    Trump To Host UFC Fight On White House Lawn For Nation’s 250th Birthday Celebration

      In an unprecedented combination of politics, patriotism, and prizefighting, President Donald J. Trump announced plans to host a UFC championship event on the grounds of the White House as part of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding in 2026.

      Speaking at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Trump electrified the crowd with his trademark flair and unexpected showmanship:

      “Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House.”

      The event is expected to draw between 20,000 and 25,000 spectators, turning the South Lawn into a high-profile arena for one of the world’s fastest-growing sports. UFC CEO Dana White, a known Trump ally and supporter, is reportedly spearheading the effort and may even build a temporary arena on the historic property. Their relationship, built on mutual admiration and media savvy, is set to culminate in a one-of-a-kind spectacle on one of the world’s most iconic stages.

      Leading up to and following the 2024 election, Trump made regular appearances at UFC events, receiving raucous receptions from packed arenas across the country. Each time he entered, chants of “USA” and deafening applause followed him through the crowd. Fighters — including reigning champions and top contenders — have repeatedly gone out of their way to acknowledge him cage-side, often shaking his hand, giving him a shoutout in post-fight interviews, or posing for photos after victories. The relationship has become a cultural touchstone, especially among younger male voters and sports fans who see the crossover between MMA and Trump’s brand of anti-establishment politics as a natural fit.

      “We have a lot of land there, we’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana is going to do it,” Trump said. “Dana is great, one of a kind. It’s going to be a full UFC championship fight, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘America250’.”

      The UFC event is just one component of what Trump promises will be the “single greatest year in the history of our country.” Marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the president laid out an ambitious vision for 2026, featuring a slate of high-profile events.

      Trump, who has been a frequent and welcome guest at UFC events, has long touted the promotion as emblematic of American grit, discipline, and competitiveness.

      While presidents have hosted concerts, picnics, and even Easter egg rolls on the property, this will mark the first time that the historic estate becomes a venue for a global sports event with tens of thousands of fans in attendance.

      Lifelong Democrat Ditches Party Over Trump Bill

      President Donald J. Trump announced his latest push to support American workers and American-made cars: a sweeping tax reform that will let vehicle owners deduct interest on U.S.-made auto loans — a move that puts American industry, not foreign conglomerates, back in the driver’s seat.

      Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with hardworking men and women from across the country — from farmers to food delivery drivers — Trump proudly introduced James Benson, a third-generation Ford autoworker from Belleville, Michigan, as a symbol of the shift sweeping Middle America.

      “I used to be a Democrat,” Benson said, “but after what President Trump did for our jobs and our families, I changed in 2017. I saw the difference right away — in my paycheck, in our plant, and in the way Washington finally started listening to us.”

      President Trump, whose bold tax overhaul in 2017 unleashed a wave of economic growth and record employment, doubled down on his Buy American, Hire American pledge. This time, his weapon of choice is a “big, beautiful” bill that makes auto loan interest up to $10,000 fully tax-deductible — but only if the vehicle was assembled in the U.S.A.

      “If your car is made here in America — not in China, not in Mexico — then you get the deduction,” Trump declared. “If it’s made someplace else, we don’t care.”

      The tax break would apply to passenger vehicles — including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles — built on U.S. soil and delivered fully assembled to dealerships. This ensures that the jobs created and the benefits received stay where they belong: right here in the United States.

      Details of the America First Auto Loan Deduction

      • Deduction Limit: Up to $10,000 in interest on qualified auto loans
      • Eligibility: Applies only to vehicles assembled in the U.S.
      • Income Threshold: Phases out for individuals earning above $100,000
      • Time Frame: Applies to tax years 2025 through 2028

      James Benson’s story mirrors that of millions across the Rust Belt: Americans who voted Democrat for decades but saw real results only after Trump took office.

      “Ford has a lot of plants here,” Trump noted. “And if you build here, you’re going to make a lot of money. I love the autoworkers.”

      This isn’t just rhetoric. Ford recently announced a $3.5 billion investment in a battery plant in Michigan, citing stable trade conditions and pro-manufacturing policy signals.

      Here’s What’s Inside The Senate’s Version Of Trump’s Bill

        In a major victory for the America First agenda, Senate Republicans united early Tuesday morning to pass President Donald Trump’s monumental “big, beautiful bill.” This sweeping legislation is designed to supercharge the economy, empower hardworking Americans, and invest in national security and border integrity — delivering on promises that put American citizens first.

        Lower Taxes for Workers and Families

        At the heart of this landmark bill is an extension of President Trump’s historic 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. By preventing a looming 22% tax hike, this measure protects working families and preserves the economic momentum that has already lifted millions out of hardship.

        The bill includes powerful new deductions targeted directly at middle- and working-class Americans. Waitstaff and service workers will now be able to deduct taxes on up to $25,000 of their tipped wages — a major relief for everyday heroes in the hospitality sector. Additionally, up to $12,500 in overtime pay will be deductible, rewarding Americans who go the extra mile.

        Seniors, too, receive long-overdue recognition, with an additional $6,000 tax deduction to help them keep more of their hard-earned retirement savings. And for all Americans who rely on their vehicles to work and live, a new deduction for car loan interest will help ease the burden of rising costs.

        Relief for High-Tax States

        Responding to Republican leaders from high-cost states, the bill temporarily raises the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions to $40,000 for five years. This move is a win for taxpayers in places like New York and California who have long been punished by state-level tax-and-spend policies.

        This provision empowers conservative representatives from blue states to continue fighting for their constituents while advancing America First priorities.

        Restoring Responsibility to Medicaid

        True to conservative values, the bill restores accountability to Medicaid by introducing commonsense work requirements. Able-bodied adults without children, aged 18 to 64, will need to work at least 80 hours a month, pursue education, or participate in community service to continue receiving benefits.

        These reforms aim to encourage independence and self-reliance while protecting resources for the truly vulnerable.

        Acknowledging rural healthcare challenges, the bill doubles a critical stabilization fund to $50 billion, ensuring that rural hospitals stay open and continue serving their communities.

        Strengthening SNAP and Combating Dependency

        The bill also tightens rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), requiring work or community engagement for able-bodied adults without dependents. This move reflects a deeply held belief that government aid should be a temporary safety net, not a way of life, and encourages recipients to return to the workforce.

        Pilots Who Bombed Iran Will Come To White House On Fourth Of July

        True patriots…

        The pilots who flew into Iran on a mission to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities will join President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.

        The B-2 pilots will be in attendance on Friday at the White House Fourth of July celebrations, two White House officials shared with The Daily Wire. The White House celebration will also include a flyover by B-2 Spirit bombers, the jets that conducted the strikes on Iran earlier this month in Operation Midnight Hammer, according to CBS.

        White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a statement that the president “looks forward to celebrating our nation’s founding on Friday in the nation’s capital.”

        “To join in the celebration, the might of America’s Air Force will conduct a flyover featuring our state-of-the-art F-22s, B-2s, and F-35s – the same air capabilities used for the decisive and successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities,” Leavitt added.

        Trump is expected to speak at the event, and additional personnel from the base where the bombers were based (Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri) will attend.

        During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo discussed the “courageous” pilots with Trump, and asked the president if he planned to honor them.

        “Yes, they’re going to come to the White House,” Trump said. “But what you said is right. These people flew 36 hours in a small space, a big plane, but a small spaces mostly occupied by bombs, and they flew so brilliantly.”

        “They hit a target the size of this circle … a little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door from 50,000 feet up in the air,” he added. “Going at a rapid speed, because they’re going very fast when they’re over a pretty rough territory. And they hit it every single time. And then they knocked out two other sites aside from that.”

        Supreme Court Declines to Revive Texas Student’s MAGA Suit

          The Supreme Court rejected a request to revive a Texas student’s lawsuit claiming he was bullied for supporting President Trump and for being white. 

          Brooks Warden, called B.W. in the initial suit because it was filed when he was a minor, claimed that a “years-long campaign of bullying and harassment” ensued after he wore a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat on a school field trip.

          He said he was made a target because of his race and political views, as a white male whose former school district is predominantly Hispanic.

          “When his teachers and classmates at his predominantly Hispanic school found out that he was not only a white male but also a Trump supporter, it was open season,” the petition reads.  

          He had asked the justices to let his 2020 lawsuit against Austin Independent School District, which he claimed failed to stop the alleged abuse, move forward after a divided federal appeals court affirmed a lower court’s ruling throwing out the suit.

          The question at hand was whether racial harassment lawsuits can be filed even when the “primary impetus” for the harassment was the challenger’s political views.

          After a federal judge dismissed the case, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that decision. However, after the full 5th Circuit court heard Warden’s case, it split 9-9 over whether to revive the lawsuit. As a result, the dismissal was affirmed. 

          In a fiery dissent, 5th Circuit Judge James Ho wrote that “being white was absolutely one” of the reasons that Warden was bullied.  

          “It’s racist to characterize whites as racist,” Ho wrote. “Because it’s racist to attach any negative trait to a group of people based on their race.” 

          The Austin school district wrote in its opposition to the petition that it “does not condone harassment or bullying of any kind” and regrets Brooks’s experience — but rejected the student’s claims as political bluster.

          Donald Trump’s Fourth of July Celebrations: A True Display of American Patriotism

            For many Americans, the Fourth of July is more than just fireworks and barbecues — it’s a powerful reminder of our nation’s founding ideals: freedom, independence, and patriotism. Few leaders have embraced this spirit more enthusiastically than President Donald J. Trump. Throughout his presidency, Trump made Independence Day a bold celebration of American greatness, honoring our military, our history, and our unyielding national pride.

            A Salute to America: An Unprecedented Celebration

            In 2019, President Trump launched what he called the “Salute to America,” a spectacular Independence Day event held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. This historic celebration featured military flyovers, displays of armored vehicles, and an inspiring speech from the Lincoln Memorial.

            Trump’s address focused on America’s strength and exceptionalism, praising the armed forces and American pioneers who built the greatest nation on Earth. He declared, “We are one people chasing one dream and one magnificent destiny.”

            Despite critics labeling it “too militaristic,” the event was widely applauded by patriotic Americans who welcomed a president who put national pride front and center.

            Honoring Our Heroes

            A central theme of Trump’s Fourth of July celebrations was always the respect and honor given to the military and first responders. The inclusion of all branches of the military in his 2019 speech — including Air Force fighter jets soaring above the National Mall — showcased his deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by those in uniform.

            Veterans and active-duty service members were recognized and celebrated, underlining Trump’s belief in “peace through strength,” a foundational Republican principle.

            Carrying the Spirit Beyond the White House

            Even after leaving office, Trump continued to celebrate Independence Day with the same energy, often holding large rallies and events that feature patriotic music, American flags, and fiery speeches about reclaiming America’s greatness.

            In 2021 and 2022, he hosted gatherings that kept the spirit of “Salute to America” alive, reminding supporters that patriotism never goes out of style — and that the fight to “Make America Great Again” is far from over.

            President Trump’s Fourth of July celebrations were a breath of fresh air for Americans who cherish faith, freedom, and the flag. By turning Independence Day into a showcase of military might and national pride, he reaffirmed the importance of remembering who we are and what we stand for.

            As we head into this year’s Fourth of July, let’s carry forward that same spirit of unity and patriotism that President Trump so powerfully championed.

            Lara Trump Considers Senate Bid in North Carolina to Replace Thom Tillis

              President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump is reportedly considering a potential Senate bid in North Carolina after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced he would not seek reelection.

              A source confirmed to The Hill that Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, the president’s third child, was weighing her options in the wake of Tillis’s announcement Sunday. NOTUS first reported she was “seriously considering” a bid.

              Lara Trump is a North Carolina native who graduated from N.C. State University.

              She was previously floated as a potential Senate candidate when former Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) retired in 2023. However, she opted not to launch a campaign for the seat, leaving the door open to a future run for office.

              Lara Trump served as a co-chair of the RNC during the 2024 campaign, with a focus on fundraising efforts. She stepped down from that position and earlier this year began hosting a weekend show on Fox News.

              The North Carolina Senate seat is widely considered one of the toughest for the GOP to defend next year.

              Other names being circulated among Republicans as potential Senate candidates include Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), an Army veteran and first-term member of Congress, and Michael Whatley, who is chair of the RNC and previously led the North Carolina GOP.

              Steve Bannon Calls for Investigation Into Fox News Over ‘Israel First’ Coverage

                During an interview with Bannon on One America News’ The Matt Gaetz Show, former congressman Matt Gaetz asked Bannon about his recent criticism of Fox News host Mark Levin and the network in general.

                “You have said that Fox News may be acting at the behest of a foreign government,” noted Gaetz. “I don’t suppose you’re suggesting it’s Australia, so for my audience, will you just connect the dots how you believe Fox News is acting at the behest of a foreign government?”

                Bannon responded, “Fox News has just been a cheerleader – just like they were cheerleaders for the Iraq War and for the extension in Afghanistan. It’s the Iraq War playbook. They had Ukraine, but as you know, through your good offices and others, we shut down the Ukraine nonsense, at least to the degree it could be shut down.”

                “And now they are very focused on Israel and an Israel-Persian or Israel-Iran war,” he continued:

                It’s at the behest of the Israel First crowd, and [Mark] Levin’s the worst but by far not the only at Fox News. They never put on a counter argument. I just think there ought to be an investigation. Are they dealing directly with foreign intelligence services? Are they dealing with foreign political parties? Where are they getting their talking points? How much communication– I mean, the American people should be able to know this because it’s so over the top, and any time you mention any criticism they lose it, like Levin. I mean, look, we don’t get into throwing our toys out of the pram, we’re just saying, hey, Tel Aviv Levin and these guys have lost. The president couldn’t be clearer. The 12-Day War is over, he obliterated the nuclear– both the scientific capability and the industrial production, which is actually harder. It’s over and it’s time to pivot into focusing on more important things. I might note, Matt, as I was doing the show this morning, to show how relentless they are, they had a breaking news that Pakistan is now– they believe, the intelligence service believes Pakistan is working on an ICBM that can have intercontinental–

                As Gaetz laughed, Bannon continued, “I’m not even kidding. You can’t make it up, right? As soon as Trump shuts down the window on one, they say they may have an ICBM capability for the United States because you always know Israel’s next target was always Pakistan. So it’s just ludicrous now.”

                Last week, Bannon called specifically for an investigation into Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Kayleigh McEnany, and Levin.

                Supreme Court Allows Trump To Partially Enforce Birthright Citizenship Order

                  Just in…

                  The Supreme Court granted a partial stay Friday of President Donald Trump’s request to block lower courts from issuing universal injunctions, granting a par victory for the administration as it looks to execute many of its top priorities via executive order and action. 

                  In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines allowed President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country, for now, by curtailing judges’ ability to block the president’s policies nationwide. 

                  Ruling that three federal district judges went too far in issuing nationwide injunctions against Trump’s order, the high court’s decision claws back a key tool that plaintiffs have used to hamper the president’s agenda in dozens of lawsuits. 

                  But it does not yet definitively resolve whether Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship are constitutional, a hefty legal question that could ultimately return to the justices. 

                  “The applications do not raise—and thus we do not address—the question whether the Executive Order violates the Citizenship Clause or Nationality Act,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, writing for the majority. “The issue before us is one of remedy: whether, under the Judiciary Act of 1789, federal courts have equitable authority to issue universal injunctions.”

                  “A universal injunction can be justified only as an exercise of equitable authority, yet Congress has granted federal courts no such power,” she added.

                  Usha Vance Addresses Possibility Of Becoming First Lady In 2028

                  By Office of Vice President of the United States - @VP on X, Public Domain,

                  Second Lady Usha Vance is taking it day by day.

                  During a recent interview, the second lady responded to speculation her husband, JD Vance, is angling to be the next Republican presidential nominee.

                  “People do ask about it,” Usha Vance told Meghan McCain on her podcast “Citizen McCain.”

                  While she acknowledged the possibility of her husband, Vice President JD Vance, running for president, Usha Vance emphasized that she moved into the Washington area with “no intention whatsoever” of considering his political future. However, she pointed out that she also had no intention of being involved in politics four years ago.

                  For now, Usha Vance said she is focused on the present, though she did not completely dismiss the idea.

                  “My attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, to obviously the country and that’s really what I’m focused on,” Usha Vance said. “I’m not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this.”

                  She continued, “In a dream world, eventually I’ll be able to live in my home and kind of continue my career and all those sorts of things. And if that happens in four years, I understand. If that happens in some other point in the future, I understand. Just sort of along for the ride and enjoying it while I can.”

                  As vice president, Vance is considered the political frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for president in 2028.

                  “I really am just not focused on politics. I’m not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I’ll talk to the president. We’ll figure out what we want to do,” Vance told Lawrence Jones in a “Fox & Friends” exclusive interview in April.

                  In March, Tucker Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, forecasted that Vice President JD Vance will emerge as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2028. Carlson’s statement, made on the “VINCE” podcast, sheds light on the increasing influence of Vance within the party and the likelihood of him becoming the successor to Donald Trump’s political legacy.

                  Despite Donald Trump declining to endorse Vance during a February Fox News interview, where he stated there were “a lot of very capable people” in the Republican Party, Carlson is optimistic that the former president will ultimately support the vice president in 2028. Trump’s comment, which may have seemed like a rejection to some, was interpreted by Carlson as a temporary stance, not a definitive end to any future support.

                  “I think people want to leave a legacy, all of us do, and great men especially do. And the only person in the entire Republican Party from my position who’s capable of carrying on the Trump legacy and expanding it, making it what it should fully be, is JD Vance,” Carlson explained. He also praised Vance’s loyalty to Trump and his profound service, indicating that Trump’s current withholding of endorsement may have been a strategic decision.
