At least there'll be fireworks in DC. Actual fireworks, not referring to gunfire. Tourists and rural hicks don't need entertainment.
And the NPS’s reason being what?
Fireworks sanctuary state.
If California can have its own EPA rules and immigration laws than South Dakota can shoot fireworks off of Mt. Rushmore.
Democrats don’t want people loving America, proud of America, praising America, celebrating America.
It interrupts their efforts to inculcate hatred for America.
IIRC, a documentary from a few years back, stated that the figures on Rushmore are getting more and more fragile every year from weathering.
The explosions from fireworks could possibly fracture them...................
Do it anyway. Dare President Pudding Cup to stop it.

Why is Mount Rushmore offensive?
For many Native Americans, the 79-year-old Mount Rushmore, with four white faces carved into the granite, is a symbol of similar oppression, especially offensive because it's located in South Dakota's Black Hills, which they regard with reverence.
Maybe you should retroactively DENY All Permits for Water, Sewer and Electricity to ALL Federal Properties in your State, and DISCONNECT THEM!
We live in a Ponderosa Pine forest that is bone dry by July. The month-long fireworks by amateurs scare me to death. The fireworks set off over the many lakes around us are fine, but fireworks have no place in dry forests.

Noem pictures not loading for me
It’s another example of the Biden administration’s bizarre pandering to his lunatic base.
In this case it’s fringe activists who claim that Mt Rushmore is built on land that was “stolen” from Native Americans. For them, the fireworks are an offensive celebration of the disposession of the lands of Native Americans.
This comes on top of the general hatred of American history and traditions that’s part and parcel of Democrat Party politics. They mock and sneer at ANY celebration of the 4th of July. They despise monuments that give honor to great statesmen and patriots like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
These are the real reasons why National Park Service won’t permit 4th of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore.
Have the SD National Guard stage the display anyway. See what Jo(k)e does.
F Biden. I’d do it anyway.
Mayor Melvin Carter, the democrat mayor of St Paul, Minnesota has refused fireworks for 4 years since he first took office in 2018 citing the cost. Ahem, he has hired many friends at $100,000++.
I bet he does it this again for 2022.
This is the democrats trying to cancel America. Anyway they can.
Kristi Noem should mention that Joe Biden and the democrat party are behind canceling the fireworks. They are so point it out.
Glad this RINO has found something else to blah, blah, blah about...
President Retard has a sparkler stuck up his butt 🤪
This is what is funny about the whole thing.
Keystone, which is next to My Rushmore, has a display every year
