Last weekend, UFC legend Jon “Bones” Jones defended his heavyweight title, defeating Stipe Miocic with a crushing kick to the ribs that tumbled the former heavyweight champion in the third round. Following his victory, Jones shocked the audience by doing the iconic Donald dance while the president-elect watched in his usual front-row seat. Several allies, including Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, RFK Jr., and House Speaker Mike Johnson accompanied Trump, adding to the spectacle. But the hype was just getting started. Jones then presented his belt to Donald Trump, as UFC fans went ballistic with excitement before re-entering the Octagon for an equally shocking post-match interview with Joe Rogan. “I want to acknowledge Jesus Christ. I tell you what, man — I cannot take credit for a gift like this, man. I really owe it all to him. And I know that there's millions of people around the world watching right now, and I just want to let you guys know that Jesus loves you so much,” Jones said. “Blaze News Tonight” host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson invite Steve Kim, BlazeTV contributor to "Fearless," on the show to discuss a most remarkable night. Steve says that what Jones did in the Octagon on Saturday night is part of the new precedent that’s been set following Trump’s re-election: Athletes are “coming out of the closet.” Steve repurposes this phrase to refer to how “athletes seem to be liberated in a lot of respects post November 5” regarding sharing “their own beliefs,” whether related to culture, religion, or politics. Jones, in a matter of seconds, was candid about where he stood on at least two of those. “He just hit the grand slam,” praises Steve. “It's amazing that MAGA is something that people are very proud to expose and to exhibit, and I think it's great to see.” When it comes to Jones presenting Trump with his belt, Peterson says that “many people said, whether they praised it or whether they hated it, this looked like a gladiator in the arena going to the emperor.” One reporter likened Trump to Julius Caesar following the event. “This is sort of the conquering Republican Caesar who’s going into the Colosseum and everyone‘s cheering, and he‘s got his political gladiators with him," said CNN’s Marc Caputo, adding that Trump was “sending a message to the Senate.” “Donald Trump has had the greatest personality arc in about a month. He went from Adolf Hitler to Julius Caesar,” laughs Steve. To hear more of the conversation, watch the clip above.

The first openly transgender member of Congress elected to the U.S. House of Representatives responded Wednesday to a ban on biological males in congressional bathrooms designated for women. Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware released the statement after Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the ban earlier in the day. 'I'm just a woman trying to pee in peace in the women's restroom without a MAN IN IT.'"I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families," McBride wrote in a social media post. "Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them."McBride went on to call the debacle a distraction from "the real issues" facing the country. "I continue to look forward to getting to know my future colleagues on both sides of the aisle," McBride continued. "Each of us were [sic] sent here because voters saw something in us that they value. I have loved getting to see those qualities in the future colleagues that I've met and I look forward to seeing those qualities in every member come January. I hope all of my colleagues will seek to do the same with me." The controversy arose after Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina proposed legislation to ban biological males from women's bathrooms in Congress in response to McBride's election. "I will stand in the brink and in the way of anyone on the radical left who thinks it's OK for a penis to be in a woman's locker room or a bathroom or a changing room," said Mace to a reporter. Johnson made it clear in his statement that in addition to gender-designated bathrooms in Congress, there are also unisex bathrooms, and each member has their own bathroom in their individual office. "I'm just a woman trying to pee in peace in the women's restroom without a MAN IN IT," Mace said on social media. Like Blaze News?

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images SafeRent, an AI screening tool used by landlords, will no longer use AI-powered “scores” to evaluate whether someone using housing vouchers would make a good tenant. On Wednesday, US District Judge Angel Kelley issued final approval for a roughly $2.3 million settlement to prevent SafeRent from discriminating against tenants based on income and race. The settlement stems from a 2022 class action lawsuit filed in Massachusetts. The suit alleged that SafeRent’s scoring system disproportionately harmed people using housing vouchers — specifically Black and Hispanic applicants. In addition to violating Massachusetts law, the complaint also accused SafeRent of breaking the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits housing discrimination. As outlined... Continue reading…

Ahead of the holiday season, Uber announced new changes to its iPhone app. One of them is a new Home Screen widget, which the company says is especially useful during the holiday rush. With this update, iPhone users can add a new Uber widget to their Home Screen to quickly request a ride. According to the company, you can request a ride in as little as two taps if you use the option to pre-save two addresses, such as Home and Work. Users can also tap the magnifying glass icon to search for another address when requesting a ride. Besides this change for iPhone users, Uber is also introducing a new XXL category. The company explains: "Travel in comfort, with ample room for all your luggage! With UberXXL, you’ll have access to a larger trunk space, perfect for airport pick-ups and drop-offs when you have extra baggage, plus comfortable seating for you and your group. UberXXL is now available for rides to and from more than 60 airports globally, including 40 in the US, & Canada, and more to come." Uber is even giving eligible Uber One members $20 of Uber Cash back on their next XXL ride up until December 1. The company is also making riding from the airport more affordable. With UberX Share at airports, you can get up to 25% discount compared to the regular UberX fare, even if they are not matched with a co-rider. According to Uber, this new category will be available in the US at AUS (Austin), DEN (Denver), EWR (New York), IAD (Washington, D.C.), MIA (Miami), MSY (New Orleans), PHX (Phoenix), SFO (San Francisco), and internationally at AMS (Amsterdam) and MAD (Madrid).
