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.
Even the Democrats know that 2020 was nothing but election fraud. Biden got 80 million votes while campaigning out of his Alzheimer’s basement. Americans aren’t that stupid. Joe Biden literally brought this country to it’s knees. Along with his Marxist cohorts and ensemble of radical fascists and cultists. Thank God for
Donald J. Trump to come along and rescue our great country. And all you can do is complain about “No King?”
We are all riding in the train of our new King. Damn proud too.
No King Day is actually on July 4th, spread the word.
What would satisfy you here, cman?
Should every article discuss all events back to the beginning of time?
.
The statement is correct. People cannot accept the outcome of the last election. Just because a previous election (2016, 2020, 2000 spring to mind in recent history), does not mean the author should not say it.
There’s a huge difference between not liking the results of an election and denying the results altogether. I would think you would be capable of understanding what I was trying to say there, but maybe not.
Look at the unhinged reply from
“Bob” if you still can’t understand the disparity. Even 5 years later, you can still feel his unreasoned rage at a result he is absolutely incapable of accepting.
I don’t deny the results of the 2024 election just because I didn’t like the all too predictable result.
Missed the point there, cman.
.
Suzanne is correct. People cannot accept the results of the 2024 election. That remains a fact regardless of previous elections. My question was pretty straight forward.
.
What would satisfy you?
Are you going to require all writers of articles on MRAK to discuss all elections in recent history where there was a dispute over the results in order to avoid your scorn?
Both you and Suzanne are incorrect. I know of almost no Democrats that deny that Donald Trump won the 2024 election. I’m not sure what’s so difficult for you to comprehend about that.
And apparently many Democrats think a King was elected (which is a weird thing to think, but Democrats sure make a point of believing weird things nowadays…I digress) even though their candidate received exactly zero votes to be President until November 2024 and only after the sitting President was removed from running, in fact she hadn’t received a single vote for anything since 2016. So there is an established large contingent of left leaning folks who simply disregard basic fact Hillary Clinton still believes the 2016 election was stolen from her, Stacy Abraham’s believes hpthe elections she lost were stolen from her, and many many Democrats believe the same thing.
Does it have to be an outright denial?
Look at their actions, and read between the lines.
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.
I would say they simply are doing what they’re told. A lot of protestors don’t even understand the policies.
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.
All right now Johnny I want you to step out of your prescription medicine-induced haze, and look around you because this is Alaska and you need to separate that from your fantasies.
Thanks for reminding me that this is Alaska, although I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.
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.
You are one ignorant puppy. Deceived you are.
In Fairbanks, when the left marches, it is led by UAF professors. Unfortunately, their influence is growing, and Nat is not alone in holding stupid, unreasoned and illogical, fascist/communist opinions created by the devil to overthrow America.
I often wonder if you are this ill or if you’re a child desperate to be noticed.
Neither is appealing.
nat, You are awash in anti-Semitism.
How dare you. A jewish man loaned George Washington the money it took to fight the battle of Yorktown. That brave Jewish man only demanded 7% interest from the head of american freemasonry and the nominal fee of 20,000 acres of land.
The Jewish people suffered as hard as anyone else and barely scraped by. They only had interest payments from the government and land speculation to survive on until they could continue importing and selling African slaves for another 80 years.
Please tell us, once again, how you and those who hold your views aren’t antisemitic.
Suzanne,
I am surprised to see that Nat’s comment was approved for posting. It starts as a comment on the Israeli government, which is fine, but quickly devolves into a really horrible antisemitic rant. I don’t know what your policy is on publishing racist and antisemitic speech but if that post doesn’t cross a line, what does? You should take it down.
You are correct. Sometimes the really bad stuff slips by me. -sd
Suzanne:
I say let the racists rant to a certain extent. I want to know who the worst of the worst are.
Jean is not wrong, the screed is not contributing anything of value. However, I like that Nat outs himself in this way.
.
Now, if it were filled with personal attacks, profanity, and outright support for terrorism, that is something different.
Relevance?
You seem very confused.
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.
Are you telling yourself this to feel better, or are people expected to believe this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣There’s an old man yelling at clouds again.
Check with your oncologist. Then, check with a psychiatrist. Then, look in the mirror and you will probably see misery.
They are so full of hate they even murder each other. The demons are strong in these….people?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s the early onset dementia talking pops
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.
You must work for the Fairbanks News Minor or Anchorage Daily News?
The group I witnessed in Palmer was the sorriest Lott I have seen in years. Most looked dead. They will be dead and angry with a scowl on their face in their wooden box too. It was actually very disappointing I was hoping for a little fight . Old fat and angry what the heck.
Old man Dermutt really trying to get in the face of the majority of Americans who love Donald Trump. What about King Obama and King Biden? Where was the old boozer writer during those reigning years? Fascism was on full display just one year ago……but Dermutt was probably in his basement and unable to navigate around. Dermutt does seem to have a few followers, but are they paying customers of his propaganda blog? Old Whidbey the Dog goes to Dermutt, with poetry no less, besmerching MRAK and Suzanne. But everyone at MRAK knows that Whidbey is a cheap POS, so I doubt the propogandist gets to purchase an expensive bottle of his favorite tonic with Democrat donations 😆.
As TDS really settles in, the rest of us Americans can keep moving with our lives, knowing MRAK has our back with the Truth. As for old school liars like Dermutt and his diminished pack of old druggies, they will get further and further from reality (hic).
Happy Father’s Day everyone! And let’s enjoy our King!
He would be serving American patriotism and reality in much fanfare if he was helping those daisies on birch hill. I would even sign up to water them.
I understood your satire, Dermutt. Nice job! I appreciate your dry humor. Judging from Hancock’s and Snuffy’s reactions, it was a little too dry.
Dermutt is a product of the old school left-wing journalism departments that are now waning in obsoletism. Democrats are an angry, vile, hostile bunch of unhappy campers. Especially when they are out of power. Old school rags like the Fairbanks Daily Newsminer have few subscribers, mostly a bunch of left-wingers as their obsequious prey. Long gone are the days of the NM’s neutral tone, fairness and honest reporting. With old, miserable writers like Dermutt trying to lead the charge from his basement blog, the Democrats have little hope. Their influence is flickering now; unhappiness and misery is pervasive. Meanwhile, the rest of us happy folks are enjoying the Trump years and MRAK (and Suzanne) for many, many years to come.
Dermutt seems to function better when there is a little wetness, and a few bottles, nearby.
Reporting From Alaska is where the burned out 60’s radicals and other sundry marxists go for coffee. But Dimwit can only write once or twice a week due to an old worn-out brain and body. Suzanne outworks him by a factor of 10, and her writing is paramount to Dimwit’s who pens 10th grade pieces. But Democrats can relate to his bogus articles. Empty and void of any substance. Whidbey the dog loves Dimwit and pitches anti-Suzanne rhetoric, filled with ad hominem attacks. I vote Whidbey out of MRAK.
I second. The Dog should be perm banned at MRAK. He can go to Dermot Cole for a strong dose of propaganda and …….drinking companion.
LOL …..hahaha…..I guarantee you that the old Democrat windbag won’t be buying any free drinks for his loyal misfit readers. DC will save the last drink for himself.
I completely do not agree with the positions of the protestors but I do appreciate they simply just protested, exercising the rights we all get to enjoy under our constitutional republic. We would not have those rights under Marxism or communism.
Anchorage = sh// hole city.
Palmer = God, Flag, Family city.
All you NeoCon “conservative” types in Anchorage that won’t go vote in your election – stay the hell in Anchorage – we truly DO NIT want you in the Valley, you are soft AF…
No LA Kings… XXX
For those of us here that went to school when they taught history.
How many Kings were known for their
– lowering taxes on their peasants
– shrinking their kingdoms government
– having their agenda to better serve their peasants halted by a judge.
I attended school when history was taught. (Never liked it, but I learned it)
And, I want someone waving a No Kings banner to explain to me, exactly how President Trump will turn himself into a king.
What was obviously apparent watching the Washington DC debacle was that “Bots can’t show up for a parade.” What a humiliating turnout!
Not sure what debacle you were watching, but the turnout in DC was significantly better than any No Kings event.
Exactly! Even as a conservative I can admit that spending millions on a NK style parade isn’t in alignment with conservative fiscal policies. There were only about 100 people there for some reason. I don’t know why the turnout was so low. Any ideas?
I just saw the tweet from Hillary that is the basis for this “belief” the turnout was pathetic in DC. Sad to see all the NPCs parroting the same talking points once again.
Even if there was only one person in every major city at these protests, it wouldn’t mean that that one person was incorrect. You seem to take refuge in the false sense of security that comes with consensus. It’s especially dangerous in this right wing echo chamber. I could be the only person in a room of 1000 people with my opinion and it wouldn’t mean that my opinion was wrong and everyone else’s was right.
Isn’t consensus the foundational idea behind democracy?
cman:
Missing the point here.
Sebastian made a statement that is demonstrably false, and there is sufficient photo and video evidence to prove it.
And, I noted that Hillary Clinton, who was not even in DC at the time, posted something which Sebastian (and a lot of other folks) took as fact and repeated.
.
It is sad to see all the NPCs parroting talking points. Does not matter which side of the political aisle it is on, it is still sad. And, before anyone points it out, yep… I am guilty of it as well. I try to be as factual as I can, but sometimes my source of information is not as reliable as I would like.
Most of these low IQ NO KINGS protesters hadn’t a clue as to the reality that the Middle East is embroiled in a hot war between Israel and Iran right now. Netanyahoo has fled to Greece after launching, what he calls preemptive strikes against Iran, which has resulted in that country raining hundreds of hypersonic missiles into Israel causing significant damage to military bases and other infrastructure. Netanyahoo desperately wants to drag the USA into war. The propaganda experts in both the USA & EU have done a stellar job in defanging the antiwar movement in the USA and instead replacing it with meaningless protests such as the NO KINGS farce! If this was an antiwar protest a lot of MAGA folks would be there, myself included!
Yet another comment on an article that has nothing to do with Israel, some people are just completely obsess with hatred and need to get it out any way they can.
Iran indiscriminately lobs missles killing women, children, and innocent civilians in response to targeted military and infrastructure strikes against religious zealots feverishly attempting to make nuclear bombs to wipe Israel and Jews from the face of the earth as they’ve fully admitted to.
Happy flag day President Trump!
These protests are ideal gatherings for ice agents to do sweeps. I encourage them to. Likely they’ll find many outstanding warrants in conjunction. That should shut things down pretty quickly.
The Fairbanks Democrat druggies were a pathetic bunch. Old, worn-out, and chanting the same old bullsh*t about fascism. THEY are fascists. Intolerant, unhappy people. Trump backers are happy and in power. The Democrat haters can kiss our *sses. Enjoy your miserable lives.
Thank you for covering this, Suzanne. Alaska’s News source also stated the protests were peaceful, but I had to come here and see what you had to say. 🙂
The Fairbanks “No Kings” protest generated less than 200 protesters. Fairbanks Daily News Miner is FOS. Dermot Cole is FOS. The Airport Way protest was held next to Pioneer Park/Alaskaland where other events were taking place for Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the US Army. And, Pioneer Park attracts a lot of tourists.
The Democrats are such LIARS.
Carol, I think it was less than 100. Newsminus says 2000 in their Sunday paper, but that’s only a marketing gimmick to sell off what they can’t normally sell in a week. NM is on the way over the cliff. Such one-sided reporting. And junior high level. With all kinds of errors, misspellings, and flat-out lies.
