“I’m not sure how that contributes to the celebrations, but…Happy 4th!”
But the vlog has us in full eyebrow-raising mode, both for what it shows and what itdoesn’tshow.
Exactly how free is Jana Duggar?

Braving the Southern California heat, Jinger Duggar Vuolo made it through a 5K run on July 4.
“She’s wearing shorts!!!!!
Yessss Janna!!!!”

It seems an odd thing to cheer, but anyone who knows the infamousDuggar dress codewill understand.
Jana, a single adult, is free to choose her wardrobe.
But how much freedom does she have to do anything else?

She reportedly doesn’t have a full-time job, nor is she courting anyone.
Jana travels, but never without a sibling or two.
Does patriarch Jim Bob Duggar still have the ultimate say over her life?
Was there a reason Jessa Duggar wasn’t on camera?
Nor did she make a cameo at the town parade afterward, though her sons Spurgeon and Henry did.
“It was good seeing Ben; wish we could have seen Jessa also,” one commenter noted.
In fact, this Duggar sister has been silent on her own feeds too.
Her last Instagrampostwas in May 2023 when she showed off a self-closing hinge for her back door.
Nor has she updated her vlog since February, whenJessa shared news of her devastating loss.
She had been expecting her fifth child but suffered a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
Or is it possible Jessa is pregnant again, but keeping it mum until she’s farther along?
It certainly would explain why she wasn’t up to running a long race.
For now, these questions remain a mystery.
