The People Who WANT a King

Yesterday, America witnessed the second “No Kings” rally — a bizarre, self-contradictory tantrum in which nearly six million people took to the streets to protest… freedom.

Six million Americans, shouting against a lawfully elected administration that won decisively in the popular vote, the Electoral College, and every swing state, demanding instead a return to the chaos, corruption, and incompetence of the Biden years. These weren’t patriots. These were the uninformed, the misguided, the professional malcontents so steeped in media lies that they can no longer tell tyranny from liberty. They were literally marching for autocratic rule while pretending to march against it. The irony would be funny if it weren’t so deadly.

Our current President has achieved something no other American leader ever has: more than 230 million votes cast for him across his elections — the most in history. He increased his totals in all 3,800 counties in America. Franklin Roosevelt, beloved by Democrats and elected four times, amassed just over 100 million total votes. Yet the left’s media complex still insists that the man who revived the economy, secured the border, ended foreign wars, and restored sanity to government somehow isn’t legitimate. Meanwhile, their previous “candidate” — the placeholder propped up by donors and handlers — wasn’t even lawfully nominated. Zero primary votes. None. Zip.

The math isn’t just on our side. History is too.

And yet somehow that’s not enough for the rage-drunk mobs. From burning cities to canceled voices, they’ve escalated their contempt for order, truth, and decency until now — tragically —it’s claimed lives. The murder of Charlie Kirk wasn’t an aberration; it was a symptom. It was the inevitable fruit of a movement that hates what it cannot control and seeks to silence what it cannot refute. “No Kings,” they shouted, right before they crowned violence as their god.

It’s an old story dressed in modern slogans. The ancient Israelites once stood at a crossroads much like ours. God warned them that they didn’t need a king. He was their protector, their provider, their freedom. But the people demanded one anyway — and they got Saul. It worked for a while. Then came corruption, slavery, and ruin. Over and over, they rejected God’s order, embraced human power, and paid the price.

The “No Kings” movement is a mirror of that rebellion. They aren’t rejecting tyranny; they’re re-embracing it. They’re crying out for rulers, elites, and bureaucrats to control them again. They don’t want self-government — they WANT self-destruction. The crowd that chants “No Kings” is really begging for chains, and they’re too blind to see it.

In New York City, the “Jews Voting for Mamdani” ads run like bad comedy sketches: Jewish actors mispronounce the anti-Semitic candidate’s name, laugh about it over clown music, and call it clever. Do they realize that the slogan “Globalize the Intifada” is not merely political sloganeering but a dog whistle — a call to Jew-haters urging violence and eradication? Do they understand that such language invites, encourages, and normalizes the desire to wipe a people away? That isn’t political theater. It’s moral rot.

And do they understand that his strategy of “Localizing the Taqiyya” — a cynical political playbook that encourages deception to gain power — gives a veneer of respectability to outright lying? Combine a dog-whistled call to violence with a practiced permission to deceive and you have a recipe for catastrophe.

So yes — the ad is funny. Just not in the way they think. It’s gallows humor for a people laughing on the edge of their own destruction.

New York might already be too far gone. When the loudest voices in our culture are the most ignorant, when people cheer for leaders who despise their faith, their freedom, and their future, we have crossed into dangerous territory. The Old Testament pattern is repeating itself: rebellion, deception, slavery. And every time God’s people demanded a king, He let them have one —until they cried out again in misery and repentance.

That’s where America stands right now. On the cusp between mercy and judgment. We can still choose repentance. We can still fall to our knees and say, “Lord, forgive us for trading truth for comfort, for mocking righteousness, for electing leaders who mock You.” But if we don’t, if pride keeps us upright when humility should drive us down, then we will deserve the tyrant we get.

Today isn’t the day for another march or another hashtag. It’s the day to drop to our knees — to beg forgiveness, to plead for mercy, and to give thanks for grace we could never earn. Because the moment we stop doing that, we’ll get the king we asked for.

And if history is any guide, he won’t be a servant of the people. He’ll be a tyrant of their choosing — a ruler for a nation that forgot Who actually reigns.

When you chant “No Kings,” be careful. The heavens may be listening. And the next crown might not land where you expect — it might land on the head of your own oppressor.
