A pair of constitutionalist lawmakers have introduced legislation that would get the United States out of the United Nations and kick the globalist body off American soil.
U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) have introduced in their respective chambers the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, which ends all U.S. support of, and participation in, the UN.
“No more blank checks for the United Nations. Americans' hard-earned dollars have been funneled into initiatives that fly in the face of our values –enabling tyrants, betraying allies, and spreading bigotry,” said Lee.
“With the DEFUND Act, we're stepping away from this debacle. If we engage with the UN in the future, it will be on our terms, with the full backing of the Senate and an iron-clad escape clause,” Lee added
“This year, the United Nations' corruption, and its despicable, brazen political agenda have been on full display,” said Roy.
“From UNRWA actively protecting Hamas and acting against our ally Israel, delayed condemning Hamas, to China being elected to the “Human Rights Council,” to the propagation of climate hysteria, covering for China's forced abortion and sterilization programs, the UN's decades-old, internal rot once again raises the questions of why the United States is even still a member or why we're wasting billions — indeed, $12.5 billion in 2021 — every year on it,” said Roy
“The UN doesn't deserve one single dime of American taxpayer money or one bit of our support; we should defund it and leave immediately. I am proud to lead this critical effort alongside Mike Lee and Mike Rogers,” said Roy.
The bill is similar to the original American Sovereignty Restoration Act, originally introduced by Texas Congressman Ron Paul, and recently reintroduced by Rogers, an Alabama congressman.
According to Lee, the DEFUND Act:
* Repeals critical acts that bind the U.S. to the UN, such as the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and the United Nations Headquarters Agreement Act.
* Ceases all forms of U.S. financial support to the UN, including assessed and voluntary contributions.
* Prohibits any U.S. involvement in UN peacekeeping operations.
* Revokes diplomatic immunity for UN officials within the United States.
* Formalizes withdrawal from the World Health Organization and other UN conventions.
* Sets stringent conditions for any future engagement with the UN, requiring Senate approval with explicit withdrawal provisions.

Will Trump Dump JD Vance?
ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
