Hey, UN Corruptocrats: Spare Us Refugee Sanctimony

Michelle Malkin / Townhall Columnist

Another United Nations summit in New York. Another finger-wagging extravaganza. Another useless "historic declaration" (nonbinding, of course) to save the world (by holding another summit ... in two years).

As America reels from the latest terrorist attacks by Muslim refugees and immigrants in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota, the world's global do-gooders filled the Big Apple with their humanitarian hot air. U.N. officials convened in NYC this week to push for "collective action" to "protect the rights of refugees and migrants, to save lives and share responsibility for large movements on a global scale."

Let me put this as politely as possible: Bug off, U.N. nitwits.

Islamic jihadists are lopping off infidels' heads; kidnapping young African girls, Christian missionaries and Western tourists; incinerating Afghan schoolgirls; imposing mass genital mutilation on Muslim girls and marrying them off to lecherous brutes while they're still in grade school; pushing gays off of rooftops; mob-raping European women; casting fatwas on cartoonists, filmmakers and authors; and stabbing, shooting and bombing Jews, Christians and ex-Muslim apostates all over the world.

McConnell: We're Delaying Vacation In Order To Override Obama's Veto Of 9/11 Bill

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Congress passed legislation that would allow the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to file lawsuits against Saudi Arabia. The Obama White House threatened to veto it, despite overwhelming bipartisan support. Obama plans to veto the bill this Friday, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the upper chamber would remain in session, delaying their planned recess to hold a vote to override the veto (via The Hill):

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that the Senate will take up an expected veto override of legislation that lets families of 9/11 victims sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts before breaking for the elections. 

"Both of those we'll have to deal with before we depart," McConnell told reporters. 

The Senate is scheduled to be in session through early October, but lawmakers were hoping to leave town as soon as this week until after the election.

McConnell said Tuesday that it's "safe to say" the Senate will be in session next week.

Both bills passed the House and Senate through unanimous consent, with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) saying that he’s very confident they could muster the two-thirds majority to override the president’s veto.

NYC Mayor: Islamic terror “vanishingly rare,” calls for more Muslim migrants
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

How rare is “vanishingly” rare? What level of jihad terror is acceptable as far as de Blasio is concerned? If people were being poisoned by candy bars, and the candy bar company dismissed the incidence of poisoned bars as “vanishingly rare,” would you buy those candy bars? De Blasio would rather see New Yorkers murdered […]
