Saturday is the ‘big’ no kings protest, where the assorted fruits, nuts, berries, and professional malcontents will let their TDS all hang out, hooting and hollering nitwittery.
Honestly, I forgot about this. It’s not a thing around here. As a matter of fact, when I sized up the map, the closest one to me would probably be Burleson. Maybe Arlington.
Easy enough to avoid. Interestingly, I see none anywhere near where I used to live in Plano.
Wonder who’s going?
We’ve been to a couple of these curious spectacles since springtime here in the Hudson River Valley, in the next town over. The crowd there was just about entirely made up of aging Boomers, joyfully re-living the halcyon days of the Vietnam protests. It was kind of like a street production of the old Broadway hit Hair, only with a cast of 75-year-olds. – J Kunstler
I’m sure there’ll be more than a few millennial and gen-z nitwits, for sure. No matter. The police in these parts do a good job of controlling silliness such as this. I’d be surprised if there were more than a handful of geezers post up in Burleson.
But, then again, this all begs a question. Their premise is flawed.
Where were they when president pen & phone was doing as he pleased, empowering all sorts of nameless functionaries in the leviathan to do his bidding? Remember Lois Lerner? She wasn’t the only one. Just one of the few to be caught. FWIW, she retired happily and thus isn’t wearing an orange jumpsuit in a penitentiary like she should.
Where were they when president autopen was shuffling, drooling, and shitting himself as more nameless functionaries were doing as they pleased. Doing such things as, oh, not enforcing immigration laws?
They voted for that. They voted for that DEI incompetent Harris to carry it on.
They seem perfectly happy to have a spoils system in place where these frauds can cash in, never wondering how an idiot like AOC, or our own Dallas village idiot Crockett, neither one of which can find their ass with both hands wind up getting rich on their House salary.
Instead of protesting “No Kings”, they should be protesting “No Commissars”. Because that’s what we get when their idiots are in power. Hoof! I have malcontent fatigue.
Don’t be surprised if tomorrow’s “No Kings” demo descends into violence, arson, and looting. The Democratic Party needs this happen so it can provoke the president to invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can label him “Hitler” again. It is another absolutely in-your-face move. Mr. Trump has discussed the possibility of having to invoke the act. Such a dynamic course of events will backfire badly on the desperate Democrats. More than half the country has had enough of Woke Marxist roguery. They will probably be glad to see extraordinary measures used to stop it, and to override the rogue judiciary that lets it loose on the nation. – JH Kunstler
It’ll be easy enough to avoid this silliness, even if there are more than a handful near me. And there aren’t. I have a baton, and an old sledge hammer handle in the truck as well as a fine bumper guard. I think it’ll be the .45 I carry this weekend. Although I’m sure it’ll come to nothing.
There’s a cold front, with storms leading it, heading into town Saturday evening. Maybe it’ll come early and rain on the parade.

They will for the most part behave here in Florida. Especially with the new Open Carry laws and run ’em down if they mob the car edict from the Governor.
But as you allude to, there’s always a few that get all up in your face.
Best strategy is to avoid them in my opinion. Don’t give them what they’re looking for (attention mostly, like the spoiled little children the emulate).
Our L.E. here really does not want to handle any chaos so they tend to nip it in the bud before it escalates so that’s a good thing too. Pretty much like over there in TX.
