New Florida football coach Jon Sumrall didn't waste any time making his two biggest staff hires, culminating with Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. Sumrall made the moves while also coaching Tulane to the AAC title to earn a CFP bid and overseeing two recruiting classes. Sumrall's multi-tasking and expediency is a change of pace to Billy Napier's measured approach. The CFP selection committee's methods came under fire after it revealed a 12-team field without Notre Dame. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar praise Sumrall's alacrity and discuss the CFP's methodology, while also touching on a busy stretch in Florida's other sports. Home-run hires: White, Chapman (00:00) Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama (21:27) College playoff matchups (44:44) Lane train talk continues (55:03) Jon Sumrall endorsement (57:30) Men's basketball (1:02:00) Jeremy Foley's Corner: Volleyball, soccer (1:07:14)

Law enforcement rangers cleared an illegal cannabis grow in Sequoia National Park, where they found thousands of plants, toxic chemicals, and major environmental damage. A new national park could be coming to Florida—legislation has been introduced to study the creation of “Florida Springs National Park.” Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, joining a growing movement across the Park Service. Plus: new hunting and fishing opportunities at wildlife refuges, the Maurice Bathhouse restoration at Hot Springs, a fruitless year at Capitol Reef's orchards, and more.

On June 20, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 56 into law, criminalizing geoengineering and certain weather modification activities in the state, with violations classified as a third-degree felony.“They were intending to alter the trajectory of hurricanes using things like silver as a way to change the precipitation and intensity of these storms. Later, in Vietnam, for example, they used it for increasing weather, such as precipitation, on the so-called ‘enemy.' Project Popeye [using cloud-seeding] is well-established to have been a successful weaponization of the weather. So, there is a pretty long history of weather modification and militarization of weather modification technology,” says Sayer Ji, chairman of the Global Wellness Forum and founder of GreenMedInfo.com.“What the main concern is, is that there are other operations that are clandestine [where] we don't actually know what the agenda is, outside of official acknowledgement that solar radiation management technologies are being deployed, which include using things like sulfur, calcium, titanium—various elements to create a dimming effect,” he said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
