Mother Nature speaks louder, and never needs a teleprompter!

RE: Thunderstorms cancel Trump's July 4th "long" speech - Yazata - Jul 5, 2026
President Trump just delivered a long speech with lots of guests, including the Artemis II astronauts and a bunch of surviving World War II veterans. It was a really positive, upbeat speech.
Now they are having a huge fireworks show.

And the really massive fireworks show just concluded. One of the biggest fireworks shows ever, some 850,000 fireworks!

I prefer Nature's fireworks to man-made ones...

If you like lightning, check out this drone show organized in part by Elon's brother Kimbal, honoring the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the North Dakota badlands.

Can't see it because I'm not a member of X. Tks anyway.

Wow, that's impressive against the backdrop of actual thunderstorms.

I'm not a member of either X or Facebook but can still access a particular post if someone provides a direct link to it. And that's with a VPN usually mediating, which should actually make it more difficult due to the bot-paranoia that most sites exhibit. ("You must pass the test to get through, blah, blah.")

That's close to the border of Montana. No wonder the landscape looks like that.

I used to be able to just click the x when the login prompt appeared and then see the video. But not with this one. Maybe they discovered our workaround.
