It is almost impossible to keep up with the flurry of executive orders coming from President Trump’s desk. This evening President Trump signed a proclamation as he flew over the former Gulf of Mexico on the way to the Super Bowl declaring today National Gulf of America Day. It says in part:
“Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day.
On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172 (“Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness”). Among other actions, that Executive Order required the Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, to “take all appropriate actions to rename as the ‘Gulf of America’ the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.
Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of America since its renaming. As my Administration restores American pride in the history of American greatness, it is fitting and appropriate for our great Nation to come together and commemorate this momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of America.”
To top everything else off, according to the US Debt Clock, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has saved American taxpayers over $76 billion so far!! The Democrats are having a fit! I wonder why. What is it they don’t want the American people to know??
One of the areas of mismanagement that DOGE has discovered is within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). You know – Dr. Anthony Fauci’s agency. Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Joni Ernst (R-IA) uncovered a link between the NIH and the Super Bowl!!
“We’ve been focusing on the Super Bowl, and what we have seen is about $1.2 million spent by the National Institutes of Health on a pair of studies to figure out if there is more binge drinking on Super Bowl Sunday, and then if there is a baby boom nine months later in the winning team city,” Senator Ernst told the Guardian.
According to the Post Millennial: “One study, conducted in 2017 and titled “Super Bowl Babies’: Do Counties with Super Bowl Winning Teams Experience Increases in Births Nine Months Later?” received $710,000 in funding. A second study published in 2014 and titled “Super Bowl Sunday: Risky Business for At-Risk (Male) Drinkers” was given $563,800. “
Senator Ernst concluded, “The NIH, maybe they just think, well, we’ve got the money, so we’re going to spend it. Well, what I would be saying right now is, I’m sorry you’re not going to get that money anymore because you’ve wasted it.”
Apparently, the NIH has nothing better to do than waste taxpayer dollars on useless studies. Perhaps the money would be better spent on stopping sex trafficking, which happens during the Super Bowl as it does everyday across America.
According to the National Center to End Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE):
