Trump Administration reducing the funding to the UN. I agree completely. The automatic nature of tax dollars being fed to overseas organizations and governments needs to stop. Other countries need to pay their fair share. Charity is fine and we are a generous and charitable country.

Guatemala is now moving their embassy to Jerulseum following the United States lead. Fantastic!!

    Finally the UN is getting defunded.
    I spent about one and a half hours plowing snow today. 16 today 5 tonight and colder temps coming. For those who may be getting hit with the cold in the south-keep your doors under your sinks open so your pipes wont freeze .You may wish to cover your pipes with a foam insulation cover (which can be removed easily )

      Lightning, I spent over half of my work career as a Construction Manager in the Upper Tier of the US. I’m retired now, back in the South. I am so glad I don’t have to deal with that weather any longer. One project we put up golf hole flags in grids to layout the prefabricated piping for a paper mill project. All piping was laid out and cataloged for location. That winter, we knew where to dig in the snow to find the pipe. I’d rather not do that again. Stay warm Lightning. I’ll be thinking good thought for you.

    I know I’m being short sighted, but I really wish we could kick the UN out of our country. Let them go somewhere else. Then cut our “dues” to no more than say England, France, Germany or Russia. If that.

    I wonder if the Trump Corp. bought the UN building after they leave the US can they turn it into a hotel so we can get some tax money from it ?

    I’ve always thought that the way to deal with the UN is to take a snapshot of the funding for this year for every UN country. Next years money to them will be a direct proportion to their voting record WITH us. Let’s say that India gets $10 Billion from us in 2017 but only voted 20% with us. In 2018 they only get $2 Billion. I’m tired of funding those who don’t have the same values as we do. Sure we’ll hear how, “It’s not fair” that we’re cutting our funding. But hey, it’s our money and if they want it, live by our rules. It would be interesting to see if any voting change occurs from this. Just my 2 1/3 cents worth.
