    Santa: The Original Meme?

    It’s Christmas Day, and as the festivities settle into a cozy rhythm and my children begin heckling me to open presents, my father-in-law asks if I know the history of Santa Claus and Coca-Cola. I nodded, recalling the tale of how the jolly, red-suited Santa became synonymous with the modern notion of Christmas, thanks in large part to Coca-Cola's marketing.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
