For most of the country, this July 4 marks the strangest celebration of the holiday in their lifetime. The country is still on lockdown, which means beaches, businesses, bars and more are closed. Gatherings of people who don’t live together are banned in many locations, and the traditional fireworks displays in various municipalities have been canceled.
But in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump will follow-up his Mount Rushmore appearance on Friday with a speech from the South Lawn of the White House. It will be streamed online and shown on news networks.
The speech will be followed by military flyovers and a huge fireworks display, with a large gathering on the National Mall expected. The flyovers start at 6:45 Pm, with the fireworks at 9:07 Pm.
In anticipation of tonight’s event, President Trump had a light tweet morning. His lone early post consisted of last night’s speech from Mount Rushmore.

A Fox Business channel guest on Monday laid a ton of uninterrupted Dear Leader-esque praise of the president’s handling of the coronavirus crisis that, even for the Trump-friendly station, needs to be heard to be believed.
While responding to a question about whether the president will take further action in restricting Americans’ “freedom of movement and association,” guest Doug Wead, a former special assistant to former president George H.W. Bush, ignored the question and instead gushed about how Trump is handling the crisis overall.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed President Donald Trump via Twitter just before the dawn of Thursday and shortly after Potus announced he would postpone Sotu and instead deliver “in the near future!” from the House chamber.
Pelosi, who controls the keys to that chamber, had said he would be invited back when the government re-opened; Trump previously punched back, saying she canceled Sotu because she did not want the country to know “the truth.”
“Mr. President, I hope by saying ‘near future’ you mean you will support the House-passed package to #EndTheShutdown that the Senate will vote on” Thursday, she tweeted. “Please accept this proposal so we can re-open government, repay our federal workers and then negotiate our differences.”
Instead of responding, Trump made a sharp pivot Thursday morning.
“A great new book just out, “Game of Thorns,” by Doug Wead, Presidential Historian and best selling author,” Trump tweeted. “The...

As Lydia Pogu and Joy Bishara slept in their beds on the night of April 14, 2014, terrorists were hurtling toward their boarding school in the Nigerian town of Chibok.
The girls, both teenagers in their senior year of high school, were resting after a festive evening — dinner, dancing, playing the drums, “just having fun,” Joy tells People.
Suddenly two men burst into the school, claiming to be soldiers who would protect the girls. Frightened, the girls did as they were told, gathering into a group. Then more men arrived, firing guns into the air and shouting, “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great” in Arabic.

Late on the night of April 14, 2014, armed men burst into a boarding school in the Nigerian town of Chibok, where Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu were among hundreds of teenage girls in their beds, fast asleep. Shooting guns into the air, the men began herding the frightened girls into a group, shouting “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great” in Arabic), the telltale rallying cry of Nigeria’s ruthless terrorist group, Boko Haram.
“We were all crying and screaming,” Joy tells People. “They told us to keep quiet or else they’re going to kill us.”
Boko Haram kidnapped nearly 300 girls that night,...
