Chicago—A Chicago mother says a Cook County judge has taken away her parental rights after learning that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19. In what all parties agree is a very unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, a judge at Chicago’s Daley Center has stripped Rebecca Firlit of custody because she refuses to get a vaccination shot.(Snip)She says out of the blue, Cook County Judge James Shapiro asked her whether she had been vaccinated. Firlit told Shapiro she had not because she has had bad reactions to vaccines in the past. Shapiro then ordered that Firlit be stripped of all parenting time with her son

Comments:

The Democrat "party of civil rights" has no problem trashing basic civil rights by forcing people to inject chemicals they don't want into their bodies, and the Republican "party of personal liberty" raises not even a fingertip in objection to prevent the people being bulldozed by the government.

Frankly, until a few of us who get zinged by these self-righteous professional busybodies start putting them in their places, this will only get worse. And by "places" i'm talking of includibg six feet under. Officials who abuse their power need to find out what the Second Amendment means...

Whatdahey! Is this the egomaniac judge's first move toward a campaign for Mayor of Chicago or Governor of Illinois? If so, he's a shoe-in for either job given the doofuses who have held those positions before him.

Folks, we are on our own. If we think anyone (government officials, the police, the Republican Party, the military, etc, etc, etc) is actually going to stand up for our Constitutional rights, we are in for a massive amount of disappointment. Sadly, I have the very real feeling that this is how it felt to sane people living in Germany in the mid 1930's as they watched their rights disappear, and their neighbors being herded onto cattle cars to "work camps"...

I have adult children who refuse to get the shot. They are beginning to encounter overt hostility to their choice. Some people seem quite comfortable asking vaccination status. What gives anyone the right to ask that of strangers??

Kids don’t die even if they catch it. If they catch it they have antibodies and immunity. This is extremely concerning if some judge can get away with this.

#4 I’ve had the vaccine on the recommendation of my hematologist. It did not produce any antibodies to the virus. I will not have the booster against her advice. If any one asks if I’ve been jabbed my answer is yes. Period. It is none of their business to start with. It’s an insulting and stupid question as my situation highlights. They might have an answer to their question but they don’t have the facts. Too dumb to know the difference. I don’t feel bad for them. And no one who knows me has ever asked. It’s always a stranger.

You are so correct, #3. We in red states feel same as people in blue states about that. I heard Bill Maher (!) now we have the answer to the question often asked since the 1950’s. How could the German police and soldiers just go along with what an evil Hitler government told them to do? Answer: We are hearing the same answers they later gave. I was doing my job. I wasn’t going to lose my job and my pension. There are not very many Bonhoeffers, Schellers. We don’t have another Republican with the skill set to protect us that Donald J. Trump had.

This whole vaxxed/unvaxxed brouhaha is getting way out of hand. What's next? Scarlet letters? Stars sewn on clothing? Cattle cars full of resisters to the re-education camp? Considering that the original vaccines are essentially ineffectual against the current mutations of the virus, anyone who allows their self to be stampeded into getting jabbed is an idiot.

Lost in all of this is the fact that vaccinated people are more likely to spread COVID to others than unvaccinated people.

Kabul, Afghanistan—Three children were killed in a drone strike that U.S. officials said struck a vehicle carrying Islamic State suicide bombers, an Afghan official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns. U.S. officials said the vehicle was carrying explosives and that the initial strike on Sunday set off secondary explosions. The American officials said the bombers planned to attack Kabul’s international airport, where a massive airlift is still underway ahead of a Tuesday deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces.

Whistleblowers say the US Environmental Protection Agency has been falsifying dangerous new chemicals’ risk assessments in an effort to make the compounds appear safe and quickly approve them for commercial use. Over the past five years, the EPA has not rejected any new chemicals submitted by industry despite agency scientists flagging dozens of compounds for high toxicity. Four EPA whistleblowers and industry watchdogs say a revolving door between the agency and chemical companies is to blame, and that the program’s management has been “captured by industry”. The charges are supported by emails, documents and additional records that were provided to the Guardian.

The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s. Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart. This poisonous doubt is having a tangible effect on enrollment. Despite the fact that public education is free, parents are sending their children to private schools with more reliable, more predictable policies. Enrollment in public schools nationwide declined by 3 percent last year. But it was the numbers for kindergarten enrollment

At this point, the Pentagon is best known for publicly downplaying the threat the Taliban posed for taking over all of Afghanistan, and for greenlighting closing its largest operational base in Central Asia. It’s still purging competent minds but retaining and encouraging its woke drones. Gen. Mark Milley, the 21st-century version of Gen. Custer, still has a job. Biden has lied, or remains unaware, about the fact that our allies are livid at him and questioning whether working with the United States is in their interests anymore.

The purpose of this amendment was to posthumously restore the rank and promote both Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short, the top Navy and Army Commanders at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
