US envoy urges Trump not to cut UN funding and lose clout

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power urged the Trump administration on Friday not to cut funding to the United Nations, warning that this would be detrimental to U.S. interests and benefit countries like China and Russia.

“We lead the world, in part, by leading at the United Nations,” Power stressed at her final press conference before leaving the U.S. Mission on Jan. 20 when Barack Obama’s presidency ends and Donald Trump is inaugurated as president.

Supporters of Israel in the U.S. Congress have introduced a number of bills to cut off U.N. funding to protest Obama’s decision to allow the adoption of a Security Council resolution in December condemning Israel’s construction of settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want for their future state.

The United States pays 22 percent of the U.N.’s regular operating budget and 25 percent of the budget for its 16 far-flung peacekeeping missions where over 100,000 troops and police are deployed. …

Olog-hai is doing vastly better than you are.

You have designed your new age world, and then designed a god that fits into it.

At any rate, what are you and Olog doing with the slow-to-anger attribute of Yahweh?

Looks like it is getting skipped.

Well I am really sorry that your manifest self-superiority spirit isn’t obvious to you too. All we would have to do is to look at your condescending, prideful tag for how long? Years?

God shames the “new age” by being the real McCoy, that it only can feebly imitate but never equal... in fact God’s way is permanent, and the devil’s transient.

You’re letting the devil do a doodle dance before you and saying that’s God. No. I’m saying God is God and you can’t shut Him in a cage.

Yep your god is yours alone.

You have never met Yehova, and go into rages trying to shout him out of existence. Its OK, I’m quite sure that he doesn’t know you either, which is good since you are going in the opposite direction from his.

Because don’t forget — the devil will carry on two contradictory lines of thought in parallel. What would you expect out of the father of lies? He will put on his “new age” and then come up with a “god” that “damns” it, but it is all kabuki theater meant to keep you from seeing what the real GOD can do.

Anyhow, this may not convince you, at least not now, but that isn’t the point. I am proceeding more along the lines of “Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn wisdom.”

Your “Yehova” — oh he was the boss of my life for the longest time. I discovered he was the author of sin.

Yahweh is another private god that belongs to the kippa wearing, Rabbi following Jewabies.

“Jehovah” is a term of convenience invented by German theologians. Just to try to educate you. It’s up to you whether you want to be uneducable.

Dearest samantha...GET OUT!!! No one cares for your lunacy, you affirmative action hire.

First, we got harfed by Marie Harf. Then we got psakied by Jen Psaki. Now we are being powered by Samantha Power, in her last week on the job. I can't take this BS anymore. You are right, Samantha, STFU and GTFO, and don't let the door hit your brain on the way out.

The Lion of Judah is alive and well albeit weak right now sitting in Jerusalem. The time will come when the Lion will awaken and roar.

Obviously there is still disagreement on certain divine particulars between the gospel groups and the Judaism groups. But yes, this is one locus of that Lion. The gospel demonstrated that Judah’s lion could be anybody’s lion, if they were willing.
