Cracks Starting To Appear In The Michigan Lockdown

Quite a number of Sheriff Departments in our state are refusing to enforce the arbitrary and capricious lock down orders emanating from Governor Half-Whit and her Attorney General.

The latest to come out and state that they're a tad busy to enforce them and will get back to the governor later about enforcing her executive orders is Genesee County.

The Detroit News: Genesee County sheriff: 'Don't expect us' to enforce state pandemic orders

Sheriff Swanson isn't alone. Other Sheriffs have also indicated that they're a bit busy doing actual law enforcement to spare time to enforce the arbitrary executive orders of questionable legality, including the Shiawassee County where the Barber Karl Manke is located.

Speaking of the Barber v the Governor - while the case proceeds in court, the state has rather vindictively at the direction of AG Nesselsuspended his barber license, without a hearing for his violation of the executive orders in order to get around the court's refusal to grant an injunction on his operation of his barber shop.

Further cracks are opening with the Branch County drive in reopening for business even without the state's blessing - and they're doing it in a more than safe manner, but since Gov Half-Whit has not deigned to announce they can reopen, they're moving forward anyways in defiance of the orders that keep them shut for no valid reason.

Meanwhile, Michiganders can get haircuts and enjoy other "non-essential" services - but only if they're willing to leave the state and travel to Ohio.

While Gov Half-Whit keeps our state under lock and key and sliding toward economic ruin, only allowing those business she deems on her own as "essential" to function (while deliberately ignoring Federal recommendations), other states are opening for business and not acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner.

This lock down of hers isn't going to last much longer in the face of other states doing just fine without it, and her legion of frightened fans may stop supporting her as the economic pain continues while she blindly demands obedience to her arbitrary lock down order that continues to be more arbitrary and indefensible day by day.

The thing that bothers me, here in Muskegon, is that so many of my friends and relatives are willing to just go along with our Empress in charge and are angry with me for posting on FB that I refuse to follow unconstitutional rulings made by a tyrannical governor.
I have tried to explain about freedom and the constitution,but they like to instead shift it to how the governor has only our best interests at heart, and how could I dare to doubt her, blah, blah, blah.
I have explained to some of them that I see a civil war coming, and soon. They think I am an idiot, and crazy. They are blinded by the government handouts. The ones who will listen to me,are the ones who own small businesses that are in danger of losing it all.
I refuse to leave an America to my grandchildren that is less free than the one I was born into,without at least trying to stop it.
