The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Because nothing celebrates America as a shining example of human rights and rule of law more than people beating the crap out of each other to kick off our multi-week 250th birthday extravaganza.

Construction begins on UFC Freedom 250 'Claw' stage at White House

With the UFC cage match at the White House less than three weeks away, construction for the ambitious mixed martial arts event officially started Monday.

Workers began assembling what appeared to be a lighting structure for the temporary "claw" stage under construction in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Numerous social media posts in Washington, D.C., highlighted photos of the project throughout the day.

The claw arena will eventually be set up on the White House South Lawn. The event is set to take place June 14, which is not only Flag Day but also President Donald Trump's 80th birthday.

For his birthday last year, Trump hosted a military parade to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. And with the UFC fight this year, he is not backing down on extravagance.

The event is set to host 5,000 attendees around the arena. Seats are reserved for military members and guests invited by the UFC and the White House. Though tickets will not be for sale, up to 100,000 people can watch on large screens at the nearby Ellipse.

The fight is part of America 250 celebrations this summer, leading up to the semiquincentennial on July 4 and, as such, will have increased security on par with the Super Bowl.
