The No Kings protests in Alaska were peaceful on Saturday, with no reported violence or vandalism. Large crowds of people unwilling to accept the outcome of the November election gathered under fair skies in downtown in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, and in other towns around the state to express their displeasure with President Donald Trump, whom they describe as a king.
At the Colony Days Parade in Palmer, it was a celebration of Americana, with tractors, bagpipers, and other classic fare. The Colony Days Parade is an annual tribute to the farming heritage in the Mat-Su Valley, where 203 families from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan came in 1935 to develop an agricultural base for the territory.
Protesters who gathered in Palmer were polite, and the main protest took place at the Glenn Highway, after protest organizers gave their “takeover the Colony Days Parade” idea a second thought.
Although the election is not until next year, candidate for governor Bernadette Wilson was spotted with a trio of rigs and supporters in the parade.
In Anchorage, the No Kings protesters centered themselves in front of the Peterson Tower, where the congressional delegation has its offices, in the heart of the very liberal section of Anchorage. The protest drew about 2,000 people.
In Fairbanks, a sizable group of anti-Trump protesters took to the streets. They were generally cheerful and enjoying the pleasant weather while they exercised their Fist Amendment rights, protesting and vilifying an elected president they call a “king.”
In the nation’s capital, a parade in celebration of the US Army’s 250th birthday took place, along with other celebrations of the event, such as a demonstration jump by the Golden Knights parachute team.
“Tonight’s #Army250 parade is a reminder that we’ve always been there for America, and we always will. THIS WE’LL DEFEND,” the Army wrote on its X page.
Hilarious that you claim people can’t accept the results of the last election when most of your readers still can’t admit the results of the 2020 election.
It is strange to characterize the protests as not accepting the outcome of the election. No one is claiming the outcome of the election is to be questioned or is not legitimate. They just do not agree with the policies of the current administration.
Thank you, fellow Alaskans, for being classy…well done, protesters!
I just watched the U.S. Army parade and associated show on Fox. It was an amazing show. I am proud of my country, proud of my President and proud of the time I spent in the U.S. Army.
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! Happy Flag Day!
Oh come on are we really that surprised Anchorage was protesting. Lets face facts, if God were to give Alaska and enema he would stick the nozzle in Anchorage. Specifically the assembly chamber were most of this crap originated. Lets thank all the leftist fools who have destroyed a once beautiful city
Pink hair, protests and hatred of everyone contrasted with fun, benevolence and love of everyone.
And the stupid Israelis got us into another war in the Middle East. Perfect timing. These parasites are sucking the life blood out of our nation. It was all Jews leading the No kings parades too, just like they lead the open borders policy. The jews need to be deported and banned from US politics /soil permanently. They are all either bloody bolsheviks or bloody Zionists. It’s really no wonder why they have been kicked out of host nations 109 times yet always play the victim.
The only thing more despicable is the bought neocons that provide cover for them.
Collective TDS. Suffering together. Misery loves company. Trump Derangement Syndrome is now an identifiable mental disorder and it affects about 40% of America. The prognosis is not good either. Early Alzheimers. Turbo cancers. Anger. Confusion. Low immunity. Early death.
They are so full of hate they even murder each other. The demons are strong in these….people?
I finally got out of my basement and went to the “No King” protest in Fairbanks. It reminded me of the radical late 60’s, except the protesters now have snow white hair, or, no hair at all. All the old pot smokers of three generations ago were barely creeping around, limping, using walkers, getting some assistance from their snowflake grandkids.
I saw lots of wrinkles and angry people. Envy everywhere. My mission was to count the numbers, which I inflated by about 1000. Of course, the bottom line is that I desperately need donations to run my blog. My people (Democrats) are not very generous. But today I made a few bucks. It pays to lie and pretend to be homeless. Now I have money to buy three or four days worth of spirits. Now I can go back to my basement and write up another BS story to keep the crazies satisfied, at least for a few weeks. Having TDS and being marginally functional at the keyboard once or twice a week is still better than pushing daisies on Birch Hill.
