No kings

  So I hear we are back to having no kings. Protests are being organized. Yes, isn't that something. Well, when protests are organized events you do have to wonder just who is funding that. It's quite a bit different than any spontaneous protest against some policy or action. This whole "no kings" narrative is just silly. Of course we don't have a king, we have a constitutional republic. Three branches of government. Thing is when the congress can't seem to function for whatever reason the executive branch does have certain powers to continue governing. The congress also has the power to overrule that executive branch when they feel it is warranted. The judicial branch just serves as an advisory council, issuing their opinions on the constitutionality of legislation. 

  You know when the colonists began organizing their protests the King called them revolutionaries. Just a bunch of whiners and malcontents. They organized a revolution! And where did the funding come from for that? A man named Haym Salomon and another named Robert Morris where big financiers of the revolution. The countries of Spain and France also contributed significantly to that cause. What actions precipitated that? We all know about taxation without representation and how that is tyranny.     Yes, it was money that started all of that. And so who is financing these organized protests today? I can't say for certain but I do know whoever it is, is expecting a return on their investment. I suspect they, and yes it is more than one, would really like to set themselves up as the King. They objective here is control, that is the purpose of these organized protests, to apply enough political pressure, to cause civil unrest and start a revolution. The only difference today being that group not openly proclaiming they want to establish a new country, no they embrace and cherish our Constitution, out freedom is of paramount importance. They just want a new interpretation of exactly what that constitution says. 

  Well, you know the constitution was written 237 years ago and they didn't have Google or AI to help them with their citations. Those writing that couldn't have known about migrants, borders and international law. And we know they were all bigots and highly prejudicial. But today we are certain when they wrote "all men" that it meant exactly that, all men no matter their preferred pronouns or country of origin. They didn't know about all the other genders either! If you are on American soil, no matter how you got here, you are entitled to every protection afforded by that constitution, bill of rights and every single law of the land! 

  Imagine a nation with independent sovereignty. It has sovereign right in the name. That implies a King or Queen doesn't it? Sovereign does mean, a supreme ruler. The supreme ruler in America is that constitution. A constitution that I and millions of other Americans have taken a oath to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. In that context "all" does mean exactly that, all. There is no King here. So what exactly is the no kings protest protesting? Donald Trump is the short answer. This is what the official website for these protest claim, "protests against Trump and his administration's abuses of power, cruelty and corruption"  In other words the Republican party. The Democratic party hasn't done anything wrong, ever, no abuse of power, no cruelty or corruption. 

  Beyond all that though just what is the goal of these protests? The hope is to rouse the people to revolt against the Republican party. The last time that happened we had a civil war. That was when the Democrats were worried about losing their slave labor pool. Man, that sure was hurting the bottom line. They seceded from the union in a "no kings" protest. They basically rewrote our constitution, even calling it the Constitution of the Confederacy. Slavery was a protected right and states rights were elevated above the central government. As we all know that didn't work out so well, a lack of finances and support, along with a lack of resources doomed that to failure. Plus having brothers shooting at each other created a bit of an issue as well. Not right away, but when the reality of war hits, you begin to reconsider your choices. The democrats have been licking those wounds ever since. 

  What is the big issue right now? Well, we are deporting illegal people from the country and who is going to pick our vegetables. The republicans are also refusing to fund those illegals in the country, refusing to fund LGBTQ+ programs in foreign nations, refusing to provide transgender surgeries for convicted felons in our prisons, and probably worst of all, banning books to kindergarten children regarding their sexual identities. And not only that the republicans are refusing to sign legislation to allow electric vehicles to use the HOV lanes even when their is only one occupant in that vehicle. If it is electric, saving the planet, it should be given special consideration and allowance. Those democrats are refusing to sign any agreement that doesn't allow that! Hey some things you just can't compromise on. 

 Electric is King! Wait, we have no kings in America just democratic policies that should always be approved and adhered to. If they aren't, we won't sign any legislation, we're shutting down this government and protesting. We will blame the republicans. 

                                                                                        

An actual King in his electric car. I think he can drive in any lane he wants to because, well he's the king.
