The U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday announced the deployment of personnel and equipment to various maritime borders in the United States, a day after President Donald Trump dismissed the military branch's leader.

In a statement, Coast Guard Acting Commandant Adm. Kevin Lunday said coast guardsmen would work to detect and deter illegal migration in support of Trump's executive orders issued this week.

"The U.S. Coast Guard is the world’s premiere maritime law enforcement agency, vital to protecting America’s maritime borders, territorial integrity and sovereignty," Lunday said. "Per the President’s Executive Orders, I have directed my operational commanders to immediately surge assets—cutters, aircraft, boats and deployable specialized forces—to increase Coast Guard presence and focus…"

I like that they are already using "Gulf of America".

I still think it should be called the Gulf of Texas but I guess “America” will do.

[Resolute Conservative]

Winning. For so long the dims controlled the narrative with their F’uped language. Now we have someone who knows how to frame things in the proper context.

[metmom]

Winning feels so good!

Adults are back in charge.

[NeverTyranny]

Score!

Me too, it has a nice ring to it. Waiting for the American Canal in Panama to become widely used.

That is why they had to move quickly to get rid of the former DEI boss.

She would have sabotaged the mission.

I'm taking this to say that the Coast Guard had been stood down, not performing their core mission tasks. Damn - that needs to be looked into. The FJB regime had us very wide open. Like a whole lot of other questionable activities.

I like my Gulf of America, it has a nice ring to it.

I was thinking Gulf of Florida...
or the Cajun Sea.

[ansel12]

I’m still trying to figure out some way to work “Texas” into this Greenland thing.

"I like my Gulf of America, it has a nice ring to it."

Yes it does!

[NorthMountain]

I still think it should be called the Gulf of Texas but Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida might not be too happy about that. Especially Florida, which has twice as many miles of mainland Gulf of America coastline as Texas.

IMHO

Gulf of the America’s & Denali (The tall one).

[Arcadian Empire]

President Trump has been in command for two days and he has already Made The Coast Guard Great Again.

[Arcadian Empire]

I love that Gulf of America is real.

[Dr. Sivana]

I’m still trying to figure out some way to work “Texas” into this Greenland thing.

How about "North Texas", or "Texas Island"?

[ansel12]

That works for me.
