Remember When she Just Wanted to fix the Damn Roads?

Today’s headline: Shelter in place? Whitmer says it’s not under consideration

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is blunt when asked whether she’s considering a shelter-in-place order that might grind the rest of Michigan’s economy to a halt.

“I am not,” she said in an interview with The Detroit News. “I want to be very clear about that. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about that lately.”

Rest here

Sorry, but gov. nitWhitmer doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to speaking the truth.

###UPDATE###: If new California to stay-home order holds true to history, Michigan will soon follow and be ordered too.

###UPDATE 2###: The state of New York has joined California’s shutdown.

Enough already!

This was not the piece that I had originally intended to post this evening.

I was originally going to go into last week’s election as it related to the November General and some disturbing numbers.

Now, after getting blasted with e-mails and texts this afternoon from family and friends relating to Gov. Witless and her latest power grab, this is the question that begs to be asked: When will Michiganians say “enough is enough”?

Call Whitmer’s Office Now

The Governor overstepped, and it is not acceptable.

There is much more I could have said in this video, but this is clearly enough to take action on.

Call the Governor @ 517-373-3400, and let her know how happy you are with her destroying an entire industry of 600,000 workers in Michigan, and hurting all those who rely on the immense value provided by that industry.

Monday Divertere: You Are All Diseased

Menopausal schoolmarm nitWhitmer’s latest jackboot exercise of flexing government control closing all bars and restaurants in Michigan, makes this all the more funnier.

That was from 1999…. if George could only see how batshit crazy everyone has become over the Wuhan flu.

###UPDATE###: Welcome to 13% unemployment in Michigan.

The restaurant and hospitality industry employs more than 600,000 people in Michigan, he said. It’s possible that the state’s jobless rate will jump from about 3.8% in January to over 13% in a “blink of an eye,” Winslow said.

Gotta give Gov. nitWhitmer credit… it only took her one year in office to achieve double digit unemployed where it took Granholm two terms.

Welcome To Venezuela

Another trip to the grocery reveals how bad it is ..

OK, we aren’t drawn out quite as as bad as the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST S**thole of South America.

Price controls don’t work, and people who are prone to freak out about Trump tweets, or surprises on their favorite reality shows are hardly prepared for any potential disruptions to their otherwise ‘normal’ lives. Empty shelves on a few items really isn’t that bad however.

A quick tour through Meijer today revealed what really matters to the panicked herd ..at least in THIS neck of the woods.  Empty, to near-empty shelves might only be so in a temporary way (unlike any ‘socialist’ country), in this part of the world, but we can at least note what people worry most about being without.

Starting off, the Vitamin aisle was fairly well decimated, with nearly all the chewables gone, and in particular those yummy gummies!  Healthy treats for sure, and even testing is always on the mind of today’s crisis families. Nearby, the absence of any temperature measurement device from the shelves comes as no surprise as seen in the picture to the right.

Hand pump soap shelves were barren in spots, but some stock still remained.  Listerine and other mouthwashes also down in stock.
