BREAKING: "You cannot rename away our history!" Chief Margaret Sault of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation DESTROYS Trump's pathetic attempt to rename Lake Ontario.

The MAGA cult leader really bit off more than he can chew this time...

"Lake Ontario has existed for thousands of years, long before Canada and the United States became the countries we know today," Sault told Yahoo News Canada.

The word "Ontario" is rooted in indigenous language, although scholars disagree on the precise etymology. The government of Ontario officially traces it back to the Iroquois word "kanadario" which translates roughly to "sparkling water."

Earlier today, our sweaty, demented, pedophile of a President held a big splashy event in the Oval Office to scrawl on a map with a Sharpie and sign a document declaring that Lake Ontario is now "Lake America." It's the same tacky stunt that he attempted with the Gulf of America, but his administration is such a disaster now that only the most diehard MAGA cultists are falling for the distraction.

"For the Mississaugas of the Credit, this is not simply a lake on a map. It is part of our homeland and part of our history as a Nation," said Sault.

The MCFN has a long, storied connection to the western Lake Ontario area and their rights to the land are etched in a treaty dating back to 1806, after which they still controlled hundreds of thousands of acres and retained fishing rights at the Credit River, 12 Mile Creek and 16 Mile Creek.

"You can change a label on a map, but you cannot change the relationship that our people have with these lands and waters," said Sault. "You cannot rename away our history."

Trump's desperate renaming attempt is a transparent effort to pull headlines away from his failed Iran War and the Epstein files. At the same time, it's throwing red meat to his hooting, xenophobic followers who love it every time he insults or attacks a foreign country or marginalized group. These people will gladly let him torch the economy, drag us into endless wars, and cover up his sex crimes so long as they can chant "USA" at his rallies in a mindless braying mob.

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish sided with the Mississaugas of the Credit in a post on X—

"Dear Mr. Trump: Since the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation established their homes close to and along the shores of this lake, it has been our lifeblood," she wrote. "I, and everyone in Mississauga, am proud to be living along the shores of LAKE ONTARIO. We will defend its good name!"

As for us, we stand with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Canada. What about you?

Please ❤️ and share if you'll never call it Lake America!

Ships that enter the Great Lakes must travel through the Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal contains eight locks, and its entire length runs within Ontario, Canada. This means that $26.3 billion of American trade is dependent on having unimpeded access to a waterway entirely under Canadian jurisdiction. I bet Trump never thought about that.

@LakeOntario16 Don’t worry, the Province of Ontario can protect you from this US craziness by closing the whole of the St Lawrence Seaway at one end and the Welland Canal at the other to US ships. Wait until Doug Ford figures that retaliation out!

Therefore my name is MUCH older than the Canadian providence called Ontario. So all this childish behavior is literally petty BS.
I will ALWAYS be Lake Ontario.

[👑 ♤ Lake Ontario  @LakeOntario16]

I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.

Tonight, I’m making Canadian pancakes here in Nuuk, Greenland 🇬🇱

Supporting our Canadian friends and neighbours 🇨🇦

You can actually buy this Canadian pancake mix at a local store here in Nuuk — and as you can see on the price tag, it’s imported directly from Canada.

And to make it even more Canadian, I still have some Canadian maple syrup that was sent to me last year. 🍁

Canadian pancakes with Canadian maple syrup tonight!

@donwinslow Life expectancy in US is 79. 82 in Canada.
As a Canadian a few extra tax dollars to have universal health care is worth a few years of life.

BREAKING: "SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL!" Jim Acosta ERUPTS after Trump’s board votes to put his name back on Kennedy Center facade.

Journalist Jim Acosta unloaded on Donald Trump and his handpicked Kennedy Center board Thursday, warning that their latest attempt to plaster Trump's name on the building could land someone in serious legal trouble.

The backstory: a federal judge already ordered Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center's facade. Instead of complying gracefully, workers left a tarp where the name used to be. Now the board has gone further, voting to inscribe new text beneath the main signage reading "Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump" — a move the New York Times calls "an aggressive test" of the judge's order, with the board directing officials to act by "all legal means."

Acosta wasn't having it. "The fact that the Kennedy Center board would actually vote to inscribe his name on the building beneath the main signage is absolute crazy town nuttery!" he said. "Something needs to be done."

He didn't stop there. "If they start chiseling Donald Trump's name into the side of that building—or doing something to change the signage of that building in violation of a judge's order—somebody needs to go to jail! And we know it's not going to be Donald Trump, because Donald Trump will do everything possible to not go to jail. But somebody on that Kennedy Center board, the construction crews who are out there—they should know that you are not to take a chisel to the Kennedy Center and put that crazy lunatic's name on the side of that building!"

Acosta drove home why this matters beyond the legal technicalities: "It is not his building! The building was not named in his honor." He called the Kennedy Center "one of our cultural icons," warning that Trump defacing "a living memorial to John F. Kennedy, who was a real president of the United States" with his own name would be a genuine act of desecration — carried out, in Acosta's words, by "this reality TV game show, dime-store Richard Nixon who wants to act like a crook and thinks he can get away with it all the time."

Acosta's message was blunt: the board members and construction crews defying a federal judge's order aren't just embarrassing themselves. They're exposing themselves to real legal jeopardy to satisfy one man's ego.

While we hope that they do pay the consequences, we know that they’re all just a Trump pardon away from going scot-free. Such is justice in the age of the orange criminal.

BREAKING: SORRY DONNIE! Fox News DESTROYS Trump's insane lie that the Strait of Hormuz is open and under his "total control" with a brutal bubble-popping segment.

It's time for White House staff to scrape hurled burgers off the wall again...

“Usually, about one-fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas trade moves through there as well. Despite President Trump claiming total control over the Strait, traffic has slowed, really, to a trickle if you look at this," said Fox host Bret Baier on "Special Report."

Yesterday, the President made the deranged and patently false claim that the United States has "total control" over the Strait, adding "I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT."

In reality, Iran controls the Strait. Their drone and missile capabilities allow them to harass — and if need be sink — any ships that pass through without their permission. They have the world economy in a chokehold and no amount of Trumpian gaslighting is going to change that fact.

Baier explained that just 8 vessels sailed through Hormuz on Monday, followed by 14 on Tuesday. He pointed out that before the war started, more than 100 vessels a day were crossing.

In other words, thanks to Trump igniting a pointless, failed war on behalf of Israel, shipping through the Strait has cratered to roughly 10% of the pre-conflict traffic. You are paying more at the gas and grocery store because this "very stable genius" got hoodwinked by Netanyahu, the most transparent, self-serving liar imaginable.

“Now, those are constraints, and it’s changing the government’s energy outlook,” Baier said. “… And there’s another problem building as well. The International Energy Agency says global crude oil inventories fell by 2.2 million barrels a day in July. It expects a global supply deficit of 1.8 million barrels a day in the third quarter. That’s more than double its previous estimate.”

Iran itself has responded directly to Trump's false claims on X, with their Persian Gulf Strait Authority writing: "The repeated claims and Tweets by U.S. officials regarding the Strait of Hormuz being open do not change the reality: The Strait of Hormuz remains closed and will not be reopened until all of Iran’s conditions are met.”

This Hormuz debacle is the natural end point of a political movement that has become completely untethered from reality. Trump isn't interested in actually reopening the Strait because he's lazy and that would not only take hard work, but involve admitting that he lost this war. Instead, he knows that he can lie about it being open and his supporters — who couldn't point to the Persian Gulf on a map if their lives depended on it — will eagerly lap it up.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump lost this war!
