US withdraws from UN Human Rights Council as Haley decries 'cesspool of political bias'...
Fox News ^ | June 19th, 2018 | Frank miles

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was withdrawing the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council, with U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley calling the 47-member council “a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias.”

Haley noted the move came after a year where “we did not see any progress.”

Haley threatened the pullout last year, citing longstanding U.S. complaints that the council showed a “chronic bias” against Israel. Calling it “an organization that is not worthy of its name,” Haley decried the membership of countries like China, Cuba and Venezuela — which also have been slammed for human-rights violations.

I suspect we’ll see Europeans step up to the plate without hesitation....merkel’s still spreading herself around like all of Europe depends on her. They said they would ‘go it alone’ without us so here’s their chance to fall flat on their faces....and they certainly will.

“Promises made Promises Kept”......Trump is not letting off the gas to accomplish what he said he wanted to do...if he’s slowed down or stopped in one area he just moves onward to another......it’s always a ‘Go’!

Yes she has, but I don’t see that the people of Germany put up any fuss when she was hauling refugees into her country. They were just as blind then as when Hitler took over.....and just as then it’s now too late.

For years Syria was a major player in the UN Human Rights council. The same Syria that consistently scores in the top 5, rivaling N Korea in Amnesty Int’l sh!t list of the worst human rights violators. The UN’s Secretariat Bldg is 525 ft tall. Who knew bullsh!t could pile so high?

Pulling out of UNESCO, the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court.

Piece by piece we are unshackling ourselves from the One-Worlder’s international bodies. About time!

Here's a UN "tidbit" I came across recently: "The island of Niʻihau (The Forbidden Island in the Hawaiian Chain) was considered as a possible location for the United Nations headquarters in 1944 by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt had visited Hawaiʻi in 1934. Under Cordell Hull, Roosevelt's Secretary of State, the State Department seriously studied the proposal." While that would have been a travesty since the island has been restricted in perpetuity to pure Hawaiians, they do have another island, Kooholawe, which has no water and was used up until 1990 as a target for Naval gunnery exercises.
