Nation Rises in “No Kings” March
Millions Cry Out, ‘No Crown for Any Man!
In one of the largest public demonstrations in modern American history, millions of citizens thronged city squares and main streets today beneath banners proclaiming “No Kings!” From the shores of California to the harbors of New York, and from Chicago’s Grant Park to the steps of the Capitol itself, the nation rose as one to denounce what protestors call “rule by decree.”
Whistles shrieked and drums rolled as wave upon wave of marchers advanced through autumn air thick with song and conviction.
Whistles shrieked and drums rolled as wave upon wave of marchers advanced through autumn air thick with song and conviction.
Veterans in worn caps, steelworkers with rolled sleeves, mothers pushing prams, and teachers bearing signs all moved in solemn determination. Organizers hailed it as a “citizens’ march for democracy,” the first truly national outcry of its kind in a generation.
Leah Greenberg, co-founder of Indivisible, declared before a vast crowd in Chicago, “There is nothing more American than saying we don’t have kings!” Her words ignited a roar that rolled like thunder down Michigan Avenue. Reports from across the country spoke of disciplined crowds and a spirit both indignant and hopeful. Police presence was light; disturbances, rare. In Boston, ministers led prayers for liberty; in Denver, factory whistles blew in salute.
The White House offered no statement. Its gates remained firmly shut as the chant “No Kings, No Crowns, No Tyrants Here!” echoed from coast to coast. Washington correspondents described the spectacle as “a republic remembering itself.”

SHUTDOWN BITES, BREADLINES GROW
CAPITOL POINTS FINGERS
WASHINGTON - With the government shutdown dragging into its third week, the nation’s machinery creaks to a halt. Federal workers wait without pay, air-traffic delays mount, and even the mighty nuclear agency faces furloughs.
On Main Streets and in markets, tempers fray. The Treasury warns of ripple effects reaching every corner of commerce — from idled contractors to hungry families.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the cry of blame grows shrill. The President brands the impasse a “Democrat Shutdown,” while opposition leaders retort that the White House is “holding the nation hostage to vanity.” Amid the din, no compromise appears in sight.
As one weary clerk told our man on the scene, “They’re arguing over who’s steering while the train’s already left the tracks.”
COURT'S COFFERS BARE
SUPREME BENCH FACES IDLE DAYS
The Supreme Court of the United States, revered bulwark of the Republic, now finds its coffers near empty. Officials warned that, absent fresh appropriations, the marble halls may soon echo with silence.
Clerks whispered of halted cases and shuttered chambers as the federal purse runs dry amid the prolonged government shutdown. “Never before in the Court’s history,” said one scholar, “has its very operation been imperiled by political paralysis.”
The Justices, maintaining their customary dignity, issued no public plea — yet Washington insiders speak of “grave concern” behind the velvet drapes
HIGHWAY HALTS FOR WAR DRILL
WAR GAMES SHAKE CALIFORNIA SHORE
SAN DIEGO, Calif.,— For the first time in living memory, the great ribbon of concrete that binds California from north to south — the mighty U.S. Highway 5 — fell eerily silent today. No motorcar roared, no horn blared; instead, the thunder of Marine artillery rolled across the coastal hills.
Under orders from the War Department, the thoroughfare was sealed for a stretch of seventeen miles near Camp Pendleton, as U.S. Marines conducted live-fire demonstrations to mark the corps’ 250th anniversary. Giant guns belched flame and smoke skyward, shaking windows for miles around and startling flocks of seabirds from their perches.
Motorists by the thousands found themselves halted at roadblocks, their way barred by khaki-clad sentries and sandbag barricades. “I’ve seen traffic jams, but never one caused by cannon,” said one exasperated truck driver, staring at the horizon where shells burst like distant fireworks.
While military officials hailed the spectacle as “a salute to American strength,” state leaders were less enamored. Governor Newsom, speaking from Sacramento, questioned the wisdom of closing a major artery for martial display. “We honor our armed forces,” he said, “but California’s commerce should not be collateral damage.”
Critics charged that the event smacked of political theater more than patriotism. “This isn’t Normandy,” quipped one local merchant. “It’s a highway.” Yet Marine officials stood firm, declaring the exercise a vital test of readiness and a symbol of unity between civilians and soldiers.
As dusk fell, the guns ceased their thunder, the barricades came down, and the highway’s hum returned. But for those who witnessed the day’s strange silence, it will be long remembered as the Saturday the open road went to war.
Quote of The Day
When the road grows rough, the brave man does not curse the stones — he builds a path.
EGYPT TO LEAD PEACE FORCE IN GAZA
DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES WATCH CAIRO'S RISING ROLE
CAIRO — Egypt has taken the reins in the formation of a United Nations-backed stabilization force for the Gaza Strip, following months of regional unrest. The plan, supported by several Arab and Asian nations, seeks to restore order and oversee reconstruction after recent hostilities. Observers say Cairo’s leadership marks a bold return to prominence in Middle Eastern diplomacy, though skeptics warn that Egypt now bears a heavy mantle — one that may test both its military patience and political resolve.
FRANCE AND BRITAIN PRESS UN RESOLUTION
ALLIES SEEK ORDER IN GAZA GOVERNANCE
PARIS — France and Britain have joined forces at the United Nations to refine the terms of a Gaza peace resolution, aiming to authorize an international mission under UN command. Diplomats say the measure could reach the Security Council within days. While Paris champions the effort as a moral duty, critics argue that without regional consensus, the plan risks becoming a gesture more grand than grounded.
CHINA AND AMERICA IN TRADE STRAIN
MARKETS TREMBLE AS TARIFF TALK GROWS LOUDER
BEIJING — The world’s two largest economies once again find themselves in tense negotiation as tariff threats return to the fore. Washington’s proposed levies on Chinese goods have rattled investors and diplomats alike, prompting quiet overtures from both sides to temper the storm. Economists warn that a prolonged quarrel could hinder global recovery, as factories slow and freight lines grow cautious in their crossings.
GLOBAL DEBT REACHES NEW SUMMIT
WORLD'S LEDGERS GROAN UNDER BORROWED WEIGHT
GENEVA — The International Monetary Fund reports that global debt has soared to record heights, surpassing $310 trillion. Nations large and small lean upon borrowed capital to weather inflation and sluggish growth, yet economists caution that the burden may soon choke expansion altogether. In the corridors of finance, whispers abound that the next great crisis may not begin with war, but with unpaid interest.
IRAN ENDS DECADE-OLD NUCLEAR PACT
TEHRAN DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM THE WEST
TEHRAN — The Iranian government has formally cast aside the 2015 nuclear accord, declaring the deal null and void. Officials in Tehran hailed the move as a liberation from “foreign interference,” while Western capitals voiced alarm over a renewed nuclear race. With sanctions likely to tighten, Iran’s course appears set on self-reliance and defiance — a gamble that may either secure its sovereignty or deepen its isolation on the world stage.
QATAR CALLS FOR NUCLEAR-FREE MIDEAST
GULF STATE RENEWS PLEA FOR REGIONAL SAFETY PACT
DOHA — At a high-level summit, Qatar renewed its longstanding plea for a nuclear-weapons-free Middle East, urging rival powers to abandon atomic ambitions for the sake of stability. The proposal, dismissed for years as idealistic, is finding new ears amid rising tension from Tehran to Tel Aviv. Whether diplomacy will heed Doha’s call remains uncertain, but the appeal reflects a quiet yearning for peace in a region too long haunted by peril.
PRESIDENT FREES SANTOS
CONVICT CONGRESSMAN WALKS FREE
WASHINGTON - In a stroke of the executive pen that sent a jolt through political circles, President Trump yesterday commuted the sentence of former Representative George Santos — the notorious lawmaker convicted on multiple counts of fraud and deceit.
Santos, known for his flamboyant claims and checkered past, stepped from confinement a free man, declaring himself “reborn and misunderstood.” Critics decried the move as favoritism, a “gift to the guilty,” while allies praised the President’s “mercy and loyalty to his own.”
Observers in the capital likened the act to a page torn from an old political playbook — an indulgence to allies amid hard times.
