Do you know where Governor Whitmer is spending her weekend?

The images coming out of Afghanistan are simply unbelievable.
Whether you have been with us for weeks or years, you know that Freedom is our North Star.
We are eternally thankful to the men and women who serve in our armed forces, who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our security and our liberty.
We grieve with the families of those who lost loved ones in Afghanistan this week.
And we wait with quiet anticipation with those who are still waiting for their friends and loved ones to safely return home.
Join us in praying for the families of those who lost loved ones, for our soldiers, stranded Americans, and the many innocent people still in harm’s way.

The second was a message that 13 American service members were killed at an entrance to that same airport in a suicide bombing attack. “It was immediate sense of relief and then sense of just absolute crushing, heartbreaking grief,” said Meijer, who knew the unit killed in the attack.

Don’t look now, but high-profile members of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration are hinting that they’re considering sweeping new restrictions and more unilateral COVID orders here in Michigan. Just don’t expect Whitmer to offer any actual science or data if they come. Trust is easy to forfeit and tough to regain. That’s a lesson Whitmer seems to be learning the hard way, as voters, parents and families stand up and speak out in greater numbers against onerous and sweeping new mandates that might spill out of the executive office.
