RADIOACTIVE MASCULINITY: Imagine giving access to the biggest stage in the world, to a violent sexual predator. And no, I’m not talking about 47, I’m talking about UFC fighter Conor McGregor.
Of all the Irish people on earth, Donald Trump chose to host McGregor for St Patrick’s Day. Trump likes to surround himself with tough guys, ‘real men’, fighters and womanizers. UFC President Dana White was filmed slapping his wife on a drunken night out. Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist.
Andrew Tate boasts about hurting women and using them to make tons of cash. Russel Brand has been accused of multiple rapes, and then suddenly converted to Christianity and moved to Florida. Former boxing world champion Tyson Fury is an outspoken homophobe and Bible-basher.
Jeffrey Epstein was a deranged sexual predator. Even Steve Bannon publicly reminded Ivanka Trump that her father and Epstein have been accused of raping a 13 year old child. Bannon is not left leaning, yet he said what many others are too scared to say.
What do all of them have in common, they are MAGA loyalists, in other words, they have nothing to fear. Daddy will protect them.
They are not real men. They project strength, but are weak and insecure. Taking from others is not strength, it is cowardice. The biggest problem in today’s society is that young men are being conditioned to resist the changes that are necessary for them to truly evolve as human beings. Instead of listening to what women have to say, they are being instructed to ignore, dominate, and control them. Basically men are being told to double down on their toxic behavior and discard all the woke bs about respecting women.
I would love to say the emergence of Dominion Theology has nothing to do with it, but I’d be lying. The Bible set the tone of the story right at the start when they framed Eve for introducing sin into the world. On the one hand they are all moralistic about what women can wear and so forth, yet they lust after women to such an extent that they violently assault them. The church itself protects pedophile priests at the expense of the community they purport to serve.
THUG LIFE: Conor McGregor has launched an attack on an ‘illegal immigration racket ravaging’ Ireland in a rant at the White House before meeting US President Donald Trump.
The Irish mixed martial arts fighter visited Trump in Washington today, telling reporters in the West Wing that he would voice concerns about immigration issues in Ireland when speaking to Trump.
In a press conference prior to the meeting, McGregor claimed Ireland was close to ‘potentially losing its Irishness’ due to an ‘illegal immigration racket is ravaging our country’.
McGregor said he was at the White House ‘to raise the issues the people of Ireland face’ as ‘what is going on in Ireland is a travesty’.
The US is home to millions of descendants of Irish immigrants who fled poverty for the ‘American dream’ and a better life across the pond, with McGregor addressing some of his remarks to them.
‘The 40 million Irish Americans need to hear this. Because if not, there will be no place to come home and visit,’ McGregor, former lightweight and featherweight Ultimate Fighting champ, said.
McGregor is meeting with President Trump at the White House on St. Patrick’s Day and the Trump fan made a surprise trip to the White House podium on Monday.
McGregor’s visit to the White House came months after he was found civilly liable in a High Court damages case in Dublin taken by a woman who accused him of rape.
Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ni Laimhin, won her claim against McGregor after accusing the professional fighter of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
Ms Hand, 35, was awarded damages and costs after a three-week trial last year in which the jury found him civilly liable for assault.
A judge at the High Court in Dublin later said the jury had ‘conclusively determined’ that McGregor had raped Ms Hand. McGregor is appealing against the outcome of the civil case.
Tanaiste Mr Harris said in his statement following McGregor’s White House visit: ‘I’ve spoken to Nikita Hand. I admire her bravery, her courage, and I’d much rather be talking about Nikita Hand than Conor McGregor, quite frankly.’
Furthermore, McGregor and the NBA’s Miami Heat are currently facing a federal lawsuit over claims the MMA legend sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center while security stood guard outside the stall. – BBC News NI
BEYOND THE PALE: Irish political leaders have said Conor McGregor does not speak for Ireland after he visited the White House for a St Patrick’s Day meeting with US President Donald Trump. Earlier, McGregor told reporters that he was going to voice concerns about immigration issues in Ireland when he spoke to the president.
Last week, during a meeting at the White House with Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin, the US president praised McGregor’s tattoos.
The fighter also attended President Trump’s inauguration in January.
Earlier on Monday, McGregor appeared at the White House press briefing room lectern with press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who confirmed the meeting was scheduled for later in the day.
Ms Leavitt said she “couldn’t think of a better guest to have with us on St Patrick’s Day”.
The fighter said he planned to “raise the issues the people of Ireland face”.
He accused the Irish government of “abandoning” the voices of the people of Ireland as he criticised immigration policies.
“What is going on in Ireland is a travesty,” he said.
“Our money is being spent on overseas issues that is nothing to do with the Irish people,” he added.
McGregor ‘doesn’t speak for Ireland’
Tánaiste (Irish deputy prime minister) Simon Harris said the MMA fighter has visited Washington DC in a “personal capacity” and that he is not representing the country.
“He doesn’t speak for Ireland. He doesn’t speak for the people of Ireland. He has no mandate to do such,” Harris said to reporters in New York.
He said the president is “perfectly entitled” to invite whoever he wishes to the White House.
“But let me be very clear, Conor McGregor is not here in the United States representing Ireland or the people of Ireland.”
Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) assembly member Matthew O’Toole described McGregor’s White House appearance as an “insult to the island of Ireland” and “deeply depressing”.
“That Trump and his administration thought on Ireland’s national day to invite and clearly make a huge effort to platform and amplify McGregor, who is an appalling individual, is frankly beyond the pale,” he told BBC News NI.
On Monday, McGregor was also pictured alongside Elon Musk in the Oval Office.
Mr Musk is a close ally of the US president and is leading efforts to reduce the size of the federal government.

UPDATE: 21/3 CNN
—
Conor McGregor will run for the Irish presidency in elections later this year, the controversial former fighter said on Thursday, as he announced his candidacy for the largely ceremonial role on an anti-immigration stance.
McGregor, who in recent years has emerged as a figurehead for the far-right in Ireland, said on social media that he would run for president to oppose a long-awaited new European Union migration pact aimed at sharing the burden of processing asylum claims more evenly across the bloc.
“Who else will stand up to Government and oppose this bill?” he said in an Instagram post to his more than 46 million followers. “Any other Presidential candidate they attempt to put forward will be of no resistance to them. I will!”
The post comes just days after McGregor, 36, appeared at the White House with Donald Trump on St. Patrick’s Day, where he became the latest European ally of the US president to promote anti-immigrant sentiment – drawing controversy and censure back home.
In recent years, McGregor has also turned his attention to sparring with people on social media. Political analysts and far-right experts have told CNN that McGregor’s unique brand of Irish patriotism that won him supporters as a fighter has mutated into a strand of “far-right” Irish nationalism.
As far back as 2022, McGregor had expressed support for people protesting against immigration. Some Irish politicians have accused him of fanning the flames of discontent online, voicing his anger at Ireland’s immigration policy – a particularly sensitive issue given the country’s long history of emigration.
