Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's order closing public school buildings also bans homeschooling, which is unconstitutional, contends a legal non-profit in the state.
"The Great Lakes Justice Center calls upon Gov. Whitmer to correct this unconstitutional action and assure parents in Michigan that they may continue to safely home school their own children while the EO is in effect," the organization said in a statement Thursday.
The April 2 order states "in-person instruction for pupils in kindergarten through grade 12 is suspended for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year."

I dunno, Loddy. That seems to be the new normal now. Maybe we're the problem.
I just got my property tax bill today. Under separate cover from the city was a notice that due to the WuFlu pandemic, city residents are forbidden from putting "unnecessary" garbage or recycling in our bins to be hauled away.
I thought all garbage was unnecessary. That's why we put it out?

"We are seeing the most draconian measures enforced at all levels of government that we've ever seen in our lifetimes, and yet rather than being alarmed by the things going on, so many of you applaud.
People are being arrested for spending too much time outside, and you applaud. Pastors are being arrested for daring to hold church services, and you applaud. A child's birthday party is raided by police, and you applaud. A young woman is ticketed for going on a leisurely drive alone because it's deemed 'non-essential travel', and you applaud. A parade of school teachers and administrators who wanted to drive through neighborhoods and wave at children is busted up by cops because they were 'nonessential,' and you applaud. A lone paddleboarder in the ocean on a beach without any other people around is arrested because he's violating quarantine orders, and you applaud.
People are being denied life saving medical treatments because they're not a priority right now (not 'essential' as deemed by the government) as the entirety of our medical system is focused on one thing, and you applaud.
Businesses are beings forcibly closed and padlocked and owners arrested for refusing to shut down, and you applaud. Dairy farmers (and soon, other farmers) are being incentivized to stop dairy farming and to sell their herds, and you don't seem to understand the implications.
You're being told to use hotlines and online forms provided by your local governments to report your neighbors who don't obey, and you comply. You scold people day after day for not obeying government edicts, and if any of us dare to question what's happening, you lecture about how we're a danger to society and and we just don't care about people dying.
You've somehow managed to convince yourselves that the people whose lives are affected by a virus are MUCH more important than the people whose lives are being destroyed (and in many cases, leading to death) by the effects of a worldwide economic shutdown and impending worldwide depression the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
At what point will you start QUESTIONING what's going on? How far does the government have to push before you're jolted awake from your slumber? How far are you willing to go with this?
If they told you to load your families onto train cars so that you could be taken to Virus Protection Facilities for your own safety, would you do it?
YES. Yes, you would.That much has become painfully obvious to me. And the whole time, you'd be shaking your finger and yelling at those of us who refused, accusing us of being 'a danger to society' and 'not caring if people die.'
But they don't have to load you onto train cars and take you to Virus Protection Facilities, or force you to comply, because you do that voluntarily. They control your mind. They control you through fear. They control you by convincing you that the world is a scary dangerous place, but they're here to protect you, care for you, and keep you safe, just as long as you OBEY.
They know that as long as you're locked inside your comfortable home with Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a cell phone, while dangling a $1200 check in front of you like a carrot on a stick, you'll comply. No force is necessary for the majority of the herd.
YOU ARE IMPRISONED, willingly, and you're too blind to see it."

Judson old friend, the proper usage should be ""WE"" not ""you"".
For better or worse, WE are in this together.
WE are looking for a LEADER, not an accuser.
WE have to remember one thing, Shrillary won the popular vote by a large margin, meaning those millions are still there, waiting for a White Knight to ride to our rescue. Encouraging them to greater efforts will indeed lead to an end NO ONE WILL LIKE.

This insanity will peak in November, for better or worse.
WE need to accept WE are the minority, by far. Encouraging anyone to rise up and smite the government because of current conditions is foolhardy.
Let it play out in November. If we lose the electoral college, we are done.
NOT JUST YOU, WE.

That is the official, outright position of our overlords -- nothing 'conspiracy theory' about it. They're openly declaring their war on "us" without calling it that:
"The Biggest Terror Threat in the Country is White Men, CNNs Lying Racist Anchor Says"

I'm telling you all, their plan is to KILL US OFF, which they will do if we don't stop them. Don't look for anything rational from them, they're MAD.

Wall Street has long used their control of finance to pick winners and losers. Hollywood is a prime example.
Also, remember that Ford was the only auto company hit by a labor strike in the thirties.
