THIS TIME THE RULING CLASS GOVERNING APPARATCHIK TOOK IT DOWN: Jeffrey Epstein statue installed in front of Albuquerque city hall.

LAST WEEK (June 30th) I linked to a DiploMad post titled "The West is breeding ravens."

On July 3rd, TownHall made it visual.

NO MORE SUICIDES: Federal officials have hired top-rated Italian body guard Hillena Clintonelli to protect Ghislaine Maxwell.

Of course it's the Babylon Bee.

SOME REFLECTIONS FROM INDEPENDENCE DAY:

THE DIPLOMAD: The 4th now more than ever. Click through to read the comments.

AMERICAN GREATNESS: A magnificent speech.

SARAH HOYT: Fly the flag proudly.

CALIFORNIA TO THE PEOPLE: No fireworks. THE PEOPLE to California: Watch this.

I was somewhat annoyed (to say the least) that all channels (including Fox, to my everlasting regret) cut away from President Trump's fireworks display on the National Mall shortly after it began. Shame on them all.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for July 7, 2020:

Since Friday's update, the coronavirus toll remains relatively stable. The cumulative toll continues to increase slowly as the number of daily deaths remains low. We had 3 days over the weekend of very few deaths, followed by the predictable Monday spike of delayed weekend reports.

That said, the estimated number of uninfected Americans continues to decline, now down to 48.317%. The daily death rate continues its decline, now at 0.0783%, and the rolling average continues its steady decline now that the June 25th 'bump' has fallen out.

Gov. Brian Kemp has kept Georgia open. As was the case at my last report, the number of newly confirmed cases remains quite high, but deaths remain low.
