Executive Order 2020-21 temporarily restricts gatherings and travel and prohibits in-person work that is not necessary to sustain or protect life.
Whitmer wants to keep her state shut down until June 9, which would cause incredible economic damage in a key battleground state heading into November’s presidential election.

Watch the segment of Navarro’s takeaway during Thursday’s Presidential briefing on efforts to contain and defeat the epidemic:
Navarro acknowledged that reversing the catastrophic outsourcing of American industrial capabilities for profit would have to wait until the coronavirus crisis is contained, but stated after the crisis the lack of ability to produce would have to be dealt with.
“No matter how many treaties you have, how many alliances… When push comes to shove, you run the risk as a nation of not having what you need.” Navarro, currently tasked with overseeing the Defense Production Act fulfillment process, noted that several major countries have already enacted export restrictions to outfit their own stockpiles.
The United States has proved unable to marshal the necessary amount of supplies crucial to treating patients infected with the virus. Manufacturers of ventilators and other necessary equipment were outsourced to cheap-labor facilities in Asia and China decades ago, and now the United States is finding that it’s impossible to import what’s needed as demand for the life-saving equipment surges.
American companies scrambling in an attempt to meet the massive demand are still relying on cheap foreign contractors in China. American manufacturers with the capability to begin working on the production of the machines today have reported that the major companies tasked with delivering them-such as General Motors- consider American producers merely an option of last resort.

According to the lawsuit, Belanger was mobbed by eight police vehicles and 15 police officers while protesting at the Scotsdale Women’s Center in Detroit on March 31. His fellow activists, Phillips and Zastrow, arrived after the cops showed up on the scene.
“We’re here for a violation of a stay at home order by the Governor,” one of the officers allegedly said to the pro-life activists who were not permitted to engage in 1st Amendment activism due to Whitmer’s decree.
Belanger received a “State of Michigan Uniform Law Citation,” which would be a misdemeanor violation if he is ultimately convicted of the offense, for his pro-life activism.

Muise believes that Whitmer’s executive orders are capricious and unlawful because they carve out exceptions for Michigan residents to use public sidewalks “[t]o engage in outdoor activity, including walking, hiking, running, cycling, or any other recreational activity consistent with remaining at least six feet from people.” However, there are no provisions in the executive orders to protect the 1st Amendment rights of protesters such as these pro-life activists.

“If the stated purpose of the Executive Order is true—that it was issued “to sustain or protect life”—then Governor Whitmer should order the immediate closure of all abortion centers throughout the State.

State Officials Target Hobby Lobby for Refusing to Close During Coronavirus Lockdown
State officials are flexing their muscle during the coronavirus pandemic and targeting Christian retail giant Hobby Lobby for staying open for business in spite of lockdown orders.
The Colorado Attorney General’s office has demanded that Hobby Lobby close all their stores throughout the state, claiming that the business is nonessential.
“For the avoidance of doubt, and as you have been previously notified, Hobby Lobby is not a ‘critical business,'” stated the letter from attorney general Phil Weiser’s office, according to ABC News. “You are directed to immediately close all Hobby Lobby locations within the State of Colorado.”
“Craft stores including Hobby Lobby are not considered essential businesses under the order,” a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Public Health said to ABC on Wednesday. “Breaking the order is breaking the law.”
The Ohio Attorney General is targeting Hobby Lobby as well for their resistance of edicts meant to shut down storefronts capriciously throughout the state.
Hobby Lobby properly closed its stores during Ohio’s stay-home order. Now they’re open again — what’s changed? Neither the order, nor the seriousness of the health threat, for sure. I sent a cease & desist letter to their general counsel. https://t.co/HVqDhFfhqo — Attorney General Dave Yost (@Yost4Ohio) April 1, 2020
Hobby Lobby locations that remain operational maintain that they are “essential businesses” because they are “offering PPE masks, supplies, educational supplies, office supplies and various components for home small businesses.”
Hobby Lobby’s founder and CEO David Green has kept his Christian principles throughout the crisis and has not lost sight of what really matters amidst the coronavirus hysteria.
“While we do not know for certain what the future holds, or how long this disruption will last, we can all rest in knowing that God is in control,” Green wrote in a letter to his employees on March 19.
“To help ensure our Company remains strong and prepared to prosper once again when this passes, we may all have to ‘tighten our belts’ over the near future,” he added.
In addition, Green sent out memos to managers letting them know that the company intended to “continue to make every effort to work the employees” throughout the coronavirus pandemic. He also coached them on “how to respond and communicate if visited by a local authority that asks why we are open.”
Police have already physically shut down Hobby Lobby stores that have refused to comply with the state-level edicts.
“We made contact with the business around 11 a.m. and found that it was open,” West Allis Deputy Police Chief Christopher Botsch said about his agency’s forced closure of a Hobby Lobby store in Wisconsin.
“We took this as an opportunity to educate the business on the specifics of the governor’s order. The business was cooperative and closed without incident,” he added.
The coronavirus pandemic, used as an excuse to shut down the country and revoke the Bill of Rights by opportunistic government bureaucrats, may signal the death of the American Dream forever.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-04-04--Houston Police Allow Abortion Clinic to Operate Despite Texas Courts Ruling Them Non-Essential

On March 30th , a judge ruled that Texas abortion clinics could stay open .
This ruling came a few days after the Texas governor , Greg Abbott , deemed abortion servies non-essential .
Since abortions are clearly elective surgeries , the ruling was overturned by a vote of 2-1 in the 5th circuit court of appeals on March 31st .
Meaning , the governor ’ s order stands and abortion clinics must close until non-essential businesses are allowed to open back up .
This hasn ’ t stopped one abortion clinic in Houston from continuing to kill the unborn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1st , via the YouTube channel ‘ ProofThatGodExists , ’ an abortion clinic in Houston is shown to still be accepting clients .

So far, there are over 258,000 Wuhan Virus cases according to John Hopkins University’s Coronavirus Resource Center.

And even on the economy, a major concern of the White House, 52 percent of Democrats think the federal government has done too little to blunt the impacts of the coronavirus, while only 40 percent of Republicans believe that.
There is clear polarization in America.
The Wuhan Virus split we see here is similar to the divisions on policy questions such as gun rights and abortion.
As American becomes more politicized on cultural issues, this partisan gulf will only widen.
