yep. Alaska actually change it BACK to Denali (its original name) in 1975. And changing the name of a mountain is a lot different than changing the name of an international body of water that had the same name for centuries

It cost the taxpayers $15 million for Trump to attend the Super Bowl. How is that not waste?
I love it! Trump is bringing back sorely needed patriotism to this great country after years of being made to feel guilty for being American. These next four years are going to be the best in America since The Gipper!!
So what your are saying is he failed to bring back patriotism in his first term.
It's always MAGA and never We Made America Great. Must mean he was the village idiot the first term and now going for the global idiot title.
In reality, Everyone from Canada to the tip of Chile and Argentina are Americans. North and South Americans. So why stop at just North America. Call the entire western hemisphere Trumplandia.
Let's leave that to President Musk and his puppet Trump.
Hate to break it to you. The Gipper would be embarrassed. I bet you forgot that the Gipper granted amnesty to 3 million illegals as President in 1986.
They probably pulled it from the same fund they used for flying Michelle Obama’s mother and other family members on tax payers dime - shrugs -
These announcements are magician’s mis-direction.
Watch the moves against financial regulation, consumer protection, and the courts.

No such thing as “stolen land”. The entire history of mankind is a never ending story of conquest and empire. Tribes conquered tribes, kingdoms conquered kingdoms, and civilizations conquered civilizations. Land is never truly owned, not in perpetuity, merely occupied for some amount of time. The more powerful you are, the better chance you have of occupying the land for the longest period of time.

In that situation, that President listened to the local Americans wants and made the decision to rename it what they wanted it named. It is a sacred mountain to those Americans and the name they already called it for a VERY LONG TIME in spite of distant GOV opting to call it something else for a relatively brief period of history. It is located inside of a park called Denali National Park... which ironically now no longer has the biggest mountain formally named Denali.
In this situation, this President didn't care what the local Americans there want it called and instead arbitrarily decided to rename it, probably driven by simply wanting to reverse "the other party" actions more so than honor some historical figure.
A President is supposed to serve the people, not rule them. A great way to serve them is listen to what they want and let that heavily influence a decision like this. Whether it is called Denali or McKinley or KooKooKaChoo pretty much has no effect on almost all Americans... but means much more to those Americans who live way up there in that vicinity. Did this President ask those Americans for input on this topic? Doubtful... or it would still be called Denali... what those Americans will still be calling it anyway... much like the bulk of the world will still be calling Gulf of Mexico by it's long established name... which- by the way- has little to do with the country called Mexico but harkens back to a time before there was a Mexico... or an America... or Americus or Amerigo depending on how far back we choose to review.

No we haven't. We have had people complaining about censorship over national media at the top of their lungs.
So is that why Trump is banning some liberal media outlets from the press corps? Got to love the hypocrisy. Censorship is only censorship when the other side does it.
That old canard? Hardly stolen land but keep on with the victimhood
For the last 4 years all we saw was the victim card played over and over again. Oh the left is coming for our guns, they’re coming after our freedom of speech, they’re cancelling our businesses. There was so much whining about every little thing that it was almost unbearable. Don’t tell me you don’t remember any of that.
A stolen land is a stolen land. Hardly is the word used to minimize the impact by the perpetrators.
