Weatherman Fired After 33 Years on the Job for Refusing Vaccine, Goes Out with Legendary Final Words
The Western Journal ^ | September 20, 2021 | Jack Davis

Posted on 09/20/2021 11:45:50 AM PDT by Hostage

With a prediction for very stormy weather ahead for the nation he loves, meteorologist Karl Bohnak signed off last week after being fired for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Bohnak had served as the weatherman at Michigan’s WLUC-TV for 33 years, according to The Washington Post. Gray Television, WLUC’s parent company, instituted a vaccine-or-else policy that went into effect on Wednesday.

“I am sad, but, to borrow a quote from a famous ballplayer, ‘I’m the luckiest man on the face of the earth’ because I had a dream as a kid to be a weatherman.

“That dream came true and to top it off, I got to broadcast weather for one of the most challenging, beautiful spots in the United States. As an added bonus, the people I broadcast to all across Upper Michigan were so kind and encouraging,” he wrote.

But a cloud has fallen over the land of the free, he wrote.

I agree. The GOP-dopes, will throw their hands up and say something along the lines of it’s the executive branch doing this; better elect a GOP-dope next time. And maybe threaten to sue or something. Then there will be the usual traitorous GOP-dopes that vote with the pinkos.
We have sovereignty over our own bodies. Something tyrants cannot stand.

Why didn’t he just state that the jab is not FDA approved?

I’m also about to test the market for its unvaxxed tolerance.

If there’s an offer, if necessary, I’d hope they’d allow time for a religious exemption, but HR is always a tough nut to crack.

Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
Walk on your tiptoes
Don’t try “No-Doz”
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don’t need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin’ to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You’re gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin’ for a new fool
Don’t follow leaders
Watch the parkin’ meters

Subterranean Homesick Blues, Bob Dylan

...and we *do* need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I love this line:

Somebody needs to hire him-like Newsmax/Oann and start the morning national weather again.

He could do that from home these days and get a great following.

Karl is a really good guy. Used to run into him once in a great while and I would often say, “Thanks Karl, for reminding us that we are gonna get a ton of snow again.”
He would smile and say “Thats my job.”

Weatherman have the perfect gig. You can be completely wrong and still have your job. Mother nature has a will of her own and be damned the people who think they’ll be right in predicting it.
Good for him standing up for what is right. Now how many others would do the same? So far it seems the minority.

Or, in this case, you can be completely right and lose your job.

At least he won't be spreading dangerous ideas around the workplace!

If he took the vaccine and died from it his reporter friends would say: “Today our friend Karl died of covid. Please get the vaccine”.....

All of the vaccines you were given previously, weren’t this cobbled up, gene mutating, hogwash, that hasn’t been around for much over a year, hasn’t been thoroughly tested, and hasn’t been approved for anything but mass injection of unsuspecting sheeple.
I would be a little more investigative, before telling my dr. to “fill it up”.

.... And now that Populist voters refuse to be fooled by GOPe traitors any longer, you will never hear the Democrats and the lemmings of the Left saying an ill word about corporations ever again.

I believe this could be the forerunner for the “Mark” of the beast. If in todays world a person can lose their jobs or not get healthcare because they choose not to put some untested shot into their bodies, what will be next? The Mark!
