Tea at Trianon: Saturday Day of Rage

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Saturday Day of Rage

From Tierney's Real News:

The Communists have set up a “day of rage” called NO KINGS - in every state and hundreds of cities in America - on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Several Communist organizations have 1,800 protests planned across the country - for June 14th - which have purposefully been organized to coincide with Flag Day and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, which the Trump administration plans to commemorate with a military parade through Washington, D.C. with 6,700 troops, 28 tanks and 50 military aircraft.
There is a map and an RSVP form to protest. You can find out what's going on in your area below. I’m guessing they will block major arteries and cause all kinds of mayhem so it would be good for you and your family to AVOID them. Don’t engage them or give them any reason to come up with another George Floyd martyr operation on Flag Day:

Patrick Bet-David: “We know what game they’re playing. June 14th is President Trump’s 79th birthday, 250 years of the Army, you got Flag Day. They’re looking for their next George Floyd.”
You got it. They're looking for their next martyr. When it happens, I hope the American people are smarter than they were 5 years ago. (Read more.)
