Pallisades Reservoir Dry

Pacific Palisades Reservoir Found Empty and Offline During Firestorm Catastrophe – 117 Million Gallons Could Have Saved the Day
Yes, The Santa Ynez reservoir was closed for "cosmetic repairs" and so there was no water available to stop this.

Pacific Palisades Reservoir Found Empty and Offline During Firestorm Catastrophe – 117 Million Gallons Could Have Saved the Day
Yes, The Santa Ynez reservoir was closed for "cosmetic repairs" and so there was no water available to stop this.
From The Gateway Pundit:
Outrage is boiling over after revelations that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, a critical water source in Pacific Palisades, was empty and offline when a devastating wildfire ripped through the area.
The Los Angeles Times reported that despite the reservoir’s critical role in the city’s water infrastructure, it had been offline for nearly a year.
The Santa Ynez Reservoir, with a capacity of 117 million gallons, could have played a critical role in providing water pressure to firefighters battling the devastating fire that destroyed thousands of homes and buildings in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu.
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (DWP) officials claim the reservoir had been offline for "a while” due to a tear in its cover.
Now, incompetent Governor Gavin Newsom has labeled the situation "deeply troubling” and ordered an independent investigation into the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP).

L.A. Mayor Wanted to Cut Budget for Fire department
Timothy Birdnow
This is what happens when you put politics first, as was done in L.A.
Leaked memo reveals LA Mayor Karen Bass demanded her fire department cut an extra $49 million just ONE WEEK before wildfires broke out
FTA:
"'They did not want this out. It's an internal memo not to be distributed,' one currently-serving 25-year veteran of the Fire Department told DailyMail.com.
'It comes from top brass downtown, City Hall.
'They're trying to allocate more money for the homeless, and they need to start taking from everybody.
'But we already exhausted our budget. It's already tapped. That's why they cut the fire academy in half, so they could save more money. That's why we're not testing if hydrants work any more. We're doing everything we can to save money.
'We have fire engines we can't get parts for. When one breaks down we strip it of parts to put on other fire engines because we can't buy any more parts.
'If you shut down 16 stations, that's about 750 personnel. Then they expect us to take the same call volume. And yesterday we did 3,800 calls, almost twice of what our daily call volume usually is.
'We're already shy 200 paramedics, and we're on the verge of another 200 quitting because we can't do this any more.
'If we don't work overtime, they suspend and threaten to terminate us. It's untenable.'"

A Lucifer to Light My Fag Boy...

I guess he wants people getting smoke in their lungs the old fashioned way - via wild fire.
Biden Administration Targets Smokers as His Presidency Enters Its Final Days
Doesn't he have more important issues to worry about - like California burning?

Trump Sentenced
Timothy Birdnow
Judge Merchan has now sentenced President Trump despite his appeal to SCOTUS. There will be no conditions, no imprisonment, no probation, and no conditions of any kind.
Merchan hopes this gets him off the hook.
It shouldn't; Merchan would have imprisoned Trump had the election swung to Harris, and he needs to answer for his abuse of power. They all do.
Now at Trump's inauguration all we will here is "the convicted felon Donald Trump", which is all that Merchan wanted at this point.
Payback is a bitch Juan! Don't think you can hide in your courtroom; the long arm of the law is coming for you and your crimes. Oh, and God is coming for your sins too. You took an oath and violated it.

Campaign Finance Fraud

Friends in VERY Low Places
Timothy Birdnow
So, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks sang John Lennon's nihilistic anthem "Imagine" at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Odd choice.
The song was and is a communist screed promoting materialism over faith in God. The lyrics are:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Sounds like hell to me. Certainly it's a rejection of all Mr. carter claimed to stand for - he taught Sunday school after all.
Who would sing a song denying Heaven or religion at somebody's FUNERAL! Essentially they are telling the Carter family that Jimmy is gone forever and that's that.
Brooks had been accused of rape and assault by a woman, and I always doubted it. But this makes me wonder...
At any rate Brooks and Yearwood (his wife) are big Democrat supporters, which always make one suspicious of them. And when Brooks says he has "friends in low places" we didn't know he went THAT low!

Shame on Coney Barrett and Roberts!
Timothy Birdnow
John Roberts (no surprise there) and Amy Conehead Barrett joined with the radicals on the Supreme Court to deny Trump's appeal to delay sentencing for his bogus New York conviction.
Coney-Barrett was a huge mistake and increasingly votes with the Left on issues. She may not be David Souter yet but she's trying.
Trump is probably being sentenced as I write this.
According to the article:
So they ruled based on vague statements made by judge Merchan that he MIGHT do something rather than taking it out of his hands when he has already botched this thing. What happens if Merchan changed his mind and orders Trump serve time?
The whole point of sentencing now is to humiliate Trump just before his inaugural. It serves no other purpose. Merchan knows full well that the media will be crowing about this, calling Trump a convicted felon on inauguration day.
The big picture here is that Coney-Barrett came highly recommended by the Heritage Foundation. Highly recommended. Of course it was the Heritage Foundation that devised the scheme that Barack Obama implemented in the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. That tells me we should stop listening to Heritage.
The problem with SCOTUS is there is great pressure on the justices at any given time and it takes a strong person to resist joining the liberals and being loved. Barrett is clearly not a strong person and I didn't like her appointment at the time. Now we know she's willing to sell us out.
Doubt that? I give you the words of the leftist Politico:
"Amy Coney Barrett: Meet the last best hope for Supreme Court liberals
And you may have noticed there was no real protest over Barrett when she was selected. That is a sure sign. we saw the same thing with John Roberts when Bush tapped him (in fact the Democrats told Bush Roberts was the only guy they would accept.)
I don't know why it's so hard to find people with integrity and who understand what is happening in our society. The Left uses the law like a weapon. (The perfect analogy was used in the t.v. show "Better call Saul" where Jimmy's brother says "Jimmy with the law is like a monkey with a machine gun".) Any so-called Conservative put on the court is there to push back against such, yet here Barrett and Roberts are going along to get along and by so doing help to Make America Late Again (as in dead). But they will get some lovin' from the media and the liberals, yes sir!
Sadly the system is corrupted to the core. To get to a point where you can be appointed to SCOTUS you have to have been approved by the Senate to inferior courts, and that means anyone with integrity and brains will be blackballed. The system is designed to promote insiders. Roberts was the ultimate insider and remains so today. So too, apparently, is Barrett. And to stay on the inside you have to give the Ruling Class what it wants.

According to the article:
"First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump's state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect's responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court's stated intent to impose a sentence of 'unconditional discharge' after a brief virtual hearing," read the ruling.
So they ruled based on vague statements made by judge Merchan that he MIGHT do something rather than taking it out of his hands when he has already botched this thing. What happens if Merchan changed his mind and orders Trump serve time?

The Tarnished State
Timothy Birdnow
The incomparable Victor Davis Hansen looks at the California fires and both makes the same observations as did I but draws the same conclusions.
Good company to be in.
VDH calls it "a DEI–Green New Deal hydrogen bomb." He's right.
And he's right when he says:
"what we’re seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19th-century pastoral condition. They are decivilizing the state, and deindustrializing the state, and defarming the state, but they’re not telling the 40 million people that their lifestyles will have to revert back to the 19th century when you had no protection from fire, you didn’t have enough water in California, you didn’t have enough power, you didn’t pump oil."
He's absolutely correct; if you dismantle First World industrial society you wind up with third world problems. California is showing itself to be third world now.
It's not just there. Here in St. Louis we had a winter storm, not a bad one, but there was both snow and freezing rain and then it got cold. That was about a week ago and many of the roads are STILL impassable. I expected that here in the city itself; St. Louis doesn't plow the side streets and for good reason - they are too narrow. Last time they tried they just buried people's cars and took off mirrors or sideswiped cars. But the more major streets used to get done. Last night I looked at down to the corner and the main streat was largely blocked. My brother drove to see my father and the roads were awful he tells me - and he got stuck. AAA came and almost hit the neighbor's car trying to pull him out.
Our northern tier editor Dana Mathewson is probably laughing at such incompetence on the part of St. Louis (he's up in the Twin Cities) but the point is this wasn't even a bad snowstorm, it's just the authorites aren't dealing with it. I'm not sure why but I have my suspicions. I suspect it's the same things (more or less) than have led to the California fires - DEI and poor planning and probably some sort of environmentalist stupidity added to the mix. Maybe they aren't using regular salt anymore in favor of "environmentally friendly" snow remover? I'll have to try to dig into it more deeply. Certainly the city is lousy with DEI and also not spending on the fire department or street department.
We've had worse storms in bygone days and at most they have taken three or four days to clear. But this time we've been snowed in and, given the fact it's snowing as we speak, we'll likely be snowed in for a few days more (thankfully it's supposed to warm up.)
The point is this is what third world countries look like, and it's what Democrat-controlled areas do as well these days. Basic services fail first.
California is a huge experiment in reordering civilization, and thus far it's failing miserably. They have turned the golden state into the tarnished state and seem to want to double down on that.

L.A. Sent Fire Gear to Ukraine
Timothy Birdnow
Wonder what mismanagement looks like?
Los Angeles sent alot of it's firefighting equipment to Ukraine and then wonders why they don't have what they need.
I wonder if Zelensky will try to send some of it back? Fat chance sucker!
Oh, and Karen Bass
cut fire department funding by $17 million — just last month. So it was not a priority and now they are paying for it. But then the L.A. Mayor is just coming back from a trip to Africa so she clearly had better things to do with her time.

Minneapolis Police Chief Lied About Chauvin
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well...
14 Current and Former Police Officers in Minneapolis Claim MPD Police Chief Lied During Chauvin Trial
I never had any doubt about it.
Chauvin was a sacrificial lamb to quiet the mob and to promote the lie of white cops murdering black innocents for sport. This has done irreparable harm to America and must not be allowed to stand. Chauvin should get a new trial immediately.

Schiff Ready to Impeach Trump Again
Timothy Birdnow
Did you expect anything else?
Adam Schiff Already Talking About Impeaching Trump Again
I assure you Trump will face at least one more impeachment effort before his term expires, probably after the '26 midterms, especially if the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress.
I guess he thinks third time's a charm!

Trump Loses Appeal in New York
Timothy Birdnow
Trump will never, ever get a fair shake from New York State.
New York High Court Rejects Trump Bid to Stop Sentencing
It comes as no surprise but hopefully the U.S. Supreme Court will intervene.
If I were Trump I would begin closing all my operations in New York state - everything. Let them cry into their Rheingold beers.

Only Part of Smith Report to be Released
Timothy Birdnow
Can you say "cherry pick"?
DOJ To Release Only Part Of Trump Case Related To 2020 Election Interference
At this stage the only value in releasing any of this is to smear Trump and burn it all down as these spiteful monsters are ushered out the door.
I said it before and I'll say it again; Smith was illegally appointed meaning he has no legal authority over any of this. There need to be consequences for Smith and his lackeys.

Fani Colluded with J6 Committee
Timothy Birdnow
Newly released documents show Fani Willis colluded with the J6 Committee to take Trump out.
According to Judicial Watch:
BREAKING: The Superior Court in Fulton County, GA, issued an order granting $21,578 "attorney’s fees and costs” in the open records lawsuit for communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee (1/3). https://t.co/qcVL9VTlfT
— Judicial Watch ⚖️ (@JudicialWatch) January 7, 2025
Tom Fitton, head of Judicial Watch stated:
""You know, pretty simple request. We asked for records about her communications with the January 6 committee, the Pelosi operation there, Jack Smith Justice Department, and I think they told us, 1-2-3-4, times they had no documents,
We said, well, hold on a second. There’s at least one letter Jordan released showing that Fani herself wrote a letter to Benny Thompson, I think. And so we sued.”
Willis failed to show up leading to a default judgment and so JD obtained the records.
Fani and company are still foot-dragging on handing over the records.
This is indictable material and when Trump takes over must be dealt with.
What we saw in 2020 and over the four years after is an incredible scam and bloodless coup by the Ruling Class against Middle America. The scope of this boggles the mind. Even if you hate Trump and think him an awful man and terrible President you should be far, far more disturbed about all that has happened to take this guy out.

It's Newsom's Fault
Timothy Birdnow
Gavin "Gruesome" Newsom is accusing Trump of politicizing the So Cal fires.
On Anderson Stupor Coopper's 360 we have Newsom attacking Trump:
So Mr. Newsom WHY are people fleeing for their lives? Could it be you fumbled the ball, had terrible public policy in regards to land management and fire protection? YOU are where the buck stops GOVERNOR!
Asking questions about poor decisions is NOT politicizing anything; it's what actual leaders do to avoid another such disaster. You can't fix it if you deny there is a problem.
And Mr. Trump has been warning this for many months, long before a Santa Ana wind blew these fires into raging infernos. You ignored him then.
How do you run out of water to fight fires? Could it be because you are refusing to store enough?
As of last year California was storing 15 million acre-feet of water, putting it at just 63% of capacity. That is in the whole state. Why so low? Yes, CA had drought conditions for several years before 2022,but has more than made up for it since.
The fact is California has been on a dam-wrecking kick. The state brags about completing the largest dam removal project in history with removal of the Klamath river dams, for instance. And Newsom supported removing dams around Sacramento, according to the Sac Bee. California's largest reservoir - Lake Shasta - had [kubj=https://www.newsweek.com/california-reservoir-water-levels-now-compared-lowest-point-1974480]dropped roughly 67 feet between June and October of last year. That is a loss of 4.1 billion gallons of water! Yet Mr. Newsom did not seem overly concerned.
And this has nothing to do with evaporation or lack of rain. It is required by state law that the reservoir be drained at this time of year:
Last year water regulators actually had to increase the amount of water released from Lake Shasta as the reservoir was over full.
So this water is being released to flow to the sea to save some damned bait fish. Whose fault is that?
Granted Lake Shasta isn't the source of water to the L.A. area, but a number of reservoirs in the foothills of the Sierras are - dams on rivers like the Owens. And in the L.A. area dams have been removed; for instance the North Debris Dam was removed from the Los Angeles river.
If ground water is depleted and you won't store river water what is left?
So this is a policy problem, not a natural disaster. And policy problems must be discussed rationally and honestly. That last seriously offends Gruesome Newsom because he knows honesty will place blame squarely where it belongs - on his doorstep. This isn't JUST Newsom's fault but as the sign on Harry Truman's desk said "the buck stops here". Newsom wants us to believe he's a capable administrator; he sure fumbled the ball here.
Oh, L.A. Mayor, the appropriately named Karen Bass, had been bragging about making L.A. "greener" before the fire. This is what "green" looks like. I guess charcoal is the new Green.
Gavin "Gruesome" Newsom is accusing Trump of politicizing the So Cal fires.
On Anderson Stupor Coopper's 360 we have Newsom attacking Trump:
"Cooper asked Newsom about Trump’s remarks criticizing the response to the disaster.
"One can’t even respond to it. It’s — people are literally fleeing, people have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down,” Newsom said.
"And this guy wanted to politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts, and I know what I want to say.”'
"One can’t even respond to it. It’s — people are literally fleeing, people have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down,” Newsom said.
"And this guy wanted to politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts, and I know what I want to say.”'
So Mr. Newsom WHY are people fleeing for their lives? Could it be you fumbled the ball, had terrible public policy in regards to land management and fire protection? YOU are where the buck stops GOVERNOR!
Asking questions about poor decisions is NOT politicizing anything; it's what actual leaders do to avoid another such disaster. You can't fix it if you deny there is a problem.

The Party's Over
Timothy Birdnow
A little bit of Missouri mishmash to attend to this fine cold morning. First we return to our favorite Democratic witch hazel in Missouri, namely the George Soros-funded ex-St. Louis Circuit Attorney (Prosecutor) Kim Gardner.
Gardner was one of the class of prosecutors (like Kim Foxx in Chicago) funded by Soros and supported by Black Lives Matter whose intention was to overturn the law for "equity" sake. Gardner made her name though by prosecuting Missouri's Republican Governor (a former Democrat) Eric Greitens in a travesty of a case that would have been tossed for malfeasance and led to the prosecutor being disbarred and possibly jailed had the racial ramifications not been present. And had Greitens not pissed off the Missouri RINO Republicans (among other things he wanted a five year moratorium on politicians becoming lobbyists, something that was going to cost a lot of retiring Republicrats dearly.)
(Do understand Greitens was a perv and a jackass, butt he was a Democrat who switched parties so what do you expect? Picture Bill Clinton, only less affable. Still, he was elected by the public and the Republicans should not have allowed the Democrats to use lawfare to take him out. This set the trend and is the model they employed against Trump.)
Gardner withheld exculpatory evidence, tampered with witnesses, hired her own private investigator (a guy named Tisdale, who wound up in the slammer), and generally made a huge mess of things. She was cited with contempt of court but wind up being let off and cut a deal with Greitens - he had to resign from office and charges would be dropped, proving clearly this was politically motivated and nothing more.
Gardner had a list of "banned cops" and she would prosecute no charges against anyone arrested and charged by these "racist cops" in the City. Her staff quit in droves.
The last straw for Gardner was when a young punk who was under house arrest rammed his car into a teenage girl here to play in a volleyball tournament; the girl lost both her legs. Turns out the young punk had skipped out with his ankle bracelet over 23 times and Gardner had done nothing to stop it.
She made an agreement to quit rather than be prosecuted (and typically Missouri Republicans agreed to let her walk).
Anyway, the Missouri State Auditor just completed an audit of Madam Gardner's office and the report is staggering.
After months of hunting for Gardner - who went on the lam to Florida to avoid testifying - State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick uncovered some amazing things. For instance, Gardner had over 6,000 referrals from the police for prosecution in her e-mail that she never even bothered to open. And of the ones she addressed at all she chose to NOT prosecute over 60%, including many violent felonies.
Gardner spent over 7 full weeks skipping work to attend nursing classes at St. Louis University, and even skipped court during the Greitens case (leading the judge to threaten her with contempt). Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey made his name pursuing Gardner and he had her followed; she spent large amounts of time at SLU when she was supposed to be in the office doing the work of the people of St. Louis.
Gardner's ridiculous excuse was she was trying "to improve the office and bring mental health awareness” by getting a master's degree in nursing. How does that help anyone but herself? It has no bearing on the job at hand. It's like telling your boss in an accounting firm you needed an auto-mechanic's certificate.
she also misappropriated funds. She used office funds to throw lavish parties, one of which ran up a six thousand dollar bar bill at a local restaurant. That can be characterized as embezzlement.
She spent $58,000 on a chili cookout, having her car detailed, a disc jockey, and her personal legal expenses.
Anyone else would be in prison by now.
At any rate the Auditor has no prosecutory power so it has to wait for state or local authorities to file charges. Andrew Bailey, Missouri's Attorney General, has already shown a willingness to go after her (and buck his own party in the process) so I expect charges to come soon.
As ye sow so shall ye reap; Gardner used the law to destroy political enemies and now her own sins are coming home to roost. If there is any justice in America she will serve quite a bit of prison time.
In other Missouri news outgoing Republican Governor Mike Parsons, the RINO stooge, has shown why Republicans rarely prosper. With St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell going to Congress Parsons had the power to appoint a new prosecutor. He did - a Democrat! Why elect Republicans if they are going to support the Democrats?
After a big fight with St. Louis County Executive Dr. Sam Page (the tyrant of Covid) Parsons caved and appointed Melissa Price Smith after winning in court over Page.
Pior to that Mr.Pasons appointed Gabriel Gore as the Circuit Attorney for the City of St. Louis, another Democrat.
What is the point of winning if your guy gives the loses power?
Is it any wonder a person like Gardner could run amok for all that time with friends like Mike Parsons? The Republican GOP is largely worthless, with a few exceptions. Our last three Attorney Generals have been great, but they are anomalies. Missouri is RINO country and it's why we remain a backwater by and large. We can't make progress with this good-old-boys club in power.

Watch 'em Squirm!
Timothy Birdnow
To illustrate how the media has absolutely no understanding of Donald Trump (and probably willfully so) one need but look at this Yahoo News article. In it the author takes everything Trump has said, no matter how tongue-in-cheek, seriously.
Here's the part that gets me:
And they really believe Trump isn't joking? Come on! If Trump were so crazy he wouldn't be where he is today.
It was observed during Trump's first term that the media took what he said literally all the time when normal Americans understood the joke.
Trump has been trolling Canada to get them to reverse some of their more aggregious policies and this seems to have touched a nerve - not with the average Canadian but with the Canadian ruling class and with the media. OF COURSE he's going to keep at this! He's having a great time punking them.
I have no doubt Trump would like to take back the Panama Canal, and possibly buy Greenland. He won't get Greenland I do not think (never say never) but he might get the canal out of the hands of the Chicoms anyway. But none of the rest of this will fly and Trump is no fool; he knows it. He's just having fun and at the same time doing what he does, namely being unpredictablle and making those he is negotiating with nervous.
I really don't know if the average news flunky understands this about Trump. I'm sure the top guys do but it serves their purposes to pretend to be obtuse.
Anyway it's fun watching them squirm.

Here's the part that gets me:
"Trump said he "liked” Carter "as a man” but was "strongly against” the former president’s decision to relinquish control.
Even as he flirted with a U.S. takeover of Canada, Trump weighed in with who he thinks should take over as the country’s next prime minister, with Justin Trudeau stepping aside, saying he suggested to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky that he should toss his hat into the ring.
In Trump’s retelling of the conversation between the two men, Gretzky replied by asking whether he’d be running for prime minister — or governor.
"Let’s make it governor,” Trump told him. "I like it better.”

What's in a Name?
Timothy Birdnow
This is the kind of thing that makes me smile. Not sure we want it but just the fact Trump proposed it makes it fun.
Yes, Trump has suggested renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America".
Oh, and Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced a bill to officially change the name.
Granted, if we do that I doubt anyone else in the world will call it by the new name - certainly not the states that border that body of water (like Cuba or whatnot). Also, Mexico will probably rename the Gulf of California in reprisal. But who cares? We have no access to that either.
Which brings up another idea; we should annex Baja California. Purchase it from Mexico and it would become another Florida, a huge vacation destination. Mexico has done nothing with it after all. I'd rather have Baja than Canada, frankly, or even than Greenland.
Another place I'd like to annex is the Kamchatka Peninsula. Russia should be willing to sell her; there isn't much there of value to them and we can add it as another state. That would make America span two continents.
Speaking of renaming places, I'm still mad that it's called the Antarctic Peninsula. When I was a kid it was called the Palmer Peninsula, then changed to the American Peninsula. Then, in the globalist fashion, changed to the wholly generic Antarctic Peninsula. Give it a real name, for crying out loud.
I also find myself angry at so many of the other changes we've endured; Bombay is now Mumbai, Peking is Beijing, Ceylon is Sri Lanka, etc. Maybe these are what locals called these places but WE called them by the other names. I want to stick with that. I am also offended at "ArgenTYNES for Argentinians; that was the media not knowing how to say it and choosing that and making it stick (I spell it that way because it's not Argentines by pronounced TYNES by the media.) Oh, and don't even get me started on Mt. McKinley (now Denali).
Changing names and pronunciations is a way to break from the past, something the Left is most eager to do. They do not want continuity. And they've largely succeeded, most young kids would be completely baffled by reading old encyclopedias (like the ones my parents have from the '30's, or the ones from 1912 my parents had in their basement and let get water-logged when their sewer backed up, to my great chagrin.) The one from the thirties speaks of "French West Africa" for example. It also bemoans the rise of dictators in Germany and Italy. The 1912 one was even better, with discussions of things like Africa "There are places in Africa where no white man has yet penetrated". This would sound like alien language to most young people today. We have forgotten our past.
Anyway I doubt this renaming will go anywhere,and I frankly hope it doesn't, but it's fun watching Trump tweak the internationalists and America-haters this way. They should be grateful he's not renaming it "The Gulf of Trump".
MAGA!
