Chicago Judge Steals Christmas From A Little Girl!


Chicago, IL—This is one of those stories you just can’t make up. Cook County Circuit Court Judge Edward Jordan has ordered Christmas taken away from a three year-old girl!

Despite our Constitution’s First Amendment Judge Jordan has stepped into a religious dispute between parents and ordered the Catholic father not to expose the child to any non-Jewish religious activities.

The child’s mother Rebecca Reyes an apparent devout Jew, petitioned for and won the restraining order From Judge Jordan. That order in effect steals Christmas from her daughter.

The dispute between Rebecca and Joseph Reyes is not really a trivial issue. Both parents are divided on their daughter’s religious education. Who should mediate this case? No American court has jurisdiction over religion. Is there an acceptable compromise when both the Jewish and Catholic religions claim their supremacy?

Judge Jordan is playing the Part of Dr. Suess’ Grinch and the little Reyes girl is none other than Cindy Lou Who from Whoville in this sad but true story where life imitates art.

Amazingly WBBM-TV’s Mike Puccinelli did this story and deliberately declined to identify the judge that restrained Christmas with an official court edict. To say that redaction was lame is an understatement. Since when does any journalist protect a public official from their undisputed actions under color of law?

I called Puccinelli who told me that editorial decision came from station management.

Judge Jordan is a former President of the Decalogue Society, which is the Jewish Bar Association in Chicago. Perhaps Jordan’s own faith may have influenced his decision that has now established Jewish religious superiority within Cook County, Illinois.

Joel Brodsky, himself a Jew and his law partner, Reem Odeah, a Palestinian-American lawyer represent the Catholic father, Joseph Reyes. He declined to discuss Judge Jordan or his motives. Brodsky wasted no time he has already filed an appeal of Judge Jordan’s order.


Brodsky and Odeh

I doubt that the appeal will be heard before Christmas in this seemingly landmark case and that’s too bad. I’m taking sides on this case and that is the side of our Constitution and its promise not to establish religion.

Here is a link to Mike Puccinelli’s story on WBBM-TV.

What's the big deal? The little girl is losing Christmas and gaining Hannukah! a 7 day net gain over Christmas! You go girl! Dreidl Dreidl Dreidl I made it out of clay!...(Hey Pauly the Palestinian Lawyer is cute!!!how about some naked pics of her??)

Interesting decision Paul. There is a way around that court order, and it’s quit simple. Scripture states that Jesus is the “King of Jews.” Yes Jesus the “great Rabi” is Jewish.

Therefore Joseph Reyes should celebrate the birth of the King of Jews (Jesus.) That way the little girl gets the best of two worlds. I am a protestant, but Christmas is also a Jewish celebration for me.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah and shalom to the little girl

More like a tug of war and pretext - between two parents. Many Jews celebrate Christmas - why not - its fun to celebrate everything - have your cake and eat it too and have a Christmas Tree -

but some are even opposed to that. See

Why is it that some people can find conflict anywhere, so just read between the lines?

This strikes me as very prejudice. The unrelenting war against Christmas continues.

Merry Christmas Paul!

The Constitution clearly states that the Government shall NOT establish any single religion, NOR restrict practice of any religion.
Over the years, we have ALLOWED individuals to DEFINE Separation of Church and State to mean NO RELIGION...which is totally WRONG.
Election Day 2010---the day the PEOPLE take back OUR GOVERNMENT. VOTE OUT ALL ENCUMBANTS (BOTH Parties)...get rid of the Career Politicians who have stolen OUR RIGHTS...

The judge is an asshat, pure and simple. A major tool who is doing a favor for one of his "people" in hopes that maybe he gets a little shtupping action out of it.

Joseph’s wife is Rebecca Reyes (Shapiro), and her father is Howard Shapiro, who is an Executive Vice President and General Counsel for Playboy. That’s right, the man who doesn’t want his granddaughter exposed to Christianity, makes his money from pornography!! (Does the word hypocrite come to mind?)

Strange that a catholic and jew would marry, unless they never got down to discussing the real differences between the two- which no one does.
As I've read the early Christians were all jews, galileans to be exact (arid northern region, only 100 years since conversion to Judaism.?).
But Joshua/yashua/jesus was not originally Galilean. He is said to be of the house of David, descended from Solomon. Kind of a Luke Skywalker story - humble fisherman, actually of royal parentage.
I believe those of the H.O.D. are the only ones who can be kings of Israel. Others only rule, they are not kings (correct me if I'm wrong.)
The early Christians turned away from the covenant. They were turned off by the Pharasaic way of the Hebrew/Iudean nation. Nero called the christians *uncircumsized galileans* according to Gibbons, so they were revolting against some key things about the law.
And about Iesus, Rex Iudea (the mocking sign above him on the cross) he was indeed legitimate to the throne.
Christianity's position is the Jews, led by the pharisees, killed their own king (utter horror). I think a lot is lost in the translation (syncretism) of christianity on polytheism. Reminds me of an engine swap.

I get this amazing feeling that the second temple period saw something happen. Something big.
Not all jews are pharisees. I'm a long time atheist, but I find myself attracted to the jewish sabbath - going offline friday evening, and staying off til next evening. It would teach one to live without all the distraction of gizmos and whatever. I can totally see positivity growing in a house which observes this.
Its a good law this Hebrew thing. You just gotta watch out for those pharisees.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
