Like many Americans, I watched with interest as the “No Kings” spectacle unfolded. It was rather like a box of Monty Python's chocolates. I had no idea what I was going to get, but I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like it much. In this, at least, I was not disappointed. So, what, exactly, did this crunchy frog of a “No Kings” thing accomplish? We haven’t had any kings since the day we declared our independence. And before I had my coffee made this morning, I was deeply concerned, so I checked. Turns out, we still don’t. So,...

A week on the road for your currently sober drunk host a week in the heartland visiting eateries like "Culvers" and "Pizza Ranch" synonymous with 'fly over country' as El Rushbo used to describe it... Those were big songs back in 1971 played by a local disc jockey whose remote broadcasts I used to hang out at. I was 11 years old. That guy used to get me involved in his remotes keeping track of that lengthy playlist of songs played from the radio station... "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow...

In a bizarre display of intergenerational opportunism, Medicare Supplemental Insurance salesman Jerry Jenkins has been raking in the dough by targeting the unlikeliest of demographics: Baby Boomers participating in the No Kings Day protests against Trump's alleged authoritarianism. Yes, you read that right-Boomers, armed with inflatable unicorns and "America Has No Kings" signs, are storming the streets, and Jenkins is right behind them, clipboard in hand. "I mean, who better to sell to than people already primed to trust the government?" Jenkins mused, adjusting his plaid suit. "They're like, 'We need to protect democracy-oh, and also my Medicare benefits!' I'm...

Ahead of this weekend’s nationwide “No Kings” rallies, Joe Rogan claimed that protesters across the country were either “losers,” actors paid by liberal billionaire George Soros or undercover federal agents. On Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the popular podcast host echoed an unfounded conspiracy theory pushed by President Donald Trump and his GOP allies about protesters that dates back several years. “All those people that are protesting on the streets, 99% of them are losers,” Rogan said while puffing a cigar. “The other ones work for the Fed. It’s FBI agents and losers, that’s all it is.” Rogan...

Trump posts wild AI video showing him flying fighter jet, dropping sewage on No Kings protesters President Trump took a massive dump on his adversaries. The president posted a wild AI-generated video of himself late Saturday as a fighter pilot wearing a crown on his head, unloading sewage on “No Kings” protesters. With “Danger Zone,” the iconic “Top Gun” theme song, blaring in the background, Trump’s fighter jet was shown dropping masses of manure on demonstrators over what appeared to be New York City.

Protestors showed up at the “No Kings” rally in cities across the nation with signs claiming that President Donald Trump acts like a king. In some locations, protesters carried signs reading "Kings Get Guillotines."

VIDEOThe "No Kings" protest yielded multiple examples of it being an enormous Clownshow starting with its basic concept. If we really had a king then how were they able to conduct multiple protests nationwide? Also none of them seem to remember the reign of King Joe the Somnolent when it was decreed that NONE shall oppose him in the primary elections plus how his designated successor, Border Czar Kamala, was chosen, with no opposition, by unanimous acclaim by the DNC regency.As you can see, many of the No Kings shmoes don't even know why they oppose Trump. They just know...

Connecticut State Senator Saud Anwar (D) who is also a doctor and is from Pakistan, held up this sign at the no kings protest appearing to suggest he hopes Trump gets sick and dies Absolutely disgusting post for a sitting government official and doctor no less! Any comment @CTDems??

JUST IN: 'TeamTrump' trolls the 'No Kings' protests on Instagram by sharing an AI video of President Trump dressed like a king in front of the White House with Andrea Bocelli music playing. The video amassed 34,000 likes in just 30 minutes.

MADISON, Wis. -- Madison police said an estimated 15,000 people attended Saturday's "No Kings" protest downtown. The group gathered at McPike Park at around 2 p.m. then marched up East Washington Ave. to the Wisconsin State Capitol. Police said the march was briefly rerouted after a K9 indicated the possible presence of explosives in a vehicle on West Washington Ave. near the Capitol. The vehicle was investigated and no explosives were found. There were no reported arrests as of 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Shame is rapidly becoming a thing of the past in America. But even though the conscience of a nation dies, sometimes things get so bad that shame creeps up again and makes you wish you were a citizen of a different country. Such an example is found on X about a school board in a California school district. Although it’s not much fun or very entertaining to watch, this is the video in which the school board is being questioned by what seems to be a parent. This writer thought at one time that I had seen it all. I...

Bill Nye warned No Kings protesters they are facing a possible “end of our republic” thanks to President Donald Trump and his “group of confederates.” Nye was one of the speakers at a Washington, D.C. No Kings rally. The former host of the educational series Bill Nye the Science Guy received big applause from the crowd when he was introduced at the anti-Trump event, and he went on to accuse the current administration of not accepting “scientific fact.” “We are confronting the possible end to our republic,” Nye told the crowd.

And the very people who supported Biden’s authoritarian regime are the very same ones protesting. Teachers’ unions, Federal workers unions, the ACLU, atheists, progressives, pro-abortion activists, socialists, climate change activists, etc. The list goes on and on. The No Kings Day organizers even have their own website , with various tools to promote social unrest, and numerous progressive organizations are funding these protests. Here are images of some of their “partners” - a more complete list is linked here.The list of funders is a “who’s who” of progressive, social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion NGOs. One of the main funders...

No Kings, No Secrets The Dark Money Behind America’s “Grassroots” Protests This weekend, millions are expected to flood the streets chanting “No Kings, No Secrets” in what’s being sold as a grassroots rebellion against authoritarianism. But peel back the curtain, and you’ll find a different story: one of dark money elite networks and carefully coordinated narratives. This isn’t the voice of the people; it’s a well-funded operation designed to shape perceptions and control outcomes. Amid the orchestrated chants of No Kings No Secrets there is zero excitement for this demonic cause. What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead...

… “I don’t have a lot of faith in the Democrats right now,” Alex, a construction worker who traveled to Washington from northern Virginia on Saturday and declined to provide his last name, told NBC News. “They don’t have — they don’t seem to have a lot of spine or a single message. They’re just too disorganized to put up a good fight against this bulls---.” “It pains me to say it, but Trump’s goons are f-----g organized compared to the Dems right now,” he added. Clark Furey, 40, who lives in Washington, called on elected Democrats to “throw some...

Can we declare a "No Queens" day?

VIDEODonde estan los Latinos?The most striking thing about the "No Kings" protest in downtown Miami is the almost complete LACK of Latin (Hispanic) folks in a protest composed almost entirely of non-Hispanic whites in a city which is over 70% Latino. This weird demographic situation is made even more stark by the fact that the only Latin person there seems to be the reporter you hear from a leftist Spanish language YouTube Channel. Yes, I'm sure there are probably a handful of Latin people at this protest but they appear to be well hidden among the crowd composed overwhelmingly of...

While organizers have not released details on fundraising ahead of the protests, and the coalition has remained relatively decentralized, a few groups have indicated either heavy spending to promote the rallies or planned star power to increase buzz around them. For instance, Home of the Brave, a political group, said Monday it was spending $1 million to advertise the No Kings protests, including in local and national newspapers.

"Friday is a perfect day to indict Schifty!" —Svetlana Lokhova. Tomorrow [today], Saturday, October 18, you might have heard, is this year’s culminating “No Kings” protest demo all over the land. We’ve been to a couple of these curious spectacles since springtime here in the Hudson River Valley, in the next town over. The crowd there was just about entirely made up of aging Boomers, joyfully re-living the halcyon days of the Vietnam protests. It was kind of like a street production of the old Broadway hit Hair, only with a cast of 75-year-olds. Let the sun shine in! But...
