 Daily Signal: ... It was scheduled to be 15 minutes—but on the other hand, if the U.N. membership was shocked at the candor of Donald Trump, Donald Trump had ample reasons to be candid because before he even gave the speech, he and first lady Melania Trump and their entourage were just, the minute they got on the escalator, it mysteriously shut down. And by the way, the London Times had run a story saying that some members wanted to shut it down in protest of Trump’s cutting back on U.N. support. That was an odd thing to happen. No. 2 was the teleprompter suddenly went out. But the escalator, by this time, was mysteriously back in service and the teleprompter would be too. And then, three, unbeknownst to Donald Trump, people, reporters, and even first lady Melania Trump said you couldn’t hear Trump. All of a sudden, mysteriously, his sound was—what do you want to call it Deamplified? And then fourth, for a minute, the translation did not come into English to the membership, but t...

 DC Daily Journal: ... The U.S. Secret Service revealed Tuesday that it had uncovered and seized a sprawling network of illegal electronic devices in the New York tri-state area, capable of overwhelming cell towers and disrupting emergency communications just as world leaders arrived for the United Nations General Assembly. The operation, conducted in August, netted more than 300 co-located SIM servers and over 100,000 SIM cards at multiple sites within a 35-mile radius of the UN, including abandoned apartment buildings. This marks one of the largest such seizures on record, with investigators emphasizing the system’s potential to flood networks with up to 30 million text messages per minute or jam 911 calls entirely. Secret Service Director Sean Curran described the find as critical, stating, “The potential for disruption to our country’s telecommunications posed by this network of devices cannot be overstated.” The agency’s Advanced Threat Interdiction Unit led the effort, which ...

This has the appearance of being more than a glitch. There should be an investigation of whoever was supposed to be operating the escalator and the teleprompter.

 Headline USA: Rubio Announces US Sanctions Against UN The US has accused Albanese of 'virulent antisemitism'... The Palestinians have indicated their genocidal intent against the Jews of Israel, but the UN leader seems to consider the Israelis the problem.  Rubio is right to sanction the UN. 

 Headline USA: UN Reveals Actual Number of Gaza Civilian Casualties Is Half What It Claimed 'We get numbers from different sources on the ground, and then we try to cross check them. As we cross check them, we update the numbers, and we’ll continue to do that as that progresses...' It looks like Hamas tried to inflate the casualties to put pressure on Israel to halt its operations against Hamas terrorists in response to the mass murder of Jewish civilians.  Post See new posts Conversation David Collier @mishtal Follow The UN has just HALVED its estimate of women and children killed in Gaza. And this still counts 16 & 17 year old terrorists as children. It is time @BBCNews @skynews @cnn @nytimes and all the other brainless media apologise for spreading empty Hamas propaganda for 7 months. 7:09 AM · May 12, 2024 · 82K Views

  Todd Bensman: United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration   Monthly cash for food, lodging, and 'movement' assistance amounts to material support for illegal immigration. It influences decisions to cross. This is just insane.  US tax dollars are being used to thwart US immigration law.  It gives you an idea of just how corrupt the Biden immigration policy is.  Biden should be impeached. 

  Green energy is the road to ruin for those who have jumped on that bandwagon.  From California to Europe they have lowered people's standard of living and created unreliable energy options that fail when needed the most.

 Washington Examiner: The House Appropriations Committee this month approved the annual foreign aid bill on a party-line vote. The proposal includes the Biden administration’s full request to provide at least $150 million, with no strings attached, to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The proposal is highly controversial, with scrutiny growing over the organization’s ties to terrorist entities in Gaza. As Senate appropriators eye their own markup, now is not the time for blank checks. Members of both parties should demand much-needed changes. The urgent need for reform and oversight of UNRWA has been obvious for years. The organization has inflated its registry by falsely accepting the descendants of refugees into its ranks. This has led to bloated budgets and the needless perpetuation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. But the need for reform became increasingly obvious in the wake of the recent Gaza war. The drama began when the guns fell silent. Matthias Schmale, the...

  Legal Insurrection: Hamas Cheers as UN Rights Body Approves Open-Ended Probe Against Israel   UNHRC voted overwhelmingly to open the Gaza probe backed by China, Russia and the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC). This is another bad faith operation by the UN.  Hamas committed multiple war crimes in its attacks on Israel.  It deliberately fired thousands of rockets at civilian targets and it also illegally used human shields to defend its operations.  That they are investigating Israel's defense against these war crimes demonstrates incredible bias.

Jerusalem Post:   Human Rights Council to meet next week on Palestinian territories I suspect this is one of those UN anti-Israel meetings upset that Israel is fighting back against the Hamas terrorist attacks. Perhaps they should hold the meeting in a building hit by Hamas rockets to get a better understanding of the issues.  

 NY Times: In Hunt for Virus Source, W.H.O. Let China Take Charge As it praised Beijing, the World Health Organization concealed concessions to China and may have sacrificed the best chance to unravel the virus’s origins. Now it’s a favorite Trump attack line. It could be that both were incompetent.  It is clear that China failed to contain it and allowed flights out of the city to spread it around the world while they were blocking flights to other parts of China. 

 Edward Davis: Those of Israel’s friends, tempted to vote for Joe Biden, should remember that Vice President Joe Biden played a crucial part in pushing through the notorious U.N. Resolution 2334, which declared that Jews in east Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria have no right to live there. The Obama administration abstained, which was betrayal enough. Even worse, Biden used his power over Ukraine to force Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to support the resolution. The diplomatic assault against Israel topped the  Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of  “2016 Top Ten Worst Global Anti-Semitic/Anti-Israel Incidents ”: The most stunning 2016 U.N. attack on Israel was facilitated by President Obama when the U.S. abstained on a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel for settlement construction.  It reversed decades-long U.S. policy of vetoing such diplomatic moves against the Jewish State. *** The resolution, in effect, identifies Jerusalem’s holiest sites, includ...

The Lid: Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a respected virologist at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, who fled to the United States says Beijing knew about the novel coronavirus well before it claims to have known. Dr. Yan spoke to Fox News and said her supervisors, some of them known as the top experts in their field, ignored her research, which could have warned the world about CoronaVirus well before the outbreak spread from Wuhan. Yan says she was one of the first scientists to study the CoronaVirus and reports that at the end of December 2019 she was asked by her supervisor at the University/WHO reference lab, Dr. Leo Poon – to look into an odd cluster of SARS-like cases in mainland China. “The China government refused to let overseas experts, including ones in Hong Kong, do research in China,” she said. “So I turned to my friends to get more information.” Yan had an extensive network of professional contacts in various medical facilities in mainland China, having grown up and compl...

AP: The United States will demand Thursday that all United Nations sanctions be reimposed against Iran, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday, a move that follows America's embarrassing failure to extend an arms embargo against Tehran. The administration’s insistence on snapping back international sanctions against Iran sets the stage for a contentious dispute. It's possible that the U.S. call will be ignored by other U.N. members — an outcome that could call into question the U.N. Security Council’s ability to enforce its own legally binding decisions. “Two years ago I withdrew the United States from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, which was a product of the Obama-Biden foreign policy failure — a failure like few people have seen in terms of the amount of money we paid for absolutely nothing and a short-term deal," Trump said. ... The Trump administration wants to reimpose all international sanctions that had been eased under that deal. Other nations claim ...

NY Times: Blaming China for Pandemic, Trump Says U.S. Will Leave the W.H.O. America’s decades-long relationship with the organization has been instrumental in improving health around the world. When it came to the Pandemic WHO covered up for the Chicoms for critical weeks while China was allowing infected people to fly around the world including into the US while restricting domestic flights from Wuhan.  The WHO was an utter failure at shopping the spread of this disease.  Is there some reason beyond Trump-hatred for not holding the WHO to account?

The National Pulse: The Chinese Communist Party forced the World Health Organization (WHO) to refrain from notifying the world about human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus, causing a “four to six-week delay in fighting” the virus, according to Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service. The recently-released report corroborates the Trump administration’s narrative that China purposely withheld this critical information, delaying the world’s ability to respond: “According to the BND, China has urged the World Health Organization (WHO) to delay a global warning after the outbreak of the virus at the highest level. On January 21, China’s leader Xi Jinping asked WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to hold back information about a human-to-human transmission and to delay a pandemic warning.” This follows the Department of Homeland Security alleging the CCP’s intentional delay in notifying authorities of the outbreak was to stockpile medical supplies now in a global sho...
