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?
Can we have another 1970 Kent State function but this time like, biggly?
Do not tease me like that without buying me dinner first.
Sadly U were not at Blanket Hill on MAY 4TH when the Guard had been called to protect the Kent State Campus. The Campus ROTC building had been burned down during peaceful protests.
Many of our friends drove for hours to Campus to pick up their students. Classes were cancelled. No on line exams. The academic quarter was ended.
Imagine going to Campus on May 4th to pick up your dead child….
The fact that you would wish for something like that, speaks volumes about you.
The fact you love rioting speaks more about you.
Welcome to the new Russia, or North Korea. Gotta love a good military parade.
More like the old Russia when the communists started riots for the sole purpose of instituting their socialist paradise. Had the Tsars given the “protestors” the smack down they so richly deserved, the world would be a very different place.
Keep your bear spray handy
BTW everyone, thanks for contributing your tax dollars through NGOs funding these organizations who will be disrespecting our nation on our flag day. Luckily, the evil Elon wasn’t able to completely stop the flow of money.
Americans will celebrate Flag Day and the Birth of the US Army.
Leftist jackholes who are hell bent on destroying western civilization will riot and wave foreign flags.
My favorite is when they wave those Che Guevara flags, you know the kind you can buy from the downtown Seattle public market! Because Che was such an upstanding racist, homophobic, mass murdering humanitarian.
Viva la Hipocresía!
Trump will have the USSR and North Korea drooling with envy with that parade! I wonder if they’re teaching our troops to goose step as well? Thankfully, it’s also in the name of fiscal responsibility and cutting out fraud abuse and waste. He’s always just winning, isn’t he? It will all be worth it though, if it strokes the Dear Leaders ego.
Cman; why do you love being a perpetual victim?
Chicano gang leaders in Compton, CA put out a statement that their areas are riot free zones. They literally said anyone attempting to start a riot will be summarily executed.
.
Safest place in CA seems to be the gang controlled areas. Funny how when the government refuses to keep order and control the lawless, the people step in and do it. Reminder to everyone, the law does not exist to protect the people from the criminals. It exists to protect the criminals from the people.
