Stopping by because the internet outage has held up my work for now. Like so many across this country I was out marching in the No Kings protest this past Saturday. It was a beautiful Fall day in Minneapolis with the weather warm for the season. According to the local Fox affiliate 100,000 people turned out for a peaceful rally and march.
I wrote this last Friday in response to the arguments that “No Kings” isn’t relevant because there isn’t an actual US King or that this is a “Hate America”.

Why No Kings is still Relevant

For those who don’t understand the No Kings protests and are claiming they are not relevant because we don’t have a king should reread the Declaration of Independence and not just the first part to understand why this protest and the name “No Kings” is still relevant now.

The writers of the Declaration weren’t just declaring independence from Britain for the sake of independence or even just Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness but had specific charges against the crown. Many of these charges are similar to what is happening now in the US and the overarching theme then as now is resistance to concentration of power in an executive office whether a literal King or a president.

Among the specific charges in the Declaration of Independence were the sending troops from other parts of the British Empire to the colonies without their consent. This is similar to the sending of National Guard from states like Texas to Oregon and Illinois without the consent of the local government of those states. Like the president now the crown also claimed this was necessary to keep the peace and enforce the law.

Interferring with trade from the colonies through the use of tariffs and other means. Like then these tariffs are largely being made not through the legislature but through executive orders. Also like the 1770’s American farmers and manufacturers are paying the price unable to sell their goods to other countries while prices go up for American consumers.

Taking legislative power from the legislature to the executive. This administration has largely governed by executive order rather than through actual legislation. These are essentially kingly decrees that bypass a coequal branch of government. Particularly in deciding to withhold or redirect spending that had been passed by Congress.

The President is canceling programs and funding to “Democrat states” and is specifically saying he is doing so out of political grievance. Even though these programs had been passed and signed into law. This parallels how the British King still collected taxes from the colonies while not putting in policies to benefit them and blocking their elected representatives. Current “Democrat states” are still expected to pay taxes but legislation passed for programs and infrastructure is being blocked by the executive. This is even more relevant with the President’s own party refusing to seat an elected Democrat to the US House of Representatives.

The writers of the Declaration of Independence also criticized the King for making judges subservient to his will. We’ve seen that with the current President threatening judges that have ruled against him and even saying that he will not abide by rulings that he doesn’t agree with. He has been aided by a Supreme Court that has made many rulings, often with little to no explanation, increasing the power reducing the accountability of the executive. This is where “No Kings” is very relevant because an unaccountable executive is essentially a king.

The writers of the Declaration of Independence were opposing a literal King and there are many parallels to what was happening 250 years ago. The No Kings protest is about preventing a President from ruling like a King. Every American should reread ALL OF the Declaration of Independence to understand that.

Speaking of kings, King Biden disliked our nation's immigration laws and so he circumvented democracy by removing border barriers and flooded American communities with MILLIONS of illegals.

Maybe if you post it just four more times, it would make it true and people would agree with you. Good luck

It is true. The Biden Regime created an app to help foreigners enter the U.S. ILLEGALLY.

No KIngs is Relevant because the movement is important because it is up setting for Trump who can see it growing. If the trend continues and the House and Senate go Democrat, as Trump has mentioned, he will be impeached and convicted. The country is turning against old senile Donald even more with his storm troopers killing immigrants and their American defenders.
