Thousands of left-wing demonstrators descend on Washington to protest Trump inauguration
The protest is only a fraction of the half a million who turned out for the 'Women’s March' in 2017


Thousands of mainly female protesters descended on Washington, D.C. to protest President–elect Trump’s inauguration on Monday. However, the crowd is only a tenth of the half a million who turned out for the "Women’s March" in 2017.

Saturday’s march, rebranded as the "People’s March," is taking place at three different locations with demonstrators advocating for a wide range of left-wing causes and showcasing a united front to the new administration.

This morning, a kickoff event took place in Franklin Park for "gender justice" and bodily autonomy, and then demonstrators walked downtown before making their way towards the Lincoln Memorial for the day's main event.

It’s really healing to be here with all of you today in solidarity and togetherness, in the face of what’s going to be some really horrible extremism," Mini Timmaraju, the head of advocacy group Reproductive Freedom for All, told the crowd as events kicked off.

Other protesters gathered at two other parks also near the White House, with one group focused on democracy and immigration and another on local Washington issues,

Vendors hawked buttons that said #MeToo and "Love trumps hate," and sold People's March flags for $10. Demonstrators carried posters that read "Feminists v. Fascists" and "People over politics."


Lillian Fenske, 31, drove six hours from Greensboro, North Carolina, to participate. Her signs expressed concern over oligarchs and the disunity. "America is not for sale," said one, while another said simply, "Divided We Fall."


There is a heavy police presence, although law enforcement is not expecting a repeat of the violent scenes seen across the city ahead of Inauguration Day in 2017, where protesters shattered glass storefronts and torched cars, with police arresting more than 200 people in demonstrations that spanned several days.


The enthusiasm behind the so-called resistance movement to Trump has waned somewhat, with many progressive voters expressing feelings of exhaustion and disappointment following Trump’s landslide win in November. He dominated both the Electoral College and the popular vote to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris after a historic campaign cycle.


The 2017 Women’s March took place on the day after Trump’s inauguration. Celebrities like America Ferrera, Madonna, Ashley Judd, Cher, Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Michael Moore, Debra Messing, Patricia Arquette and others attended the march.

President-elect Trump is expected to leave Mar-a-Lago later today and head to Washington.

Talked to my very liberal niece yesterday.  We actually talked politics, which we rarely do for obvious reasons, but we did our best to not get heated.  It’s interesting to hear their views.  She referred to “the patriarchy” multiple times.  Mentioned concerns about Trump being a dictator like president trampling on civil liberties.  Not a word about Biden’s assault on free speech, etc…. It’s just wild to listen to.  Instead of arguing I just reassured her of this awesome system of checks and balances.  And then later she referred to the “white men” that wrote the constitution as if it were a negative.  When I just brought up the checks and balances aspect that would benefit her side.

This is a person with an advanced degree (granted it’s somewhere in the field I repeatedly discuss on here).  Now you tell me gaslighting isn’t real.  It works on educated (a.k.a. Indoctrinated) people.

Of course it works on those who are easily mislead.  Of course gaslighting doesn't work on most people. 

Depends on you as person, who you associate with, who raised you.

White men wrote the constitution, died fighting in civil war, passed civil rights laws, passed 13-14-15 amendments.

Next time ask her what liberties will taken.  When these types have to get specifics they break down.  No where on earth is there more liberties or equality than USA.  Why do so many want to come here if its not offering freedom?

She’s dyed in the wool liberal.  So probably just more along the lines of confirmation bias with her than anything else.  

The patriarchy and the old white men thing just slays me.  So these old white guys that wrote the greatest document for liberty ever are some evil guys bent on others’ destruction?  What if the founders were all POC?  Would the constitution still suck or would it be great?  It’s really fascinating talking to these people.  And yeah, the holi grail to her is abortion.  This is like religious dogma to these people.

She lives in the dc area.  In her late 30s now so I doubt she’ll attend that rally.  Though it wouldn’t shock me if she did.

Why do these people screech about what are really lies?

Hope they enjoy frostbite.  The only people paying attention to these mutts are these mutts.  Complete waste of time.  Read an article about one of the original organizers.  She didn't even know it was happening.

Megyn Kelly thanks Harris-supporting celebrities by name for helping bolster Trump's win

Megyn Kelly joined President-elect Donald Trump's Victory Rally on Sunday, where she thanked high-profile celebrity supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris for helping bolster Trump's win.

"These Hollywood celebrities who get up there and try to tell us how to vote. Really? I mean, like those celebrities who know nothing?" Kelly said.

"So goodbye. J.Lo. It did not work out for you. Goodbye, Meryl Streep, who showed up at that Oprah event saying, 'oh, madam President,' to Kamala Harris. How'd that work out? About as well as her comment that Harvey Weinstein was God. Maybe we should stop listening to her," she continued.

Kelly went on to focus on Oprah and her support of Harris during the campaign cycle.

"Oprah she'll show up and interview you if you pay her $1 million, too," she said. "....Apparently, that's what the Harris campaign production company says."

Kelly also thanked Harris personally for helping bolster Trump's win.

"But of course, the fakest person involved in that side of the aisle was the woman at the top," she said. "Kamala Harris herself. Thank you. Who pretended that she wasn't the border czar. Who pretended that she was middle class. Who pretended that she was smart, and the American people did not buy it."

"Every time you turned around, this woman was doing something faker than the last, right? Her fake Jamaican accent, her fake eastern European accent, her fake Spanish accent. It was like spending the day at Joe Biden's southern border nonstop."

Woke army retreats in D.C. protest, pivots to ‘FIGHT BACK’ for Gaza
Network of radical groups plans anti-Trump protests in 84 cities on Inauguration Day




Despite media portrayals of these protests as grassroots movements, they are anything but. The ANSWER Coalition’s operations are highly coordinated and funded by professional activism networks, much like Saturday’s "People’s March," which my reporting revealed was organized by a for-profit professional protest logistics company, Movement Catalyst LLC, which executes events with military precision.

Permit for Trump protest granted
[Image: protest2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1]

These professional organizers create a polished veneer of "grassroots" spontaneity for protests that are, in reality, meticulously engineered political theater and not grassroots but rather AstroTurf. They churned out near identical emails around 4 p.m. on Sunday, summoning followers to their Monday protests.


For years now, I’ve been tracking these organizations as part of my reporting for the Pearl Project, a nonprofit journalism initiative named for Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was murdered in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002 in the name of identity politics and sectarianism. Democracy thrives on transparency, and the public deserves to know when protests are driven by ideological agendas masquerading as grassroots movements.

Members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation created the ANSWER Coalition, short for "Act Now to Stop War and End Racism," after 9/11. It has consistently championed authoritarian regimes, including socialist governments in Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba. Brian Becker, the ANSWER Coalition leader who got the permit for the Meridian Hill protest, is a vocal proponent of Marxism and socialism.



The organization’s history includes inflammatory anti-American incidents, such as a protest this past summer against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Zaid Mohammed Mahdawi, president of the Richmond chapter of American Muslims for Palestine, spray-painted "HAMAS IS COMIN" on a statue at Union Station. The National Park Service pulled ANSWER Coalition’s permit after the protest turned violent, with demonstrators burning U.S. flags and clashing with police.

Michael Litterst, a spokesman for the U.S. National Park Service, told me today that the ANSWER Coalition "canceled" its application for the citywide protest. He directed questions to the ANSWER Coalition about why it canceled its application. The ANSWER Coalition didn’t respond to a request for comment.


The permit reveals the intricate planning behind this supposed "grassroots" protest that the media will likely cast as spontaneous:

7 a.m.: "Load in equipment to the upper level of Meridian Hill Park."
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: "Speeches and possible acoustic music."
12:30 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.: "Organize for march."
12:45 p.m.: "March steps off (south on 16th Street to H Street at Black Lives Matter Plaza)," near the White House.
12:45 p.m. to 4 p.m.: "Remove equipment from Meridian Hill Park."
The equipment list reveals the professionalism behind these protests: one stage, 20 tables, 40 chairs, 200 handheld signs, banners, a sound system, podium, and propaganda materials, including literature and bumper stickers. The ANSWER Coalition permit said it plans to bring an "opaque secure bucket for collecting donations."

Behind the banners and bullhorns lies a well-funded operation intent on reshaping the narrative of grassroots resistance into one that serves its own ideological goals.
The Park Service permit reminded organizers in bold text: "It is prohibited to climb, remove, or in any way injure any statue, seat, wall, fountain, light poles, elevator towers, or other architectural feature" within the park.

The ANSWER Coalition’s history raises questions about its ability to maintain order. But Litterst, the U.S. National Park Service spokesman, told me: "DC courts have previously indicated that denial of or limitations on permits for First Amendment demonstrations based on contemplated acts of violence are appropriate only when and where the threat is real, substantial and beyond the reasonable control of law enforcement."


Last week, on a website created just days after Trump’s election, protest organizers said they had about 50 "endorsing" groups. Now, that number has increased to 205 groups, and it’s clear from the names on the growing list that their origins are far from grassroots. I’ve added the new names to a public Pearl Project public database, and, according to my new analysis, 58 of the groups are self-described socialist organizations, 25 are Islamist, Muslim, Arab or Palestinian, and the remaining 122 are socialist and Islamist adjacent. They consistently seek to destroy Israel as a state.

The "red" in tomorrow’s alliance includes well-funded protesters: the ANSWER Coalition; Code Pink, an anti-Israel group funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based American billionaire tied to China’s Communist Party, according to the New York Times; the Party for Socialism and Liberation, advocating for dismantling capitalism and aligning the U.S. with socialist regimes; the People’s Forum, a socialist group that serves as a proxy for Singham’s pro-China agenda, as also documented by The New York Times; and Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the U.S.

It also now includes the "Project for a Revolutionary Marxist International."
