If our joke of a president Donald Trump weren't a phony baloney plastic banana, he'd end the United Nations once and for all and save us $18 billion+ instead of using it for his own propaganda purposes


 

The Council on Foreign Relations here says the cost to the US for the UN is north of $18 billion in 2022.

Foreign Policy here says the annual budget for the UN in 2023 is $3.4 billion.

New York City claimed in 2016 that the UN provides an economic benefit to the city of $3.7 billion in 2014, which means US taxpayers subsidize that benefit to New York City. 

Meanwhile the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza was infiltrated by Hamas terrorists who participated in the Oct 7 massacre in Israel, which American taxpayers are also subsidizing.

Why is Donald Trump letting this continue?

Why isn't it in the news?

Why isn't DOGE going after that? 

Why isn't it a top priority?

Islam silent as China continues persecution of up to 1 million Muslims in Xinjiang: Because they're on the payroll


Hundreds of thousands of Uighur have been detained without trial in China's western region of Xinjiang. Internment camps with up to a million prisoners. Empty neighborhoods. Students, musicians, athletes, and peaceful academics jailed. A massive high-tech surveillance state that monitors and judges every movement. The future of more than 10 million Uighurs, the members of China’s Turkic-speaking Muslim minority, is looking increasingly grim.

As the Chinese authorities continue a brutal crackdown in Xinjiang, the northwest region of China that’s home to the Uighur, Islam has been one of the main targets. Major mosques in the major cities of Kashgar and Urumqi now stand empty. Prisoners in the camps are told to renounce God and embrace the Chinese Communist Party. Prayers, religious education, and the Ramadan fast are increasingly restricted or banned. Even in the rest of China, Arabic text is being stripped from public buildings, and Islamophobia is being tacitly encouraged by party authorities. ...

Part of the answer is that money talks.

Story about pre-emptive first strike against North Korea is total crap, Rex Tillerson never used the term

The dishonest media put the words in his mouth, but Tillerson never used them.

It's an effort to paint the Trump administration with the stink of George W. Bush.

Foreign Policy acknowledges preemption is only hinted at, here.
