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,...

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...

NEW YORK, N.Y. — At least 100,000 people descended upon New York City’s Times Square on Saturday for a "No Kings" protest, and Fox News Digital spoke to more than half a dozen of them about why they took to the streets to rally against President Trump. "Because I'm an American, and I learned from history, unlike a lot of other people in this country. History repeats itself," a man named Ed told Fox News Digital when asked why he joined the rally. "People don't seem to understand that, and we're going down a slippery slope, probably halfway down there...

This Saturday, mutants from coast to coast will assemble outside the basements and Pokémon clubs for the first time…since the last time this coalition of unlovable virgins and elderly, unliked parents gathered together to fool themselves into thinking they might not die alone and be eaten by a pet or a swarm of rats living under the hoarded mementos they haven’t been able to throw out since they peaked in high school. If that sounds cruel, good. These people have wasted more Saturdays this year than they’ve had visits from family or friends in the last ten. But they’re getting...

Demonstrators will once again take to the streets for “No Kings Day,” a nationwide series of protests against the Trump administration, on Oct. 18. While protests against President Trump have not been uncommon since his first term, “No Kings Day” kicked off on June 14. These gatherings were organized in response to the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade in Washington, D.C., which coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday. Across the country, 2,000 “No Kings” protests are scheduled for next Saturday, according to a post from the Indivisible project. There are plans in major cities like Los Angeles; Boston; Washington; Chicago;...

Three activists stripped to their underwear during a Maine school board meeting this week in protest of the district’s policy allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s sports. The morally-tinged burlesque show, spearheaded by local activist Nick Blanchard, unfolded in Augusta on Wednesday in front of the city’s school board members, according to the outlet Central Maine. Two women and a man slowly and perfunctorily took off their clothes at the close of Augusta School Department meeting as Blanchard, who goes by the name “Corn Pop,” delivered an impassioned monologue. “I’m about to show you guys how uncomfortable it is...

At least 24 people were killed and 47 wounded while protesting against Myanmar's military government after an army motorised paraglider dropped two bombs on the crowd, a spokesperson for the government-in-exile told BBC Burmese. The military attacked on Monday evening as around 100 people gathered in Chaung U township in central Myanmar for a national holiday. Thousands have died and millions have been displaced since a military coup in 2021, which triggered a civil war with armed resistance groups and ethnic militias. After losing control of more than half the country, the army is making significant gains again, through an...

U.S. Catholic Bishops Warn of the Greatest Threat We Face: IslamophobiaTalk about poor timing! On the same day that news broke of an Islamist attack on a Catholic Parish in the Congo that left 64 dead and many wounded, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published a 15-page booklet, “Islamophobia: A Guide for U.S. Catholics on Anti-Muslim Bigotry.”The purpose of the booklet is to warn Catholics about “the rising tide of anti-Muslim sentiment.” I’m not aware of any “rising tide” of anti-Muslim bigotry in the U.S., but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a rising tide of anti-Muslim...

Local California women’s rights activist Beth Bourne protested the policy allowing transgender students access to girls’ locker rooms by stripping down to a bikini at a local school board meeting.

So Emerson, Holmes, Harper Junior High. Right now, we...

Although the winter 2022 truckers’ protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s punitive vaccine mandates shook Canada down to its mukluks, it no longer dominates the headlines. Still, it remains in public consciousness. Prominent protest members were recently convicted or are still on trial. Its implications are still with us, and its long-term effects may well be seismic. The Freedom Convoy traversed the country from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to the nation’s capital in Ottawa to protest the biggest experiment ever in authoritarian rule over Canadians—COVID lockdowns and, particularly, the vaccines. The truckers and their fellow convoy travelers demanded the attention...

The Hidden Plan and the Power of Symbols — How the Elite’s Vision Meets the People’s Resistance For decades, a vision has quietly shaped much of the Western world’s political landscape — a vision crafted and advanced by an elite group of powerful individuals. These men, often embedded within influential institutions and organizations promoting bold agendas to end poverty, combat climate change, and build a “better” future, are not villains in secret bunkers but public figures united by shared beliefs. They believe sincerely that they are guiding humanity toward a necessary transformation, one that demands sacrifice and a reordering of...

On Saturday, the beleaguered British people, tired of abuse from their own government, rose up in peaceful, patriotic protest on a never-before-seen scale. Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure...

A London march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson drew more than 110,000 people and became unruly on Saturday as a small group of his supporters clashed with police officers who were separating them from counterprotesters. Several officers were punched, kicked and struck by bottles tossed by people at the fringes of the "Unite the Kingdom" rally, Metropolitan Police said. Reinforcements with helmets and riot shields were deployed to support the 1,000-plus officers on duty. Twenty six police officers were injured — four who were seriously hurt, including broken teeth and a concussion, a possible broken nose and a spinal...

Great speech by Eva at the London demonstration today. Called on the British patriots there to think of English patron Saint the legendary Saint George and fight to rescue their land from foreign invaders.

Aerial footage shows a crowd of tens of thousands of people marching through central London on Saturday in a protest organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson. The Metropolitan police believe about 110,000 people attended his ‘unite the kingdom’ demonstration and about 5,000 a Stand Up to Racism counter-march

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight. What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause. This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back". That means different things to different people. Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket,...

Elon Musk has now appeared via video at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march led by Tommy Robinson, telling the crowd that ‘the left are the party of murder’ in a reference to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The X owner said that there was something ‘beautiful’ about being British, adding: ‘There is so much violence on the left, with our friend Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. ‘The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing...
