A couple of weeks ago I wrote up former U.S. ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley's parting shot at the United Nations.
I spoke too soon. It's clear that Haley is still taking the assembly to task for its anti-Israel agenda.

Here's what the private citizen had to say about the UN after it elected Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas to represent as the leader of the Group of 77. The bloc, which was originally made up of 77 member states, has grown to 134 member states, and represents at least 80 percent of the world’s population, as the Jewish Telegraphic Agency explained.

Embarrassing for the UN membership that they would elect a non member to represent and chair all of the G77 countries. This sort of coddling of the Palestinians is another way to keep them from coming to the negotiating table and is the reason the UN is not taken seriously. https://t.co/jmchLcl6Di

Florida Governor to Blacklist Airbnb for Boycotting Jewish State

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

This shows how much elections matter. Airbnb is advancing and norming a racist, genocidal movement.This is exactly how horrors such as the Holocaust begin. First the delegitimization of the Jewish state and the dehumanization of the Jews. The boycott, divest and sanction Israel movement is no different from the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

The German boycott of Jewish businesses in the lead-up to the Holocaust was the direct antecedent to the whole “boycott Israel” movement.

THE STATE OF THE UNION IS NOT SHUT DOWN: The Trump administration and Republicans are pushing back on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suggestion that President Trump delay his upcoming State of the Union address because of the partial government shutdown ... The president is slated to deliver his televised annual address to a Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 29. But with no compromise in sight to resolve the standoff over government funding for Trump's proposed border wall -- a stalemate that is in its fourth week, with the impact deepening for furloughed federal workers and others -- Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested in a letter that Trump put those plans on hold, speak from the Oval Office rather than Capitol Hill, or submit the address in writing. The House speaker also cited concern over whether a partially closed government could provide proper security for the address — but was quickly rebuked.
Though President Trump and the White House did not immediately respond to Pelosi, Republicans accused Pelosi of playing politics. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise tweeting that Democrats are "only interested in obstructing @realDonaldTrump, not governing." Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen denied anyone's safety would be compromised, saying that both Homeland Security Department and Secret Service "are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union."
