Lake America |

Posted by cortelyounext on Wed Aug 26 17:39:33 2026 We The People, under the auspices or authorization one of those words of The Honorable President Donald J. Trump, are going to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America, something that should have been done back in 1641 when that place was first named Ontario even though America was named in 1507 by some guy from Italy I think. The fact America was not yet a country is beside the point.Now I am going to recommend that Ontario, California follow suit and also that KONT be renamed America International Airport. That place holds a special place in my heart since I once took an Airbus into KLAX and flew another one out of KONT the following day, a rare scheduling anomaly. The Santa Ana winds were howling out of the east and the pilots were reporting moderate to severe turbulence all the way up to 14,000' before it let up. I was terrified and helpless, holding onto my assigned seat at 1L with both hands, facing backward and staring straight ahead at the bulkhead with the passengers screaming. The Captain called me and asked if I was alright so I made an "All CALL" and said I'd get back to him. I called back and told him all of us air hostesses and passengers were good which was a lie and the cabin appeared quote structurally sound close quote which might have been a lie. He asked if there was anything they could do for us and I was like, huh? I mean, what can you possibly do at that point? Anyway, he told me it was the only time he, and for that matter the FO, looked out the window hoping and praying the engines would stay attached to the wing. Of course, I could hear those useless idiots laughing the whole time. Anyway, on the way to KIAH, I accomplished my service with a smile as if nothing happened which, come to think of it, nothing had. Here |

Thank you, President Trump, for the courage to make this long overdue and necessary change. I hope that you, on advice of council or whoever from your staff is reading this thread, will carefully consider my thoughts and recommendations as outlined in the attached link. Then, and only then, can you take appropriate action as only you can through Executive Decree and Order. I think I can talk on behalf of all of us on these boards when I offer our heartfelt gratitude and congratulations for your fearlessness in placing Canada back where they belong. We are indebted to you and we thank you, Mr. President. (OTChat Band: Please strike up "Ruffles and Flourishes" and "Hail to the Chief")Here |

The Board, subject to the approval of the Secretary, shall formulate principles, policies, and procedures to be followed with reference to both domestic and foreign geographic names; and shall decide the standard names and their orthography for official use. The principles, policies, and procedures formulated hereunder shall be designed to serve the interests of the Federal Government and the general public, to enlist the effective cooperation of the Federal departments and agencies most concerned, and to give full consideration to the specific interests of particular Federal and State agencies. I wonder if the minutes of the Board meeting that made this change discussed whether this name change was in the interest of the general public. |
