The No Kings movement has announced a nationwide event on 14 June, directly counter-programming Donald Trump’s 80th birthday celebrations and a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bout on the south lawn of the White House.
The centerpiece is a 90-minute concert at New York’s Town Hall featuring entertainer Bette Midler, songwriter Patti Smith, actor Jane Fonda, musician Rufus Wainwright and commentator Joy Reid – streaming free nationwide, while local groups host watch parties across the country. The event is co-presented by the Committee for the First Amendment, a coalition of artists and cultural figures, and frames the US’s 250th anniversary as a moment of democratic reckoning.
The plans put two very different visions for the occasion in direct competition.
The US president is billing UFC Freedom 250 as a historic national celebration: a star-spangled octagon arena on the south lawn of the White House, with 4,000 ticketed guests, and a fan festival on the Ellipse expected to draw up to 100,000 people. The weigh-ins are reportedly set to take place at the Lincoln Memorial.
Trump has claimed that demand for tickets, for an event which will feature a title fight between the lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and the interim champion Justin Gaethje, has been unlike anything he has seen. The White House spokesperson Davis Ingle called it “one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history”.

The only wannabe kings I see are the lefties.
The pay must not be good enough for sprungsteen to show.
They’re doing yet another no kings thing?
I often wonder, is there any self awareness or critical thinking among certain people?
If Trump were truly a king or some sort of dictator , they would not be able to freely have no kings protests.
I know it’s a cliche but try doing such a protest in North Korea, and see what happens to you. Some of these people have no appreciation for the freedoms they enjoy, that these very freedoms that allow them to do a protest are not found in many parts of the world.
Trump should wear a crown and a robe to the WWE event.
What’s up with da ho, Mikie Sherrill, commie liberals with the Palestinian and the Hamass pizza place hats rioting for illegal alien knuckle draggers who don’t eat maggots?

HOW MUCH DOES PAID PROTEST/CROWD-ON-DEMAND SERVICE COST?

Publicly reported numbers point to a wide range. Media interviews with a crowd-rental CEO describe individual participant compensation in the low hundreds of dollars per person—often $100–$300 for simple roles, with higher pay for longer hours, bad weather, or early morning calls. Request volume, especially in Washington, D.C., has spiked during high-stakes political moments, which can drive prices higher during peak periods.
What’s with the far left pronounees obsession with Kings? These scumbags were pizza place tablecloth hats worn by the “Kings” of the desert sands and muzzies.
I used to think the Code Pink people were the biggest douchebags populating the American Left, and that is saying a lot.
Then for a period of time, it was the Bernie Sanders supporters, especially the ones that drove $85,000 pickup trucks and lived in high end expensive properties.
I have settled on the “No Kings” (they are the human end of the “Indivisible” organization) as the biggest bunch of mentally defective, obnoxious, and anti-American rats that now inhabit the Left.
it is very strange, because these brainless extremists without two brain cells to rub together now fully exemplify the Democrat Party.
Astonishing, but true. And I have a good deal of personal experience with these stinking vermin.
So Charles won’t be attending?
Celebrating 250 years of No Kings on July 4.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
“ Celebrating 250 years of No Kings on July 4.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
This would make a great demonstration sign.
Even MORE of the “no kings” crap? These people are so tiresomely pathetic.
“obsession with Kings”
They FINALLY got tired of their old “Resist” nonsense and had to move on to something new. It’s always something with these nuts. I cannot imagine living like that.
My wife used to have a good friend who went totally “round the bend” with “Resist.” She kept urging my wife to join up. My very smart wife kept telling her “No, stop asking” but she would not drop it and kept pestering my wife. That ended that friendship of many years. TDS is a real derangement.
Their real obsession is not with “kings” but with illegals, criminals, homeless bums, crime, fraud and horribly degraded public spaces. They just LOVE those things.
Thanks for that. I do agree with you one hundred percent. Most of the crap coming from the far left now has nothing to do with Palestinians or Illegal aliens. It’s their hatred of America and Americans.
Oh boy! A “No Kings” event featuring Jane Fonda, age 88!
Now she is opposing the “Iran war”—i.e. she opposes freedom for the Iranian people and she supports nukes for the mullah regime! She should talk to Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion of Iranian women.

So much for Jane Fonda’s “feminism”, and for her wisdom at age 88!
During the US’s 250th anniversary celebrations is a disgraceful time to “protest”. I wish they’d take their hate somewhere else.
Absolutely none.
Bette Midler, songwriter Patti Smith, actor Jane Fonda, musician Rufus Wainwright and commentator Joy Reid – screaming free nationwide, while local groups host witch parties across the country.
No Kings is mostly retired teachers union members and cat ladies.
All collecting their payments for showing up.
