When the pretenses drop completely, we see CBS news promoting “Merch” for “No Kings” protesters.
I don’t ever want to hear a word about corporate media pretending to be unbiased and apolitical.
[SOURCE]
This official promotion for the protest groups comes as CBS is still in litigation for a lawsuit from President Trump as an outcome of their fabricating a response for Kamala Harris during a pre-election day interview. Unreal…. well, not really, but sheesh.

Venezuela: Maduro denounces U.S media campaign against Venezuelan migrants
Who cares what that thug thinks.
Why hasn’t he been removed?
So let me get this straight… He is condemning the US policy on migration, although I don’t understand why he included the media that statement. All our media does is try to convince us that TDA is a “very peaceful” gang, and that the raping of women, children and men, then murdering them is just their way of expressing their sadness. Well, at least he told his Venezuelan gang members to return to Venezuela help in the reconstruction down there. He is also blaming the tariffs for a 99% downfall in their economy. The fact that other than the elitist, people have been starving to death and or being slaughtered if they complain about the situation there for years! What is it called when an election is stolen and a president is reinstalled into a country? (USAID doing its finest work)!
On that note, we all have a parade to watch… Some of you might even be lucky enough to be attending it.
250th anniversary of the US Army!
The 250th birthday of OUR COUNTRY is right around the corner!
Flag Day
But the only thing the woke media can talk about is that it is President Trump‘s birthday… It’s also my mother‘s 95th birthday.
America has been through so much, made some mistakes, but we are still the most amazing country, the most envied country around the world. And I think we’re on a good path to becoming the most respected country around the world again. Thank you, President Trump, Happy Birthday!
GOD BLESS AMERICA GOD BLESS THE US ARMY!
Our dear old friend turns 70 today.
God Bless THE UNITED STATES ARMY. Yes and yes
I was delivered into this world, a human being, from the womb of my perfect mother, whom I love with my entire heart, in a small ww2 vintage single wide mobile home BECAUSE nurses and doctors chose to believe that
ON THAT DAY, no matter what, I was important. That MY MOTHER was imprortant.
there is a truth here, THAT NO ONE should ever trivialize: someone …most likely someone you never knew, never bothered to care FOR ….delivered YOU to this world.
that PERSON is very likely to be LIVING right now.
Its’ your responsibility… to LEAST say, “thank you”. and that I LOVE YOU.
This IS THE WAY
God Bless America and my MOTHER and those wonderful people who never gave up…the people that stepped up and demanded: today, we win…not on my watch can we allow death.
God Bless my believers
God Bless America
Happy 95th to your mother. It’s also my Bday. I’ve shared a birthday with your mother and The Donald for 62 years now.
hey, Happy Birthday, Patriot.
Happy Birthday to your Mom! I miss my mom everyday.
considering he sent us all his criminals and now has a low crime rate, one can see why he don’t want them back.
“Venezuelan migrants” = Tren de Aragua
Pro-Trump, MAGA people need to learn how to communicate and market persuasively as well as the propagandists do in order to attract the misinformed who are teachable but have been mistaught and immersed in a culture of propaganda.
They need to learn to use LOCAL media as effectively as the manipulative left does without benefit of the lefts’ morally corrupt MO – lies. Or half-truths of their own.
They should be using local social media like Nextdoor and local radio talk shows and local papers and town halls to communicate FACTS behind the organizations and their activities without hype, and as a counterweight to MAGA insults, emotions and uninformed opinions that otherwise fill those spaces. And they do.
The uninformed have no idea about following the money and activities behind shiny objects like No Kings, while they’re being seduced with promises of moral superiority and intelligence that becoming an “activist” member of the “popular” in-group confers.
Leaving those opportunities entirely to manipulative, educated leftists and then complaining about the results after the fact is what losers do. From what I’ve observed, this No Kings event planning organization is another example of how many MAGA are missing the boat when they dismiss it as of little consequence instead of doing a little grunt work to expose its propaganda-laden message and ulterior intentions LOCALLY, just a little.
No Kings does and will attract many well-meaning but naive people predisposed to Democrat messaging. MAGA should not dismiss its targeted audience as not worth a little of their time and effort to counter the propaganda smartly outside their echo chambers when given the opportunity.

Nothing more is needed.

I highly respect The Conservative Treehouse.
It’s the 1st place I stop most mornings after I clear out my email clutter.
But I will never get my news from just one source because it’s a bad move.
God is the only perfect being; the rest of us are fallible human beings.
I agree, I have between 20-25 sites I check usually daily. CTH is always in my top three though.
Have to check out what the enemy is up to.

And several other conservative sites and videos of the WH press meetings and of course President Trumps announcements. I like to keep up.
Well, that statement is quite contradictory, as, according to scripture, human beings are “made in his image”.
Pro-Trump, MAGA people need to learn how to communicate and market persuasively as well as the propagandists do in order to attract the misinformed who are teachable but have been mistaught and immersed in a culture of propaganda.
Libertarians were trying to do that 30 years ago to what are now MAGA people, back when those Republicans were mostly voting straight ticket R for their half of the UniParty which libertarians called “two sides of the same coin.” Didn’t work, did it…
Here’s why:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/06/13/cbs-news-promotes-merchandise-for-no-kings-protests/comment-page-1/#comment-11861679
As a registered Republican for 30 years who happily votes for both sides, you talk about naive people, but there are posters here who reguarly post disinformation from random sources, and other posters eat it up as truth.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe you are the naive one?
Lots of disdain in that. “Naive, disinformation and eat it up as truth”, huh? That is a mighty broad brush to paint posters here. It’s a classic attempt to make people wonder if they should post or be considered naive.
The beauty of the Treehouse is that we communicate.
Perhaps instead of trashing other people, share links you think refute the information posted?
Aside from Sundance’s stellar content, this site offers a wide range of information, including some from visiting trolls, most of whom assure us they are Republicans. Not saying you’re a troll or naive or posting misinformation though.
I read The Conservative Treehouse, Truth and the Epoch Times regularly. Lately on Epoch Times there are a lot of people (trolls) saying that Hamas is the victim of slander and prejudice against a gentle, misunderstood people and they are being viciously attacked. Sorry… No amount of words will convince me of that. Things are being said against ICE and law-enforcement in general. On Truth they attack President Trump and the US. I am assuming that because they are coming on more conservative sites that they are losing their propaganda war in general. The 19% democrat base pretty much says it all. They have lost the narrative and consequently, they have lost the war. What we are seeing at these riots are the very few idealist left, mostly university students, and the actual terrorist groups that have been allowed to enter the US unchecked in the last few years. I believe this is why the riots are so vicious. Only the most vicious rats will survive a sinking ship.
Well we do know that many Republicans are on the opposite of most CTH readers – think R I N O
“broad brushes” are commonly used, as that is easier than examining more carefully, and stating more clearly.
If you are happily voting for both sides over the last 30 years that makes you at best a Rino.
You seem to be a naive person subject to disinformation.
Maybe, you would be more at home here, https://lincolnproject.us/
🎯
You know nothing of my opinion of comments posted here. Maybe your arrogance leads you to believes you are the only one who doesn’t eat up everything you read here as truth. Or is it your naivete?
Imagine posting at the treehouse and using an empty meaningless term like “disinformation”
There is no such thing, there is only information. You decide which you choose to believe.
Probably a paid DNC troll to come on a conservative site and say he happily votes for both sides.
Mom! MOM! Jimmie is making TROUBLE AGAIN!!
You say you happily vote for both sides. Why? There aren’t that many “Blue Dog” Democrats across this country.
They were purged from their own party during the Obama years.
“posters here who reguarly post disinformation from random sources”
Then why not correct the record, and post corrections from your reputable non-random sources?
As long as the left holds the three networks, the propaganda will continue. Nothing we can do because most older adults still only have 3 things.
Local media is just as bad. Very hard to dismantle the voice of leftism for as long as TV has been around. And yes, most still get their news there. Newspaper, same.
The uninformed will always be the uninformed.
No, No Kings will not attract well meaning people. Respectfully, you haven’t been paying attention if you believe this.
“The three networks” and “TV” have nothing to do with what my comment was addressing, Your reply suggests to me that without being capable of distinguishing the uninformed from the unteachable, few as they might be, you join the ranks of both.
The local TV news in my area is as bad as the MSM. However, I am fortunate that there is a local weekly newspaper that is very good at holding all public official’s feet to the fire.
You are fortunate!!
I live in Florida. Our media is totally biased!! One man said that the only thing that their newspaper is good for is wrapping fish and he is right!!! During the “summer of love” and Covid, I was censored so many times on Next-door for thanking the police for everything they were doing and speaking out against the VAX and the lockdowns that I finally censored myself right off of there! Luckily, so many independent news stations have evolved an are now be recognized at the White House press meetings. Sundance was the front runner in this and I’m glad I was told about the treehouse
I see people attempt to rebut the disinformation on Next Door, and boy do they get jumped on; if their offerings are irrefutable those entire postings get disappeared.
I have had a few go poof!
A few years ago the NYT confirmed what we all knew, that the left is more emotional.
Given that tendency to *feel* rather than think, I have concluded that the gross sanctimoniousness the left steeps in has formed the veil to which St. Paul refers in the NT. You really can’t get through it; maybe the Holy Spirit can.
I witness the same on ND – but not every time! That’s the key. Lose some, win some. Knowing ND’s rules, especially against national political discussions, and persistence and numbers count when it comes to reporting violations and posting respectfully informative comments that can only be removed if ND monitors violate their own rules for what qualifies for removal. They do, it’s just a fact. But not always.
A woman was talking about her son and what was happening to him, and ALL law-enforcement during the riots in New York and all around the country during the “summer of love.” I told her to be sure to thank him and everyone that was being viciously attacked while they were trying to protect US citizens. That was censored, but talk about how peaceful the protests were and how vicious law-enforcement was being was aloud. I will engage in conversation about most anything… As long as I am allowed to talk and be heard!!!
ND is a very leftist liberal organization that is very unneighborly.
There’s an art to using ND and other hostile media to advantage that involves knowing their rules, which are for the most part to treat others as you wish to be treated, expecting unequal application of them frequently, but not always, and avoiding tribal thinking in spite of that. It requires reporting violations by leftists persistently and by a sufficient number that it eventually has an impact. It’s not an arena intended to host political or religious arguments and discussions of NATIONAL politics is outlawed in their rules.
When you have places that you can go and both sides of sides of a sides of a discussion are allowed to to be heard without censorship, why would you go on something like that?
You obviously don’t know what’s unique about it or how to use it.
Fellow Floridian here. The only thing I disagree with in your comment is that the major Florida newspapers are only good for wrapping fish. They also make perfect liners for the bottom of my macaw’s cage, and I get the extra pleasure of seeing fresh droppings on photos of liberals and Demonrat politicians!
I laughed so hard I just startled the birds and squirrels in my backyard!!
We don’t have representation so any movement is pointless
“Well meaning…” bah! Useful idiots and willfully ignorant, selfish, and obtuse specimens of inhumanity.
I don’t condemn all for some, as you do.
I was censored on NextDoor.
me too!
They blocked my first account. I have another one, but don’t use it anymore. They don’t even say anything. You just suddenly can’t access it.
I’ve reported leftist comments that were in violation of ND rules and they were removed. Not always, not as often as they should, but often enough.
Our local paper is a leftist rag AND in every article finding fault WITH OUR POTUS. It get its articles and commentary from the Associated Press. It doesn’t print conservative opinions. And it spends a lot of ink extolling the virtues of the Democrat politicians. Worst paper EVER!! NO thank You!!
I put something on the Next Door website (local people communicating with each other) about NoKings. Someone posted something making NoKings look like a made up thing. All I put was that Craig’s list was advertising out of work actors to show up for $200 per day and $1,000 if they got filmed. Then I said it is a real thing with a website and that a Walmart heir had put a full page ad in the NY Times to advertise NoKings.
I went on it to see a comment that was made and to my shock, my comments were deleted.
Now, I wonder who runs that site. I will not be using it in the future.

In honor of the late, great Archie Bunker, I am making a sign that says “GO BACK TO PUERTO RICO”.
Not sure if all of the violence, evil, and plain old common garden-variety ignorance and stupidity we’re being treated to these days by could be properly tagged “accelerationism” or not.
But I do know I am being constantly reminded by it of the excellent Tracy-Hepburn movie, “Keeper of the Flame,” the mere thought of which, even at this long remove from when I first watched it, still sends shivers through me.
I highly recommend it, though I am unlikely to ever watch it again myself.
All the forces of darkness have come out of the wood work.
Their vitriol and madness has exposed them.
We can see them now, and they are legion.
This is what a spiritual war looks like.
If we do not fight in whatever way we are able against what we can now see, then not only shame on us, but woe be to us as well.
The forces of darkness come out regularly.
It happens each time they feel threatened, politically and financially (grifting).
The rest of the time, they work behind the scenes to get their way via government so they can keep grifting for themselves, their friends, and big money organizations that want taxpayer money.
It’s about 2 things: power and money.
Don’t be fooled, just because someone has an “R” behind their name doesn’t mean they don’t grift.
They ALL grift USMC (and thank you for all of your sacrifices…assuming you are a Marine).
It’s precisely why we don’t have strong support in the CONgress for all of PDJT’s EO’s and goals. After the last 8 years, I am for calling them out as traitors, straight up. Especially the neocons and warmongers among the “elected” officials. (All of them need to disclose their payoffs from defense and pharma companies and NGO’s.)
I make no distinction, dear sir, according to labels.
Many times the worst are those who wear the false faces of rectitude and patriotism. They are certainly the most reprehensible.
Continuing with your spiritual war comment, isn’t it interesting how they chose “No Kings” instead of “no dictators”. They’ve been calling PDJT a dictator but the protest is labeled “No Kings”. Why?
When the word “king” is capitalized it can refer to Christ, the King of kings.
Makes you think.
BINGO!!!!
Just makes them sound even more like the Pharisees they are.
I see that you are like me, Toolnut, in that your thoughts drift higher than what we see before us.
I doubt very much that they give room for Christ, the Saviour of their souls if only they knew. Perhaps as the years go by, they will reflect and understand they were simply useful pawns, no more than that. Age and all which comes with it changes most. There is a King…one day perhaps they will come to know it.
…but for the appalling moment
Which reiterates for us that this is, first and foremost, a spiritual battle!
Is it a reference to King George

King Crabs

This is why we have the F.C.C. The CBS owned and operated local TV licenses (for stations that broadcast CBS “news”) are subject to F.C.C. Rules and Regulations. The F.C.C. is controlled by Republicans. Where are they on this case?
Exactly! Why aren’t they? Are they stupid? They don’t care? They choose not to know?
“Are they stupid? They don’t care? They choose not to know?”
How about “They are part of it?”
Yeah, that, too.
And “All three.”
They are PAID not to know
CBS must have put money into the protests today.
EVERY conservative should go to Amazon, find the no kings merch, and report it as offensive. Flood Amazon with complaints to let them know we do not accept their involvement. To no surprise, many of the sellers are from China!!!!!
Walmart too. They are quick to distance themselves after a full-page ad in The New York Times supporting the protests, placed by Walmart heiress Christy Walton. Check out those media outlets continuing to frame the event as “Trump’s parade,” suggesting a personal motive to roll tanks through
Washington, D.C. for his birthday.
Thanks, just did it!
Communist Broadcasting System CBS. They should lose their FCC license. But our CONgress is complicit.
Turns out the revolution will be monitized
Haha… monetized not televised.
They were right about it not being televised – with the exception for showing burning cars and buildings for propaganda purposes.
The real activity seems to be “community organizing” their way across America – that events like these help fund and enable.
Maybe instead they should call it “no shame”, because that’s really what describes them best.
Just when I thought I could hate the media no less and no more than I do…. I wake up to another reason to hate them more.😠
There’s no end to this bottomless pit because there is no end to their evil.
I don’t recall CBS advertising available merch for any pro life march or for the J6 tourists for that matter.
I am thinking this “No Kings” BS is truly at the core a Chinese Communist effort – first do it here, in America – it’s allowed, of course –
but would it be allowed in other nations where the system of government DOES involve a Royal Family?
Then have some “lone nut” motivated by participation in the “No Kings” protests here in America to do something in another nation?
Andy Ngo was on Newsmax earlier and said taxpayer monies are funding a good bit of this via grants.
What utter lunacy. We have got to cut off the funding to anti-American agitators.

These are the ones behind ‘no kings’. https://www.nokings.org/partners
The irony of the gaslighting in the so-called “No Kings” zeitgeist can’t be overlooked, so let’ look at it.
Obama ruled with a pen and a phone and proceeded to institute DACA after proclaiming that he had no such authority because he was “not a king,” – without consequence.
Bill and Hillary leveraged their time in office to rake in millions of dollars to the Clinton Global Initiative. And when Hillary faced a subpoena about her home brew server, she proceeded to methodically destroy all evidence – without consequence.
Joe Biden used his time in office to effect a masterclass grift for not only himself, but his drug addict son and his entire grifting family. And when faced with the very same charges that the establishment attempted to use to imprison Trump, the mishandling of sensitive documents (even though as Chief Executive Trump was the only individual in the entire federal government with the authority to determine how any classified document should be handled, as opposed to Senator Joe), Joe was let off the hook due to being senile – without consequence, while Trump was pilloried and raked over the coals.
In fact, if memory serves, there is very little for which Trump was not raked over the coals, even down to the criminalization of official acts from his first term. And now, during his second term, every tinpot federal black robe in every podunk district aims to usurp his position as Chief Executive and control every decision of the Executive branch, with a wink and a nod from a roving majority of the Supreme Court – without consequence.
And yet, it’s Trump, if you can believe the lemmings on the streets, who is the royal threat.
During any revolution it’s the original revolutionaries who end with their heads on the chopping blocks before the real oppression filters down to the masses. The people out in the streets, beyond the paid agitators and the invaders, tee up with their collars and chains and demand to be enslaved by those to whom they are just numbers, to be quashed if they go off the plantation. And as long as they’re fed their bread and circuses, they grin and nod until the next call goes out to agitate and virtue signal. This country cannot long survive a populace this threatened by Constitutional liberty.
John Adams said it best:
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Beautifully written. And quite frightening.
So liberal blue governors are not kings either, but yet they act like it!
Lets face it, their pretense at neutrality hasn’t been persuasive for decades.
But yes, this is a total giving up on the pretense.
The Marxist/Communists infiltrated out media outlets long ago and have been shoveling out propaganda as fast as they can produce it (daily) since then. The “blessing” in all this is that FINALLY, with the alternative information sources developing today on the internet, We the People are sitting up and starting to pay attention. That’s a good thing. Now they need to get motivated and start getting involved in stopping “the long march” through out institutions. Arrests, trials, convictions and incarcerations, coupled with mass deportations would be a good start.
The left has come up with some pretty lame ideas regarding President Trump. Considering they have put road blocks along everything he tries to do with judges; to suggest he’s a king is plain ridiculous for even them.
PDJT isn’t a king, he’s a 5-star general.
WRAL, the nbc affiliate in Raleigh NC has been promoting the “protest” for days on their ‘news’ broadcasts attempting to build up interest.
That is par for the course. I go to the NC coast occasionally and have mapped a route so that I don’t even have to drive thru Raleigh. Where I live is being over taken by “Triangle” people. I’m looking for country property!!
NO KINGS report:: south west ga town of 70,000 approx. 70 percent minority. Protests from 10 a to 12 n in front of Olive Garden.. 30 to 40 people 90 percent white and over 40 with no kings signs etc( waving American flags to replace LA Mexican flags) courthouse protest about 6 to 8 people.. don’t think the black community falling for this Marxist bull this time!!
Found in the bin… 🙁
A thought: Using 2020 as an indicator of what to expect, it will get real ugly and violent later tonight. Then, the MAGA US Attorneys in the places where the violence occurs can subpoena the records of all the online e-commerce sites that sold the demonstration gear to identify everyone who bought it. That pool can quickly be narrowed and some can be interviewed and showed pictures and video of rioters to see if they can identify them. (“I’m not going down for my neighbor’s dumb kid, even if I do agree with him.”)
This just adds to the data available to help nab the bad actors and do it quickly. Heck, within a day they identified the guy who passed out the face shields in LA and have already arrested him.
Big Data, meet MAGA.
We should have a counter “Kings” movement.
One of the chants the protestors chant is “This is what democracy looks like.” So, how about a photo of President Trump at a podium with the Presidential Seal on the front, with the caption below the photo:
THIS is what Democracy looks like
except the USA is not a democracy; it’s a constitutional republic

Ho hum, No Kings just doesn’t have the usual zing. They need to accelerate right to the usual end point and go with No Hitler. And of course No Nazis. Both of those are always very effective.
Negative slogans just don’t work. The problem the left has is that they can’t express their intentions in positive terms because no one wants what they are selling. So they have to rely on “No melted ice cream” rather than “kale for everyone.”

No Kings could mean no Martin Luther King, and that is racist. It can also mean “Rule of Law” but then the protests would have to be orderly and lawful. Or it can mean “Anarchy.”
We’ll see.
Who’s a king? Do these people ever stop and think about how their supposed love for “our democracy” squares with their childish inability to accept its results when a vote doesn’t go their way?
People with the emotional maturity of toddlers shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
How did Jesus say the last days would be signaled that the unrest would be as birthpangs getting closer together while escalating.

Any democrat who thinks his or her liberalism will save them from the nihilist mob had better think again. If they are part of the system they are just as at risk as MAGA Republicans.
“The alleged gunman in the deadly shooting targeting two Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party lawmakers and their spouses had a manifesto in his car that listed the two lawmakers and “many lawmakers and other officials”, according to police. The suspect is on the run on foot.
UPDATE: A photo was released by the Minnesota State Patrol showing ‘No Kings’ flyers on the seat of the alleged gunman’s car (Photo at end of article.) Police are asking the public to not attend the statewide No Kings protests against President Trump scheduled for today.”

Complain about “No Kings” and you’ll now be placed in this nut’s category.
This kind of crap, besides being morally wrong, just plays into the hands of those who WANT to place us in that category and should, therefore, be suspected as some nut who was intentionally incited to do this.
“No Kings” protests in Minnesota canceled as authorities search for suspect who shot 2 lawmakers.
June 14, 2025
https://www.yahoo.com/news/minnesota-mayor-says-two-state-142453861.html
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (AP) — State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic asked people “out of an abundance of caution” not to attend any of the “No Kings” protests that were scheduled for across the state on Saturday.
The warnings come after two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were shot. Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House Speaker, and her spouse were shot and killed early Saturday in their Brooklyn Park home. A second state lawmaker, Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin and were wounded. Officials said the shootings were politically motivated.
Bogojevic said authorities didn’t have any direct evidence that the protests would be targeted, but said the suspect had some “No Kings” flyers in their car.
Organizers announced that all of the protests across the state were canceled.
A man posing as a police officer shot and killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in a brazen attack their home early Saturday, and a second lawmaker and his wife were wounded in a separate shooting in what Gov. Tim Walz described as “targeted political violence.”
“When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials. We immediately made alerts to the state. We took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary,” said Bruley.
Hours after the shootings, hundreds of police and sheriff deputies from departments in the region, some in tactical gear with assault style weapons were scattered through the town. Occasional police roadblocks where cars are stopped and checked.
With the gunman still at large, all planned “No Kings” demonstrations against President Donald Trump were cancelled, organizers said.
Walz said Hortman and Hoffman were deliberately targeted.
Who didn’t think false flag as soon as they read “the suspect had some ‘No Kings’ flyers in their car.”?
And didn’t the reporter know by then that the suspect had flyers in his car, not their car?
Sorry, I didn’t see your post. Note to self…(read to the bottom first BD)! 😉
Breaking and Related:
Car was full of NO KINGS flyers.
“as well as a “manifesto” and a list of other politicians’ names, said police, who briefly cornered the shooter at Hortman’s home before the suspect fled.”
Take away common sense and pattern recognition and there’s a plausible explanation.
Doing an A/B comparison, looks a lot like this guy.
Dr. Vance Boelter E.d.D.
CEO Red Lion Group
Dr. Vance Boelter E.d.D. is CEO of Red Lion Group based in The Democratic Republic of Congo. He is also CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services based in Minnesota.
https://www.mnafricansunited.org/notid/dr.-vance-boelter-e.d.d.
Folks are reporting that it is the same guy. One poster claims that Melissa Hortman was targeted because she “went across party lines” and voted AGAINST healthcare for illegals in MN. Would be interesting to compare his hit list to the voting record on that bill.
Not going to provide a link since my malware blocker stopped an ad there from loading. Yep, it’s DR. Boelter:
According to multiple emerging reports, the suspect named in connection with the shooting appears to be the same Vance Luther Boelter who was appointed by Governor Tim Walz in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, a critical advisory body focused on employment growth, economic development, and education policy alignment. Boelter had previously been appointed in 2016 by then-Governor Mark Dayton to the Governor’s Workforce Development Council, underscoring a history of public trust and high-level engagement in workforce policy.
From Workforce Leader to Suspect: A Shocking Fall from Public Service
Boelter’s professional background had once positioned him as a valuable voice in shaping Minnesota’s workforce strategy. With a doctorate in education and leadership, and decades of corporate and international business experience, Boelter was seen as a seasoned figure capable of bridging private sector innovation with public sector vision.
His résumé boasted executive roles with major corporations such as Nestlé, Del Monte, and 7-Eleven, and he had led companies involved in security and consulting, including Praetorian Guard Security Services and the Red Lion Group, which operates in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
His appointments to the state’s workforce boards were intended to inject business acumen and global perspective into Minnesota’s evolving labor landscape. At the time, Boelter’s involvement was celebrated as part of a bipartisan effort to elevate workforce readiness and economic competitiveness across all regions of the state.

The United States Announces $424 Million in Additional Assistance for the Democratic Republic of the Congo
By U.S. Embassy Kinshasa
August 7, 2024
https://cd.usembassy.gov/the-united-states-announces-424-million-in-additional-assistance-for-the-democratic-republic-of-the-congo/
Today, the United States, through USAID, announced nearly $424 million in humanitarian and health assistance to address the ongoing catastrophe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This includes $414 million in humanitarian assistance to support people experiencing persistent humanitarian needs resulting from conflict and displacement. This announcement, made in Kinshasa by the U.S. Ambassador to the DRC Lucy Tamlyn and U.S. Representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture Jeffrey Prescott, also includes an additional $10 million in health assistance to respond to the current mpox outbreak in the DRC and in other affected countries in the region. USAID is also donating 50,000 mpox vaccines to the DRC, which is the country most impacted by this outbreak.

The Congo region in Central Africa includes two main countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of the Congo. The DRC is the larger of the two, known for its vast natural resources and biodiversity, while the Republic of the Congo is smaller and has a significant oil industry.
More than slightly smelly:
Q: What are the details about the Red Lion Group LLC operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?
Grok:
The available information on Red Lion Group LLC’s operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is limited and largely sourced from online platforms, including web results and posts on X, which lack comprehensive detail and raise questions about transparency. Below is a summary of the details found, with critical examination of the sources and their reliability.
### Key Details About Red Lion Group LLC in the DRC:
1. **Leadership and Claimed Role**:
– Dr. Vance Luther Boelter, who holds a Doctorate in Education from Cardinal Stritch University, is identified as the CEO of Red Lion Group LLC, operating in the DRC since December 2021. His LinkedIn profile describes him as working on “several projects” in the DRC, though no specifics are provided.
– Boelter is also reportedly the CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services, based in Minnesota, suggesting he may oversee multiple entities.
2. **Nature of Operations**:
– Red Lion Group LLC is described as a “Personal Protection & Security agency” founded on principles of integrity, accountability, professionalism, and reliability. Its website claims it employs certified agents and provides a variety of security services, but no detailed operational scope or client list is disclosed.
– Some sources, including a profile on mnafricansunited.org, indicate that Red Lion Group is based in the DRC, with Boelter’s experience tied to operational excellence and continuous improvement in industries like convenience retail (e.g., 7-Eleven) and food production (e.g., Nestle, Del Monte). However, there is no clear explanation of how this expertise translates to security operations in the DRC.
– X posts speculate that Red Lion Group may function as a non-governmental organization (NGO) or a shell company, with vague references to “projects” in the DRC. These posts question the group’s transparency, noting that its website offers only generic mission statements without verifiable results.
3. **Allegations and Speculation**:
– Several X posts raise concerns about the legitimacy of Red Lion Group’s operations. For instance, one post alleges it could be a “shell company used to launder money and traffic children,” though no evidence supports these claims.
– Another post describes Red Lion Group as a “professional paramilitary organization” with predominantly white, former military employees holding a “Christian dominionism ideology,” but this is unsubstantiated and appears speculative.
– The lack of transparency in funding and project outcomes is a recurring theme in X discussions, with users noting that Red Lion Group’s activities in the DRC are not well-documented.
4. **Context of Boelter’s Background**:
– Boelter’s LinkedIn profile and other sources indicate he was previously a General Manager at 7-Eleven (2016–2021) and held roles at major companies like Marathon Petroleum, Nestle, and Del Monte. His transition from corporate management to leading a security-focused entity in the DRC raises questions about the group’s operational focus and his qualifications for such a role.
– Boelter was appointed to Minnesota’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board by Democratic Governors Mark Dayton (2016) and Tim Walz (2019), with his term ending in January 2023. This political connection has fueled speculation about his activities, though no direct link ties his board role to Red Lion Group’s DRC operations.
5. **Broader DRC Context**:
– The DRC is a resource-rich country with significant cobalt, lithium, and coltan deposits, but it faces ongoing conflict, particularly in the east, involving over 120 armed groups. This unstable environment makes it a challenging setting for legitimate business operations, especially in security, and could attract entities with unclear motives.
– Private security firms in the DRC often operate in a murky legal and ethical landscape, with risks of involvement in conflict-related activities or exploitation of resources. Red Lion Group’s lack of detailed public records aligns with this broader pattern, though no evidence directly implicates it in illicit activities.
### Critical Examination:
– **Source Reliability**: The primary sources (e.g., National Zero, mnafricansunited.org, LinkedIn) provide fragmented information, and X posts are largely speculative, lacking verifiable evidence. The absence of official records, financial disclosures, or detailed project reports from Red Lion Group itself raises red flags about its legitimacy.
– **Transparency Issues**: The group’s website (redlionsgroup.com) is vague, offering no specifics on contracts, clients, or operational outcomes in the DRC. This opacity is consistent with concerns raised on X about potential shell company behavior.
– **Boelter’s Role**: His background in retail and corporate management seems incongruous with leading a security firm in a conflict zone, suggesting either a significant unreported shift in expertise or a front for other activities. The lack of clarity on his “projects” in the DRC further fuels skepticism.
– **Allegations**: Claims of money laundering, human trafficking, or paramilitary activities are serious but unsupported by evidence. Such accusations may reflect distrust of opaque organizations operating in the DRC rather than confirmed wrongdoing.
### Conclusion:
Red Lion Group LLC, under Dr. Vance Boelter’s leadership, is a security and personal protection agency reportedly operating in the DRC since December 2021. However, details about its operations are scarce, with its website and public profiles offering only generic descriptions of services. Boelter’s background in corporate management and his political connections in Minnesota add intrigue but do not clarify the group’s activities. Speculative X posts raise concerns about transparency and legitimacy, but no concrete evidence supports allegations of illicit behavior. The DRC’s complex security environment underscores the need for caution when evaluating such entities, but without further documentation, Red Lion Group’s operations remain poorly understood.
Uh-huh. Online content is being removed and the amazing Grok already knows that.
Q: What information is available online about Dr. Vance Boelter E.d.D. CEO of Red Lion Group?
Information available online about Dr. Vance Boelter, Ed.D., CEO of Red Lion Group, is limited and primarily tied to professional profiles and business affiliations, with some inconsistencies noted across sources. Here’s a summary based on available data:
– **Professional Background**:
– Dr. Vance Boelter holds a Doctorate in Leadership (Ed.D.) from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, completed between 2011 and 2016. He also earned a Master of Science in Management from the same institution and a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
– He is listed as the CEO of Red Lion Group, reportedly based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), since December 2021. The company’s website has been taken down, and its LinkedIn page is no longer active, but archived data suggests it aimed to operate in oil refining, logging, and glass production in the DRC.
– Boelter is also identified as the CEO or President of Praetorian Guard Security Services, a Minnesota-based company offering armed residential security patrols. The company’s website highlights his security experience in regions like Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East (including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon, and Gaza Strip), and North America, with training from private security firms and U.S. military personnel.
– His career includes roles at major corporations such as 7-Eleven (General Manager, 2016–2021), Greencore, Del Monte Foods, Johnsonville Sausage, Nestle, Tesoro, and Marathon Speedway. His expertise spans operations, technical services, quality services, lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement.
– **LinkedIn and Public Presence**:
– Boelter’s LinkedIn profile describes him as a leadership development and operational excellence expert with over 500 connections, based in the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area. He recently posted about seeking work in the food industry in locations like Texas, Minnesota, Florida, and Washington DC-Baltimore.
– A month prior to June 2025, he updated his LinkedIn to indicate he had returned to the U.S. after three years in the DRC with Red Lion Group and was open to new opportunities. [USAID funding dried up? – W]
– Some online discussions, such as on Reddit, have questioned the legitimacy of his credentials, noting the unusual formatting of his degree as “E.d.D.” instead of the standard “Ed.D.” and speculating about the authenticity of his business ventures.
– **Other Affiliations**:
– Boelter served on Minnesota’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board, appointed by Democratic Governor Mark Dayton in 2016 and reappointed by Governor Tim Walz in 2019, with his term ending in January 2023. He also chaired the Dakota-Scott Workforce Development Board for over a decade, resigning in 2024.
– He is linked to Minnesota Africans United, a nonprofit tied to the Democratic Party, where his bio appeared before being removed. The organization focuses on the well-being of African immigrant communities in Minnesota.
– Boelter has been associated with evangelical activities, including a ministry run with his wife, according to a tax filing and a YouTube video where he is described as preaching in the DRC. His family, including daughters named Faith, Hope, and Grace, is noted for strong Christian beliefs, with social media posts featuring Bible quotes. [from previous Grok content in previous post: – Another post describes Red Lion Group as a “professional paramilitary organization” with predominantly white, former military employees holding a “Christian dominionism ideology,” but this is unsubstantiated and appears speculative.]
– **Speculation and Gaps**:
– Some X posts and online commentary suggest skepticism about Red Lion Group’s operations, with claims it may have been a front for other activities or lacked substantial evidence of its work. One user described it as resembling “NGO fraud” aimed at securing funding, possibly from USAID, though no concrete evidence supports this.
– The sudden removal of Red Lion Group’s and Praetorian Guard’s online presence has fueled speculation about their legitimacy.
– Boelter’s transition from managing a 7-Eleven to leading an international NGO and security firm has raised questions about the plausibility of his career trajectory.
**Note**: The information above is compiled from publicly available sources as of June 14, 2025, and reflects a mix of verified professional details and unconfirmed claims. Some sources, particularly social media posts, may contain inaccuracies or speculative content. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, cross-referencing with official records or direct contact with relevant organizations would be necessary.
This kind of stands out: “– Boelter’s transition from managing a 7-Eleven to leading an international NGO and security firm has raised questions about the plausibility of his career trajectory.“

I’m currently in the Democratic Republic of Congo working on several projects. If I’m slow to respond, my apologies, as some cities have a better internet signal than others, and some are pretty limited. I will respond as soon as I can.
Red Lion Group had a great meeting with the new Governor of Congo Central to talk about our private business projects s That is all moving forward in that Province. Some of our team will be staying a little longer in Washington, DC, in March when we are back in the U.S. to connect again with the DRC Ambassador about how our third trip to the DRC has gone everything on schedule and within budget.
Hope everyone has been well in all areas.
Sincerely,
Vance Boelter

So far, from what I’ve seen, U.S. flags have proliferated and 1776 Revolution against the Crown, with PDJT being the modern ‘King’ is the theme. Granted I haven’t seen everything, only what a few outlets back east have covered.
Still, that stood out to me. If pervasive, clever.
Great example to of what I often opine, that our hard work has gone to, and continues to go to, plumping up the Communist war chest. These ‘protests’ aren’t grass roots, they’ve been paid for and Elon Musk has identified some of the back channels that pay for them with our money.
Without cutting off the cash to Communist NGO’s, institutions and corporations, our hard work, time away from loved ones and danger, for some of us, will continue to support the enemy throughout time.
We have choices.
Personally I suspect all these protests are sponsored by the corporate media so they can support the agenda with a false narrative. Their viewers suck it up and buy into it. Why this nation is so strongly divided. If we had a real FBI that wasn’t politicized they would be able to find the conspiracy.
Not only “unreal” but totally disgusting – not fit for citizen consumption. Message to traitors – get off our property and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. But, if it does, we don’t really give a flip. This is for our military – past and present. Happy Warriors Day.
Happy Lion King Day!
💝🇺🇲🦁👑🇺🇲🎈🎂🎁
💕Happy Birthday, 🎉
🎉 Mr. President! 💕
Oh the irony of NJ residents living under the tyranny of gov. Phil Murphy (aka gingivitis Hitler) standing in the rain to protest kings.
lol. Happened upon a Kings Day event in our town of about 60,000.
We counted 7, yes seven people standing on the corner like idiots. Can’t wait to see the 6pm news. They were there, but I bet the newscast will be chi’s with hundreds!!!
Five and dime— and that’s too much! SPIT!!!
doom sucks
success rewards . ?
we might need to learn a new LANGUAGE.
we reflect upon the ancient lessons about TRUTH.
God Bless America
You would think they would be sick of being sued.
I saw a video clip a few hours ago of an old persons home with old people, some with walkers, exiting the door complete with gold paper crowns and signs that said “No Kings” and little American flags. They were getting in a small white bus- the sort that take folks in assisted living facilities to supermarkets or casinos.
They were smiling and happy about their outing. Maybe they were paid $16 per hour and were smiling and happy to have a job.
I looked for the video but couldn’t find it so I apologize I am unable to link it.
I would bet none of those folks knew or cared anything about the political issues involved. Reminded me of the movie, “Chinatown.”
I just went to my local CBS affiliate website (WIVB) to watch what they had to say about NoKings.
A few thousand turned out in Niagara Square.
The people they interviewed, were all deceived and spouting lies.
MSM has to share in much of the blame in what kind of dung has been put into people’s heads.
Even the fabled Walter Cronkite was a stand up leftist. CBS was always on the wrong team. Now they all are. But, in their defense, they are now just trying to survive and they are making a lot of terrible decisions
Reminds me of the jackals in Lion King chanting No King, No King when they thought the threat of the Lion King was over.
Happy Birthday, Mr President!! The threat of the Lion and the King is not over. Just beginning….
