NO KINGS – UNLESS THEY’RE YOURS

The No Kings Hypocrisy

“I am president, I am not king.”

That’s not a No Kings sign.  That is Barack Obama, October 25, 2010, explaining why he couldn’t change immigration law on his own.   He said it again on January 30, 2013: “I’m not a king.” Two weeks later: “I’m not the emperor of the United States.”

Then, in January 2014, before a Cabinet meeting: “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone.”

Funny how fast the crown fits when it’s your own head.

That is the No Kings movement in a nutshell.  The left wing radical liberals running it are not against kings. They are against THIS king.  When their side holds the scepter, the protest signs stay in the garage.

Let me walk through it.

Example Number 1. “Not Likely to Pass Constitutional Muster.”

August 2021.  The Supreme Court had already warned the CDC’s eviction moratorium couldn’t be extended without Congress.   On August 2, Jen Psaki put out a statement saying the CDC had been “unable to find legal authority for a new, targeted eviction moratorium.”

The next day, the CDC issued one anyway.

And President Biden told reporters, out loud: “The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster.” But “it’s worth the effort.”

Read that again.  The President admitted the experts thought it probably wasn’t constitutional, and did it anyway.

The Supreme Court struck it down on August 26, 2021.  And Jen Psaki, who announced the CDC couldn’t find the authority?  She now hosts a prime-time show on MS NOW.

Example Number 2. “That Didn’t Stop Me.”

July 28, 2021. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on student loan forgiveness: “People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness.  He does not.”  And: “The president can’t do it.  So that’s not even a discussion.”

Back in February 2021, Chuck Schumer had sponsored a Senate resolution, cosponsored by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, calling on Biden to “take executive action to broadly cancel” up to $50,000 per borrower.

Biden went for roughly $430 billion.  The Supreme Court struck it down in Biden v. Nebraska in June 2023.

His response, in February 2024: “The Supreme Court blocked it. But that didn’t stop me.”

Picture Donald Trump saying that EXACT sentence.

Fast forward to October 2025.  Chuck Schumer marched with the No Kings protest in New York City.  Bernie Sanders spoke at the No Kings rally in Washington, D.C.

Same executive power.  Different president.

Example Number 3. Ignore the Judge.

April 9, 2023.  A federal judge in Texas had suspended the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on CNN and said the Biden administration should ignore the ruling.

IGNORE a federal court.

That is exactly what the No Kings crowd warns Trump will do.

Example Number 4. Rules for Thee.

A king makes the rules and doesn’t live by them.   The COVID years handed us a whole royal court.

April 2020: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told residents that getting your hair done was “not essential,” then got a haircut while salons were closed.  Her defense: “I’m the public face of this city.”

August 2020: Nancy Pelosi got her hair done inside a San Francisco salon when the city wasn’t allowing salons to serve customers indoors.  When the video came out, she called it “clearly a setup” and said the salon owed HER an apology.

November 2020: Gavin Newsom, whose administration was telling Californians to limit gatherings to three households, sat down at the French Laundry in Napa with a table of 12 people from six households.  Afterward he admitted: “I made a bad mistake.”

The same Gavin Newsom who told everyone to join the No Kings marches in October 2025, because “THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.”

Example Number 5. Say What We Tell You.

The No Kings crowd says nobody gets to dictate to anybody.  Then they hand you a list of words you are REQUIRED to say.

Where I stand: Pronouns follow biological sex.  And forcing a man to say something he believes is false isn’t tolerance.  It is compelled speech.

This isn’t hypothetical.  In 2018, Shawnee State University in Ohio put a written warning in philosophy professor Nicholas Meriwether’s file because he would not use female pronouns for a transgender student.  In March 2021, the Sixth Circuit ruled for him: “Shawnee State chose a different route: It punished a professor for his speech on a hotly contested issue.”  In 2022 the university settled.  It paid $400,000 and agreed he would never be required to use pronouns that conflict with a person’s biological sex, while still denying it did anything wrong.

New York City went further.  Its Human Rights Commission says employers, landlords and businesses must use the name and pronouns a person identifies with, including “ze/hir.”  Intentional or repeated refusal can count as harassment, and the city can impose civil penalties of up to $250,000 for willful violations.

Up to $250,000.  Over words.  So much for the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression the left wing radicals scream about as the oppress anyone with whom they disagree with.

That’s not “no kings.”  That’s a king with a style guide.

Example Number 6. Change the Name. Or Else.

July 2, 2020.  Eighty-seven investment firms and shareholders sent letters pressing Nike, FedEx and PepsiCo to cut ties with Washington’s NFL team unless it dropped the Redskins name.  That same day FedEx, which held the stadium naming rights, asked the team to change it, and privately warned its signage would come down if the name stayed.

The team announced a review the next day.  On July 13, 2020, the Redskins name was retired.  In February 2022 it became the Commanders.

Here’s the part that got lost.  In 2016, a Washington Post poll of 504 Native American adults found 9 in 10 said the name did NOT offend them.

Cleveland followed.  MLB’s commissioner had already declared the Chief Wahoo logo “no longer appropriate” in 2018.  On July 23, 2021, the team announced the Indians, a name used since 1915, would become the Guardians.  A name meant to honor not one, not two, but the three first native Americans to play in major league baseball.  History erased by the liberals.

Over a hundred years of history, gone because the people with the money and the microphones decided for everyone else.

Example Number 7. The Camera Problem.

This August, Newsom signed AB 2624.  It shields immigrant-service workers’ addresses and restricts posting their personal information or images, including photos and video, with intent to incite violence or threats.  His side says it’s about doxxing.  Yet he has no problem demanding law enforcement show their full faces during immigration enforcement and responding to riots so he can have them doxxed.  Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio calls it the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” after the independent journalist whose videos alleged fraud at taxpayer-funded programs. Shirley is challenging it in federal court.

When citizen journalists point cameras at taxpayer-funded programs and the answer is a new law about who can be filmed, I notice.  Not to mention, when you are in public, you have ZERO privacy. 

That is not principle.  It is a one-way rule and it is illegal.  It is a direct violation of the Freedom of the Press.  A right specifically created for EXACTLY this type of situation. 

The Bottom Line.

Here’s my test for the left wing radical liberals carrying the signs.  Name ONE time you objected when your own side was giving the orders.

Pen and phone?  Fine.  An eviction ban the President himself doubted was constitutional?  Fine.  Debt cancellation the Supreme Court said he couldn’t do?  Fine.   Ignoring a federal judge? Fine.  Telling you which pronouns to say and what your team gets to be called?  FINE.

Their defenders will say Trump is different.  Then be honest about it.  Your problem isn’t with kings.  Your problem is with who is sitting on the throne.

If you only hate kings when the other team wears the crown, you don’t hate kings.

You just want your own.

America’s Youth is Letting Them Get Away With It

They almost pulled it off.  Almost, but without continued vigilance on our part, they will eventually succeed.

My basic premise, the left wing radicals are not only Socialist Marxists but are extreme anti-American haters who have dumbed down the average American, eliminated standards of education, erased history, and aim to make us all their slaves. 

From the later point of the 1960s the left wing has concentrated efforts of making certain blocks of voters heavily dependent upon the government.  Consider the huge numbers now on the verge of revolt because they lost their food stamps, unemployment, housing assistance, medical benefits, etc., due to the left wing shut down of the government – now going on 22 days. 

Consider the master plan of the national teachers union and federal education department to indoctrinate our children and impressionable young adults with American hating agendas and socialist economic values. 

Consider the recent decision in places like Oregon, Washington, California, and now New Jersey to do away with basic educational standards.

Consider all the people cancelled, doxed, fired, not accepted for employment nor college admissions because they didn’t agree with the left wing radical socialist American hating agendas. 

It is clear, the higher the type of education and the actual measured higher intelligence of a group leads to views and tastes that usually differ.  People of that caliber are less likely to agree on a particular hierarchy of values.  Mostly because, they have life experience, they have work experience, and they have the educational skills to research, ask questions, and think logically and critically.

But the left wing radical anti-Americans know that a high degree of uniformity and similarity can be found when they reach down into the ranks of the population and regions of lower moral and intellectual standards; where the more basic and common instincts and tastes are prominent. 

The left wing radical socialist hating anti-American, the ones you hear everyday, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE, know they will be able to obtain the support of all the docile and gullibles; those without strong convictions; those ready to accept a “ready made” system of “everything is free: busing , education, medical care, housing” just by the continued drumming into the ears loud enough and as frequently as possible.

Political power that creates dependence upon society is essentially slavery and that’s exactly where the radical left wing socialist hating anti-Americans want you. 

PREDICTIONS THAT NEVER OCCURRED

Predictions that Never Happened

Just as a side note, google or YouTube all the climate activist’s predictions on when the world will end.  It never happened. 

Now, let’s review some of the anti-American, left wing radical, unhinged predictions of what would happen during this second Trump presidency.  You can google, or YouTube any of these as well.

We will go from foreign policy items to more local issues.

So, the big one on the foreign policy front is that he would start World War III.  Well, so far he has ended or had his hand in several foreign conflicts that could have had global ramifications and more or less solved or ended them all.  Not to mention his Abraham Accords, holding a historic (frankly, I disagree 100% in his doing so) summit with North Korea, and trying to end the war in the Ukraine.  No American military involved.  Certainly, I can be readily challenged with our participation in Israel’s attack on Iran and the elimination of their nuclear program.  But, let’s face it, Iran can NEVER have nuclear capabilities.  EVER.

Here’s a fun discussion.  The economy.  The stock market will collapse.  Hmm, my 401 is screaming with success.  And, I am brain dead when it comes to stock analysis so I guess that predication fell flat.  There is ongoing talk about trade war fallout regarding tariffs.  Well, it is about time someone told the rest of world, enough.  If you hit our goods with 56% tariffs, we are going to return the favor.  Dollar for dollar.  So far, we have NOT seen the catastrophic price increases predicted by the left wing.  And then we have the good old fashioned “tax the rich” but current tax cuts only benefit the rich.  No, corporate tax cuts helped out middle income households and kept our Covid-19 economy from collapsing.  Current unemployment for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2025 were record lows.

Let’s talk about those No Kings Demonstrations that have been going on, the last one being yesterday, October 18th, 2025.  These are not “demonstrations”.  They are opportunities for anti-American left wing fascists to destroy property and assault law enforcement and conservative citizens.  They place the administration in a position that it has to defend federal property and then allege Trump is trying to militarize law enforcement.  There were allegations that Trump would never leave office after the loss to Biden.  Well, he did.  Did he try every trick in the book to show the election was a fraud?  Yes.  Was he successful?  No, and he left office.  However, based on what has been coming out about Biden and the weaponization of almost every branch of government, there is now stronger suggestions that the election might indeed have been a fraud.  Then we have “mass” deportations.  Well, “mass” never happened.  Millions of illegal aliens are taking their bribe money and self deporting with the hopes of being able to come back legally.  The “deportations” involve extremely bad criminal types but are now winding down to regular illegal aliens who need to either self deport and come back the right way, or risk being on the 6 o’clock news being dragged around in ankle chains.  Finally, and even I worry about this one, the collapse of the health care system.  Here’s the thing, the current law is unsustainable.  Medicaid fraud is off the scale of calculation especially with illegal aliens, California and Minnesota.  The Big Beautiful Bill did NOT collapse the healthcare system.  Lawyers who aggressively pursue medicare, Medicaid and Social Security Disability for “clients” who can’t work but can play golf every day is sucking the American taxpayer dry.  If there was ever need for militant aggressive law enforcement, here is where it is needed.

The discussion of legal and investigative issues would be exhausting.  Every day we learn of new instances of left wing radical liberal and other Democrats simply made up lies and false documents to silence, remove, and eliminate a political opponent.  Trump is the enemy of Democracy?  Wow, look in the mirror. 

The entire New York prosecution is the ultimate example of weaponizing the legal system to take down a political opponent.  Watch all of the Google and YouTube videos of Laticia James threatening Trump time and time and time again. 

Here is my take on that entire NY thing.  No banks nor insurers lost money.  They all say they were paid back WITH INTEREST, they were paid on time, and there can be no fraud if there is no victim.  Indeed, all the “victims” continue to do business with him. 

There are allegations Trump presented inflated real estate valuations.  We all know these are subjective and vary widely.  Further, the banks did their own appraisals AND AGREED WITH TRUMP.

NY prosecutors didn’t apply federal law correctly.  Frankly, they couldn’t anyway.  THEY ARE STATE PROSECUTORS not federal prosecutors.  They failed to stay in their own lane.  The federal standards and banking regulations quoted by the prosecutors are NOT CODIFIED IN NY LAW.  You can’t prosecute someone for a crime THAT DOESN’T EXIST.

Finally, here’s the big one.  The judge’s behavior was never “fair”, his rulings were soundly biased, and his courtroom behavior was, for lack of a better term, a joke.  Summary judgements ruled in favor of the prosecution before trial have left the door wide open for appears that will over throw the entire case.  By the way, am I the only one who sees that an individual was tried for CORPORATE activities.  Trump should have been shielded by the insulation of incorporating. 

I WON’T BE REACHING ACROSS THE ISLE

Liberals consistently argue that President Trump and conservatives are trying to take away liberties and destroy democracy.  Almost all of their complaints are hypocritical and apply to themselves.

The complain Trump and conservatives are fascists.  Well, let’s remember, fascism comes directly out of Italian socialism.  They believe in collectivism (conservatives do not); state control (conservatives do not); and benefits of the mass are to be applied over individualism (conservatives do not).  They believe in government take over of corporations (much like the socialist NYC Mayor candidate).  They believe in authoritarianism, as discussed below.  Fascists believe in centralized power, dictatorship, and suppression of dissent (conservatives believe in limited government, individual rights, and checks and balances).  The confusion is purposely pushed by Liberals by calling conservatives fascists while exemplifying the same behaviors they complain about. 

Democracy is falling to an authoritarian government.  Yet who forced you to wear a mask, get vaccinated with a medicine that was relatively untested, and made you stay home from work, school, and family events including funerals?  Liberals.

My body, my choice in relation to the abortion issue.  But your body wasn’t your choice when they forced you into lines to take a vaccination.  Liberals were responsible for that.

Conservatives are trying to destroy the country.  Who burned cities throughout the country during the Biden administration without ANY recourse?  Liberals.

Who, day after day, spews vial rhetoric full of lies inciting riots, attacks on churches, attacks on politicians, and others?  Liberals. 

Trump is trying to take away voting rights and destroy democracy and wants to be king.  Hmmm, who anointed Kamala Harris to the president candidate position after pushing aside Joe Biden?  Who did so without a primary election?  Who ignored their constituents and pushed their own political agenda?  Liberals.

Whose cities are fraught with crime, poverty, high cost, and corruption?  Liberal run cities.

Who argues about the loss of freedom of speech while shutting down speakers or students with conservative views on college campuses?  Liberals.  Who cancels and silences those they don’t agree with?  Liberals.  Who supports social media scrubbing, bans, and forcing speech codes including incorrect grammar, like referring to a single person as a “they” or “them”?  Liberals.

Who champions diversity, equity, and inclusion while establishing “safe areas” shutting out white students from almost everything?  Liberals.

Who demands climate action while flying around in private jets and all living in high consumption ways?  Liberals.

Who celebrated the assassination of someone who proved they were wrong and then called for the assassination of other conservative media on all forms of social media and the BlueSky App? Liberals.

I have no interest in interacting and having discourse with those who opinions, morals and values are so illogical, so unsupported by actions, and so radically opposed to mine.  Sorry, Charlie, I have no reason for talking because I do indeed think the other side is so evil and they have indeed lost their humanity. 

Exactly What Rights Are You Losing?

Flip through any Tic Tok or Instagram stream and you will find countless sites of left wing minded people and groups screaming about all the rights they have lost now that Trump won the election.

As a side note, Trump is not in office and hasn’t put out any, that is right – not one, policy that is being enforced. So, the complaint is an outright lie but for the probability they really mean the rights they are about to lose.

And exactly, what rights are they? Certainly, neither Trump, his current recommended cabinet appointees, nor anyone running in his circle has voiced any intention to take anyone’s rights. In fact, the only rumblings are the contracting (decrease in size) of government oversight thus INCREASING individual freedoms.

What are these people screaming about?? What freedoms are being or going to be taken away?

Well, here they are. You see the one and only way woke-ism can exist is through the subjugating of the un-woke. That is, the woke do not want freedom of speech, thought or expression. They demand the un-woke’s compliance with the woke agenda. The battle lines and differences between the woke and the un-woke play out mostly on social media, college campuses, the big screen and television (news shows, talk shows, late night, and sit coms). In social media the woke pushed for a huge cancel culture. On college campuses the woke demanded the de-platforming of speakers not subjecting themselves to their ideology. They also insisted on mandated diversity while screaming about cultural appropriation and outright public censuring of anyone with different viewpoints. Just watch any talk show and the political leanings of obvious.

Woke-ism demands social justice while allowing the outright grand theft from retail stores; allowing violent criminals to roam free and emboldening them to kill, rape, kidnap, steal, burn and destroy with not a fear for any consequences.

The woke will go so far as to say children do not belong to the parents, they belong to society. Wow, how Communist of them. The woke established policies that banned responsible educators, medical professionals, and law enforcement agencies from advising parents when their children were seeking gender change procedures. The woke socialist Education Secretary conspired with the National School Board Association to have parents arrested or “tracked” by the FBI if they voiced opposition to the teaching of critical race theory and highly questionable covid masking protocols and restrictions.

But, and please forgive the tired and worn out saying, there is a new sheriff coming to town. And the woke about to lose a whole bunch of rights.

The woke will lose the right to label parents as domestic terrorists for fighting against the indoctrination of their children to accepting critical race theory.

The woke will lose the right to dance around with barely a stitch of clothing on in front of young children. They will lose the right to have adult themed books in elementary school libraries. They will lose the right to force their sexual identities and preferences upon children.

The woke will lose their right to have the Justice Department’s Domestic Terrorist Unit harass, arrest, charge and prosecute political opponents.

The woke will lose their right to support the massive invasion of illegal immigrants and thus their dreams of having them vote, illegally, for liberal and Democrat policies and candidates.

The woke will lose their right to have economic policies kept in place that strangle small business, keep inflation high, and take away benefits from veterans and American homeless to support their illegal immigrant friends.

The woke will lose their right to silence opposing views in all areas including social media, college campuses, television and the big screen.

The woke will lose their right to demand diversity that force the hiring of people based upon skin color rather than their qualifications.

The woke will lose their right to criticize individuals for cultural appropriation. The woke want everyone divided and separate. The woke don’t want people to mix and mingle and enjoy each other’s cultures. The woke don’t want America to be the great melting pot anymore. And, one example of the hypocrisy of their demands is that white people should never have dreadlocks yet the complaint is coming from a black female with dutch blond white hair.

The woke will lose their right to harass and beat members of other religions. They will lose their right to protest by disrupting the lives of others. They will lose their right to loot, burn and destroy.

Perhaps the most significant right the woke will lose is the right to censure. They lose the right to silence. They lose the right to cancel. They lose the right to take away the un-woke rights to freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom to defend themselves.

In the end, the woke are right. They’re about to lose a lot of freedoms.

DEMOCRATES / LIBERALS MAKE HISTORY – But Is It Really One to Be Proud Of?

To be fair, he should have plead guilty and paid a fine long long ago. But, this was a battle of egos that was hugely stacked against him by a political machine that had control of the entire justice system. Everyone in America, indeed throughout the world, should readily understand the reference I am making.

But before we get the main point here, let’s admit there are countless examples of America’s double standands in terms of criticizing other countries for their activies. Here are a few:

  • criticizing Russia, China, and many others for slaughtering their own citizens in the name of progress while America slaughtered Indians throughout the 1800s.
  • complaining about Russian and China election interference while continuously intervening in the elections of other countries since the 1940s so “American friendly” puppets could be installed.
  • sending Americans to “fight for the rights of oppressed people” in Vietnam while oppressing the very same people being sent over there to fight for that freedom.
  • complaining about foreign “brain washing” of its youth while pushing a massive socialist educational agenda in its own public schools (while an argument for another day, let’s face it, public school = government schooling).
  • “monitoring” elections in other countries and pointing out the unfairness of the voting process while allowing non-citizens and other various unidentified people to vote in its own elections.
  • pointing out the unfairness of racial inequality in countries like South Africa and female oppression in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia while oppressing men, especially white men, under the disguise of diversity, equity and inclusion.
  • providing countries will massive military aid to protect their borders while allowing an invasion at their own Southern Border.
  • jailing its former leaders or potential challengers to the current leaders while prosecuting Trump for “election contribution accounting violations”.

Certainly there are many more examples but those are the ones that quickly come to mind.

The Liberals / Democrats are enjoying a great Memorial Day Holiday week with the jury verdict of guilt towards Donald Trump. The rest of the world laughs at America as it sees this trial for what it was – a political witch hunt with the intention of jailing a political opponent. Some examples of that would be:

  • a prosecution witness who blatantly lies – about everything
  • not allowing defense witnesses
  • a judge that was handpicked and should never have been allowed on the case due to a conflict
  • gross inaccuracies in the jury instructions
  • the statute of limitations for the crime had long expired
  • the judge donated heavily to the Biden campaign even though it is illegal for New York judges to donate to political campaigns
  • using federal law violations to prosecute state law issues
  • evidence that was either excluded or improperly admitted
  • the due process concerns of listing 34 counts without specifying the unlawfulness by which NY Election Law was violation

Certainly legal scholars could come up with a more specific and accurate list.

But let’s look at this in the grand scheme of history. A former President of the United States was charged, tried and convicted of a felony.

That’s not only embarrassing, it is a black eye to the country and really further diminishes our standing, relevancy, status throughout the world. Well done Liberal / Democrats. But, that’s really what they want to do anyway. The socialist, bordering on Marxist idiology of Liberals / Democrats is the downfall of America as a Republic.

Maybe we’ll just become a vast waste land to vanish like the Persian Empire, the Alexandrian Empire, the Roman Empire.
