Defying Whitmer
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jan, 2020 | Bill Weckesser

Whitmer’s war against COVID has always been long on tyranny and short on facts.

There is a point at which typically reasonable, law abiding people come to realize that an unjust law is no law at all and decide to no longer comply.

For Amy Heikkinen and her brother Jake, restaurateurs in tiny Calumet, Michigan, that time has come. According to their Go Fund Me page, their coffee and pastry shop survived Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s first lockdown order, which Michigan’s Supreme Court struck down this past summer as executive overreach. In retaliation, Whitmer has essentially commandeered the administrative state, using Michigan’s Health Department to enforce her mid-November ban on indoor dining.

This time, however, Amy and Jake had reached their breaking point and have been ignoring the order. Incensed at the disobedience, Whitmer’s administrative brownshirts went to court for a restraining order. And, as the Detroit News reports, they won last week in Ingham County Circuit Court -- hundreds of miles south of Calumet.

The thing about these tyrants is that even if they lose in court, they will find a way to destroy those who oppose them.

I don’t know if Michigan can rebound from Whitmer. I fear Michigan is in for a century long recession this time.

If the people of Michigan can’t stop Obergruppenfuhrer Whitmer now, they will have a Venezuelan dictatorship forever

She is a psycho. I’d like to know what went on in her childhood that made her like she is.

I’m in Michigan right now on an illegal vacation. We are openly defying the Skank Whitmer as well as our RINOtrash Maryland Governor.

I don’t care.

It’s sickening how locked down this place is.

I went to a store yesterday. First I got a fisseration on safety and masks before I could shop.

In the next five minutes I was lectured on the proper way to wear a mask by two more 20 somethings.

I left and informed the junior epidemiologist at the door that they lost a customer.

The store was a branch of REI.

Sounds horrible. The 20ish age group are completely brainwashed. Glad you told them you won’t be coming back. That’s just outrageous.

Raise your right arm and repeat after me:

“Heil Whitmer!”

(that’s sarcasm, folks)

Obviously a majority of morons put Governor Crazy Eyes in office. Likely they'll do it again.
