against Google over Gulf of America name change 6 replies
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday her government was deciding whether to initiate a lawsuit against Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America on Google Maps.
"We are going to wait. We are already seeing, observing what this would mean from the perspective of legal advice, but we hope that they will make a revision," Sheinbaum said, according to Reuters.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Google.

President Donald Trump doubled down on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s comments about how the U.S. will bring about a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine during a Thursday press conference.While addressing an audience at a Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Brussels, Belgium, Hegseth that both Russia and Ukraine “must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective” and stressed that the U.S. “does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.”
You can almost hear a pin drop at the border.
Border crossings have plummeted to levels not seen in decades this month following President’s Trump’s swift crackdown on illegal immigration across the southwest, The Post can reveal. (Photo) So far in February, about 359 illegal migrants per day have been caught across the entire southern border — down more than 90% from February 2024, according to leaked Customs and Border Protection data.
That puts the US on track to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 25 years. If the trend continues, the number of illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level not seen
You've got to hand it to New York's bartender-turned-Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She's consistent. Every time she opens her mouth - which she does a lot - something stupid comes out. On Thursday, though, we learned that it wasn't a statement from the congresswoman herself that was stupid, but rather an act from her office. It seems her Congressional office has hosted a seminar advising illegal aliens on how to evade repatriation:
The "Know Your Rights With ICE" virtual event was broadcast live on Ocasio-Cortez’s Facebook page, where migrant viewers were informed of how to deal with ICE search requests if officers come calling
It appears President Donald Trump’s threat against Hamas might have worked. The terrorist group announced on Thursday that it would free Israeli hostages on Saturday, as was originally planned in an earlier ceasefire agreement. The announcement came after President Trump indicated he was losing his patience with Hamas and that there would be consequences if they did not adhere to the agreement.
While discussing the matter with reporters on Sunday, he commented on an earlier hostage release, saying Hamas’ prisoners “look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors.”
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s choice to lead the FBI, passed through committee on Thursday, setting up consideration from the full Senate, likely next week.
Patel blazed through the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 12-10 party-line vote. “So glad that @Kash_Patel has advanced out of the Judiciary Committee,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said after the vote. “He will now advance to the Senate floor, where we should confirm him as soon as our rules will allow.”
Two nurses from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney, Australia, have been suspended after a video surfaced showing them making abhorrent anti-Semitic remarks and bragging about killing and refusing to treat Israeli patients.
The clip was shared by content creator Max Veifer, who was speaking with Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, both verified as health workers from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney’s southwest, according to ABC News Australia.
It is one of several videos on Veifer’s account featuring conversations with individuals from various parts of the world—primarily the Middle East—t
President Donald J. Trump will give a full rundown on the waste and fraud that’s engulfed the capital. It’s a form of gift that’s been ongoing for generations. It’s nothing new, but he’s vowed to do something about it. He tasked Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to root out the cockamamie contracts that have bled taxpayers. The Department of Education and the Pentagon are next to be analyzed, with USAID already shut down. The president made this declaration during the swearing-in ceremony for Tulsi Gabbard as the next director of national intelligence.
Forty years ago, a radio personality coined the phrase “jump the shark” in reference to the episode of the sitcom “Happy Days” in which the character Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark on water skis. The term is often applied to dying franchises that turn to sensational language or scenes to try to revive the fading interest of the public. More often, you jump the shark and land in utter obscurity.
This week, the Democratic Party jumped the shark.
For years, Dems and their allies pushed the absurd claim that democracy was about to die if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris was not elected president. The public wasn’t buying it.
President Trump’s approval rating among black men has climbed to 42 percent, according to new polling from Cygnal.
This should make Democrats wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweats. Trump won the White House with less support than that from black voters in November. He is going up in their estimation, despite everything that Democrats and the media are trying to use against him.
Democrats have had an ongoing problem with male voters. This polling shows that their problem is not improving, it’s getting worse.
Paul Bedard writes at The Gazette:
President Trump announced he will be holding a press conference tomorrow to release a list of names of entities and people involved in government fraud and abuse.
This comes one day after Elon Musk said DOGE was investigating how government workers mysteriously accrued millions of dollars.
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said on Tuesday.
Has there ever been a more child-friendly administration than Donald Trump’s?
There was Elon Musk in the Oval Office Tuesday with his adorable 4-year-old son, “little X,” on his shoulders as he took questions from the media about how DOGE will cut $1 trillion from the deficit, while the president looked on benignly from the Resolute Desk, occasionally commenting on the child’s “high IQ.”
Meanwhile, the three small children, aged 7, 4 and 2, of Vice President J.D. Vance and wife Usha are accompanying their parents on dad’s first official visit to Europe.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing.
Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.”
Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it.
Schakowsky stated, “Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing. I asked them, ‘How many of those students that are signing up and want to do this, how many are women?'”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris would be the Democratic front-runner for governor of California if she jumped into the Golden State’s 2026 race to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), polling shows.
Harris snagged support for a hypothetical gubernatorial bid from nearly 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters in California, 57 percent, according to a survey from Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill.
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who left the House to mount an unsuccessful Senate bid last year, followed at 9 percent support.
Ex-Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and sitting Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalaki (D) brought in 4 percent each, and another 17
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said during an interview that Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) final vote against Tulsi Gabbard, the newly sworn-in director of national intelligence, indicates that President Trump’s “cult” can be “broken.”
“Mitch McConnell breaking yesterday with his Republican colleagues telling the truth to power, indicates that maybe the Trump cult, the intimidation and threats can be broken,” Blumenthal said during his Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Our tools are limited. We’re in the minority. They control obviously both houses of Congress and the White House and indirectly the United States Supreme Court,” he added.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth began a tour of Europe Tuesday, starting at the headquarters of US European Command at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. The newly minted SecDef has a heavy schedule in front of him, inspecting US forces in Europe and dealing with his first meeting with NATO. He is obviously trying to move beyond the controversies associated with his confirmation. He is also trying to lead by example and reverse the cultural rot in the US military by force of will.

What a rock-block. An award-winning UK scientist warns that it might be too late to deflect the “city killer” asteroid that’s headed toward Earth. Deflection efforts “might not be able to stop 2024 YR4,” cautioned Dr. Robin George Andrews, a London-based volcanologist and author, in a chilling X post blowing up online. Discovered hurtling through our galaxy in December 2024, the building-sized space rock is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to deep space dangers, boasting a 1-in-43 chance of striking Earth in 2032.
Longtime vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy is now the nation’s top health official, after the Senate Thursday voted almost entirely on party lines to confirm him atop a department of nearly 100,000 employees that run 13 agencies.
The 52-48 confirmation vote brings to a close a contentious three-month confirmation fight that served as a significant test of the Republican Party’s loyalty to President Trump.
Only Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cast a GOP vote against Kennedy’s confirmation, after previously bucking his party on Trump’s defense secretary and national intelligence director.
Shonda Rhimes, who had been treasurer of the Kennedy Center, has resigned from the board following Donald Trump’s takeover of the arts institution.
“Please be advised that as of today, Shonda Rhimes has resigned from the board of the Kennedy Center,” a spokesperson for the writer producer said.
Rhimes had been appointed to the board by President Barack Obama and was serving as one of the officers.

Biggest Fraudsters and Beneficiaries of
Gov't Waste 22 replies
We’ve been reading so much about all the rampant waste in the federal government, from USAID to the Education Department to FEMA, that Elon Musk and DOGE continue to uncover at a staggering pace.
But sometimes you wonder, who are the beneficiaries of all this fraud and waste—where’s the money going? I mean, besides to terrorists, social justice warriors and the like.
Your questions may soon be answered. Grab the popcorn and fluff the couch pillows because Donald Trump told reporters at a briefing in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon that he plans to name names at a press conference scheduled for Thursday. Responding to a reporter's question, he charged:
Current and former employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sued Elon Musk and his cost-cutting operation, levying the novel argument that the world’s richest man should have been confirmed by the Senate before wielding such enormous power.
The Trump administration, Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have moved in recent weeks to stanch the flow of foreign aid, dismantle the agency responsible for administering it and dismiss thousands of people working for the agency at home and abroad.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that President Donald Trump “has effectively surrendered” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “You’ve previously said that that you believe Putin sees Trump as what you described as an easy mark. You were there for their first meeting in Helsinki. What are your expectations for this one?”
Bolton said, “Well, I don’t have any expectations anymore. I think we know exactly what’s gonna happen. President Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin before the negotiations have even begun. The positions that Defense Secretary Hegseth announced in Brussels –
We've been seeing a pretty amazing move to make over the government over the last three weeks since President Donald Trump has taken office.[Snip] Now, there's a follow-up action in Congress with the House Oversight Committee naming Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to head the new "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets." Luna announced that they would be looking into UFOs, the Jeffrey Epstein client list, JFK, RFK, and MLK, as well as the origins of COVID-19 and the 9/11 files.
