Walking around the White House South Lawn these days, you notice a few things. There is the tiered platform with mics and music stands. There are the many folding seats, situated in a theater in the round, each stamped with: "WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT STAND ON CHAIR." There are the stairs branded with crypto.com. And then, above it all, there is "The Claw": the hulking, four-legged, makeshift canopy hovering 92 feet aloft, finished in red, white, and blue. There are selfies. The Trump administration on Thursday provided the press pool a preview of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Freedom 250 event that will take place on Sunday night, when an international cast will duke it out for various titles. There was no formal briefing. But the White House did set us loose to mill around for about half an hour and drink in the spectacle. Several minutes in, I passed attendees who had crowded around the centerpiece—the octagon—for self-portraits. One woman tried to mount the ring; the attempt, courtesy of an official standing nearby, was short-lived. Billy Binion UFC Freedom 250 has, depending on whom you ask, become the crown jewel of America's semiquincentennial. A series of cage matches is an unusual choice to celebrate the history of the Founding. But it is arguably the perfect event to capture this moment in history. The story of mixed martial arts is itself a microcosm of the progression. It would have been difficult to believe the sport would have a substantial audience just a few decades ago when it was banned in 36 states, as well as on pay-per-view, which swore off cage fighting while allowing porn. Yet now it will have an audience at the White House. Its inclusion is a snapshot not just of the sport's surprising trajectory but of how political sport has evolved in parallel. The influencer most known for spreading the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory is now a credentialed member of the White House press corps, taking selfies with a fighting arena on the South Lawn. It is no longer a place where outsiders are unwelcome by the establishment. It is a place where outsiders have become the establishment. This is not just a cultural phenomenon anymore.

This is part six of a series examining the challenges confronting the NATO alliance.Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO, with Berlin’s ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance’s military burden."Germany is stepping up — we heard the call!" German Ambassador to the United States Jens Hanefeld told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany’s armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin’s new military strategy.UK, GERMAN DEFENSE OFFICIALS DEFEND MILITARY BUILDUP UNDER RUSSIAN THREATS"Russia’s illegal war of aggression has shaken old certainties in Europe and Germany as the international rules we have relied on are being challenged," Hanefeld said. "This changes the strategic environment we operate in.""Today, Germany is Ukraine’s largest supporter," Hanefeld said in written answers. "Germany’s decision to become Europe’s strongest conventional army, well anchored in the NATO alliance, is an ongoing commitment."The shift marks a historic turn for a country whose postwar military identity was built around restraint. After World War II, West Germany was allowed to rearm only within a Western alliance framework, joining NATO in 1955 and building the Bundeswehr as a force embedded in collective defense rather than independent German power. For decades after reunification, Germany relied heavily on the U.S. security umbrella and often lagged behind NATO spending targets, feeding repeated American complaints that Europe’s largest economy was not pulling its weight.Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 forced Berlin to begin rethinking that posture. Then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the shift a "Zeitenwende," or turning point. Merz is now seeking to turn that phrase into a long-term military buildup.In Germany, Hanefeld said, the changes underway are often described as a "Zeitenwende," but he acknowledged that the transformation does not come easily given the country’s history.GERMAN DEFENSE MINISTER SAYS MILITARY DRAFT COULD RETURN IF VOLUNTEER NUMBERS FALL SHORTThe effort is unfolding against a backdrop of public friction between President Donald Trump and Merz, a dispute that a U.S. defense expert warned could complicate critical decisions on deterring Russia.The tension escalated after Merz criticized Washington’s handling of the Iran war, saying the United States was being "humiliated" by Iran’s leadership in negotiations and questioning the Trump administration’s exit strategy.
