Main Line Boomers Protest Fight Against Government Corruption — A horde packed the main road of the Main Line, this morning, June 14, to protest peace, security and the fight against government corruption.
It was the “No Kings” rally on Lancaster Avenue in the Lower Merion section of Ardmore.
Granted it stretch just two blocks from Greenfield Avenue to Cricket Avenue but they were packed.
The people packing them were entirely white and skewed old.
The future looks good for MAGA.
The No Kings crowd was waving American flags almost like it was a Trump rally.
The Philadelphia Main Line remains a bastion of wealth and old money. It is still among the richest places in Pennsylvania.
The No Kings Rally is funded by NGOs that are funded by government grants, that are funded by taxpayers; and a Walmart heiress.
The Trump Administration is turning off the faucet of the NGO gravy hose.
No wonder they are mad.
We saw police barricades on Eagle Road near the Manoa Shopping Center. There were no protesters as had been expected, however, when we drove by shortly before 11 a.m.
Here is video from Lancaster Avenue. The cute chick yelling “Trump, Trump, Trump” was merely trying to trigger the elderly protesters.
Bad girl. Bad.
They could have gotten heart attacks or something. It’s not like they can still drop acid and roll around naked in mud.
One of our many secret correspondents sent us this photo of Pennsylvania National Guard equipment being stationed at a lot in Camp Hill, yesterday, June 13. Was the Shapiro administration expecting trouble?
I Love A Parade As Does The Donald
By Bob Small
Donald Trump is getting a full military parade on his birthday, which is today, June 14.
Most of us get cards or presents only.
This parade is one of the perks of being President. This also the US Army’s 250th anniversary.
”It also marks a rare example of an official military parade taking place inside the United States,” says Lyle Goldstein, aformer US Naval War College professor. “If, as Americans, we were truly confident in our armed forces we wouldn’t need to display our military might.”
He also maintains that we are not keeping pace with China and Russia, in, for instance, the area of hypersonic missiles. One hopes to be corrected on this.
The total forces being called up reportedly are 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven military bands and thousands of civilians” along with 34 horses, two mules and a dog.
There have already been allusions to Hitler, etc.
German philosopher Theodor Adorno says, fascist rituals portrayed the authoritarian leader as both a “superman” and an ordinary, flawed “average person.”
This feels like stretching the allusion.
The parade will include 28 M1A1 Abrams tanks, 28 Stryker armored personnel carriers, 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, four M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzers, as well as military relics like World War II-era Sherman tanks, a B-25 bomber, and a P-51 Mustang single-seat fighter plane, according to Army spokesperson Cynthia Smith.
The Guardian, expectedly, focused on some anti-Trump rhetoric.
“Confidence is silent, and insecurity is loud,” the Louisiana senator John Kennedy told MSNBC. “America is the most powerful country in all of human history and we don’t need to show it off. We’re not North Korea. We’re not Russia, we’re not China and I don’t wanna be.”
However, they also presented the other side, somewhat surprisingly, courtesy of current Fox News Host, Kayleigh McEnany “The Democratic party, they’ve chosen to be an outrage machine at a time when there is outrage fatigue in this country”.
By the way, the only dog marching in the parade is named Doc Holliday.

False Flag For Flag Day? — A nationwide “No Kings” rally is being called for tomorrow, June 14, to protest the impending end of the money milk for political activists.
Appropriately, much of the funding for it is coming from we taxpayers.
The Philadelphia area appears to be a special target with demonstrations specifically scheduled for shopping areas including Manoa and the Springfield Mall.
Will it be an excuse to loot?
Anyway, be wary of false flags. There are reports that demonstrators will be garbed as MAGA while committing acts of mayhem.
OTOH, some are saying Iran will somehow be blamed to provoke a war.
Regardless, stay safe.
False Flag For Flag Day?
Dem Guvs Squirm Over Destructive Sanctuary Policies — Democrat governors Kathy Hochul of New York, Tim Walz of Minnesota, and JB Pritzker of Illinois were called to testify, yesterday, June 12, before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee over their states’ status as sanctuaries for illegals.
The Vigilant Fox posted an excellent summation on X about how it went.
Walz looked like a fool making excuses for Joe Biden’s inability (unwillingness?) to secure the border.
Ms. Hochul, however, topped him.
Under questioning by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a Republican who represents New York’s 21st District, Ms. Hochul confessed to signing on her first day in office Executive Order One which says It is the policy of the state that state officers or employees shall not disclose information to federal immigration authorities for the purpose of federal civil immigration enforcement.
Several times in her testimony she implied the order didn’t mean what it says.
New York cooperates with federal immigration authorities, she said.
She then feigned ignorance over some names that received much publicity in her state.
It was the kind of publicity that one would certainly assume a governor would be aware.
“Do you know who Sakir Akkan is?” she was asked.
“Refresh my recollection,” Ms. Hochul replied.
And it was explained that Akkan was the illegal who kidnapped and raped a 15- year-old in Albany.
She was asked if she knew who Sebastian Zepeta-Calil was.
“I’m sure you’ll tell me,” Ms. Hochul snippily said.
And she was. Calil was the illegal who found a sleeping woman on the subway, lit her on fire, and burned her alive.
Oh, and New York officials rejected a detention order from ICE regarding Calil due to sanctuary state laws.
So much for cooperating, right Guv?
She was also asked about Raymond Rojas Basilo.
She completely ducked giving an answer so the congresswoman again told her.
Basilo was an illegal who molested an 11 year old in her state.
It would have been neat if the committee called Christine Reuther to testify.
Here is the video of the questioning of Kathy Hochul by Elise Stefanik.
