   The left's "No Kings" protests that took place Saturday aren't the   
   grassroots movements they pretend to be. They're slick, coordinated   
   productions, complete with sponsors, training, and a lot of people with   
   nothing better to do on a weekend.   
      
   I’ve been to real protests—small groups holding signs, big crowds that   
   showed up because they cared, with no one handing out instruction   
   manuals or cutting checks. That was activism. What we're seeing now from   
   the radical left is something else entirely: astroturfing on an   
   industrial scale.   
      
   During a live Newsmax broadcast from the National Mall, correspondent   
   Alana Austin found herself face to face with exactly the kind of   
   protester too stupid to realize they’ve said too much. The woman,   
   sporting pink hair and clutching signs with Antifa imagery, identified   
   herself as an "anti-fascist" but swore she wasn't formally part of   
   "Antifa." Sure.   
      
   What came next was the real kicker. When Austin asked about the   
   protest's peaceful vibe, the woman didn't hesitate. "We've all been told   
   to be peaceful," she explained matter-of-factly. "We've had training on   
   how to be peaceful and to deescalate."   
      
   Training.   
      
   As in organized, structured instruction on how to behave at a protest.   
      
   Austin didn't get the chance to follow up on who exactly provided this   
   training or which organization bankrolled it, but the admission alone   
   punctures the myth that these movements are leaderless and organic. When   
   the protester was asked to show her Antifa-marked sign more clearly, she   
   refused. Funny how that works.   
      
   Organizers included members of the Democratic Socialists of America and   
   an assortment of other left-wing activist groups. And that’s what really   
   gets me about it—the structured coordination lurking beneath it. The   
   protester's casual mention of training contradicts activists' favorite   
   talking points that the people are “rising up” against Trump. If you’re   
   being paid and trained to be a protester, you’re not a protester, you’re   
   a contractor.   
      
   That said, the good thing about this is that they were trained to be   
   peaceful. It’s a pleasant change from the rioting, violence, and   
   destruction that we’ve grown used to from anything associated with   
   Antifa. I guess some highly-paid PR consultant told them that violence   
   is a bad look, and they must have gotten the message.   
      
   Nevertheless, the Trump administration and the Justice Department   
   continue treating Antifa as a domestic terror organization, and federal   
   authorities have vowed to investigate protest networks tied to violence   
   against police or property. As they should.   
      
   Newsmax has more:   
      
   Generally, daytime activist demonstrations in Democrat-run cities   
   throughout America have been peaceful, but later at night, antifa   
   reporter Andy Ngo has told Newsmax, the violent activists act out   
   against him and law enforcement.   
      
   Ngo has been beaten to near death by antifa protesters, he told Trump at   
   a White House roundtable.   
      
   While left-leaning media and antifa protesters are decrying Trump's   
   consideration of invoking the Insurrection Act to defend America and   
   keep citizens safe, Vice President JD Vance called it a deflection from   
   the harsh realities on the ground.   
      
   "The problem is not the Insurrection Act," Vance told NBC News' "Meet   
   the Press" last Sunday. "The problem is that the entire media in this   
   country, cheered on by a few far-left lunatics, have made it OK to tee   
   off on American law enforcement."   
      
   Vance told NBC's Kristen Welker that Trump is "looking at all of the   
   options," including the Insurrection Act of 1807, as violent attacks   
   against immigration enforcement officers rise.   
      
   The “No Kings” protests aren’t organic uprisings—they’re well-funded,   
   stage-managed productions, complete with directors, scripts, and   
   professional agitators playing their parts. This isn’t grassroots   
   outrage; it’s political theater designed to look organic while serving   
   the interests of Democrat power brokers. Real protests don’t need   
   instruction manuals, training, and a payroll. Manufactured ones always   
   do.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024   
   Obama / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
