Saturday more than 3,000 "No Kings" rallies will draw out the largest protest in American history.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2026/03/saturday-more-than-3000-no-kings.htmlAnd what will be accomplished?
I certainly don't think this is a waste of time and effort, since I'll be joining in myself. I think it is important to show support by showing up, one more of millions of Americans who see that Trump is trying to destroy this country's long standing democratic republic by subverting its constitution with his own will, while a do-nothing Congress lets him.
The question in the opening paragraph is not merely rhetorical. We've had fifteen months of a President ignoring the Constitution, doing as he pleases and a Congress that isn't exercising the balance of power they have to hold him in check. We also have had a Supreme Court that, with a totally unconstitutional immunity ruling, perpetuated this insanity. These marches and rallies need to do more than just get big turnouts, and give prominent and entitled politicians a speaking platform. They need to make themselves felt among Republican members of Congress and the conservative members of the Supreme Court, in a way that robs them of their political security and puts them on edge as the mid-term elections approach.

Oh, and About the Mid-Terms
The Republicans already know, they are going to lose big. And so they are working as hard as they can on ways to prevent votes being counted for Democratic candidates. We know this. It happened in 2024, when they deliberately targeted the swing states and there is massive evidence they cheated to cost Harris an election she would have won otherwise. It wasn't just voter suppression, there were multiple precincts in which voting machines were programmed to reduce her vote total. We know this because those seven states were the only places where down ballot Democrats outperformed Harris.
There were plenty of warnings and plenty of pleas to challenge the results, but all of the "no mass voter fraud" rhetoric spin by Democrsts had them backed into a corner. So no one did anything about it.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they are going to try and steal this election in every way they can. Anyone who follows this knows that's a fact. They are even telling us how they are going to do it. The response I see is, "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, they're going to cheat." And no one doing anything to prepare, prevent or put a stop to it. If we lose, it will be our fault for letting it happen.

There were a number of veterans at the Puyallup protest today. It was good to see. We took an oath to protect the Constitution. And that oath never expires.
