Anyone with plans to vacation in Venezuela..........

May want to rethink it.................

The United States has seized a plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flown it from the Dominican Republic to Florida after determining that its purchase violated U.S. sanctions, the U.S. Justice Department said on Monday.

The seizure of the aircraft came amid continuing pressure on Maduro at home and abroad over a contested July 28 election that he claimed to have won, while the opposition said its vote tallies showed its candidate to have soundly defeated him.

Maduro, his associates and the OPEC member-state's vital oil sector are under heavy U.S. sanctions, and his handling of the election has raised the prospects that further measures could be imposed.

“This morning, the Justice Department seized an aircraft we allege was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolás Maduro and his cronies,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

U.S. officials said the seizure, which was first reported by CNN, was made working closely with the Dominican Republic.

The Venezuelan government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Our recruiting ranking!

Has anyone looked at our recruiting ranking for 2025? We have steadily dropped from a top 10 class to number 22, in the Rivals rankings. I guess since the portal has become so big, HS recruiting doesn't seem as important. But, it seems to me that most of the top 10 AP/ Coaches poll teams have mostly HS recruits and not so much transfer players.

So the 2024 SEC Media Pre Season Poll looked like this predicting Georgia to win the SEC and Vanderbilt to finish last.

Look at who had to play who in the top 10 of this poll and look who tu didn't have to play....This is so ridiculous.

You guys have really opened my eyes on the special treatment tu get's whether it's getting into the SEC over an agreement A&M had with the conference to be the only SEC team in the state, or call reversals in the biggest games like we witnessed Saturday night or in this case the special treatment of their schedule when it comes to only having to play one....just one of the old SEC heavy weights in Georgia.

Georgia: Ole Miss, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn.

Texas: Oklahoma, Georgia and Texas A&M

Alabama: Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, LSU, Oklahoma and Auburn

Ole Miss: Oklahoma, Georgia and LSU

LSU: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama and Oklahoma

Missouri: Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Auburn

Tennessee: Georgia, Oklahoma and Alabama

Oklahoma: Tennessee, Auburn, Texas, Ole Miss, Missouri, Alabama and LSU

Texas A&M: Missouri, LSU, Auburn and Texas

Auburn: Oklahoma, Georgia, Missouri, Texas A&M and LSU

Kentucky: Georgia, Ole Miss, Auburn ans Texas

fu: Texas A&M, Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas and LSU

South Carolina: LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Missouri

Arkansas: Auburn, Texas A&M, Tennessee, LSU, Ole Miss and Texas

Mississippi State: Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Missouri

Vanderbilt: Missouri, Alabama, Texas, Auburn, LSU and Tennessee

Also compare what the SEC schedule makers did to Oklahoma then look at tu. They clearly set Oklahoma up for failure while giving tu the keys to the conference.
