I'm confused. Has Judicial Watch ever gotten the records?

Renaming the Gulf, if done by someone on the other side, would be stereotypical feel-good BS that is a distraction from what needs to be done.

Trump does incredible things, and sometimes misfires. This seems like a misfire (and the cost of changing every map, chart, government article, manual etc etc isn’t insignificant either).

I like Trump's idea of renaming the Gulf but maybe Gulf of the Americas would be more acceptable to the world in general.

OMG do you still not understand how Trump is simply trolling the Left?

It's like you just met this guy for the first time, LMAO!

Yes Trump is trolling the left but I wondered if the renaming might be a get around for defeating the ex order that limp dick just made to stop drilling in the gulf of mecheco.

3D chess level trolling. Advanced trolling at a level never seen before.

The Canadiens prove they've fallen for it.

That’s kind of the point. Trudeau is gone, help the dude who is going to be an ally (PP) instead of hurting him.

The leftists heads are exploding all over the place. Greenland, Canada and the Gulf. They are taking everything on face value and screeching at the top of their lungs. What a time to be alive Big Grin

I realize he's just trolling, but that does bring up a question in my mind... Who has the authority to do something like rename the Gulf? Doesn't seem like it's just up to one country to do so.

Now back to the fun! Big Grin

Maybe the maps will change to "Gulf of the Americas (formerly Gulf of Mexico)"

If FJBs drilling moratorium applies to the Gulf of Mexico, and you rename it Gulf of Americas, maybe the moratorium applies to an entity that no longer exists. In law a rose of another name may not be a rose.

FOMC Minutes Show 'Almost All' Fed Members See Higher Inflation Risks, Cite Trump Policies
Roll Eyes

So the Fed is not reactive (even when inflation is biting it in the ass), but is PROACTIVELY hostile toward the policy of a president it disagrees with even if said policy doesn't even exist?

* * *

Since The Fed's last meeting (Dec 18th) where they issued a 'hawkish cut', bonds and stocks have been dumped while crude and gold have strengthened along with the dollar...

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Rand Paul and his buddies need to pull their head out of their ass's and get Pres. Trump started off on the right foot. Spending cuts be damned right now. Pass the fucking bill. Piss's me off. Yeah I get the spending. But cuts and growth will come. Our Military needs reworked. Get over yourself Paul. I am sick of his shit.

I think that was our justification for pulling out of the ABM Treaty. The Soviet Union no longer existed and that's who signed the treaty with us.

If you guys remember what was going on around 1989-1991, there were a ton of new country names on the map. I still have visa stamps in an old passport from countries everyone knows, but were called something else back then.

Mexico disperses migrant caravans heading to US ahead of Trump inauguration

The Mexican government is working hard to break up migrant caravans trying to make the treacherous journey north to the U.S. ahead of President-elect Trump’s inauguration in less than two weeks' time.

Faced with the prospect of massive tariffs on goods under the new administration, Mexico has been dispersing migrants throughout the country to keep them far from the U.S. border, including dropping them off at the once vibrant tourist hotspot of Acapulco, a beach resort town on Mexico's Pacific coast made famous by the jet set in the 1950s and ’60s.

Once a crown jewel of Mexico's tourism industry, the city now suffers under the thumb of organized crime and is still struggling to climb back after taking a direct hit from powerful Hurricane Otis in 2023. It now has one of Mexico's highest rates of homicides.

Yet authorities are dropping busloads of migrants there with little support and few options.

The Mexican government has embraced a policy of "dispersion and exhaustion" to reduce the number of migrants reaching the U.S. border. Authorities let migrants walk for days until they're exhausted and then offer to bus them to various cities where they say their immigration status will be reviewed.

The migrants tell The Associated Press that they accepted an offer from immigration officials to come to the city under the premise that they could continue their journey north toward the U.S. border, but instead they have essentially been abandoned there.

On Monday, desperate migrants could be seen sleeping in the streets in tents and say they fear Mexico's drug cartels could target them for kidnapping and extortion, though many migrants say authorities extort them, too.

"Immigration (officials) told us they were going to give us a permit to transit the country freely for 10, 15 days and it wasn't like that," 28-year-old Venezuelan Ender Antonio Castañeda told The Associated Press. "They left us dumped here without any way to get out. They won't sell us (bus) tickets. They won't sell us anything."

Castañeda is one of thousands of other migrants who have left the southern city of Tapachula near the Guatemalan border in recent weeks in the hope of crossing the Mexican border into the U.S. before Trump takes office.

It would take an adult migrant about 16 days of non-stop walking to get to the most southern point of the U.S. border, which is at the crossing at Matamoros, near Brownsville, Texas. Migrants prefer traveling in caravans because they believe there is safety in numbers as it is hard or impossible for immigration agents to detain large groups of hundreds of migrants.

Trump has threatened Mexico with a 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico, and the country hopes the lower numbers will give them some defense from Trump's pressures.

Trump is expected to clamp down heavily on illegal crossings, which have soared under the Biden-Harris administration. He has also vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in the history of the U.S. and has appointed hardliner South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to serve as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), while Tom Homan will be the new "Border Czar."

Additionally, Trump has also pledged to end the use of parole programs by the Biden administration that allow migrants to enter via the expanded "lawful pathways

On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his threat in a press briefing where he also said he would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

"Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country. They can stop them. And we’re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada, too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers, record numbers. So we’re going to make up for that by putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, substantial tariffs," he said.

What another country’s immigration agency promises people is entirely up to them

Our immigration agency makes no such promise and that app that everyone is using to cheat the system needs to be eliminated.
