What is it about low gas prices that Democrats don’t like? On his first day in office Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline and gas prices went up. A (likely Russian) group calling itself DarkSide hacked the Colonial pipeline, responsible for bringing 45% of fuel for the east coast, last week and prices went up. Now Michigan’s Dem. Governor Whitmer, (Hitmer to many), brilliantly threatened to close down a Canadian pipeline, owned by the Enbridge company, that runs through Michigan’s Straits of Mackinac, (pronounced Mack-in-awe). Just in time for summer. The first summer we’ve had in two years.
This seems an exceptionally stupid move from a governor everyone already hates, (remember when 6 men were arrested for planning to kidnap her over her insane pandemic response?). She inflicted two draconian lockdowns for her state. But not for her. She ignored her own advice and went to Florida three times. No one knows who paid for the private Gulfstream jet that took her to Florida the last time in March. The pipeline transports up to 540,000 gallons of liquid natural gas and light crude oil a day.
Whitmer sued Enbridge Energy in Ingham County Circuit Court. Enbridge counter sued in U.S. federal court, maintaining the decision should come down to the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration. Whitmer is now trying to get the case back to Ingham. If successful, Whitmer can go after Enbridge Energy’s profits, roughly $1.4 million a day.
The National Wildlife Assoc. cheered Whitmer, as did the 12 Native American tribes that fear their fishing rights would be threatened if there was a break in the pipeline. Federal regulators declared the pipeline is safe.

Pressure is coming for the north and the south. Steelworkers from Local 912 placed 1500 hardhats on the lawn of the Michigan Capitol building in Lansing to signify the number of jobs that will be lost if Whitmer has her ridiculous, evil way.
They want another Capital Jan 6th event
If the pipeline continues a few more days a Capital event will be miniscule compared to the riots up and down the Eastern seaboard.
I am surprised she has not received severe consequences for her BS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Low gas prices facilitate freedom and Democrats are opposed to freedom.
If only it were that simple. Don't fall into the trap that, just because we think she's an idiot, ours is the prevailing view. Unfortunately, she has plenty of support -- from stupid people in our state.
RE: Low gas prices facilitate freedom and Democrats are opposed to freedom.
That and their official and openly stated reason - low gas prices mean more gas usage, more travelling and MORE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, which will destroy the planet since ( according to AOC and Greta Thunberg ( seconded by John Kerry ), we have barely 10 years left before environmental apocalypse comes.
Gonna have to ask at what point are Americans going to exercise their right to revolution and drive the tyrants like her out of this country.
RE: I am surprised she has not received severe consequences for her BS.
Does Michigan have a recall election law ( like California ) for those suffering from voter’s remorse?
“A (likely Russian) group calling itself DarkSide hacked the Colonial pipeline..”
A (likely democrat) group calling itself DarkSide hacked the Colonial pipeline
“blown away” part deux
Why can’t that beeyotch just order more frequent inspections of the pipeline instead, if she’s supposedly so worried about it?
I can see that. Detroit, Lansing, probably a few other cities, etc.
Like there is that kind of organization out there. Really...
The more evil she does the bigger her bonus.
The CO2 theory is just a ruse for control.
...brought to you by Woke-Coke, MSM, CCP + American 3-letter gov. agencies.
...and other "fine" sponsors.
I’m not sure how much support she has even in Detroit these days. I was unfortunately in Detroit over the week, and stopped at a grocers. The local interest news rack was filled with “Has Whitmer turned her back on Detroit?”, and “We carried her, she dropped us” and the like. The official numbers are around 50% support.
Of course, the timing on Line 5, is hilarious; I’m sure there will be a press conference somehow blaming the people of Michigan for it. It was our fault that she jetted to Florida, that her horrid husband tried to queue-jump, that her policies on coof failed...
All by plan.
