Champ renames Mississippi River Mount McKinley as Denali on eve of Alaska trip
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will change the name of North America's tallest mountain peak from Mount McKinley to Denali, the White House said Sunday, a major symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives on the eve of the president's historic visit to Alaska.

By renaming the peak Denali, an Athabascan word meaning "the high one," Obama waded into a sensitive and decades-old conflict between residents of Alaska and Ohio. Alaskans have informally called the mountain Denali for years, but the federal government recognizes its name invoking the 25th president, William McKinley, who was born in Ohio and assassinated early in his second term.
Little wonder Champ wishes to banish the name and legacy of President McKinley.

#1  A breeze through a tall quaking aspen;
The scratch of his pen -- Athabaskan!
His nibs dubs Denali
Deniably "Ali"
And now Al-Murtaza's Alaskan.

#2  Yep, the last President (R) that had served in the Civil War. Did more to really help blacks than the present occupant and his party of slavery. Down the memory whole in the name of (anti-majority rule) diversity.

#3  Feeding hand bitten. The cause means nothing when you're fighting Democrats. His memory shall be banished. He shall never be forgiven.

#4  an Athabascan word meaning "the high one,

I woulda gone with Mt. Choom, but that's just me.

#5  Actually, Denali was Champ's second choice.

#6  Stolen from Howie Carr's 'Chump Line' portion of his radio program (AM 680, WRKO in Boston), 'Let's rename the mountain after a Native American - Mt. Warren.'

Uhhhhhhhhh....yeahhhhhhhhhh.

#8  I think Obama, while in Alaska for a climate change summit, mistakenly thought he was renaming the highest mountain in North America to Mt. Denial.

#9  Mt. Travon didn't make the cut?
Posted by: Blossom Unains5562 || 08/31/2015 21:11 Comments || Top||

#10  Maybe he thought he was renaming the mountain after some famous Muslim Arab named Den ALI.
Posted by: junkiron || 08/31/2015 21:45 Comments || Top||

#11  Actually, junkiron, he's in Alaska for a Bear Grylls reality program.

The Climate Change fluff was secondary.

Hillary Clinton 2003: I'm “Adamantly Against Illegal Immigrants
Audio, so I guess it could have been an impostor. /sarc
They'll say she's evolved since then.
She should remember what happened to the dinosaurs...

#1  Does that include former high ranking politicians running from the law seeking political asylum?

#2  "If we can sign them up to vote for me, I'm for illegal immigration." Hillary's 2015 evolvement?

#3  Until I'm elected, then it chages.

#4  Hillary Clinton’s private email server was housed at the same physical location and on the same network as an email server used and operated by the Clinton Foundation, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.

Records reveal that Hillary Clinton’s private clintonemail.com server shared an IP address with her husband Bill Clinton’s email server, presidentclinton.com, and both servers were housed in New York City, not in the basement of the Clintons’ Chappaqua, New York home.

#8  Application of the open source hacker tool "The Harvester" to the clintonemail.com website revealed that at least 10 email addresses, in addition the one that Clinton used exclusively when she served as Secretary of State, (hdr22@clintonemail.com) were installed on the Clinton email server.

The 10 additional email addresses include:

h.clinton@clintonemail.com,
Hillary@clintonemail.com,
contact@clintonemail.com,
mau_suit@clintonemail.com,
hdr@clintonemail.com,
hdr18@clintonemail.com,
hdr19@clintonemail.com,
hdr20@clintonemail.com,
hdr21@clintonemail.com.

Also running on the Clinton server were several additional email addresses linked to the name "Huma Abedin".

Records maintained by Lexis-Nexis contains an address for huma@clintonemail.com.
Test emails sent to that to that address (prior to the Clinton server being taken off line) went through without error.
