They are very sneaky. We have to be vigilant all the time.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!

Names - geography

If you are still calling The Gulf of America, The Gulf of Mexico, you are way behind the times.

Before the Spanish Conquistadors took it over by force, it was called Tenochtitlan.

If you refer to the island of Haiti as Haiti, you should know that it was first called Ayiti by its existing population upon the arrival of Spanish Explorers.

They renamed it Hispaniola for Spain.

The French renamed it Saint Domingue for France (Santo Domingo in Spanish).

The present name, Haiti kind of returns the name to the original, Ayiti.

If you insist on using the name Greenland, know that it was originally called Kalaallit Nunaat, which does not mean Green Land.

In similar fashion, Byzantium became Constantinople, became Istanbul.

Zambia was Rhodesia. Ukraine was Kievan Rus’. Columbia was New Granada.

Even The Americas (North and South) are named after an Italian guy in a boat who was out and about to claim land for Spain and Portugal.

And his name wasn’t even America.

So, about the Gulf. Take your choice, folks. You may prefer Golfo de Nueva EspaƱa. I choose The Gulf of Amerigo.
