At least four (more!) reasons SC Governor Nikki
Haley as UN Ambassador makes me nervous by
Ann Corcoran 12/7/16
In addition to the fact that Haley
snubbed constituents worried about the newly expanded refugee resettlement program
when it arrived in South Carolina two years ago, here is an article in the Post & Courier (Charleston, SC)
about Haley arriving in DC to meet with many on the Hill who will have to
confirm her as Donald Trump’s Ambassador to the United Nations. The article
contains a bunch of red flags for me! See my previous post, here.
Yikes! She will be in DC
to get the annual award at the Kemp Leadership Award dinner.
Post & Courier: He [deputy chief of staff] said she would already be in Washington,
D.C., on Wednesday to attend the Kemp Leadership Award Dinner.
Haley is receiving the conservative organization’s annual award in
recognition of “exceptional leadership in public policy or private enterprise
in advancing the American Idea.”
Kemp, conservative on economics, was
an open borders advocate. See here at VDARE in 2014 ‘The
Strange Rebirth of Jack Kemp Republicanism.’ VDARE also tells us in that same
article that Rep. Paul Ryan worked for a think-tank created to promote Kemp’s
ideas and considered Kemp a mentor!
Rep. Paul Ryan is leading Republican efforts to pass Amnesty in the
House of Representatives. Ryan actually worked for Kemp at Empower America (a
now defunct and largely unremembered think-tank) and cites him as a mentor. And, today! Haley is getting a big award in Kemp’s memory!
The Post & Courier goes on to report that she will visit with Tennessee Senator
Bob Corker (Mr. Iran deal!) who (like Haley) has done nothing to slow the flow
of refugees to his state and has also snubbed constituents concerned with the
influx of Somali and other Muslim refugees to the state.
On Tuesday afternoon, Senate Foreign
Relations Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said he anticipated talking with Haley
in the days ahead. “I had a very constructive conversation with her when she was appointed
and look forward to talking to her this week,” Corker said.
Continuing with the report in
the Post & Courier, we learn she is meeting with the man she really
preferred as President, Senator Marco Rubio, who we know will forever be known
as one of the Gang of Eight which attempted to get amnesty through
Congress while Obama was President.
During her visit this week, she will likely meet with other members of
the Foreign Relations Committee, including U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who
Haley endorsed for president during the Republican primary. She could also drop in on the offices of some Democrats,
such as the committee’s ranking member, U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland.
And, Cardin is about as far left as
anyone in the Senate, what could she possibly say to him to make him not oppose
her (that is what scares me, what will she say!).
And the final nail in her coffin
from my point of view is her close relationship to Lindsey (Bring’em all in)
Graham. In 2015, before Obama opened the Syrian floodgates, Graham was
introducing legislation to do just that, see here.
Post & Courier continues: Recently, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he
looked forward to introducing Haley to his colleagues when the time came for
her to come to Washington to make the rounds. So much for draining the swamp!
I admit Trump is a lot smarter than I am, but I still
don’t get this pick for the United Nations, unless reining-in the UN/US
Refugee Admissions Program is NOT a top agenda item. If Trump wanted a woman, two
tough loyal candidates
come to mind: Gov. Sarah Palin and
former Rep. Michele Bachmann,
who would not have taken one second of politically-correct crap from the likes
of Antonio Guterres. Or, any pressure from the all- powerful Organization
of Islamic Cooperation!
One of my readers suggested this job
is a “nothing-burger” job, and I respectfully disagree! We will be keeping a
close watch on Turtle Bay when Haley gets there.

I will be
watching this as well. The UN deserves to be disbanded, but first we need to
bring back jobs by ending excessive immigration and unnecessary regulations and
lowering taxes. We are committed to
quitting the UN Climate scam, so let’s see how they handle that.
