Fireworks—An American Tradition
Our current fascination with Fourth of July fireworks has its roots deep in American history. Even before the final version of the Declaration of Independence was signed, John Adams envisioned great celebrations in the future, ones that would include fireworks. In fact, in the same letter, referenced above that he wrote on July 3, 1776—just the day before the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence—he said that festivities should include:

Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forever more.

Those illuminations that he referred to? You guessed it… fireworks!

It is also said, that fireworks displays were used as morale boosters for soldiers in the Revolutionary War. At the time however, fireworks were the same type of explosives used in war and were called rockets, not fireworks. And so colonists celebrated the fourth even before they knew if they would win the war. Fireworks were further popularized in the late 1700s by politicians that had displays at their speeches, and they became a firmly established tradition by the 1800s.

Presidential Claimant Old Joe celebrated Independence Day Eve by hosting a quiet dinner for 16 guests, several of whom reportedly left early. It was over by 8:30 p.m. and he then went to bed and read a novel for a bit, according to a White House statement.

Meanwhile, the President of the United States held a party mass rally last night a few miles from his estate at Mar-a-Lago for 25,000 foot soldiers in the Army of Trump. Entertainment consisted of a 90-minute speech by President Trump followed by a huge fireworks display.

We knew Old Joe was hard of hearing, but we didn't know he was also tone deaf.

Not sure where the 16 CENTS reduction comes from. I guess if you removed all the food and napkins (lumber) then depreciate the reused table-cloth you get the 16 cents.

Prices for food advanced 2.2 percent, while prices for energy increased 28.5 percent. Prices for all items less food and energy rose 3.8 percent for the year ended May 2021, the largest 12-month increase since the year ended June 1992.

C'mon NOW..!

Do NOT question official government pronouncements of how GOOD we have it now in the USA under control of the Liberal Democrats. They are for the poor and down-trodden. RIGHT?? Ignore the facts about rising gasoline and food prices. Those are NOT important. RIGHT?? THIS MUST ALL be FAKE News.

Anyone else take the time to look up and see what this publicly available and fully sourced info actually says before declaring it fake news and lies by the democrats?

I think the MAIN point I am making that a 16 cent drop for ONE holiday meal is a "DROP in the [otherwise Rising] bucket" compared to overall price increases over many sectors of the economy of the USA.

I do not agree that Henry IV of France belongs here, along with others you referenced, ConfSS.

Henry IV (French: Henri IV; 13 December 1553 – 14 May 1610), also known by the epithet Good King Henry or Henry the Great, was King of Navarre (as Henry III) from 1572 and King of France from 1589 to 1610. He was the first monarch of France from the House of Bourbon, a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. He was assassinated in 1610 by François Ravaillac, a fanatical Catholic, and was succeeded by his son Louis XIII.[1]

skip to......

Considered a usurper by some Catholics and a traitor by some Protestants, Henry became the target of at least 12 assassination attempts.[3] Having faced much opposition during his reign, Henry gained more status after his death.[4] He was admired for his repeated victories over his enemies and his conversion to Catholicism. "Good King Henry" (le bon roi Henri) was remembered for his geniality and his great concern about the welfare of his subjects.[2] An active ruler, he worked to regularise state finance, promote agriculture, eliminate corruption and encourage education. During his reign,[5] the French colonization of the Americas truly began with the foundation of the colonies of Acadia and Canada at Port-Royal and Quebec, respectively. He was celebrated in the popular song "Vive le roi Henri" (which later became an anthem for the French monarchy during the reigns of his successors) and in Voltaire's Henriade.

Henry IV was controversial during his reign, but overall, I think he helped France LOTS.

--------The only reason....Is Hoover's PR dept. used/Stoled...Henry IV's line.... Without his knowing....In the 1928 election...Now as Hoover says...He never said it...But when your PR dept. Makes a slogan...You let it go...You said it...For it would come to hurt Hoover,in the 1932 election...as FDR would crush his bid for reelection...But yes it counts...Because,Hoover lets others steal lines from the past,and lets others speak for him.... ...Marie's line was her own,but an uncaring and stupid one...So it also suits, Sleepy Joe... ...

What may be most important is not be the TRUTH, but how the truth is reported.
