I don't really care either way. But if it drives the Leftists into fits and distracts them from more substantial issues, I am all for the technique of renaming places.

You think the mountain should be called Denali because itis the original native name?

That’s a myth. There are 8 or 9 tribes around there and they all had different names in their languages.

It is federal land and it was named after McKinley. It was the Alaskan legislature that wanted it changed for tourism reasons.

Trumps decision trumps the state legislature naming land that doesn’t belong to them.
