Folks, it's happening again. The so-called 'government' of Texas is tightening its grip on our God-given right to blow things up in the name of freedom. That's right—your Fourth of July fireworks display is under attack by the same bureaucrats who probably think brisket is 'too spicy.' Let me break it down for you, because the mainstream media won't.

First, they claim fireworks are 'prohibited' in Travis County. Oh, really? Since when did Austin become the People's Republic of No Fun? Next thing you know, they'll be banning cowboy boots and replacing them with Birkenstocks. And don't even get me started on Tarrant County requiring permits from the 'fire marshal's office.' Since when did America require paperwork to celebrate liberty? That's not freedom—that's tyranny with a clipboard.

Dallas County? Oh, they’re the worst. A $2,000 fine for setting off fireworks? That’s not a penalty—that’s a shakedown! Meanwhile, the elites in their high-rise condos probably have private drone light shows while the rest of us are stuck with 'approved' sparklers. And Harris County? They’ll let you light fireworks, but only if you’re not near a church, school, or hospital. Because apparently, explosions are fine—just not near buildings where people might, you know, exist.

And let’s talk about the real conspiracy here: the 'approved' fireworks list. Sky rockets banned if they’re too small? That’s Big Fireworks suppressing the little guy! They want you buying their overpriced, 'safe' explosives while the real patriots are out there trying to launch bottle rockets from a Pringles can. Wake up, sheeple!

But here’s the kicker—fireworks are only allowed during 'approved' holidays. Texas Independence Day? Sure. Cinco de Mayo? Okay. But what about Arbor Day? What if I want to celebrate my neighbor’s cat’s birthday with a Roman candle? Nope. The state says no.

Bottom line: They don’t want you celebrating freedom the way our forefathers intended—with gunpowder, questionable decisions, and a high risk of setting the lawn on fire. This isn’t about safety. It’s about control. And mark my words, next they’ll be coming for your grill. Stay vigilant, patriots. And maybe buy some extra fireworks while you still can—before they’re replaced with state-mandated glow sticks.
