A lot of it is just that Florida is such a meme these days that every little news story that's slightly crazy gets spread far and wide, while equally batshit things happen in other states but don't get quite as much attention.

they seem a little freaky but in a good way

I went to my first drag show in key west and they have a nudist bar right on the main road(duval). It's a cool place that is pretty accepting of most people. Also the slushee bar across from the nudist one is cheap and good. It's beautiful and doesn't feel like the rest of Florida at all.

See its totally not racist to oppose affirmative action because Asian-Americans are affected too! (I haven't read the whole thing yet but just that far is far enough to see the bugfuck insanity)

I went to Saint Thomas Aquinas and tuition for normal kids was like 14K a year for the first kid and the second one was like 8 or 9K.



I played on a baseball "scholarship" that was a really heavy discount on tuition...or a grant. I'm not sure my parents didn't tell me. They paid full price for my sister. Alot of the black kids on the football team didn't pay anything obv due to need and the fact that they were athletic freaks.

If you got any money in SFL your kid goes to STA, American Heritage, Chammada Madonna (spelling) , Cardinal Gibbons or River Everglades.

High school bro.14k for high school. Not including books or food lol.

But God drat that athletic program.

Speaking of civil wars, Russia's casualties in Syria may be higher than they've been reporting. We're still talking about double digit casualties, but it still shows that they're anxious about the blowback. This article talks about graves of the dead being placed in high-security military cemeteries, and dates of death being obscured.

Venezuela vote count allegedly manipulated

The CEO of the voting technology company Smartmatic says the results of Venezuela’s election for an assembly to rewrite the constitution were tampered with.

Antonio Mugica told reporters in London on Wednesday that there was a discrepancy of 1 million votes between the turnout figures announced by the government and those recorded by his systems.

Mugica said “it is therefore with the deepest regret that we have to report that the turnout figures on Sunday, 30 July, for the Constituent Assembly in Venezuela were tampered with.”

Smartmatic was a company created by Venezuelans that provided electronic voting machines used during the administration of the late President Hugo Chavez.

In recent years it has branched out to provide the same services to countries across the world, while continuing to provide support for elections in Venezuela.

We had the biggest crowds! We had all 535 senators and representatives there, all of whom agreed that it was the best speech that had ever been given there. The best speech since George Washington, at least, maybe earlier. And- a lot of people don't know this, but it's starting to come out more and more- all nine members of the Supreme Court were there, including Justice Gorsuch, who everyone is agreeing is the newest justice. Also my cabinet and Vice President Pence were there, who still congratulates me on my victory today. Just the other day Mike was saying "Oh Trump, I don't know how you did it, but you did it the best. The best there is, you won it!"

Ah, Ivanka, nice of you to join us. She was worried that we wouldn't win Michigan or Ohio because it's so hard for a Republican to win those states, but here we are. Crooked Hillary couldn't win those states despite all the Crooked Media and Fake News, but we won. We won by the biggest margin ever, which everyone at the State of the Union address agrees upon even if they're a democrat.

So Trump signed the newer betterer sanctions against Russia into law, and surprise!

There's a gap that allows western companies to keep on keepin' on


Reuters posted:

OSLO/MOSCOW (Reuters) - A gap in U.S. sanctions allows Western companies to help Russia develop some of its most technically challenging oil reserves, and risks undermining the broad aim of the measures, a Reuters investigation has found.

When Washington imposed the sanctions on Moscow in 2014 over its annexation of Crimea and role in the Ukraine conflict, the U.S Treasury said it wanted to "impede Russia's ability to develop so-called frontier or unconventional oil resources".

The restrictions were designed to prevent Russia countering declining output from conventional wells by tapping these hard-to-recover reserves which require newer extraction techniques like fracking, an area where it relies on Western technology.

Three years on, however, Norway's Statoil is helping Kremlin oil giant Rosneft (ROSN.MM) develop unconventional resources while British major BP (BP.L) is considering a similar project.

Statoil is not breaching sanctions, nor would BP be doing so.

"Further, the bill sends a clear message to Iran and North Korea that the American people will not tolerate their dangerous and destabilizing behavior. America will continue to work closely with our friends and allies to check those countries malignant activities.


I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars. That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As President, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress."
