Gulf of Mexico? Not anymore...
In a bold move to celebrate "American greatness," the US has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.
The move, announced by the US Department of Homeland Security, is part of a larger effort to name geographical features in honor of the nation’s history.
Among other changes, the name of the mountain in Alaska officially called by its native name of Denali since 2015, has been changed back to Mount McKinley – after the US president assassinated in 1901.
While Trump declared his intention to rename the Gulf in his inauguration speech, Mexico pointed out that the name "Gulf of Mexico" has been used for centuries and serves as an international navigation landmark. In response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum jokingly proposed renaming the US as America Mexicana.
But it’s unlikely that Trump’s decision will be recognized on an international level.

"In light of past cases in which prosecutors conducted supplementary investigations, including raids, over CIO-transferred cases, and regulations of the Criminal Procedure Act, prosecutors' right to a supplementary probe is naturally recognized ... Thus, there is a need for an extension of the detention period," the prosecution was quoted by Yonhap as saying.
President Yoon Suk-yeol’s detention ends on January 28, coinciding with the Lunar New Year, a public holiday in South Korea. To avoid delays, prosecutors plan to expedite the case transfer to court, where he can be held for up to six months. Yoon’s interrogation may occur at the detention center due to security concerns.

As we gear up for the much-anticipated meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, let’s take a fun stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the most memorable moments from the Russian leader’s past encounters with US presidents.
Putin and Clinton dined on wild boar, went on a short tour of the Kremlin's Senate Palace, and then settled into armchairs to take in a jazz tribute to Louis Armstrong in Moscow in 2000.
Photoshoots of rare face-to-face meetings and brief handshakes between Putin and Obama spoke volumes on their seeming lack of rapport, like when they exchanged a tense luncheon toast during the 70th annual UN General Assembly in New York in 2015.
“One of my best meetings ever was with Vladimir Putin,” Trump said of his first one-on-one meeting with the Russian president in the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, Finland, in 2018, adding: “I think we'll end up having an extraordinary relationship.”
It was all about conventional diplomatic handshakes and separate press conferences after Putin held his first summit with Joe Biden at a plush 18th century Swiss villa in Geneva in 2021 that ended with commitments on reinstating diplomats and to open “constructive” dialogue.

Trump to stop 'transgender lunacy,' approves only 2 genders "Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female," the US president-elect said at AmericaFest 2024…
👫 Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced plans to constitutionally enshrine the recognition of only two genders—male and female—to prevent anyone from declaring themselves a "helicopter, cat or dog."

Truly the ultimate recognition
Ex-President Joe Biden was inducted as a Master Mason by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of South Carolina on January 19, 2025, in recognition of his “exceptional dedication and service to the United States.”
Because what better way to honor his service than with a Masonic noscript?
