Michigan Legislators Push Orwellian Vaccination Laws
Restricting parental choice in the name of empowerment.

Michigan Legislation of Intimidation

Yet Michigan has launched a series of bills that would require all schools to release immunization status reports on students (HB 5344); all child care centers to release similar reports (HB 5346); a “childhood immunization registry” (HB 5346); all parents to sign a form on their child’s vaccination status (HB 5347); a statewide registry and forms for students seeking an exemption (HB 5348 and 5349); local health officer reports (HB 5350); vaccination recommendations by the Michigan state advisory committee in lieu of the CDC (HB 5351 and 5352); insurance companies must still cover state immunization recommendations even if CDC does not (HB 5353); and expands authority to issue “standing orders: for mass drug roll-outs (HB 5354).

This is a fearsome array of measures to “empower parents” by empowering the state. Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy and ACIP empowered parents to confer with the doctors they trust; this is a reactionary statist power grab of parental choice.

Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion holds that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This obtains in politics as in physics, through the vaccine wars – Kennedy’s common sense fuels radical Orwellian countermeasures that intrude between parents and their healthcare providers through strong arming.

I’m sure hoping that the Michigan voters “educate” their (supposed) representatives that parents, and only parents, should decide what is “best” for their children. IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) the best way to do that is too “unelect” them in the next election.   I really don’t care who their opponents are; this has to be punished.

It’s apparent that “democratic socialism” is a plague that infects “representatives” with God-like power grabs.

Argh!

HEALTH: If pigs and rats will not touch it and it can’t rot … … why should humans?

Monday, December 8, 2025

What pigs and rats taught me about human snack food

  • You are what you eat….

As an experiment, I left a rejected pink Snoball on the floor in one of the pigs’ stalls. I would shovel up their manure and bedding daily, but leave the half-round pink dainty to tempt them on the concrete floor. But they wouldn’t bite. (I recall one brave, presumably very hungry pig taking a nibble, no more.)

With all that grain, bread, hay, and sweets stockpiled, we attracted a small population of rats that I would sic my border collies on when we startled them on barn entry. The rats would creep into the pigs’ stalls to scavenge for their leftovers. But they wouldn’t touch that pink Snoball.

Nor would the flies. I left the thing out for weeks, and nothing would eat it. Over time, it remained preserved, as though it had been prehistorically sealed in amber, though it was in the open air. It wouldn’t rot – even the mold and bacteria eschewed the rubbery marshmallow lure.

*** end quote ***

I have a suggestion for RFKjr and the CDC / FDA (aka Big Pharma advocates).  Let’s create a new simple test for foods, additives, and chemicals.  I call it the “Pig, Rat, and Mold” test. 

(Remember the Big Mac that was untouched by age?)

A panel of pigs, rats, and molds will be introduced to a proposed food.  If they won’t eat it, or it unfortunately kills, them, then it’s stamped “Unfit For Consumption” and treated like an industrial poison.

No expensive study required.

If BigAg is convinced the pigs are wrong, then they can fund the studies to prove that. Laugh!  I can see the ads now: “9 out of 10 pigs agree, this is inedible.  Be unique and be a early adopter!”

Argh!

POLITICAL: Is it time to “refresh” the whole SCOTUS?

Wednesday, July 30, 2025

https://johnklar.substack.com/p/solidifying-president-trumps-judicial?publication_id=779141&post_id=168553287&isFreemail=true&r=3vwsqx&triedRedirect=true

Solidifying President Trump’s Judicial Legacy

  • The importance of being ideologically earnest.

John Klar
Jul 23, 2025

*** begin quote ***

It seemed that, when nominated, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was noted for her gender and skin color more than her intellectual prowess. Yet the Constitution registers no consideration of these attributes as necessary to fairly and impartially adjudicate the nation’s laws. Deviating from longstanding precedent, Jackson has a strong ideological bent toward activism. Ironically, her intersectionality includes womanhood and a feminist inclination, but she famously could not define what a woman is.

Several aspects of the modern American judicial system have steadily veered away from its traditional role of simply enforcing laws passed by Congress or issued by the executive in favor of insinuating deeply held political views into a system designed to be apolitical. It is no wonder that public confidence in the courts has declined. Rarely have SCOTUS decisions been as politically predictable as on the current Court, where the left-leaning allegiances of Justices Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan routinely place them in a dissenting face-off against the other six justices.

*** end quote ***

Seems like “We, The Sheeple” need a “codification” of SCOTUS.

I’d suggest:

(even though no one has ever or will ever ask how “King Ferd” [me] how I’d have set it up.  I’m sure the Dead Old White Guys would not believe how their SCOTUS has evolved.)

  • There should be a minimum age of 30 and a maximum age of 70;
  • The selection should be limited to sitting Federal Appeals Court and State Supreme Court  judges;
  • End lifetime appointments to SCOTUS and each judge should be appointed for 36 years;
  • Terms should expire at the first anniversary of each Presidential election; 
  • So, that each President will get to appoint at least one judge to SCOTUS;
  • Should a judge die in office, the sitting President should name a replacement for the balance of the deceased judge’s term;
  • SCOTUS should establish “ethics rules” for itself identical to any impose on lower Federal Court judges.

I’d like to see that done and run for a few decades, then evaluate how it turns out.

Sort of like planting a shade tree that you’ll never sit under.

HEALTH: Think about a visual of a “credit card per week”?

Friday, February 28, 2025

https://johnklar.substack.com/p/maha-vs-microplastics-to-ensure-the?publication_id=779141&post_id=156807700&isFreemail=true&r=3vwsqx&triedRedirect=true

MAHA vs Microplastics – To Ensure the First, Get Rid of the Second!

American children are being sickened by toxic partisan ideology.

John Klar

Feb 19, 2025

*** begin quote ***

If Americans are ever to be healthy again, an effective response to ubiquitous microplastics will be essential. Recent confirmation hearings of the MAHA maven Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. focused on his supposed vaccine and abortion positions while mainly ignoring his opening statement centered on American diets. Industrially-backed officials may thrust their ostrich heads in the political sands, but America’s babies and children are left exposed to toxic chemicals in the meantime – especially microplastics.

*** and ***

Studies increasingly demonstrate toxic threats to developing children’s bodies from microplastics and chemicals called phthalates (plasticizers) used in plastic containers and food service gloves. A recent study of human brains found an average equivalent of a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics per brain, an increase of 50% in eight years. A 2023 study estimated that humans are inhaling the equivalent of a credit card per week of microplastics.

*** end quote ***

The visual of a “credit card per week” made a traumatic impression upon me.  Don’t know why?  For me at the end of life’s journey, not much worries me. 

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), what about the little children?

That can’t be good for them.  Not sure how the average parent prevents that, but I’d sure like to know.

Argh!
