Weather report: 100-degree heat, multiple T-storms at UFC White House

... As of Saturday morning, it looks like the weather might present some issues for Sunday’s Freedom 250 card. Per the National Weather Service, Washington D.C. is expected to offer up a high of 91 degrees on Sunday with humidity making it feel like 100 degrees. In addition, UFC officials might have to battle the rain once more as thunderstorms are expected in the early afternoon, between 4-5 p.m. ET, the early evening, and then once again before midnight. Total chance of precipitation in the afternoon is 60% with that decreasing to 40% in the evening. Not to mention winds that can reach up to 22 mph ...

1. UFC fight lights are blinding DC pilots
Sat Jun 13, 2026, 06:24 PM
Jun 13

A commercial airline pilot has filed official safety complaints after powerful event lighting on the White House grounds allegedly blinded flight crews during a nighttime approach into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The pilot, who spoke to MeidasTouch on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, reported that intense white lighting from the construction and testing of a UFC octagon on the South Lawn shone directly into their cockpit ...

to being real anymore. The plot just sickens and sickens. Headlines come from a dictionary being tossed into a wood chipper, and the country swirls around the drain while a well aware world watches and takes notes.

will be slim. The earlier rain might cool down the temperature and reduce the humidity in the air

But the bugs will still be out, hanging around the lights.

6. 'No Kings' and a concert
Sat Jun 13, 2026, 06:34 PM
Jun 13

... a concert celebrating the rights granted by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution will kick off in New York City. The Rise Up: Sing Out event starts at 7:30 p.m. ET at The Town Hall.

The Rise Up: Sing Out event will feature appearances and performances from a list of major stars, including Bette Midler, Julia Roberts, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright. It's being planned by the Committee for the First Amendment, a group that was founded in 1947 to protest the government's investigations into alleged Communist activities in Hollywood at the time ...

Just like they did last year, organizers with the "No Kings" movement are planning nationwide events in opposition to the Trump administration on the president's birthday. But this year's events will be very different from the mass protests that filled the streets in hundreds of cities across the country — or the two similar national days of protest that have been held since then.

This year, organizers are using the Rise Up: Sing Out concert as an "anchor" for local events centered around celebrating community, rather than protesting the president ...

That ugly ass thunder dome is now the highest point in the area, it has metal in its
structure, those garish ass lights are connected with wires, with the rain and the high
humidity lighting will have multiple routes to spread out their electrons. And just say there
is a micro burst of winds from the storm(s) that hit the thunder dome it could be ripped
to shreds.

If it is looking bad the SECRET SERVICE will stop the hillbilly 250 blood fest.

BTW Donald Trump has absolutely no taste or class, he is a psychopath, and he has
progressive dementia….. it is time to release the Epstein files and put an end to to this
SHIT SHOW.
