“You’re going to see a change in the way we do business,” Ms. Haley said. “Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N., and the way we’ll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back as well.”
“For those who don’t have our back,” she added, “we’re taking names; we will make points to respond to that accordingly.”
Watched a panel of PBS handwringers last night spout the predictable /obligatory “schoolyard bully” bullshit over this.
POTUS Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do, Maggoty Media can’t handle either the truth or an Alpha Male.
Go Trump!
…Think of it for a second, how sweet it must be to Stephen Harper’s ears right now…Oh Had the good man taken on the system in blunt but truthful words like Rob Ford and now Trump does. Too bad you were too shy to take on the MSM, Stephen.
Anyway, the UN should be a body for free democratic nations only otherwise it defeats the purpose IMO; at least in it’s name “United Nations”…How can freedom ever be “united” with 1 party dictatorship countries?
The UN is currently a nest of Globalist corruption only interested in centralized power ruled by oligarchs…Again, if it was run by Democracies only would be slightly better but “the biggest tent” club in the world also includes blunt barbaric states like Iran and also hypocrite barbaric states like Saudi Arabia.
For what I have seen this Man accomplish in just a week, and knowing his position on the UN before and during his Presidential run, I will say here, that the United Nations “club” is in deep doodoo under a President Trump…(Think of Stephen’s smile)
yah LASS, and that “boilerplate” may just crush some skulls
Harper is to the left of Trump’s presidency as it stands now. Trump is what Harper coulda shoulda been.
The U.N. is a swamp that needs to be drained and have some DDT applied.
The Trump administration will have to with hold it’s funding and play hardball, to demand value for money audits on all programs.
The Organization for Islamic Conference(Co-operation) has, on at least two occasions, delivered legal documents stating it’s members believe Sharia Law(the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights) over rides the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights. Those nations(56) have to be challenged in public debate on the incompatibility.
Until that contradiction is resolved global jihad will continue unabated.
All the Americans have to do is stop their UN funding. That’ll shut the whole thing down in a weekend.
I’d love to see that. Let the Saudis pay the rent on Turtle Bay for a change, see how they like that.
“Think of it for a second, how sweet it must be to Stephen Harper’s ears right now…Oh Had the good man taken on the system in blunt but truthful words like Rob Ford and now Trump does. Too bad you were too shy to take on the MSM, Stephen.”
He’s still too shy.

“Interesting analysis though in no way reflects my view,” states Harper, in response to a Globe & mail column entitled…
VOTING FOR CONSERVATIVE LEADER: WHAT WOULD STEPHEN HARPER DO?
It would’ve been nice to see him use that opportunity to both use the term “FAKE NEWS” in his tweet and to hash tag it as such too.
So refreshing that a fraudulent president, like Hussein, isn’t sending a little slightly-tinted-skin girl (I think some jokers called her “black”) to the UN to LIE about Benghazi for her boss. I am thrilled to be rid of the boilerplate of Benghazi … and the ‘ol “spontaneous Muslim Terrorist uprising over something some American said”
“So much boilerplate, so little substance.”
That sounds like you were gazing into a mirror and having an epiphany when you wrote it.
I said it before and I will say it again. Trump will prove to be the WORSE president EVER!
However there is one thing and one thing only that he did or says he will do that I actually agree with. Temporary ban on refugees and other Muslim influxes.
It was an eye opener that the USA only took in 12,000 or so refugees vs our 25,000.
You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a swamp that needs to be drained.
Trump is what Harper coulda shoulda been.
YES !!! Very well said.
I said it before and I will say it again.
…and still be wrong.

Nikki Haley was not a Trump supporter so I was disappointed when President Trump selected her. But I think I understand why; she’s an intelligent brown-skinned female who opposed Trump but is willing to think exactly how her new boss tells her to think. Besides which, it’s an inconsequential position since her job will not involve winning-over anyone.
“The Trump administration will have to with hold it’s funding and play hardball, to demand value for money audits on all programs.” Exactly!
Hopefully he does just that. The UN is being controlled by thugocracies and 7th century theocracies.
Have you people noticed how much Candians hate Trump? Even the marginally right of centre Conservative party gets regularly beaten up by the Canadian Press. I think the Trump phenomenon may change a few minds and open the door a bit further for Conservative views, but when Harper was in power pushing too hard would have created a backlash. There is already a backlash — for example, against Leitch who puts forward some Trump-like ideas, but I don’t think Harper as Trump would have worked — even if it were possible.
LindaL, Canadians don’t hate Trump, they just like to feel superior to Yanks. It’s easy, just repeat the Canadian news media propaganda, and you’re a member of the “superior” club. No requirement to expend energy on actual thinking and reasoning.
Poor UblowMe!
Watched a panel of PBS handwringers last night
People still watch PBS?
I admit that I do, but a lot less than I used to a few years ago. I’ve given up entirely on Newshour, which used to be fair and balanced. The American Experience and Frontline are the only shows I watch on a regular basis now, though I occasionally glance at what used to be called Masterpiece Theatre.
I’m debating whether I want to renew my membership this year.
Have you people noticed how much Candians hate Trump?
Yup. Most people I’ve spoken to are appalled at him. Me, I took pride in watching his inauguration, seeing history in the making.
….Canadians don’t hate Trump, they just like to feel superior to Yanks.
And what often passes for Canadian national pride is merely a declaration of gratitude for not being American.
Yup, you nailed it. Canadians don’t identify as “Canadians” they identify as “Not_Americans” because it makes them feel superior. Also what passes for “Canadian” is actually the GTA and the communities that hug the Great Lakes shoreline. CBC of course panders to that audience and flogs a “Canadian” identity that intelligent people are Liberal of course.
We will never be truly Canadian until the West separates.
Have you people noticed how much Candians hate Trump?
I call it Trumpophobia.
I hang out with people who understand that Trump is not a socialist a hole. We like him and hope he sets America on a better course than the idiot socialists have in Canada.
@John Galt:
We shall see. BTW, the thing that I did agree on, the ban, well Trump even screwed that up because not enough thought was given on implementation and now unnecessary mayhem is resulting. His blanket ban(oddly leaving out probably two of the worse cesspools for terrorism, Saudi Arabia and Egypt out of it) has no nuisance about it. Typical of a childish mind.
But I am sure we would agree that Truddoo’s latest idea to take in the refugees Trump has stopped is another insane act of that leftist loony.
I call it indoctrination. Public education, CBC, CNN, almost every movie or TV show you have ever seen… they have programmed you to hate Mike Harris, Grant Devine, Margaret Thatcher… While simultaneously programming you to say “Trudeau’s charter good”.
When you finally learn that anyone or anything the CBC has ever told you is good, is your enemy. When anybody decides to stop being a flesh and blood tribute to the skill of their indoctrinators, maybe something can get better.
I am sure we would agree that Truddoo’s latest idea to take in the refugees Trump has stopped is another insane act of that leftist loony.
totally!! It’s like Trump saying we won’t dump toxic waste in lakes anymore and JT saying, OK we’ll dump it in our lakes.
It’s also called “manufactured consent” or propaganda.

Feel superior enough yet?
GFY.
