Dana White Hits Back at Reporter Trying to Bait Him on Question About Trump and UFC Freedom 250 at the White House (VIDEO)
April 12, 2026
UFC President Dana White held a press conference on Saturday night after the conclusion of UFC 327.
Dana White is known for his no-nonsense press conferences.
He never holds back.
A reporter tried to bait Dana White on a question about the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House in June.
UFC Freedom 250 will be hosted on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 to celebrate 250 years of the US.
“Be Part of History UFC Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation tribute to the American fighting spirit,” the UFC said.
“From the Revolution to the Octagon, this unforgettable event will unite generations through powerful storytelling and elite competition on the world’s greatest proving ground,” the UFC said.
A reporter tried to politicize the UFC event.
“Was there ever hesitancy or consideration of perhaps having an event at the White House and maybe a part of a fan base that does not lean into those politics with the [Trump] administration?” a reporter asked Dana White.
“I don’t think like that,” Dana White said.
Dana White called Trump a good friend and praised him for being a fan of the sport.

Last week, UFC President Dana White hinted that President Trump would be attending Saturday night’s fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
“It’s good to be back in Miami. Yeah, I’m pumped. We got the big guy coming on Saturday, too. He’s coming,” Dana White said to Adin Ross.
The president is a great friend of Dana White and has attended numerous UFC fights over the years.
President Trump and Dana White made a grand entrance at the Kaseya Center later Saturday evening.

Illinois Town Unveils New Sign Desginating It ‘Little Palestine’
April 12, 2026

In Bridgeview, Illinois, about 15 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, a special ceremony was held on Tuesday to unveil a new sign recognizing the area as ‘Little Palestine.’
The area has one of the largest Palestinian populations in the country.
During April, designated as Arab American Heritage Month, the Arab-American Business and Professional Association (ABPA) led efforts to make the name more visible. The signs cover a stretch of Harlem Avenue roughly from 79th to 113th Street.
Illinois state resolutions (including HJR46 for “Little Palestine Way” and others) and Cook County actions proclaimed April 7 as “Little Palestine Day” and recognized the area’s contributions.
ABPA’s “Little Palestine Project” aims to promote tourism, verify and highlight Arab-owned businesses, and position the area as an economic and cultural destination.
This is not a full renaming of Bridgeview, but an ‘honorary’ cultural/business district designation on a specific commercial corridor.
Patch reports that the legislation was passed in November 2025:
Legislation to designate a section of Harlem Avenue as “Little Palestine Way” passed the Illinois House last week, 76 to 33, honoring the economic and cultural contributions of Palestinian-Americans. The resolution now sits in the Illinois Senate, that is expected to vote on the measure as early as January.
HJR 0046 designates Harlem Avenue, from 79th Street to 111th Street, as “Little Palestine Way,” in honor of the countless contributions of the Palestinian-American community, that passes through the towns of Bridgeview, Burbank, Chicago Ridge, Palos Hills and Worth. The resolution was spearheaded by community leaders Sonia Khalil, Amani Siam and Dr. Sabha Abour, along with Rep. Lisa Davis (32nd District).
“My father, Samir Khalil, always believed that politics should serve the people, not divide them,” Khalil said. “Together with Miriam Zayed, they built the first Arab-American political organization to give our community a voice. That work taught me how important it is to build genuine relationships with leaders and neighbors alike. That’s how real change happens when leaders across the state support Little Palestinian Way.”
Watch:
From this day forward, you can no longer call it Bridgeview, Illinois. It is officially Little Palestine in the community’s eyes.

President Trump Confirms He’s Going FULL VENEZUELA on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran: “All in and All Out”

President Donald Trump just dropped the hammer on the Iranian terror regime, and he’s doing it the exact same way he crushed Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship.
During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this morning, President Trump confirmed the United States is launching a complete and total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Bartiromo asked the President point-blank about the developing operation:
“Mr. President, you’re saying that we will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz. And at some point, we will reach an all being allowed to go in and all being allowed to go out basis. So tell us what you’re trying to accomplish with this blockade, sir.”
Trump made it crystal clear, it’s ALL IN and ALL OUT or nothing at all.
Pres. Trump: All out—yep. It’s called “all in and all out.” There’ll be a time when we’ll have them all come in and all come out, but it won’t be a percentage. It won’t be a friend of yours, like a country that’s your ally or a country that’s your friend. It’s all or nothing. And that’ll be—that won’t be in too long a distance.
No, we’re just bringing the ships up. We got a lot of ships, so we’re bringing them up. We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this also, but we’re putting on a complete blockade.
We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don’t like, or whatever it is. It’s going to be all or none, and that’s the way it is.
And it’ll be—you saw what we did with Venezuela. It’ll be something very similar to that, but at a higher level.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, President Trump has already ordered the U.S. Navy to BLOCK any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz effective immediately after Iran defied his nuclear demands and continued its terrorist extortion racket.
Artemis II Crew Return to NASA’s Johnson Space Center as Conquering Heroes – Expectations Surge for 2028 Mission To Send Astronauts Walking on the Moon

What a difference ten days make.
After the historic space mission orbiting around the moon, and the ‘textbook’ splashdown off the coast of San Diego, the Artemis II astronauts were welcomed as heroes in Houston.
Let’s run that back. One more time… Or two?
Our crew is now safely back on Earth. Relive the historic mission, and keep an eye on our website as more images and videos keep rolling in. https://t.co/FoYXKVvve5pic.twitter.com/svDaL8ZXpc
“On Saturday, the Artemis II crew returned to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in celebration of their historic 10-day moon mission and a successfully splashdown back to Earth off the coast of California on Friday.
The astronauts’ mission produced stunning views of the dark side of the moon, and the naming of two new areas on the moon — one after the capsule Integrity, and the other named in memory of Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife.”
“It’s a special thing to be a human and it’s a special thing to be on planet Earth.”
Mission Specialist Christina Koch shared the moment when the Moon mission felt completed.
“’Ten days ago, this journey started with our mission manager Sean Duvall knocking on my door in crew quarters ‘Christina, we’re go for launch. Get up!’, she said to adoring fans at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. ‘And it ended last night when my nurse on the ship put me to bed and said, ‘Ma’am, can I get a hug?’’ Koch revealed to applause.”
“Planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew.”
