Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer compared the COVID-19 battle to World War II and asked: “In World War II, there weren’t people lining up at the capitol to protest the fact that they had to drop everything they were doing and build planes or tanks, or to ration food.” Does anyone want to tell Whitmer the difference is during the war effort people were working and getting paid; but under her unilateral decrees people are forbidden from working and no-one is earning a living…. Which is the entire reason for the protests, DUH.

Typical democrat. Completely clueless about history. During WWII, no one had to stay in their home and not travel. If travel was restricted, it was because gasoline was rationed as was rubber used for tires. Sugar was also rationed. Going through my grandparents home after their deaths, I found a couple of ration books along with baking recipes that did not call for sugar.

Maybe the scale of the difference eludes her. World wide, we've had something just over 100,000 deaths in about four months. During WWII, that was the average number of deaths every four days.

No they didn't protest, although they knew the war, a just war, would likely (and did) cost one-half million of their sons their lives. Just like they wouldn't protest the governor allowing them to work and restart our economy, even though they recognize the inevitable (although far less than the "experts" predict) number of seasonal flu deaths that might follow. Get it, Governor? Think really hard, even if it makes your head hurt.

i am posting this comment as carefully as possible. follow me here. I read an article, some time ago, about modern sex dolls., The dolls, which cost about five thousand dollars, are almost lifelike,and the customer can specify various characteristics - height, hair color, hair/no hair on the secret garden, skin color, eye color, breast size, and so forth. The article included photos of the sex dollos. They are eerily almost human. governor whitmer looks to me like a peculiar custom order, paid for by a guy with odd tastes. she is eerily almost human.

During WWII, most democrats didn't openly hate their own country and its people. Yes, some were pulling for the communists in the 1940s but many democrats, particularly in the South, were simply liberal in their political orientation, not raging leftists.

They still had jobs, they were paid for those jobs, and they were patriotic citizens contributing to the war effort to defeat the Japanese and Hitler. While you governor Jackboots are a tyrannical, unconstitutional little mental runt who proves every day that you have no clue. You make Creepy Joe look like Einstein right now.

Uh... maybe because people were trying to preserve our country. Homes had gold stars hanging in the window, families all had loved ones gone for years or gone forever. People at home rationed food, collected rubber and metal. Women replaced men in factories to survive. Same American spirit.

Many people, noting that recently some of the stores have been out or short of helium, blamed the low supply of the gas... ...Nevertheless, the story brought to light the fact that helium is currently being rationed.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
