Some Americans who have always celebrated the anniversary of our country's independence see us losing independence and so much else on the eve of our 250th. They aren't in the mood for a parade.

Trump’s American State Fair Gets Even Worse Thanks to the Heat Wave

A heat wave in Washington, D.C., is making attendance at President Trump’s July 4 festivities even worse.U.S. Capitol Police have already restricted Thursday night’s rehearsal for “A Capitol Fourth Concert” to essential personnel, posting on X that they came to the decision after consulting with the Capitol’s Office of the Attending Physician.“For safety reasons, the public will not be able to attend tonight’s rehearsal concert,” the post read. “Everyone is sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. The National Weather Service is forecasting an extreme heat watch with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees.”The post added that an update will come Friday by 10 a.m. on the status of the full concert, which is scheduled to take place from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday night.Similar warnings are hitting the Great American State Fair; organizers have already had to cancel a rodeo demonstration scheduled for Thursday night. Attendance at the fair overall has been depressed, and some visitors are complaining about the weather. U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer had an audience of maybe 25 people when he spoke about tariffs on the main stage Thursday afternoon.Many booths at the fair don’t have air conditioning, leading at least one visitor to overheat. She told a reporter she finally found relief at a baptism tent, where she took a dip to cool down.Great American State Fair goer tells our @JenDelgadoFOX many of the booths she went to today didn't have air conditioning, she overheated, said she saw stars and needed medical attention -- found the baptism tent and took a dip to cool down pic.twitter.com/Smufj0GN8g— Homa Bash (@HomaBashNews) July 2, 2026Even without the heat, the fair is coming across as tacky, with empty booths and a lack of energy. The food is expensive, reviews are abysmal, and people aren’t coming, enraging the president. When it hasn’t been hot, it’s been raining. America’s 250th anniversary was already going poorly thanks to Trump, and now the weather may cement the once-in-a-lifetime event’s status as a failure.

No World Cup jobs bump evident in June data

With the U.S. hosting the World Cup, there have been plenty of anecdotes about a booming tourism economy in host cities — Scotland fans drinking Boston bars out of beer, for example.But no World Cup hiring bump is evident in the June employment data.By the numbers: Leisure and hospitality employment fell by 61,000 jobs in June. That's the category that includes restaurant and hotel employment and is most sensitive to tourism trends.The report also sharply revised down what had been first reported as a huge surge in May employment in the sector — to 40,000 jobs added from 70,000.Of note: The month-to-month numbers are volatile, reflecting both sampling error and the vagaries of seasonal adjustment processes. But even over slightly longer time frames, there also is not much to see.The leisure and hospitality sector has shed an average of 9,000 jobs in the last three months. It gained an average of 13,000 jobs monthly in the 12 months before that.The intrigue: It's worth watching whether a World Cup bump shows up in the local economies in other ways, including retail sales and local tax receipts.Employment data for metro areas in June will be released later in the month.The bottom line: "Many had forecast additional hiring needed to support the draw of travelers from abroad and within the U.S. flocking to World Cup venues," Jim Baird of Plante Moran Financial Advisors wrote in a note. "That either didn't materialize or was more than offset by losses elsewhere."
