Get with the program or sit down.

I politely disagree. What we now call the Gulf of America was once a sea surrounded by Spanish territory from Cuba to the Yucatan, and farther South into the Caribbean Sea.

It should be called "El Golfo de Espana." Thats just me and I am right wing Maga.

I happened to be on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, hanging out in our rented condo after a big music festival weekend, chilling out, watching inauguration stuff, and saw Trump sign the EO live. So suddenly, I was hanging out on the Gulf of America!

I like that real well.

A few hours later, Desantis issued an EO proclaiming a state of emergency to be ready for the incoming Winter storm in the Panhandle counties. It referenced the Gulf of America! I cracked up!

He and his people were on top of it all, I have to give them credit.

I escaped Tuesday morning and drove thru flurries for a couple hours as I went NORTH to escape the storm. Panhandle in that area got 6” of snow and more! I made it back to ATL just ahead of all that. From the GULF OF AMERICA!

Ummm, what if it were a plane that went down in Nazi Germany during the war? Would it be wrong to use the term “Nazi Germany” to describe the event?

It is now called the Gulf of America - and I believe that makes sense because it’s borders are all part of North America - and a Mexican agent looking at my passport, for a trip to Cancun, once chastised me for calling myself an “American” because, he lived in North America and that made him an American too...so, by a Mexican’s argument, it really should be called the Gulf of America...except for historical events.
