This year, several local governments are switching up their 4th of July celebrations, conducting drone shows in lieu of fireworks.
Lincoln City, Oregon; Redwood City, California; Waynesboro, Virginia; and Pasadena, California, are all jumping on the drone show bandwagon.
Lincoln City provided an explanation for the change alongside the schedule for their 4th of July celebrations: “We are making this change in response to growing community concerns about the environmental and wildlife impacts, public safety issues, and wildfire risk that can be caused by traditional fireworks shows.”
Redwood City stated that their new tradition of drone shows will provide “all the &#8216;wow&#8217; without the worry.”
<a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-19/no-fireworks-but-drones-how-pasadena">Pasadena</a> announced that they would replace the annual fireworks at the Rose Bowl &#8212; known for being one of the largest and longest running shows in the nation &#8212; with a drone show.
The debate of fireworks versus drones is a hot one.
Proponents of drone shows point to the pollution caused by fireworks.
On Monday, Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) published a <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/egle/newsroom/mi-environment/2025/06/30/are-fireworks-bad-for-air-quality">report</a> warning residents that “EGLE’s air monitoring network often shows high levels of particulate pollution over the 4th of July.”

Additionally, it&#8217;s claimed that drone shows are more inclusive and respectful of wildlife and pets.
“Drones produce almost no noise, allowing pets and veterans that may have PTSD to enjoy aerial entertainment, unlike fireworks,” says <a href="https://parade.com/living/why-drone-shows-may-replace-fireworks">Tyler Kubicz</a>, production manager for Sky Elements Drones, the largest drone show company in the United States.
“Drones also do not produce debris or smoke, allowing for those with compromised immune systems to enjoy the show too.&#8221;
“Fireworks frighten birds out of their nests, send terrified dogs and cats running away from their homes, and start fires that can quickly turn devastating,” PETA’s executive vice president commented in <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-19/no-fireworks-but-drones-how-pasadena">response</a> to Pasadena’s announcement in April.
Viewers say they appreciate the futuristic effects and storytelling capabilities of drones. &#8220;Reactions to the show in 2023 were overwhelmingly <a href="https://parade.com/living/why-drone-shows-may-replace-fireworks">positive</a>,” said Amber Thrill, operations manager for the city.
&#8220;The primary request through the 2023 event survey was for the drone show to be longer.”
On the flip side, drone shows are significantly more expensive, being approximately <a href="https://www.droneshowsoftware.com/news/the-growing-trend-of-integrated-drones-and-fireworks-shows">10 times</a> the cost of fireworks.
Fourth of July fireworks are also a <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-virginia-gazette-a-grand-exhibition/80529037/">centuries long</a> American tradition, and many Americans love the explosiveness and nostalgia of fireworks. This has led some cities to walk back on their changes.
“Redondo Beach and Laguna Beach switched back to fireworks after trying out drone shows, and some promoters of fireworks shows have voiced criticism over efforts to transition to drone shows,” writes the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-19/no-fireworks-but-drones-how-pasadena">LA Times</a>.

President Donald Trump on Friday issued an unapologetic, pro-masculinity Father&#8217;s Day proclamation, honoring fathers and father figures across the nation for their strength and leadership.
The tone of the proclamation runs counter to left-wing messaging that masculinity is often &#8220;toxic,&#8221; and the differences between the sexes are merely an unhealthy social construct.
&#8220;America&#8217;s fathers are the custodians of our strength, the leaders of our families, and the protectors of our security and safety,&#8221; it <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/fathers-day-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads</a>. &#8220;This Father&#8217;s Day, my Administration pays tribute to every father whose fierce love, heroic devotion, and inspiring example are molding the next generation.&#8221;
&#8220;Whether by birth, adoption, or father figures, America&#8217;s dads help shape the character and future of our Nation,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Through their example, they instill strength, integrity, and perseverance in their children. They rise early, work late, make sacrifices, and remain steadfast in their love and commitment to their families.&#8221;
The president added that fathers &#8220;lead through action, speak with purpose, and impart wisdom honed by experience.&#8221;
&#8220;From their children&#8217;s earliest days as infants through their journey into adulthood, fathers leave a lasting influence that reaches far beyond the walls of their homes,&#8221; the proclamation said. &#8220;The presence of a father also serves to plant the seeds of virtue and instill American values in their children. For many, dads are the first to teach the value of hard work, love of country, and the importance of living with conviction. With every generation, these lessons are carried forth.&#8221;

Trump said his administration will continue to stand with fathers and families to shield children from &#8220;the toxic lies of gender ideology&#8221; and keep &#8220;our neighborhoods safe by backing our law enforcement, crushing violent crime, and ensuring our southern border remains sealed and secure.&#8221;
&#8220;Together, we are building a Nation where fathers can lead with strength, protect their families, and pass on the timeless values that make America great,&#8221; he wrote.
&#8220;Today, we celebrate the invaluable role our fathers play in shaping our families, guiding our communities, and strengthening our country &#8212; and we offer our unending thanks for their leadership, selflessness, and inspiration,&#8221; Trump closed.
In recent years, Democrats have routinely refused to recognize the differences between the genders, both biological and social. For example, numerous prominent Democrats have referred to pregnant women and mothers as &#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/08/missouri-congresswoman-under-fire-for-calling-women-birthing-people/">birthing people</a>&#8221; or women as &#8220;<a href="https://www.them.us/story/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-slams-newspaper-mocking-trans-inclusive-language">menstruating people</a>.&#8221; There has also been much discourse diminishing traditionally masculine qualities as &#8220;<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/aocs-frustration-with-the-toxic-masculinity-of-bernie-bros-revealed-in-new-book/">toxic</a>,&#8221; specifically as it pertains to white males.

The state of Washington, which does not officially recognize Easter or Yom Kippur as state holidays, became the first state in the nation to recognize the two Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as unpaid state-recognized holidays when Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson <a href="https://tvw.org/video/governor-bob-ferguson-bill-signing-2025041217/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed the legislation into law</a> this month.
“<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5106&amp;Year=2025&amp;Initiative=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate Bill 5106</a>, sponsored by Sen.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump marked Easter with a Truth Social post that paired festive greetings with his signature irreverent tone.
The <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114370361342759621" target="_blank" rel="noopener">missive</a> featured references to illegal immigration, judicial <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bondi-says-the-real-constitutional-crisis-is-judicial-lawfare-not-trump-exec-actions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawfare</a>, the 2020 election, and former President Joe Biden&#8217;s controversial use of an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-pardons-signed-autopen-on-vacation-watchdog-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autopen</a> to sign official documents.
&#8220;Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country,&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America,&#8221; Trump continued.
Trump added, &#8220;He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing &#8212; But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!&#8221;
In an earlier post, Trump delivered a message from himself and the First Lady, Melania, to mark the holiday.
&#8220;Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace and Joy for all who celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. HE IS RISEN!!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114370333902322250" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Vice President JD Vance spent part of Easter Sunday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jd-vance-pays-brief-visit-to-pope-francis-on-easter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meeting</a> Pope Francis at the Vatican.
&#8220;The Vice President expressed his gratitude to Pope Francis for inviting him to meet on Easter Sunday and for the hospitality the Vatican has extended to his family,&#8221; the White House said in a statement.
Vance <a href="https://x.com/VP/status/1913977824739729459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X, &#8220;Today I met with the Holy Father Pope Francis. I am grateful for his invitation to meet, and I pray for his good health. Happy Easter!&#8221;

Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” — the prequel to the hugely popular 2019 live-action remake  “Lion King” — struggled at the holiday box office on its opening weekend, falling to Paramount’s “Sonic” sequel.
Coming in second place behind “Sonic The Hedgehog 3” was the highly anticipated backstory to the “Lion King,” which made $35 million at the domestic box office, falling well behind its pre-release expectations of $50 million, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/box-office-sonic-the-hedgehog-3-starts-strong-mufasa-lion-king-misfires-opening-weekend-1236257432/">Variety</a> noted. It comes after Disney spent more than $200 million to make the film and another $100 million in worldwide promotions. 
“Sonic,” on the other hand, earned a total of $62 million from moviegoers — and cost $122 million to make — according to the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h/charts/">Hollywood Reporter.</a> 
“As we’ve seen this franchise’s audience grow, we saw a window in the marketplace in December where we thought we could stand out,” Paramount’s president of domestic distribution Chris Aronson said. “We’ve been able to accomplish that. ‘Sonic’ is going to dominate through the holidays.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
“Mufasa” is projected for a $35 million opening weekend, which would mark a profound decline from the $191 million domestic debut of its 2019 predecessor. <a href="https://t.co/Xbf15uPj7N">https://t.co/Xbf15uPj7N</a> <a href="https://t.co/cvxrRkfIoT">pic.twitter.com/cvxrRkfIoT</a>

“Mufasa” also struggled globally, earning $87 million after being projected to earn well over $120 million, Variety noted. In comparison, the 2019 “Lion King” had a domestic opening weekend of $191 million, per <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3321923073/weekend/?ref_=bo_tt_gr#table">Box Office Mojo</a>. 
Taking over third place was Universal’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wicked">Wicked</a>,” which has made $383.9 million since it opened before Thanksgiving holiday.
Disney also occupies the fourth spot at the box office with the sequel to “Moana,” earning another $13 million to bring the total to $359 million at the domestic box office.
Rounding out the fifth spot in the top 5 comes the apocalyptic thriller “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/studio-behind-sound-of-freedom-ready-to-release-new-apocalyptic-film-tv-series-homestead">Homestead</a>” from Angel Studios” — the same studio that brought the sleeper hit “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sound-of-freedom">Sound Of Freedom</a>” to the big screen in 2022. “Homestead” earned $6 million over the film’s opening weekend, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h/charts/">THR noted</a>.
Some have suggested the poor showing for “Mufasa” could be a sign of things to come for future live-action adaptations from Disney and could signal trouble ahead for its upcoming live action “Snow White,&#8221; Variety noted.
The star of “Snow White” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disneys-snow-white-star-slammed-as-she-continues-bashing-original-film-in-another-resurfaced-video">Rachel Zegler</a>, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-says-live-action-snow-white-will-be-delayed-one-year-just-weeks-after-backlash-to-lead-actress-bashing-original-film">vocal left-wing activist</a>, made headlines — and faced backlash — after she described the prince as a “stalker” and made it clear the live-action story she was part of would have nothing in common with the “weird” original love story from 1937.
Months later in an interview for <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1734342385721844037">Variety</a> with fellow Disney actress Halle Bailey, Zegler appeared to sing a different tune when she gushed over the original “Snow White” as “a monumental moment in film history,” and said she “loves everything the Disney company has put out” since its inception.
Following Zegler’s remarks bashing the original film, The Daily Wire’s kids entertainment company <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;mid=g&amp;cid=dailywire&amp;xid=0&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAudG5BhAREiwAWMlSjDtFJvH0hNmWFWoNpN27XnORbr00zIj739tvZaCKUXcX1pwQuB2CnBoCehsQAvD_BwE">Bentkey</a> announced it would make a live-action film titled “Snow White and the Evil Queen,” starring YouTube sensation Brett Cooper.
