Already on day 1 The President is tackling the big issues that affect millions of hard working americans who sruggle to make ends meet in the Biden economy.

This is a great idea but I think that his natural modesty is holding him back rom taking the action that most Americans want.

Mount Trump sounds far better than Mckinley and would drag millions of citizens to the park to frolic in the snow and pay homage.

I understand that some eskimo woman is objecting to this. She needs to be gagged and bound and dumped in Greenland. Mizursky or something.

That kind of muddled thinking has led to the Biden decline and held back the golden age. Its time to stamp out dissent.
 
That's bullshit!

I recently bought a new driver shaft from True Temper Project X.......................... named after Mt. Denali

Now I gotta tape over it and call it a McKinley? Who the **** wants a McKinley shaft?

Why do so many people have a problem understanding how power works? The Peak once was named something else, Denali. The region was acquired by the U.S. and as the saying goes, to the victor go the spoils. The victors get to write the histories. This constant switching is silly. I love how sports handles this sometimes. It would be McKinley field in Denali stadium, of vice versa. There is always a way to make most happy, it's generally referred to compromise. Maybe McKinling Peak on Mt. Denali?
 
That mountain has been known as Mount McKinley for more than a hundred years until some bleeding heart liberals decided to rename it.

It is only right and proper that it revert back to its original name.

Mt. McKinali? Or maybe Mt. Dekinley? We can even spell it "Dekinli". That will satisfy no one.

We understand how power works…and we mock the use of power when it is is used for stupid reasons as the point of power is not to use it unless you need to for important reasons.

Renaming Denali is not important and stupid…and is deserving of mockery.

It had 9 "original" names that we know of. We don't know what the first people to cross the Bering Strait 20K years ago called it.

Denali sounds like a made up name. Wait till Donald gets to Greenland where the names are all native gibberish.

Then we will see greatness and awesomeness on a grand scale

And Denali was a local name for the mountain for centuries prior to that.

Renaming Denali McKinley is simply a juvenile jab at Obama who renamed it Denali in 2015.

Calling McKinley is being woke, albeit from the right wing perspective…but woke nevertheless.

The reason we are mocking this is you can engage in your wokeism by calling it McKinley…but for those who all actually climb Denali, use products that refer to the mountain as Denali (including cars) will continue to do so and call the mountain Denali.

Sure, it might be on maps, but just like before, when you and your woke brethren call it McKinely, the rest of the world will laugh at you all and continue to call it Denai.

In other words, renaming Denali is a date of time, use of power and a waste of taxpayers money.

How does that argument square with the fact that the mountain was referred to as Denali for centuries prior to being renamed Mr. McKinley. If the history and length of time are the standard we should be looking at, as well as what its original name was, should not that then be Denali? Or should we have to look further back at whatever the first person to call the mountain something was, and that should be the name?

How Big Money in Politics Bought a Presidential Election - in 1896

Big money in politics has become a growing concern in recent years. And for good reason - a presidential election was bought once before. Here's what happened.

GOP Begich just flipped this house seat from Dem Peltola.
That’s how GOPs would attack with roles reversed.

Trump only puts his name on shit that's made in China.
 
This renaming stunt has to be among the most stupid, wasteful, and unnecessarily divisive things the Orange Felon has ever come up with. The next President will likely simply reverse the EO. Maps will not change. No one will call Denali anything else, nor will anyone refer to the Gulf of Mexico as anything other than the name it has had for many many years.

Trump is his own worst enemy.
