The best place to be on Independence Day, now mis-labeled 'The Fourth', is in a small city or big town. There, they celebrate the holiday in traditional ways that I and many people consider nostalgic and pleasant.
The holiday would be even better if it were a real celebration of independence, not the independence from British king George III, 250 years ago. Independence should be concerned about the present, not the past.
Today we need our independence from the idea of an American Empire, from a foreign policy subservient to Israel, and from the industry of China. The list is longer than that, actually.
Perhaps independence is not something that the average peasant yearns for in most countries, most of the time. I wonder what causes the yearning to arise here and there, now and then?

Read the Declaration of Independence yesterday.
Keep thinking of the people throwing off the awful government to start anew.
If some arrests are not made soon, it will be time.
Politicians. Making everyone crazy. OR like I've said before, the planets are aligned in such a way that it puts added stress, brain fog, physical maladies and feelings of power and grandeaur. Some feel better, invigorated and ready to take over the world. While others feel sick, tired, lorded over, manipulated, etc. Things get testy. The only reason the peasants haven't revolted is it is a messy thing and people are basically comfortable. If congress continues to have hearings and send strongly worded letters instead of someone being held accountable for all that's going on, arrests made with convictions and properly sentenced, it will not be good for anyone. The White House put out AI videos of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Many lost everything, families, homes, gave their wealth to the cause, even their own lives. People are not wanting to repeat that history and are hoping & praying congress does their damn jobs.
The above comment I left out the word "I" in the two middle sentences, but not sure if that is the confusion.
