Think about all of the money that is in the pipeline for this. That is why they participate. They are PAID to participate.
Don’t forget who caused the suffering – the Democrats Socialists. Suffering now is part of the recovery process. You get to reap what they sowed. Remember that when you vote. The left is not for the U.S. they are progressives/socialists who want to RULE your life.

Thousands show up for ‘No Kings’ protests across Ohio
Jeff LaRe, R-Violet Twp., is the State Representative for the Ohio House 73rd District.
In the grand theater of American politics, the “No Kings” protests that swept media stations last weekend stand out not for their revolutionary passion but for their sheer opulence.
People gathered in cities across the country, waving signs and chanting slogans against perceived authoritarianism in the Trump administration.
Organized by groups like No Kings Movement, these demonstrations were billed as a defense of democracy, with crowds decrying everything from presidential policies to the drift toward what they call tyranny.
But let’s pause and reflect: these protests weren’t acts of desperate rebellion; they were luxuries fit for kings.
There are threats, but not from king
Consider the comfort that surrounded these gatherings. Protesters marched freely, unafraid of violence or reprisal. Prominent Democrats joined crowds without risk, knowing their involvement carried political reward, not danger. That sense of safety stands in stark contrast to the threats faced by conservatives and Republicans this year/
Take Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, who evacuated her offices in June after receiving dozens of credible death threats targeting her, her unborn child, her family, and her staff.
Or consider U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s warnings about the escalating threats to lawmakers, some of which are right here in Ohio. This reflects a climate where dissenting voices, particularly those on the right, face real danger.
The contrast becomes even starker when we recall public events.
Conservatives facing threats of violence
At the rally last year in Butler, Pennsylvania, attendees found themselves literally in the line of fire during an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
More recently, the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk sparked a wave of reprisal threats and arrests, underscoring the ongoing dangers conservatives face for speaking out.
Even events hosted by conservative organizations now unfold under heavy security. Yet, the “No Kings” crowds roamed the streets carefree.
No stabbings, no gunfire, just the freedom to vent political outrage in comfort and safety. If that’s not royal treatment, what is?

That same privilege extends to Washington’s political gamesmanship.
The ongoing government shutdown, now fast approaching 30 days, didn’t arise from fiscal discipline but from Senate Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean funding bill.
They are shouting no king while Americans suffer.
(True, but blame Biden/Obama/Democrats who strapped a trillion dollar debt on your back. The President is working 24/7 to make the correction. Make a difference by voting for a conservative._
They’ve tied government operations to a demand for expanded taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants, tucked behind the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits.
Philip Derrow: Republicans are correct to fight against excessive Obamacare subsidy
Their obstruction has real consequences.
Veterans’ health payments are stalled. Border patrol agents and service members are living paycheck to paycheck.
SNAP benefits for families in need could run out by November 1. Yet leaders like Chuck Schumer still posture from their podiums, shouting “no kings” while holding America’s workers, heroes, and families hostage to their political theater. The irony is rich: those decrying monarchy are the ones exercising the power to rule.
Let’s be clear, there were no kings in America before October 18, and there are none after. Our republic rests on law, not royal command.
The closest we’ve come to a true “kingly” moment was Election Day 2024, when the people themselves spoke. That message was clear.
Voters rejected open borders and endless giveaways, calling for a government that prioritizes its citizens over outsiders. The voters want to put America first.
Yet that mandate now sits stalled in the halls of Congress, blocked by a shutdown driven by priorities that put noncitizens first. Holding the livelihoods of those who protect and serve hostage to politics is not leadership; it’s dysfunction.
America needs a reset. (It is in the process of a reset which takes time. It took the Democrats 12 years starting with Obama/Biden. Remember DOGE?)
Still, there’s an opportunity amid the dysfunction. As Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought has argued, this shutdown can be more than a stalemate; it can be a reset. It’s a chance to strip out waste, reform bloated agencies, and restore accountability to government. Why fund overseas programs like locust reduction in Africa when our own borders are unsecured and veterans wait for care? This isn’t chaos; it’s correction.
The “No Kings” protests, then, raise a deeper question: who’s really acting like royalty here? The protesters marching safely under police protection, demanding more spending for outsiders, while ordinary Americans feel the pain of their policies? Or the citizens and lawmakers fighting to keep faith with the voters who demanded change?
America isn’t a kingdom. It’s a republic built on equality under law, not privilege under protest.
If we’re serious about “no kings,” let’s start by dethroning the entitlement in Washington and returning power where it belongs to the people.

No Kings protest organizers were terrified of the public discovering this ugly truth
October 20, 2025
Protesters flooded American streets last weekend claiming to stand against “kings and billionaires.”
But organizers didn’t want anyone digging into who was actually funding the operation.
And No Kings protest organizers were terrified of the public discovering this ugly truth about their billionaire backers.
The second round of “No Kings” protests kicked off nationwide
Saturday marked the second wave of so-called “No Kings” protests, with demonstrators gathering in more than 2,500 locations across all 50 states.¹
Organizers claimed millions turned out to protest what they called President Trump’s “authoritarian” policies.²
The movement markets itself as grassroots resistance to billionaire influence and monarchical power.
But investigative research from Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute exposed a very different reality.
These supposedly spontaneous demonstrations are actually a professionalized protest-industrial complex funded by the exact billionaire networks the protesters claim to oppose.³
The “No Kings” banner sounds noble enough — no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
Yet the people waving anti-billionaire signs have no idea who’s actually paying for their buses, their training sessions, and their protest materials.
Follow the money trail and you’ll find George Soros and friends
Schweizer and Bruner traced a staggering $294,487,641 flowing to official “No Kings 2.0” partners and organizers.⁴
The money came through the same dark-money networks that have been financing left-wing activism for years.
The breakdown tells you everything you need to know about who’s really pulling the strings.
The Arabella network kicked in more than $79.7 million.⁵
George Soros’s Open Society network added $72.1 million.⁶
The Ford Foundation network contributed $51.7 million, while the Tides network pumped in $45.5 million.⁷
The Rockefeller network added $28.6 million, and Warren Buffett’s network threw in another $16.6 million.⁸
“Obviously No Kings 2.0 isn’t grassroots,” Bruner wrote on X. “This level of coordination takes serious cash.”⁹
The protesters are holding up anti-billionaire signs funded by billionaires.
Either they’re being dishonest or they’re completely ignorant about who’s actually financing their movement.
The Arabella network operates as the Left’s dark-money machine
The Arabella Advisors network has perfected the art of disguising political operations as grassroots movements.¹⁰
The Atlantic once called Arabella’s Sixteen Thirty Fund the “indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money.”¹¹
The network raised over $1.3 billion in anonymous donations in 2023 alone, then distributed nearly $1.5 billion to other organizations.¹²
Three massive funds funnel billionaire cash to professional protest groups — the New Venture Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund.¹³
These fiscal sponsors create shell nonprofits that generate countless sub-projects with noble-sounding names but zero accountability to the public.
The organizational structure is deliberately designed to obscure money trails and hide who’s making decisions.
Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has dumped more than $245 million into Arabella, making him the largest foreign financier of America’s protest complex.¹⁴
Bill Gates’s foundation added over $100 million to the Arabella-Tides-Ford network backing this weekend’s protests.¹⁵
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff threw in another $20 million-plus.¹⁶
Authentic grassroots movements run on shoestring budgets with disorganized volunteers who argue about strategy.
The “No Kings” operation runs like a Fortune 500 company with professional staff, coordinated messaging, and hundreds of millions in the bank.
Indivisible runs the show with billionaire backing
The Indivisible organization coordinates “No Kings” demonstrations while managing data and communications with participants.¹⁷
Led by activists Ezra Levin and his wife Leah Greenberg, Indivisible has organized numerous anti-Trump protests since 2017.¹⁸
Soros’s Open Society network has provided at least $7.61 million directly to Indivisible since 2017, while Wyss’s political action fund funneled $2.5 million to the operation.²⁰
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman funded Indivisible’s “Truth Brigade,” and the Tides network has contributed more than $3 million.²¹
The connections to Soros run even deeper than the direct funding.
Tom Perriello served as executive director of the Open Society Foundations from October 2018 to July 2023.²²
Leah Greenberg previously worked as policy director for Perriello’s failed 2017 campaign for Governor of Virginia.²³
The web of relationships reveals a tight-knit network of professional activists recycling through the same organizations.
Republicans called out the coordinated operation
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was among the first to sound the alarm about Soros connections.
“There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country,” Cruz told Fox News.²⁴
Cruz introduced legislation in July that would allow the Justice Department to impose RICO charges against individuals funding violent protests.²⁵
House Speaker Mike Johnson branded the demonstrations a “Hate America Rally” and said he expected the crowd would include “pro-Hamas supporters” and “Antifa types.”²⁶
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed the protests are “part of Antifa.”²⁷
President Trump dismissed questions about the rallies when asked by Fox News.
“They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” Trump said.²⁸
Republican governors prepared for potential violence by deploying National Guard troops.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed the Department of Public Safety and National Guard “to surge forces into Austin ahead of an Antifa-linked protest,” writing on X that “Texas will NOT tolerate chaos.”²⁹
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin authorized state active duty training for the Guard “to help ensure the Guard will be ready to respond if needed to keep people safe.”³⁰
The protest-industrial complex operates like information warfare
The coordination is too smooth, the branding too professional, and the timing too strategic for this to be spontaneous.
Professional agitators don’t just show up spontaneously with matching signs, trained organizers, and coordinated media strategies.
Someone pays for the buses, the training sessions, the digital advertising, and the signage.
Real grassroots movements struggle for funding and deal with messy internal disagreements.
The “No Kings” operation runs like a well-oiled corporate machine because that’s exactly what it is.
The playbook mirrors color revolutions overseas — Western NGOs pulling strings with money, media, and messaging working in perfect sync.³¹
The 2020 summer protests followed similar patterns, with millions flowing into bail funds tied to political PACs.³²
Election-year civic engagement drives always hit the same swing states with the same donors behind them.
Former Lieutenant General Michael Flynn nailed it when he described what’s really happening.
“What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead a hollow spectacle driven by a web of dark money and hidden agendas,” Flynn wrote.³³
Nearly $300 million from Arabella and Soros networks doesn’t buy genuine activism — it buys manufactured outrage with professional organizers reading from the same script.
The organizers hyped massive turnout numbers
Organizers claimed more than 5 million people showed up for the first round of protests back in June.³⁴
By Saturday they were predicting even bigger crowds, billing it as potentially the “largest protest in US history.”³⁵
Approximately 200 organizations partnered for the October protests, including the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, MoveOn, and United We Dream.³⁶
Events took place from major cities to small towns with populations under 3,000 people.³⁷
But here’s what the organizers don’t want you to know.
The first “No Kings” protests in June drew attention primarily because they coincided with Trump’s military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary.³⁸
By October, nobody cared anymore and media outlets struggled to generate the same buzz.
When you’re running a corporate-style operation instead of a real movement, the energy fizzles out fast.
The irony couldn’t be more obvious
A movement calling itself “No Kings” and claiming to oppose billionaire influence is completely bankrolled by billionaire kings.
The protesters holding anti-billionaire signs are literally being paid for by George Soros, Bill Gates, and other mega-wealthy donors.
One faction of billionaires simply hates another faction of billionaires.
So they fund their nonprofit soldiers to create a front group, brand it with an appealing name, and deploy an army of paid protesters.
This is the permanent protest-industrial complex in 2025 — manufactured outrage financed by the very elite class the demonstrators claim to oppose.
The “grassroots” activists are either being lied to or they’re willfully ignorant about who’s actually funding their movement.
Either way, Americans deserve to know the truth about who’s really pulling the strings behind these coordinated demonstrations.

Thank you Senator Cotton. Our folks have forgotten about the rotten tomatoes and the DOGE Democrats who added trillions of debt and nothing to show for it except corruption and hate for our country. Keep up the good work and speaking to the people to keep their hopes/dreams alive.
As far as the donation, I just finished buying a new computer after the lefties crashed and gave me a blue line after I published the Charlie Kirk Obit. Also, 6,000 emails and 150 texts asking for donations. My budget is also limited.

| On Saturday, while ordinary Arkansans and Americans watched college football and enjoyed the weekend, radical leftists in cities across the country held their little “No Kings” protests. Remember, those protests are why Chuck Schumer shut down the government. He did it so he wouldn’t get booed and because he’s terrified of a primary challenge from AOC. (The scary part is that Schumer has lost site of the Constitution in his old age and AOC is now pulling the progressive wagon with Sanders/plus four/Hamas terrorists and the communist person running in New York. What are the people of New York thinking? Do they realize they will lose their freedom?) He harmed Arkansans to save himself, and Senate Democrats have been happy to go along with him. Schumer’s response is saying “every day gets better” for Democrats since the shutdown. It’s not getting better for troops and LEOs going without pay, or Arkansas parents who can’t get what they need to care for their kids. I’ve asked you to chip in to stop Schumer and the Democrats from taking back the Senate. Today, I’m simply asking you to send a message that it’s past time to end this disgraceful Schumer Shutdown. Will you SIGN my petition here? END THE SHUTDOWN In service, Tom Cotton |

Mr. Soros missed his chance to bring our country together instead of trying to divide it by holding this NO KINGS RALLY.
What are his intentions?
He could have asked for a meeting with President Trump and worked this out and could have come out on top. Instead he chose a side – so does that puts him in a precarious position?
Is he still fighting WWII? Or, is he a trouble-maker just welding his money all over the world.
Soros’ nonprofit donations don’t always go directly to political causes. The funds sometimes flow from one of his nonprofits, then to another, before being spent on the advertising, organizing and social media campaigns that directly reach voters.
Many of the Open Society Policy Center’s 2021 donations weren’t necessarily earmarked to help sway the midterm elections, according to the foundation’s website. At the same time, Tom Watson, an editorial director at the Open Society Foundations, conceded in an email to CNBC that “there are definitely some OSPC grants that went to organizations working to combat voter suppression, support voter registration and expand civic participation.” Those are all core Democratic principles.

FIRST ON FOX: George Soros’ foundations are funding the “No Kings” protests that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and tens of thousands of protesters will be participating in on Saturday.
Soros, a billionaire investor and notorious Democratic Party donor, is founder of the Open Society Foundations.
In 2023, the foundation, through the Open Society Action Fund, issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the Indivisible organization. The grant was “to support the grantee’s social welfare activities,” according to the Open Society Foundation’s website.
Indivisible is “managing data and communications with participants” for the “No Kings” protests that will be taking place in Washington and across the country.

Per the Open Society Foundations’ website, Soros “has given away more than $32 billion of his personal fortune” to the foundations. His son Alex serves as chairman of the board.
According to the Indivisible organization’s website, Ezra Levin is the executive co-director behind the group. Leah Greenberg, Levin’s wife, serves as the other executive co-director.
Greenberg formerly served as the policy director for the Tom Perriello for Governor of Virginia campaign. Perriello was the executive director for the Open Society Foundations from October 2018 to July 2023, furthering the ties between Soros and the Indivisible organization.
In 2017, Indivisible received a $350,000 grant from Tides Advocacy, a group affiliated with the Tides Network. The Tides Foundation, a foundation also affiliated with the Tides Network, has been accused of funding anti-Israel campus riots.
The grant report for 2024 was not available on the IRS’ nor the Open Society Foundations’ websites, though Soros’ foundations have awarded grants to Indivisible every year since the organization’s conception in 2017. In total, the Open Society Foundations have awarded $7.61 million in grants to the group behind the “No Kings” protest.

“We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,” a spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations told Fox News Ditigal. “Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Perriello, the Indivisible group, and the Tides Network but did not receive responses in time for publication.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to sound the alarm on ties between Soros and the “No Kings” protest during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, saying “There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country.”
Cruz introduced the Financial Underwriting of Nefarious Demonstrations and Extremist Riots (STOP FUNDERs) Act in July that would allow for the Department of Justice to impose Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges against individuals behind the funding of “violent” and “extreme” protests.

“This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence.”
Per the Indivisible website, “On October 18, millions of us are rising again” to protest in an effort to paint President Donald Trump as a tyrant and an authoritarian king.
REPUBLICANS FUME AS DEMOCRATS BLOCK 9TH GOP BID TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT
Schumer announced on Thursday that he would be attending the protest, saying he “will join the marchers, to celebrate what makes this country so great” and encouraged peaceful demonstrations.
A statement from the Open Society Foundations website says that they don’t pay, train, or coordinate protesters, and that “the Open Society Foundations oppose all forms of violence, including violent protests.”

“Protests can be strenuous and intense,” the “How to Prepare for a Protest” section of the Indivisible website reads.
“They are most effective when we peacefully use our constitutionally protected rights of assembly and speech and properly prepare ahead of time,” the website continued.

From Wikipedia:
On September 27, 2012, Soros announced that he was donating $1 million to the super PAC backing President Barack Obama‘s reelection Priorities USA Action.[95] In October 2013, Soros donated $25,000 to Ready for Hillary, becoming a co-chairman of the super PAC’s national finance committee.[96] In June 2015, he donated $1 million to the Super PAC Priorities USA Action, which supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. He donated $6 million to the PAC in December 2015 and $2.5 million in August 2016.[97] Soros launched a new super PAC called Democracy PAC for the 2020 election cycle. By July 2019, he had donated $5.1 million to it.[98]
Since 2016, Soros has been donating sums exceeding $1 million to the campaigns of progressive criminal justice reform proponents through the Safety and Justice PAC in local district attorney elections. In many districts, such large contributions were unprecedented and the campaigning strategy was “turned on its head” with a focus on incarceration, police misconduct and bail system, according to the Los Angeles Times.[99][100] Larry Krasner was elected as the District Attorney of Philadelphia with the help of a $1.5 million ad campaign funded by Soros in 2017.[101] Soros was the largest donor supporting the campaign of George Gascón for Los Angeles County District Attorney in 2020, contributing $2.25 million to superPACs in Gascón’s favor.[102] Soros gave $2 million to a PAC supporting Kim Foxx‘s campaign for Cook County State’s Attorney in 2020.[103]
In the second quarter of 2020, Soros gave at least $500,000 to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, becoming one of the campaign’s largest donors.[104]
For the 2022 United States elections, Soros was the country’s largest donor. He donated $128.5 millionto support the Democratic Party in the election cycle.[105]
