My column for the Weekly Standard has been posted: "Trouble At Turtle Bay." As much as the U.N. has been in the news lately, it is remarkable how little attention has been paid to the organization's proposed $1.2 billion headquarters renovation project, to be financed by American taxpayers. The funny thing--well, not so funny in view of the U.N.'s history--is that no one can figure out why the project should cost even half that much money. Donald Trump says there are only two possible explanations for the U.N.'s budget: fraud and incompetence. Read all about it, the U.N. scandal that hasn't yet hit the radar screen, but should, and soon.
