Governor of Georgia Sues Mayor of Atlanta over facial mask

       Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp explicitly voids mask orders in 15 local ...

A legal battle has been instituted on by Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia (Rep)against the Mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms (Dem) challenging the restrictions imposed by the Atlanta Mayor mandating residents to wear mask to curtail coronavirus infection.

Governor Kemp on Tuesday issued an ordinance banning people from wearing mask. The governor's bone of contention is that the Mayor has no legal footing to issue orders that are more or less restrictive than the one issued by the governor.

The suit also challenged why the Mayor of Atlanta imposed the phase 1 restriction instead of the phase 2 imposed by the governor. Phase 1 requires residents to only leave home for essential trips.

Lets look at the numbers of COVID-19 infection in Georgia. Last week there is an average of 3,100 new cases reported daily in Georgia and a third of the daily infection is in Atlanta area. As the infection rate is increasing the death rate is also increasing daily.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms  claims that she is following the guidance of public health experts, an assertion backed up by a White House coronavirus Report that explicitly recommended Georgia “mandate statewide wearing of cloth face coverings outside the home.

  

Ms. Bottoms said that Governor kemp has overstepped his bounds. She said "We will see him in court"

It is not known why Governor Kemp choose to sue only the Mayor of Atlanta while cities like Savannah and Athens also imposed mandatory face mask like in Atlanta. The lawsuit may be politically motivated.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

Nigeria Central Bank Governor Breached The Quarantine To Fly Family To The UK

                 Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, used a private jet to fly his wife and children to the United Kingdom in violation of the closure of the Nigerian airspace during COVID-19 lockdown across the country. The Nigerian Government had announced that only essential travels will be permitted by air across the country but flight manifest sighted by SaharaReporters shows that  Emefiele used a private jet – a Global Express Bombardier 550 luxury jet with registration number N104DA – belonging to businessman, Aliko Dangote. It costs at least $10,000 per hour – about N3.8m – to fly on this luxury jet.         The flight was operated by Executive Jet Services co-owned by Dangote and Sam Iwajoku – the  same company embroiled in a recent controversy over the violation of the nation’s lockdown  by flying musician, Naira Marley, to Abuja from Lagos to perform at a concert at Jabi Lake Mall.  The jet carried Mrs Margaret Emefiele, his sons – Godwin Pammichukwu Jnr. and

                  We reported on this blog when a rapper August Alsina claimed that he had been in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith and that Will Smith gave his blessing. When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split. On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,
