☆ Village People singer defends Trump's use of 'Y.M.C.A.,' says song isn't a 'gay anthem'

“Y.M.C.A.” singer and co-writer Victor Willis of the band Village People defended President-elect Donald Trump’s use of the song Monday on Facebook. Willis denied that the disco tune was intended as a “gay anthem,” saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays” when he wrote the lyrics. Willis said he wrote “Y.M.C.A.” based on what he knew about the worldwide youth organization at the time, particularly the YMCA branches in the urban areas of San Francisco. Willis said he has received more than 1,000 complaints about the use of “Y.M.C.A” at Trump’s campaign rallies. Data suggests the staple campaign moment drove the song up the charts, with search interest and listenership soaring on Election Day.

President Biden issues a “full and unconditional pardon” of his son Hunter. President Biden pardons his son HunterSusan Walsh / AP PhotoPresident Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter despite saying repeatedly he would not use his executive authority to pardon him or commute his sentence. Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 for his conviction on federal gun charges. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” Biden said in his statement. Biden is using his pardon power to ensure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail as he nears the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face.

Behind four total touchdowns by quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills routed the 49ers 35-10 on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” to clinch a playoff spot and win Buffalo’s fifth consecutive AFC East title. The Bills’ dominant team outcome was the product of Allen’s individual brilliance. Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to score touchdowns running, passing and receiving in a single game. After they fell behind 3-0, the Bills scored the next 28 points to easily take control and improve to 10-2, including 6-0 at home. To add more injury to insult, star linebacker Fred Warner later left the game, as well.

☆ Trump may renew a housing fight that could rattle mortgage rates
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( Samantha Delouya | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Many Americans already have whiplash after recent swings in mortgage rates: After the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate peaked at nearly 8% last fall, rates fell steadily ahead of the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut in September. That trend has since reversed, and mortgage rates have climbed back up to nearly 7% as investors bet that the Fed will cut rates fewer times than initially expected due to recent strong economic data. This helps enable a reliable flow of money to mortgage lenders, allowing them to offer more affordable rates to would-be homebuyers. During the housing meltdown of 2008, the two companies were brought under government control in an effort to stabilize the housing market. Some analysts advocate for full privatization, meaning the government would not provide assurances to backstop the two mortgage companies.

But in a grim climate for media in general and journalism specifically, it's great to hear about things that work. Your argument is that you're going to continue to have these problems as long as you're looking for billionaires to own your media.
