Judge Tjoflat says it's the Gulf of Mexico

In a footnote from this case:

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order directing that “[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico” be renamed as the “Gulf of America.” Exec. Order No. 14172, 90 Fed. Reg. 8629 (Jan. 20, 2025). Because the statutory schemes pertinent to this appeal explicitly refer to this geographic area as the “Gulf of Mexico,” we continue to use that name.

So disrespectful - should be "Gulf of America...formally known as"...when referring to the body, instead of the law. And re the law, should be "(now the Gulf of America)" after every Gulf of Mexico reference if they needed to quote the statute.

What is the point of unlimited Presidential authority if nobody respects it?

I am looking to my next Tampa Bay Trump Boat Flag Day Parade when instead of two Trump Flags in deach outrigger, I am going to put one Trump Flag and one "Gulf of America" flag in each one.

Trying to discern / hoping this is facetious?? If not, whoa.

To the original poster--why not make your opinions public? If what you're saying is correct, I'm sure everyone--especially our fearless President--would love to see your support. Don't be shy; you're clearly unafraid to express your opinions on the outrigger you claim to own! Make your opinions plain instead of hiding behind a keyboard.

Has anyone heard anything about the gunman in the parking lot across from the Ferguson building? I understand that the building is under lockdown due to a man with a rifle.

I just heard that it was a false alarm. Some security guard parking for work (worked at another building) carelessly brandished his weapon triggered a lockdown.
