Is Governor Whitmer’s reign of terror coming to an end?
It seems that way.
She failed to stop a 77-year-old barber from opening up his shop in a bid to save his livelihood and family.

The county sheriff announced that he would not use his manpower to shut down the business.
Later, a judge also ruled in the barber’s favor.
Now, that very same sheriff has just announced that he will not enforce Whitmer’s “lockdown orders” that have been extended until the end of May.
Shiawassee County Sheriff Brian BeGole said in a written statement that he decided to share his office’s position on the governor’s executive orders after receiving “many calls” from local residents and businesses on the matter and “especially since the Michigan Legislature did not extend the state of emergency beyond April 30 as required by law.”
“The legality of that is a judicial branch determination,” BeGole said, noting his office’s “responsibility to serve and protect the citizens of Shiawassee County and to ensure their rights as described in both state and federal Constitution.”
“With limited resources, staffing and facilities, our priority focus will be on enforcing duly passed laws for the protection of Shiawassee County citizens,” he added. “I have decided, within my authority, that our office cannot and will not divert our primary resources and efforts towards enforcement of Governor Whitmer’s executive orders.”
The move comes about a week after two county sheriffs in Arizona said they would not enforce Gov. Doug Ducey’s (R-Ariz.) stay-at-home order, citing the Constitution, and days after a California sheriff said he would not enforce similar coronavirus measures in the state because it was “time to get back opening up.”
This move comes after Governor Hitler-Whitmer threatened citizens of Michigan, by reminding everyone that the “state” grants business licenses, and they should listen to the “state.”

Thankfully, the American people are still fighters and are willing to stand up against a tyrannical government that our founding fathers warned us about.
