Holiday Carols Nobody Asked For

Ho-Ho-Ho, Now I Have a Redaction Bar
The Epstein Files drop was supposed to be a transparency triumph. Instead, it became a Die Hard–style hostage crisis of redactions, disappearing documents, and cable-news explosions—perfectly timed to distract the country while billions in quiet corporate fraud slipped out the back door.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Shutdown
The parody reflects on the looming government shutdown, likening it to the Christmas season. Progress is stalled by routine political rhetoric and futile negotiations, as staff prepare for potential layoffs. Amidst the familiar chaos, the cycle of blame and uncertainty continues, leaving workers and markets in a state of anxious anticipation.
’Twas the Night Before Trump-mas

His theatrical condemnation draws attention, revealing his obsession and the relentless cycle of political engagement surrounding Trump.
All I Want for Christmas Is More Outrage
The parody captures a satirical Christmas wish for escalating outrage, particularly toward Donald Trump. It expresses a desire for controversy over calmness, highlighting a preference for sensational headlines and news commentary instead of traditional holiday cheer. The tone critiques media sensationalism, suggesting outrage fuels contemporary political discourse.
Strolling Through a Winter Wonderland
The parody of “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” features Joe Biden navigating a winter scene, humorously depicting his confusion and interactions with staff. Amidst playful chaos and comedic dialogue, he enjoys the holiday atmosphere, ultimately arriving at a peaceful retirement goal, devoid of speeches, in his winter wonderland.
God Rest Ye, Whistleblowers
The parody song emphasizes the challenges faced by whistleblowers seeking transparency in systems resistant to scrutiny. It highlights the consequences of questioning authority, contrasting the bravery of individuals like Tina Peters with the punitive responses from powerful entities. Ultimately, it champions the importance of inquiry and accountability in governance.
The Epstein Files Are Coming to Town
The parody of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” humorously addresses the release of the Epstein files, highlighting their significance with unsealed exhibits detailing connections and flight logs. It underscores the media frenzy, legal implications, and public reactions, revealing the tension surrounding the names involved and the lack of definitive proof.
