Michigan Governor Strengthens Hold on State, Extends Stay at Home Order to May 15
Once again we see how crises brings out the little Democrat tyrants.
Spoken like a true, brutish totalitarian.
"I'm not going to sign any bill that takes authority away from me,” she gasps.

Michigan Gov. Whitmer faces protest outside her home as lawmakers mull curbing her powers
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News April 24, 2020:
Former Nevada attorney general says Gov. Whitmer broke the law
Protesters gathered outside the home of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday — the same day reports emerged that she plans to extend the state’s coronavirus stay-at-home order by two weeks until May 15.
The demonstration, dubbed “Operation Queen’s Castle,” featured an image of Whitmer wearing a crown, FOX 2 of Detroit reported.
“We wanted to send Gretchen Whitmer a message, we didn’t want to surrender our liberties just for a little temporary safety,” Brian Pannebecker, who helped organize the protest, told the station.

Meanwhile, the Michigan Legislature has scheduled a special session for Friday with the goal of creating an oversight committee to review Whitmer’s coronavirus orders and possibly strip her of some of her powers, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Critics have accused Whitmer, a 48-year-old first-term Democratic governor, of overstepping her authority with a series of measures intended to stem the spread of coronavirus in the state. April 9 revisions to her initial stay-at-home order included bans on visiting friends and relatives or traveling to vacation homes, and halts on sales of items such as furniture and gardening supplies.
In a podcast interview, she also said abortions should continue in the state during the virus outbreak because the procedures were part of “life-sustaining” health care for women.
In addition, Whitmer came under fire after a no-bid coronavirus-related state contract was awarded to a firm operated by a well-known Democratic consultant who had written that President Trump should “get coronavirus ASAP.” Whitmer’s office later acknowleged that the contract was awarded without adhering to normal protocols.
Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, explained the point of Friday’s planned session in a Twitter message.
“The House & Senate will convene tomorrow to create a special oversight committee on COVID-19 to examine our government’s response,” he wrote. “Michigan needs to handle this pandemic seriously yet properly. It’s what the people deserve, and we will see that it happens.”

In another tweet, Chatfield noted that marijuana, lottery tickets and alcohol had been declared “essential,” while lawn care, construction and fishing in a motorized boat had been declared nonessential amid the outbreak.
On Monday, Whitmer said she would take a 10 percent cut to her $159,300 annual salary and her staffers would take cuts of 5 percent as the state grapples with the financial fallout of the coronavirus shutdowns. She also continued defending the orders she has issued.
“I know it’s not easy, but the price of losing loved ones is what’s at stake,” she said, noting that many people who contract the virus show no symptoms but can still spread it.
The theme of Thursday’s protest in Lansing, the state’s capital city, was that many Michiganders who are able to work should be able to do so, Pannebecker said.
“Younger people, healthy people, without putting anybody else in danger, including ourselves, and others in danger, should be able to go back to work,” Pannebecker told FOX 2.
The demonstration came eight days after a larger gathering outside the Statehouse called “Operation Gridlock.”
As of late Thursday, Michigan had more than 35,200 confirmed cases of the virus and nearly 3,000 deaths, the Detroit News reported.

You got that right.
But I think she became Gov mainly because that way she gets all her trans surgery done at taxpayers’ expense. As we can see she’s got a long way to go.

I was so happy today to see my Michigan brother and sisters exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights at her taxpayer funded Mansion. wHitler is just asking for it. She’s just too deaf and dumb to have any grasp of reality.

How’s the RECALL doing? Lawmakers should stop “mulling it over” and remove that power until hopefully she can be recalled. She is dictating her LIBERAL agenda. She needs to go!

She is only as scary as the POWER she uses over you or anyone and she will continue using that power until the very people who gave her that power, takes that power away from her. UNDERSTAND? I THINK YOU DO.
A GOOD EXAMPLE IS AN ABUSIVE SPOUSE. They will continue their abuse UNTIL the other spouse puts an end to it, first legally, then by force.

To the good folks of Michigan: You have the tool in the palm of your hand to get rid of the Wicked-Power Crazy Witch. It’s called…RECALL.
Otherwise, to get rid of her you’re going to have to wait for the next election. And, by then, the Lame stream media will have whitewashed everything she did.
If you don’t recall her…it’s going to be hard for any of us to feel sympathy for Michigan.
You got a rotten apple in this #itch…..throw it out.

TYRANTS NEVER SEE THEIR OWN LUST FOR POWER AS HARMFUL. They believe they are smarter than the rest of us because THEY alone rule over the citizens. They most often FORGET who put them in power in the 1st place.
History teaches us that you can only oppress a people for so long before their oppressors get a response. Our forefathers, are a prime example of just that, There will always be a small number of those who will obey the Lord and resist the tyrants (Romans 12:21)……..
If you want to remain free then you are going to have to fight for your freedoms (1 Timothy 6:12)…………………..Bradlee Dean

Curtailing ‘some’ of her “power”???
Really – she has breached her SWORN OATH under the Constitution and she breached her SWORN OATH “TO” the people of the State of Michigan ….. SHE MUST BE REMOVED… from the Office she sullied and from the State of Michigan …. BAN HER FOR LIFE FROM THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.

Sorry Gov. Whitmer, but your own Michigan Legislature/Attorney General CAN and SHOULD curb your runaway powers. THE U.S.CONSTITUTION IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN AMERICA JUST UNDER GOD HIMSELF. YOU ARE JUST A SMALL DUST IN THE WIND TO BOTH.
What is with these TYRANTS and their LUST FOR POWER AND CONTROL?
Don’t they understand that when We, the People have had enough, WE WILL REBEL AND THERE WILL BE BLOOD IN THE STREETS? I pray not, but it always happens. SHE SHOULD READ WORLD HISTORY, SPECIFICALLY WHAT HAPPENS TO TYRANTS LIKE HERSELF.
Whoever is advising this Governor may need to be fired.

Satan is at War against God and Mankind
A war started in heaven and now the people of the earth are included in the war. How could Satan think he could win against God? What strategy might he be using?
Satan has attacked God and His government. In getting Eve to sin, Satan specifically got Eve to distrust God. She was led to believe that God was holding back what should have been hers. As we will see, Satan must have used the same kind of attack against the angels in heaven. We will be looking at what the Bible says about Satan’s war against God and Mankind.
It appears that Satan is waging a legal war. We must wonder how Satan could figure that he might win a war against God, the Creator of all things?
God is all powerful while Satan and His evil angels are only created beings. So why did Satan attack God? They do not have the power of God and they tremble at the thought of God:
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19.
God is the true God, the creator of all things. So how could Satan and his evil angels think they could attack God and win? Especially when even thinking about God, they tremble!

Whitmer demonstrates an ideological fervor illustrating the inherent difficulties encountered by all libtards, i.e., the inability to make discriminating decisions. It is well known and accepted by the preponderance of scientific pundits and evidence the fatality rate is nearly inconsequential among the healthy and the young but greatly disproportionate among the ill and the elderly. This initial wave of the CCP Virus is beat handled by encouraging the latter to isolate, supporting their isolation, and allowing the young and the healthy to return to their occupations while a the same time practicing healthy hygiene. Only a libtard would demand an equal outcome for all people, an outcome that both rejects Christian principal but Darwinism as well. Witmer is a true libtard.

According to China analyst Gordon Chang, the communist leaders of China decided that China was not going to suffer the massive economic damage of COVID-19 alone, and as such moved to “level the playing field” with the rest of the world by: 1) lying about the nature of the human-to-human contagiousness, and 2) continuing to send as many as five million by air travel from the epicenter of the outbreak to the rest of the world, including Italy and the United States.
Just as the Michigan Governor and communist kindred spirit Gretchen Whitmer has acted to “level the playing field” between Detroit, the state’s only “hot spot,” and the rest of Michigan, much of it hundreds of miles away and unlike the urban outbreak in every conceivable way, apparently to save face for Detroit or just simply out of Leftist spite.
Please recall that viscously hateful tweet you may have seen from some Leftist media low-life reveling in the devastation of a Third World infection and calamity that has come to our country: “Who’s the sh*t hole now?”
That’s the attitude of the communist whore Gretchen Whitmore” “Who’s the sh*t hole now?”

Witless Whitmer is becoming more maniacal in her graphic imitation of Joseph Stalin. She is fully intent on destroying Michigan’s economy and blaming the consequences of HER actions on Trump. She is desperately trying to keep Trump from winning Michigan in 2020. She doesn’t care how many small businesses or people have to die in order to satisfy her goals.
