So far , the Chinese coronavirus has killed over 342,000 worldwide , destroyed economies , and impoverished small business owners , yet World Health Organization ( W.H.O . )
chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was praised by China for his efforts .
Beijing ’ s top diplomat Wang Yi said that Tedros has done a good job and countries “ with decency ” will support him and the W.H.O .
in its future work .
Speaking at a press conference , Wang claimed the W.H.O .
was beyond reproach but failed to offer a single fact to back his claim .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that humanity is a community with a shared future.
” “ We must render each other more support and cooperation , and there should be less accusation and confrontation , ” he added .
“ We call on all nations to come together and build a better world for all , ” he said .
“ As for W.H.O.
’ s international standing and its place in history , I ’ m sure clear-eyed people the world over will reach a fair conclusion , one that will not be altered just because some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Breitbart.com reports : Those who throw mud at the W.H.O .
will only leave a stain on themselves , said Wang , in defiance of a host of countries who see nothing but hopeless mismanagement almost from the first day the virus was isolated .
U.S. health secretary Alex Azar has already blamed the W.H.O .
for not obtaining or providing the information needed to stem the pandemic .
“ We must be frank about one of the primary reasons this outbreak spun out of control : there was a failure by this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world needed , and that failure cost many lives , ” he said earlier this month .
As far back as January 14 , two months after health officials are believed to have detected the first case of the virus in China on November 17 of last year , the W.H.O .
was promoting a Chinese claim via Twitter that there was “ no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission.
” Meanwhile , the disease was spiraling out of control .
The W.H.O .
tweet came a day before the first case to reach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the state of Washington .
At the same time , the W.H.O .
explicitly warned against travel restrictions for those coming from Wuhan or elsewhere in China , despite the fact that these restrictions could could have saved the lives of tens of thousands of people who have since succumbed to the deadly virus .
Tedros ’ visit to Beijing was , in part , a vote of confidence in favor of keeping global travel ties to China .
“ The W.H.O .
noted that some countries are planning to evacuate their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no need to overact and the W.H.O .
is fully confident that the Chinese government can bring the spread of the disease under control , ” Chinese state media reported while Tedros was in Beijing on January 28 .
In the months since , the W.H.O .
has delivered other mixed messages about the Chinese coronavirus and even had its U.S. finances cut off , such is the level of frustration with its inability to carry out the most simple of tasks in warning the world of an approaching pandemic .
It has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solely for the Chinese Communist Party , a point noted in Washington : For his part , Tedros said on Friday his organization “ worked day and night to coordinate the global response ” to the coronavirus , “ providing technical advice , catalysing political solidarity , mobilising resources , coordinating resources and much more.
” “ So far almost $ 800 million has been pledged or received towards W.H.O.
’ s appeal for COVID-19 programs , leaving a gap of just over $ 900 million , ” Tedros told the 34 members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a three-hour teleconference , stressing the need – again – for more funding .

It appears the public health body has just revealed that it is influenced by external forces like the pharmaceutical industry.
According to NEO, the current WHO Scientific Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) is full of members who receive “financially significant” funds from either major vaccine makers, or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BGMF) or Wellcome Trust.
The Express reports: Last week, a study in the medical journal, The Lancet, said there were no benefits in treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine and that it may in fact be dangerous.
The WHO often takes advice and bases its policy direction on such studies.
The health body relies on science and industry to determine its own advice, as many of its leaders aren’t scientists or doctors, but in fact politicians.
The WHO’s judgement has, as a result, come under question, with some suggesting its leaders are not well placed to give advice they may not necessarily wholly understand.
Such a topic was explored during filmmaker Lilian Franck’s 2018 documentary, “TrustWHO”, which explored the often shady machinations of the organisation.
Ms Franck spoke to Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, a German doctor and former member of parliament.
Dr Wodarg had closely monitored the Swine Flu pandemic of 2009.
His investigations into the WHO’s handling of the pandemic led him to launch an inquiry into the Swine Flu pandemic and the WHO’s dealings with the pharmaceutical industry in the lead up to the N1H1 pandemic.
At a council meeting, Dr Wodarg declared that “all the business deals that had been prepared between individual countries and the pharmaceutical companies were about to be triggered by the WHO”.
He added: “The relevant contracts were mostly confidential and the companies insist they should never be published.”

“They have to depend on scientists.
“And the scientists are allocated to them by the countries and by the organisations that finance the WHO.
“And many of them gave advice and made decisions that benefited the pharmaceutical industry.”
The problem in the WHO relying on scientists as advisers is that many of them have conflicts of interest.
At the time, the WHO working group on Swine Flu consisted of 13 external consultants.
Two of them reported conflicts of interest – among them, Professor Neil Ferguson, the UK’s senior SAGE adviser who recently resigned after it emerged he had flouted lockdown rules.
Conflicts of interest must be declared by scientists before they join WHO advisory boards – revealing what scientists have ties with the pharmaceutical industry.
Taking Prof Ferguson’s case in isolation, he declared conflicts of interest – having received consultancy fees with GlaxoSmithKline, Baxter, and Roche.
These were the eventual manufacturers of Swine Flu vaccines and medications.
As a result, an issue with the conflicts of interest being allowed by the WHO is that those scientific advisers may demonstrate bias and favouritism towards the pharmaceutical companies they work with.
In a 2010 interview with the pharmaceutical publication, Scrip, Prof Ferguson explained the extent of his ties to the companies.
He said: “I chose to end the relationship with GSK and Roche in 2007 due to the mounting pressures of other (more important) work, and because I wanted to pursue advisory work with public bodies which is more easily done without current relationships with commercial companies.”
He added: “I think it would be difficult to find a true expert on influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs who has not worked at some time with pharma companies.
“The development of such products is undertaken by commercial companies, they have the data, and they are interested in research which relates to their products.
“I think science generally benefits from links between academic and commercial research, as does the quality of scientific advice offered to public health agencies.”
Express.co.uk contacted Prof Ferguson days before he resigned to ask whether he had declared any conflicts of interest during the current coronavirus pandemic.
Prof Ferguson said: “I have no commercial consultancy interests, and have not had for several years.
“For the reasons previously stated, I have no links with pharmaceutical and/or vaccine companies related to work on pandemics.
“My only links to vaccine and pharmaceutical companies are in the area of dengue (a mosquito borne virus which is a research interest of mine).
“I receive no personal income or expense payments from that work.

Vice President Mike Pence has put the censors at Silicon Valley on notice, warning that the U.S. government is “not going to tolerate” their silencing of conservative voices.
Asked during an interview on Friday about big tech companies such as Google, Twitter, and Facebook trying to suppress conservative voices, Pence said that President Trump has “made it very clear” that this type of behaviour is totally unacceptable.

“Well, the president has made it very clear that we are not going to tolerate censorship on the Internet and social media against conservatives,” Pence said. “We’re just not going to tolerate it.”
Breitbart.com reports: The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Trump is mulling creating a panel to review big tech bias against conservatives. The Wall Street Journal’s Alex Leary and John McKinnon wrote.:
President Trump is considering establishing a panel to review complaints of anticonservative bias on social media, according to people familiar with the matter, in a move that would likely draw pushback from technology companies and others. The plans are still under discussion but could include the establishment of a White House-created commission that would examine allegations of online bias and censorship, these people said. The administration could also encourage similar reviews by federal regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Election Commission, they said.
Pence, in his interview with Breitbart News, made clear conservative media voices are key to the public getting accurate information in this election year. Pence said that given the fact the vast majority of the establishment media has gotten several major stories—from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to impeachment and more—wrong, the public needs more voices not less to get the truth.
“The great news is there are—in addition to Breitbart—there are great and consistent voices bringing the facts to the American people,” Pence said. “While many in the mainstream media have been after this president, after this administration, since before our inauguration, it’s been that chorus of voices on the Internet that have brought forth the truth and the facts to the American people. Whether it be the whole Mueller investigation or the Russia hoax or whether it be the impeachment that was brought forward and rejected by the Senate, it’s been those voices that’s made a difference for America, and we have every confidence going forward that we’re going to make sure the First Amendment rights of people who cherish freedom and cherish what this president has been able to do for this country are preserved, and I have every confidence that with that great army of conservative thinkers on the Internet we’re going to drive toward a great victory come November.”
Asked also about the recent GOP win in California’s 25th congressional district special election, and if it signals a coming “red wave” in November, Pence first noted that the GOP also had a big win in Wisconsin. Then he noted that he believes he and Trump are headed to a victory in November as well.
“Don’t leave out Wisconsin too. It was a couple of great wins,” Pence said. “Look, I couldn’t be more proud to be vice president to President Donald Trump. In our first three years, this is a president who rebuilt our military, who appointed more principled conservatives to our courts than any president in history. This is a president who revived the American economy after the slowest post-cession recovery in history under the Obama administration. Millions of jobs created through tax cuts, regulatory relief, unleashing American energy, free and fair trade. And this is a president who has led our nation through one of the greatest challenges in the last century that has saved lives. He stood up not just a whole-of-government response, but he stood up a whole-of-America response. He marshaled not just the full power of the federal government but the full power of the American economy to meet this moment. We’re going to continue to do that as we continue to build up our supply reserves and continue to develop therapeutics and vaccines going forward. I think as the American people see the leadership that President Donald Trump has provided this nation they know that come November that President Donald Trump is exactly the right man to lead our nation’s economy back and to keep America strong, secure, prosperous, and healthy, and I’m looking forward to campaigning with him all the way to another victory in November 2020.”

newspunch--2020-05-26--POTUS Vows to Break the Deep State: “I’m Exposing the Swamp”

President Donald Trump has vowed to “ break the deep state , ” saying that major players working against his administration are “ being exposed.
” POTUS assured Americans that corrupt deep state insiders working against America ’ s interests will be dealt with severely .
In an interview with investigate journalist Sharyl Akisson on Sunday , President Trump outlined the challenges of his presidency to break the stranglehold deep states officials have over America .
Trump expressed his commitment to fight them until they are destroyed .
During the interview , Atkisson brought up recent actions by acting Director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ classified documents that have exposed the Obama-era anti-Trump campaign that triggered the Obamagate scandal .
Transcript is as follows : Sharyl : A lot of alleged wrongdoing has been uncovered by FBI and intelligence officials , particularly lately .
Until Richard Grenell was made the Acting Director of National Intelligence by you , reporters , members of Congress , members of the public had asked to see a lot of this information really for three years , but it was kept hidden .
What do you make of that ?
Because it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration .
President Trump : Richard Grenell is a superstar .
He had guts , he had courage to do what he did .
We have another superstar going in as you know , John Ratcliffe .
He just got approved yesterday and he ’ ll be taken over as of Tuesday .
Richard Grenell has done one of the best jobs I ’ ve ever seen .
I mean , in a short period of time , he exposed them as being corrupt .
Look , they were trying to do a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States illegally .
It ’ s all illegal .
Now , I don ’ t know what happens .
We hope Bill Barr is going to be as good as we think because Bill , he ’ s a great gentleman , a great man .
He ’ s got to hopefully use that information and do what ’ s right .
And he ’ ll do what ’ s right .
Bill Barr will do what ’ s right , but what Richard Grenell has done for this country is incredible .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richard Grenell ?
You had other people who work , serve this administration .
President Trump : I did .
Because they didn ’ t do their job .
They didn ’ t do their job .
Dan Coats should have never let that happen .
Dan Coats sat there for two years , didn ’ t do his job .
He then had a replacement .
There was a nice gentleman from the military , but he was only there for a short period of time .
But I ’ m so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do his job .
Jeff Sessions was a disaster as attorney general .
Should have never been attorney general , was not qualified .
He ’ s not mentally qualified to be attorney general .
He was the biggest problem .
I mean , look Jeff Sessions put people in place that were a disaster .
They took over .
They ’ ve always had the Department of Justice , but they kept it under Jeff Sessions .
And the whole thing , the Russian thing is a total hoax .
Think of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million dollars investigating .
We took two and a half years .
They found nothing .
No collusion .
Friend of mine called a very smart , great businessman .
He said , you must be the most honest person in the world .
You went through years and years .
They interviewed people that I haven ’ t seen in many years , millions of phone calls , not one to Russia .
Look , some of the people .
And I say this , I say it proudly .
I came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 17 times in my whole life .
I came , the 18th time , I was President of the United States .
I had a great life .
I did really well .
A lot of good things that happened .
Now what ’ s happened , but I didn ’ t know people in Washington and whether it ’ s Sessions , which was a mistake or Dan Coats was a big mistake , but Sessions was a big one .
Coats , he sat there .
He didn ’ t do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richard Grenell has done in eight weeks , these people didn ’ t do anything for two and a half years .
They should have been exposing this .
So I ’ m very disappointed in certain people .
And some people have done a phenomenal job , but what am I doing ?
I ’ m fighting the deep state .
I ’ m fighting the swamp .
And I said I was doing it .
And I ’ m exposing the swamp .
I think if it keeps going the way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is fantastic .
If it keeps going the way it ’ s going , I have a chance to break the deep state .
It ’ s a vicious group of people .
It ’ s very bad for our country .
And that ’ s never happened before .
You happen to be a victim of the deep state .
I hate to tell you , whether you know it or not , but they ’ ve treated you horribly over the years .
And so have they treated many other people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to win , and then I won .
And then they tried to get me out .
That was the insurance policy .
She ’ s going to win , but just in case she doesn ’ t win we have an insurance policy .
And now I beat them on the insurance policy , and now they ’ re being exposed .
Comey is a dirty cop , McCabe , bad guy .
These are all bad guys .
Lisa Page and Strzok .
These are the two lovers , right ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ put it out public , because they didn ’ t want anybody to see , like spouses , et cetera , to see that they were having an affair .
And because they did that , they got caught .
Tremendous things have happened .
They forged documents .
We caught them .
They had people that had forged documents .
I would like to see it move much faster .
I ’ ll be honest with you .
To me , I don ’ t need any more information .
I know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
Other than I appoint people .
I purposely stayed out of it .
But I ’ ll tell you what , what they ’ ve done , if this were president Obama , if this were a Democrat instead of a Republican , people would have been in jail for two years , many people would have been in jail for two years already with a 50 year term .
Okay ?
50 years , but we caught them .
Now , hopefully Bill Barr is going to do something about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Other things are going to come out too .
And a lot of other things are going to come out , but you don ’ t even need other things .
What they ’ ve done is so corrupt , they ’ ve tried to take down a duly elected president of the United States , happens to be in this case , me , but we can never allow it to happen again .

newspunch--2020-05-26--NATO Rejects Russia’s Proposal To Put Military Drills On Hold During Covid-19 Pandemic

NATO has rejected Moscow ’ s proposal to jointly freeze military exercises while the world is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic .
Russia said it can not afford “ unilateral concessions ” to the Western bloc .
RT reports : Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had addressed NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg , proposing to mutually halt military drills as a “ constructive and positive step ” towards restraint amid the ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak , Russian business newspaper Kommersant reported .
NATO promptly rejected this idea .
The US-led military bloc ’ s spokesperson , Oana Lungescu , told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purely defensive and proportionate , while the enhanced posturing near Russia ’ s western borders is a response to Moscowramping up its military potential in the Baltic Sea region .
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Rybakov called NATO ’ s response “ disappointing.
” The Western bloc has “ withdrawn to their close-minded positions , which they have been traditionally holding , and are adhering to regardless to the pandemic or Russia ’ s [ new ] proposals , ” he noted .
The raging pandemic forced many countries to drastically alter their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of many planned drills or cancelling them.
” Last week , Lavrov announced that the nation ’ s military is “ scaling down their exercises , and does not plan any exercises near the NATO ’ s borders.
” NATO , meanwhile , has significantly scaled down – but not stopped – its US-led Defender-Europe 20 war games , which were designed to be the alliance ’ s biggest joint exercise on the European continent since World War II , originally involving more than 37,000 troops .
Moscow has long been saying that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a threat to its security and undermines stability in Europe .
NATO , in turn , has been calling on Moscow to revise the Vienna Document 2011 – an agreement that outlines the confidence-building measures , transparency , and third-party monitoring of military drills .
Russia insists that minor changes will not resolve the current tensions but rather “ legitimize ” them .
Ryabkov stressed that if the Western bloc wants to improve the security situation in Europe , it should not only issue demands but also offer something “ interesting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national security .

newspunch--2020-05-26--Gov. Whitmer’s Husband Caught Planning Boat Party While She Orders Michigan To Stay At Home

Democrat Gov .
Gretchen Whitmer told Michigan residents to cancel non-essential travel and stay-at-home to observe strict lockdown rules , but it seems those rules don ’ t apply to her own family .
A Michigan dock company says Gov .
Whitmer ’ s husband asked to have his boat placed in the water off their second home for the Memorial Day weekend — while his wife was instructing people not to travel to the area and stay at home .
Gov .
Whitmer lives in the governor ’ s mansion with her husband Marc Mallory in the state capital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own a property in the Elk Rapids area , meaning Mallory was presumably set to break Michigan ’ s stay at home guidelines and travel to their second home to spend the holiday weekend on the water .
Tad Dowker , the owner of NorthShore Dock , posted a comment on Facebook on Thursday claiming that Gov .
Whitmer ’ s husband requested to have his boat placed in the lake near the family ’ s second home for the weekend .
‘ This morning I was out working when the office called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hold who wanted his boat in the water before the weekend , ’ the post read .
‘ Being memorial weekend and the fact that we started working 3 weeks late means there is no change this is going to happen .
‘ Well our office personal had explained this to the man and he replied “ I am the husband to the Governor , will this make a difference ” .
’ DailyMail report : The post included two emojis , one of them expressing laughter and the other appearing to show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it does make a difference , that would put you to the back of the line !
!
!
‘ Needless to say , our Governor and her husband will not be getting their boat for memorial day .
‘ To good not to share , I love it when karma comes around , even if just in small doses.
’ One rule for me , another for thee Tiffany Brown , a spokesperson for Whitmer , did not confirm or deny the claims made by Dowker .
Brown told The Detroit News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rumor that is spread online.
’ ‘ Our practice is not to discuss the governor ’ s or her family ’ s personal calendar/schedules , ’ Brown said .
‘ And we ’ re not going to make it a practice of addressing every rumor that is spread online .
Dowker posted the message on Facebook three days after Whitmer announced that she would ease some business and travel restrictions on the Northern Lower Michigan and Upper Peninsula regions .
Those areas , which are home to vacationers who own lakefront cottages , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parts of the state .
Whitmer , a Democrat , has come under fierce criticism from her political opponents who accuse her of overstepping her authority by imposing sweeping lockdowns due to the spread of the coronavirus .
She first announced statewide stay-at-home orders on March 23 .
While Whitmer lives in the governor ’ s mansion with her husband in the state capital of Lansing , the couple owns a property in the Elk Rapids area .
The property is estimated to be worth somewhere in the region of half-a-million dollars .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ company posted a statement saying that its employees were being inundated with requests for comment from the news media and that they had no time to deal with the issue .
‘ After a long day of keeping crews running , adhering to the additional safety regulations that need to be in place to operate our small business and fielding calls from customers frustrated with our lagging installation schedule I was told the governor ’ s husband called asking for install availability , ’ the company posted .
‘ Up until this point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no idea we installed their dock or boat.
’ The company said that Mallory was respectful and understanding when he was told that his request to have the boat ready on the lake early could not be accommodated .
Whitmer ’ s opponents in Michigan seized on her husband ’ s request to criticize her for making plans in her vacation home even while she advises other Michiganders to think twice before taking nonessential trips in the state .
‘ If you don ’ t live in these regions … think long and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , ’ Whitmer said during a news conference last Monday .
‘ A small spike could put the hospital system in dire straits pretty quickly .
‘ That ’ s precisely why we ’ re asking everyone to continue doing their part .
‘ Don ’ t descend on Traverse City from all regions of the state.
’ Traverse City , a popular destination site in Michigan , is just a 25-minute drive away from Elk Rapids .
Tom Barrett , a Republican state lawmaker , posted a message on Facebook criticizing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his boat ready .
The post went viral , as it was shared some 500 times .
But Barrett deleted the post after the governor ’ s office reached out to the staff of Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey , also a Republican .
Whitmer aides told Shirkey ’ s office that the post was false and asked that it be removed .
Barrett said he looked into the situation and believes that his initial post was correct .
He criticized the governor for telling residents not to ‘ descend ’ on Traverse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her family try and do ?
’ Barrett said .
‘ In the Army , we have a tradition that the leaders get in line for chow last behind everyone else in the unit .
‘ Here is the leader of our state .
… Her family is trying to cut people in line .

A Michigan dock company says Gov. Whitmer’s husband asked to have his boat placed in the water off their second home for the Memorial Day weekend — while his wife was instructing people not to travel to the area and stay at home.

Gov. Whitmer lives in the governor’s mansion with her husband Marc Mallory in the state capital of Lansing, but the couple also own a property in the Elk Rapids area, meaning Mallory was presumably set to break Michigan’s stay at home guidelines and travel to their second home to spend the holiday weekend on the water.
Tad Dowker, the owner of NorthShore Dock, posted a comment on Facebook on Thursday claiming that Gov. Whitmer’s husband requested to have his boat placed in the lake near the family’s second home for the weekend.
‘This morning I was out working when the office called me, there was a gentleman on hold who wanted his boat in the water before the weekend,’ the post read.
‘Being memorial weekend and the fact that we started working 3 weeks late means there is no change this is going to happen.
‘Well our office personal had explained this to the man and he replied “I am the husband to the Governor, will this make a difference”.’
DailyMail report: The post included two emojis, one of them expressing laughter and the other appearing to show curiosity.
‘As you can imagine it does make a difference, that would put you to the back of the line!!!
‘Needless to say, our Governor and her husband will not be getting their boat for memorial day.
‘To good not to share, I love it when karma comes around, even if just in small doses.’
One rule for me, another for thee
Tiffany Brown, a spokesperson for Whitmer, did not confirm or deny the claims made by Dowker.
Brown told The Detroit News that Whitmer refused to address ‘every rumor that is spread online.’
‘Our practice is not to discuss the governor’s or her family’s personal calendar/schedules,’ Brown said. ‘And we’re not going to make it a practice of addressing every rumor that is spread online.
Dowker posted the message on Facebook three days after Whitmer announced that she would ease some business and travel restrictions on the Northern Lower Michigan and Upper Peninsula regions.
Those areas, which are home to vacationers who own lakefront cottages, have reported fewer COVID-19 cases than other parts of the state.
Whitmer, a Democrat, has come under fierce criticism from her political opponents who accuse her of overstepping her authority by imposing sweeping lockdowns due to the spread of the coronavirus.
She first announced statewide stay-at-home orders on March 23.
While Whitmer lives in the governor’s mansion with her husband in the state capital of Lansing, the couple owns a property in the Elk Rapids area.
The property is estimated to be worth somewhere in the region of half-a-million dollars.
After Dowker deleted his post, his company posted a statement saying that its employees were being inundated with requests for comment from the news media and that they had no time to deal with the issue.
‘After a long day of keeping crews running, adhering to the additional safety regulations that need to be in place to operate our small business and fielding calls from customers frustrated with our lagging installation schedule I was told the governor’s husband called asking for install availability,’ the company posted.
‘Up until this point we, as a company, had no idea we installed their dock or boat.’
The company said that Mallory was respectful and understanding when he was told that his request to have the boat ready on the lake early could not be accommodated.
Whitmer’s opponents in Michigan seized on her husband’s request to criticize her for making plans in her vacation home even while she advises other Michiganders to think twice before taking nonessential trips in the state.
‘If you don’t live in these regions … think long and hard before you take a trip into them,’ Whitmer said during a news conference last Monday.
‘A small spike could put the hospital system in dire straits pretty quickly.
‘That’s precisely why we’re asking everyone to continue doing their part.
‘Don’t descend on Traverse City from all regions of the state.’
Traverse City, a popular destination site in Michigan, is just a 25-minute drive away from Elk Rapids.
Tom Barrett, a Republican state lawmaker, posted a message on Facebook criticizing Mallory for the reported request to have his boat ready.
The post went viral, as it was shared some 500 times.
But Barrett deleted the post after the governor’s office reached out to the staff of Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, also a Republican.
Whitmer aides told Shirkey’s office that the post was false and asked that it be removed.
Barrett said he looked into the situation and believes that his initial post was correct. He criticized the governor for telling residents not to ‘descend’ on Traverse City.
‘Yet, what did her family try and do?’ Barrett said.
‘In the Army, we have a tradition that the leaders get in line for chow last behind everyone else in the unit.
‘Here is the leader of our state. … Her family is trying to cut people in line.’

Johnson Jr., who is alleged to have committed the child sex crimes while a sworn police officer, remains in jail on 11 counts, including aggravated sexual battery, indecent liberties, forcible sodomy and object sexual penetration.
The alleged abuses are said to have occurred between May of 2018 and April of 2020. She was an acquaintance of the former officer and the alleged abuse happened at a residence in Woodbridge.
According to the Washington Post:
Johnson started working as an officer in 1987 and retired in 2018. A month after he retired, Johnson returned to work as a senior sergeant until he left again in 2019.

Several other officers on the D.C. police force also have been charged with sexual crimes involving youths. Among them is Linwood Barnhill Jr., a longtime D.C. police officer who was charged in 2013 with prostituting two teenage girls and possessing child pornography. In 2014, Barnhill pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Barnhill, a long-time veteran of the D.C. Police Department, was also exposed for running a child sex ring out of his house. In 2014, in an early morning search warrant issued for his Southeast D.C. apartment found a 15-year-old girl who had previously been reported missing by her parents.
When police rescued the girl she told officers that she had met six other girls inside the Southeast D.C. apartment who told her they were also being prostituted, including with ads posted on backpage.com. Barnhill also took naked photos of the girls, purportedly for use in advertisements for sex.
