Trump said tariffs will cause prices to drop. So why is he warning manufacturers not to raise prices?

The Orlando Philharmonic Foundation.

The foundation admitted children in defiance of DeSantis, posting only a disclaimer at the front door stating that “while we are not restricting access to anyone under 18 please be advised some may think the context is not appropriate for under 18,” the letter said. Some children who participated in the event appeared to be less than six years old, according to the letter.

Performers allegedly wore sexually suggestive clothing and prosthetic female breasts and genitalia, which were exposed to the audience in addition to their buttocks. Other disturbing scenes, the letter alleged, included performers simulating masturbation, childbirth, and abortion.

The audience was also subject to sexualized parodies of popular children’s Christmas songs. For example, an adaptation of “All I want for Christmas was my two front teeth” was presented with an allusion to oral fellatio in the line “I’ll sit on his lap, he can put his milk and cookies all between my gap,” the letter explained.


The man knows how to pick a hill to die on. If this is true...

On this one, I can't wait for the knee-jerk defense of the victims of DeSantis’s actions.

Can one of you LGBT community supporters splain why a philharmonic would even... I don't get it.

    Florida law allow unaccompanied minors to enter bars?!

    Or if minors are with their parents, why is Big Brother telling parents what their children can or cannot see?

    Thanks, Curt.

    The issue is if a an enterprise possessing a liquor license can do what the philharmonic did.

    DeSantis ain't attempting to shut down the Orlando Philharmonic Fondation, only to rescind its liquor license.

    pb don't know what the obligations are for holders of state liquor licenses in Florida.

    If DeSantis’s charges are accurate, do you personally support the Philharmonic's program?

    It’s not something I would go to see with or without kids. Apparently the philharmonic didn’t break any existing laws. I doubt any kids will be scarred having attended the performance.

    We have an analogous situation here in Ashland. The Oregon Shakespearean Festival has been attended by millions of theatregoers. They serve wine in the lobby; obviously that's part of their revenue. Sometimes there are parental advisories alerting ticket buyers to "partial nudity" or "strong language". It's up to the parents---as it should be--whether they want to bring the kids.

    Taking away the Philharmonic's liquor license and that revenue is punitive. It's the sort of trivial cultural war issues that DeSantis specializes in to impress the hypocritical rubes who claim they favor parental control over government control.
