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.
So, by now, everyone should’ve had an opportunity to watch what passes for objective news coverage from yesterday’s rally in Lansing.
Allow me to go over what did happen, what didn’t happen, and what others would like for you to believe happened.
I even have some interesting images from the Michigan Senate Floor that didn’t quite make the “official record”.
The 1945 PA 302 does not grant unilateral power grab authority. PA 390 Provided a check on her (or any governor’s) ability to extend such authority and subordinates PA302 with the addition of extension rules.
No one should adhere to her tyrannical decrees beginning May 1, unless Michigan’s legislature makes the mistake of extending her Emergency Declaration. Be strong and hold the line Michigan.
