Trump has won on ‘Gulf of America’. Both Google Maps and Apple Maps now show it as such.

I don’t like it. But for pretty minor and vague reasons. I usually just refer to it as ‘The Gulf’ , or ‘the gulf side’.


Renaming something after 400 years, that had no negative connotation is pettiness.

Cash for Afghanistan



Biden sends $100 million to Afghanistan.

US Admits Sending $40 Million Weekly to Afghanistan Amid Controversy

U.N. Has Flown More Than $2.9 Billion in Cash to Afghanistan Since the Taliban Seized Power, Diverting U.S. Funds



My guess is the deep state uses the opium for their global distribution network and then they use the proceeds to fund nefarious projects.

Like control Chicago's gangs, etc.

Including Big Pharma's cancer drive, so folks can die with less pain.


Another component could be there are thousands of Americans stranded there and it pays for their general safety.

That's big Pharma behind that. Afghanistan is where the drug companies get the vast majority of their opioids from and it has to be protected and controlled or they're screwed. The only way to do that is by giving them money. It's a small investment for what they get back in selling opioids to the public.

I don't understand why he did it. He said he did it to restore American Pride. Since it was never named anything except the Gulf of Mexico how does that restore anything. It's not like it was called the Gulf of America and somebody took it away from us. You can't restore something that was never there to begin with. And the next Democrat president is just going to change it back anyway and think they've accomplished something. The whole thing is ridiculous.

Two things make it easy to change back and forth. Paper maps are practically collector's items. Although people who make globes and also hard board maps have more work to do. And big areas of water don't usually have signage (as far as I know) "Now entering Gulf of Mexico" Welcome!"

Intended show of disrespect. They've shipped tens of millions of illegals and tons of drugs into the US over the past sixty years.

The day Biden was elected, they removed their 15,000 troops from the border and allowed 12 million illegals and tons of fentanyl to enter the US.

70,000 Americans die every year due to fentanyl.

Trump hasn't ruled out military action against the cartels.

He already has spy planes tracking them.

Should have been done 45 years ago.

Is there any type of an international body that decides what bodies of water are called. My assumption was that everybody just called it whatever they want.

I think there might be some body at the UN though it might or might not take hold. Who uses the name “Southern Ocean” for example.
