Welcome to Joe Biden’s America, where patriotism is at an all-time low – at least from the POV of one political party. Remember President Trump’s 4th of July celebration at Mount Rushmore in 2020?

Yeah, that isn’t exactly happening this year.

From Washington Examiner:

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.

CONTINUED:

“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.

Last year, fireworks and Air Force jets provided a celebratory backdrop behind the iconic, stone-carved presidential figures in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Too bad.

If there’s one place where fireworks should take place in the U.S. on the 4th of July, you’d think Mount Rushmore would be at the top of the list.

Border Sheriff Torches Biden, Says Administration Lied About Transparency

OUCH!

border immigration

From the moment that Joe Biden appeared poised to win the White House back in 2020, there were concerns that the border policies that he brought to the table would create a massive surge in migrants coming to America outside of the lead naturalization process.  When Biden did finally find himself back in the West Wing, it was already too late. The massive influx of migrants had not only materialized, predictably, but the increase was so dramatic that this immigration crisis was soon a humanitarian crisis. Now, amid a slew of criticism already aimed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Joe Biden’s team is getting scorched by a law enforcement official on the border who believes that the administration is breaking a major promise. Mark Dannels, the Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, said on Wednesday that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is not keeping his promise to meet weekly with law enforcement who are dealing with a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico Border. One week after making the promise, no meeting had been set up, Dannels told Fox News, adding that whether Mayorkas will support him and others will be the “true test” of his willingness to deal with the crisis: As previously reported by Fox News, Mayorkas met with sheriffs in El Paso, Texas, about the situation at the U.S. border last Thursday, during his third trip to the border since taking on his role in the administration. At the time, Dannels asked for weekly meetings with Mayorkas, which he told Fox News was agreed to. “Currently we asked [to meet with the Secretary] for once a week, whether that’s through zoom, conference calling, in-person, or whatever needs to happen based on where we’re at today with the border,” Dannels said. “So that’s in the process of being…

Man Turns Gun on Himself After Killing Eight at Indy FedEx Plant

The incident was chaotic, violent, and seemingly random.

Americans were once again a witness to tragedy this week, this time in the sturdy midwestern city of Indianapolis. Police are still in the thick of their investigation, but some of the facts have been made public already. Police scoured a Fedex facility in Indianapolis and interviewed scores of witnesses Friday in search of a motive for the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S., as family members of the eight victims spent agonizing hours waiting for word on their loved ones. Authorities identified the shooter as a young man in his 20s. They said they could not yet say why he opened fire with a rifle late Thursday night at a FedEx processing center near the Indianapolis airport. The shooter would turn the gun on himself as police closed in, and some are now suggesting that there may be a sinister motive. Police Chief Randal Taylor also noted that a “significant” number of employees at the facility are members of the Sikh community. Taylor spoke from a hotel where family members are awaiting word on their loved ones. He says he will stay with the families until they get more information. Eyewitness accounts seem to paint a picture of random, chaotic violence, however. Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot and then went into the building and continued firing. He said the gunman apparently died by suicide shortly before police entered the building. “There was no confrontation with anyone that was there,” he said. “There was no disturbance, there was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting.” As of this writing, police have not publicly identified the shooter.
