A Republican Congressman from Georgia has introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that would give a new name to Greenland as President Donald Trump continues his efforts to purchase the island.
Named the “Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025,” the bill, introduced by Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter, seeks to rename the island from Greenland to a more colorful Red, White and Blueland.
The act would direct the new Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to oversee the change and implement it on official documentation and maps to refer to Greenland by the updated name.
Let’s simplify this. Just rename every country with a nice simple easy to pronounce white person type name. France could be Sally, Russia could be Jim, China could be Kathy, Brazil could be Joe.
Smaller countries could have pet names, so as not to use up all the names too fast. Belgium could be Spot, Ireland could be Mittens, Iceland could be Snoopy.
Dumb? I don’t know. Even six months ago this would indisputably be an Onion story (or at least a Chyron beneath an actually funny story). Now. it’s just the the new normal and unfortunately not at all weird.
Republicans have gotten disturbingly creepy in a short period of time. Despite being disinclined to believe in the supernatural there does seem to be some weird magic in the air…
Well, Greenland does sound like an environmentalist’s Utopia, and we can’t be having that. Actually, it just occured to me that this could be a way of getting the Right to embrace green energy – just rename it Patriot Power.
I don’t think it is dumb.
What I do think is that it’s really, really weird. Like, astoundingly weird.
