ICYMI: Illinois is the first state in the country to mandate public schools offer mental screenings. Next school year, they’ll be required to be offered to grades 3-12 so long as the state has a free tool. What’s the end goal? Our position is that it’s to engage follow up services via BEACON/Google Cloud when you consent to your child having a state controlled file. The cloud uses human centered AI. And you were worried about chromebooks? Imagine 6 state agencies having control over your child’s mental health screening data. Our model policy maintains opt in ONLY policy. awakeIL.com

It's happening @LurieChildrens. Know your rights, parents.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 American Medical Doctor in Chicago is blowing the whistle on a new practice that’s taking place It’s called “close your eyes and immunize.” He says it’s becoming very common to vaccinate children when they go under anesthesia WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT often times because the parents are signing to do what’s best for the child under anesthesia, but doctors are now including vaccinations as necessary Again, you take your child in for a surgery, sign the paper saying to do what’s best for your child, the hospitals are now using that consent to vaccinate your kids without your knowledge. Including with the COVID vaccine “I'm a family doctor who practices in the suburbs and the city of Chicago. I wanted to offer some practical advice tonight to those of you who, like me, might be angry and very concerned about the news reports detailing the rise of what one hospital is calling, close your eyes, we'll immunize. This is a growing practice, perhaps pioneered at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, but something that's been around longer than the powers that be would like us to know, where children are undergoing elective and emergency medical surgeries and being immunized while they're away from their parents in the operating room” “Parents have often given consent unknowingly or under duress for these vaccinations to be performed. And one of the things that's clear from the reports is that informed consent, which should be one of the hallmarks of medical ethics and practice today, is rarely being provided to the extent that it should be” “Flu shot seems to be the most popular thing to administer, but RSV, COVID, and some other things are now being administered without the parents knowing while their child is in the hospital. So imagine you take your child to the hospital because they have terrible belly pain. Turns out they have appendicitis and any of appendix taken out. You sign a form saying that the surgeon and the medical team can do whatever they think is necessary to help your child. You didn't know your child's getting a flu shot 15 minutes later before the first incision is made” Okay this is CRIMINAL in my opinion so I did my own research and found out what states this is happening in, Pennsylvania at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia . Official “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize” program running since 2023. It gave 2,054 influenza vaccine doses in the 2025–2026 season to children already under sedation anesthesia Colorado at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Offers influenza vaccine under general anesthesia to eligible patients since 2020. More than 18,000 patients have received it. Additional vaccines are sometimes given at the request of a primary care clinician Illinois at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and its ambulatory surgery centers. Offers flu shots under anesthesia for eligible patients age 6 months and older during scheduled surgeries and procedures California at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center in Northern California. First KP facility in the region to offer flu shots to pediatric surgical patients ages 6 months–18 while under anesthesia for planned procedures

The DOJ has entered the chat.
BREAKING: The US Department of Justice is reviewing the forceful ejection of fans wearing XX-XY t-shirts at Friday's Portland Thorns game. "The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act." A DOJ spokesperson also told me, "Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it."

If you work a full time job, you should have enough money to put food on the table, to see your doctor when you're sick, and to save for retirement. We can and we ought to make that happen.

No rational person would respect Moisette’s concept of “emotional intelligence” given she was arrested for vandalism and criminal defacement. 🤣
Fancy this: The Chicago Tribune just published a letter from Moisette McNerney of Arlington Heights—the same woman who pleaded guilty to spray-painting swastikas and profanities on the local Republican office, then topping it off with feces and an unknown liquid. She got court supervision and an order to write an apology. Instead she got a byline in the Tribune, where she’s now scolding the paper for bad judgment.

Hey @GovPritzker, remember in 2022 when you said if we parents won our mask lawsuit that schools and businesses would close? Lies, lies, and lies. So glad I sued you. When we won, your hand was forced. Epic fail by you. Among many.
Everything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is lies, lies, and more lies.

We’d bet money these kids aren’t homeschooled or attending Christian K-12 schools. Just a wild guess though.
Look at these absolute leftist lunatics outside a Turning Point USA event at Illinois State University, screaming “SHAME,” flipping people off, and holding a sign that says “NAZIS FUCK OFF.” THIS is the Democratic Party. A bunch of green-haired terrorists and absolute psychopaths.

One of the more disturbing components of @DataRepublican's "Democracy Files" is the involvement of Illinois governor JB Pritzker. I wrote the below article to hone in on that particular topic. It's only ~400 words, but I nevertheless did it as an article so I could include supporting hyperlinks. (Some of the links are to some of DR's posts that include a video--you need to listen to the video in the post to understand the supporting documentation.) Please read if so inclined. Our nation is at great risk.

Weitzel: “He served in the military, including 2 tours in Iraq, & was shot & killed in the streets of Philadelphia—American cities are more violent than Iraq, & we still have the DSA, who want to dismantle policing. NEVER!” @FoxNews @CWBChicago @Awake_IL @wlsam890 @chriskrokshow
Thousands of police officers from across the country gathered in Philadelphia to honor Shane Seiber, a 40-year-old officer killed in the line of duty. Seiber was fatally shot on October 10 while responding to a report of an armed man in West Philadelphia. His partner was also shot 12 times but survived. During Tuesday's funeral, Seiber was posthumously promoted to sergeant, recognizing his 10 years with the Philadelphia Police Department and his military service, including two tours in Iraq. The father of two leaves behind his wife, Lisa, and their young children, Finn and Emily.

“They’re clapping for their demise.” Wow. Black Chicago is not playing.
Dear kids and young adults getting out here and about to learn what life is all about… The “vote blue no matter who” Negro is a dangerous Negro. A Negro who refuses to do any research and acknowledge that we are living in different times. The “vote blue no matter who” Negro usually belongs to a megachurch run by corrupt clergy who receive millions of dollars in public funding, while the surrounding communities still look like war zones. They will bring a no-good Black politician like Brandon Johnson into the pulpit and let him make claims about all the investments he supposedly made on the South Side and West Side, with no proof. $2.5 BILLION on the South Side in the last three years! $2 BILLION on the West Side in the last three years! Crime isn’t down. The so-called affordable housing is pushing us out because the rental rates don’t add up for the average person living in those communities. The federal poverty guideline for a single person in 2026 is $15,960 in the contiguous United States. He’s championing affordable housing, but where is the affordability? You see how that man couldn’t even help the 70-year-old lady Tia Ewing interviewed? He’s a Black political puppet who is useless to the people he’s supposed to represent. But because the “vote blue no matter who” Negro is politically ignorant and refuses to acknowledge that this isn’t the Democratic Party it once was, they continue supporting it. In my opinion, it has turned into a party increasingly influenced by foreign interests, LGBTQ activism, anti-American and anti-God rhetoric, and communist and socialist ideologies. You do things like chant “FOUR MORE YEARS” for Brandon Johnson, while a former GD turned reverend keeps screaming, “YOU BETTER SAY IT!” when Brandon isn’t saying anything of substance. It’s one of the saddest things I’ve witnessed over the last four years. To the Chicagoans with common sense, please understand this: I don’t believe Brandon Johnson or anyone affiliated with his political agenda can be trusted. We risk losing our city to greed, outside political interests, and politicians who put their own agendas ahead of the people if we put him back in office. YOUNG PEOPLE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE JUST BECAUSE OF PARTY LOYALTY! Welcome to Budget season 4 Building better together to get Brandon Johnson Out of office

Who holds bad judges accountable?
I asked Chief Judge Beach in September to reassign Judge John Lyke; he replied that he lacks that authority. He does not — and his statement is false—more soon at @Awake_IL ‘Chief Weitzel’s Dispatch’. @CWBChicago @ChicagoContrar1 @notguiltyCHI @ramblin_ray @AVPMikeFerguson ⬇️

“Pritzker can be called moderate relative to the farthest left of his party. Relative to the cost of living, the pension trajectory, the population loss, and the priorities Illinois families actually name, the label does not hold. The Tribune’s framing treats the organized public-sector interest and abortion as the main story. For a lot of us who have watched the property tax bill climb year after year while loved ones leave, the main story is the tax burden and the slow drain of people who have decided they cannot afford to stay. Those are not the same electorate.” -@Shannon_A_IL via @illinoisreview illinoisreview.com/illinoisr…
