[@nicholastate9486]

[@nnuunnooc]

Only if you pay admission to get in a reserved area at what in fact is publuc space, otherwise step aside to behind the fence on west side highway asphalt….

[@QueensNativeNYC]

That's not good that they put the fireworks back on the Hudson

[@doublescorpioariesmoon169]

why

[@QueensNativeNYC]

Because I can't see them from my neighborhood now.. 😂

[@cak813]

Keep the fireworks on the East River. That way people from Brooklyn and Queens can see them, too, as well as Manhattan.

[@QueensNativeNYC]

@@cak813 Spot on.. Let Jersey have their own firework display elsewhere

[@NNNN-cp4bn]

Why you talking about same guy who is interested if he comes to west side? Are you having crush on him?

AMERICA JULY 4th. - 2024 ***** America the abundant, the place I was born I'll cherish till the day I die. Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground Who loved her the same as I. Her mountains are so tall they reach for the sky With prairies where the green grasses grow. There's billions of trees where wild birds nest With creatures that flourish below. That blue gold called water with which we are blessed As raindrops or crystallized snow; Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes While the winds of our seasons blow. There's the haunt of a whistle from a lonely freight train Racing on ribbons of steel With the harvest of farms and from the factories Balanced in a box on a wheel. Some cities have buildings a hundred stories tall Structures of concrete, glass and steel. A statue in a harbor, a present from France Describes how, inside, we feel. That flag on the moon with red and white stripes Proves America’s dreams come true. A country of heroes who line up to protect The past, the present and the few. Never be afraid to be proud of America And march with the brave, faithful and just. Refusing to submit to the will of our enemies Standing firm to preserve what we trust. We can’t foresee what the future may bring Though we give it our best not to fail. Every 4th of July we illuminate the sky Proving freedom is alive and well. By Tom Zart! Most Published Poet On The Web! George Bush Tom Zart

Ha that's nice. Back on earth the US is now a kingdom but your taxes still pay to support and enable the abuse of children in 46 states with no laws against archaic forms of discipline in private schools. Isn't that awesome?! What a creepshow huh?

The A B C's of salvation: A-Admit that you are a sinner B- Believe that Jesus is Lord , died for your sins, buried and rose from the dead. C- Call upon his name; Jesus name!

[@ritaliang7610]

But I don’t believe in Jesus Christ 😅

[@Orangecar2626]

[@malenaanja7293]

[@USA92]

Old video isn't the only thing huh?

[@ron030363]

Celebrating the death of people is not right.

[@RitadawnTedescoPerez]

What??

[@CRC6547]

😅😅😅❤

[@Rick-fz7tt]

Macys show was terrible to many blacks.😊

[@JamieLacotts-tc5kj]

Is a worst fireworks ever😭

[@nnuunnooc]

When it will be the day people realize that is no reason to be proud or feel patriotic when the Water front public park is reserved privileged’s private parties while the big majority is confined behind a fence on the West Highway asphalt… I can’t get my head around how this society finds this acceptable.

Who is talking PonchoVilla?
