No Kings rallies

October 28, 2025 by Guest Post

by Tom Tunny, Hamilton

750 in Hamilton, 7000 in Missoula, 18,000 in Reno, Nevada (where my wife and I spent the weekend), 15,000 in Boise, Idaho, 7 million nationally and internationally…and not a single arrest that we know of! 

Laughter, singing, music, great signs (mostly homemade), FROGS, great energy, and high spirits…those were the hallmarks of “No Kings” rallies on October 18! 

All this was happening while our president was celebrating his own events: 

• Unrestrained activities of unidentified/masked ICE thugs 

• Imposition of National Guard troops in Blue cities 

• Blowing up of unidentified boats in the Caribbean and now the Pacific 

• Keeping Congress out of session so he has no one to answer to 

• Lack of attention to retail prices/tariff effects (see what Ronald Reagan had to say about tariffs!) 

• $20 to $40 billion to Argentina to prop up his authoritarian friend while Americans go hungry 

• Demolition of the “People’s House” to build his Big Beautiful Dance Hall. 

The next “No Kings Rally” will be a bigger, more beautiful event!

    A bunch of immature stompy foot fools holding a pity party. That describes the whole event.
    Liberals have zero independent thinking…. Zero. so some fool in Portland puts on a frog costume and that is what someone put on here in Hamilton?
    I’ve got a suggestion, if you want to be so much like Portland, pack your things and move there.

      No traffic was blocked. I was one of the volunteers tasked to ensure that didn’t happen. And the costumes were hilarious.

        I think what happened is that Tracy may have been “triggered”. :Those frog costumes were too much for them to take. 🙂

        You are full of it. I tried to turn onto Main off of 93. I sat through 2 lights. People in the cross walks stationary holding ridiculous signs about something that is NOT happening. People like you stir the pot and get these morons excited about nothing.

          Tracy. All it takes for you to give up your/our freedom of speech is to be inconvenienced for 2 minutes at a stop light?
