The United States is quickly preparing for a “blockbuster” 4th of July Holiday Weekend this year, with antsy citizens ready to blow off some steam after being stuck in the house for more than 15 months.
“I’m really pumped and excited,” said one traveler. “This is my first real thing, with a crowd and everything.”

“As much as Americans have ventured out in recent months as the coronavirus pandemic eases in the U.S., this long July Fourth weekend is a turning point, as if the country has decided en masse that it is ready to get back to live entertainment, large celebrations, block parties and elaborate fireworks extravaganzas—not to mention old-fashioned parades and pie-eating contests,” reports the Wall Street Journal.
Who is ready for some Red White & Blue time?

JOE NO! Biden Tells Un-Vaccinated Americans They May Have to Cancel the Fourth of July
President Biden issued a dire warning to un-vaccinated Americans this week; saying those unwilling to mask-up for the next few months and receive the injection may have to cancel their Fourth of July celebrations.
“More than 51 percent of American adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to CDC data, indicating that herd immunity and the pandemic’s end are near,” reports the New York Post.
“But Biden said at the White House that he’s not yet comfortable saying people can hold small outdoor gatherings on Independence Day,” adds the newspaper.

“Back on March 11, I outlined a vision of what America could look like by the Fourth of July — an America that was much closer to normal life that we left behind more than a year ago,” Biden said.
He added: “To celebrate our independence from this virus on July 4th with family and friends in small groups, we still have more to do in the months of May and June. We all need to mask up until the number of cases goes down, until everyone has a chance to get their shot.”
