🚨 "I MISS MY BOY... AND I WANT HIM BACK."

A grieving father says his son, Sean, died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine that he says was required for him to continue playing hockey.

He alleges his son was told the vaccine was safe, only to be found dead the morning after his first dose.

The father has since launched legal action against Pfizer for wrongful death and against the Canadian government, alleging fraud and deceit.

Whatever the outcome of those cases, his message is unmistakable:

"I miss my boy... and I want him back."

Watch the interview and hear his story for yourself.

@ellencarmichael I've seen a lot of people commenting that while the initial call was probably wrong, it happens and we in essence need to learn to just shut up and take it. Had we done that 250 years ago, we wouldn't exist. Look at the state of affairs in Europe and look here. We've already won.

[foreverfreepatriot85 @4everfreepat85]

@JayUnited91 @usmntonly So its cheating now just to have the best team possible playing another one of the supposed best teams in the world? To me cheating is skewing the game with a bad call resulting in a 10 against 11 match in which the team receiving the fraudulent penalty still kicked ass.

[Jim Hanson @JimHansonDC]

All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands.
🙋
That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA.

This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage.
Wrong angle to see what really happened.

Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering.

The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul.

The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection.

If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun.

The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned".

Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not.

The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball.

I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere.

I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history.

They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close.

So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.

[Paul Fleuret @RealAbs1776]

Let me explain the hill they are now standing on …

A black man was unjustly suspended from the biggest game of his life because of a red card that NEVER should have been given.

For the first time in history, FIFA actually did the right thing and reversed that suspension.

So now, all the lefties, commies, and America haters are mad that a black man actually received justice.

That’s where we’re at.

[Ellen Carmichael @ellencarmichael]

The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged.

Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait.

To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations.

In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted.

The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards.

Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure.

So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve.

Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less.

Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal.

Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.

[foreverfreepatriot85 @4everfreepat85]

@HITCSevens If the US wins Belgium will feel cheated? Why? Belgium needs our star player kicked out in order for them to be able to win? They're unable to stand on their own talent to do so?

"May the Declaration of Independence be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”

Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE! 

The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.

LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.

@TRHLofficial Yep. Some of us even have an extra finger..

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants.

Nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated.

But they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer,
picnics, and baseball games. True "reflection" is a part of this country's
greatness. Please be a participant.

@JamesHu27192912 The "vandals" are true American heros.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

Nearly 250 years ago, as America fought for its independence, victory depended on far more than muskets and cannons. It depended on intelligence.

The Culper Spy Ring built clandestine networks, recruited sources, ran dead drops, used ciphers and invisible ink, and provided General George Washington with the intelligence needed to stay one step ahead of the British. Their work was quiet, largely anonymous, and absolutely decisive.

As we approach Independence Day, it's worth remembering that one of America's greatest strategic advantages has always been badass citizens willing to do their part. The tradecraft has changed. The responsibility hasn't.

Protecting the homeland isn't just the job of the government, law enforcement, or the military. It's on all of us. Build trusted relationships before a crisis. Stay informed. Stay vigilant. Be prepared to step up and help your community when it matters most.

That's how freedom is preserved. 🇺🇸

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves…the fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on…this army.” George Washington to his troops on July 2, 1776

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

In 1783, the final remaining British troops left America in defeat.

As the last troops boarded their ships, they left one final insult behind: Greasing a flagpole with a Union Jack nailed to the top so the Americans could not raise their own colors.

John Van Arsdale, a young American, nailed wooden cleats up the pole and climbed up. He tore down the British flag and hoisted the Stars and Stripes.
