Democratic Billionaire Pushes “No Kings Day” Protests | Armstrong Economics

The White House is preparing the largest military parade in US history to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The celebration will now be overshadowed by the “No Kings Day of Defiance” slated for Saturday, which is expected to produce 1,800 nationwide protests.
“They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings,” the group’s website declares. “Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.”
The website requests that those interested plan their own “No Kings” protest, register with the official organization, and receive a toolkit to mobilize others to join.
What pawns.
The sheep are being led by none other than Christy Walton, who is sponsoring numerous ads for the “No Kings” movement, including a full-page ad in the New York Times. That’s right—Walton, as in one of the billionaire Walmart heiresses. Christy Walton, the widow of John T. Walton, was worth an estimated $41.7 billion at one time and could never sympathize with the average American or migrant. Her fortune wields power, and she’s using it to manipulate people into believing they’re supporting a grassroots, virtuous cause. Walton is merely using her money to mobilize the minions to do her bidding.
Walton has long been a Democratic supporter, backing Kamala Harris on the campaign trail and contributing to left-wing causes, such as the Lincoln Project and WelcomePAC. Walmart, the company, has issued statements to insist that her actions do not reflect the company’s political position. Still, much of her net worth depends on the retailer’s success.
Walmart has been forced to offer low-skilled laborers higher wages to maintain minimum wage standards. They were forced to offer higher wages and better benefits to attract employees during the post-COVID labor shortage. Migrants were the solution to their labor problem. Trump ended the CHNV parole program that permitted migrants to work in the United States, instantly changing the immigration status of 500,000 noncitizens. The Supreme Court upheld the decision, and corporations, such as Walmart, were forced to terminate thousands of migrant employees who were paid less than citizens.
Walmart also came toe-to-toe with the Trump Administration over tariffs. The retailer said it would be forced to raise prices, and even considered adding a “tariff price” sticker on products. Donald Trump told the corporation to “eat the tariffs,” insisting the corporation was simply price-gouging consumers.
“Oligarch” has been changed to “king” for the average man to comprehend. Billionaire Democrats are plentiful, and they do not want this matter turning into “eat the rich”—Donald Trump and the conservatives are their target.
I find it quite shameful that these sheep would choose to host this event on the same day as the military parade. Yes, the parade coincides with Trump’s birthday, but 250 years of defending America against foreign and domestic threats is worth celebrating.
Walton and others will laugh from their mega-compounds as these mindless minions take to the streets, risking arrest, to support the billionaire elite who they claim to hate.
