Activism, Uncensored: "Hands Off" Protests and Pro-Palestine Activists Rally in DC
Activists also gathered in Norfolk, VA, on Thursday because of a ship they believe was transporting military equipment to Israel
By Greg Collard
One of the pro-Trump talking points about last week’s “Hands Off” rallies was the age of the protesters. There were lots of video posts on X showing old people.
Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA got in on the act:
Sure, there were more older people at the nationwide “Hands Off” protests than what we’re used to seeing, but it’s not like people of different ages didn’t participate, as you’ll see in this Activism, Uncensored video from News2Share’s Ford Fischer. It’s also not surprising since concerns over the future of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were among the reasons for the “Hands Off” events.
But even if every person was, in the words of Turning Point USA, in “their 60 to 70s and are using walkers and wheelchairs,” who gives a shit? Are they supposed to stay silent because they’re old?
Politically, I found it amazing that Turning Point was so dismissive of a group of people who vote in higher percentages than any other. I guarantee Turing Point will be seeking their votes come election time.
This Activism, Uncensored video also covers protests against the U.S. policy of providing military aid to Israel in its war with Hamas. It starts with a protest less than a mile from the Hands Off event in Washington, D.C., and captures another protest Thursday in Norfolk, VA. Activists gathered there because they say a Maersk ship docked in Norfolk was taking F-35 parts to Israel.
Speaking of the hands off protest, this past Monday I saw this on X:

A bit long but good:
"Credit to Denise Cattoni (via Fb) for summing it up quite nicely.
To all the "Hands Off" Protesters (Democrats):
We are currently at a critical juncture with a national debt of $36.5 trillion, increasing by $2 trillion each year. This is a critical issue, and most experts are warning us that we have relatively few years left to take decisive action before America faces a financial crisis that would have catastrophic consequences for this country and the world.
Amid all your protests, the burning of Teslas, and your petulant vitriol, one crucial element is glaringly missing: any plan to cut government spending. Instead, your goal appears to be to spend even more.
We finally have leaders in President Trump and Elon Musk who are courageous enough to finally focus on sustainable spending practices that are critical to avoid risking our economic future. Time is of the essence—instead of being in the way, let’s act together before it’s too late.
If not...
HANDS OFF - my tax dollars, which were not intended for your pet projects and the corrupt, virtue-signaling Socialists who spew the garbage you all take as gospel. It’s not a slush fund and a money laundering operation through left-wing NGO's to make politicians rich.
HANDS OFF - my child at school. Teach them the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. They are not there to be indoctrinated into your Marxist ideologies.
HANDS OFF - trying to force American women and girls to compete against biological men and then adding insult to injury, forcing them to change and shower in front of them. Stop forcing your fu@ked up theories on the rest of us.
HANDS OFF - all the property you destroy in the name of whatever cause you’re supporting that given week. Other people’s vehicles are not yours to destroy. Neither are statues or all the other s#it you light on fire.
HANDS OFF - our college campuses. Decent kids are there to learn. Free speech is protected. Violence, intimidation, and taking over buildings are not. By the way, if your cause is so just, take off the masks and show yourself. Cowards one and all.
HANDS OFF - our president, who was duly elected to clean up the mess y’all created. We sat by and watched as you supported a puppet who was practically dead. It damn near destroyed the nation. Financially, from a security standpoint, and morally.
HANDS OFF - to all the federal district judges. Your power does not supersede the executive branch. And, stop using Lawfare by going after your political opponents.
HANDS OFF - our ICE Agents, who are taking violent gang bangers out of our country and forcing people who want to come here to do so legally. It should be the only way. Period. End of story.
HANDS OFF - our Free Speech rights. For years, you have used the process of cancelling people who simply wanted to express their own ideas. In your world, you think free speech can only be allowed if it agrees with your screwed up ideologies.
HANDS OFF - the American family. You have done everything possible to destabilize the concept of families because you believe that our ultimate allegiance should be to the government.
HANDS OFF - from imposing your Marxist views of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the methods you’ve used to implement them through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Most Americans are compassionate individuals who believe in judging people based on their character rather than the color of their skin.
These principles are what the vast majority of Americans voted for.
You don’t like it, be like that slob Rosie O'Donnell and move to Europe, which is being taken over by radical Islam.
So, to borrow your stupid little slogan…. Hands Off... "
Miss me with this shit. What happened to digging for the truth? Like the truth that no one is going to cut social security, Medicare and Medicaid?
