News item: Biden Administration is prohibiting a July 4 fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore. Previous July 4 fireworks celebrations at Mount Rushmore had proceeded as a joint venture between the state of South Dakota and the National Park Service. Gov. Kristi Noem has filed suit against the Biden Administration.
News item: Pentagon refuses to issue a parking permit for the annual Memorial Day “Rolling Thunder” motorcycle rally. COVID risk is the stated reason, but I’m guessing the real reason is the likelihood of too many Trump flags being displayed by the riders. The annual rally has perviously used the Pentagon’s massive parking lot as a staging area for the rally.
Observations: I have no idea whether Gov. Noem’s lawsuit will be successful. My hunch is probably not, but in any case I think litigation is not the best strategy. How about openly defying the federal government? Gov. Noem ought to announce that this is the kind of decision that belongs wholly to the sovereign people of the state of South Dakota and not the White House, and that the July 4 celebration will go forward as planned. Better still is if Gov. Noem could get President Trump to attend. Is the Biden Administration going to send federal marshals to arrest Gov. Noem and the former president?
Alternatively, Gov. Noem could ask the Dakota indian tribe to co-host a July 4 fireworks show, perhaps at the site of the unfinished Crazy Horse monument not far from Mount Rushmore. In either case, the July 4 event should be labeled as a “political protest,” recalling that last summer’s BLM protests were excused from COVID restrictions because political protest is sacred. Let’s demonstrate that “resistance” is a two-way street.
Meanwhile, Rolling Thunder is going to go ahead as planned, with improvised rally points...

Perhaps even time for some mostly peaceful protests.
What’s good for the goose is most deservedly 10x for the gander.
Let them fear in their homes for a while.
A good while.
AmVets, which represents 20 million veterans, had sought approval for the event for a year.
After reviewing the request, nine other local agencies with authority over the permit had approved it.
But after the Pentagon’s reluctance to support AmVets received greater attention, Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Brian Mast noted, “In Joe Biden’s America, it’s harder for our veterans to get a permit than it is for illegal aliens to enter our country. That tells you everything you need to know.”
Yeah, this is gonna really endear him to bikers.
I suspect a lot of bikers will go anyway, just like they did when “covid” cancelled last year’s Gettysburg Bike Week.
We’re not a particularly biddable lot.
The tine for civil unrest has long pasted. This is why the county is in the shape its in. With the exception of a civil war, which is not happening, we are going to die a slow death.
If you need Government Permission to Celebrate Independence day you need:

I fear you are right.
Yet...
Democrats disobeying government

Democrats are hateful, anti-American losers who want everyone to have a life as unhappy and full of failure as their own meaningless lives. The only things they celebrate are their own degradation and the degradation of others.
If you want something funny to ruin a libs day, try my trick:
In traffic, I find a leftist car. I roll down my window and excitedly announce that something is wrong with their car.. “your wheel looks like it’s about to fall off! “
They thank me, pull over, and of course can’t see a problem with their wheel. It drives people crazy.
I agree.
Soup...for my family!
Rolling Thunder = Insurrectionists in the eyes of the DC elite. Can’t have that.
I’m all for peacefully marching in the street, say on Friday around 5 pm around the government offices— one of the main streets. But no violence— we need to get real Gandhi on this deal— walking Gandhi, talking Gandhi, sitting Gandhi. I’m series!
I don’t think a peaceful march would go well. The cops would show up, shoot one of us, and the media would demand that any registered Republican within 5 miles be charged with a felony. And the DOJ and FBI would get right on that.
Better still is if Gov. Noem could get President Trump to attend. Is the Biden Administration going to send federal marshals to arrest Gov. Noem and the former president?>>>. Agree with the actions to do the fireworks but no they wouldn’t arrest Trump and Noem. they would murder them however.
