When Seattle was announced as one of the many host cities for the 2026 World Cup, it was inevitable that the city and its leaders would use it as an opportunity to remind the world that it is one of the most liberal, woke places in North America.
And that's exactly what it's planning to do when Group Stage matches make their way to Seattle in June, which just so happens to also be Pride Month. The World Cup draw, though, has created a rather complicated situation for the city.
Seattle intends to kick off Pride weekend with a ‘Pride Match’ at Lumen Field on June 26 featuring Egypt and Iran, two countries with very strong anti-LBGTQ laws. How strong? Egypt criminalizes gay relationships while capital punishment is the maximum penalty under Iranian law. So much pride!
This presents what could be a bizarre setting in Seattle, with fans celebrating Pride both inside and outside the stadium, but the players on the field representing homelands that do not stand for any of it. You can not come up with a more contrasting situation.

President Donald Trump has announced more details concerning the UFC event at the White House that will take place in 2026 in celebration of America's 250th anniversary event. The president said that eight or nine championship fights will be taking place, and that UFC CEO Dana White will be building up an arena to hold around 6,000 seats.
When asked about the event while he was at the Kennedy Center about the event, Trump said, “They’re building an arena, the great Dana White is building an arena. They are going to have eight or nine championship fights. It’s the biggest fights they’ve ever had; every fight is a championship fight.”
Trump also added that the UFC is holdling off on fights so that they can take place at the America 250 event. “He’s actually holding back fights right now for six months, so he can do them on the 250th anniversary," Trump added.
“I think 250 is going to be amazing. I think the arena is going to be five or six thousand seats right in front of the door of the White House," the president added. The same day the event is slated to take place, Trump will be turning 80 years old, and he has said the White House fight night will be bigger than any other UFC event in history.
"I don’t think there’ll be anything like it," he added. "It’ll be on Sunday night, June 14, [on] Flag Day. It happens to be my birthday, but I didn’t do it for that reason. ‘Sir, we like the June 14 date.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s my birthday.’ They didn’t know it. But they picked it. I’ll take a little heat on that, but it’s not that."

#news Sen. Rand Paul implicated as one of the politicians that has been taking millions from the Maduro regime, according to a high ranking government source.
Kentucky Senator Paul has been named as a central figure on a reported "Venezuela List" of U.S. politicians allegedly receiving multimillion-dollar payments from Nicolás Maduro’s regime and narcotrafficking networks, according to a high-ranking Venezuelan government defector cited in intelligence circles.
The source alleges that Paul has accepted bribes in exchange for political actions meant to undermine President Trump’s military and diplomatic campaign against the Maduro government, including his recent efforts to block funding and claims that Trump is committing “war crimes” in the Caribbean.
The Venezuelan source says:
🟧Paul received seven-figure payments funneled through intermediaries tied to the Cartel de los Soles, the Venezuelan military-led drug trafficking organization indicted by the U.S. DOJ in 2020.
🟧These payments allegedly started years ago and intensified as Trump’s second administration launched aggressive counter-narcotics operations this year, including lethal strikes on drug-smuggling vessels.
🟧Pau has publicly opposed the operations—particularly in his December 3 sponsorship of a War Powers Resolution.
🟧He has repeatedly accused Secretary Pete Hegseth of authorizing potential war crimes.
The source described Paul's move as a deliberate effort to protect Maduro-linked trafficking routes that pour drugs into the US.
🟧Drug overdoses in the US are more than 120,000 in the most recent 12-month reporting period, with Venezuelan transit routes identified by the DEA as a primary way that fentanyl enters the United States via Mexico.

(LifeSiteNews) — Today on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, President Donald Trump released a remarkable, unprecedented official White House statement honoring “the faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus” and her “freedom from original sin as the mother of God.”
The president concludes his statement with the Hail Mary prayer.
Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Today, I recognize every American celebrating December 8 as a Holy Day honoring the faith, humility, and love of Mary, mother of Jesus and one of the greatest figures in the Bible.
On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Catholics celebrate what they believe to be Mary’s freedom from original sin as the mother of God. She first entered recorded history as a young woman when, according to Holy Scripture, the Angel Gabriel greeted her in the village of Nazareth with news of a miracle: “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you,” announcing that “you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.”
In one of the most profound and consequential acts of history, Mary heroically accepted God’s will with trust and humility: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Mary’s decision forever altered the course of humanity. Nine months later, God became man when Mary gave birth to a son, Jesus, who would go on to offer his life on the Cross for the redemption of sins and the salvation of the world.
For nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story. In 1792, less than a decade after the end of the Revolutionary War, Bishop John Carroll—the first Catholic bishop in the United States and cousin of signer of the Declaration of Independence Charles Carroll—consecrated our young Nation to the mother of Christ. Less than a quarter-century later, Catholics attributed General Andrew Jackson’s stunning victory over the British in the climactic Battle of New Orleans to Mary. Every year, Catholics celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving in New Orleans on January 8 in memory of Mary’s assistance in saving the city.
Over the ages, American legends like Elizabeth Ann Seton, Frances Xavier Cabrini, and Fulton Sheen, who spent their lives glorifying God in service to others, have held a deep devotion to Mary. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, located in the heart of our Nation’s Capital, honors Mary as the largest church in North America. The timeless hymn “Ave Maria” remains beloved by countless citizens. She has inspired the establishment of countless churches, hospitals, and schools. Nearly 50 American colleges and universities bear Mary’s name. And, just days from now, on December 12, Catholics in the United States and Mexico will celebrate the steadfast devotion to Mary that originated in the heart of Mexico—a place now home to the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe—in 1531. As we approach 250 years of glorious American Independence, we acknowledge and give thanks, with total gratitude, for Mary’s role in advancing peace, hope, and love in America and beyond our shores.
More than a century ago, in the midst of World War I, Pope Benedict XV, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, commissioned and dedicated a majestic statue of Mary, Queen of Peace, bearing the infant Christ with an olive branch so that the Christian faithful would be encouraged to look to her example of peace by praying for a stop to the horrific slaughter. Just a few months later, World War I ended. Today, we look to Mary once again for inspiration and encouragement as we pray for an end to war and for a new and lasting era of peace, prosperity, and harmony in Europe and throughout the world.
In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need:
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
