Protests planned across US on Presidents Day in response to Trump's national emergency for border wall

By Aris Folley - 02/16/19 06:33 PM EST

Protesters have planned demonstrations across the U.S. for Presidents Day in response to President Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency for border wall funding.

USA Today reports a wave of protests have been planned from New York to California and Texas to oppose the president’s national emergency declaration.

A number of demonstrations are being planned by the liberal advocacy group, MoveOn.org, and others have been listed on Rally List.

“Donald Trump has declared a #FakeNationalEmergency—an illegal power grab from an unhinged man to push his racist, dangerous policies,” MoveOn.org states on its site for protests taking place on Presidents Day.

"We're mobilizing rapid-response events on Presidents Day—Monday, 2/18—against Trump's fake crisis and racist deportation force and to stand with immigrant, Muslim, and Black and brown communities to stop Trump's dangerous and illegal power grab," the group continues.

The site also allows users to input a zip code or city to find the nearest protest to attend on Monday.

Just One of Several Mentions of 'New World Order'

'... we have before us, the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and future generations, a New World Order ... when we are successful, ***and we will be***, we have a real chance at this New World Order ... a credible United Nations ... to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders'

It really was 1731. New Year’s Day had been March 25. Eleven days separate February 11, 1731 from February 22, 1732.

From the source you cited:

Britain amended its calendar in 1751 and 1752. First, it decreed that 1752 begin on Jan. 1 rather than March 25, meaning that the year 1751 lasted only nine months and 1752 lasted 15 months. It then adjusted to the Gregorian calendar by dropping 11 days in September 1752 (Sept. 3-13).

I remember my dates for Haydn (1732-1809) by the birth years of Washington and Lincoln. Fortunately, Haydn was born on March 31.

I checked the rally in my town. It pointed to a FB event. I clicked on that and I see almost 600 people were “invited” via FB, with 22 people “planning” to attend. I see 19 of those have female first names, 2 male, 1 indeterminate.

Thank You for the reminder, too bad HE left out the catchy “ein yabba, ein dabba, ein do” part. Brings to mind the hair on the back of my neck going “achtung” when he spoke of NWO.

It’s convenient that they picked today for the protests, since, most of the leftists loons who “work” are employed by the Federal Government or by schools and so they have the day off.

The Right has to work today. My husband, myself,
My son in law .... we’re all working a full long today today .... like we do everyday. Between that and trying to maintain a home,
Pay taxes and keep our heads above water without government assistance, we dont have time to stand in the streets and hold up signs and yell all day. I myself am in the medical field so we’re open to cater to a patient population that also is derived of various slackers, pain pill seekers, and other malcontents who have all the time in the world. At times,
I’d say a third of my day is wasted seeing people who fake being sick to get themselves anwork note to get out of work for a few days.

And if you only knew how much time we Medical professionals spend filling out family leave paperwork for these duds .... which is 100 percent abused by the way ....

Where are the protests in support of a secure border?


Unfortunately, we are the silent majority. We don’t have organizers to get these things done because I guess we just trust in God. I think that should change and I can use a very potent Bible verse to justify that action. God may ask for stillness and trust and other times he might say, “Get going and keep trusting.” God said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Ex. 14:15 It’s so important to listen for his voice, to know when to be still, and also to know when to get up and move forward.

Perhaps we need someone with organizational skills and contacts; someone like Jim Robinson to organize a mass multi state rally to support our President.

Yes, you are correct it is George’s B Day and that is how I remember it. I frankly do not wish to honor the jackass eared one we had nor the dope smoking sex pervert we had there both for eight years during my adult life.

If there are protesters, there should be counter-protesters.

The only counter protesters they should have there are immigration agents, US Marshals, and Greyhound bus drivers.

Blacks don’t even like legal immigrants. Legal Hispanics don’t like the illegals, either. Muslims think they’re all infidels. Good luck, snowflake leftards. Hope you run smack into the wall of Reality soon.
