Trump plans to seriously slash funding for U.N.

The Trump administration has not been shy about its plans to cut the federal government’s size, spending, influence and control.

Among the specific targets is funding of the United Nations, including its abortion and climate change agendas, according to ForeignPolicy.com.

Last year, the U.N.’s Security Council issued a stunning resolution condemning U.S. ally Israel for building housing in disputed territory it won in the 1967 war initiated by its Arab neighbors.

Though it was just latest of many U.N. attacks on Israel, the overreach this time prompted a reaction, including calls to withdraw U.S. funding of the global body and even to drop membership and order it to vacate its properties on U.S. soil.

The U.N. also has adopted policies to override national law and advocate for abortion, routinely puts nations with questionable records on human rights, such as Angola and Senegal, on its Security Council, and threatens Americans’ constitutional rights through its Arms Trade Treaty and even parental rights through its Convention on the Rights of the Child, has not made it more popular among Americans.

Be still my heart. While we're at it, maybe we should scrap all 'world heritage sites' within the U.S. and return control to the states wherein they lie. Sounds like a YUGE idea to me. May as well tell them to take Agenda 21 and use it replace the toilet paper we ain't gonna pay for anymore while we're at it. BOOM! Drops microphone. The one worlders heads will be 'splodin when this happens.

Yessss! Do it! Do it now! The UN is the greatest threat to our national security! They are more of a danger than ISIS, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the Taliban and Al Qaeda combined.

And sell off a lot of that “Government Owned” land. We could easily pay off the national debt if they sold off half the acreage

I spit every time I pass that ####ing building in NYC.

When I recently read it was initially to be built in Philly but some guy with power had it moved to NY, i almost threw up.

Knock it down.

As for Israel, let EVERY country that’s taken and held land in a war over the past 500 years give it back.

It would be a statistical nightmare :)

Keep the land. ### the un.

U.S. out of the U.N. U.N. out of the U.S. We don’t need no stinkin’ nest of antisemitic, antiAmerican vipers cozied up in luxury on our soil, living the good life while casting stones on Israel and the U.S., giving illegitimate non-governments like the Palestinians a world forum to spew their hatred, passing resolution after resolution condemning Israel while ignoring North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. What a bunch of hypocrite LOSERS. Who needs ‘em? We DON’T.

How about cutting government subsidies to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting? That’s another left wing waste of money.
