From the police state of Michigan comes this guest post from quiller who is living under the iron thumb of Frau Whitmer.

OVERKILL IS KILLING US
by quiller

Leave it to a brain-dead publicity-crazy Democrat to find a way to send
us home and then deny us things to do once we get there.

That’s Michigan’s governor, the freedom-challenged Gretchen Whitmer,
threatening $1,000 fines to any business owner daring to violate an
increasingly bizarre list of things we cannot do in free America.

State attorney general Dana Nessel wants employees of “nonessential”
businesses to call the cops on their bosses, if they even SUSPECT a
violation. 911 had ENOUGH problems with normal run-of-the-mill stuff.
People missing pizza items. Donald Trump poisoning their dog. The usual.

Anyone who golfs? Fuhgeddaboudit. All that open air is hazardous to our
collective health. One sneeze at the ninth hole and every duffer chasing
waitresses at the clubhouse bar will instantly contract the disease and
die before making it to their car after the bar closes. (The serious
golfers aren’t crazy about it either.)

Selling furniture? Can’t sell it, Madame No assures us. And don’t even
think of going into a restaurant or a bar if the kitchen doesn’t have
enough clearance room for the staff. (This shut down a place in my town
with a busy drive-through setup, ensuring no income).

Ya say ya wanna lay down carpet or tile or other flooring, maybe paint a
room or three, with all that time off? Stay out of the home improvement
places. Or the places selling plants. I repeat — plants.

Detroit News columnist Ingrid Jacques says greenhouses and gardening
centers are a $580 million to $700 million business with 9,000 employees.

Governor Halfbaked thinks you’re a risk just going to buy that pot of
poseys, much less get out on your yard to stuff it into a hole. This
insane desire to beautify your property shall not be tolerated, comrade!
It is obviously a sign you intend to infect every living creature for
ten blocks in all directions. Confess now and avoid the rush! (As for
the other kind of potted plant, couch potatoes can still buy medicinal
marijuana, and in some cases now recreational as well. Not that you’d be
out mowing lawns after a few blunts of Mango Tango Jockawocka.) Speaking
of….

If you’re elderly and hired people to mow your lawn? Whitmer has closed
lawn services as well. That’s a windfall in fines awaiting: Democrats
don’t care WHY you violated their maximum-grass-height rules, it’s just
a new revenue-enhancer possibly replacing speed traps for cars no longer
out driving around. Watch some Democrat jackass want to fine kids who
mow lawns also.

Ingrid Jacques again:

“Three weeks into the first stay-home order, however, Whitmer has had
time to hear feedback and make adjustments. Even the federal
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency guidelines, on which
the governor modeled her initial order, have changed and broadened to
include a wider swath of “essential” workers.

“Yet Whitmer hasn’t budged. She would rather be obeyed than compromise.

“Jordan Ballor, a senior research fellow at the Acton Institute,
recently wrote about how Whitmer should open Michigan golf courses as
other states like Ohio have done, while adhering to safety precautions.
As he noted, “While it cannot be argued that recreational activities
such as golf are ‘critical infrastructure,’ a uniform approach to all
non-essential services risks backlash and creates unnecessary harms,
economic and otherwise.”

The newest stay-home extension ends April 30. I’m already hearing of
plans for (and please excuse the direct quote) a May 1 Fuck Whitmer Day.

Maybe a few thousand voters between Mother Fungus and the exit might get
her attention.
