WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced on Thursday that the US will withdraw from UNESCO, the UN's educational, scientific and cultural body.
The Paris-based body is known for designating World Heritage sites like the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria and Grand Canyon National Park, but it has struggled for relevance as it becomes increasingly hobbled by regional rivalries and a lack of money.

Maybe the UN can move to Brussels or Babylon (where it really belongs).

I seem to recall the UN distributing little cardboard containers for children to collect money for UNESCO door-to-door on Trick or Treat Night back in the late 50s - early 60s. Kids were taught in school how great the UN was.
Pffft.
To paraphrase Rush, any organization not specifically mandated to remain conservative (or true to its founding intentions), will become liberal (progressive).

Yup. I’m a monthly. Anyone who posts or reads here should be too, even if just $5/mo., unless they are truly destitute and homeless.

Yes. Trebb is the poster child for the Antifa wing of FR. Trebb does not fact check before posting. But that matters not.
Best to do what Trebb says :-)
