‘No Kings’ Isn’t Protecting Democracy, But Suppressing It

This weekend, a reported 2,500 “No Kings” events are scheduled to occur across all 50 states in what is expected to be a much larger follow up to the “No Kings” protests that occurred back in April and June of this year.

Organizers describe their movement as a necessary defense against President Donald Trump’s supposed assault on America’s democratic foundations, believing that Trump’s actions are akin to a tyrannical ruler’s rather than the legitimate actions of a democratically elected president.

Activists are expecting the largest single day of protest in modern American history, citing increased organic opposition to the Trump administration’s attempts at enforcing immigration law, the attempted deployment of National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities, and even the recent government shutdown, which are all being cast as examples of authoritarianism.

But a closer look at the “partners” page of the No Kings website contradicts the “grassroots” categorization of these “anti-authoritarian” protests.

Far from a spontaneous uprising of concerned citizens, the “No Kings” movement is powered by a familiar network of progressive organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign, MoveOn, Public Citizen, the American Federation of Teachers, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and Greenpeace, among others.

Behind them stand the same constellation of progressive megadonors that have driven the “resistance” since 2016. One major No Kings partner, Indivisible, for instance, has received more than $7.6 million from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations since 2018.

Defending the Democratic Party

Seen in this light, “No Kings” isn’t a defense of democracy at all. Instead, it’s a defense of the entrenched power of the Democratic Party.

As such, when progressives say they are “protecting democratic norms” they are in reality protecting their dominance within the unelected government bureaucracy, the mainstream media ecosystem, academia, and other institutions that operate beyond the reach of American voters, all of which Trump is seeking to either reform or dismantle.

This inversion of democratic meaning has been building for decades. From the administrative explosion of the New Deal under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to the rise of the modern regulatory state, liberals, on both the left and right, have long viewed the unelected bureaucracy as a safeguard against the kind of populist backlash represented by the MAGA/America First movement.

Within that liberal worldview, elections are sacred only when they affirm the technocratic and managerial consensus. When they don’t, the institutions and those aligned with the ruling regime must step in to stifle any potential changes to the system.

This vision of politics as careful management has gradually reshaped our constitutional order.

Elections now merely swap figureheads atop a vast administrative machine rather than install leaders capable of altering the steady leftward course of American domestic and foreign policy.

This is why former President Joe Biden, who clearly suffered from severe cognitive decline during his term, did not impede the functioning or direction of government, demonstrating that the system, under Democratic leadership, largely functions without the direct involvement or even need for a chief executive.

This can be attributed to the fact that most federal employees politically align with the views of the Democratic Party, as evidenced by 84 percent of all political donations from federal employees going to Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024.

On the other hand, President Trump, who holds a popular mandate, must contend with a network of adversarial agencies, courts, and bureaucrats who continually attempt to stifle his agenda, all without being accountable to the electorate.

“Fueled By Billionaires”: No Kings Prepares Color-Revolution-Style Mobilization Against Trump

The Democratic Party’s dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization across the U.S. this weekend – a replay of failed agitation attempts seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk. The operation, marketed under the “No Kings” banner and portrayed publicly as a grassroots movement, in reality functions as a professionalized protest-industrial complex. Its composition includes a blend of paid activists, white boomers suffering from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a smaller contingent of organic, unhinged leftists who recite MSNBC talking points by heart. 

Little do these white boomers know, the “No Kings” movement, supposedly against “kings and billionaires”, is, in reality, funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves. In truth, No Kings is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it “No Kings,” and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left.

Jay Jones knew the children he wished dead: VA Delegate Terry Kilgore

After Democrat nominee for Virginia attorney general Jay Jones was revealed to have had a desire for the killing of GOP politician Todd Gilbert as well as his children so that Gilbert would move on gun policy, a Republican in the state assembly has said that Jones knew the children at the time he made the comments.

Terry Kilgore, a Virginia State Delegate and leader of the GOP in the state legislature revealed on the Tucker Carlson Show that Gilbert’s children were around the state assembly all the time and Jones would have known them. Carlson said to Kilgore, “This text exchange happened several years ago, and when it happened, the Republican to whom he was texting—I don’t have any idea what that was about, but it happened—sent this exchange to the Speaker who was being threatened by Jay Jones, whose children were being threatened by Jay Jones? Did he tell anybody about it? Did you hear about it then?”

Kilgore responded, “I didn’t hear about it. To be perfectly honest. I didn’t know anything about it until the Friday that all this was released. And no, I think Todd was just handling it. You know, in a way, Todd normally handles things.”

“Todd’s a great guy, good friend. You know, his two little kids are just precious little kids, two little boys, you know, in school now, but at that time, they were around the General Assembly all the time. Everybody knew the Gilbert kids. And Jay Jones would have known the Gilbert kids. That’s what’s terrible about this whole situation. It wasn’t like, ‘hey, I want to kill a kid who’s from another country.’ You would know this kid, these kids, because you’re around the General Assembly.”

Carlson called the newly revealed information, “Horrifying.”

Extreme Leftist Democrat Crockett Claims Trump HAD A STROKE And Cannot Function

Unhinged low IQ individual Jasmine Crockett is spreading complete lies about President Trump’s health, claiming that he has suffered a stroke that has rendered him unable to carry out his duties in office.

Trump received a full medical last week at Walter Reed and passed with flying colours, and then went on to fly to Israel and bring peace to the Middle East, before returning to the U.S. the same night in order to posthumously present Charlie Kirk the Presidential medal of Freedom.

Despite this packed and hefty schedule, Crockett is all over social media claiming ‘medical professionals’ have told her Trump is mentally unfit.

Trump’s schedule would crush anyone with half her IQ—which isn’t saying much, since Crockett’s is probably room temperature on a good day. Back-to-back rallies, international diplomacy, and policy wins that make her entire irrelevant sideshow career look like a bad SNL skit.

How is this clown an elected official?

Keep talking Crockett, anyone with eyes can see that Trump is a workhorse and you’re absolutely full of shit.

Trump-Hating Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Raises Eyebrows With His Explanation On How He ‘Won’ Over $1 MILLION Playing Blackjack On Just ONE Trip to Las Vegas

One of President Trump’s biggest political adversaries stunned the political world after revealing that he won an unusual amount of money gambling in Las Vegas last year.

As The New York Times reported, Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker released his 2024 tax returns on Wednesday as rumors circulate about him as a 2028 presidential candidate.

The returns revealed that Pritzker and his wife reported $10.7 million in adjusted gross income. But the biggest shock was the fact that he won $1.4 million playing blackjack in Las Vegas in just one trip.

Such an amount is surprising, especially considering Pritzker is not a professional gambler.

Pritzker, though, told reporters Thursday that there was nothing nefarious and that it was just his lucky night at the casino.

“I went on vacation with my wife, with some friends, I was incredibly lucky,” a smiling Pritzer claimed at a press conference. “You have to be in order to end up ahead in a casino anywhere.”

“I like to play cards. I founded a charitable poker match here in Chicago called the Chicago Poker Challenge that has raised millions of dollars for the Holocaust museum,” he said in an apparent attempt to tone down any accusations of cheating.

Stephen Miller flees Virginia mansion after menacing messages left for him

The White House‘s deputy chief of staff and so-called ‘immigration architect’ Stephen Miller is putting his Arlington home up for sale after it was caught in the crosshairs of activists.

The custom-built home in a quiet neighborhood in Arlington that ’embraces a refined Southern California aesthetic’ is priced at $3.75 million – sold in 2023 for $2.875 million, records say.

Miller has emerged as one of the most controversial figures in US immigration policy, chiefly for the hardline proposals he’s been pushing. 

Among his major policy goals are mass arrests and deportations—for example, setting a new ICE target of around 3,000 arrests per day in recent months.

He’s also been a strong advocate for expanding travel bans and raising the vetting standards for who can enter the US, often targeting Muslim-majority countries.

On at least two occasions this year—including in mid‑September—activists have written chalk messages of protest in front of his Arlington, Virginia home and in a nearby park. 

Messages included phrases like ‘Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,’ ‘stop the kidnapping,’ ‘no white nationalism,’ ‘we [love] immigrants,’and ‘trans rights are human rights,’ according to ARLnow.com

A few days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah, chalk messages began appearing, prompting Katie Miller — a former communications official who is also Stephen Miller’s wife— to share a defiant message on social media.

‘To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,’ she posted on X in mid-September, alongside the post was a video showing several of the messages being washed away with a garden hose.

While speaking on The Sean Hannity Show, Stephen Miller and Hannity claimed the messages constituted ‘terroristic threats.’

Dr Oz accuses Democrats of ‘gaslighting’ Americans over $1B in Medicaid payments to illegal immigrants

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced Thursday that an internal review uncovered more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to illegal immigrants across several states, a problem he says the Trump administration is now moving to correct.

“The Democrats have been gaslighting us on this issue of Medicaid funds going to illegal immigrants for quite a while,” Oz said on “Fox & Friends.” 

Healthcare for illegal immigrants has been a major issue prolonging the latest government shutdown, which is now entering its third week. Republicans accuse Democrats of allowing federal health dollars to go to illegal immigrants while standing in the way of efforts to cut government waste.

Oz said his agency’s investigation into the topic is “just getting started” and the latest figure covers only a few states.

Democrats Block Legislation To Pay Troops During Shutdown

Democrats blocked the Senate from considering a defense spending bill on Thursday afternoon that would pay military service members during the shutdown.

Senators voted 50 to 44, with just three Democrats breaking with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to advance a full-year defense appropriations bill. The failed vote comes as Congress is locked in a stalemate to end the 16-day shutdown with Democrats largely refusing to cross party lines and reopen the government.

The defense appropriations bill would fund the Department of War for the upcoming fiscal year and ensure that active-duty troops do not miss a paycheck during the shutdown. The measure also includes a military pay raise.

Military personnel would have gone without pay for the first time in U.S. history on Wednesday if President Donald Trump had not tapped unused Pentagon funding to temporarily cover troop pay.

However, there is no guarantee of future paychecks for military personnel if the shutdown continues into November.

Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire joined Republicans in advancing the defense spending bill that would fund troop pay for the entire fiscal year. The funding measure notably passed out of the Appropriations Committee with near unanimous support in July.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune blasted Democrats for filibustering the measure during a fiery speech on the Senate floor.

“After voting last week for an authorization bill to increase troop pay, Democrats just voted against the bill that would actually pay the troops,” Thune said.

“They’re happy to sacrifice any American and evidently any principle to their political goals,” Thune continued. “Democrats like to position themselves as the party of the little guy and the defender of hard-working Americans, but as this vote makes clear, who do Democrats really care about?”

Virginia Democrat Voters Side With Assassination Fetishist Jay Jones: ‘Gotta Fight Hardball’

RLINGTON, Va. — Come hell or high water, Democrats in Virginia are standing by their attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who fantasized about annihilating the family of his political opponents in order to get them to “move on policy.”

According to Democrat voters in one of the commonwealth’s bluest districts, “the alternative,” Attorney General Jason Miyares, R-Va. — who is most well known for conducting basic law enforcement duties, working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport illegals, and defending school children from “transgender” ideology — is much more dangerous.

In the final stretch of the Virginia election, with early voting season in full swing, The Federalist interviewed multiple Democrat voters outside Arlington County’s primary early voting location at Courthouse Plaza. None would give their names, but all justified voting for Jones despite his desire to commit gruesome acts of violence over political disagreements.

Each Democrat was very much aware of how abhorrent the comments were, but was committed to sticking by him anyway. The underlying drive for their support seems to be their idea that their cause is existential and the ends justify all behavior, including talking in a very serious way about the murder of political opponents and their families.

“You gotta fight hardball the same way they do,” one middle-aged white male Democrat who had just cast his ballot for Jones told The Federalist. He explained that the text messages did not change his vote, but it “made me hesitant.” He added that if it were a primary, he would not vote for him.

‘Two Bullets’ Jay Jones Says He’s Sorry For Vile Texts, Then Blames Trump

It’s a good thing “Two Bullets” Jay Jones isn’t applying for a line prosecutor position in an attorney general’s office. As Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has said, Jones wouldn’t pass a background check. 

But Jones, a former Virginia state delegate, isn’t applying for a line prosecutor position. He’s applying to replace Republican incumbent AG Miyares. The commonwealth’s voters in a couple of weeks, however, will determine if Jones’ vile text messages — in which he fantasized about putting “two bullets” in the head of a Republican politician he loathed — pass their background check. 

‘I Am Ashamed,’ but It’s Trump

At a debate Thursday evening between the two candidates, Jones had to again face the violent messages that some of his fellow Democrats have called indefensible and many Virginians have said are disqualifying. Jones gave another political mea culpa, telling the packed house at the University of Richmond who he believes the real culprit is: Donald Trump. 

“Let me be very clear: I am ashamed. I am embarrassed. And I am sorry,” the leftist AG candidate said. His apology sounded as sincere as the standard politician who is sorry — for being caught. 

Jones quickly pivoted to a long list of complaints about President Donald Trump, attempting to tie Miyares to the hip of the commander-in-chief and his policies. Jones, who is dealing with more unearthed skeletons than his 2022 text fantasies of murdering the children of former Virginia Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert, urged voters to remember that “the stakes of this race are too high” to consider his psychotic messages. 

Jones warned that if he is not elected there will be no one in the attorney general’s office to lead an endless lawfare campaign against the left’s Public Enemy No. 1 and his administration. 

“When Donald Trump fires [federal] workers, defunds our schools, and levies tariffs that destroy our regional economies, sends armed troops into cities, and defunds law enforcment, he has a willing cheerleader here in Jason Miyares, who will not step up to sue,” Miyares said, promising Virginia and the world that he would be a reliable foot soldier in the Democratic Party’s war on Trump and a political agenda that much of America voted for.
