The COVID years of Big Government telling Americans they had to stay home and wait for the stimulus check, rather than go to work, have come to an end. But bureaucrats both before and after COVID have been preventing business owners from operating their businesses for reasons that are utterly ridiculous.

And it’s really high time Americans seized back their God-given rights to provide for self and family from bureaucrats.

Take a warning: Melony Armstrong’s story is your story. Melony is a Mississippi resident who just wanted to continue and expand her hair braiding business. But state officials put up stumbling blocks.

“I did have to fight the state board of cosmetology here in Mississippi just to braid hair,” Melony says. “The board was requiring me to take hundreds of hours and spend thousands of dollars to get basically a permission slip from them to get to work I thought this was quite ridiculous because braiding was not part of the curriculum of cosmetology.”

Tune in and hear the harrowing tale of her fight. And remember: This could be you.
