The MSM is getting coal this Christmas. Santa's last straw: a recent Washington Post story that attempted to portray DC National Guard ambush suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal as a struggling Afghan immigrant weighed down by job issues and post-war stress. Despite their years-long insistence to “trust the experts” the media immediately changed their tune once Trump returned to the White House. Suddenly, major outlets are eager to decry the FDA's demands for a science-based approval process of vaccines, post headlines defending criminals, and publish countless paragraphs speculating about the President's health (Biden excluded, of course).

It ain't Christmas b*tch! Our favorite old crone Jessica St. Clair joins us for our annual holiday livestream to break down 2015's Merry Kissmas—a movie with a softly magical elevator filled with unwanted kisses. They discuss Doris Roberts' forceful smooch, the flirty cousins, Kayla's obsession with the Nutcracker doll, the eccentric German shopkeeper, Carlton's triangular facial hair, the worst Santa ever, and so much more. Is it ok to commit adultery with your elevator soulmate? Is it normal to have a favorite pair of socks? Should you grab a face while kissing?

MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

It stars Rohan Campbell from "The Monkey" as your killer Santa, and Ruby Modine from "Happy Death Day" as a true crime junkie (slash) his love interest. (84%)"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (PG) Trailer The 25th anniversary re-release of the live action movie starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch, Taylor Momsen (from The Pretty Reckless) as Cindy Lou Who, and Christine Baranski as the woman who secretly has feelings for the Grinch. (50%)Will Smith hit with another major scandal—longtime friend turns on him in $3 million lawsuit Everybody's getting into the year-end roundup business. Even the deliciously gay hookup app Grindr!!! Here's a sample of their 2025 wrap-up:Mother of the Year: Lady GagaDaddy of the Year: Pedro PascalMother-In-Training: Sabrina CarpenterShow of the Year: "Overcompensating", Prime VideoAlbum of the Year: "Mayhem", Lady GagaSong of the Year: "Abracadabra", Lady GagaGay Dictionary . . . The Phrase on Everyone's Lips: Delulu. (Short for "delusional".)Hottest Man of the Year: Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero in the "Wicked" movies)Movie of the Year: "Kpop Demon Hunters"Bulge of the Year (!!!): Bad BunnyGayest Fashion Trend: Slutty little glassesBest Beef: Cardi B vs. Nicki MinajMost Bears: IrelandHighest Percentage of Twinks: Switzerland AND FINALLYWe all know the debate about "Die Hard". But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 173. This week, Kristen opens the episode with an emotional update on everything going on with Luke's dog, Jill, and why she was rushed into emergency surgery. She's then joined by Brittany Cartwright for a fun and festive conversation. The two dive into: • What it really takes to make a TikTok • Holiday season chaos and decoration styles • The big question: when do you tell your kids Santa isn't real—and when did they figure it out? • Brittany's Christmas traditions with Cruz • How to juggle holiday travel with family—do you switch off years or split the time? They wrap up with a candid Q&A, answering: • What was harder to film: Vanderpump Rules or The Valley? • What's the most unhinged thought Brittany has ever had? • And a myth-busting moment: one thing people always assume about Kristen and Brittany's relationship that's totally wrong.

Parents are opting out of taking their kids to see Santa, and what's up with Tara Reid? A California man discovered that a bear was living under his kitchen, and it wasn't a rent share situation. I give you the best places to have a white Christmas, and one mother is charging each family member for their Christmas dinner, and I don't think that announcement landed well. A raccoon now knows what a hangover is all about, and Christmas in New York isn't all it's cracked up to be. Christmas bonuses are a thing of the past and you never know where your food has been when you order it delivered to your home. These women on only fans will do most anything for their paying customers, including going to jail. It's so festive in here you can almost feel it, so let's do it. NO, not that!
We catch up on the latest amusement park news before our annual theme park Santa tradition where we share what we think each park should get for Christmas. The post Some parks deserve socks appeared first on In the Loop.
Five Big Ideas from My Monthly Conversation with Jen RisleyIf you'd rather watch than read, the replay is right at the top of this post. If you did watch, think of this as the “take-home version”—the themes Jen and I kept circling, the “wait—say that again” moments, and a few lines worth underlining.We kicked off in full holiday spirit. Jen teased me for “dressing up for the gig,” and I confessed I'd spent “six months growing the beard for Christmas.”That's the vibe of these monthly conversations: friendly, real, and (we hope) useful.And we do this every month because we're deeply aligned. As I put it, we share “ambitions for the way capital can work in our society,” and we want readers to know what the other is doing.Jen edits The Main Street Journal; I publish Superpowers for Good. Different lenses, same mission: community investment, community ownership, and systems that serve people better.What follows are the five big ideas that stood out in this month's conversation—grounded in the articles we discussed, but centered on what we said to each other.1) Convenience can be expensive—and communities pay twiceWe opened with a topic that's quietly enormous: how public agencies buy everyday supplies.I mentioned that I'd seen Amazon marketing itself to schools and had been “consciously curious” about whether it was truly a better way than local bulk contracts.The answer, according to the reporting we discussed, is often no—because “dynamic pricing” can mean schools pay a premium for routine purchases. Jen broadened the frame immediately. It's not just schools; it's “cities, and other municipalities” too.She acknowledged why it happens—“It's easy to have your staff log onto Amazon and place all the orders”—and then landed the gut punch:“But if it's actually reducing your tax base and it's also costing you more, you really have to rethink that.”That tax-base point was the one I admitted I'd missed. It isn't only that public funds can be overspent; it's that those dollars aren't circulating locally with vendors “who would be paying some local taxes as well.”Jen also emphasized something I loved: this isn't just “here's the problem.” She pointed to the organizing work behind the scenes—the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and allied groups—and the move from awareness to action: “now they're putting out toolkits and things like that… how can we work collectively to change the policies in our schools and our local government?”That's the pattern to watch for again and again: when money leaks out of a community, the fix isn't only personal choices. It's governance—policy, procurement rules, and collective action.2) When “the good guys” get big, they can drift—and we can't ignore itNext, we turned to credit unions—an area that hit close to home for me. I shared that early in my career I worked on Capitol Hill on legislation that “governs credit unions to this day,” and I felt a little guilty seeing today's challenges play out.Jen didn't let me wallow. She laughed and put me on the “naughty list.” (Holiday-themed accountability—apparently a new tradition.)But the substance here matters. The problem we discussed isn't “credit unions are bad.” It's that some very large credit unions can start behaving like the institutions they were meant to be an alternative to—especially when scale and incentives change.Jen captured the emotional reality of it perfectly:“You wanna believe in something… ‘here's an institution I can believe in. A hundred percent.' And then… when it becomes bigger, it starts to lose that connection with the community.”That's not just true of credit unions. It's true of almost every institution that starts as mission-driven and ends up measured primarily by growth.And Jen went one step further: mission drift doesn't happen in a vacuum. It can shape what institutions support—or oppose—when new community-building tools appear.3) “Move your money” is about power, not purityJen shared something from her own annual rhythm that I think deserves to be a bigger part of more people's lives.“Every April… I do a move your money month,” she said, where the focus is “banking local and investing local.”That matters because “move your money” isn't a slogan. It's a strategy. It's how ordinary people regain leverage in systems that are designed to make us feel small.And then Jen told a story that connects directly to the credit-union conversation. Some groups approached her organization asking support for public banking. She did the homework—read widely, spoke with Michael Shuman—and her reaction was visceral: “wow, this looks incredible… what a great opportunity for our communities and our municipalities.”But then: “When I looked at our credit union bigger partners, they were against public banks.”And she admitted what many of us feel when we discover conflict inside “the good ecosystem”: “nothing is easy and nothing simple.”That line has been ringing in my ears.We want clean heroes and clean villains. But community economics is messier than that. Sometimes the institutions we trust most will resist the changes that would most empower communities—because those changes threaten their position.The takeaway isn't cynicism. The takeaway is clarity: follow the incentives, and keep building tools that keep power close to the people.4) Public banking isn't a fantasy—it's a practical “how do we pay for it?” answerOne of Jen's biggest highlights this month was a Main Street Journal piece aimed at New York City's mayor-elect—focused on a question every ambitious leader faces: how do you pay for big promises?Jen summarized the challenge: leaders talk about “free buses… affordable housing and all that great stuff,” and the immediate pushback is: “Are you gonna raise the taxes?”And then the pivot:“Why raise taxes? Why not start a public bank like the Bank of North Dakota?”Jen walked through the core logic: instead of parking public funds in the usual places, a city could create a public bank, place deposits in local banks and credit unions, and use the interest “to go into the economic development projects that they were really passionate about.”She also highlighted what I think is the most exciting civic-finance idea embedded in the conversation: a city making it easy for residents to see and support local investment options—“lists of local investment options… regulated crowdfunding that you could invest in,” plus incentives like “tax credits to people who are investing in locally owned businesses.”This is a bridge between our two worlds: Jen's focus on local economic ecosystems and my focus on regulated crowdfunding as a practical pathway to community ownership.If you're someone who wants to do more than “vote and hope,” this is a lane worth learning about.5) Climate solutions must scale—and communities shouldn't be steamrolledJen also brought up my rebroadcast interview with Project Drawdown's Jonathan Foley and the idea of “100 different climate solutions that we could all take on.”She liked that Foley can translate science into outreach—“so that people understand their choices make a huge impact.” I shared a core point from that conversation: “climate solutions have to scale, quickly” because “the problem is enormous.”And I noted a specific example—how conventional concrete “continues to emit carbon long after it's built,” while innovators are developing alternatives that can reverse the effect. But the most important part of our exchange wasn't the science—it was the ethics of deployment.I said that when we talk about scaling climate solutions, “we need to keep an eye on communities,” local and Indigenous, and “balance community interests” so projects don't harm people.Jen took that and sharpened it with today's political reality:“It's gonna be even more of a challenge now because… it's not being supported by our federal government. So it's gonna really be up to the local communities… Having these conversations is more important than ever.”And when I talked about the risk of plowing ahead too aggressively, Jen gave us the plainspoken guardrail: “Steamrolling over anybody.”That's the heart of it.Scaling climate solutions is not just a technical problem. It's a governance problem. An ownership problem. A trust problem. And that's why Jen and I keep coming back to community investment and community ownership: if projects are happening in a place, people in that place should have a path to participate, benefit, and shape what happens next.A moment of tenderness—and why it belongs in this conversationBefore we wrapped, I shared a Thanksgiving story that still has me a little misty: our grandson was fussy at dinner, nothing worked, and when I took a turn holding him, “he put his head on my shoulder and gave me a tight hug… and he was just at peace instantly.”Jen's response was exactly right: “My heart melted.”I told Jen I was “stretching the metaphor a little bit,” but the connection feels real to me: community investing can create genuine relationships in a way that conventional investing doesn't—investing in people you know, or get to know, and then doing business together in the same community.That's not just warm-and-fuzzy. It's an alternative economic operating system.One small (but meaningful) holiday requestJen made the best pitch of the whole conversation, and I'm going to happily borrow it:“If they have a long list for Santa, make sure that subscribing to Superpowers for Good is on that list… subscribing to both of our publications is just going to make more of an impact… and… we can learn together.”So yes—watch the replay if you haven't. Share it with someone who cares about community and fairness. And if you're able, subscribe to The Main Street Journal and Superpowers for Good. This work is how we keep the conversation—and the practical solutions—moving.Happy holidays, friends. Get full access to Superpowers for Good at www.superpowers4good.com/subscribe
This week, Pop Culture Pastor hits Be Kind Rewind on Ernest Saves Christmas (1988). Dave, Cody, and Jackson revisit the holiday oddity that was a childhood staple for many, unpacking what still works (Jim Varney's undeniable talent, a genuinely great Santa) and what hasn't aged as well.Along the way, they talk Ernest's place in late-80s pop culture, Jim Varney's legacy, deeper themes of identity and calling, Muppet-ize the movie, pick which character they'd be, and wrap it all up with a Vern-based rating.Is Ernest Saves Christmas a true holiday classic or just a nostalgic time capsule?

#HolidayHorrors | Hundreds of people have reported encounters with what looks exactly like Santa Claus — and they weren't children dreaming on Christmas Eve. If the real Santa doesn't exist, what are these witnesses actually seeing... and why does it want to be seen?IN THIS EPISODE: Many of us are familiar with the flip side of Father Christmas – the darker entity who visits and kidnaps bad children, Krampus. But when it comes to true fear, even Krampus would run in terror at the sight of Iceland's Gryla, the Christmas Witch! With roots dating back to the 13th century, Gryla is not to be messed with! (Iceland's Christmas Witch) *** It was Christmastime, 1938, and 19-year-old Margaret Martin had just graduated from Wilkes-Barre Business College with honors and was eager to secure a secretarial job. Her eagerness would lead to her disappearance. (The Murder of Margaret Martin) *** Ask anyone over the age of twelve what they think about the existence of Santa Claus and you'll most assuredly get the same answer. But that has not stopped people of all ages reporting sightings of the jolly old elf, and some of the stories are downright creepy. (People Who Swear They've Seen the Real Santa Claus) *** Two murders committed in the same house during the holidays of 1928 appear to have resulted in the spirits of Christmas past haunting the place today.

In this festive—and mildly chaotic—episode, we dive head-first into the wonderfully unpredictable world of children’s Christmas productions. Sure, adults dream of polished performances, but let’s be honest: the magic is in the mayhem. A sheep costume held together with hope, a shepherd who suddenly decides he’s done shepherding, and a Wise Man who moonwalks across the stage—this is the good stuff. It’s also a reminder that nostalgia is a powerful filter… because somehow we forget that our own childhood pageants looked like a dress rehearsal for herding cats. We also tackle the evolving role of Santa Claus, who now shares top billing with commercialism, candy canes, and whatever new toy requires a second mortgage. And when it comes to telling your kids about Santa? We discuss the delicate balance between “preserving the magic” and “accidentally launching a career in investigative journalism.” Asking questions, it turns out, might be safer than crafting a 14-chapter North Pole backstory. Music makes an appearance too—specifically those songs that lodge themselves in your brain and refuse to pay rent. We talk about how learning the missing lyrics can finally set you free, and how modern AI is now helping create songs you’ll be annoyed by in half the time. Add in family games, awkward commercials that break every emotional moment, kids’ songs that permanently alter the atmosphere of your home, and the amusingly alarming side effects of modern medicine, and you’ve got a holiday episode packed with cheer, chuckles, and just enough chaos to feel authentic. It’s Christmas culture, comedy, and parental therapy wrapped in one giant, glitter-covered bow. Enjoy!

We discuss the delicate balance between “preserving the magic” and “accidentally launching a career in investigative journalism.” Asking questions, it turns out, might be safer than crafting a 14-chapter North Pole backstory. Music makes an appearance too—specifically those songs that lodge themselves in your brain and refuse to pay rent. We talk about how learning the missing lyrics can finally set you free, and how modern AI is now helping create songs you’ll be annoyed by in half the time. Add in family games, awkward commercials that break every emotional moment, kids’ songs that permanently alter the atmosphere of your home, and the amusingly alarming side effects of modern medicine, and you’ve got a holiday episode packed with cheer, chuckles, and just enough chaos to feel authentic. It’s Christmas culture, comedy, and parental therapy wrapped in one giant, glitter-covered bow. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas from Citizen McCain. Meghan and Miranda were supposed to have Congressman George Santos, but when he tapped out sick, friend of the show Ryan Girdusky swooped in to save the day. The three dive into Tyra Banks' unhinged Santa ice cream performance in Australia, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's matching neon Chrome Hearts looks, Jen Shah's early prison release, and why "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" might be the best reality show on TV right now, with detours into "Sister Wives," "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and who actually cashes in on long running shows. Then they pivot to airports and politics, roasting Sean Duffy's "pull ups at the gate" idea, griping about airport inflation and $27 ice cream, and breaking down Trump's Poconos rally comments about prices "coming down," Miami's surprising mayoral result, housing and crime, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski rumors, and chatter about Kash Patel (potentially) getting fired, and RFK Jr's possible prenatal health push. Meghan also talks through her looming maternity leave, why nothing fits except giant turtlenecks, the latest Douchebag and Darling of the Week, and why the Diddy documentary is so dark they have to save the full review for Monday.

The holiday season is in full swing, so why wouldn't we watch a 15-year-old Dutch Christmas horror movie? SINT (2010) follows an undead evil Santa with a burned face and a badass cane that he uses to decapitate people. On top of learning about evil Dutch Santa, you will find that blackface is apparently a socially-acceptable thing in that part of the world, which is definitely way more disturbing than a killer Santa. For the folks who whinge about subtitles, fear not - this one is dubbed in hilariously bad fashion, so you won't have to read. Hold onto your Netherlands, it's Horror Movie Night!

It's that time of year again so the guys are joined by Mariah Lirette to talk about another Christmas crapfest. This time, they discuss the insanity of the 1959 Mexican film Santa Claus. Casual racism? Check. Dancing dolls in a nightmare sequence? Check. David Cronenberg-esque cloud castle fortress for Santa? Check... wait what? Santa has TOO MUCH POWER.

Today Allie explains why she chose not to teach her kids to believe in Santa Claus. While imagination is powerful, believing in Santa can cause confusion and ultimately muddy the true gospel message of Christmas. Allie provides practical ways and activities for parents to keep Christ at the forefront of the holiday season, like devotional reading and hymn-singing. She then dives into progressive churches, like Lake Street Church in Illinois, that have hijacked Christmas to make it into a political spectacle to push agendas like open borders and illegal immigration. Despite what the Left says, Jesus was not a refugee. He and his family fled within the Roman Empire under divine command; he was not a modern border-crosser. Tune in for biblical clarity and why Christ — not Santa Claus — is the real reason for the season.
