No Kings Protests

So . . .Charles III, King of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales is here in the USA on an official state visit. Mind you, he is an actual monarch, coronated and anointed (really . .with oil blessed by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury) and sitting on the throne of Edward the First.

He addressed a joint session congress and hey even gave him a dinner. Oddly he was well received by b both House and Senate Democrats . .with standing ovations and cheers.

So where were all the "No Kings" Protests from weeks past?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you’re a silly person

They’re in the UK, talking shit about Trump.

Even King Charles threw shade several times during his speech.


Most prominently is that the American government has 3 branches of government, separate but equal.

But where were the people in the streets protesting the actual KING?

And all the Democrats present stood up, clapped and cheered . . .for a REAL King.

But they cannot and will not similarly honor an American veteran as he receives the Purple Heart or the Medal of honor.

None of this is "silly".

We know these people for who they are by what they do and what they do not do.

We know them for who they are by what they stand for . . . figuratively and literally.

Completely missing the point.


No Kings refers to no kings for America.


Will Trump stoop so low as to respond to King Charles comments about his leadership ? Maybe a few insults, or even some name calling ?

we're ok with actual kings..

The argument is that Democrats applauding a visiting head of state at a formal diplomatic occasion reveals their secret monarchist tendencies. Right.

Perhaps worth noting that the same movement spent four years watching their leader lavish praise on actual monarchs and dictators with considerably more enthusiasm than anyone showed King Charles — curtsying to Saudi royalty, declaring he "fell in love" with Kim Jong Un, and rolling out the red carpet for Mohammed bin Salman. The bar for outrage is apparently quite specifically calibrated.

The claim that Democrats won't honor veterans receiving the Purple Heart or Medal of Honor is stated with remarkable confidence for someone who hasn't produced a single example. One would do. Any one at all.

This is the level of analysis on offer — seating arrangements at a state dinner and applause patterns as windows into the soul of an entire political party. It would be uncharitable to call it shallow. Let's call it decorative.

People are indeed known by what they do and what they stand for. That standard has the considerable advantage of applying equally in all directions. Literally and figuratively

There was more silence for other guests of note . . .why do I bother?

The progressive left won't stand (literally!) to honor or even acknowledge our veterans as they are awarded a medal for their service. That alone goes far to demonstrate who they are.

What will they stand for? King Charles . . .sure that's an easy one. Would they stand to acknowledge the still grieving parents of a murdered child . . .again, only seated silence from the left.


That is how I see it.

Now, someone tell us all just what the Dem ocrats in Congress actually stand for, both literally and figuratively.

You continue to rant and it’s not getting any more sensible.

That is how I see it.

Here ya go... meet Navy pilot Captain Royce Williams:




And here is US Army Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover:




Both medals were awarded during SOTU address on Feb. 24, 2026.

All the applause came from one side of the chamber.

Guess which one?

^^Trump has a way of wrecking anything bipartisan, the exact opposite to Obama. i'd bet there's more to this story than meets the eye.

"If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support... First duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."

I found it interesting that London ‘supposedly’ had 11,000 protesters for a No Kings rally against a country without a king, while IN a country WITH A KING!!!

And this one is bouncing around from various folks, a great recap, and much better one than I can do from Yogi on X. It’s long, but worth it...


No Kings explained for people who think they’re fighting fascism. You’re standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You’re holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits.

A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left’s definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who’s voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That’s the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler’s entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don’t hate kings. You hate kings that aren’t yours.

And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you’re a citizen before you vote? That’s oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That’s how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove “humor and satire.” They literally went after people for making fun of them.

UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn’t stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children’s identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao’s Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn’t hold your dying mother’s hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: “I never felt unsafe.” “The experience changed me.” Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday. Their stated purpose in their own words: “Revolution.” Not reform. Marxism. The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent. You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing. “Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind.” Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.

Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over. Today his own party would call him a fascist. The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth. The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote. The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.

Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here’s who checks the boxes in 2026:

Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.

Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.

Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.

State ideology forced on families. Democrats.

Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.

Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.

Cult of personality. Both sides.

Ultranationalism. Republicans.

Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.

You marched against kings on Saturday. You marched FOR kings.

You just didn’t know which was which. Stop being gaslit. I hope you understand what’s at stake.


About the only thing Yogi didn’t mention was the Soros connection, but that is well known. Well done, sir! WELL DONE!!!

^^so you're saying that we should all be grateful that we haven't been sent to the gulag (yet) and that journalism is still legal..

understood..

Naaahh... I just think it may be time for Dems to change their messaging.

What is all this mindless talk about trump being a fascist and a threat to democracy supposed to accomplish? More assassination attempts?

How is democracy strengthened by hyperbolic rhetoric ("we haven't seen the gulag yet") that keeps spawning violent attacks on a democratically-elected POTUS?

No irony there (cough, cough).
