Not the Onion... Bizarre White House plan for July 4, 2026

What a vulgar, grotesque way to mark our nation's 250th birthday.

"Dana White, UFC chief and friend of Donald Trump, confirmed that the mixed martial arts giant is planning a fight on the White House lawn next July 4. Ivanka Trump has reappeared to help with the details.

"It is definitely going to happen,” White told CBS Mornings on Tuesday. He spoke with the president Monday night, he said, and plans to meet with Donald and Ivanka at the end of the month to finalize plans and review venue renderings.

"When he called me and asked me to do it, he said, ‘I want Ivanka in the middle of this,'” White said. “So Ivanka reached out to me, and … I started talking about the possibilities.” The event, which. regularly fills stadiums and arenas, would likely need to be scaled down.".. (more)

Nothing at all more symbolic of this White House than an MMA spectacle.

~~Whorehouse~~ hotel in DC, I went to the website and look at the pictures.

Ivanka was apparently in charge of the spa, and although the website did not disclose whether or not 15 year old girls were a feature of the spa, it was not what I would call understated.

So Ivanka is the perfect person to coordinate the tacky spectacle that will shame our country on its sestercenntenial.

Rumor has a that gift bags will feature barf bags depicting signers of the Declaration of Independence, who undoubtedly will be wishful for barf bags with 47’s likeness.
