Save Newport Real News in Newport Beach
Sunday at noon, at Palmer Luckey’s house on Lido Isle (Luckey is of Oculus fame), there will reportedly be a fundraiser for Trump, and Trump himself is reportedly visiting. UPDATE: Confirmed@12:21pm via Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) System. Trump will be visiting.
Our weather department has forecasted very, very heavy traffic with a chance of light to moderate protests. Peninsula residents already know well what traffic can get out here on a normal sunny day.
There have been conflicting reports as to whether or not Trump himself will be attending (UPDATE: Trump will be attending), but the Beach Boys themselves are rumored to be playing at noon there, too, and a large military boat is said to be parked outside. UPDATE: This vessel is Luckey’s personal craft
A Trump “Mega MAGA Rally” is planned for the day, doubtlessly flooding the harbor with boats from Newport and surrounding cities.

On a personal note, this writer asks that you please be courteous with your on-board speakers and general volume if there is indeed a free Beach Boys concert, guys and gals. But once they stop playing, please do let freedom ring as per normal.
I have a feeling this weekend is going to be a bit chaotic on the harbor. Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy!
