On Saturday, our great nation proudly celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—a tribute to the brave men and women who have defended freedom since 1775. However, amidst this grand display of American pride, a band of unpatriotic protesters plans to hijack the occasion with their “No Kings” protests. This is the latest attempt from the far-left to undermine and undermine everything our military stands for, all under the guise of fighting against what they claim to be “authoritarianism.”
Protests are set against the backdrop of a national celebration, but what does this really say about the state of our democracy? Led by a billionaire heiress and bolstered by organizations with ties to radical leftist agendas, the “No Kings” movement is clearly more about attacking America than honoring it. Just like the misguided protests against corporations that dared speak out, this event showcases the ugly truth: the left continues to lash out against anyone who doesn’t echo their mantra. Walmart has attempted to distance itself from Christy Walton’s full-page ad promoting these protests, but the damage is done. They’ve allowed a wealthy elite to launch an attack on the very fabric of our nation.
The protestors claim to be defenders of the Constitution. But let’s get real. Their rallies are not about standing up for our rights; they are about eroding the power the majority of Americans entrusted to President Trump and his ideas. Instead of honoring the sacrifices made by our military, these protests focus on demonizing the leadership that has kept our country safe. They scream “No Kings” as if they have forgotten the history of tyranny and oppression that shaped our nation’s founding. Their hypocrisy is staggering.
The partners behind this protest include groups like the ACLU and various far-left unions that have proven time and again to be more interested in political power than true civil liberties. With shadows of “dark money” loitering behind their claims of grassroots support, these so-called movements reveal their true motives: a desire for chaos and division rather than unity and respect. If they’re so concerned about authoritarianism, they should look in the mirror and see the totalitarian tendencies of their own ilk who seek to impose their views on the rest of us.

As thousands come together in Washington, D.C. for the Army’s proud celebration, security measures like metal detectors and drones overhead are painfully necessary. This is a response to the aggression and unrest fostered by the left’s anti-American rhetoric. Meanwhile, President Biden, who has shown complete disregard for individual freedoms in his handling of COVID-19, has only added fuel to the fire with his own draconian mandates. Ironically, it is his administration that should wear the badge of authoritarianism, with efforts to control our lives through unwanted health mandates.
It’s time for the silent majority to stand up and push back against this misguided notion that protests targeted at celebrating our military and constitutional democracy are in any way justified. Do we really want to see our proud celebrations overshadowed by the raucous cries of anti-American protestors? The answer is a resounding no. It’s time to take back the narrative and ensure that the blessings of liberty are upheld—not vilified—by the very people who claim to protect them. Are we really going to let a band of leftist protestors hijack our celebrations of freedom? The answer must be a united and unwavering no.
