Screw the local tribes. Who won that war?
“Fireworks continue to be viewed by multiple Tribes as an adverse effect on the traditional cultural landscape,”

Got to be some state land nearby. Shoot them off from there.
Offer them blankets.
The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
Just slip some payloa to the tribal elders, and the problem is solved.
Then use those swarms of lit up drones and emulate fireworks. Screw them!!
Commies gonna commie. Bet you’re behind that if a rat was governor, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Ignore the Court’s order. Problem solved.
It's retaliation for hosting President Trump's Independence Day Mt. Rushmore rally in 2020.
The House should look into reducing the budget for the Interior Department until this nonsense stops.

I doubt the Navajos are part of this. They are the most patriotic tribe in America, or at least they were in my experience during the Run For The Wall I rode with some years back.
Tell the government to piss off and have the fireworks anyway. They had them for years prior to someone named Karen having kittens over this.
Federal Handouts = Adverse Effects
Paved Roads = Adverse Effects
Electricity = Adverse Effects
Running Water = Adverse Effects
Medicare = Adverse Effects
Madicaid = Adverse Effects
Do it anyway! Let them protest with another Raindance, bring your own Tomahawks.
Do it anyway.
“traditional cultural views”....I remember reading old documents about the Indians and their dancing and chanting and the horrible noises they made.
No. The Park Service didnt disapprove fireworks. A bureaucrat with a name and an address did. No “Govt Agency” ever does anything. The people in those agencies do things. They can be identified. And should be.
"EXCLUSIVE: National Parks Service [??? emphasis added] Denies Gov. Noem’s Request For Mt. Rushmore Fireworks Over ‘Adverse Effect’ On Local Tribes"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Why did Gov. Noem request permission for fireworks from non-popularly-elected bureaucrats running Parks Service?
After all, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had expected popularly elected federal lawmakers to risk losing their offices by refusing permission for things like fireworks displays, especially when a state pays for it.
Certainly Congress can take a short break from making 4,155 page unconstitutional, unaccountable federal omnibus spending bills to keep the peacetime US Mail Service running (ahem) for a quick vote on a fireworks display that doesn't involve unconstitutional federal tax dollars.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
In fact, patriots need to start making noise about ALL the states effectively "seceding" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by working with their MAGA state lawmakers to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).
If the repeal 16&17A amendment were strictly limited to that purpose, then relatively little, or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification imo.
