Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has become a household name due to her strict lockdown rules during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. She urged people to stay away from northern Michigan if they do not reside in the area. However, the owner of a docking company revealed that Whitmer's husband Marc Mallory asked them to put out their family boat in the water before Memorial Day weekend...in northern Michigan. Oh, Mallory also tried to use his wife's position as governor to receive special treatment.

Earlier today I blogged that the Illinois State Police would not take a reasonable approach to that state's tyrannical governor. Looks like Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has the Michigan State Police on a short leash because they swarmed the protest Operation Haircut and issued three citations for disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct for giving a haircut. Outside. On a nice day.

Now that so many people are working from home under quarantine, holding virtual meetings on the internet has become the norm. One professor at Michigan State University wants people to be careful to avoid 'unconscious bias' during such events. This is an example of how progressive culture finds its way into our lives, no matter what is happening.

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.

Today's update features lockdown protests in my home state of California. I have come to the conclusion that the reason a "quarantine" is 40 days long is that is the duration people are willing to be isolated. Many states' governors, recognizing the success of Sweden's approach and evaluating the status of coronavirus infections in their states, are slowly reopening.

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.
