| | Breaking Updates | | University of Florida Puts Columbia to Shame with 'Perfect Statement' After Arresting Agitators: 'Not a Daycare' | While universities across the country have let anti-Israel demonstrators take over their campuses, the University of Florida has taken a different approach. Not only will school administrators not think twice about removing disruptive agitators from university property, but a UF spokesman tacitly fired off an insult at pro-Hamas, American lost youth on Monday. Nine people were arrested in Gainesville after protesters chose to ignore warnings from the school in regard to what would and wouldn't be allowed on campus.
Campus police and state troopers rolled in on Monday and started slapping handcuffs on people, WKMG-TV in Orlando reported. Steve Orlando, the university's assistant vice president of communications, issued a statement likening the agitators to small children.
"This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they'll face the consequences," he said Monday. Orlando added that the rules for what would be acceptable from demonstrators were communicated clearly and that the people who were arrested were responsible for their life choices.
"For many days, we have patiently told protesters — many of whom are outside agitators — that they were able to exercise their right to free speech and free assembly," he said. "And we also told them that clearly prohibited activities would result in a trespassing order from UPD (barring them from all university properties for three years) and an interim suspension from the university."
People can be as upset about Israel's war against Islamic terrorists as they want, but they do not have a right to take over public property. While other university heads have let anti-Semitism brew and erupt on their campuses, Sasse and Florida have shown that the problem can be solved for anyone willing to stand on the side of order. | Read more updates here |

| | California Deputy Sheriff Busted While Trafficking Fentanyl for Mexican Drug Cartel | A former California deputy sheriff was arrested last year after being caught smuggling more than 100 pounds of fentanyl pills. His arrest was part of an investigation into the Sinaloa drug cartel previously run by "El Chapo." Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, 25, is believed to have been part of an intricate drug smuggling enterprise, using his position as a law enforcement official to aid the operations of the Mexican cartel.
Oceguera-Rocha was caught up in an investigation conducted by Riverside County sheriff's investigators who were surveilling him. They had been monitoring the former deputy's phone calls and picked him up as he was on his way from Victorville to Calimesa.
Oceguera-Rocha, 25, on Monday pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of narcotics for sale and transportation with the intent to distribute narcotics, both felonies, along with a sentencing enhancement of possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony. The Banning resident, who had been assigned to the jail in that city, faces a maximum of 10 years in custody if convicted as charged, the District Attorney's Office said.
The authorities found out about Oceguera-Rocha's activities when they intercepted a call in September in which he said he would be traveling to a narcotics stash house in Victorville. He left about ten minutes after arriving at the house and headed to Calimesa. As Oceguera-Rocha neared County Line Road on the 10 Freeway in Calimesa, a narcotics interdiction deputy pulled him over. A drug-detecting K9 alerted deputies to the odor of narcotics.
In the trunk, the document says, deputies found four trash bags containing square-shaped packages wrapped with cellophane.
Inside the packages were blue, fentanyl-laced M30 pills — almost 520,000 of them, the document says.
Fentanyl smuggled over the southern border has become a deadly problem for many Americans, especially amid the ongoing border crisis. Cartels have been taking advantage of the problems at the border, smuggling drugs and people into the country. | Read more updates here |
