Same here. Now I think that the “Haley and son attend proud to be queer parade” story was likely concocted by pro-UN’ers who heard that the ambassador and her son had a outdoor lunch at some establishment near the parade route.
ha, funny, I just got to this article! thx
/s ?
And things have changed in 60 years. Change is a good thing, or so they tell us all the time.

If we aren’t going to boot these hostile parasites, yank their privileges and immunities, perqs and emoluments of these UN leeches.
They aren’t diplomats and they aren’t our friends.
Heard they were boo’d and heckled at the tolerance event.
Fat around the edges? The entire organization is the biggest nest of corruption in the world. We'd be well off just leaving altogether. Maybe back in a bipolar world - US and the USSR - the UN served a purpose. But now it exists to attack us and Israel,and let the administrators become filthy rich.
IDGAF about the UN agenda, we can help those in need directly, and it cannot be reformed.
“My job was to go the UN and find value,”
Can’t find value in shit!!!!
Get us out of the UN and the UN out of the USA.
” ... but at the same time the UN has fat around the edges.”
Haley baby, you have a great knack for picking just the right words and putting them in just the right order. As a result I have awarded with 5 more FR-Brownie Points putting you close to the maximum achievable.
I disagree. I approve of almost all the things she has done so far.
Comments regarding the UN following the KAL shootdown[US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Charles] Lichenstein is best remembered for comments he made following the Soviet shootdown of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, after which the states of New York and New Jersey denied Soviet Aircraft permission to land, in violation of the United Nations Charter that requires the host nation to allow all member countries access to the UN.
The United States [Federal Government], which opposed the [New York and New Jersey] legislation, offered the Soviet Union landing rights at a military base so its foreign minister, Andrei A. Gromyko, could fly in for the General Assembly meeting. But the Soviets refused. When the United Nations committee met to review the situation, the Soviet delegate, Igor I. Yakovlev, said the ban on landing "raises the question of whether the United Nations should be in the United States." A furious Mr. Lichenstein replied that if member states felt "they are not being treated with the hostly consideration that is their due," they should consider "removing themselves and this organization from the soil of the United States. We will put no impediment in your way," he continued, "The members of the U.S. mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset."
Due to opposition to these remarks by the State Department, Lichenstein offered his resignation. It was not accepted. President Reagan instead responded with this statement that endorsed Lichenstein's controversial remarks:
Maybe all those delegates should have six months in Moscow and then six months in New York, and it would give them an opportunity to see two ways of life. I think the gentleman [Charles Lichenstein] who spoke the other day had the hearty approval of most people in America in his suggestion that we weren’t asking anyone to leave, but if they chose to leave, good-bye.
We don't own it so we can't charge them rent.
Well it’s pretty good until the end when you figure out the guy didn’t know east from west. Maybe sailing off into the morning sun would have worked a little better. Still, great sentiment.
I don’t think she should have been chosen as the UN Amb....Exactly why, noob?
help those most in need,...Where? Only in the U>S>, thank you MAGA, FIRST.
The Federal Government is the last group to criticize another organization for not giving value for money.
The United Nations has under performed its intended charter and is a fascist,bloated,money grubbing,corrupt organization that does very little good anymore. The “value” is way under the amount of money the U.S. puts in and to be lectured by these SOB tyrants is maddening.
Or is it a sinecure for an international ruling class and a stage for preening that accomplishes not even a good imitation of genuine debate? And if so, why do we pay for that? I'll be awaiting Ms. Lowey's answer with bated breath.
