DeSantis Orders Florida Colleges To Shut Down Pro-Palestinian Student Groups That Expressed Support For Hamas
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ordered the state to crack down on collegiate student groups that showed support for Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood terrorist attacks against Israel two weeks ago.
The governor directed Ray Rodrigues, chancellor of the State University System of Florida, to send notices to the University of Florida and the University of South Florida notifying them that they must deactivate their chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) because they allegedly broke Florida laws about terrorism.
“During a holy Jewish holiday, the recognized terrorist organization, Hamas, launched an unprovoked attack on Israel – among those killed were babies, women, and elderly,” Rodrigues said in a letter to the presidents of Florida’s public universities. “To date, approximately 1,400 Israelis have been killed, including 31 American citizens. Governor DeSantis, our State University System and the Florida College System have condemned these attacks.”

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
So much for freedom of speech. I wonder if Ron would do the same for people speaking ill of him? Or speaking ill of Christians? Or Islam? Or Hinduism? He is not an America first presidential candidate. He sucks the dingus of Israel, and the US is only a second thought to him.

Everyone has been wondering what happened to Governor DeSantis’ Grand Jury, the one tasked with reviewing the government’s covid response and whether big pharma (or anyone else) defrauded Floridians. The Florida Supreme Court convened the 12-month grand jury about, well, a year ago. The Grand Jury just issued its first report.
As it should have, the Grand Jury has worked in secret, which frankly has frustrated a few people. I’ve seen more than a few blackpilled comments whining that it’s all hopeless; it’s going nowhere; we should’ve heard something by now, and so forth. Well, I am pleased to report that the Grand Jury issued its first interim report yesterday, and you’re going to love it. The report’s conclusion poignantly observed, “It is a sad state of affairs when something as simple as following the science constitutes an act of heresy, but here we are.”
The 30-page (double-spaced) report is required reading for every literate adult who survived the last four years. It’s well-written in plain English and understandable to anyone with a GED equivalent, and even to some people from Portland. The Grand Jury addressed the first two government interventions, lockdowns and mask mandates, and found neither followed the science, despite terrific and ultimately terrible costs. Later reports will cover vaccines.
Corporate media ignored the news, of course, but yesterday the New York Post ran the story headlined, “Federal agencies refuse to cooperate with Florida grand jury investigating COVID-19 vaccines, interim report reveals.” From the report’s description, here’s what they’ve been up to so far:
Strangely, every single federal agency refused to comply with subpoenas and other requests from Florida’s Grand Jury:
Happily, the Grand Jury determined they don’t need the federal agencies. I know just how they feel. There is enough information from other sources, published agency guidance, and Congressional testimony, so that the jurors easily bypassed federal efforts to obstruct them.
This well-written, even-handed, non-controversial report is the first step toward accounting for the chaotic, dictatorial, and ultimately counter-productive pandemic response by federal, state, and local officials. Unfortunately, the people who most need this information will refuse to see. But it is now in the record. Under our form of representative government, the people — not experts, politicians, or unelected bureaucrats — hold ultimate authority. This Grand Jury report constitutes the people’s voice, and the people are not impressed.
It is difficult to calculate the depth of gratitude owed to Governor DeSantis and a large number of courageous Floridians, both in and out of government, who contributed to the preparation and publication of this badly-needed review. We look forward to the Grand Jury’s next report with great interest. Read it and comment!

University of Florida FIRES all 28 of its DEI employees after DeSantis law bans schools from using state money for diversity, equity and inclusion
- The move, laid bare in a leaked administrative memo, serves as the latest example of the state's mission to eliminate DEI initiatives from public institutions
- University Director of Public Affairs Cynthia Roldan confirmed the cut consisted of 13 full-time positions, as well 15 administrative appointments - 28 in total
- It also marks an end to the school's office devoted to diversity, opened six years ago. The next year, Ron DeSantis became governor, passing several laws since
The University of Florida has eliminated all positions affiliated with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
The move, laid bare in a leaked administrative memo, serves as the latest in the state's mission to nix DEI initiatives from public institutions.
University Director of Public Affairs Cynthia Roldan confirmed the cut consisted of 13 full-time positions, as well 15 administrative appointments - 28 in total.
It also marks an end to the school's office devoted to diversity, opened just six years ago. The next year, Republican Ron DeSantis would become governor, and has since passed a litany of laws to rid schools of lessons and literature surrounding DEI.
The leaked memo cites one such law - a state Board of Governors regulation that prohibits public universities in the state from expending state or federal funds to maintain programs that 'advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion.'
DeSantis: Haitians Who Illegally Arrive In Florida ‘Very Well’ Could Be Sent To Martha’s Vineyard
DeSantis said that it was vital that the state of Florida interdict any vessel carrying illegal aliens before they hit the state’s shores because the state can’t push them back across the border like the state of Texas can since it borders Mexico.
“We do have our transport program also that’s going to be operational,” DeSantis said. “So Haitians land in the Florida Keys, their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard.”
DeSantis said last week amid reports that a large influx of Haitians could illegally enter the state that Florida “has been dedicating significant resources to combat illegal vessels coming to Florida from countries such as Haiti.”
Pressley taking fauxfense over DeSantis' remarks was a little bit like saying the quiet part out loud for her.
I mean how is sending the Haitians who are fleeing their country to a city and state that has boasted of being welcoming and accommodating to illegal immigrants exploitative? Further, wouldn't that by far be the most compassionate thing that could be done?
Or is what Pressley saying here essentially the same thing that was said by residents and local officials the last time around? A refresher:
The Hill ran a story Wednesday misleadingly headlined, “DeSantis says he might send any Haitian immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.” The Hill’s moronic headline was misleading because the Haitians are garden-variety border-jumpers, not immigrants.
Haiti — an island a few hundred miles from Florida’s coast — is up to its sacrificial voodoo chickens in a bloody civil war. Early this week, amidst the chaos, one of Haiti’s worst prisons allowed around 4,000 hardcore offenders to escape, and they were rumored to be sailing to the Sunshine State. In a podcast interview Tuesday, Florida Governor DeSantis told podcast host Dana Loesch that, “We do have our transport program also that’s going to be operational. So, Haitians land in the Florida Keys, their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard.”
Chic sanctuary city Martha’s Vineyard would be a great destination for the border-jump… I mean the restless souls yearning to be free. But, sadly for the Haitians, they are about to discover they escaped one CIA-fueled civil war to land right in another.
DeSantis’s press conference about the interdictions last week was extremely encouraging. DeSantis said that since January, Florida has interdicted six hundred and seventy Haitian border-swamping boats and thirteen thousand illegal aliens. He described a boat Florida stopped packed with 25 military-aged Haitians with drugs, guns, and night vision gear. So they’re not poor.
CLIP: DeSantis’s Polk County press conference on interdictions (5:30).
It’s five minutes worth watching. Interestingly, and great for Florida, DeSantis explained that legally, under maritime law it’s easier to send a boat back where it came from than to have to deal with illegals once they’ve jumped the border and are on U.S. territory. He also announced another surge of national guardsmen and law enforcement to help block the Haitian exodus.
DeSantis also criticized Joe Biden’s fantastic scheme of flying illegals into the U.S. As an example, the Governor mentioned a Haitian that Biden flew to Massachusetts earlier this month, who immediately sexually assaulted a disabled 15-year-old girl.
The whole thing is so insane that it almost seems like the Biden Administration is deliberately creating a problem so that citizens will demand the solution Biden wanted to do in the first place. But what?
