This story is developing nicely.

If you remember who Dan Quayle was, perhaps my 1990 piece imagining that tongue-tied vice-president reciting the St. Crispin's Day speech from "Henry V" will amuse you.

If you don't remember Dan Quayle, then happy St. Crispin's Day to you anyway.

Local legislator displays the importance of kerning
Fighter jets against the backdrop of a sky with the Idaho state flag and a quote that should say “everyone is an ally until they aren’t” but the spacing makes it look like it says “everyone is anally until they aren’t”

Here at our local No Kings.

I’d say turnout is perhaps 4X that of June.

Sorry to inform Mike Johnson, I haven’t run into anyone paid to be here, or “antifa,” or anti-American. Many veterans. Lots of attendees thanking the pair of Fairfax Country policeman strolling around keeping an eye on things.

This protest is a reminder that *there are more of us than there are of them*. They could never put this many people on the street. What they are trying to do is institute permanent minority rule, but our values, our culture and our solidarity will prevail.

The scene at No Kings in Raleigh, where protesters have been met with a near-constant stream of supportive honks for the last two hours.

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys
