The Dallas salon owner, Shelley Luther, refused to close her salon. She acted in defiance of the tyrannical stay-at-home order in Texas, and now she's to be jailed. Listen to Judge Eric Moye's admonishment to her, and her response, and understand your freedoms are quickly evaporating if not already gone.
Dear Americans trying to do the Let's skip the part where I try to convince you that COVID-19 is just another virus which behaves like the flu. I know that for you, science, discoveries in medicine, and those pesky serology tests are obstacles in your way to exercising a little good old-fashioned tyranny. I shall make no more mention of the silly science word again. So you go ahead. Grab the black grease pencil and get to work making a cropped mustache above your upper lip. America was founded on the idea of freedom. I say idea of freedom because more and more, it does seem like an idea. Maybe even a fantasy. Especially with you people out there, lurking behind your window curtains, probably wearing masks, ready to dial 911 when you see your neighbor doing something the COVID Edicts have deemed verboten. Like allowing small children to play with each other, even in the privacy of a home that isn't yours. So you peck your germ-riddled phone, raise it to your face-mask, get that covered in germs, and report to the police that little Sally and little Sammy are having a play date and my God, send in two cops. As happened in Wisconsin. But it's okay, because even your leaders who have your dog-like obedience are demanding you do the brave and noble thing by ratting out your fellow American. Even in the great state of Texas (according to the people in Texas who scream how great it is), a judgey fraulein commanded her obedient minions — you — to snitch on violators of the business safety protocols. No doubt, while many sane Americans see the dangerous slope, you're all too eager to lather up in KY jelly and swan dive down it. As you may have gathered from my subtle-as-a-falling-acme-anvil references to diligent, snitching citizens sporting well-pressed brown shirts, I'm calling bull-caca on your patriotism. Even if it is a fantasy, freedom is still what America was based upon. If you're willing to throw freedom away under the guise of "doing the right thing" or "doing what's best for people's safety" then you're not a real American at all. But I can think of several other terms for you. Also, as I was writing this very column:
Last I heard, the first case of confirmed WuHuFlu in America was back in November 2019 in Spokane, Washington. The patient traveled to and from Wuhan for reasons I don't think were ever explained. The reasons don't matter. What matters is, knowing what we know now about the degree of infection and how fast Kung Flu spreads, doesn't it stand to reason that more people were infected in November, December, January and February before America started Operation Overreaction? Over in Sweden, a country that didn't run about like headless chickens, is now saying it was possible they too had the rona as early as November. This according to their state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell. According to the UK Daily Mail: Sweden likely had coronavirus cases as early as November last year, the country's virus chief has revealed. Oh. Sweden, though, can actually just shrug and act like all is normal as they go about partnering up to build a MALM dresser. That is, after all, how Ikea wants you to build things: never alone. I see you, frowning pudge man standing looking confused at your Ikea parts silently encouraging me to enlist a poor sap of a friend to build this dumb thing with me. I see you and I feel you judging me. Go eat your meatballs and leave me alone to my alone time. Sweden didn't shutter its doors. It didn't even shutter its border. Sweden, though it encouraged some social distancing (as do I, and not just over a virus), didn't go all in on the absolute dumb of the COVID-PANDEMONIUM. Sweden didn't transform coronavirus into the new cult, rivaled only by Tom Cruise trashing Oprah's couch. Pardon me for citing this old fad of a poster, but Sweden kept calm and carried on. And did just about as well (if not better in some cases) than countries that embodied Chicken Little. It's long past time Americans snapped the heck out of it. Maybe not you, the fabulous person reading this post. But those sheeple making ignorant, novel-length ramblings on Facebook about how masks are the new normal. Those dummies need to snap the heck out of it. The virus was around much longer than we all initially thought, spreading itself like a crack hoo in need of a fix. I'm sorry for the visual but I had to get a slut-shaming joke in there somewhere. You have your normal, I have mine. There's a good chance you may have already had the virus. Or the sheeple making dumb all over social media have already had the virus and not even known it. Let's just get back to normal already. Not the new normal, the normal normal.
We need to shut down our country and our economy to protect our most vulnerable. That's what we heard over and over. Another popular refrain is that if you questioned anything you were told about the Kung Flu (Wuhan Got You All in Check) ever, you hated old people and wanted old people to die. Think about this as you ponder this latest news to come out of New York (see BILL DE BLASIO GETS CALLED OUT FOR BEING A FAILURE IN HANDLING CORONAVIRUS and ANDREW CUOMO TO UNEMPLOYED PROTESTERS: GO BECOME ESSENTIAL). Where the state just found an additional 1,700 people from nursing homes who died or are believed to have died from the coronavirus.

Of course, if not for the pandemic, the left and the media would look for other distractions from Biden being rapey (see ACCUSED RAPIST JOE BIDEN WANTS MORE 'ECONOMIC INTERCOURSE' IN THE WORLD and NYT DELETES TWEET ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE AGAINST JOE BIDEN). Allegedly. Though some lefties are at least being honest about how they feel.
It's sometimes difficult to remember the way the good old days were. When you could find toilet paper. When people could go to places and socialize with other people who went to places. And when snitches got stitches, as opposed to being encouraged to snitch by elected officials (see DE BLASIO ASKED PEOPLE TO SNITCH ON SOCIAL DISTANCING VIOLATERS. HE GOT DICK PICS INSTEAD! and THIS SOCIAL DISTANCING SNITCH IS THE HERO WE DESERVE). The great state of Texas started reopening this weekend. Less-than-great Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo would like to recruit a few good tattletales.
Everywhere I read, everywhere I go (oh yes, I still go), I'm lectured with the message "stay safe, stay home." Of all the obnoxious, patronizing phrases to emerge from the Era of COVID — and there have been many —"stay safe, stay at home" has been the most egregious. How I lead my life is not determined by a committee of flustering busybodies who adhere to unconstitutional decrees made under the guise of "safety." So take your "stay safe, stay home" mantra and shove it up the closest rectum. You've got plenty of toilet paper, it shouldn't be that hard. Some disclaimers for the aforementioned busybody snitches who bridle at the thought someone would dare stray from safety. I'm not encouraging foolish risk for the sake of it. But a life free of risk is both impossible and no life at all. We cannot bubble wrap ourselves and claim to care about our existence. Furthermore, those who demand we conform to their orders for "our safety" are not issuing those orders for our safety at all, but are gauging our degree of compliance. I haven't complied. I won't comply. I still do not own a mask and any business demanding I wear one is a business that doesn't want my patronage. For those hate-pecking their fingers insisting I "want old people to die," may I introduce you to the concept of personal responsibility. The idea is simple, but take notes if you must: assess your risk to reward ratio and make personal decisions for yourself rather than imposing your fears onto the rest of us. So if you're binge-watching CNN and are terrified of the WuHuFlu, then bubble wrap yourself and stay at home with only the digital image of Brian Stelter to comfort you. Lysol all that is to enter your house, including people. Do what you feel you must to "stay safe, stay healthy, and stay home." Fine. Your body, your choice. Just do not tell the rest of us to do the same. By the way, that's probably how this whole "pandemic" should've gone down. Not shutting the world off, just letting people take care of themselves and letting the chips fall where they may. I know, I know, what a heartless heathen I am. I guess "rights" is just a word we throw around to feel American. Anyhoo. COVID-19 is a virus which seems to have about the same fatality rate of the seasonal flu. Sorry to all you science deniers who have your masked-faced heads shoved down sand holes not on public California beaches. For most of us, the seasonal flu is part of life. We're willing to take the risk of contracting the seasonal flu every time we board a plane, enter a building, touch a surface, meet with others, go to work, go to school, and basically live rather average lives. And yet, when 60k people died of seasonal flu, no chyron graphic mourned them. Life, as they say, went on. Most of us drive cars. Knowing that drivers can be distracted, or are just douchebags with a capital D, most of us still strap on our seatbelts and hit the open road. No safety feature can completely protect us from the real risks of driving. And yet, most of us make that choice every single day. Think about how stupid this is: the first endurance horse ride in my area was canceled due to COVID-19. If you give no craps about horses, let me explain so you can fully comprehend the dumb. In endurance riding, 40-50 adults at a time ride horses for a long distance race (25 miles or 50 miles in the example offered). These rides are held in the actual middle of nowhere. No ambulances are present. No doctors on standby except vets. There is zero cell reception. So if Courtney were to fall during the race and her horse went running without her, she is seriously effed. Of all the sports out there, equestrian disciplines rank high on the danger spectrum. And yet a ride was canceled over a fears of a virus so we could all "stay safe." I chose horses knowing they were dangerous. I chose endurance knowing it was dangerous. If I'm willing to risk my body and its safety for a ride, shouldn't I be allowed the same choice when it comes to risking exposure to a virus by, say, going to brunch? And if others are willing to risk exposure to a virus, why can't they make the same choices? Just as they make the choice when they get into a car or take too big a bite of their steak and might choke. Look, life is full of risks. That's the point I'm getting at. We should be allowed to decide, for ourselves, if those risks are worth it to us for the kind of life we want to lead, without government shutting everything down. Without fretting ninnies snitching on us to five oh. Of course, the "stay safe, stay home" cultish mantra isn't about safety at all, it's about controlling your life. It's about setting a new normal, monitoring your behavior, deeming you non-essential, and making you live a different life. Maybe I'll elaborate at another time. If you don't think these government protocols and decrees are overstepping, I'm not sure there's much I can do to convince you they are. By the way, if you use a face mask all the time, just wash it once in a while. You know, for sanitary's sake. I've see how some of you treat your masks, and it's not good. Even if you do bubble wrap yourself and never leave your home, there are health risks of just staying at home! If you want to lead that kind of life of "stay safe, stay at home" that's on you. But we cannot have a world full of gutless ninnies just because others are. Misery only loves company if one is "allowed" to even have company. And again, if you're at risk, or afriad of catching COVID, then YOU need to take the appropriate precautions, not demand the rest of the world shut down. But it isn't up to you, the government, the President of the United States or a board of globalists at the World Health Organization to tell me to "stay safe." It is my choice how safe I want my life to be, my choice to decide what risks I am or am not willing to make, and everyone else can stay the hell out. You have the same rights. What kind of life do you want to lead? May 04, 2020 at 06:32PM - Courtney Kirchoff KIRCHOFF: Stop Telling Me to "Stay Safe" and "Stay at Home"! Click the headline to read the full report at Louder With Crowder If you're like me, you've always questioned the "experts" who predicted a 2.2 million COVID-19 death toll in America. Though the mainstream media continued reporting that social distancing was our only chance at avoiding such a tragedy, my gut led me to believe the "experts" were way off. Steven Crowder offers peace of mind (a.k.a. ammunition the next time someone tries to tell you they trust the experts) by explaining why you questioned the experts.
The scariest part of this whole pandemic (which I want to put in quotation marks) is not the cough itself. Yeah, yeah, it's mostly a bad cough, calm down. No, the scariest part is two fold: how quickly the government went tyrannical, and the degree of complicity from the people. The media, which is supposed to keep powerful people in check by exposing their chicanery, instead of calling out said chicanery, seems to have gone all in on the government power-grab. Tucker Carlson of Fox News discussed both the government going full totalitarian, and media's blessing of it, in the video below:
