Retailers To Whitmer: We Aren't Your Face Mask Police – Michigan Capitol Confidential
- Governor imposes face mask mandate for customers at any business open to public
"The Michigan Retailers Association said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order that businesses must not serve customers without a face mask is impossible to enforce.
..."Notably, the order includes various exemptions, and it still allows individuals to enter a public space without a mask if they cannot medically tolerate it," the Michigan Retailers Association stated. "Determining the validity of an ambiguous exemption is an impossible task for a retailer.
And now, even retailers acting in good faith could be subject to severe licensing sanctions based on the actions of non-compliant customers."
The Michigan Retailers Association said enforcement should be left to the police.
Retailers found to be in violation of the executive order could have their business license temporary suspended as well as their liquor license...

Statues and monuments of historical figures have been defaced and removed in the wake of protests sparked by the death of George Floyd. The Fox News host followed that up with footage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defending the lawlessness as people who “will do what they do.”

Does this chart merit the strictest mandate upon our population to date?
Why are masks (which pose health risks of their own) being mandated statewide by our tyrannical Governor NOW, but were not back in April and May?
I see no data to support the need for Adolf #Whitmer's unlawful executive order.
I do know that she has political aspirations for VP this November, and that she wants to keep the State in crisis mode as long as possible to affect the 2020 Election in her Party's favor.

She has made it no secret that she hates the current President.
This appears to be all about politics and has nothing to do with our health anymore (if her policies ever did).
For those who trade stocks, I'm sure you'd agree that - by this chart - we should SELL the Coronavirus because it's not returning to its all-time high and could be delisted soon.
Wake up Michiganders, educate yourselves, and don't #MaskUp if you do not have to."

America Needs To Stop Reacting To Coronavirus Like Hysterics
America Needs To Stop Reacting To Coronavirus Like Hysterics:
The decision, not based on science, is typical of the decisions made by many elites in response to the novel coronavirus sweeping the globe.
- Americans are learning how to cope with the virus in a common-sense way. That doesn't mean being reckless, but neither does it mean cowering inside every day of every week and every month unless a vaccine shows up.
The decision, not based on science, is typical of the decisions made by many elites in response to the novel coronavirus sweeping the globe.
Global pandemics aren’t new, but the way many Americans are responding to this one is.
...America is in an epic battle with the Wuhan coronavirus.
It’s not fun.
It’s been messing with us.
It behaves oddly.
But Americans should want America to win.
Instead, it seems like a lot of our media and other institutions are rooting for the virus and have an attitude suggesting the virus has us dead to rights.

One of the ways the media root for the virus is by hyping it like they hype local sports teams.
It’s not that it’s not a horrifically deadly and contagious virus — it is.
But the media routinely amplify its actual risk by many multiples.

Nancy Pelosi faces the wrath of social media after dismissive statement about mobs tearing down statues - TheBlaze
Pelosi indicated that she didn't disapprove of the illegal vandalism of statues in a media briefing on Thursday. She was asked about a statue of Columbus that was thrown into Baltimore harbor by protesters.
"Well you know, I'm not a big, I don't even have my grandmother's earrings, I'm not a big, uh, let's see what we have in terms of monuments, I'm more interested in terms of what people have accomplished," Pelosi said.

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"I was looking at the things that are supposed to be characteristics of "white privilege" as defined by black activists, things like:
These are typically the reasons used by slackers and underperforming employees.
Some of them are even contradictory - in many of these, white privilege is supposed to be bad because it doesn't allow individuality and yet individuality is also bad.
If this is what people are being taught (and it is), they are not being taught the dangers of "white privilege" they are being taught how to fail at work and at life.
- Wanting things done right (A quest for perfection)
- A sense of urgency (somehow being motivated is a sin)
- Defending your position (BLM says "defensiveness")
- Expecting production (the BLM folks call this "quantity over quality")
- Writing things down (the BLM folks call this "worship of the written word)
- Respect for the chain of command (BLM says "paternalism")
- Decision making (BLM says "either/or thinking)
- Getting promoted/attaining increased responsibilities (BLM says "power hoarding")
- Leadership (BLM says "fear of open conflict")
- Out of the box thinking (BLM says "individualism")
- Success (BLM says "progress is more")
- Being fair (BLM says "objectivity" - somehow objectivity is bad)
- Respect for leadership (BLM says "right to comfort")
Some of them are even contradictory - in many of these, white privilege is supposed to be bad because it doesn't allow individuality and yet individuality is also bad.
If this is what people are being taught (and it is), they are not being taught the dangers of "white privilege" they are being taught how to fail at work and at life.
They are being taught that their lack of success is due to the racism of whites people and not a lack of performance.
None of this is "white", it is how people become successful at any level in a capitalist economy no matter what skin color you wear."

The key to safety on college campuses this fall? Student willpower to avoid parties - mlive.com
"Michigan college campuses are going to look very different this fall.

...The outbreak moved Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to sign an executive order aimed at reducing crowded indoor bar atmospheres.
Now, patrons must wear masks, stay seated and can’t congregate on dance floors.
...“We are in our prime and people are going to want to see their friends, but it’s a matter of respecting other people’s health as well,” West said
...“We are deeply concerned about what is going to go on at student rental housing, fraternities and sororities where there won’t be oversight and control over the need to social distance and mask,” said Vail.

“...the Black Lives Matter movement’s radical cultural hegemony.
Establishment Republicans made the same mistake by ignoring the movement’s radical premise: that at its core, America is rotten and systemically racist, and thus woke Americans must rebuild and reimagine the country from the ground up.
...Maybe many Americans are willing to have a productive conversation about race.
Maybe they want ...to respectfully question the merits of workplace diversity training programs, for example.
But the risk in participating far outweighs any reward.

- No one outside conservative media can criticize Black Lives Matter without being fired or ostracized, so how can we expect the average American to chime in for a productive dialogue?

25,000 Academics Dismiss Citizenship as 'Artificial Distinction':
More than 25,000 U.S. university teachers signed a petition that touts job-seeking migrants by demeaning U.S. citizenship as merely an “artificial distinction” between Americans and foreigners.
The dismissal of citizenship by citizen funded academics is being used to rationalize their support for smuggling their fee-paying foreign graduates into the jobs needed right now by their unemployed American students, said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
