Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) released a defiant statement in response to the state Supreme Court striking down her controversial coronavirus mandates on Friday, reminding Michiganders that her rules are still in place for another three weeks.
In a 4-3 decision, the state’s high court ruled Friday the governor’s unilateral orders were “an unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution,” and therefore “the executive orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic now lack any basis under Michigan law.”
According to the Washington Examiner, the court gave a long list of businesses that were forced to be shuttered under Whitmer’s mandates, including:
Restaurants, food courts, cafes, coffeehouses, bars, taverns, brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, wineries, tasting rooms, clubs, hookah bars, cigar bars, vaping lounges, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors, schools, churches, theaters, cinemas, libraries, museums, gymnasiums, fitness centers, public swimming pools, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, spas, casinos, and racetracks.
In response, Whitmer — who has been battling it out with the Republican-led Michigan Legislature ever since she put her rules in place without their backing — accused the justices who ruled in the majority of playing politics. She also reminded her constituents that her regulations are still the law of the land for the time being. – READ MORE

Clare Bronfman, the Seagram’s heiress and sex-slave trafficker, was finally sentenced for her crimes against women and children on Wednesday. The New York Post reported:
Seagram’s liquor heiress and Nxivm cult member Clare Bronfman was sentenced Wednesday to six years and nine months in prison for her role in the upstate cult — a far harsher sentence than even prosecutors had asked for. The daughter of late Canadian billionaire Edgar Bronfman Sr. pleaded guilty last year to charges related to the notorious group and its sex-trafficking svengali, Keith Raniere.
I highly recommend the HBO documentary The Vow, which gives an inside look into the absolute insanity that was NXIVM. Powerful and elite weirdos ran the sex cult. They claimed to be searching for meaning but were, in fact, desperately in need of psychotherapy. Both Allison Mack and Keith Raniere are still waiting for sentencing more than a year after their convictions.
Bronfman received a little more than six years in the slammer for her part in the trafficking cult that enslaved illegal immigrants and tortured women and minor teens. To me, it seems light, but the prosecution claims it was more than they even asked for and was the maximum allowable sentence for this type of crime. Apparently, Judge Nicholas Garaufis showed up to play hardball. – READ MORE

“Who are your mentors?” Hill asked Jeezy.
“I like people with their own state of mind. I like Farrakhan,” he said.
The rapper described a conversation he had with Farrakhan a week before his arrest on gun charges in 2014.
“I just want you to know the enemy’s watching you,” Jeezy recalled Farrakhan saying.
Farrakhan has cited an unspecified “enemy” in the past when criticizing the U.S. government and the entertainment industry in Hollywood. In one video posted on Facebook, Farrakhan blamed the “enemy” for promoting interracial marriage, which he said “mongrelized” the black race.
Jeezy was arrested in August 2014 on a weapons charge in connection with a murder following a concert for fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa. The charges were dropped in December 2014 due to a lack of evidence.
In another interview in October 2015, Jeezy said that Farrakhan had warned him that the so-called “enemy” would eventually go after him because of a shift in the message in his music. Jeezy was an early pioneer of “trap” music, a genre of rap that originated in the south and glorifies drug dealing. His music has taken a more political tone in recent years along with many other artists in the industry.
Jeezy compared himself to Michael Jackson in the interview, saying that the pop star framed as a pedophile after his music ventured in a more activist direction.
“They don’t want you to get too powerful. Look what they did to Michael Jackson,” he said in the interview.
Jeezy asserted that Jackson came under investigation for molesting children because his music took on a more politically aggressive tone.
“They tried to make the man a pedophile. They did that to him,” Jeezy said of Jackson, who settled a lawsuit in the 1990s with the family of a boy who claimed he was molested by the pop star.
Jeezy is not the first rapper with ties to Farrakhan who Democrats have touted during the 2020 campaign. Common, a Chicago-based rapper, appeared at the Democratic National Committee’s convention in August.
The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
