Yes, this was definitely an attempt to belittle a majority of Americans who enjoy a type of entertainment different from what the class conscious snobs of DC enjoy. President Trump has an ability to bring people together who might never be together otherwise. It's one of the reasons why so many people love him. Thanks again for your perspective.

Luthmann and Muse … Amen fellas!!

For a decade, the American Left has celebrated the decline of traditional strength, replacing excellence with participation trophies, masculinity with performative activism, and national pride with endless grievance. The Obama-era vision of a softer, diminished America found expression in drag-show politics, campus encampments, corporate virtue-signaling, and the constant demand to lower standards. That is why America 250’s UFC event at the White House hit them like a dagger to the heart. It showcased confidence, competition, toughness, and unapologetic patriotism—the very qualities they spent years trying to marginalize. Nothing terrifies the architects of cultural decline more than Americans rediscovering strength.

What a beautiful night for America's 250th and this UFC supporter of 31 years. FK the lefties and their Pasha of true Americans.

It is always the same sad and sorry TDS song. The Deep State-media complex celebrates drag shows, corporate Pride rituals, campus tent cities, celebrity galas, and every anti-American lecture dressed up as art. But let Trump host UFC for America’s 250th birthday, and suddenly these people rediscover sacred dignity. Please. They were not defending the White House. They were defending their monopoly over taste, status, and national symbolism. Trump’s great offense was cultural trespass. He let the country class, fight fans, working men, patriots, and flag-wavers set the tone. The cage came down. Their contempt stays up.

The fact of the matter is simply the democrats hate America and will do everything in their agenda to not celebrates America's 250th Anniversary. It really is sad because we should have started seeing America Flags and banners in every state as if January 1st. Not to mention we are less then a month away and you would never know the significance of this years Independence Day 🇺🇸

At some point every American needs to understand who they are rooting for. This is not R vs D. This is about the United States of America.

You are either an American Patriot or Not!

The feeling I'm getting from what Trump is doing is very reminiscent of the feeling in this country back during the short time JFK was POTUS. As a nation, we were remarkably upbeat, confident, and internationalist. Then the Deep State shot JFK and things started on that downward spiral...until now.

Irredeemable Never Trumper Bill Kristol has been posting about the indignity of it all. I agree with your conclusion it is the unwashed masses these “elites” can’t stand and don’t want to exist.

Many of the followers of these “elites” are equally uncouth, but still acceptable. So I think there’s another thing at work. For some, it’s straight up TDS. For many of the non-elites who are acceptable to the elites, you could say “Trump did” or “Trump said ____” and they would hate it before you filled in the blank. They’re sheep.

But for the elites, I tend to think most of their hate is animated by the feeling of lightness in their pocketbooks. Many of these “elites” are quasi-government in that they are part of the grants and grifters culture. Their think tank was funded by USAID and now it isn’t. Their media platform received grants from NDI or IRI or The Ford Foundation and now they don’t. Their wife, kid, brother, etc. got a federal job that Trump cut. I tend to think they act out their hatred because they feel the Trump Effect personally and they’re terrified the grift pipeline will never return to its former easy pickins.

I responded to Kristol on X that I was appalled, just appalled, that a UFC event desiccated the hallowed ground where only 2 short years ago, Easter was cancelled so we could watch the naked, bouncing boobs of men who had surgically transitioned to women instead of watching children hunting Easter eggs.

I assure you Bill Kristol does not consider the men with boob jobs his elite, dignified peers. Despite his dignified standards and his “conservative” moniker, he was somehow not offended by the indignity of their bouncing bare breasts on the WH lawn on the second most sacred day of the Christian calendar. In other words, their classist indignation is as genuine as the bouncing breasts on a “trans-woman” put on display by Joe Biden.

This is perfectly said. Some joker on Facebook kept complaining the turf at the WH would be destroyed. Yeah, the same President who's washed away all the graffiti, power washed every marble and granite statue till they gleamed, and filled and restated every fountain in DC, all surrounded by fresh turf, will totally leave the grass at the WH torn up. Good grief. 🙄

Pres. Teddy Roosevelt hosted boxing matches at the White House. He often sparred with aides in a gym he had set up in the White House. It was a practice to stay physically fit he had enjoyed at the Governor's mansion in NY (when he was the Governor).

"They hated the spectacle of a president presiding over a loud, physical, unapologetically American evening that looked nothing like the curated solemnity they believe should govern Washington. One historian sniffed that the event projected weakness and buffoonery. "

All of which was refuted by the AI produced video showcasing the historical fact that Teddy Roosevelt held boxing matches (and participated as a fighter) in the White House.

Well-reasoned and said.

It is becoming easier and easier to hate the elitists. The thought of ever having to engage with any of them is repugnant to me.

The media and the Dems have no right to claim dignity when Biden had pride flags draped on the White House and trans running topless on Easter calling it National Trans Day. Dems and their elite supporters show us every day their contempt for Trump and his supporters (71+million). Frankly, we don’t care anymore and are sick of their divisiveness and hypocrisy. Their labels thrown at us are ignored. They are the party of hate, including their contempt for our nation, and we need to make sure they are never in power again.

How about when Obama lit up the White House like a pride flag? And wasn't it amazing they they were able to accomplish it within about five hours after the Supreme Court voted? It's like they knew what the outcome of the vote was going to be.

Seems like we are at the Bread and Circuses stage.

Thune would never have thought of something like this, and there's the tale.

Well said. Thank you for your observations.
