream for generations. So exactly what it the UN going to do if the U.S. says no? Send their army?
It’s about 50 miles across the Bering Straight.
It’s cheaper to plant a few million trees.
Yeah, the UN ghouls can KMA. They want some $$$ from me? Come and get it. I love the color of baby blue and I could use some more target practice. Every little bit helps.
It is way past time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
I couldn’t agree more.
Exactly.
“”It’s been an internationalist wet dream for generations. So exactly what it the UN going to do if the U.S. says no? Send their army?””
They’re gonna threaten us with a good time? Bring it. I’ve had a burr up against the UN for a very long time now. It would be nice to get some relief for that “needy” feeling to exact some payback.
“According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.N. this week stands “poised to impose what amounts to a global tax on carbon emissions” — what the WSJ called “the ultimate in taxation without representation.””
Are we still sending $$$ to the UN? If so Pres. Trump should cancel that and tell the UN to find another country to put their headquarters in and start charging them a grand a day for the one in NYC until they move.
The...Fehmarn Belt tunnel is an under-construction immersed tunnel, which will connect the Danish island of Lolland with the German island of Fehmarn, crossing the 18-kilometre-wide (11 mi) Fehmarn Belt in the Baltic Sea.
The tunnel is planned to become world’s longest road and rail (combination) tunnel.
Designed and financed by Danish state-owned Femern A/S, the tunnel was approved in 2015 with a construction budget of 52.6 billion krone (equivalent to US$8.2 billion).

The Chinese would be the major beneficiaries of a Bering Strait tunnel, and they could probably build such a tunnel for $15 billion.

I believe the land for the UN was bought by the Rockefellers and given to the UN.

Most shipping is done under foreign flags who will pay the taxes and pass the cost onto us.
Come and collect it, bitchez!
