What is it with the left and their irrational freak-outs? Oh, yes, we all know that if they were rational, they wouldn't be leftists. But sometimes you run across a real eye-roller, and Saturday's "No Kings" protests are sure providing plenty of those. In fact, reading about these protests is inclined to make one start facepalming so hard and so repeatedly that it sounds like a standing ovation at the Royal Albert Hall.
Case in point: Edward-Isaac Dovere, a CNN creature, issued an X post noting that there were snipers on the roof of the National Gallery in the District of Columbia - you know, the nation's capital city, which always has a significant Secret Service presence. And now the leftists protesting against kings, an issue we resolved a couple of centuries ago, are worried that they might just get shot.
the political moment: there are multiple snipers with scopes and rifles on the roof the National Gallery above the DC No Kings rally. DC police say they are part of necessary security, but the crowd doesn’t know that and it’s freaking many out that they’re about to get shot. pic.twitter.com/oeTyvwx2yt

Oh, for the luvva Pete.
There's no small amount of projection going on in that crowd, assuming that Dovere is correct, and the presence of law enforcement officers is truly "freaking many out that they're about to get shot." Every such incident in recent months, where someone with a scoped rifle takes a shot at someone, has been carried out by a leftist nutcase, with a conservative or a law enforcement officer (see: Dallas ICE facility) as their target. Every one. And given the propensity of leftist protests to turn into riots, it's probably not the worst idea to have some LEOs keeping an eye on things from higher ground.
The usual suspects were out this Saturday as well, attention-seeking as always. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was lecturing a crowd, talking freely about topics she knew little about, while 1/1024th of the crowd was paying attention. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took time off from layering Velveeta slices on frozen hamburger patties to hold up a sign at a New York rally, proclaiming the need to fix a health-care crisis - that would be Obamacare, but the befuddled Senator can hardly admit that.
Meanwhile, the protesters were proclaiming everyone to the political right of Fidel Castro to be literally Hitler, KKK Grand Wizards, fascist dictator wannabes, and just generally icky people - probably implying that we have bad breath, too.
And these nuts really think sensible people take this stuff seriously?

Also spotted in one of those crowds was a nitwit carrying a sign, claiming, "It's time for a general strike NOW." A strike from what? Do any of these people actually have jobs? That seems unlikely, given the amount of time they spend rabble-rousing.
The protests go on, for now. Fortunately for the rest of us, a plurality, if not a majority, of these people have the attention span of a blue-bottle fly, and by Monday, people who actually work for a living should be able to have an untroubled commute - at least, as untroubled as usual.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
