    Default Nikki Haley pulls the U.S. out of U.N. Human Rights Council

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley deliver the verdict in a joint appearance at the State Department

    Haley says organization has 'chronic bias against Israel' and that its members including Cuba and China have themselves been accused of rights violations

    Haley threatened the pull-out last year, citing longstanding U.S. complaints that the 47-member council is biased against Israel

    Tuesday's announcement comes day after U.N. human rights chief denounced the Trump administration for separating migrant children from their parents

    Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called move 'an unequivocal sign that enough is enough'

    Hanging raped women, gays and children in Iran is a human rights issue as well, but when did the UN ever talk about that? Some of the most despotic regimes on the planet sit on the UNHCR mainly so they can control the flow of information and prevent criticism of their vile regimes.

    So Israel should erect a wall along the Gaza border immediately, that will stop future incursions.

    You want nicer concentration camps? Dream on! The leadership of the Warsaw Ghetto Rising was pretty bloody-minded, as the earlier Nazis said!

    I sent a really nice fresh one down river for my Southern Scott Pruitt friends ...

    Not too Hard, Not too Soft, but Just Ripe.

    Don't forget to wash it down with some nice Warm Lemonade looking treat.

    Enjoy ....

    Of course they don't, that's how the tunnel millionaires became rich. Hama's love to send children down to build them as well, that's when there not sending to the border as cannon fodder
