I just happened to be in the Whitmer's neighborhood Today and visited the "Gridlock". There were thousands of vehicles, from cars to semi's. Horns honking constantly. I think Whitmer was upset because it seemed like a Trump rally with all of the Trump signs. I took pictures and videos. I will post the photos only because I don't know how to post videos. I took the videos with an Iphone and transferred them to a computer. Perhaps X knows a way to post them.

Everyone was in a good mood and some wore masks while many others didn't. So we all know if anyone gets so much as a hangnail, Whitmer will blame the Gridlock rally goers. Most people were stuck in their vehicles and never got to the Capital but I managed to weasel my way downtown by driving the wrong way on a one way street that nobody was using at the time. The main roads to the Capital were packed. Those are Michigan Ave, Capital Ave and Washington Ave. I have pictures of all, including the freeway. I'll post some here and some in the comment section. X, please let me know how to post videos.

Excellent photos, Willy!  Was Whitler in the wHithouse at the time?

I agree totally FS, excellent pics. and views Willy, very impressive and enlightening thread. Whitless is on the ropes now, and the lines were back 40 miles to Brighton I understand. Great attendance numbers. I esp. liked of course all the flags and parade floats, but that red boat behind the Chevy truck, WOW!

Thanks Aquaman. I was going to follow the Gridlock back as far as it went but didn't want to get stuck in traffic trying to get back. It's nice having family in town knowing where to find the easiest route. We were able to slither in and out of the Gridlock and made our way to the Capital twice.

Thanks FS. I heard reports that she commented on all the people not wearing masks and she expected a lot of people getting sick so I'm assuming she was watching out the window. Isn't it nice she is so concerned. She doesn't want us sick but starving to death and going bankrupt is perfectly OK.

I would think if whitler has any good conscience for really serving the people that this rally would start making her think just a little. It was even reported on liberal PBS tonight, and it was on Fox by 1 p.m. How was traffic coming home, Willy?

There is definitely something wrong with her. She is so consumed with the lust for power and the VP job that she ignores the people who pays her salary and picks up her rent. So what's new. She's a politician. I'm staying in Lansing for a while visiting family and thanks to Gretchen I'm unemployed so I've got lot's of time on my hands.

Thanks for the live report, Willy. Maybe you can get a face-to-face meeting with Whitner while you are there, if you don't get a ticket for violating non-essential travel order (ha ha)! Any idea of the total number of attendees, or cars, etc. today?

From the limited amount that I observed and that was far from the total, I would say 5,000 to 10,000 that I saw, and each vehicle averaged at least 3 people and many more were full. So it's possible there could have been 40,000 or 50,000 people. There were streets feeding the packed main thruways and if the freeway was backed up as far as Howell, who knows how many people were involved. There could have been 100,000 people.

Willy.

Excellent job. Best photos and report I have seen covering this event.

I've found the easiest way to post videos on the Ludington Torch platform is to download it on a more user-friendly "You-tube" account first, then use the embed code from You-tube to put it on here.  If you have another video sharing account other than "YouTube" the same should work for most video files.  If you're still having problems, let me know what type of file it is and I might be able to help.

Great on-scene pictures.  Try and get us some more stories from the front lines when you're in that area.
