After Florida State football’s blowout win over Virginia Tech on Saturday, Florida State soccer defeated the Boston College Eagles 6-0 on Sunday afternoon. This marks the Seminole’s fourth straight win over the Eagles, and FSU has outscored the Eagles 16-1 in the last three meetings.

FLORIDA NEWS

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has condemned pro-Hamas rallies that took place across Florida over the weekend, including in Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale. DeSantis said that Hamas is “a terrorist group that is dedicated to the destruction of Israel and committing atrocities to further that end.”

Similarly, DeSantis said that the Hamas attacks are equivalent to 9/11 for Israel. He continued by saying that he stands with them and that the United States recognizes Israel’s right to defend their nation.

Florida State House Democrat Leader Fentrice Driskell said she is confident that a federal court will rule against the DeSantis administration and the state in their congressional redistricting effort from last year. But Driskell said there’s a difference between the policy disagreement House Democrats maintained regarding the maps drawn by the Republican Legislature and the one later produced by DeSantis’ staff.

No Casinos, Inc., the group behind a 2018 ballot measure opposing gambling expansion, seeks to support a legal challenge against a deal granting the Seminole Tribe control over sports betting in Florida. The 2021 compact between Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Seminole Tribe, and state lawmakers allowed the tribe to offer sports betting, craps, and roulette while pledging substantial payments to the state, but legal disputes have put sports betting on hold.

  1. Democrats hate moms and liberty, but they love Palestinians and Iran. Democrats tell you that men can have babies. They lie and support evil at every opportunity, whether it’s killing babies in the womb whenever they want to or transitioning your child’s gender and keeping it secret from you. Democrats are the embodiment of depravity. Period. They are the west’s equivalent of Hamas.
