A group of protestors, mostly middle-aged and older whites, took to the streets in Anchorage during the noon hour, advertising their litany of complaints and grievances. Many of them were women, and they arrived in expensive cars to protest. They did not take the bus.
They don’t want government spending to be reduced. They don’t like President Trump. They don’t like Elon Musk. And there were several other placards filling out their complaint list.
It was a protest against everything Trump.
They marched from the Anchorage Performing Arts Center down to L Street, and stood in front of the building that houses congressional and senatorial offices, Peterson Tower.
One sign said, “This is a coup,” while another sign said, “Stop the coup!” It was confusing. They yelled that they want a town hall. The older crowd got their photo ops and then dispersed.
The group was part of national protests organized by a group calling itself 50-50-1. One was planned for Fairbanks, where Mayor David Pruhs said he would host a barbecue for the protesters.
Round up all the ukraine flag wavers and send them to ukraine to fight.
Those who would send others to fight are cowards.
Bravo Bravo guarantee they would not go. I have been to war and it is Hell
I love this idea. In fact, I bet if you pretended to agree with them on the Ukraine, they would be more than happy to fly off.
lol, What a bunch of worthless parasites lol, big deal, so now they can go out and get a REAL job in the private sector now and maybe actually become a productive part of our society.if the real truth be known . , most these loser sweat hogs probably have never had a real lugit job anyways , total losers all of them!!!
Welp, at least they’ve got the U.S. Constitution on their side. That’s about it. What’s been a daunting challenge for me of late is understanding why these folks are so mad at this progress. Fraud, waste and abuses uncovered along with a possible peace deal for ending the proxy war are just a couple of magnificent things. The only thing that makes sense is that these people are directly tied to the shenanigans that are being scrutinized and they’re having difficulty accepting their fate. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching their heads explode though.
I find it interesting that they are protesting those we elected to clean up our government, but are easily overlooking the filth that plagues the very town square they are protesting in.
Like, with that many people coming out, they could all have a trash bag in their hand doing something useful.
What is with their slogan “No Justice No Peace”? Is that their motto? What it sounds like is they don’t want justice or peace. They should volunteer to be on the front lines in Ukraine if that is what they want so bad.
This may be the whimper of a dying animal. Ending the rake-off of federal money to the Left from sources like USAID, the $20 Billion in climate nonsense through EPA and other entities will have a profound impact. We may have a good test case for the proposition that without back-door funding by government, the entire Leftist house of cards will collapse. Let’s do it.
I wish I’d known. My sign would have said, “Change your news channel”
Same here.
The same idiots were in Soldotna. Gave them the bird they deserved.
As a pharmacist, one can really appreciate a Trump presidency. Xanax and Prozac prescriptions are through the roof! Business is booming.
Love MAGA. Good for business, bad for the mentally iil.
If this keeps up, our leftist problems might all take care of themselves without the need for the Bill Gates to further push his depopulation agenda.
Win!
Sounds like some real confused folks.
“……they arrived in expensive cars to protest. They did not take the bus……..”
*Note to self:
Arrive at next protest on foot, limping, in ragged clothes, and bring the great-grandchildren with me……….*
I hope who ever paid for it enjoyed the ride in limos.
I hope there was enough charging stations…
Being held accountable will make any Progressive angry.
But, what about NPR? They should follow the lead and donate them for the cause.
A weird thing the MAGA right is doing on X is a variation of “the law says you have to like me!”. Its adorable, since President Trump (craves approval from theatre and movie folks) and Elon (dweeb, dork, and all around needy baby) shouldn’t be thirsty, but are.
Non-violent protest is protected by the Constitution, whether you like the message or not. The Westboro Baptist Church and the KKK have the same right to assemble as these hippies. If you block entrances, or throw things, or hot people, you will be arrested. If you are just being annoying, that’s free speech, everyone!
Making fun of MAGA isn’t illegal.
Sweetie, try to keep up. Nobody said they couldn’t protest. It is just that they protest to empty buildings (all the Congress critters are in DC today) and they didn’t have a single message that made any sense to anyone watching. If you want to go out and yell at the sky, knock yourself out, but the rest of us have jobs we go to during the day and this silliness is just childish and pointless.
Jimmy, nobody here is in disagreement with this groups right to assemble and stage their protest. Canceling ones right of Assembly is a leftist tactic and is repugnant to the Classical Liberal and Constitutional loving American.
I hope this group continues their protesting, if for no other reason than its great comedy!
Not that I’m defending the Westboro Baptist Church or the KKK but that is not the sentiment of the left they believe they have no rights. So, what is it going to be that rights are evenly distributed or only to those who believe the same thing as You
“A weird thing the MAGA right is doing on X is a variation of “the law says you have to like me!”” Actually, I do the opposite. People have the right to be wrong. ;^)
Jimmy, I agree with you that protesting and making fun of others is not illegal and a time honored American tradition. (Even thought comedians had a really hard time in the woke years finding jokes that did not offend somebody and got them cancelled)
I just think the irony here is delicious.
Here are people, who protest to KEEP and SUPPORT government waste, fraud and abuse.
Then they most likely loudly complain about the price of eggs, Sebastian were you there?
This is the same crowd that preaches tolerance, acceptance and diversity. It is clear they are only tolerant, accepting and diverse to their own brethren. It is a bit pathetic!
The further irony is that you complain others having and voicing an opinion, while you seem to take the right of free speech to besmirch them. But hey it is a free country again!
Jimmy; can you show the class where any Trump supporter said they cannot protest?
Making fun of People with TDS is also not illegal. Though there is a plethora of evidence that you are employ violence against anyone supporting Trump in public.
There is zero evidence of any Trump supporters causing any harm or preventing liberals from speaking their idiotic minds.
I find it amusing that Bots like Jimmy either cannot respond when presented with facts that expose their narrative.
From Wakipaedia, the crowd-biased encyclopaedia:
50501 (originally short for “50 protests, 50 states, one day”) is an ongoing political action organization created to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States. The group has organized a nationwide movement mostly consisting of outraged liberal white women who are driven to envious spite due to their self-induced life dissatisfaction; also known for their overconsumption of white wine, an ethos based on self-elevated moral superiority, and for being selfish lovers.
They are probably sucking up money from USAID.
They need to change the name to 50150.
These “people” are truly the enemy of FreeMen.
They yearn for the State to control FreeMen that will not submit to their whims.
History shows FreeMen should be very wary of these Liberal types – the Maoists, Marxist, Leninists, Stalinists, Castro&Che, Pol Pot, and yes, the National Socialists Party aka Nazis.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
A coup as in the latest of our federal government events. I suppose we won’t recognize it until it has finalized. In the meantime, can we have these type coups happen at the state and municipal level? why stop at the federal level? Arduin, we need you back here!
All sounds very sensible to me, but perhaps a little understated. Note that they were not beating policemen or breaking into Federal buildings, as has been so in style in recent years.
You mean federal police shooting an unarmed civilian? Your entire reality is a sad joke….lay off the LSD and seek therapy.
“beating policemen or breaking into Federal buildings, as has been so in style in recent years.”
I agree WTD sadly it has been in style.
I recall the death of a young man during the summer of love and CHOP in Seattle. Then the murder of a federal security officer at the Oakland Federal building and the burning of a police station in Portland. That does not even count all the property damage inflicted on too many cities and the destruction of livelihoods predominately in some of the poorer neighborhoods or the injured police officers attempting to contain those protests from wreaking further damage.
The real irony here is that these protestors were most likely cheering the “Defund the Police” movement, regardless of the fact that policing is a constitutionally required function of government and supports peace and tranquility. Now they protest ancillary agencies getting defunded for wasting tax payer money on extraneous politically motivated niceties…..go figure!
Nor shooting fireworks at police like in Portland?
I see those pictured and feel safe to assume that a lot of them get a lot of paid time off per year.
( my friend works for The municipality of Anchorage a total combination of 10 weeks off a year paid. His wife works for the federal government and is right there also.) I as a skilled tradesman we get zero. It’s not a hard guess who’s paying for them having 1/5th of every year off with pay.
The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
Pro corruption fart in the storm of liberty. Don’t give them ink time.
This is where the Pied Piper could be useful, no?
Well to do white liberals complaining
Must be a day ending in Y
I have a vision of the planned barbecue. A substantial amount of “Fat” dropping off the department then being barbecued. ‘ Fat’ in the form of excess weight formed from egregious amounts of idle ‘Feed’. and the lack of exercise in the form of non completed assigned ‘Grassing'(Work).
There are times one should practice being a Vegetarian.
Cheers,

The people that arrived in Subarus live in the Turnagain area of Anchorage.
Truth is the only vaccine for TDS and unfortunately it is very slow acting.
Yawn.
Suzanne, any idea if the 50-50-1 organization that funded this event has USAID $$$ connections? Could also be union funded as well.
[…] Story continues […]
50501? More like 5150.
The Jan 6 rioters were also middle aged white women who drive fancy cars…. What’s your point here? It would only be a valid protest if young women in crappy cars attended? Ok Suzanne!
Don’t discourage this type of deranged behavior. If they keep it up, they will continue to lose by even greater margins!
Remember the J6 heroes: peaceful protest doesn’t work.
Excuse me, but J6ers are NOT heroes and their breaking and entering did NOT work. It was a despicable display of the loss of civil discourse in our representative republic and should have never happened! Unfortunately the vengeful treatment most received, also did not meet the our republics threshold of equality under the law.
In other words these are the very people that apparently enjoy having their tax money spent on Transgender crap! They can all pound sand. The free ride is over. Why were they NOT at work? Morons.
Susan…why is it important to emphasis “older whites”. Would you report “older blacks”? Probably not.
Arrived in expensive cars and none rode the bus. I don’t imagine any walked or rode bikes, or even an electric scooter. A lot of Democrats sure got new found wealth during the 4 years of Biden. Those trillions got spread out pretty well.
Who cares. Why even give these people any attention? Don’t report this crap. By writing this article you only gave them a voice. Ignore these morons. They are meaningless and don’t matter. Horrible article!
Normally, I would agree; they should not get any attention at all since that’s the only thing that fuels them. However, they did get attention from other “news” sources that praised them.
They need to be taken down to reality.
Musk Returns
Is that all they got??? It’s laughable. We American’s have grown weary of your nonsense “protests”
Who knew there were so many supporters of funding transgendered mice in Uganda?
Looks like a gathering of geriatric patients trying to find a cause. It’s Berkeley 1968.
Likely mostly Local, State, or Federal workers either working or retired. They can afford to protest, and their income is dependent on milking the taxpayers..
I’m completely ok with this type of demonstration. No road block, no buildings or cars on fire, no flying objects. Personally, I don’t agree with their message, but I guess that’s the point. I’d actually prefer that they make their opinions known, that way I know where they stand.
There is so much mental illness among “older, white adults.” Much of it is manifested through political demonstration with others who are equally ill. It’s a very interesting subtopic and part of my ongoing research. These people are living out their illness in group settings where it is more-less perceived as just a bunch of pissed-off government Democrats acting out. It’s much deeper than that. The disturbances in their heads are part of their upbringing and their being brainwashed by left-wing educators. Unfortunately, mental therapy is usually unobtainable because of their ages. But I will still offer professional services to them.
What do you call a large gathering of old, angry, overweight, blue haired retired schoolteachers? – A Trump protest!!!
They’re coup- coup, not necessarily for cocoa puffs
Make sure not to pass downwind of that stinky bunch
If they would be so kind as to take in at least one homeless person into their home…
