- October 30, 2025, 12:00:51 PMPublic universities in Florida may soon have to hire more Americans, thanks to a decision from Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In an announcement on October 29, DeSantis directed the Florida Board of Governors to "pull the plug" on the use of H-1B visas for faculty and staff at Florida state universities.
In explaining the decision, DeSantis criticized companies for prioritizing visa-holders over American workers: "These tech companies will fire Americans and hire H-1B at a discount. ... This is basically, in some respects, cheap labor that they're bringing in to try to save money."
The governor said these practices hurt American workers, who should be first in line at American universities.

While they claim to be for the cessation of hostilities in the middle east, the reality is quite the opposite; they WANT the war to continue.
Because if the war ends, if peace is actually achieved, they are without something to carp and cry and seethe about. They become irrelevant. They no longer get that warm squishy feeling in their panties that they love so very, very much.
In sort, they are sick and in need of electrical fucken treatment. Or taken behind the shed and beaten on with rubber truncheons, whatever. A lifetime of misrepresenting their true desires has biologically wired their bowels to their sweaty chapped lips and they can no longer open them without spewing disingenuous shit all over the place.
(too harsh? fuck you, I don't care)

- October 11, 2024, 08:45:22 PMDuring a Thursday press briefing, Florida governor Ron DeSantis came prepared with the facts on hurricane history, schooling a reporter who tried to blame tornadoes caused by Hurricane Milton on global warming.
Two hurricanes and dozens of tornadoes have hit Florida in the last couple of weeks.
When asked by a reporter whether he thinks the increase in tornadoes could be linked to climate change, DeSantis responded, "I think you can go back and find tornadoes for all of human history for sure."

When Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida late Wednesday, it had a barometric pressure of roughly 950 millibars, the governor stated.
"I think, if you go back to 1851, there's probably been 27 hurricanes that have had lower [barometric pressure] — so the lower the barometric pressure, the stronger it is," he continued. "I think there have been about 27 hurricanes that have had lower barometric pressure on landfall than Milton did, and of those, 17 occurred, I think, prior to 1960."
The most powerful hurricane to hit Florida since the 1850s was the Labor Day Hurricane in the 1930s, which had a barometric pressure of 892 millibars, according to DeSantis.
"It totally wiped out the Keys. We've never seen anything like it, and that remains head and shoulders above any powerful hurricane that we've ever had in the state of Florida," DeSantis said.
He noted that the state's most deadly storm was the Okeechobee hurricane in 1928, which killed more than 4,000 people.
DeSantis added that Hurricane Ian, which killed 149 people in Florida two years ago, "wasn't even close to that."
"I just think people should put this in perspective. They try to take different things that happen with tropical weather and act like it's something; there's nothing new under the sun. This is something that the state has dealt with for its entire history, and it's something that we'll continue to deal with," he said.
DeSantis argued that what has changed is Florida's population.
"We've got 23 million people. A storm that hits is likely to hit more people and property than it would have a hundred years ago. And so the potential for that damage has grown," he continued, adding that the state's prevention ability has also significantly improved.
"We never did the pre-staging of power assets until I became governor. Now, people, like, expect that, but that wasn't what was done in the past. That's why people would be out with power for three weeks when we'd have hurricanes," DeSantis stated.

Kinda convenient to see all these storms hitting red areas right before an election where the dem nominee is expected to be slaughtered in, huh?

- October 06, 2024, 12:35:42 AMOh, and if those choices above seem overly harsh, just remember this much... normal people accept the designations meted out at birth to them. We do not consider it as a choice as much as we accept it as a fact.
And facts do not care about your feelings, any more than they care the rest of us. You'd have to be damaged to think it was any other way and terminally arrogant to thint that bullying the world into saying otherwise would change any of this.
So drink a bag of cement and harden the fuck up, buttercup.

- October 04, 2024, 11:26:22 AMRon DeSantis announced his order to send the National Guard to end a damaging union strike at ports on the Gulf Coast.
"At my direction, the Florida National Guard and the Florida State Guard will be deployed to critical ports affected by the strike to maintain order and, where possible, resume operations," he said to reporters Thursday from Manatee County.
"It is unacceptable for the Biden-Harris administration to allow supply chain interruptions to hurt people who are reeling from a category 4 hurricane," he added.

Florida is right to bar biological males from biological females sports, prisons & washrooms. They're stealing their identity.
I actually agree with you folks on the Right in that regard...Lokmar.
