    Google said it would change the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for users inside the United States once the Interior Department officially changes what it calls the body of water in its official naming system.
    People in Mexico will continue to see the Gulf of Mexico name, while those outside both countries will see both names, Google said Monday in a post on X.

                I've never been swimming in the Gulf of America, but when I went to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico and swam around, I got a fungal ear infection. I double that'll be a problem anymore.

                      I saw a map today designating the northern portion of the Gulf of Mexico as

                      Golfo del Gringo Loco

                                  I need time to process my emotions, thinking about everybody that has jon and Phibes blocked, never seeing that video. There is too much unfairness in this world. It breaks my heart.

                                  And yet the Democrats do nothing.

                                    There is too much unfairness in this world.

                                    By using that word “unfairness” you’re beginning to sound more like a Trumpigulacrat than the decent and respectful Rand Paul style libertarian Republican you actually aspire to be.
