 The US quietly added 386,000 square miles of territory last month

The US quietly added hundreds of thousands of square miles to its territory last month.

The new land is part of the extended continental shelf or ECS, the area under relatively shallow water found over 200 nautical miles from the coast.

The US Geological Survey and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began mapping the area back in 2003.
 
On December 19, the Department of State announced that the US had added 386,000 square miles overall.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Democrats need to get ahold of their climate guru and get him hot on the oceans enveloping the earth as they've been threatening. *****rollingeyes*****
