Y.M.C.A. Singer/Writer Issues Statement Supporting Trump’s Use of Song

Village People frontman Victor Willis has broken his silence on Donald Trump’s usage of the group’s hit song, Y.M.C.A.

The President-elect always concluded his campaign rallies to the 1978 hit song, with his signature dance sweeping the nation’s sportsgrounds in recent weeks.

Although Willis had shared updates on the song’s Billboard chart performance rising in line with Trump’s ascension on his Facebook page, the 73-year-old has stayed largely silent on the President-elect’s usage of the song. However, on Monday, Dec. 2, Willis released a lengthy statement, addressing how he withdrew a request to Broadcast Music, Inc. to suspend a political use license issued to Trump.

As singer and writer of Y.M.C.A.’s lyrics, Willis noted how the song had “benefited greatly” from use by the President-elect, eventually reaching #1 some 45 years after its release. “Therefore, I’m glad I allowed the President Elect’s continued use of Y.M.C.A. And I thank him for choosing to use my song,” Willis wrote on Facebook.

He also addressed allegations that the song was a gay anthem.

“As I’ve said numerous times in the past, that is a false assumption based on the fact that my writing partner was gay, and some (not all) of Village People were gay, and that the first Village People album was totally about gay life,” Willis continued. “This assumption is also based on the fact that the YMCA was apparently being used as some sort of gay hangout and since one of the writers was gay and some of the Village People are gay, the song must be a message to gay people. To that I say once again, get your minds out of the gutter. It is not.”

He concluded that the claims would cease in 2025 because “come January 2025, my wife will start suing each and every news organization that falsely refers to Y.M.C.A.” as such.

Most on social media stood by Willis.

Others noted how the song had become iconic following its use by Trump.

Michelle Obama Mocked for Self-Help Book to Manage TDS Symptoms

Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s new self-help workbook Overcoming has been touted to help people “get through the challenging periods life throws our way.”

The book is described as a “timely” gift or purchase – in other words its is meant to help Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers deal with President-elect Donald Trump‘s election victory.

Obama said the purchase may be helpful “particularly during this time.”: “My new workbook, Overcoming, is out! It’s going to be on shelves. This is the first time I’ve held it myself,” Obama said.

“This is a timely gift or purchase for yourself because this is a workbook that takes you through some techniques and exercises based on some of the insights I shared with you all in The Light That We Carry.”

“So I encourage you, particularly during this time, during the holiday season, during a time where we feel a little out of sorts, a little anxious,” she said.

“I urge you to pick this book up and just walk through some of the exercises and also do it in some groups. I mean, I know there are a lot of great book groups out there, and you guys might find that using some of these exercise techniques and tips as a form of conversation. So, I hope you find this useful. Take care. Talk soon.”

“I’m so excited to give you a first look at Overcoming — a workbook designed to help you get through the challenging periods life throws our way,” reads the text of her social media post announcing the book’s December 3 release date.

The response on social media was brutal. A sampling of the responses included:

“Next book you can write – How to overcome the destruction and divisive culture you and your husband have left behind,” another quipped as many commenters offered similar sentiments. Those include the following comments:

“I would rather hug a grizzly bear or spend a day shopping at the mall than read that garbage book.”

“Nobody cares. You and Barry destroyed this great nation.”

“Hard pass. Never ever not in million years. Not enough money.”

“What did you overcome exactly?”

“I can’t wait to not read that.”

“Does this book tell us how you overcome a personal chefs [sic] death?”

“This is a fabulous idea! Spend decades NOT teaching people how to cope, and then sell them a diary to help them cope.”

“Peddle this shit on blue sky not X”

“No one is looking for life advice from an Obama, neither one of you dudes. You have tried to destroy our country for the last 16 years, no thanks, kick rocks.”

“If I wanted to waste money I’d burn it”

“Traitorous scum.”

“Just the person I need advice from or help increase their ever growing bank account, never happen.”

The book includes “creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, and of course, ‘going high.’”

Ellen DeGeneres Leaves The U.S. Because Of The Election

Ellen DeGeneres decided enough is enough and moved to England in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.

In a world of celebrities threatening to leave the country in the event of a Donald Trump victory, DeGeneres at least deserves credit for actually going through with it. As was the case for most celebs, DeGeneres had backed Kamala Harris over Trump.

The former television personality, who quit showbusiness after claims of a toxic work environment on the set of her self-titled show in 2022, has since reportedly left the United States for the Cotswolds – a rural area in the south of England. DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are thought to have left their California home in a decision motivated by Trump’s election earlier this month.

Hopefully she’s a fan of European tax rates.

Their property in Montecito will be sold, according to a report by The Wrap.  

DeGeneres reportedly bought the sprawling Montecito property in 2019, and she and de Rossi have made it their primary residence; it wasn’t clear what would become of her other Southern California properties. A former spokeswoman for DeGeneres said she is no longer representing the comedian since her comedy special and tour are concluded.

Let’s be honest, would a single person have even noticed she left if it wasn’t being reported?

Many on social media were far from heartbroken by the news.

Others questioned whether the move was a good decision since the Labour Party took power in July 2024.

All In The Family’s Rob Reiner Still a Meathead 50 Years Later

If you’re of a certain age, you remember watching All in the Family when it aired on primetime. The show featured a working class white family living in Queens. Archie and Edith Bunker were the parents, and their daughter Gloria and her husband Mike lived in the townhouse with them. 

When I was a kid growing up in a Democrat household (don’t worry, I got better), loudmouthed and blunt Archie was the hero we loved to hate. He was conservative and crotchety. He had little time for complaints from racial minorities about mistreatment; for Archie, it was a lot of whining from people who didn’t have it nearly as bad as they claimed they did. 

He didn’t like his son-in-law Mike, either, a long-haired, mustachioed, long-in-the-tooth hippie who banged on about vegetarianism, social justice, and those bad capitalist fat cats. There was a reason Archie called him “meathead.”

Show creator Normal Lear was, though very talented, your standard-issue Hollywood liberal. Middle-aged, working class, white Archie Bunker was supposed to be the scapegoat of the show. We were supposed to laugh at him with pity, never with him. Instead, daughter Gloria and her meathead husband were positioned as the “truly caring” people that normal and good Americans could identify with. 

I used to watch the show the way I was “supposed to.” And then I grew up and got into middle age and I’ll tell you, I can’t stand meathead either. To me, Archie Bunker was the real hero of the show. It may even be true that Archie Bunker was the inaugural character who launched 50 years of insult and degradation by liberals against white conservative American men. You’re hard pressed to find a single father figure or major male character in a comedy show who isn’t portrayed as a selfish, stupid oaf who can’t figure out how to run a washing machine. No, it’s his “better half,” his much more clever and with-it wife, who makes all good things happen. 

All of that is a long wind-up to point out that it looks like Normal Lear wrote Mike Stivic/Meathead to mirror the actor Rob Reiner who played him. Reiner has become one of the most deranged uber-progressive-liberals in Hollywood, and at his advanced age he continues to bedevil social media users with pious stupidity like this: 

The reader will pardon me while I steel myself against picking up the bourbon. 

What’s he on about? Democrats literally cannot and will not tell you what a woman is if you ask. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh proved that with his wildly successful documentary, “What is a Woman.”

And what does Reiner or any other liberal in Hollywood care about birthing babies? The only babies they like are those that get aborted before they have a chance at life. It’s really just too much. There are words for men like Rob Reiner—and they’re accurate—but those are too colorful for Wokespy.

Let’s see how X/Twitter reacted to Reiner’s bathos:

This one’s extra funny even if it takes a minute to get it:

Fans Irate As Star Wars Introduces Transgender Clone Trooper

Star Wars has released the first image of a new transgender clone trooper which will feature within the franchise.

Named “Sister”, the character has reportedly existed for two years since first debuting in the 2022 novel, “A Queen’s Hope”. However, Sister will officially enter Star Wars lore, leaving many fans furious as they long for a time when the franchise was about awesome battles in space.

Like all other clone troopers, Sister wears a white suit, although her armor is decorated with the blue and pink of the transgender rights flag.

It’s bizarre that Disney believes fans of the series truly care about what a “clone” trooper identifies as. Since it bought the rights nearly a decade ago, many have longed for strong storytelling, captivating creativity and fantastic films, rather than the introduction of virtue signaling and left-wing activists.

For many fans, the transgender character doesn’t even fit in with Star Wars cannon. The Kaminoans, which created the clones, had a long history of eradicating creations which did not meet acceptable parameters. While their views on genetic modification are unclear, it’s unlikely within the Star Wars universe that they would approve of a clone whose priorities focus on personal freedoms rather than serving the Galactic Republic.

Some fans were even confused as to whether the character’s introduction was genuine!

Texas Gunsmith Trolls Lonestar Democrats Hard with Billboard Prank

It’s what the young people today call a “sick burn.” You can bet some blue-no-matter-who people in Texas are hopping mad after someone bought a billboard right beneath another ad urging Texans to “vote Democratic.”

The billboard plugging votes for Democrats sits on a pole that can fit two signs, one above the other. A sign reading “Vote Democratic” was placed on top, with the one below reading “Cooper.”

Cooper is the advertising agency that sells space, and the “ad” is just a placeholder letting people know there’s a spot they can rent for their message. Well, the gentleman who posted the video above noticed and said, “That one right there is still available. Shall we do something?”

And do something he did. Watch below – and get ready to laugh:

It’s not just conservatives or Texans getting a laugh out of that bit of trolling. A rock radio station in Wichita Falls, Kansas, noticed the billboards. Staff writer “Stryker” for 106.3 FM wrote Democrats in Comfort, Texas, are probably having acid indigestion on seeing the perfectly legal and above-board “prank.” 

The original sign urging a Democrat vote was bought and paid for by the Kendall County Democrats.

And who was the stinker who put up the “Just Kidding, Vote Republican, MAGA” sign just below? You’re going to love this. The customer is a gunsmith who owns a business that applies ceramic coating to guns, cars, and more. 

The “ratio” on X (Twitter) in response to the post about the billboard is decidedly in the gunsmith’s favor:

But there’s always at least one blue party pooper:

Taylor Swift’s Endorsement Of Harris Prompts More People To Vote For Trump

Following the presidential debate last week, pop singer Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.

The climate conscious singer’s endorsement was perhaps no surprise given that her political positions have often favored Democrats. In the 2018 mid-term elections, Swift endorsed Tennessee Democrats Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper. In 2020, she publicly endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket.

While predictable, the singer – whose songs often contain references to her own bad decision-making – was expected to carry some weight in convincing moderate “Swifties” to vote Democrat.

However, that’s not happening.

While Donald Trump may “hate” Taylor Swift, Harris must feel the same to some extent too following the release of a YouGov poll on Saturday. Only 8% of respondents to the poll said Swift’s endorsement is “somewhat” or “much more likely” to convince them to vote Democrat. Interestingly, 20% of respondents said they were now “somewhat” or “much less likely” to support Harris after receiving the singer’s backing. The majority of those polled said it had made no difference on their voting intentions (66%).

Many respondents were split as to whether Swift’s endorsement will have a positive effect on Harris’ campaign (32%) or no difference at all (27%). Fans made up 34% of those surveyed, with her biggest supporters being female, registered Democrats who were going to vote Harris regardless.

The poll’s results were humorous to many on social media.

Others speculated that Swift’s reputation as a wealthy celebrity failed to resonate with millions of Americans.

Will Ferrell Takes Road Trip With New Best Lady Man Friend

Oh lord—Netflix just won’t quit.

Just as it seems like the world is finally getting tired enough of woke claptrap about race, gender, and all manner of “oppressions,” entertainment companies are doubling down on woke offerings that seem destined to bring ridicule instead of profit. 

The Netflix streaming service is one of the worst offenders. What used to be about as popular and “loved by everyone” as Blockbuster Video was in the 1980s and 1990s is now a digital “freaks on demand” service. In the past few years the service has offered viewers a multi-part documentary focusing on the alleged troubles of third-tier American whiner/actress Meghan Markle and her henpecked husband Prince Harry Windsor, a series featuring dimwitted race huckster Ibram X. Kendi (real name: Ibram Henry Rogers, but that doesn’t sound Militant Black enough), and a show called “He’s Expecting.” Yes. It’s a show about a pregnant man, because that’s a real thing now we are all commanded to believe on pain of cancellation. 

One of the most ridiculous and offensive series in recent years has to be the “reimagining” of the Tudor Court. Or, as we like to call it, Black Anne Boleyn. That’s right, Netflix decided to really reimagine the downfall of Henry VIII’s second wife by casting dark-skinned black actress Jodie Turner Smith. Because we all know that black Africans were a huge part of early modern English life, and that Henry was an early proponent of interracial dating. 

The Daily Mail wrote about how the company was experiencing the Go Woke, Go Broke effect, and axed some of its worst offerings in order to save the company’s bottomline. But has Netflix woken up? Not if its latest Will Ferrell comedy is any indication.

“Will and Harper” is a road-trip buddy movie with a twist: it’s actually a documentary. Oh, and there’s another twist: one of the buds has become a bud-ette.  Ferrell stars along with former Saturday Night Live head writer Harper Steele as themselves. The trailer opens with a maudlin-comic (they think) introduction by Ferrell in which he reminisces about working with his friend Harper, then receives a letter from him saying he’s “transitioning to live as a woman.” So they decide to have a road trip about it. 

Click the pic below to see the trailer. Warning: you may get creeped out by a monotone and very male Harper Steele in mod glasses and a lady-cut intoning, “I’m not Andrew Steele anymore.” Cue Psycho theme music. 

Let’s see what X/Twitter users had to say to Netflix on that thread. 

This guy is right on the money. He’s talking about the popular movie ratings website Rotten Tomatoes, which is known to be staffed by wokies who rate any postmodern garbage as genius while the audience rating for the same dreck gives it a thumbs down. 

There’s always one dummy. 

Tell us, readers, will you be taking the road trip with Will and “Harper?”

Online Gossip Rag TMZ Falls for Beyoncé DNC Rumor

The entire Democrat campaign for president is nothing but hot air about Kamala Harris, so why not a little more? Breitbart has the bead on what appears to be an orchestrated lie put out by the Harris campaign to pump up numbers at the Democratic National Convention that wound up in Chicago.

Did you hear that pop goddess Beyoncé was supposed to appear? Plenty did, thanks to a rumor that the online gossip tabloid TMZ put out. As it turns out, their source for the claim was Harris’ senior political director and strategist Emmy Ruiz, who knowingly lied and then joked about it after.

The rumor then spread like wildfire, as you can see below in the compilation of liberal news outlets that then pushed it.

TMZ’s gossip originated from Ruiz tweeted out a bee emoji, and because Beyonce”s fans call her “Queen B” therefore Beyonce would be appearing at the DNC. And while that seems like a stretch, that was what Ruiz wanted all along, who joked after fooling the media (who wanted to be fooled) that she only tweeted that because her “6 year old took my phone.”

Is anyone surprised? Harris is an empty candidate with no ideas except how to achieve her own will to power. She’s been rightly mocked by critics across the political spectrum for having a presidential campaign website with absolutely zero policy details and no platform. But it sure is full of pictures of Harris and running mate Tim Walz attempting to simulate human grins.

Harris managed to get an audience at all at one of her first rallies after the apparent “soft coup” that dumped Joe Biden out of the race by giving rally goers a free concert. Superstar rapper Meghan Thee Stallion looks to be the reason anyone turned out, but one thing is certain: it was the first time a presidential candidate featured “twerking” at a campaign rally. That’s no longer remarkable, apparently, as all CNN had to say about the fact that a rapper was thrusting her ass into the audience’s face was that she was wearing a pantsuit just like Kam Kam. 

People on social media are mocking the Beyoncé rumor with many saying anyone who fell for it is a fool. But are they? In a country with a major political party that endorses the surgical and chemical mutilation of confused children and calls it “gender affirming care,” is a Beyoncé convention appearance that hard to buy?

Let’s see what people on X have to say. 

He’s got a point. 

This one will make you titter. 

You can’t really argue with Anthony about this one.

Disney Axes Woke Series “The Acolyte,” Upsets Extremist Woke Fans

Disney’s latest Star Wars venture, “The Acolyte,” has been abruptly canceled after just one season.

Controversial ‘Woke’ Series Axed

Disney+ pulled the plug on “The Acolyte,” a Star Wars series overseen by director Leslye Headland, following its single, contentious season. The decision blindsided viewers, especially following actor Manny Jacinto’s enthusiastic promotion at the recent D23 Expo. Lucasfilm ultimately decided against continuing the show, leaving its fanbase with a season-finale cliffhanger and no resolution in sight.

This unpredictable termination has stirred debate about the impact of ‘wokeness’ on modern entertainment.

Despite its promotional hype, “The Acolyte” struggled to establish a strong foothold among audiences, leading to this drastic decision from Disney and Lucasfilm.

Divisive Reception and Unresolved Storylines

The show’s debut season faced relentless rumors and encountered a profoundly divided reception. Despite a potent season finale, Disney and Lucasfilm opted not to greenlight a second season. Considering the limited array of upcoming live-action Star Wars series, this cancellation came as a genuine surprise to Woke fans.

Critically, “The Acolyte” earned a 78% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience score plummeted to a dismal 18%. Criticisms ranged from sluggish pacing to subpar tension, leading many to question if the high production costs were ever justified.

“The Acolyte is no more. The Star Wars series will not return for a second season, EW has learned,” EW reported. 

The series had a strong launch, amassing 4.8 million views on its first day and 11.1 million views globally within five days. It even appeared on Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart, debuting at No. 7 in its first week and climbing to No. 6 subsequently. Yet, by Week 3, it fell out of the Top 10, only climbing back to No. 10 after the finale aired, which, with 335 million minutes viewed, became the lowest-rated Star Wars series finale.

Corporate Silence and Future Prospects

Disney and Lucasfilm have not provided an official reason for canceling “The Acolyte.” The divisions among fans, due to its female-centric plot and diverse casting, certainly played a role. This echoes previous controversies within the Star Wars community, notably after the release of “The Last Jedi.”

With Disney shifting its focus back to cinema, there are already four new Star Wars movies in development. Furthermore, upcoming television content includes “Skeleton Crew,” “Andor” season 2, and “Ahsoka” season 2. Although this pattern of limited series and abrupt cancellations mirrors the MCU’s trajectory on Disney+, the direction remains uncertain.

The Road Ahead for Star Wars

This decision adds fuel to the fire of an already contentious Star Wars fanbase. Leslye Headland had pitched ideas for a second season and expressed her aspirations for renewal. However, in the current climate, it appears Disney and Lucasfilm are moving towards projects with broader appeal, shying away from controversial ‘woke’ storylines that divide the audience.

“‘The Acolyte’ had a bumpy journey through marketing and release on the small screen, to say the least,” Fran Ruiz said for Space.com.  

As Disney pivots back to cinema, the future of Star Wars on Disney+ remains precarious. With both divisive content and high production costs, the shift towards fewer, more impactful series could see a more strategic and profitable model for the franchise moving forward.
