Right Side Patriots...Podcast Here's the podcast of last nights 'LIVE' radio broadcast where Craig & Diane discussed 'A Justice System Run Amok'; 'Sociopathy…The Pervasive Mindset of Liberalism'; Charlie Kirk's Memorial Service; Italy refuses to recognize a Palestinian state; and Russian fighter jets enter NATO airspace.

A few years ago former UN Ambassador, South Carolina Governor, and 2020 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley stated that, “When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action.”
And take our own actions we should if for no other reason than the monies we give to help fund the UN is disproportionately out of line with what our fellow member nations contribute. Remember, the U.S. has and remains the UN's largest financial contributor, and has been so since its founding in 1945. In fact, in 2023...Read entire article here.
Politically siding with terrorists is one thing...as bad as it is...but to officially recognize them as a UN voting member “state” gives said terrorists both legitimacy and a worldwide platform by which to spew their nefarious cause, which in this case is to wipe the Jewish State of Israel off the map. And this has led me to also think about not just how the UN outwardly favors both those who commit terrorist acts...especially those terrorist acts committed against Israel...but how certain of our fellow UN members and NATO allies...most specifically France, the UK, and Canada...are now threatening to reward terrorists with their UN vote if Israel does not acquiesce to their specific set of demands in a misguided attempt at appearing relevant in the discourse regarding so called Palestinian statehood.
And while we're at it we need to take another look at NATO as well for they, like the UN, so relish in taking what they can from us, but delivering little to nothing in return. And when the UN and NATO are coupled together it seems apparent to me that new alliances and friendships need to be forged.
Also, in the UN's failing to abide by their aforementioned founding principle, we find the world today so far away from “universal peace” that we are actually skirting on the precipice of World War III. And with the UN having done nothing of substance to help defuse what are dangerous regional conflicts, it's my opinion that the UN's upcoming September meeting regarding Palestinian statehood actually fuels the flames that are the fires of war.
And take our own actions we should if for no other reason than the monies we give to help fund the UN is disproportionately out of line with what our fellow member nations contribute. Remember, the U.S. has and remains the UN's largest financial contributor, and has been so since its founding in 1945. In fact, in 2023 alone...the latest posted numbers...shows that we contributed close to $13 billion to the UN which accounts for more than a quarter of their collective budget. And while every member nation is required to help fund the UN, President Trump recently called for a review of our funding based upon the fact that the UN has either been unable or simply unwilling to help solve or even help temper down any of the ongoing conflicts, while their overt in-your-face biases help to initiate, feed, or extend said conflicts.
Just imagine what $13 billion per year could do to help alleviate some of the problems/issues we currently face here at home. And if for that reason alone we have every right to turn our back and walk away from the very organization that does envision us...as do the terrorists and terror supporting nations...to be the “big Satan.”
And it's this very fear that helps weaken that which is the very fabric of NATO itself, while at the same time causes us to wonder if fear itself makes for strong and dependable camaraderie. And in my opinion, the way certain nation's leaders are acting I say it does not. And when coupled with what has become our disproportionate monetary and military responsibility, it has left me wondering if NATO and its headaches are worth us being a part of it anymore.
So if we actually did leave the UN what would the outcome be? First, the UN would continue on for a given period of time, but most likely with much less relevancy and influence then they currently have or believe to have. The UN would in losing us as its prime money pit, also see its operational budget taking the biggest hit while terrorist supporting, anti-western“rogue nations,” start moving into the seats of power that we and certain of our allies once held, as those countries aligning with us would probably leave as well. And the “bad actors” who would now be in charge would, in time, collapse what is left of the UN from within...as the UN would have officially become not an instrument of peace nor of one supporting human rights let alone equality.
And as for the actual physical aspect of our exiting the UN, besides the monies saved now being able to be used here at home, some foolishly do believe that we might actually turn isolationists, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Why so...because I believe we would immediately start forming new alliances that would help to counter or at least combat the negative spheres of influence that would be the hallmark of what would be the UN minus the U.S.
Now as for us leaving NATO, besides the monetary aspects of dollars saved (which is upwards of $500 billion per year) is the fact that while NATO was legally established as per our Constitutional requirements, today's NATO operates under what is called “collective defense principles”...“principals” that when signed on April 4,1949 did align with our national security interests, but do not with our “America First” interests today.
Simply, it's time for Europe to start taking care of itself, especially now that Europe has already, to some degree, acquiesced to acts of terrorism becoming it's new norm. And besides, when three key UN and NATO members...as in France, the UK, and Canada...when the same three U.S, allies...actually threaten to side against the U.S. and Israel by rewarding terrorist acts, it really is time for us to exit what have become two no longer functional organizations.
And so the “red lines” have been drawn...either one stands with the U.S. or with those who wish us all dead. Case closed.

...Also, know that extremism and terrorism have shown not to have any place in “compromise”...in
fact both are the antithesis thereof...with but one exception
now being that the Hamas initiated war with Israel must immediately
come to an end via Hamas issuing what is a full and “unconditional
surrender,” for in their not doing so they, not Israel, are the
root cause of even more innocent Palestinian lives being lost. Why
so...because only when Hamas surrenders will the Israeli bombing
stop; only when Hamas surrenders will humanitarian aide be able to
freely enter Gaza; and only when Hamas surrenders will the
Palestinian people be able to even start thinking about a future minus all the
conflict and hate their leaders and their loyalists have created.
Remember, it's self-serving political
leaders and dictators...the hallmark of what has now become known as
“geo-political actors”...that benefit personally from war
whether said war be either an internal or external conflict. And the
wars they fight are for self glorification and for the condensing of
power which in turn expands and thus solidifies their control over
the masses. And the biggest losers in war remains as it has always
been, as in the innocent victims...“collateral damage” as
they are sometimes referred to...who have no means by which to fight
back. Sway the masses to your...Read entire article and see videos here.
As the Israeli/Hamas War shows little sign of abating anytime soon, we see some in the misguided “court of public opinion” trying to portray Israel's continuing response to the October 7th terrorist attack by Hamas as now being in “over kill” mode. But nothing could be further from the truth for Israel has exposed for all to see...that is if one does indeed seek truth...just how little Hamas cares even about their own fellow Palestinians.
Hiding rockets, bombs, arms, and munitions in schools and hospitals...which Hamas knows are in areas teeming with civilians, also means that Hamas also knows that “collateral damage” is sure to come and on a grand scale, as even they know that Israel has every right to target for reprisals areas and buildings from where said weapons were launched. But Hamas doesn't care, and why would they as they willingly use both Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages as disposable “human shields.” Actually, what these actions of Hamas has shown to the world is that they are abject cowards of the very worst kind. And the word “coward” itself should be but an acronym for Hamas, for only cowards pray upon those they know cannot defend themselves.
And even with Hamas' publicity garnering tears over Palestinian lives lost...again lives they actually care nothing about...one can see that their final goal remains but a replay of Hitler's “final solution.” And they care less that history itself has shown that war is never a problem's solution...the only true solution remains in securing a lasting peace. But if lasting peace is ever to be achieved between Israel and the entirety of it's Arab neighbors...peace that goes beyond just the 'on paper' recognizing of Israel's right to exist...all sides must be willing to have not only an open-minded and civilized dialogue, but an exchange of ideas which includes having the willingness to “compromise”...at least to some degree...in the name of peace if need be.
Remember, it's self-serving political leaders and dictators...the hallmark of what has now become known as “geo-political actors”...that benefit personally from war whether said war be either an internal or external conflict. And the wars they fight are for self glorification and for the condensing of power which in turn expands and thus solidifies their control over the masses. And the biggest losers in war remains as it has always been, as in the innocent victims...“collateral damage” as they are sometimes referred to...who have no means by which to fight back. Sway the masses to your side, keep them inline with iron-fist polices that allow for no deviation, and those few who do dissent become voices not heard nor cared about.
“There is no difference between Hamas and Palestinian people.”
When Hamas...who began as a spin-off of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and who believes the killing of Jews to be a rightful “Holy War”...took control of the Gaza Strip after their 2006 election defeat of their political rival “Fatah,” any semblance of sanity that the somewhat more moderate PLO had to offer the Palestinians was thrown by the wayside. And the Palestinians in Gaza knew well that those they were casting their vote for were but a terrorist gang of thugs, thieves, and hoodlums who relished in serving themselves at the expense of the needs of the people. And the people also knew that Hamas was serving as the area's Iranian proxy...a proxy whose goal was and remains the total elimination of the Jewish State of Israel.
And as Joe Biden keeps twisting the knife deeper into Israel's back by his calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terrorists, the fact remains that the Israeli/Hamas War will continue on until in the end there will either be peace or the war will grow until one side is forced to annihilate the other. Better now for all concerned that a permanent solution be found...a solution acceptable to all parties, but it must be a solution that includes a now and forever abandonment of all calls for islamic jihad against the Jewish State of Israel.
This means that what some call a “two-state” solution solely within the boundaries of Israel is a permanent “no go” as is also an idea being floated that the Palestinians receive citizenship under either one state or a confederation of states with Israel then being their “overseer” of sorts. But I say an unequivocal “no” to this idea for it's time those who call themselves Palestinians...or in some cases Gazans...learn to succeed or fail on their own accord, and let the consequences of their actions be carried by them alone.
And besides, it's well past time for the Palestinians fellow Arabs to collectively not only take care of but take responsibility for, the very people whose bloodline they share.
Bitter thoughts, upsetting thoughts, yet thoughts we all need to think long and hard about for the fact remains that without peace it well could come to what, for now, thankfully remains the unthinkable.
May the light of everlasting peace help to extinguish the fires of hate. Case closed.
***************************************************************************
"Israelis do not
need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders." 
Fact: the only obstacles to any real peace in the Middle
East is both the refusal of the ‘so-called’ Palestinians and their supporters to
recognize Israel's right to exist, and the sad reality that the Obama
administration coupled with his cronies in the U.N. have not only sided with and
directly aided Israel’s enemies but have colluded with said enemies to bring
about the Jewish state’s demise. 
Now leaving the four anti-Semitic, anti-Israel countries of New Zealand,
Senegal, Venezuela, and Malaysia to do the dirty work....and do the dirty work they did leading up to the fact that this
past Wednesday, in his last press conference as Secretary of State, John ‘Swiftboat’
Kerry...a well-known anti-Semite and an integral part of pushing through Obama’s
very bad nuclear deal... spewed words of hate towards Israel for 70 long minutes
as he defended the U.N. vote...a vote that included making Judaism’s holiest
site, the Western Wall, part of Palestinian occupied territory...and defended
Obama’s stance on the Jewish state. And so with his usual deadpan look of
disgust that he always has when speaking about Israel or about anything Jewish
related, Kerry began with words to the effect that no administration has done
more to protect Israel’s security than has the Obama administration.
Kerry then started ripping into Israel...into
Netanyahu...for his and their settlement building. But the most vile of words spewing
from Kerry’s mouth came a bit later when he said that Israel can either accept a
two-state solution or, and I quote, "If
the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic, it cannot
be both, and it won't ever really be at peace.” 
These words led Benjamin Netanyahu to push back and push
back hard. In a blistering and hastily arranged televised statement coming just
one hour after Kerry finished his hateful words, Netanyahu clearly alluded to
the fact that he was not happy with Obama or his administration, that he and
Israel are committed to resolving issues with the Palestinians only through direct
contact not through U.S. brokered contact, and that he was ready to deal solely
with President-elect Donald Trump, a man who has sided in total with Israel...a
man who understands that the incitement of violence perpetrated by the Palestinians
against the people of Israel is of their doing alone.
And U.S. pro-Israel groups...groups once in Obama’s camp...have
now started chastising both Obama and Kerry for this most vile and deliberate slap in
the face to Israel. In fact, in a statement coming right after the vote, AIPAC (the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee) stated it was “deeply disturbed by the failure of the Obama Administration to
exercise its veto to prevent a destructive, one-sided, anti-Israel resolution
from being enacted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). In the past,
this administration and past administrations have rejected this type of biased
resolution since it undermines prospects for peace.”
And in calling Kerry’s speech in specific nothing but a “failed attempt to defend the indefensible,”
AIPAC said that contrary to Kerry’s claims that, “the [Obama] administration
unconscionably failed to block [last week] was unfair, unbalanced and
represented a profound departure from the policies of previous Democratic and
Republican administrations for nearly the past forty years,” they made it very clear that this resolution was a deliberate and malicious move on both the U.N.'s and Obama's part to rein in Israel and most especially to rein in Netanyahu.
And New
York Senator Chuck Schumer, the incoming Senate Democratic leader, in criticizing
the U.N. vote stated that he is “Extremely
frustrating, disappointing and confounding that the Administration has failed
to veto the UN resolution.” As for Kerry’s speech Schumer issued this
statement: “While Secretary Kerry
mentioned Gaza in his speech, he seems to have forgotten the history of the
settlements in Gaza, where the Israeli government forced settlers to withdraw
from all settlements and the Palestinians responded by sending rockets from
Gaza into Israel...this is something that people of all political stripes in
Israel vividly remember...While he may not have intended it, I fear Secretary
Kerry, in his speech and action at the UN, has emboldened extremists on both
sides."
