Tuesday night, while cavorting madly during President Trump's primetime address to Congress, the Democrats conclusively demonstrated nothing less than the need for...
Saw this article, "Pause in US foreign aid has UN in panic over funding cuts, Trump says world body 'not being well run'", https://www.foxnews.com/person/b/beth-bailey, and in particular this quote "Last week, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned about cuts to U.S. spending at the U.N., stating that "going through with recent funding cuts will make the world less healthy, less safe, and less prosperous." My position on the UN has already been clearly made, defund anything and everything that does not align with US philosophy and remove them from US soil entirely. Personally, I don't think Trumps comment "not being well run" goes nearly far enough. This organization stands for everything that the US should be against and even the good they do comes with strings attached. That being said, Guterres concern is a "real problem" only to the extent they manage the funds they do receive. If they use them wisely they can yet be a force for good. As to US funding I have already made a suggestion (no comments back) that would allow funding with control by a US Inspector General with audit access to where and how taxpayer dollars are being used. In this computer age it is not a complicated requirement, it's up to the UN to decide how important US support is to their mission, I can only hope it gets some consideration by both the US and UN.
Read this today, "GOP rep says she'll refer sanctuary city mayors for criminal prosecution", https://www.foxnews.com/person/d/michael-dorgan, I applaud Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. for doing the obvious, but was this really necessary? The hearing before congress added nothing to what was already public and documented knowledge (i.e., a waste of taxpayer money and time these congress members could have been doing real work). The referral to DOJ is great but is the DOJ not capable of deciding when the law is being broken? They are not a court that can only act when a petition is brought before them, so why this charade? I'm just an ordinary citizen and have been calling for this prosecution long before Biden was forced out of office, surly expected it to be a "first item" of agenda with Trump's victory, and have been asking why not ever sense. This is a referral of four mayors, how about governors, state legislators, city council members, everyone who promoted and voted for sanctuary, they are all guilty of the same offense? Consider the mass round up of Jan6 demonstrators (labeled insurrectionists in most cases just for being there) and contrast that with a "law and order" Trump administration who has let real criminals (that is what you are when you disobey the law) go without even prosecution for nearly three months. Does that make any sense at all? Believe me, I know that everyone has been busy and I support all of that but how long does it take to tell the DOJ to do their job? This "miss" was far and away more important than releasing JFK, MLK, or Epstein documents, present issues should take precedent of "investigating or correcting history" as interesting or important as that might turn out to be.
Be careful what you wish for, something far worse could rear its filthy head.
