As the nation prepares to mark Flag Day, June 14, and the coinciding 250th anniversary party for the United States Army, two very different American camps are developing:
One, which includes a military celebration this week in the nation’s capital to honor the Army. The other, a nationwide protest by Democrats and Marxists that may turn violent in cities, as the weekend protests in Los Angeles County did over the weekend and Monday.
250th anniversary of the US Army, in DC
The Army is hosting a week-long 250th birthday celebration that began Sunday, culminating June 14 on the National Mall. Key highlights for the week include:
June 11 at 6:30 pm – Army Birthday Twilight Tattoo at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, VA
June 13 at 7 pm – Army Birthday Run/Walk at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, VA
June 13-15 at 9:30 am – Philadelphia’s Army 250th Birthday Celebration
- June 14 at 8:15 am – Arlington National Cemetery wreath-laying
- June 14 at 9:30 am – Fitness events, followed by the public “Army Birthday Festival” at 11 am, featuring soldier meet‑and‑greet, equipment demonstrations, a cake cutting, astronaut guests, Medal of Honor recipients and military displays
- June 14 at 6:30 pm, a grand parade comprising 6,600 soldiers in both historic uniforms and and modern uniforms, military vehicles, and flyovers
- The evening wraps with a Golden Knights parachute jump, an enlistment/re-enlistment ceremony, fireworks, and music
The parade itself takes place from the Pentagon through Constitution Avenue and is intended to honor the Army’s 250th birthday. However, it coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, which has led Marxists to link the military parade with what they view as fascism.
No Kings & 50501 nationwide protests
Also on Saturday, nationwide anti-Trump movement led by “No Kings” and affiliated Marxists groups like 50501 and Indivisible is staging mass protests in over 1,500 cities, including several in Alaska.
Organizers say the demonstrations are aimed at combating authoritarianism and resisting what some view as a spectacle centered on Trump, rather than a neutral military anniversary. Notably, there is no formal protest planned in Washington, DC, as the protesters do not want to clash with the actual US Army.
Though both events coincide with Flag Day, which is traditionally a civic holiday, people will be observing it in vastly contrasting frames:
- Patriots and supporters of the Army parade see it as a historic nonpartisan tribute to service and sacrifice.
- Marxist opportunistically are using it as a politically charged spectacle tied to Trump.
On June 14, downtown Anchorage will not only be filled with demonstrators, the Delaney Park Strip will host a Juneteenth Citywide Celebration (12-6 pm), marking the occasion four days ahead of the official June 19 holiday. The festival features events spread across Saturday and Sunday, including live performances, food, vendors, and booths.
More about the planned riots and cautions about safety in cities are in this report:
Its really strange, where were the No Kings protesters when Biden was ramming his covid clot shot/ turbo cancer gene therapy down America’s Throats?
Uh huh… you Commies make me sick.
Those Mexican flags you see may become permanent if immigration policy is not enforced. People south of the border reproduce in large numbers and can win or take over another country on numbers alone without war.
It is not the Mexicans using the flags. It is posers who support domestic terrorism and who support drug cartels and human traffickers. These are weaklings posing as patriots who are trying to destroy our country from within and they are supported by the MSM and the Democrat party. Don’t let the use of the Mexican flag fool you. They are using the flag as cover, a scapegoat.
I fully support the Trump admin and our find LEOs and military to perform the correction to our country.
Time to take our home back from those who hate us!
The media is mostly responsible for all these up risings everywhere. Be careful what you transmit. I believe a mass casualty episode is near and the media will be responsible most of what they publish is dung.
I sorta like the article I read this morning suggesting that the rioters be sprayed with blue dye giving the authorities easy pickings to arrest the fools.
Great idea, that’s probably why they won’t do it. I believe it’s done in Japan and So. Korea.
Can we deport anyone who does not wave an American flag at these riots?
