    I actually witnessed a guy set his car on fire trying to burn off some gas that had spilled on the carpet.

    It is ridiculous for a governor to decide what is essential to anyone. They closed up the fabric section here at the Wal Mart by my house as well as covered jewelry. I asked the gal who was cutting fabric up in yard or yard and a half pieces for those who were making face masks. I want to choose my own fabric to sew. I told her that makes a lot of sense since I can walk through the store and touch what ever I want to. There are many who garden and love it, it is calming and so much more. It is getting overboard in what those in the state political seats are deciding for all who live in the state and no, I did not vote for the guy who is governor here and would never vote for him or his party choice. I get the be careful and safe let alone now the 3 West Coast governor's are joining together to make decisions as to when they will allow businesses to start up and etc. Just what we do not need is the 3 left governors joining together.

    That is one of the major changes in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's "stay home" order, issued Thursday, which also extends the expiration of the order to May 1...

    "All public and private gatherings of any size are prohibited," Whitmer said at a news conference. "People can still leave the house for outdoor activities," and outdoor "recreational activities are still permitted as long as they're taking place outside of six feet from anyone else...

    However, Carson is angry over the closure of nurseries and garden centers. She said it is time for her to plant her peas, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots — food that she and her family will eat all winter. She can't plant if those outlets are closed, she said.

    "These businesses are essential — to us," Carson said...

    Brown did not respond to a question about how some aspects of the travel restrictions will be enforced. Violating the order can bring a civil fine of up to $1,000...

    What she needs to do is tighten the screws down in the cities. They are still running amok from what I have been hearing. Not so much up here in the rural areas. Lansing, Detroit, Grand Rapids are all producing the highest numbers of the virus, and yet folks are running around like nothing has happened.

    It was actually his older sisters BRAND NEW Opal. He was afraid she'd be mad about the smell of gas in her car.

    Happened in the 70's. I was about 2 feet away when he did it. LOL now.

    Tucker: What's behind massive government overreach in Michigan

    ...Last week, Whitmer banned all gatherings anywhere, for any reason of any size, including in people's private homes, as if she is allowed to do that.

    If Michigan residents own more than one home, Whitmer has banned them from traveling between them, and outside Detroit, it is very common, especially for working-class people, to have a cabin up north. You're not allowed to go there.

    And then she kept going. Not only did Gov. Whitmer close most stores in the state, she banned the few that remained open from selling items that she deemed unnecessary...

    ...Now, Sweden has a slightly larger population than the state of Michigan and just like Michigan, it's a mix of larger cities and smaller towns. Sweden has never, unlike Gov. Whitmer and so many American states, adopted the Chinese model, the authoritarian model, in order to contain coronavirus. Yet, so far Sweden has fewer cases of coronavirus and fewer deaths than the state of Michigan does.

    Does the governor of Michigan know this? Does she care? No. That suggests it's about science, but it's not. And you know that by now. It's about power.

    Gov. Whitmer wants to be the vice president. She wants to be chosen by Joe Biden. That's pretty clear, and she has calculated there is no penalty for petty authoritarianism. In fact, petty authoritarianism might make even mediocre politicians look strong and decisive. That's her bet. She's willing to destroy the people in her state in exchange...

    I don't think it's a good idea to use Sweden as a model country for handling the virus. They are twice as large as Norway and the death count today was 114 in Sweden, 5 in Norway. The difference ? Restrictions.
