• Obama to UN: Need to Talk About 'Deeper Causes of the Crisis' Tue Sep 25
  New York, NY
  No need for more security at our embassies, we just need to talk about our differences, according to President Obama. ... more
• Carney Struggles to Justify Obama Snubbing World Leaders Tue Sep 25
  Washington, DC

• The UN Gun Control Treaty Is Bad for Gun Owners Everywhere Tue Sep 18
  Chuck Norris
  Last time I checked, Americans were responsible for making our own laws. We do not invite foreign nations to have a say in how we govern ourselves within our own borders. Yet if you follow what's been going on with the United Nations this year, you know that the USA came perilously close to having other countries dictate our gun laws. And the fight isn't over yet. ... more

• One Hundred Twenty Nations Vote Against President Obama Sun Sep 9
  Ken Blackwell
  President Obama continues to get high marks in all public opinion polls on foreign policy. Much of that, doubtless, is due to his crisp dispatch of Osama bin Laden last year. ... more
• American Taxpayers and Consumers Subjected to International Taxation Wed Sep 5
  David Williams
  American taxpayers are quite often skeptical and critical of federal government bureaucracies. That skepticism is amplified when applied to international institutions like the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN), which receives more than $1 billion in taxpayer dollars. ... more
• Stop Burning Food During a Drought Sat Sep 1
  Phil Kerpen
  It is always foolish for a country to order the burning of its food supply, but it takes a special kind of depravity to do it in the midst of a severe drought. ... more
• Ban Ki-moon Over Tehran Thu Aug 30
  Cliff May
  Is there no point at which we conclude that the United Nations has evolved into an organization that is not just flawed, not just in need of reform, but fundamentally, structurally and incorrigibly hostile to American values and the cause of freedom in the 21st century? ... more
• Remembering the Significance of VJ Day Thu Aug 9
  Marvin Folkertsma
  Consider this fictitious scenario: In the summer of 1950, President Thomas E. Dewey faced a national security crisis of extraordinary proportions—one that his advisors agreed likely would define his presidency. ... more
• The New Normal Fri Aug 3
  Oliver North
  This week's revelation about the president's authorizing covert action in Syria should not have come as a surprise to anyone. On Wednesday, August 1, CNN carried a breathless report sourced to "U.S. officials" that our beloved Nobel Peace Prize recipient in the Oval Office "has signed a covert directive authorizing U.S. support for Syrian rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad." ... more
• UN Firearms Treaty Dead...At Least For Now Wed Aug 1
  Bob Barr
  The failure of the United Nations last week to reach agreement on an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) despite years of preparation and an entire month of meetings during July, illustrates perhaps the only reason to keep this dysfunctional institution around: it is so utterly incompetent that it makes our governmental institutions look downright efficient by comparison. ... more

• Boot Iran from the UN Sat Jul 28
  Ken Blackwell
  Every fall, it seems, Americans are subjected to the ugly spectacle of Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad coming to New York to address the UN General Assembly. There, at the podium, he is placed on a par with President Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron, France's Francois Hollande, and other leaders of civilized states. Ahmadinejad has used this podium to spew his anti-American, anti-Israel hatred. And yet he receives hearty applause from the Islamist delegates seated before him. ... more
• USDA Retracts Call for ‘Meatless Mondays’ Thu Jul 26

• UN Treaty Mischief on Disabilities Tue Jul 24
  Phyllis Schlafly
  The United Nations in collusion with Obama's globalists has cooked up another scheme to slice off a piece of U.S. sovereignty and put us under global government. ... more
• U.N Arms Trade Treaty Potential Assault on 2nd Amendment Mon Jul 23
  Brian Darling
  Defenders of Americans’ constitutional right to “keep and bear” arms have been rightly alarmed by treaty negotiations underway in Turtle Bay. Thankfully, the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is finally getting the congressional attention it deserves. ... more
• A Humanitarian Crisis That Can Be Solved Fri Jul 20
  Linda Chavez
  For a group of 4,000 Iranian refugees currently living in Iraq, a United Nations report this week could prove crucial in determining whether they will live as virtual prisoners in the desert or be able to build new lives in freedom elsewhere. ... more

• Tilting at the UN Windmill Fri Jul 13
  Jonah Goldberg
  Those of us who believe the United States would be best served by pulling out of the United Nations and starting up a more morally and politically serious clubhouse for morally and politically serious nations are often accused of tilting at windmills. ... more
• UN-believable Fri Jul 13
  Oliver North
  Here in the Carolina Lowcountry, there are few things lower in the esteem of American citizens than the United Nations. While filling the tank of my SUV this morning, I noted the following about the pickup truck at the pump ahead of me: a South Carolina license plate, a U.S. Marine Corps decal, a National Rifle Association decal, a gun rack in the rear window, a sticker reading "Armed Infidel" and another that said "Get US Out of the UN" on it. ... more

• More Demands for Global Taxes from the United Nations Mon Jul 9
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  Since the United Nations has a long track record of supporting global taxation (with the money going to the U.N., of course), I’m even less surprised when that crowd produces another idea for fleecing people in the productive sector of the economy. ... more
