There was a protest held Saturday, June 14, called “No Kings” across the United States. The No Kings protests (also known as No Kings Day or No Dictators Day/protests) were a series of demonstrations that took place on Saturday, across the country, and the same day of the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade and U.S. President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, in protest of Trump’s policies and actions during his second presidency. It was considered the largest coordinated protests since the start of the Trump administration’s second term. Heck, I even saw 10 protestors in a literal ghost town, Jerome, Arizona, on Saturday (that’s a story for another day). Most had their masks on to prevent the spread of something, not sure what. They were certainly hard to understand. As hot as it was in Arizona, and as much UV as there was present, COVID certainly didn’t stand a chance.
According to Wikipedia, the No Kings protests were aimed at opposing the policies and actions of the Trump administration. Due to the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade coinciding with President Trump’s 79th birthday, anti-Trump activists interpreted the event as an example of Trump using the U.S. Armed Forces to perform an authoritarian or king-like celebration of himself. The protests followed several days of demonstrations against ICE raids across the US, including in Los Angeles, where Trump deployed both the California National Guard and the U.S. Marine Corps.
I always find it interesting when media groups fail to even mention one word of how non-peaceful the ICE demonstrations were, and how law enforcement and private and public property were being attacked and/or destroyed. Nothing to see here, right? Trump just sent the National Guard and Marines in for no reason at all. If you believe that, you’ve been listening to Congresswoman Maxine Waters way too much.
Let’s talk a little bit about hypocrisy with the No Kings group. I’d bet most of these folks were the same people pushing mandates during COVID. A friend shared this on social media and I thought it appropriate to hopefully open the eyes of some the deranged poor souls.
No kings, but put your mask on.
No kings, but lock us down.
No kings, but you’re fired for not vaccinating.
No kings, but you can’t go outside.
No kings, but we don’t except your exemption.
No kings, but you need 12,380 booster shots.
No kings, but we’re shutting down your business.
No kings, but you can’t go worship the REAL KING OF KINGS.
No kings, but your family members will have to die alone.
No kings, but I’m opening a hotline so you can tattle on your neighbor.
No kings, but mandates galore.
No kings, but you’re responsible for my health.
No kings, but we will dictate what medicines are right for you to treat COVID; you and your doctor should not decide what is best for you.
No kings, but social distance at six feet apart.
No kings, but no family gatherings over 10.
Unless it has changed, in the last few days, I believe there are still three branches to our government, established by the Constitution of these great United States, and “NO KING” since we had old George from across the pond. If anyone ever tried to be our king, I promise my signature of declaration against such would be equivalent to John Hancock’s.
