No Kings rallies and marches are planned across the country as a counterprotest to a military parade and festival in Washington, D.C. The capital event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and will include more than 6,000 soldiers and dozens of tanks and aircraft.

Honestly, we don't know what's going to happen but from all our years blogging we've learned this much: Everything is an anticlimax. And so . . . In so many ways, we pray for peace, expect the worst and wish everybody the best.
