Fox– The National Park Service denied a request from South Dakota for an Independence Day fireworks celebration over Mount Rushmore for the second year in a row, citing the potential for wildfires and concerns and opposition from the tribal community.
“After careful consideration, the NPS has determined that we are unable to grant your request for this permit to hold a special event with fireworks at the Memorial,” the National Park Service wrote in a letter on March 14 to the South Dakota Department of Tourism. “Based on the information provided in the application, we have determined that multiple such criteria are present for the requested event, each of which would be independently sufficient to deny the request for a permit.”
The Park Service wrote that “fireworks are viewed by multiple Tribes as an adverse effect to the traditional cultural landscape,” and said that a Tribal Cultural Survey conducted in May 2021 after South Dakota’s 2020 fireworks event showed “ample opposition from the Tribes to the 2020 event.”
Nope.
Because, racism, or something.
Dead in the water.
No Democrat judge will approve it.
No “republican” judge will touch it.
My country is broken.
Casinos, on the other hand, are viewed by multiple Tribes as a favorable effect to the traditional cultural landscape,”
“…the NPS has determined that we are unable to grant your request…”
That’s a lie. They are UNWILLING to grant the request.
Motto of the Democratic Party:
“How can we be even bigger assholes today?”
…let me give you the HONEST version.
“The NPS, as one of the first agencies proudly weaponized to enforce Obama’s Stimulus Shutdown, is pleased to inform you that, according to current Administration guidelines, we will not permit you this celebration in any form, under any circumstances.
The reason is simple. The country you wish to celebrate is dead, and we are one of many agencies tasked to ensure it stays that way.
Don’t bother us any more with this, as the answer will be the same. Also, be advised that your personal information has been forwarded to DHS Secretary Mayorkas for investigation as a potential terrorist threat. We will have someone there to interrogate you shortly.
Have a nice day,
Y̶o̶u̶r̶ National Park Service.
You don’t have to be real smart to know when the commie liberals are trying to kill history.
Putin stopped the fireworks display….He needs the gun powder
Live look at South Dakota…
🖕🥳🖕
Elizabeth Warren offered no comment other than to say that she sided with her “Blood Brothers”.
Have it anyway, push back on the morons who think they own the place…like the Montana Petroleum Association is doing, restarting dormant wells despite Brandon hamstringing the industry.
Shoot them off anyway. What are they gonna do? You are already on the list.
Do it anyway & refuse to pay the fine!
What are they going to do about it, wake up the Idiot between his nightly mattress pissings?
aleon,
Did she send the message by smoke signal?
After careful consideration, the NPS determined that the Governor of South Dakota is white and a Republican…
I lived in SD in the early ‘80s. My neighbors greeted me with “Welcome to South Dakota!. Welcome to 1960!” If it weren’t for the dang winters where -5 was a balmy day, I’d still be there.
hmmmm. white man ride many miles on iron horse to see little white ball spin round wheel of many number. leave heap big wampum on table drink firewater good for ancestral lands. sky fires disturb spirits in sky bring no wampum bad
South Dakota should take over Mt Rushmore and have the fireworks anyway The national Parks have become just like thw feds they think they can dictate to who ever goes into the national Parks well I am going to boycott the fedural parks to hell with them and the gestapo park rangers I am fed up .
So a bunch of drunken unAmerican redskins are worried about their traditional cultural landscape while they deny ours. OK fine.
When a culture breaks down, what “tribe” do you belong to? What are your interests? Remember who you are. Know thyself, and others.
The democrat party is anti-American ………. it’s that simple.
Easy remedy. Hold the celebration just outside the entrance to the National Park. FJB and his administration. They should have done that last year as well.
Do it anyway, Christie. This is Women’s month. You don’t need cojones…Biden, et.al., wouldn’t recoognize them anyway. They are afraid of the Truth, and strong women!
The South Dakota National guard should show up , hold the feds at bay , and South Dakota can celebrate it’s independence for the marxist agencies.
