Biden’s National Park Service Denies South Dakota Request for July 4th Fireworks At Mount Rushmore
GP ^ | March 13, 2021 | Joe Hoft

Last year South Dakota welcomed President Trump to Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July. The President shared a historic speech and then fireworks ended the day.

This year the Democrats want none of it. Joe Biden is unable to make the trip and deliver a speech in his mental and physical state. Because of this, they will punish South Dakota for their patriotic display last year.

The Washington Examiner reported yesterday:

The National Park Service denied a request from South Dakota to host another July Fourth fireworks display at Mount Rushmore following a controversial Independence Day in 2020 attended by then-President Donald Trump.

NPS Regional Director Herbert Frost penned a letter to the state’s tourism department that the park service is “unable to grant a request to have fireworks at the Memorial,” according to a readout obtained by Washington Examiner.

“Potential risks to the park itself and to the health and safety of employees and visitors associated with the fireworks demonstration continue to be a concern and are still being evaluated as a result of the 2020 event,” Frost wrote.

I hope the good looking Governor Kristi Noem ignores Biden and has a spectacular Fourth of July at Mount Rushmore. Their excuse is pathetic for not allowing them to celebrate.

This is just them sticking it to Noem. They hate her.
She should move it to a nearby state park and let it fly.

Yet another example of what a petty ahole Biden is and has always been, along with his Maoist cohorts.

Do it at the Crazy Horse monument. It is privately owned and the feds can suck it.

Treat it like drone regulations where it’s illegal to launch a drone from a national park but not illegal to flyover.
Launch fireworks from outside the park and over Mt Rushmore and preferably in the form of a middle finger

We have a President telling us if we abide by some gov't edict, we're "allowed" to have an Independence Day celebration, and a small one at that.

Somewhere in the beautiful Heavens above the Founders are either shaking their heads in disgust or shrugging their shoulders.

If you tailor your Independence Day celebrations
according to federal government regulations, then
you are missing the whole point of Independence Day.

Expect a lot more crap like this by the domestic enemies that are currently occupying President Donald Trumps office thanks to a fat bag of puss who made pretend he was Attorney general. I don't know how this guy lives with himself.

Pick a private spot right next to it. Shoot them off and over the park.

All part of the ongoing communist purge of American history...

However, most of the American sheeple will just say: “What is a Mount Rushmore?”
Then they will quickly go back to grazing...

These are the same scum that blockade parks when they have a budget so called government shutdown. THey even do it at independence hall which is actually owned by the city not the feds. Another fed agency to get rid of.

MT. Rushmore is also privately owned, by we the people. People must stop believing that the Government is bigger, better and smarter than us. They aren’t. They work for us and we have the power to do what is in our own best interest.

Fireworks celebrations at a National Monument is just one example of our right to celebrate and honor our founding. Passive resistance to all subversion is acceptable so they, this administration, get the point. 🇺🇸

Please don't take this personally! However Joe Biden is making zero decisions concerning anything. There is without a doubt a "Central Committee" making the decisions and putting Joe out on a Zombie walk every now and then.

The poor man has an argument with himself every morning about whether he should relieve himself or not.

Puppet on a string serving as the Shadow President. Shame on Jill and the rest of his family allowing the Democrat Central Committee to treat him this way.

And perhaps shame on us for taking it out on Joe for all the decisions made for him and in his name.

It’s all Black Elk Wilderness for a long ways.

Custer state Park is like 5 miles away and heavily forested.

Just call the Ziolkowski kids and say please to a display from their monument
