No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.

Police terrorizing our communities.
Not just an urban problem, the police are also terrorizing the poor working class in small towns too.
Don't like the idea it's organized by a commie front, but what else is out there?

Trump’s Iran intervention is a disaster. What was sold as a "show of strength" has only triggered instability and massive costs. Overseas chaos is spiraling, and the fallout is hitting us everywhere.
He needs to pivot back to the economy immediately. He used to brag about the stock market and low oil, but now both are moving the wrong way. The market is sliding and oil is more expansive now than it was in Biden’s final year.
Inflation is rising again. The 0.7 percent jump in wholesale inflation (PPI) in February happened before the Iran conflict, which shows prices were already accelereting, thanks to Trump’s trade wars. The war is only making an existing problem worse.
Growth has also slowed sharply. GDP is down to 0.7 percent, compared with the 2 percent range in late 2025. That combination of weak growth and rising prices is a classic setup for stagflation. At the same time, the national debt has crossed 39 trillions dollars.
The job market is in poor shape as well. The economy created only 181,000 jobs in all of 2025, which wasn’t just slow, it was the weakest non‑recessionary year for the labor market. And the new year started even worse, with the economy losing 92,000 jobs in February.
Taken together, rising inflation, slowing growth, higher oil prices, a weakening labor market, and record debt all point to an economy moving in the wrong direction on multiple fronts.
Bottom line: The priority should be simple: wrap up the conflict, claim the win, and pivot entirely to the domestic economy. If oil stays north of $100 a barrel, a recession isn't just a risk, it’s a reality.

I really think we’re watching a massive shift in public opinion right now. Between what’s happened in Gaza and now this war in Iran, which a lot of people feel was pushed by pro-Israel groups.
That old fear of being labeled anti-Semitic just for criticizing Israeli policy is finally starting to fade. People across the political landscape are starting to speak up and make the distinction that criticizing a government’s specific actions isn’t the same thing as attacking a people. It feels like more Americans are finally comfortable saying that out loud.

Honestly, that’s a pretty rough look for Trump. He already had to bail on New York, the city where he was born and raised, because he had virtually no support there. Now even his adopted home turf in Florida is slipping away, at least a little. Whrn you lose the district that includes your own mansion, that isn’t just a political flip, it’s a punchline. lolDemocrats flip Florida state seat that includes Trump's Mar-a-Lago home

'I believed in myself': Democrat who flipped Trump’s Florida district
Democrats are projected to win a special election for a Florida legislative district that includes Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, marking another upset in the president's backyard.
Democrat Emily Gregory, a first-time candidate, defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples in a race for the open Florida District 87 state House seat.
The result is a reversal from 2024, when a Republican won the district by 19 percentage points.
Democrats have performed well in special elections during Trump's second term, and Gregory's victory could indicate momentum for the party heading into this year's congressional midterm elections.

Well, today is the day.
Based on an unscientific poll by yours truly, working at a truck stop overnight, between Kansas City and Dallas, I can tell you with 100% confidence, 98% of the people just want to live their lives.
Walking back in from a 20 minute smoke break, a SUV caught my attention. Counted them. Twelve anti Trump bumper stickers. Brand new, looked sharp.
Laughed. Disappointed I didn't catch up with him or her to find out which No Kings event she or him was heading to. Wanted to give my best so I can get a first hand account of what happened, if anything, traveling back.
Did notice one pro Trump customer.
A young "cowboy", wearing a "Trump" vest with a Beer brand.
Resisted the urge to tell him all the hot chicks will be along 41st Street in Tulsa around 2:00PM today (No Kings protest).
