GB News: Singer behind anti-Starmer festive hit warns BBC's refusal to play song will cost pensioner donations
A festive song titled "Freezing This Christmas," criticizing Labour's cuts to Winter Fuel Payments, has topped the charts but is not being played by the BBC. The song's creator, Dean Ager, argues that the BBC's refusal limits fundraising for vulnerable pensioners, with over £47,000 already raised for Age UK.
Ager and others urge the government to address the hardships faced by 2.5 million pensioners affected by the payment cuts. The BBC stated they do not have specific policies against playing protest songs, emphasizing that music choices consider audience and context.
Fox News: Biden vetoes bill that would have given Trump more judicial seats to fill
President Biden vetoed a bill aimed at adding 66 federal district judgeships over a decade, citing concerns about the "hurried action" of Congress and unresolved questions regarding the allocation of these positions. He argued that the need for new judgeships must be studied further before creating life-tenured roles.
The legislation, which had bipartisan support and was intended to alleviate delays in the judicial system, faced criticism for potentially allowing a future Republican administration to appoint judges. Biden's veto effectively halts the bill for the current Congress, requiring a two-thirds majority to overturn it.

Fox News: If you want to help America, start serving

Volunteering can unite people from various backgrounds, helping to rebuild trust and understanding. By working together on community projects, individuals can focus on shared goals rather than political divides, ultimately reclaiming a sense of humanity and connection.

Fox News: Nicole Kidman's erotic thriller faces off with horror flick as Christmas Day movies take dark turn
This Christmas Day, two major film releases, "Babygirl" and "Nosferatu," are not family-friendly options, focusing instead on adult themes and horror. Nicole Kidman's "Babygirl" is an erotic thriller, while "Nosferatu" is a dark retelling of the Dracula tale, both aiming for Oscar consideration.
In contrast, the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown" and a sing-along version of "Wicked" cater to broader audiences. The trend of fewer holiday-themed films in theaters is attributed to the rise of streaming services, which now dominate family-friendly holiday viewing.
