The Left to Take to the Streets Again. This time on May Day. Figures.
That small percentage of Americans — whom I refer to as the “perma-pissed” — are doing what they do best, protesting. Make no mistake, I fully support the right to peacefully protest. The First Amendment is not a suggestion. It is the bedrock of our Republic. But let us call things what they are. When the left loses at the ballot box, they do not head to the drawing board for better ideas or broader appeal. They head to the streets, turning frustration into spectacle, often with a side order of disruption that tests the limits of “peaceful.”
In past commentaries, I have written about the left’s love of demonstrations, public protests and street-theater. The vast majority of left-wing protesters take to the streets peacefully. But there are those within that camp who eagerly take up violence. Some do it for malignant purpose – to loot stores or injure perceived enemies (usually the police). Others do it simply to irrationally rampage against their own fears, insecurities, sense of victimhood and emotional goblins.
On the left there has developed a highly organized “industry” of protest. It has structure and financing. This is not spontaneous outrage bubbling up from the grassroots. It is a well-oiled machine with professional organizers, donor pipelines, training manuals and media coordination. And it kicks into high gear whenever voters elect people from the conservative Republican side of the political divide. Those on the radical left do not believe that elections should have consequences when the consequences are not to their liking.
Consider the so-called Women’s March – or “Mothers’ March” as some reframed it – on the day after Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration. Millions turned out in cities across the country, many wearing those ridiculous pink “pussyhats.” Organizers framed it as a spontaneous uprising of women defending dignity against a sexist president.
In reality, it was a rapid mobilization by seasoned left-wing networks reacting to Hillary Clinton’s loss. Co-chairs included figures like Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, with backing from progressive nonprofits and activist coalitions. The message was clear. We lost the election, so we will dominate the streets.
As is most often the case, the protest had little impact on policy. They do it because it makes them feel good. I have occasionally described it as “civic masturbation”.
(For the record, one must draw the distinctions between today’s run-of-the-mill left-wing protests and the civil rights movement. Today’s protests are over differences of policy –which should have been largely settled by the elections. On the other hand, the civil rights protests were in response to a gross denial of constitutional rights by the Democratic Party’s institutionalized racism – and generally caused by hostile and violent government or government-tolerated violence. That is not what we are seeing today. But I digress.)
Today’s protests are fueled by policy disagreements – exacerbated by Trump Derangement Syndrome. We see this dynamic at work in the institutionalization of the absurd “No Kings Day.” Whatever one might think of Trump’s use of presidential authority, he is not a king – not even remotely.
What began as scattered anti-Trump actions has morphed into a recurring national ritual of mass mobilization. The March 2026 edition reportedly drew millions across thousands of events, coordinated under the banner of rejecting “kings” in America – a dramatic, albeit highly hyperbolic, framing for policy disagreements over immigration, crime, foreign affairs and executive power.
Organizers like Indivisible, MoveOn and 50501 drove the effort, with Indivisible often listed as a lead coordinator. Funding trails lead to familiar networks such as the Open Society Foundations tied to George Soros, the Arabella Advisors dark money complex and even foreign-linked streams. A Fox News investigation highlighted a broader ecosystem of roughly 500 groups with combined annual revenues of more than $3 billion backing these actions, including overlaps with socialist and communist-aligned groups.
The next “take to the streets” event is scheduled for May 1– with calls for a “day without workers” — “no work, no school, no shopping.” (If they have any success at all, it will be a great day to go shopping. No crowds. No lines. No crowded restaurants. But I digress.)
Organizers from the No Kings coalition, including Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg, have explicitly pivoted post-March events to build May Day actions. The coalition pulls in labor unions like the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA), some AFL-CIO locals, along with groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition, CodePink, People’s Forum and elements tied to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. Funding networks include not only Soros-linked philanthropy but also Neville Roy Singham, an American tech billionaire and self-described communist living in China, whose money has flowed to these revolutionary socialist entities. Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has funneled millions through vehicles like the Berger Action Fund to activist nonprofits involved in the broader ecosystem. Dark money pass-throughs like the Tides Foundation and Arabella network further lubricate the machine. These aren’t mom-and-pop operations; they’re professional outfits with budgets, lawyers, digital tools and trained seasoned agitators.
It is no small irony that the collective left has selected May 1st as their next outing – May Day, the International Day of Celebration by the Communist world. In the Soviet era, Red Square parades featured tanks and missiles under portraits of Lenin and Stalin. China, Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam still treat it as a state holiday glorifying the proletariat under party control. American leftists may wrap their events in rhetoric about “workers over billionaires” and “dignity,” but choosing the communists’ calendar date sends a disturbing message. It aligns with groups openly embracing socialist revolution, even as they protest a democratically elected administration.
This protest industry thrives on peddling perpetual grievance. Losses at the ballot box – such as Trump’s 2016 or 2024 victories – trigger not introspection but knee-jerk mobilization. Elections are supposed to settle disputes in a republic. And we can all celebrate that Americans have a constitutional right to free speech and assembly when displeased with the actions of government. But the perma-pissed fringe minority, amplified by big money and professional organizers, disrupts daily life, strains police resources and erodes public trust. Peaceful assembly is one thing. Coordinated efforts that flirt with shutdowns, property damage or revolutionary rhetoric are another.
Americans value liberty, including the right to dissent. But we also value law and order, fair elections with policy consequences and the constitutional process of government. The left’s protest strategy hasn’t delivered policy wins proportional to the chaos. Rather, it has polarized the country further. If they want real change, the ballot box remains the proper venue – not May Day marches echoing communist pageantry, not ridiculous “No Kings” theater, and not another cycle of urban unrest. The rest of us will keep working, voting and building. The perma-pissed can keep marching. History suggests the streets rarely rewrite what the voting booth decides. Thank God.
So, there ‘tis.
We call them Kingless Rallies. You like a good rally, right?
“But we also value law and order.” Larry, please, after the 1/6 pardons you cannot say you value law and order OR that you support our police. Not for years.
“The left’s protest strategy hasn’t delivered policy wins proportional to the chaos.” Have you seen the special elections and the resulting policy shifts? Chaos? You are led by the Felon King of Chaos.
Have you checked the funding? It seems for Democrats, chaos is cash.
Pretty sure that you can only cheat your way to a win.
Dunger a no king rally is a waste of time. Nobody is trying to be the king of America. So go find something useful to do. Like get republicans elected and MAGA. Promote election integrity, gun rights and prolife
frank danger your a fucking idiot moron
boone: should that be hyphenated?
let me know when you find something intelligent to say, on topic. I already know you have a certain dislike for me. But how about sticking to views on the subject instead of your strange focus on me.
John: no thanks. Way to win friends and influence people.
I dunno; think the special election results certainly don’t say that. I just hope they don’t have too many and burn out. They are fun, quite the party.
I made my case of why I thinks he’s the Felon King; you don’t persuade me otherwise but I respect your opinion.
Telling me what to do is kinda dumb. I can support 2 out of three there. But our definitions will differ. Prolife is a no for the same reason as don’t tell me what to do.
And really; should a guy named John call me Dunger? Flush off buddy go flush yourself!
Just don’t call your daughter a cunt. And no telling what to do. I want people to do what they want. Just suggestion. But Trump was wrongly accused. But he beat the bitches. That’s really good
John, I don’t have a daughter, but if you met me, if you said that, what do you expect as a result?
Not a suggestion, it was a demand, but I accept your retraction.
I have not a clue what cases you are talking about with Trump? And while there was some spanking involved, there is no accusation of physical abuse except by his first wife, but an acrimonious divorce with much condemnation, retraction, etc. She finally fell down a flight of stairs; that’s not what you meant, right? But EJ Carroll won big. Millions big. Trump is still appealing, but he’s got big bucks tied up in bond over the loss. Stormy Daniels won, although not sure I would call it big. It was $130K.
You can feel he’s wrongly accused, for what I do not know or you need to clarify. Quite a few women and cases.
$130.00. Trump wouldn’t even miss that. But the Carrol case is still troubling. No witnesses to back up her story. And she has been known to accuse other men of sexual misconduct. I still think that the jury was stacked against Trump because that’s how the left operates. But if that ever happened to me I promise you that my name would be a household word for the next few generations. Who knows. I could write a book about it. I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m threatening anyone. But all jokes aside, I can’t help but notice that you have a very different view for the resigned California congressman.
John, good point, sure, Trump won’t miss $130K, especially since i’ts really your money as I am pretty sure his PAC picked up the check as he grifts you to pay for his sins. Although, it’s gratifying to see this cad charged $130K while outed publically for some spanking sex, one time, while Melania is breastfeeding the Barron; must be the art of the deal? Deal me out.
I am glad you are troubled about EJ Carroll. I think you should really think about the stupidity of saying: “No witnesses to back up her story” in that you’re setting such a high bar basically means basically few raped women can come forward given rape is generally without witnesses. In Trump’s case, he brought no witnesses to absolve him, not even a character witness (couldn’t find any?), nor testify on his own behalf (imagine that “plead the fifth” festival). Carroll brought quite a few that said: “yup, he did similar heinous acts with me.” Trump himself said the famed “grab em by the pussy” line which, amazingly descriptive, is exactly what he did her. And others. He did not challenge a single accuser in court. Jury stacked? More like TACO. Only one person needed to hang the trial and I guarantee, based on statistics and demographics, there was one or more Republicans in that pool. I would have to expect his lawyers made sure of that, unless incompetent.
Other men: again, you seem to have a lack of knowledge about rape to the point of tilting towards the rapist by making coming forward a herculean task. Did you know that nearly 1 in 2 women are subject to sexual harassment or assault and 1 in 5 face completed or attempted rape. Gee, with those statistics, how many repeats would you expect? Perhaps she advertises ez sex, wannabee victim, or both, but that’s no defense for the crime. One of her accused was named by 13 other women. Millions flew as he and Paramount paid the tab. Seems pretty solid. Camp Counselor at age 12, previous husband, and she names 21 “hideous men” in her life. Perhaps hard for you and I to understand but ask the women in your life. I think you will be shocked at the facts and the quantity of occurrences.
The bottom line is prior acts are generally not a condition of innocence or guilt of the current defendant, his or hers, but can be used to show a trend, a proclivity, is.
Again, reality check. He says he does this stuff. Many others say he did this stuff to them. He is Epstein’s best friend for years; Epstein dies in prison on Trump’s watch. He lets Maxwell go to Club Fed. His first wife accused him of rape, then recanted for a huge divorce settlement. He has more accusations than Carter has pills, the worst is his peeping Uncle Tom act at the beauty pageants, Miss Teen et al, where he made the claim to peek because it was his show….. Sure sounds like he’s got the need to do the deed. And he boasts about it later too.
As to Swalwell, besides saying innocent-before-proven guilty, the evidence looked damning, and that all these blokes should face the full extent of the law, and punishment — throw the book at them, I am really not sure what you mean you noticed. I figured as much given how fast Democrats cut the cord. Republicans like you are slow to the line on this shit. Perhaps no witnesses means he’s innocent for Republicans? I honestly think you need to rethink that one. And you leave out Gonzales, oh my, that’s a story. It’s got gay people! And Republican Mills, who is still fat, dumb, and happy, in Congress as Johnson slow boats him through the ethics committee to retain his seat and vote, a shameful display by a supposed Christian. There’s even bruises, your witnesses, and a confession in that one, but noooooooo. He’s still a Republican representative that you Republicans retain in office, make us pay his salary, the whole nine yards.
Hope that helps, but really man, check that witness and multiple accusations at the door. At least before you tell your wife, girlfriend, or daughter that’s how you see it.
Ok Dunger. Let’s not make sure that guilt isn’t established. Any women want to charge me with sexual assault? Go for it. That’s a good way to get rid of a guy that you don’t like. If it was proven that Trump was guilty I would have no more use for him. But he said she said shouldn’t be allowed to bring a guilty verdict. But as for losing respect for Trump, I damned sure wouldn’t vote for a democrat. Even if they were blood relatives. Especially the cackling cunt. If I or anyone else makes allegations I should have to prove it. Trump’s Jean Carrol case wasn’t proven. And I wouldn’t pay that fucking bitch a dime.
John, are you off meds? You saying, “Let’s not make sure that guilt isn’t established,” is a double-negative of the delusional kind given we are SURE guilt has been established, appealed, and established again. Unless you don’t believe in our justice system as a determinant of guilt. You claim the deck was stacked, but you have zero PROOF.
You guys are big on being the law and order party, but get a decision you don’t like and suddenly the case isn’t established, the jury is stacked, the judge is an activist, girls just want to get rid of guys they don’t like, and since Trump said he’s innocent, he must be, even if proven guilty….amazing, weird, delusional.
As far as “Any women want to charge me with sexual assault? Go for it,” I have not a clue what skeleton in your closet you are referring to, in the plural. And “That’s a good way to get rid of a guy that you don’t like” is the ole rich-guys victimhood ploy that the gold diggers are a coming, they are everywhere. Might be true, but you have no proof, again. And when you say; ‘If it was proven that Trump was guilty I would have no more use for him” where you lie to yourself. He is guilty, a jury of peers, and all your screaming, insinuating, accusing, does not change that. Guility, guilty, guilty. And the guy Is a fucking felon, so is rape really a bridge too far.
“But he said she said shouldn’t be allowed to bring a guilty verdict.” Yeah, he says a lot of things that are not true and sometimes outright bogus. The Carroll case was proven, if you chipped in to support Trump, you will personally pay, and how can you call her a bitch — for what?
Did you ask your mother, wife, sister, daughter, about their sexual abuse? As God’s gift to women, or cunts as you like to call them, I expect you to get an education, unless they are too afraid to let you know the truth.
Frank why does some people call you Dunger?
Alvin: ask them. They lower themselves by demeaning with their ad hominem attacks while unable to make their points with facts, experts, and sources. When.you are incapable of argument and incompetent to debate; attack the person.
Dunger you lied again. The rallies of the left are almost always themed with violent rhetoric and more physical violence than the good people on the right
Paul Getsoffsniffingdung: I think you need to prove the first lie to be able to say again when you don’t prove, or provide evidence for this one. You find me one NO KINGS RALLY with more violent rhetoric than the 1/6/2021 rally a mere five years ago where they said:
“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
“We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol… you have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”
“If we’re wrong, we will be made fools of,” he said. “But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail. So let’s have trial by combat.”
“The people who did nothing to stop the steal. This gathering should send a message to them: This isn’t their Republican party any more. This is Donald Trump’s. If you’re gonna be the zero and not the hero, we’re coming for you and we’re going to have a good time doing it!”
And great violence did ensue.
Paulie: I suggest you stay on point and on the issues and leave the personal stuff at the door. You spend all your time here bashing me while saying nothing of value for the subject at hand. That really sucks and is deplorable.
Dunger trump’s guilt wasn’t proven. At age 12 I was hauled into juvenile court and judged guilty by a goddamned liar who said that he saw me throw a rock through a neighbor window. And I really didn’t do it. Six weeks community service and 1 year probation. And a loss of respect and reputation. And I really was innocent. So yeah, sometimes a number of people can get together and lie on someone. No system is perfect. But the Bible speaks of 2 or more wittnesses But even the lying commies during the Russia hoax couldn’t stop Trump. And unless necessary proof that is substantial is given, all of you commie bastards can kiss our maga ass.
John, yes it happens, and yes, OJ was guilty and faced jury nullification, works both ways.
My BIL got set up in a drug bust in the 70’s. We were long-time DC types with legal chops, got a great lawyer, and blew the cops out of the water. STILL — like you, affected his life trying to become a teacher. Sucked even though we won.
Yet your accuser was more believable than you, or you were less believable, or your lawyer sucked not to see it coming. You all had to know what he was going to say before he said it. How could your lawyer not be prepared for a lie? Did he call any rebuttal witnesses to help you? How could you get hung on a he said, she said?
But in the case of Trump, Trump said he liked to do it and they let him. His own words hung him.
Lisa Birnbach and Carol Martin testified that Carroll told them about the sexual assault shortly after it occurred in the mid-1990s highlighting the occurrence in time. Did they lie? Could not Trump prove it?
Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff testified regarding separate alleged sexual assaults by Trump, used to show a pattern of behavior. Did they lie? Could Trump not prove it?
Testimony was provided by clinical psychologist Dr. Leslie Lebowitz and sociology professor Ashlee Humphreys.
E. Jean Carroll herself testified, undergoing nearly three days of questioning with a brutal tirade from Trump’s lawyers. Trump called no experts to refute them, so I guess they told the truth.
Trump’s legal team rested their case without calling any witnesses to testify in person. Trump never took the stand as Carroll had. He had nothing to refute, nothing to say, he did not even try to convince the jury.
I think you need to read the transcript to see the stories told; stories that the jury where you can be certain one or more Republicans sat who could have hung the jury easy.
And fuck off with your “kiss my ass” threats; you’re not scaring anyone, just showing how weak you and your arguments are.
One other thing. After the case, since Trump was not guilty on the rape charge, just sexual abuse, Trump lodged a defamation suit over the word “rape.” The judge said: DENIED, because only the statute of limitations saved him from a rape charge, that he was guilty of “digital rape,” fingers up the vagina, and that’s in the court record, for all time, now, as well. Only because the mastermind Trump asked for it. Really asked for it.
I don’t know. Twelve people found him guilty. The judge in his counter-defamation-suit said he was guilty of more, and only the statute of limitations saved him. His appeal, using immunity, was denied. His appeal on the money, was denied. He is at the SCOTUS, hearings are over, and expect the decision any day now. This decision will be whether or not the SCOTUS will even hear the case. Typically only 1-2% get granted, but this is Trump, this is the President, so who knows.
Three days of lies. Just like the lying cock tease who lied about judge Kavanaha
And John’s breakdown is complete with nothing left than a personal attack by a man incapable and incompetent to make his point Just any sheeple who believes Trump no matter what the courts and evidence proves as truth in reality.
He can prove no lies but still willing to accuse because that’s the man he is and wants to be. A choice. Next will probably be another threat. As is his way.
What evidence? Hillary was said to have destroyed subpoenaed emails. Is there evidence of that or just Marxist assholes trying to keep that bitch out of prison? And I don’t care if trump ass raped Carrol. Nobody proved it. I hope you are in the same position someday. But Dunger has friends in low places.
Crapper John: again, are you off meds/ Hillary what? Trump ass raped Carroll? And you hope I get ass raped? ding, ding, ding, we have our threat; the organ grinder’s monkey performs as expected.
Toilet boy: Trump was held liable for sexual abuse and defamation. He lost his first appeals; the supreme court will decided whether they hear the case any day now. He lost his countersuit on defamation over the word “rape” where the judge said it was “digital rape,” and only the statute of limitations saved Trump from the rape charge that it was in the common sense of the word.
The evidence showed he got her alone in the dressing room, he slammed her up against the wall, he lifted her dress, put his hand down her pantyhose, and then up her vagina. Other witnesses confirmed similar acts showing his pattern of behavior that his own words confirmed he thinks they let him grab them by the pussy. No matter that you think there is no evidence, the court, the jury, rational people, believe there’s enough evidence to hold him libel. So did the appeals court.
Trump brought no witnesses, no character witnesses, actually offered no defense witnesses except some lame experts I think.
Trump’s current appeal, if you were smart enough not to look, at the SCOTUS does not dispute the evidence, it says Trump has Presidential immunity and, as King, has immunity over these acts. It does not dispute the acts.
John, you appear not able to prove your case, but continue on changing topic, this time to Hillary, marxist assholes, and my ass. None of that exonerates Trump.
Somewhere along your deplorable attacks, you claim I lie. Once again, you say it, but you offer no proof of it. Not even a good try.
The case still wasn’t proven. And the old bitch would get nothing if I were Trump. My give-a-shitter isn’t broken. I never did own one
Seth: when you lose, it’s not proven.
The court found him libel.
The court upheld that on appeal.
It’s at the Supremes to see if they will even hear it. Any day now. But that decision is not on the facts; it’s on Presidential immunity. Trump gave up on the facts. TACO.
You are delusional if you believe the case is unproven and there is no way you can prove otherwise.
BUSTED: seek mental health care for delusional thinking.
