Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

    “is to be given” is the wrong case to use, the bill is in committee. “Would be given” would be better to say.

        https://www.masslive.com/living/2014/05/favorite_places_lilac_lovers_flock_to_lilacland_in_pelham.html

        PELHAM — For more than 30 years, lilac lovers from all over New England have traveled to Pelham to witness scores of lilac bushes in full bloom each spring.

        Lilacland, created by Mabel and Al Lumley and run today by their son, James Lumley, features some 200 varieties of lilacs on about four acres of picturesque property.

        There is no fee for visitors. On occasion, he has plants potted for sale.

        In addition, Lumley is an artist, and has a gallery on the property, which features many of his prints of the property’s lilacs. He does not sell his artwork, but the gallery is usually open on the weekends and late afternoons/evenings for viewing.

        Huh.

    Red, White, and Blueland

    Does this mean France, and Russia, and every other country with those colors in their flags also have claims to that land?

    Cool. Just renamed my apartment “The REAL United States of America”. Every room is now a new state. The guest bathroom is obviously “New Ohio”. There. See how much that lowered egg prices?

    This is what our elected representatives believe is important. This is what they are wasting our tax dollars on. Burn it all down.

    The geopolitical fanfiction writes itself. Renaming Greenland like some corporate rebrand desperate to distract from melting assets – national security theater now starring spray-painted glaciers. The cognitive contortions needed to frame territorial karaoke as “strategic expansion” would earn Olympic gold in mental gymnastics.

    They’ve upgraded from labeling dissenters “anti-American” to legislating cartographic fanfic. Six-month bureaucratic deadlines for rewriting maps? Peak legislative productivity achieved while infrastructure crumbles and healthcare implodes. At least the Sharpie industry thrives.

    Denmark’s diplomatic eye-roll echoes through the performative patriotism. Soft power evolves into PowerPoint jingoism – why address rising seas when you can rename them? The real climate action? Mandating all future hurricanes adopt surnames from Founding Fathers. Priorities, people.
