I don't believe any of the boomers got ornery
According to liberal news site Fox News:
Protesters nationwide hold 'No Kings' rallies amid government shutdown

Old retired white people who vote for policies that destroy communities turned out in force to protest against what? Biden was more a king than Trump ever has been. The amount of gray hairs is hilarious, clearly CNN watchers.
There were probably 50 people from my Mother's Church at the protest in Claremont knowing that congregation.

Ok. I thought yesterday was to be the great amassing of the Antifa, communist, Hamas loving terrorists, all gathered in every major city by the millions. Turns out it was just people who don’t like Trumps policies gathered under the banner of non violent protest? Where is everyone who hates America? Is the messaging now that it is just old people, not violent terrorists hellbent on “chaos”. It’s what they wanted right?
At least Portland was business as usual.

I watched some very isolated events in Portland that was being streamed.. but yeah.. your characterization was pretty much correct during the day. uneventful and not really impactful to anything. The people that share that opinion have all been there before and now they have some nice groomed astroturfed places to wear stupid costumes and pretend to be doing something important.

If I was the protesting type… I would go just to protest this…
US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy
WASHINGTON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - At least 30 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world's most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.
The policy requires journalists to acknowledge new rules on press access, including that they could be branded security risks and have their Pentagon press badges revoked if they ask department employees to disclose classified and some types of unclassified information.
How can this not be a bigger story? I voted for the guy, I think he’s done a few good things, but this kind of stuff is the slippery slope that can easily be the beginning of the end…
Please, someone explain to me why this is no big deal and I have nothing to fear about the United States government putting these types of restrictions on the media. A media by the way, that Trump has seemingly been at war with since he was elected.
It's not stopping them from reporting, just from doing it on government property.

It is a huge story. We just don’t talk about it here.

Maybe I am missing it. Why is this a huge story? What was their access before and after this? Was it privileged in some way?

I'll admit I dont have a lot of trust in the press when it comes to military operations, but what is that you don't agree with? From what I've read, it all just sounds like common sense vetting before giving them access.

Well I can tell you the crossover of yesterday and Hamas simps is quite large. Antifa? I don't remember Antifa being a part of the last Septagenarian conference err 2024 No Kings Day protest.
My favorite part was Bernie rolling up in a private plane and squad of Armed security.

Because it's a non-story? The story is actually the liberal media spinning it.
She links the guidelines in the next tweet. I don't see anything you can remotely be outraged about.

Also uh...
Feel free to merge last two posts. Currently on my phone.

Wait, so if the media knows it is a classified topic (or sensitive but unclass) and they continue to ask about it they can be classed as a security risk and have their access to the pentagon revoked. How is that a problem?
I and many others here have been in situations where asking the person sharing a room or tent how their day went would get your security privileges reviewed or revoked. There have been entire rooms where when I entered, with a security clearance and authorization, would have to close or cover their computers and do nothing until I left. Hell, there was this one time in band camp when mentioning the acronym for a certain mission would get you sent back CONUS on the next flight. Not even the name, just the abbreviation.
WTF gives the media ANY right to ask about classified information?? If they are digging for classified info, they deserve to be put out of the pentagon.
And if they won't agree to those terms, do they belong there in the first place?

I, for one, had no idea the press was given so much freedom inside the Pentagon….
