The scolds at the liberal Washington Post are whining about fireworks and climate change, just as the country is getting ready to celebrate Independence Day.

Can you imagine how exhausting it is to live this way? Finding fault with everything and linking nearly everything to climate change?

The Post even compares the effects of fireworks to smoke from wildfires.

FOX News reports:

Washington Post bemoans how July 4th ‘most polluted day of the year’ because of fireworks

Climate reporters for the Washington Post lectured how fireworks from 4th of July celebrations will exacerbate air pollution caused by recent wildfires.

As millions of Americans prepare to celebrate the nation’s founding with a traditional fireworks display, climate reporters Kasha Patel and Kate Selig warned that these displays spread harmful pollutants. The piece went as far as to refer to the holiday as “the most polluted day of the year.”

“It may come as a surprise, but the federal holiday stands out as the most polluted day of the year in many locations across the nation, according to air quality data. Fireworks — the staple of Independence Day celebrations — light up the sky but also launch harmful pollutants. In some cases, the pollution levels from the pyrotechnics are similar to severe wildfire smoke,” the article read.

The piece compared the level of smoke and air pollution to recent Canadian wildfires that caused thick and hazy smoke to spread throughout the East Coast of the United States. FOX Weather’s analysis of EPA historical data noted in June that New York City experienced its worst air quality in recorded history because of the smoke.

Here’s the bad news for the folks at the Washington Post. Americans love fireworks on the 4th. Remember when Gavin Newsom tried to ban them during COVID?

Never forget July 4th, 2020 in California

Gavin Newsom banned fireworks as a ‘Covid measure’

This is how Californians responded to his tyranny

Th new Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, is falling flat on its face in its opening weekend.

This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Indiana Jones has been a beloved character and film franchise for American audiences for decades.

It looks as though Disney has destroyed any good will they had left with the American movie-going public.

Breitbart News reports:

Disney’s ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Bombs All Over the World with $2.3 Million Opening in China

It appears that audiences around the world were not much interested in seeing an octogenarian swashbuckling archaeologist being berated by his niece for two hours as Disney’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny could only dig up $2.3 million for its opening day in China, a mere $60 million for its domestic weekend, and “lackluster” box office numbers elsewhere.

The film had a bad enough opening in the U.S. earning only $60 million for its first weekend in theaters, making it officially a box office bomb in the U.S., especially considering that it cost north of $400 million to make, distribute, and advertise the film.

While the U.S. take was bad enough, it appears that the Chinese market delivered the film an even harsher blow bringing in only $2.3 million for its first weekend in Chinese theaters, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

This news has got to have some people in Hollywood in complete panic.

Disney is toxic! What a terrible shame! Disney is a brand we all grew up with & were in love with.

But like our public schools, Disney has sided with the gender hysteria & the woke poisoning of childhood innocence. https://t.co/FUp0mWr1TG

In contrast, Jim Caviezel’s latest film Sound of Freedom is exploding across the country.

People are just done with woke Hollyood and they’re voting with their wallets.
