President-elect Donald Trump said he would rename North America's tallest mountain reversing a change made by former President Obama while he was in office. Speaking at a conservative TurningPoints USA conference in Phoenix, the 78-year-old said he would rename Alaska's Mount Denali to Mount McKinley after the 25th president. 'They took his name off Mount McKinley,' Trump told supporters on Sunday. He praised McKinley as a 'great president' and said his administration would bring back the name Mount McKinley 'because I think he deserves it.' It comes after Obama sided with the state of Alaska in the long-running dispute over the highest mountain peak's name in 2015 and had it changed

It's going to be a full time job renaming all the woke new names for stuff and untoppling statues. I absolutely agree with the sentiment but at some point, it's tilting at windmills. Bigger fish to fry, Donald, let's hope this culture war is organically advanced by administrative wins.

I hope all the name changes in recent years can be reversed. Some sites in our area were given silly names that no one can pronounce.

Excellent news! Once you get started, President Trump, you keep going. Shoot, just replacing all the statues the commies tore down could provide a considerable number of jobs nationwide. They could also emblazon the new statues with "Made in America"! It's about time these commie fools, and their idiotic ideology, are shown the door. That is, you don't like it? Maybe you ought to move to a country that is more befitting your lunacy.

I really don’t care about any of this (Canada, Greenland, Mt. McKinley/Denali) except that it trolls the left big time and makes their heads explode. That alone is worth it. I would like to have the Panama Canal back, though. I remember when our worthless peanut farmer of a president gave it away. That was one of many low points of that grinning fool’s presidency.

I spent a week in Denali National Park last year and referred to the mountain as Mt. McKinley in every possible conversation. And I still refer to Lake Calhoun whenever passing through the Twin Cities of Mogadishu-Mohammed. Someone on this forum once defined Minnesota Nice as 'being so open-minded that your brains often fall out'. Seems even more accurate now that the world has met their governor!

If anyone in the future cares enough to write an authentic history of the 2024 presidential campaign, they might begin by noting that American politics exists downstream of American culture, which is a deep and broad river. Like any river, American culture follows a particular path, which has been reconfigured at key moments by new technologies. In turn, these technologies, which redefine both space and time—canals and lakes, the postal system, the telegraph, railroads, radio and later television, the internet, and most recently the networking of billions of people in real time on social media platforms—set the rules by which stories are communicated, audiences are configured, and individuals define themselves.

Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said.

Someone acting for the president just made a decision that only a president can make and commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row out of a sense of someone's moral imperative. The Office of the President of the United States of America announced the commutations early Monday morning of Christmas week. A statement issued by the White House said the president was "guided by my conscience" to commute the death penalties for some of the worst of the worst offenders in America.

Matt Gaetz had hoped to avoid public disclosure of the results of the House Ethics Committee investigation into numerous allegations of corruption and wrongdoing. His successful attack on Kevin McCarthy's Speakership came in part because McCarthy refused to quash the probe. Gaetz clearly intended to use the strange sequence this past month where Gaetz resigned his office just after winning another House term in order to force the committee to seal the results. Instead, the Ethics Committee voted to publish its final report on Gaetz. Before they could do that, though, it leaked to a number of news outlets this morning

As drone sightings over New Jersey continue to raise questions, a new tool could bring answers about the source of these flying vehicles — if the government could get it off the ground. Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began requiring all unmanned aircraft systems to be equipped with Remote ID technology, which makes every equipped drone uniquely identifiable to authorities, like a license plate on a car. The FAA announced that it would provide a database that could be accessed by local law enforcement, but nearly one year later, local authorities still can't get into it themselves.
