Judge Delivers Knockout Blow to Lefty Boomer Who Sued to Stop UFC Fight at White House
Townhall ^ | 6/12/26 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 06/12/2026 1:36:20 PM PDT by CFW

There has been a ton of Trump-deranged nonsense on the legal front—this one might take the cake, though it never got off the ground for many reasons, not least because it’s soaked in lunacy. President Donald Trump is holding a UFC fight on the White House grounds for America 250, and this lefty boomer couldn’t stand it, citing aesthetic issues or whatever. The judge dismissed it, noting that a) it was late, and b) there’s no evidence showing how this event would harm the plaintiffs (via NYT):

[snip]

A federal judge on Friday declined to block the White House from holding cage fights on the South Lawn on President Trump’s birthday, just days before the Sunday event was set to take place.

Responding to a last-ditch emergency motion, Judge Amit P. Mehta wrote in a 15-page opinion that it was not clear that the two individuals who sued over the Ultimate Fighting Championship matches would be sufficiently harmed by the one-off event to give them legal standing to challenge it.

The two claimants had argued that the use of the White House and Lincoln Memorial as a backdrop for fights could provide an inappropriate financial benefit to the private company that arranged it. But Judge Mehta wrote that they failed to detail how their interests outweighed those of everyone involved in bringing the project to fruition.

The organizers, Judge Mehta wrote, “point to the near yearlong planning of the event; coordination with multiple government agencies, including the Secret Service; site work that began May 20 and has involved between 700 to 900 workers; multiple equipment deliveries; event ticketing logistics; and preparations of the contracted U.F.C. fighters.”

How about hitting them up with a frivolous lawsuit claim. Make them pay for the feds lawyers to deal w/this crap.

The spirit of Abraham Lincoln will be looking on, enjoying it.

Lincoln, an awesome physical specimen at 6-feet-4, was widely known for his wrestling skills and had only one recorded defeat in a dozen years.

Bastards love trannies showing off their fake boobs in front of kids, but can’t handle a UFC fight.

A 15 page opinion? What the F are these judges doing?? Some people with big brains have zero common sense. This could’ve been denied in three sentences

The headline and description makes the writer seem a little whacked himself.

Dork who filed the case is both a Boomer and a Leftist.
You got sudden issues with accuracy in journalism?

It’s the weekend. Go touch grass.

“Dork who filed the case is both a Boomer and a Leftist.“

I’m a Boomer and I’m so far Conservative, I’m sneaking up on the leftie MF’ers from behind

Teddy Roosevelt held boxing matches on the White House lawn, so there is strong historic precedent.

“”A 69-year-old retired bureaucrat from Alexandria, Virginia”

She COULD stay in VA and do her walking - who makes her take a bus or WALK into DC? THAT right there is just plain dumb especially with the poor thing’s arthritic problems..She could live just a skoch into VA but to get to DOWNTOWN DC is more than a couple of steps...

She doesn’t have to see ANYTHING that makes her uncomfortable. Don’t know what the other kook’s excuse is other than STUPIDITY also! Maybe a block of citizens should sue Susan (LOL) and her counterpart for taking a salary from the taxpayers for years and hating the country that provided that job and salary.

What I wanna see on the White House lawn is AOC and Crockett in a mud wrestling contest with Pocahantis refereeing it, while Linda Graham does an impersonation of Howard Cossell. I’d pay pay-per-view for that one. Joy Bayhar could be the lead cheerleader
