World leaders rebuking the United States at the United Nations shouldn’t expect the American people any longer to “pay for the privilege of being disrespected,” U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley warned Thursday.

“In the case of the United States, we are asked to pay more than any other nation for that dubious distinction,” Haley told the UN General Assembly. “We have an obligation to demand more for our investment. And if our investment fails, we have an obligation to spend our investment in more productive ways.”

Months ago, someone published a lit of countries that receive money from Uncle Sugar. It is simply astounding...

Stop ALL foreign aid to EVERYONE. Reinstate it case by case ONLY where it is proven to result in a direct benefit to the U.S. Let charity take care of anything else.

Cut ‘em off PERMANENTLY!

The UK and France are just happy to still be recognized by anyone as being world powers even if they have to pay for the privilege.

Look, I agree with you. But this is a John Birch Society movement, and you understand that? I mean, all the baggage that comes with it. Just making sure.
