19. Wasn't Manske the barber that had the militia patrolling his business to dare

law enforcement to shut him down?

I doubt the state's barbers and beauticians are even a part of this despite what this coalition says.

As an aside, yesterday my son and I went to Home Depot's Garden Center. It was my birthday and he wanted to buy me flowering plants to hang outside on the shepherd's hook. I was afraid to go in. But they had beautiful hanging plants curbside. I quickly chose 3 without me leaving the car. He parked the car, walked into the store and purchased garden shears and the plants.

We didn't expect to find the parking lot to be full, but surprisingly it was very full. It reminded both of us of Black Friday. It looked like everybody and their brother was shopping!

The best thing is: Every person we saw was wearing a mask! I was impressed by that. Not one person was unmasked! Inside the store my son said the same thing: everyone wore a mask! I'm sure there were some who didn't mask up, but we didn't see them.

This is Northern Michigan. This proved to me what I already knew: Michiganders are taking this pandemic seriously, and are supportive of Gov. Whitmer.

These so-called protesters are protesting for their own nefarious and astroturfed reasons. It has nothing to do with our freedoms.
