On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz stated that having U.N. backing on sanctions on Iran has been helpful and sometimes other countries “need that stamp of international law” to do things, “So, we can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we are cleaning house at these U.N. institutions.” Waltz said, “[S]ome of these committees are just unreformable. It’s why we’re not participating, it’s why we’ve walked away from, for example, the Human Rights Council. … However, where President Trump does see potential — and back to…

Seriously, this is nuts, but this is what you get when you give Democrats veto-proof majorities over your state. See if you can follow this… Refined gasoline is being shipped out of the United States thousands of miles to the Bahamas… And then it is shipped from the Bahamas to the failed state of California. “Shipments on the circuitous route are increasing. California imported more gasoline…

Western Europe remains willfully blind to its own mistakes of the past two decades, choosing to escalate crises and blame others What a relief, it’s over. This year’s Munich Security Conference (MSC) has ended.In reality, the meeting has never had much to do with increasing anyone’s security. Otherwise, its Western participants would, for instance, not have laughed at the warning Russian President Vladimir Putin issued there as far back as 2007; taking it seriously could have spared the world – and Ukraine – the current de facto war between the West and Russia via Ukraine.Almost two decades ago now, while Russia…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz said that China is making a large push for control of U.N. institutions and “If we just walk away from all of these U.N. institutions, then China’s going to be there with the rest of the world without us.” And “My argument is, we have to get in there and reform and fight, and, particularly where the People’s Republic of China is incredibly active for their industries, rather than just walk away.” Waltz stated, “[T]o my foxhole in the U.N. — which…

Some sheriffs in Maryland are vowing to continue working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in defiance of their Democrat governor. Gov. Wes Moore (D) is expected to sign a bill banning official agreements between local police and the federal agency, but the move may get some pushback, the Baltimore Sun reported Sunday. The bill may end 287(g) agreements, which eight Maryland counties currently have, according to CBS News. “The state currently allows two different types of 287(g) agreements. One that allows correctional officers to flag noncitizens to ICE and detain them for 48 hours, and another that allows…
