In the lovely city of Ann Arbor, MI, a roost of chickens showed up carrying “Cluck Trump” signs. They do get points for originality and a disguise that would cushion rubber bullets if the flock got out of hand. Down in Sarasota, FL, one onlooker reported, “Looks like Trump has officially scrambled the brains of Libs so hard they’re now waving 1776 signs. Do they not get the irony?”
Tom Kramer, a common-sense-oriented guy in Lincoln, NE, piped up with a message to do a little bit of research before the next regularly scheduled protest: “The most interesting thing is if he was the ‘King.’ They wouldn’t be able to protest. Isn’t freedom a wonderful thing?”
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch
Every conservative knows these events aren’t organic. Thousands upon thousands of coordinated propaganda blasts went out, full of links to left-wing fundraising websites such as ActBlue, Inequality Media, ActionNetwork.Org, and ProtectVoting.Org, where you could provide soft drinks and pizza to the yahoos doing the protesting dirty work. Even Bill Clinton’s Labor secretary, Robert Reich (if anyone remembers that guy), thought he’d hit up some folks on the aged hippies list. His message reads: “Robert Reich here. Are you going to attend a No Kings Day event on October 18? Let me know.”
Here’s a breakdown of your after-tax dollars at work for you: $25, and ActBlue would provide bagels and coffee to one busload of protesters. Donations of $35 covered fancy No Kings signs and flyers, $50 funded for another busload, and $100 covered the transportation of 60 “students” to a No Kings Day protest. Where are the hippies from the 1960s? They knew how to throw an organic grassroots protest. They should be on someone’s speed dial.
It's such a great groundswell of support against Trump that a liability release was required:
PAID FOR AND AUTHORIZED BY INEQUALITY MEDIA CIVIC ACTION
By participating in this event, you agree to the following statements: I agree to release Inequality Media Civic Action, Inequality Media, Blue Future, Social Security Works, HollywoodDemocrats.com, other partners, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or consultants (the “Releasees”) from responsibility for any injury to my person or property occurring during or in connection to this event.
I hereby and forever release and discharge the Releasees from and against any and all costs, damages, and liability for death, injury to person, injury or damage to property, or other damages, costs, losses, or expenses of whatsoever nature, caused during or by reason of my participation in this event.
There were a lot of radical feminist types aiming to get noticed and interviewed, but the strategy was way off: “No more sex until Trump is gone” was scratched onto signs clearly pulled out of the garbage bin from last night’s pizza. Those gals aren’t the type to do each other’s nails. In Southeast Missouri, Amanda Gibson took one look at the attached footage and stated: “Plot twist: they weren't going to be having sex anyway.”
There were also a plethora of signs that made little sense. One in particular began as a “stop being a fascist” sign that had an addendum of the cryptic seashell threat “8647.” As Matthew Williams remarked: “The irony of that sign.”
In Lima, OH, Mark Wood chimed in, saying: “I smell commies.” But a lot of flyover folks decided to celebrate No Kings Day the American way. Like this rural southern boy, Kevin Roach, in Greenville County, SC: “Happy No Kings Day! We celebrated by having some good SC barbecue at an all-American fair, supporting the county Republican committee, and buying a raffle ticket for a rifle. Now we’re home, where we will spend the rest of the day watching SC Gamecocks football and praying we win the raffle. Thanks to the patriots 250 years ago who ensured we would have No Kings!”
ICYMI Files
In case this bit of concerning news didn’t catch your eye, former New York Times editor and founder of the Free Press Bari Weiss was appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News. She is – or, at least, used to be – very liberal, but the radical lefty editors on Wikipedia began negatively slanting her page and the Free Press.
Wikipedia now threatens that it might be “potentially reviewing the current status of CBS under Wikipedia’s ‘reliable sources.” Goodness, these people are whiny. Who actually finds either CBS or Wikipedia “reliable”?
And a tidbit that demands a line or two but not much more than a paragraph: Kamala Harris said – with a straight face – that Gen Xers aren’t having children because they have Climate Anxiety. Note this was at a gathering of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Gala at the Washington National Cathedral in DC on October 14.
“My goddaughter, who’s a junior in college right now, was crying to me just two days ago, worried about ‘what is the world gonna be for me, auntie,’ she said, "when I want to have kids. Should I even be thinking about having children?”
Henderson, NC, had a favorite son weigh in who simply pointed to the former Vice President: “Ri-i-i-ght! And who was it that gave them climate anxiety??” Besides Leonard Nimoy, it had to be the Democratic Party. Right?
