Barber Karl Manke, 77, became a star after he opened his shop in Owosso, MI, on May 4, despite Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's shutdown orders. He faced a "90-day misdemeanor and/or a $500 fine." The state requested "a temporary restraining order" because officials considered him "an immediate threat to the public." So state regulators stripped Manke's license.

Rebellion was bound to happen in Michigan. The governor there is issuing decrees that make no sense and appear to attempt to take from the people all control of their lives. This is a losing strategy in America, with our long tradition of freedom and liberty, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer is likely watching her chance to be Joe Biden's VP disappear as her diktats have enraged the population of her state.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, that woman in Michigan, faces a massive protest after she extended orders in the state due to the Wuhan coronavirus. This includes banning the sale of non-essential items, including garden seeds in stores, and residence-to-residence travel for residents of the state. A man also drew up a recall petition on Change.org, which has received over 200,000 signatures.

Six states will vote in primaries on Tuesday, but people have concentrated on Michigan. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) barely beat failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the state in 2016. Then President Donald Trump beat her in Michigan in the presidential election. It looks like Sanders may lose Michigan on Tuesday since former Vice President Joe Biden holds a 24 point lead.
