Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) was caught violating her own COVID restrictions over the weekend, and immediately received a wave of backlash for her hypocrisy. Whitmer was caught sitting with more than 6 individuals at a dive bar in Lansing, Michigan, which is a direct violation of her own tyrannical edicts.
After getting caught red-handed, Whitmer rolled back the 6-person regulation for bars and restaurants, but other outdated restrictions still remain in place.
Whitmer has rescinded the 6-people-per-table rules that she violated over the weekend. 1 is rescinded immediately (in MIOSHA order.) The other, similar rule in the DHHS order is gone effective June 1. David Eggert (@DavidEggert00) May 24, 2021

The site of the first English colony in America sits largely overshadowed by the famed beaches on the barrier islands that form North Carolinaâs Outer Banks.
In some ways this is fitting, given that the colony on Roanoke Island â explored in 1584 and later settled first in 1585 and then again in 1587 â is called the Lost Colony.
Behind Englandâs venture was Sir Walter Raleigh, who held letters patent from Queen Elizabeth I for a swath of âremote, heathen and barbarousâ land along the Atlantic called Virginia in todayâs North Carolina, Virginia and several other states.
