By Mark | June 28, 2020

As you can see in the above graph from Bridge Magazine, we’re seeing an uptick in new COVID-19 cases here in Michigan since Governor’s Whitmer’s stay-home order was lifted on June 2.

“I don’t take responsibility at all.” -President Donald Trump

When asked yesterday about his administration’s inept handling of the coronavirus pandemic, especially as relates to the manufacture and distribution of test kits, Donald Trump responded, “I don’t take responsibility at all,” insinuating that he’d been hamstrung by rules put in place to the Obama administration – a claim, by the way, that has been […]
