Reminder: “WE ARE A SALON AND NOT A SALOON”

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.

So what did they hope to accomplish? Marching around saying "No More Kings" - then what? Trump was supposed to vanish? They want a do-over for the last election? What? It was a gigantic waste of time and I still don't believe the size of a lot of those crowds.

I am so embarrassed by my generation. They are so stuck on their political party that they'll follow them to the not so distant end. They probably will never be able to except the obvious truths about what's really happening around them.

I'm 82 and what most would call a conservatives' conservative, and all of my peers, that I hang out with, are conservatives. Who are these elderly you talk about, certainly not here in South Louisiana! We hunt, own guns, eat meat and drive gas powered cars and trucks. Many of us have old classic gas burners that we show on week-end cars shows. Of course, most of us are retired private sector workers and veterans who've actually earned our money and paid for our homes. We also payed for our schooling and our children's schooling, and don't ask for government handouts. That's my group of elderly people!

The only thing these demonstrations prove is that you can deceive some of the people all of the time. The Democrats are masters of deceiving people. Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of them.

I wonder how many of these elderly are just old hippies from the sixties. Apparently, old age did not bring any wisdom to them. The idea that the Republicans are going to destroy social security is as old an argument as those marching on King's Day. I remember watching democrat commercials back in 1970 declaring that Republicans will end Social Security, but it took a democrat majority to place a federal tax on SS benefits when there were no taxes on SS benefits before.

Taking Stock of What 'No Kings' Accomplished 7 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 10/20/2025 12:40:30 AM Post Reply
Like many Americans, I watched with interest as the “No Kings” spectacle unfolded. It was rather like a box of Monty Python's chocolates. I had no idea what I was going to get, but I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like it much. In this, at least, I was not disappointed. So, what, exactly, did this crunchy frog of a “No Kings” thing accomplish? We haven’t had any kings since the day we declared our independence. And before I had my coffee made this morning, I was deeply concerned, so I checked. Turns out, we still don’t.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A San Antonio Church and residents of several northside neighborhoods were left to deal with damages left by “No Kings” related vandals in the aftermath of the protest in the Alamo City. The vandals targeted residential homes, traffic signs, highway overpasses, and one of the city’s largest churches. At the Community Bible Church (CBC), where weekly attendance is estimated at over 15,000 worshipers, vandals left messages spray-painted on the church grounds and building that read, “Jesus wants TRUMP gone!” and “No King but God”. CBC Pastor Ed Newton posted images of the vandalism and offered commentary in an Instagram social media post on Saturday.

WASHINGTON - The United States announced Sunday another strike against what it called a drug-running boat, this time attacking an alleged Colombian leftist rebel vessel in an apparent expansion of a US military operation off the coasts of South America. Word of the attack from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth came as President Donald Trump said the United States is halting financial aid to Colombia and will announce tariffs against it on Monday. The United States has had warships deployed in the Caribbean off Venezuela since August and has attacked at least six boats it said were running drugs toward the United States, killing at least 27 people so far.
They Were Warned: IDF Responds to Multiple

The Gaza peace deal has rightly been characterized as tenuous at best — largely because Hamas seemingly wouldn't know honoring a commitment if it smacked the terrorist outfit upside the head. Speaking of which... On Saturday, the U.S. State Department issued an urgent bulletin, warning of an imminent Hamas attack on the people of Gaza and also warning that the "United States and the other guarantors" would take steps to protect Gazans and uphold the "integrity of the ceasefire." Now, the IDF has indeed responded to multiple Hamas violations of the ceasefire. An Israeli military official confirmed the strikes to Fox News on Sunday,

After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year. The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition. Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations. Washington and Riyadh led the opposition.

NBC News will be terminating 150 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employees who are responsible for "Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+" coverage in the newsroom. The Wrap, in an exclusive, reported that NBC News was firing its teams dedicated to issues affecting those communities. NBC News executive vice president of editorial, Catherine Kim, announced the cuts to staff on the morning of Oct. 15. Kim claimed that the layoffs made things a “difficult day for a lot of us,” the Wrap reported. The Wednesday newsroom massacre comes as NBC News splits from its sister news network, MSNBC.

President Trump revealed Friday that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has "offered everything" to persuade the United States to back off amid escalating American strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats. Trump shocked reporters during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he was asked about Maduro's attempts to offer mediation. Not so much for the content of his response, but for how he delivered it. The President offered an expletive-laced frank assessment of the dictator's attempts to get him and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to take their foot off the gas in disrupting narco-terrorists' operations. A reporter questioned Trump regarding Maduro's overtures. “It’s been reported, Mr. President

Rep. John James (R-Mich.) now holds the best position of any GOP candidate to potentially flip the governorship in Michigan from blue to red in the 2026 election, according to new polling data. If James actually wins next year, the state’s political landscape would shift seismically, providing further evidence that the country as a whole is shifting away from Democrat policies. It's a win that would bode well for other GOP and MAGA candidates running for other offices at various levels of government as well. The Plymouth Union Public (PUP) Research survey shows James leading the general election field and crushing a crowded crop of candidates in the primary.

Until now, the conventional wisdom on the midterm elections has been cautionary -- for Republicans. The party holding the White House generally loses ground anyway. The dramatic shifts in policy under Donald Trump would likely make voters skittish, analysts warned, and a lackluster economic environment provided even more reason for pessimism. And for a while, polls showed a grim picture for the GOP in next year's contests. Well, hold the phone. Polls have shifted over the last six months, CNN forecaster Harry Enten warns -- or more to the point, the polls haven't shifted at all. Democrats haven't picked up any new support during Trump's presidency, falling off the pace

The four-star Navy admiral in command of all U.S. military forces in South and Central America, including the Caribbean Sea, will retire later this year after less than a year on the job. Adm. Alvin Holsey, a Navy pilot who led U.S. Southern Command in the early stages of the burgeoning targets against the region's drug cartels directed at Venezuela, "plans to retire at year's end," according to an X post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth praised Holsey's "37 years of distinguished service," which also included a tour as U.S. Southern Command's deputy commander. He took over "SOUTHCOM" in November 2024.

I don't know if you've seen anything about Barack Obama's presidential center. But if you didn't, he posted about it on Saturday. It's been a boondoggle now for some time. It is, in fact, the perfect representation of Barack Obama. Here's a Newsweek headline on the project: "Behind Schedule, Over Budget, and Mired in Lawsuits."The local community was also unhappy with it or had concerns. One resident called it a "monstrosity," taking away from the beautiful area that once was there. So much for the feelings of the locals. Guess those got lost in the narcissism.

A gang of brazen thieves dropped the priceless Eugénie Crown outside the Louvre in Paris during a jaw-dropping daylight heist of the world's most visited museum. The group of criminals swiped priceless items, including a necklace and a brooch once belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, in broad daylight, forcing the tourist attraction to shut its doors. The raid, which took place at around 9.30am on Sunday, saw the thieves brazenly break into the art museum, which is also home to the Mona Lisa, by propping a huge freight elevator up against its walls, according to an investigating source. The group of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived on scooters, masking their

"Together, we can tax the rich, heal the sick, house the poor, defund the police & build a socialist New York,” Zohran Mamdani tweeted in 2020. On his current mayoral campaign website, he calls for shifting the city’s tax burden to “richer and whiter neighborhoods.” These aren’t slip-ups or stray remarks. They are at the heart of his campaign for mayor of New York City this November. And if he wins, the fallout won’t just be felt here. It will ripple far beyond the five boroughs, dragging down not only New York but the nation as well. I know a lot of Americans will shrug and say: “Well, New Yorkers

Leftists are so obsessed with the Trump collusion hoax that they are seeing ‘connections’ in the most ridiculous of places, including the choice of tie that War Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the latest conspiracy theory regarding Trump-Russia backfired. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes meeting Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place in the Cabinet Room of the White House, a departure from the typical Oval Office meetings that the President holds with foreign leaders.

Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned. Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker — a vocal opponent of Trump’s use of federal troops for both immigration enforcement and fighting big-blue-city crime — has lately touted double-digit declines in Chicago crime rates where “shootings and homicides on our highways are down 60, 70, 80% depending on where you look.” But the number of felonies in Chicago — not to mention New York, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. —

It’s difficult to think of a more effective way to illustrate the moral and intellectual emptiness of the American left than to have them march around demanding an end to an institution our founding fathers abolished 250 years ago. This is how the official “No Kings” website described what happened on Saturday: “On October 18, more than seven million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.” These folks are a little late to the party.
