Talk about comeback stories! Shelley Luther, the former Dallas salon owner jailed after reopening her salon during the COVID-19 pandemic, has won a Texas state house seat in District 62 – dramatically won.
Shelley broke the quarantine in April 2020 to save her business and feed her children.
Dallas officials served her with a citation. She ripped it up at a rally. Luther said at the time, “We have a right to run a business and feed our children.”
This is a woman who set a courageous example for her children.
Soon after, an Obama judge sentenced Luther to a week in jail and a $7,000 fine. Luther was fined $1,000 for each day her salon, Salon à la Mode, was open after a court ordered it closed.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott pounced and changed the stay-at-home orders to prevent this from happening again. He made the rule retroactive.
Throwing Texans in jail whose biz’s shut down through no fault of their own is wrong.
I am eliminating jail for violating an order, retroactive to April 2, superseding local orders.
Criminals shouldn’t be released to prevent COVID-19 just to put business owners in their place.

Ken Paxton ordered her released from prison, and she broke down in tears.

Americans came out for her in a powerful way.
The GoFundMe for Shelley Luther has surpassed $500,000. “And that is a statement from regular Americans, hanging on, that this is what matters to us: our lives, our business, and, as a result, our country and the future.” @HeyTammyBruce @IWV on the #JobsReport and #OpenUpAmerica pic.twitter.com/WvQNGO8czR

And, if , God Forbid, something really bad leaks out of a US/Corporate Weapons Lab -something that is airborne and turns your innards to goo- well, then nobody is going to listen. I guess you`re all programming your own final solution.
Isn’t it about time for your next booster?
I know better; but you took it, right? I know that rapidly mutating viruses cannot be vaccnated. However, I also know that your government is using your money ( giving it to corporations) to play Bio-warfare Games. And, when their labs suffer leaks; because they
re corporate garbage run on the cheap for profit, then what will happen? Youll all be screaming about your lawnmower Jobs; while your insides turn to goo and you infect your own Children.Come on People … I know you`re all Dumb; but Really. Viruses are Real. Covid was only a Warning. Much Worse is out there waiting to escape! You just cannot stick your heads in the Sand! The Clock is Ticking!

WRONG … Corona/Covid 19 Virus was taken, as a specimen, from Bat Corona Viruses that Humans Cannot Catch. They weaponized this virus in a Lab to make it Contagious, by Airborne Route, to Humans. This is why they were so Afraid. They did not know, in the beginning, how dangerous this LAB leak would be, Really.
Now, they got “Hundreds of Corporate Bioweapons labs” ( Ask Russia) out there Weaponizing on the Cheap; because Profit is their God.
Can you people not see the Accidents on the Horizon?
Blind? Biblical Blindness?
