President Donald Trump’s blunt assessment of the United Nations in his Sept. 23 address wasn’t just another form of political theater.
It served as a reality check for an institution that has long sacrificed its purpose and mission for pretenses and spectacle, and Americans, for the most part, have noticed this.
“The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them,” Trump reminded.
That line hit home at Turtle Bay because it’s true.
According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 60% of voters agree, including 43% who strongly agree. That’s not the MAGA fringe. That’s mainstream America, tired of writing checks to a diplomatic dinosaur that hasn’t done its job since Harry Truman was in office.

The United Nations was established in 1945 to prevent wars and foster cooperation.
Instead, it’s spent 80 years honing the skill of doing nothing, and at a high cost.
From genocides in Rwanda, Darfur, and the Congo to its complete paralysis during the Iran hostage crisis, and its obsessive condemning of Israel (while turning a blind eye to Iran and North Korea), the U.N. has so often failed its core mission that “U.N. peacekeeping” has become an oxymoron.
And let’s not forget Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, which the U.N. has condemned more than all other nations combined. Specifically, from 2015 through 2023, the U.N. General Assembly “adopted 154 resolutions against Israel and 71 against other countries,” according to UN Watch.
Meanwhile, nations like China, Cuba, and Iran still hold seats on the Human Rights Council. That’s like appointing Bernie Madoff to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Trump was right to point out how the U.N. now functions less as a protector of...

Oh, if only... the UN had only just done ‘nothing’. They have actively propagandized and ruled against America and Israel on pretty much every world issue. They’re a bunch of anti-America twits that think they are above the law, much like radleft Democrats in America think.
They rake in the money while staying silent, not even crickets, when real human atrocities occur. At which point, depending upon their particular political bias du jour, they’ll pretend to care. Useless, worthless, corrupt... and destructive organization. Let it wither on the poison vine and die.
Should have happened decades ago; move them to Somalia.
Wazzat?
The UN cut down 100,000 of the Amazon’s trees to make way for their Climate Change Summit ,LOL
HAVE TRUMP CORP REMODEL THE BUILDING:
GROUND FLOOR: CAFETERIA
2ND FLOOR: MEDICAL SERVICES
ALL OTHER FLOORS: APARTMENTS FOR US MILITARY VETERANS
RENT: COST OF OPERATION PLUS 5%-—NEVER MORE
This would be a big gift to our progeny. Put a stake in the heart of this useless grift. From Gen X with love.
That chant needs a good drummer to reinforce the message
Turn the UN Building into the Trump Presidential Library.
We have the communist Democrats to thank for this globalist scam known as the United Nations. The movement started with Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations and, when that failed, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman for resurrecting it as the United Nations. Rockefeller donated the land in Manhattan to the UN so I’m not sure if it would be legal to throw them the heck out, but it would be worth the effort.
Long past time for this anti-American money sucking club to be disbanded or for the U.S. to resign and kick them out of the countru.
I enjoy & agree with the way you think. 😁🤙
