Breitbart: Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.), announced Sunday night that the federal government has reduced its contribution to the U.N.’s annual budget by 285 million dollars.
The Christmas Eve statement reads in full:
Today, the United Nations agreed on a budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. Among a host of other successes, the United States negotiated a reduction of over $285 million off the 2016-2017 final budget. In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN’s bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system.
“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known. We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. This historic reduction in spending – in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable UN – is a big step in the right direction. While we are pleased with the results of this year’s budget negotiations, you can be sure we’ll continue to look at ways to increase the UN’s efficiency while protecting our interests,” said Ambassador Haley.
MAGA!
If that $285m is less than 50%, I say keep on negotiating.
Sorry guys for the off topic, but how do I donate to BFH w/o paper trail?
Time to raise the rent on Turtle Bay.
And DeBlasio can start impounding Diplomatic cars for 50 years of unpaid parking tix.
MAGA!
Bout time.
It’s a start. Next get the UN HQ out of NYC and the US.
@Texson – Money order through snail mail. Pay cash.
@ramona- what mailing address? Thanks, and I’m sorry I’m too dense if I missed the obvious. Merry Christmas to you!
Should be making cuts like that every two weeks for a year.
Send the UN to Kenya
Send the UN to Cuba
If we’re giving them anything, it’s too much….

And she says to me she says “tell me I’m wrong” and I says “I can’t, because you’re not!”.
Relocate the UN to Terahan so the delegates can makes their speeches about human rights violations in the US as they enjoy the rich party life and atmosphere in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
No, I’m still not tired of winning. Keep trying, Mr. President.
Gee, 3.5% … you think that’ll crush em?
izlamo delenda est …
The current “assessment” of the US to the UN is $3 billion – more than 185 “least-assessed” countries COMBINED. We can do better than $285 mil/ -MUCH better!
The UN has been co-opted by scoundrels, much the same way congress has.
285 million is chump change.
Fuck the UN… ALL of the UN.
@Texson, hope you caught @Bcattin post. Snail mail is on the right sidebar.
@Texson – I used my credit card and it’s on my permanent record, but I don’t care. ‘They’ know way too much about us anyway. I thought of going off the grid . . . too much work. Just login and visit iotwreport.com and the hell with it! Merry Christmas!
Put that money towards FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS!
If they are not rioting Antifa jerkholes, ZERO-OUT some of the loans, and the Bernie supporters will be shatting bricks of joy all over the place. Besides, students put money back into the economy faster with jobs and no debt, so it may balance out anyway.
None more deserving of a stocking full of coal than the U.N.
Add that $285 million toward building the wall and deporting illegals.
Thank you President Trump.
Use the money to pay the woman’s electric bill.
Just cut to the chase and use Turtle Bay for bombing practice after giving 48 hour notice to vacate the damn premises. I had enough of the UN back in grade school and that was almost fifty years ago.
