In his latest Truth Social post, President Donald Trump declared that we ought to change the name of New Mexico to New America. Granted, this state is always being confused with Mexico but this is not a good idea. Especially as the current postal abbreviation is NM. Now it would have to be NA. This is blatantly unfair seeing as how I have just bought a passel of spiffy return envelope stickers with Albuquerque, NM printed on them. Am I to toss these perfectly good stickers?
No, I say. And further, if a new name is needed we should use a new name with NM in it such as New Maracas or Noisy Machinery or my personal favorite Novelty Muffins. There is no need to confuse the Postal Service with a new abbreviation. Heaven knows they already have enough problems.
Of course the Democrats who run this state would be sure to complain of my idea. No, they’d want something that truly fits their view of the state such as No Money. Let’s face it, the Democrats here never have enough money which they can use to continuously bribe themselves back in office with public giveaways, benefits, and dubious new spending programs that employ half the population of every county.
No, Mr. President, we can’t have New America as our new state name. Perhaps something that would help our state stand out on world maps such as a saucy sobriquet like Naughty Mountains would be in order. Such a name would grab the public’s attention, piquing the curiosity of vacation travelers everywhere. Certainly this would be a great boon to our tourist industry.
