All I’ve got to say is, “WOW! What a difference 48-hours makes.”
Rather than waste my time focusing on a bunch of community agitators this weekend, I spent most of it focusing on the NASA feeds watching the SpaceX Launch yesterday.
Little did I realize how quickly an arrest over someone using fake ID (and apparently his unwillingness to follow basic commands) quickly spiraled into a series of riots which not only burned a large chunks of Minneapolis to the ground, but spread to a number of other cities across America, including several here in Michigan, resulting in at least one death (so far) and an as-yet to be determined dollar amount of property damage.
Which begs a rather obvious question regarding perceptions and politics?
{And exactly what they might be you may ask yourself? You know the drill.}
This came in my e-mail tonight. I thought that it would bring a smile to everyone’s faces.
According to 100percentfedup.com, Mr. Governor wanted to take full advantage of Memorial Day, and take his powerboat out on Birch Lake.
Does he even sleep in the same house with Gov. Witless?
I guess not, because despite the constant reminders of her “orders” on what passes for “objective” local TV stations literally just this afternoon about not going anywhere, Mr. Governor called ahead to see if he could have his boat in the water and everything ready at the cabin by tomorrow.
Yep, that looks like their ride.
Since everything isn’t anywhere near back to running at 100%, the company he called, politely told him that would not be feasible in his time-frame. Not giving up, he wanted to impress them by whom he is married to.
Join us for our first “Michigander’s Marketplace – SUNDAY FUNDAY” event! 5.31.20 @ 1 PM.
The Governor may want to illegally cancel summer, or maybe she’ll surprise us all and actually let the ‘Stay At Home’ Order expire on May 28th. Either way, please join us for a day of fun in the sun!
Have something to sell or a service to offer? Bring a table and do your thing!
This event is open to all small business owners… but, if you know a dog groomer, massage therapist, salon services, or stylist that may be interested, please let us know! Those are the top requested services as of now.
IMPORTANT WEATHER STATEMENT: please sign up for our e-mail list if you haven’t already. In the event that the weather is not looking great, we will be rescheduling this event via an e-mail blast.
Prior to today’s Judgement Day Rally put on by Michigan United for Liberty, Gov. Witless, AG Karen and the media dutifully marched in lockstep belittling us and misrepresenting the true purpose behind the protest.
“This is old news, KG, tell me something I don’t know,” you may be asking yourself.
All true, except for the fact that AG Karen just got caught overplaying her hand.
“On Thursday, May 14 we will be gathering again at The Capitol!
The legislators continue to play scheduling games with us, so we will be there whether they are or not, in large numbers. We will gather to raise awareness of the many hypocrisies of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and to give a voice to the voiceless.
We The People are done with the unfair coverage by the media, claiming we are racist right-wing extremists. We The People come from diverse backgrounds and political affiliations. We know our rights, and we stand for liberty.
Stay tuned for more details and the official speakers list!”
*** Quick side note, since nothing else is working, the other side is now trying to spin this thing into a racial issue.
Another day, another “objective” reporter carrying the water for Gov. Witless and her unconstitutional actions.
I cannot speak for other parts of Michigan (yet), but with the notable exception of Charlie Langton, what passes for news reporting in Southeastern Michigan has long since morphed into a non-comical farce of itself.
Yesterday saw yet another protest against Michigan Government attempting to lockup everyone in order to “keep us safe”. To their credit, Channel 7 sent a crew out to cover it.
Did they start the report on why people were there? The effect that the governess’ illegal actions were having on their physical well-being or financial status? How a governor can claim authority that expired at the beginning of this month?
Nope, within the first few seconds we got this instead:
“Many without masks, not social distancing, holding Trump posters and homemade signs say its personal freedoms they’re fighting for.”
No word yet on when she’ll investigate the assault against three individuals with media credentials who were doing nothing more than sitting in the House Gallery. I’m absolutely certain that is high on her “To-do” list, and she just forgotten to alert the press.
Adding fuel to the dumpster fire that is Gov. Witless’ “leadership” during the Wuhan situation, we have businesses who have taken it upon themselves to not ask for permission from her to re-open…they are simply doing it themselves.
Oh no, we cannot have that!
Not to fear, LEO’s will step in and set those ne’er-do-wells straight.
Wait, what?
“Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy isn’t convinced Whitmer’s order is legal and said he won’t enforce the order. It doesn’t matter to Gray because he said he’d stay open even if he gets fined.”
No, no,no,no,no,no!
This won’t do!
And what does “republican” Brian Calley (now Michigan Small Business Administration President), have to say about all of this?
Multiple media outlets and the Michigan Republican Party have reported that a lawsuit has been filed in the Michigan Court challenging Gov. Witless’ authority to crank out an endless litany of Executive Orders relating to the Wuhan virus.
They have asked for an expedited ruling in this matter.
Two quick points:
First, it was filed in the Michigan Court of Claims. Their track record in this area, Judge Murray’s legal rationale especially, is questionable at best and laughable at worst. Martinko, et al vs. Whitmer is a perfect example of my skepticism.
I DO NOT see them ruling favorably in this case. It will most likely be going to the Michigan Supreme Court.
Second, this is only going to address PA 302 of 1945, it does not address anything else.
We already have an AG shooting off “opinions” on the legality of a rogue governor’s actions. While it is doubtful that they will be upheld, AG Nessel’s actions do throw a monkey wrench into the works of bringing Michigan back.
FYI, I’m speaking to a few people regarding a second front to dealing with PA 302…more to follow.
Another “lost decade” is not out of the realm of possibility if the governor’s actions are not remedied in time.
After getting hit with a ton of texts in the last hour, and a few nasty e-mails to boot, I’m going to need to walk back something I wrote earlier about yesterday.
At first, I didn’t even trust my friends on this because even I thought that that was too “over-the-top” to be true.
