During Wednesday’s House Natural Resources Committee’s markup of the Gulf of America Act of 2025, which aimed to permanently rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” Democratic members proposed several amendments that were clearly intended as satirical jabs at the bill.
These included suggestions to rename the Gulf as the “Gulf of Ignorance,” and “The Gulf of America Should Rejoin the Paris Climate Accords,” and even an amendment to rename Earth itself “Planet Trump.”
Other mocking amendments included the “Gulf of Mexico Stays” and “Gulf of Corporate Greed.”
While the amendments were not seen as serious attempts to change the name, they did cause significant delays. The committee rejected all of them, and the bill moved forward with a 24-17 vote.
Early in his second term, President Donald Trump by executive order changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico. It is now officially the Gulf of America, and the bill debated this week seeks to make the change permanent.
“While Democrats tried to bog down today’s markup with nonsense amendments, committee Republicans took decisive action to advance a slate of legislation,” said Congressman Bruce Westerman, chairman of the committee. The committee also delisted the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act list, and modernized the Endangered Species Act.
“We streamlined burdensome regulatory processes and advanced legislation to support local broadband and energy development. These legislative solutions and others put Americans first and represent the diverse array of issues we champion here on committee every day,” Westerman said.
Such elected officials are an embarrassment. Gross ignorance and delusion stare back at them in the mirror each day.
There’s an entire new branch of psychiatry being developed at this writing. It has to do with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not sure exactly how it will be labeled yet, but doubtful that the majority of physicians, psychiatrists, and medical scholars will want Trump’s name involved.
Doc, can we just assume that all Democrats are insane, unbalanced, crazed, and unhinged today?
It would make your mental triage and diagnosis much easier.
I vote Gulf of America!!
We actually pay these dip—– to play these games. They all need a Harry Reid tune up..
Another distraction to hide another massive tax break for $Billionaires
Democrats. Continuing to be useless to America for over 200 years.
Party of slavery. Party of jim crow. Party of dei racism and sexual depravity.
So… instead of actually working on legislation that will benefit the average American, they are… proposing bills that are nothing but snark?
.
Got it. Obviously, these are the people we want leading the country.
It’s not just the children who have ‘text messaging’ syndromethey…maybe all the game playing in between bouts of seriousness is how they make it through all the disagreements & lighten the mood?
All this falderal and still no balanced budge from these jesters in Juneau.
These puerile antics by democrats are screaming reminders that they cannot be trusted with the interests of Alaskans.
Did BSNC and Kawerak’s lackeys propose naming Norton Sound ” Fishead Soup Pot”?
