A Michigan barber, who reopened his shop last week in defiance of Gov. Gretchen Whitmers coronavirus lockdown order, said on Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday that the governor obviously got a little bit mad when she kept extending the states stay-at-home order.
Karl Manke, 77, said that when Whitmer signed an executive order last week to extend the states stay-at-home order through the end of May for nonessential workers, it just absolutely brought me to my knees.
He said he just couldn't stay closed since he is a small business owner.

The cool thing about these government bureaucrats making all of these decisions and enforcing them, is that they have fixed salaries and guaranteed jobs.
“.....Gov. Whitmer has ‘no concept at all, the damage that she’s doing to our state’”
OH SHE KNOWS! She’s doing as she is instructed by the Democrat Party. Sandbag the re opening of the economy at all costs to ruin PDJT’s chances at reelection.
It’d be great if they recalled her.
And they get a regular paycheck.
New Zealands PM and parliament gave up 20% of their salary in a sign of solidarity Who here would do that?
His barber license will be revoked in 5, 4, 3 ,2....
In that, he is mistaken. She knows exactly how much damage she is doing to the State.

Heil Whitmer! (I’m from Michigan.)
Michigan has the highest Case Fatality Rate in the USA.
Perhaps the reason Gov Whitmer is punishing the Michigan residents with her draconian orders is to deflect attention from her gross mismanagement of covid.
If you get infected with covid in Michigan you have a 10% chance of dying from it.
Sure she does. Shes just doing what shes told. Its all democrats on board to get rid of Trump by any means necessary, even to hurt the American people and collapse the US economy. Remember the Obozos Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuels words: never let a tragedy go to waste! In this case, its looking more and more like it has all been orchestrated. Evil rules the day!
Whats more, she doesnt care.
This is just sooooo cynical.
(I would wager that it's correct, however.)
Anyone stupid enough to vote for a RAT should be smart enough to accept the consequences.

Thank you for posting this. Reading about Mr. Manke would make any one proud, regardless of generation. Among his entrepreneurial enterprises, and being a barber, he is an award winning author of nine novels. As a client once said about me, “I like the cut of his jib.” Although I live over a thousand miles away, I am sending a check to him for a future haircut in case I am in his neighborhood. I will also be ordering all nine of his works.
Again, thank you for posting. Mr. Manke is an American hero.

No polititician should receive a salary as long as the local state and national economies are shut down.
Who the hell believes they are essential?
nope , just a visit from the Brown Shirts
The new patriots seem to be those in the salon and barber industry. Maybe the wig fitters in 1776 were also.
Great news ..I have to get a haircut tomorrow when it opens.
I had a buddy tell me he has an insider friend who says that is EXACTLY what they’re doing. I said, “No Kidding, Mr. Holmes”. That IS exactly what they’re doing. B@$t@rds
