Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
🚨 In a now-deleted post, Daniel Cormier exposed Eric Trump for asking him if any of the UFC White House fights were rigged:
"I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for bringing this to light, however I refuse to stay silent... Shame on anyone trying to ruin this beautiful event."
I'm crashing out so hard today. I am tired of escort culture becoming mainstream. I'm tired of onlyfans I'm tired of escorts on Instagram I'm tired of trad wife hooker aesthetics I'm tired of the horrors of dating apps and fly me out apps the horrors of men following escorts on Instagram through my youth I'm tired of people referring to women here as e girls or posting photos to brag about how many girls they've been with I'm tired of how transactional dating has become I'm tired of dating apps. What happened to us? Most of us are normal people and we got swallowed into this horrible culture. im tired that normal people can't be normal I'm tired of the Tik Tok advice that teaches you to become a hooker and the manosphere that teaches men that their only value is money and to treat women like a game. When did we let this happen? What happened to our society? What ever happened to just being normal respectable guys and normal women!! When did we let the absolute deplorable low class people set social norms? This is worse than new money this is like... money from hell on steroids ... and everyone is adjusting to it. It has seeped through every part of society. It is worse than hell

Epstein strong connections to Israel. Sealed documents, redacted names. cameras stop working, cell mate transfered, falsified prison records.

Trump/government is compromised
I love this shit man. It’s crazy that there are objective quantities - irrespective of our math - inherent to the fabric of our universe. And we just happen to exist within the smorgasbord that is Life.
🚨: You’re closer in size to the entire observable universe than to the smallest possible scale of reality—the Planck length—by roughly 400 million times.
Let that sink in.
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
