King Trump! At Long Last, a Crown!

We here at The American Spectator have justly lampooned the No Kings crowd. They’re easy to poke fun at, given that their very name and message is, well, obviously incorrect.

Donald Trump has been called numerous things by the Left, most of which are at least subjective and debatable. For instance, one could argue in circles about how to best define the “democracy” that Trump is somehow unilaterally destroying. But a king? That’s pure nonsense from the get-go.

Donald Trump is, of course, not a monarch. Even if Donald Trump wanted to be king, he couldn’t. Gosh, Trump can’t even abolish the loathsome Department of Education. That’s because in our constitutional system of separation of powers and checks and balances, the legislative branch stops him.

And yet, speaking of education, that hasn’t stopped the dimwits at the American Federation of Teachers from pushing the No Kings movement. The AFT’s website, the morning of the recent nationwide No Kings rallies, was filled with silly, incendiary language on “Why fascists fear teachers” and “No crowns, no thrones, no kings.”

Gadzooks, you would think that teachers would know that Trump not only isn’t a king but has neither a crown nor throne! The AFT ought to be educating kids in a proper understanding of what words like “monarch” and “fascist” actually mean.

Apparently, the ignorance that pervades American public education starts at the top. To his immense credit, Donald Trump has seized upon the spectacle to have a little fun. He has trolled the No Kings crowd, posting manipulated photos of himself wearing a crown, which no doubt had them howling even louder: “See! See! We said he wants to be king! There you go!”

But alas, amid our lampooning of the No Kings howlers, it looks like they’re having the last laugh. Well, not the last laugh, because they don’t laugh — they’re too angry. I should say, the No Kings howlers are having the last word. They’ve been suddenly vindicated.

That is because Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, has in fact received a crown. Yes, it is true. If you didn’t catch the news, Donald J. Trump received a crown during his current swing through Asia.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Wednesday made Trump the first American president to receive South Korea’s highest honor, the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, replete with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown.

No doubt, Trump can’t spell, let alone pronounce, “Mugunghwa” or “Cheonmachong.” But what does that matter? Mugunghwa or cowabunga, Trump at long last got his crown!

Before I extend my congratulations to His Highness, let me add a few words of explication about South Korea, a country that I’ve lectured on for decades and alternately admire and find a little crazy. Not to rain on King Trump’s special parade.

South Korea is quite the political soap opera. The country’s leadership has been mired in scandal for decades, and especially throughout the last year. The current leader who crowned Trump, Lee Jae Myung, who is a member of the Democratic Party of Korea — yes, a Democrat — took power last June after the impeachment, expulsion, and arrest of the previous leader, Yoon Suk Yeol, a right-leaning populist and nationalist who was being dubbed the “South Korean Donald Trump.”

The American Left characterizes Jan. 6, 2021, as an attempted coup by Donald Trump, an insurrection that left the nation’s capital teetering on the brink of near-martial law. But in fact, South Korea’s Yoon Suk Yeol was the real McCoy.

Last January (as noted ironically in a January 6 piece for The American Spectator by Doug Bandow), Yoon declared martial law and deployed troops to the legislature, the National Assembly. These were real troops, not a bunch of yahoos banging on the side of a building with sticks. This very unpopular action by Yoon triggered his impeachment and indictment.
(RELATED: South Korea’s President Commits Self-Immolation)

Yoon’s authoritarian tactics harkened back to South Korea’s days under military rule, with leaders like Park Chung-hee, who ruled the country from 1961 to 1979 before being assassinated. There had been several assassination attempts against Park. His wife was killed in one of them.

Their daughter was elected president decades later, but alas, she — Park Geun-hye — was driven out of office in 2017 and likewise put under arrest, given a 24-year prison sentence.

Even South Korea’s new president has faced drama and serious danger. An assassination attempt was made against him as well (in January 2024). And I assure you, this is a mere short list of South Korean high-ranking officials targeted over the past 50-plus years (including Nobel Peace Prize winner and heroic dissident Kim Dae-Jung).

South Korea is a wild place. No, it isn’t as crazy as the lunatic asylum run by the House of Kim up north — a communist-totalitarian monarchy — but at times it seems like an Asian Wild West.

So, South Korea knows an authoritarian when it sees one! This will make sense to the No Kings folks. They will tell you — actually, they will scream from the streets — that Donald Trump is an authoritarian.

South Korea’s leaders apparently know a king when they see one. Thus, they took the step of awarding Trump the crown that our homegrown No Kings movement had seen coming along.

The irony was not lost on the political scientists at the New York Times. America’s newspaper of record confirmed in a headline, “Trump Has Likened Himself to a King. South Korea gave Him a Crown.”

Indeed, New York Times. Spot on. Brilliant analysis.

And so, there you go! The likes of the American Federation of Teachers have shown themselves not to be the dunces we thought they were, but rather astute political prognosticators. I guess they, too, know a monarch when they see one. Impressive, AFT. Who would’ve thunk it?

The No Kings movement has proved astutely prophetic. Here’s hoping that Trump will start wearing his crown soon. I suggest The Donald don the crown for his next State of the Union address. I think the liberals would love that.

Bucks’ Kevin Porter Jr. to undergo knee surgery amid ankle rehab

The Milwaukee Bucks have taken a hit to their backcourt depth. The team announced on X that Kevin Porter Jr. suffered a right knee meniscus injury during on-court return-to-play work. As a result, he will undergo a minor orthopedic procedure expected to sideline him for about four weeks.

This update comes while Porter is still rehabbing from a left ankle sprain he sustained in the season opener. According to Sports Illustrated, the Bucks anticipate a roughly monthlong recovery following the procedure.

Porter had been trending toward a return from the ankle injury that kept him out of the October 22 win over the Washington Wizards. In that game, he scored 10 points with two assists in nine minutes before exiting, as noted in the ESPN Box Score.

Patriots Drake Maye faces tough test against Falcons

**Drake Maye’s Deep Passing Fuels Patriots’ Momentum Ahead of Clash with Falcons**

*FOXBOROUGH, Mass.* — Drake Maye hasn’t been afraid to throw the ball deep down the field during his NFL career. One of the Patriots second-year quarterback’s first memories as a pro comes from one of his initial practices last season, when he connected on a deep pass with receiver Kayshon Boutte that beat cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

“You just remember things of throwing deep throws, seeing him come up on the right side of it and it just makes you want to keep going back to it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” Maye said.

In his sophomore season, Maye has embraced that ability to chuck it long. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, he has completed 13 of 17 passes (76.5%) that traveled 20 or more yards in the air, logging five touchdowns along the way.

It’s a skill that has helped the Patriots (6-2) win five straight games and take a step forward under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ latest stint in New England. The timing couldn’t be better as the Patriots prepare to host the Atlanta Falcons (3-4), who boast the NFL’s top-rated passing defense this Sunday.

Through seven games, Atlanta is allowing only 149.1 passing yards per game. Meanwhile, Maye has passed for at least 200 yards in every game this season.

“He’s way better than I want him to be,” Atlanta defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said of Maye. “He feels like a mini Josh Allen, a younger Josh Allen, in a lot of ways: his mobility, his arm, the way he can take the game over in both facets of the game. So, he’s going to be — he’s a problem.”

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel noted that Maye’s confidence in airing it out has steadily increased since the preseason — a trend that starts with the trust placed in him by the coaching staff.

“I think he stays patient. I don’t think he panics and launches it or throws it seven yards out of bounds, but I think there’s been a lot of improvement from training camp and seeing some of those passes,” Vrabel said. “I don’t think there were as many completions in the preseason as there were in the regular season. I’m glad we saved them for the regular season.”

### Good Hands: Kayshon Boutte Shines

One of the main recipients of Maye’s deep balls has been Kayshon Boutte. A 2023 sixth-round draft pick by New England, Boutte is tied for the league lead with seven receiving touchdowns covering 20 or more air yards since 2024, alongside Ja’Marr Chase. Notably, AJ Brown, Quentin Johnston, and DK Metcalf each have six over that period.

### Injury Watch: Falcons’ Key Players Questionable

A major storyline this week is the availability of Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and top receiver Drake London. Both missed last week’s 34-10 loss to Miami. Penix sat out with a bone bruise on his left knee and was replaced by Kirk Cousins. London was inactive due to a hip injury.

Both players were limited in the Falcons’ first practice of the week and are considered day-to-day, according to coach Raheem Morris. However, Morris expressed optimism about Penix’s availability.

“Obviously, he feels better than he did last week,” Morris said. “He obviously feels better than he did every single day with it being a bone bruise. That stuff gets better every day, so I feel really good about him.”

### Battle on the Ground Could Be Key

While the Patriots may challenge the Falcons through the air, this game could be decided by the ground game matchup.

New England is the only team in the NFL this season not to surrender 50 rushing yards to an opposing running back through eight games.

Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson, tied for fourth in the league, is averaging 79 yards per game. This includes a season-high 170-yard performance during Atlanta’s Week 6 win over Buffalo.

“A Vrabel-coached team is always going to be great. They’re always going to play sound. They’re always going to play really fundamentally fast, and we’ve got to be ready and prepared for that,” Morris said.

As the Patriots and Falcons prepare to face off, all eyes will be on Maye’s deep throws and the ground battle that could shape the outcome of this pivotal matchup.

CHP 12-hour Max-Enforcement period kicks off on Halloween night

CENTRAL VALLEY, Calif. (KFSN) — It’s the spookiest day of the year, and as neighborhoods fill with Trick-or-Treating children, drivers on the road are being urged to exercise extra caution.

“Even in areas where houses may seem more spread apart, still look out for pedestrians. Our ghosts and goblins are our most precious possessions out there. We want to make sure they enjoy themselves, get their treats, and not too many tricks from bad drivers,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Salas.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has all available officers on patrol statewide as part of their 12-hour Max-Enforcement period. Last year, over 120 people were arrested on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence (DUI). The CHP also investigated 500 crashes during this time, 90 of which involved impaired drivers. These incidents caused many injuries and claimed two lives.

“It’s alarming to us, and it should be alarming to our community. But again, we’re just trying to keep everyone safe, spreading the message of responsibility, and making sure we watch out for those pedestrians,” Officer Salas explained.

AAA warns that Halloween is one of the most dangerous nights of the year for both pedestrians and drivers. This year, the risks are even higher since Halloween falls on a Friday, a night typically associated with increased traffic and festivities.

People are encouraged to plan ahead and be prepared for more traffic than usual. “Time pressure is definitely one of the biggest factors for accidents. No matter where you’re going tonight, give yourself plenty of extra time so you’re not rushing. Plan for delays and allocate extra travel time. That’ll help keep everyone safe — other drivers and pedestrians alike,” said Julian Paredes, a spokesperson with AAA.

AAA also reminds everyone that impaired driving and distracted driving remain among the leading causes of crashes, especially on busy nights like Halloween.

The CHP Max-Enforcement period will continue through tomorrow morning to help keep roads safe during this festive time. Stay alert, drive responsibly, and have a safe Halloween!

Where you can volunteer in L.A. to help those affected by disruptions to SNAP benefits

Beginning November 1, roughly 5.5 million Californians—including more than 1.5 million residents in Los Angeles County—will experience delays in receiving their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits due to the ongoing government shutdown.

While the situation is evolving, Governor Gavin Newsom is fast-tracking funds to support food banks. Additionally, judges ordered the USDA on Friday to restart SNAP funding. However, families in need won’t see immediate relief.

In response, community leaders and local nonprofits have been stepping up to fill the gap by hosting free grocery pop-up markets and other events to assist neighbors who need food now, not later.

The Times has compiled an ongoing list of ways to volunteer in these efforts. This story will be updated as new opportunities arise.

Ethereum Price Nears Key Support as Analysts Eye a Potential Rebound

Ethereum Struggles to Regain Bullish Momentum Amid Consolidation Phase

Ethereum continues to trade under pressure as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency struggles to regain bullish momentum. After weeks of sideways action, ETH remains trapped in a consolidation range, sparking uncertainty among traders who await signs of a trend reversal.

At the time of writing, Ethereum trades around $3,846, hovering just above the crucial $3,802 support area. Market observers note that this level has become a focal point for both short-term traders and long-term investors, with many waiting to see if the asset can hold firm before the next decisive move.

### Testing a Crucial Technical Zone

Prominent crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared his outlook on X, pointing out that Ethereum is currently testing its 20-week moving average — a technical region that has historically marked strong accumulation phases. He emphasized that ETH’s current setup offers a favorable risk-reward ratio for long-term portfolios, describing it as “a tremendous spot to be added to portfolios.”

According to van de Poppe, the confluence between the moving average and a higher timeframe support level may provide the foundation for Ethereum’s next rally. “Corrections don’t last forever,” he added, suggesting that the ongoing pullback could be nearing its conclusion.

If Ethereum manages to defend this zone, analysts believe the next resistance to watch will be near $4,150. A breakout above that threshold could signal renewed buying strength and a potential return toward the $4,300-$4,400 range.

### On-Chain Data Shows Investor Strain

Beyond the charts, blockchain data paints a mixed picture. The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator — a metric used to gauge overall market profitability — has recently dipped into the capitulation zone. This range often appears when many holders are near breakeven or experiencing slight losses, typically preceding short-term rebounds as selling pressure begins to ease.

Such periods of capitulation tend to reset market expectations. Short-term holders, known for reacting quickly to price swings, often become reluctant to sell at a loss. Historically, this behavior creates conditions for brief relief rallies as traders push prices upward in search of quick recoveries before taking profits again.

If this pattern holds, Ethereum could experience another short-term bounce similar to those observed earlier in the month, where the asset briefly regained strength before returning to consolidation.

### Sentiment Hits Nine-Month Low

From a broader perspective, investor sentiment around Ethereum has turned notably bearish. Data from Santiment reveals that Ethereum’s weighted sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since February, reflecting increased caution and fatigue among market participants.

This decline in optimism mirrors the broader crypto landscape, where traders are becoming increasingly selective about new positions. Prolonged bearish sentiment can discourage fresh inflows, ultimately weighing on price stability.

However, such negative readings have also been known to act as contrarian signals — often preceding market recoveries once pessimism peaks.

### Rangebound Conditions Persist

For now, Ethereum appears rangebound between $3,802 and $4,154. Analysts suggest that until volatility returns or trading volume picks up, ETH may continue oscillating within this band.

A decisive close above $4,150 would be needed to confirm the start of a stronger upward move, while a drop below $3,800 could open the door to deeper losses.

Despite current headwinds, van de Poppe and several other market strategists maintain that Ethereum remains fundamentally strong, supported by ongoing developments in staking, scaling solutions, and institutional interest. Many believe that the current correction phase is part of a broader accumulation process rather than the beginning of a prolonged downturn.

### Outlook: Patience May Be Key

Ethereum’s long-term trajectory continues to depend on macroeconomic factors, investor sentiment, and broader market liquidity. As traders await stronger signals from the Federal Reserve and risk assets, ETH’s consolidation could serve as a necessary cooldown before its next significant move.

While short-term uncertainty prevails, technical confluence and historical data suggest that Ethereum may be approaching a point of stabilization — one that could set the stage for renewed upside once market confidence returns.

Syracuse walk-on set to make first career start vs. Bill Belichick, North Carolina

Syracuse football (3-5) has been searching for answers since quarterback Steve Angeli suffered a torn Achilles in a huge road win versus Clemson on Sept. 20. Orange head coach Fran Brown is turning to an unlikely player to help lift the team out of the doldrums and back into the win column.

True freshman and walk-on Joseph Filardi will make his first start under center in Friday night’s game against North Carolina (2-5), according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Filardi, a lauded lacrosse recruit, has only logged one offensive snap this season entering the ACC showdown.

While the Tar Heels have yet to earn a conference victory, inexperienced signal-callers do not tend to fare well against all-time great NFL head coach Bill Belichick. However, perhaps Brown is looking to use the unknown to his advantage. Syracuse clearly feels like it has nothing left to lose at this stage of the season.

The Orange have been painfully outmatched without Angeli, losing five consecutive games all by double digits and failing to score 20 points. Rickie Collins posted a sub-50% completion percentage twice while occupying the starting role and has thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. Change was needed.

Filardi has a chance to rejuvenate a dejected fan base that is doing its best to remember what it felt like trouncing Clemson in Death Valley. He can also put the Belichick regime under even more scrutiny.

The JMA Wireless Dome may need to prop up the Dix Hills, New York native, as nerves are bound to be high in this televised matchup. Whether or not the move works, Fran Brown is displaying a notable amount of fearlessness in the face of Bill Belichick.

The opening kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
