Israel to name a train station after Donald Trump. Oh they are definitely going to regret this.

The Israeli government is to name a train station after President Donald Trump following his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel earlier this month. 

The station will be built at the Western Wall, the site where Jews pray and believe to be a standing wall of the Second Temple, an ancient holy site revered in Judaism. Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the site in May. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet lauded the Dec. 6 announcement as a recognition of reality and were moved to show their appreciation to the American leader.

"The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and I decided to name the train station that leads to it after President Trump—following his historic and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel," Israeli Transportation Minister Israel Katz said, according to The Jerusalem Post.

I think it is becoming fairly obvious that the Trump presidency is going to end in scandal, so I would predict that Israel is going to be very unhappy about this decision.

Probably within the next year or so.

After all there is a reason we do not have a connecting flight at the Richard Nixon airport, or drive down the Richard M. Nixon turnpike.

At some point Trump's name will be used as a derogatory remark or insult, along the lines of "Boy he really Trumped that up didn't he?" or " Trump you, for driving like that!" 

I mean if the Netanyahu wanted to insult it citizens why not call it the Adolph Hitler train station?

After all there ARE a number of similarities.

Look out Alaskans! The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming!

Russia has given the thumbs up to a £60billion project which would see a 65-mile tunnel dug under the Bering Strait, connecting Asia with North America. 

If plans go ahead, the journey from London to New York could take a mere three weeks, covering three continents along the way. 

The proposed tunnel would pass underneath the Big Diomede and Little Diomede islands and straddle the international dateline to link East and West. Engineers have said there is no technical reason the tunnel could not be completed and it could provide a cheaper way of shipping freight around the world. 

Okay speaking as somebody who has NEVER visited Europe, and hates to fly, I am all over this idea.

Even though taking a train under the ice of the Bering Straight on the way to Russia, sounds like the paper thin plot of a low budget disaster movie, I would LOVE to be one the first people to travel this way.

And IF it actually comes to fruition, it could be huge boost to the economy of Alaska. Just saying.

Of course once the Republicans find out about this tunnel they will probably demand that we build a fence to keep the "Russkies" from coming into our country and taking jobs away from Americans.

Or perhaps they will just hire Sarah Palin to "shoo them" back through the tunnel if they dare to "rear their heads" on our side of the Bering Straight.

She just ruins EVERYTHING!
