Gulf of America

Was watching the weather forecast this morning and the newscaster referred to a weather front comming in from the "gulf of mexico"----- by golly i had no clue what they were referring to.....maybe the "gulf of America "?

I suppose the same person might tell me how much snow is on Mt. Denali --- surely they actually mean Mount McKinley .....right?

What are your thoughts on the new

It's hard to keep up, things are being pencil ( sharpie) whipped so quick right now.

I would like to change the names of a few of our states ......

If He is for it, I'm all in….so far so GREAT

While I support most of his actions, name changing is not one. Fort Bragg should be Fort Bragg. Of course Mt. McKinley was called Denali and then renamed to Mt. McKinley and back. I guess it really doesn't matter much. A rose by any other name. I didn't vote for name changing, but securing the border- Yes Sir, drive on.

Before it was changed, someone would instantly give themselves away as a tourist if they called it McKinley. No one has called it that in forever. No one will regardless of the name change.

You are correct. Sort of like calling the Parks highway A4 or the Glenn highway A1.

The Exec order might as well say it's no longer the Seward Highway, it's now the Sea-word highway.

We are supposed to keep politics "low key" on LRH.

Y'all may be missing the point. Renaming is a work around to a political strangling of America's economy by "executive order". So there was an "executive order" undoing that strangle hold.

It's really that simple. By "executive order" no new drilling for oil in the "Gulf of Mexico" so rename it to "Gulf of America" and issue drilling permits.

I haven't figured out why Denali vs McKinley but it's probably energy based North Slope stuff?

Seems to reflect a reshaping of America's role as an nation in the world. Can see a few more on the horizon - the great states of Canada and Greenland, along with the American canal.

That's not how executive orders work. The new president can (and pretty much did) cancel all of the previous administration's orders. You don't need to get around anything.
Denali isn't anywhere near any oil.

McKinley was a great President and an honor to be remembered.

Perhaps it is some "law" but the point is, it's a work around so that leases and permits can be issued for the gulf.

America has more "energy" than anywhere else. Putin's wars are about "profit" from "energy". The gas pipelines, overland shipping and overwater shipping are the true reason for the "war". Take away Putin's "profit" by competing and ensuring an energy supply to our allies, war ends.

When America is a net energy exporter, inflation is lower, gas prices are lower, home heating is lower, the world is more economically stable, people like Putin have less power to invade other countries.

BTW: Putin says the "war" it is "to protect ethnic Russians". Then "Russian" ships having "accidental anchor drops" and cutting the power and communications cables between the "Icelandic" countries and Estonia is because Estonia is next after Crimea and Ukraine.

Ok. The more I think about it the more I remember that Alaska may have asked for the rename but I don't remember that well and I haven't researched it. I will be doing more reading regarding the reason Obama changed it.

Trump is a "conservative". Renaming by Obama this is not "conservativism" it is changing. If it was change for the sake of change, putting it back is conserving for the sake of conserving. It could also be putting it back to "snub" Obama but I doubt that because there is no advantage to the American people in snubbing a past president.

The next bit is tongue in cheek, not serious.

Be careful how far you take the "undo all" transgressions idea. You could be forced back to the south or forced back to Europe where your ancestors came from (remember it's a joke). Then we could of course take it all farther and make the descendants of those that crossed the land bridge go back to where they came from. Afterall those "first peoples" are responsible for wiping out the mammoths.

Along the lines of modern people "paying for" transgressions of the past. How come Spain gets a pass on racism. Spain was the first to bring people from Africa to the "new world". Spain brought the diseases that killed off most of the first peoples.

Perhaps it is some "law" but the point is, it's a work around so that leases and permits can be issued for the gulf.

It is not. He can do that all he wants with no need to rename anything.

Congress, in 2015, passed a law ending the almost complete ban on US oil exports. That was in place for 40 years. The largest amount of oil ever exported over a presidential term was in the last 4 years and it's not even close. I don't think either of those things comport with your idea here. If we were not exporting oil and producing it at the rate we are, oil would be very very cheap domestically.

Trump is a "conservative". Renaming by Obama this is not "conservativism" it is changing. If it was change for the sake of change, putting it back is conserving for the sake of conserving.

It was not for the sake of change. It was to put it as it always had been. There's a reason our Senators and Representatives, all R, have asked Trump not to change it. If you want to talk about conservation, this was not even close to it. This was literally nothing but *owning the libs*, except it wasn't because he doesn't actually understand it. To me it was just more edict from on high as we're ruled as a colony(mostly of Seattle, but DC should get bent to).
Also, It's not our fault Ohio sucks so much that there was nothing worth naming their crappy president after.

It's really not about past transgressions. It was to align it with what everyone, to very much include every white person, calls it. Unless they're an outsider. Yes, there was some liberal self flagellation with healing old wounds of natives, but that's not why no one ever has or will call it Mt. McKinley except the people on the trains and busses that drive past, never to really see much of anything.

On the colony part, I'm actually somewhat excited that we might be able to use our own resources(animals, minerals and oil/ng) now that the king will allow it. On the whole the executive orders were a very good thing for the state. If the name of that mountain was the cost of getting the funds to build the NG pipeline, he can name it anything he pleases.

President McKinley was my great grandfathers neighbor and good friend. They were both Irish, and they had a lot in common. I have been to the McKinley monument in Canton, Ohio many times when I was young. I personally have no dog in this hunt. I still call fort Bragg by it's former name.
