Hallelujah is one of the greatest songs of all time. One of those songs that when it airs and you are driving that you pull over into a parking lot; stop; and just close your eyes and listen; then hit replay. It calms the soul in this crumbling culture of ours. Merry Christmas--- there I said it!
Trivia: Trumpet players everywhere have had to pencil in that held high C about two thirds through the piece. Nobody knows who improvised it originally and it doesn't appear in the Schirmer orchestration which is the standard. But it has always been one of the "hooks" in the orchestral performance.
I wasn't completely sure if the "Hallelujah" listed in the poll referred to the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah? If that's what you're referring to, Amen! Superb piece of music.
Ah. If we were voting for a glorious piece of music, then, I would have voted for the Hallelujah Chorus. But in a sense it isn't really a 'carol', in that most of us ordinary folks can't sing it at home around the piano, or out caroling, or in church.
My comment reflected the "Hallelujah" I picked; not many other versions or Biblical ones. Hence that was the way I crafted my response. If yours is different, then good for you.

Hypocrisy, Paranoia, outright Perfidity… this is all going to spiral out of control (actually not out of control, it’s just designed to look that way) this spring and summer. Watch blm, antifa, the trannies and everybody else lose their shit over everything, turn the country inside out and give the administration an excuse to call in the Military and cancel the election.
Especially now that the DC cartel is inviting the non-American, illegal tresspasses to join our military as a path to citizenship. They'll think it'll be fun to shoot Americans.
Hard to imagine what fools and evil people seem to be in control. Sure, lets invite a few of those illegals to be wearing US military uniforms and pointing guns at us - what could possibly go wrong?
Chuck, I'm with you up until cancelling the election. I don't think America would stand for a Zelensky move like that. It will be mail-in or online voting. More of the same but for a different reason.
BTW: In Canada, you get a lot of snow for a lot longer to the point where I'd think you would want to sing "Let it be warm with sunshine" or some such carol. You probably have snow right now as the rest of us are taking odds in our places for a White Christmas.

Actually, here in TO, we have very little. There is a real chance for a non -White Christmas.
I hope I’m wrong about the election, but these communist maniacs are capable of anything. And considering how many of these assholes are going to be facing jail time if a change of Administration’s occurs, I think that that option, in all its extremist glory, is a real possibility!
I might agree with you, unless Trump, on his first day in office, starts closing and abolishing entire federal departments. For example, why do we need so many "intelligence" bureaus? Recent history shows them to be full of people with so little to do, they spend all their time subverting the President. And yes, the vast majority of federal bureaucrats are leftists, but they also want to keep their easy money, so some judicious firing, and the department abolition of the week, could put the fear of God, I mean Trump, in them.
There are other ways too, to rein in the Beast. Consider balancing hiring by political leanings ...
We've stood by and watched everything else happen... why do you think Americans will care if elections are canceled? Turnout, even when the table stakes are survival, is less than half of the eligible voters.
You raise a good point but I think they will care because cancelling an election is way more than choosing who will be president of the US. It will cancel every other election up and down the ticket including local races and issues on the ballot. I don’t think it would fly. The same energy that cancelled Bud Light is still out there and they won’t put up with it.
We have almost no snow on the island of Montreal after getting a big dump at the beginning of December. There is snow outside Montreal but not a lot, and of course there's always snow in the north. It rained like mad on Monday, melting what was left. It's not climate change. Twenty years ago we had a similar December. At this point, there will not be a white Christmas in the city of Montreal.
The problem with hypocrite Abbott is it's always too little, too late. In other words he's a photo op Republican. I'm waiting for a report on how the Texas National Guard troops he sent to the border are doing. Have they helped stem the tide or are they doing paperwork to facititate the invasion? Are they even still there? And this new law? It doesn't take effect until March. It's not intended to actually slow down the flow. It's intent is to get a federal judge to strike it down and crreate positive polical buzz for himself. My kingdom for an actual conservative governor of Texas!
That’s my impression of Abbott as well. I think that’s what the Texans call all hat and no cattle.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Republican Party has announced they will withdraw from the primary election and caucus instead if Trump is kept off the ballot. The ‘splody heads on MSM are melting down this morning 😂😂
That makes me a little nervous--if the Colorado Republican Party structure is as RINO as many of the state party structures are, they could select Nikki Haley as the winner of their caucus. Having the comparatively small number of people who would vote in that caucus select the winner is just another way of disenfranchising the broader population of Republican voters in Colorado. Direct voting by the pubic in a real Primary is the way to go.
Earlier this year the Colorado Republican Party elected Dave Williams as their chairman. Or, as the media calls him, “Far right MAGA election denier” Dave Williams. He laid the groundwork for moving to a caucus when the 14th amendment case was moving through the courts in case they ruled to bar Trump from the ballot. I hope SCOTUS smacks this nonsense down, but you never know.
Thanks for this important information, MBethamn. If Dave Williams means the MAGA wing of the Republicans has the control of the Republican party apparatus in Colorado (instead of the RINO's), that is fantastic. One down, 49 to go.
Actually, I would be very interested to know, for each state in the U.S., what the current breakdown is--in the Republican party apparatus--between MAGA and RINO. (I know that MAGA already has the strong majority of Republican VOTERS in probably ALL the states, but I'm referring to control of the State and County Republican Executive Committees--the ones that are still mucking things up by voting for Ronna McDaniel as National Chair, and putting structured support behind all the RINO candidates instead of MAGA.)
There may be several states where the MAGA wing is now in control of the party appartus, and many others where it is getting close. If we had those numbers we would know exactly how close we are to MAGA overtaking the RINO/establishment and finally gaining operational control of the Republican Party. If we are close, it would be very heartening to know. If not, we would know exactly which states our efforts need to be focused on.
It seems the Georgia Republican Party has MAGA people in the executive committee evidenced by the fact that Kemp is forming his own coalition to support him.
As an addendum the previous Chainman of the party is under indictment for questioning the 2020 results so there's that. I didn't attend this years convention but I understand from sources who did it was a doozey!
Vicious that they would indict the previous Chairman for questioning the 2020 results. Do the Democrats not know that half the country KNOWS they cheated on the 2020 election, and that we realize that they actually know they did too, and that they know we know! We see exactly what they're doing. They have to keep pretending, because if they admit any of it-- it is all treason and 90% of the country will be outraged.
Anytime I encounter anyone who says that the 2020 election was real and Biden actually won, I ask them to tell me, specifically, 5 of the specific instances that we (Republicans) claim were fraud and tell me why they do they not think those instances are concerning? The truth is, they can't name 5, or even 1 or 2, because their news hasn't covered it, and they have NO idea why we feel there is overwhelming evidence of fraud. They're just repeating what they've been told by the Left media to believe.
But that would be outstanding IF the MAGA folks have indeed taken definitive control of the Georgia Republican Party apparatus, as that alone would have a HUGE impact on the 2024 election. But it sounds like their control may still be tenuous.
Agreed. When Mr. Abbott tells the feds to get out of his state then I will believe he is serious. He waited far too long to act and now it is out of control and his actions worth are minimized. He isn't a bad guy, just late to open his eyes and lead.
Loved every word of today's Surber post about liberal hypocrisy. It was practically searing to read, as it went through one after another flagrant example of liberal hypocrisy with pinpoint precision.
Don refers to the 'radiance of a thousand suns" of the disinfecting sunlight that Texas Governor Abbott has shed on sanctuary city Dems, by busing illegals to them. But Don's own columns, every day, shed a marvelous and invaluable sunshine on the destructive activities being perpetrated by the Left.
My favorite phrase today was "jackasses with robes".
"'...Biden warns that MAGA backers pose grave threat to democracy.'"
That's true, though, and thank God!
I, for one, WANT "democracy" to die that our constitutional republic might be restored.
I want democracy to die in broad daylight.
"Don’t worry because what he lacks in intelligence he makes up in corruption."
Is THAT ever the truth.
"Pray for her."
Indeed.
"...Governor Greg Abbott is the radiance of a thousand suns on the sanctimonious sanctuary cities and their Democrat mayors."
Let's pump the brakes, here - Abbott is doing the right thing busing and flying illegals to sanctuary cities like that cesspool Chicago, but he's hardly a paragon of republicanism.
Yes, he's better than any Democrat, but that bar is pretty low.
"The well of liberal hypocrisy runs as deep as a Hamas tunnel beneath a mosque, school or hospital. Liberals do live like vermin."
...know what's truly horrifying? Your piece, this morning, didn't even scratch the surface.
As the poll is still valid, it's "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", today.
Spare me the faux outrage of Democrats and the media over the "offensive" words of Trump. If you've been on X/twitter or even on substack in the last few years, you've routinely seen people refer to Republicans and Trump supporters as "MAGATS". There's also actual video of US Senator Chuck Schumer saying at a rally that "we're coming for you Kavanaugh" and this was before the assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh.
Read Alinsky 'Rules for Radicals' and 'How to Build a Socialist State'. All the dems are following the playbook. The FBI must have reams of info on the so-called moderates of both parties. The only reason I can think of why they march in lockstep on every effort to destroy America.
On the plus side, many traditional liberals are waking up. My millennial children - who voted for Witmer! - are seeing what's unfolding and are slowly getting the picture. One is on the Trump train and the other is leaning that way. Even my nut-job cousin is claiming she won't vote at all, which is almost as good.
the older people get, the wiser they become (took me until late 20s) personally I grew up in the '70s.. I remember the '68 convention and was in Chicago.. fled in '76
Maybe so. I have 52 first cousins but one stands out. Proudly doesn't have a computer or cell phone, gets her news from The View lol. We don't discuss politics much.
Yep, we are related for sure. My cousin is likewise and always says that the parties are no different from one another. Now that is cognitive ignorance if ever there was.
The old saw is that if it wasn’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards.
The Alinsky method is to accuse the opposition of what you’re already doing. The Democrats (Commies) do this all the time.
The people at the top do not believe what they sell their followers. And that goes for both sides. The reality is it’s us against our government. And that’s how third world countries operate. But that’s where we are. The shenanigans in Colorado just hammer that home. We all need useful simple heuristics to understand what’s going on. The power class is abusing this great country and its people. This is unacceptable.
I hope everybody can enjoy some well earned holiday joy and that the new year brings you and the nation good news. None of us can predict the future. Evil is not invincible. Have faith, especially when it’s difficult. Maintain your sense of humor and your Apache helicopters. Let’s turn this thing around.
There is an old adage that goes, "hypocrisy is the compliment that vice pays to virtue". We are all hypocrites. It's just that Dems take it to a whole new stratosphere.
I guess the Democrats never watched Star Wars. With the latest Colorado stunt they are creating Obi Wan Trump. The 32 Republican states could easily kick crooked demented Biden off their ballots and ensure a DJT win but that would take guts which the Republicans lost with Durham and every other investigation and hope. Obi Wan Trump is better than the real thing in that there is fear he will become: Dictator, Savior and Charles Bronson in one. The real DJT part 2 will be hampered by ego and a viscous press and incompetent RINOs. The only option for the Democrats at this point is the unthinkable one, and if they go there they create both a martyr more powerful than the imaginary Obi wan and open the gates to hell.
Everyone must think alike even though you are supposed to be your "authentic" self at work. What I found out is that I have a lot of unpopular opinions. That's how we are silenced at work. Anyway, I need to stay away from this topic.
Today's brand of liberalism is different than in past ages. It comes straight from hell courtesy of Satan. Slaughtering unborn babies? Pure evil. Sodomy? Pure evil. Marxism? Pure evil. Rape, torture, and murder for a political cause like Hamas? Pure evil. Supporting terrorists like Hamas and justifying their barbarism as a means to an end? Pure evil!
Geez Don, you sure shoveled a massive pile of liberal dreck into today's column...enough to spur a revolution at the ballet box. Run the same column for seven successive days before the election in November. Republicans will brush their teeth with gun powder, surround the polls from sunup to sundown, and dare anybody to stuff a ballot box.
Mr. Surber is over the target and carpet bombing today.People are waking up to the reality of ozeros third term and feeling self inflicted pain from their votes or non-voting apathy.The alphabet msm pisses me off but the fact my taxes pay for NPR is the worst of the worst.As you astutely point out the loonies post their idiotic acts seeking affirmation from the crowd and L.oT.T. reposts driving them even crazier.Keep on it Poca-Man as we are winning.Maga Merry Christmas Surber Nation and FJB.

Hey SL,
So happy to see you. Are you feeling better?
Thanks y’all. Doing much better. Will still be a bit hit or miss, but expect
To be full speed shortly.
I have really missed y’all.
Yay! Glad to hear.
Excellent!
Welcome back Mr. L!
Welcome back Schlongy.Hope all is well my friend.
Welcome back. Was getting worried.
Especially now that the DC cartel is inviting the non-American, illegal tresspasses to join our military as a path to citizenship. They'll think it'll be fun to shoot Americans.

None will face any consequences unless a Trump 47 administration cleans house from top to bottom.
Career bureaucrats will slow-walk if not flat out refuse to carry out Trump's AG's directives.
Even with all that, the partisan federal judges need to be removed/replaced, otherwise, cases will be dismissed before they're even heard.
Career bureaucrats are experts at looking busy while doing nothing.
I might agree with you, unless Trump, on his first day in office, starts closing and abolishing entire federal departments. For example, why do we need so many "intelligence" bureaus? Recent history shows them to be full of people with so little to do, they spend all their time subverting the President.

Glad to see you here. I've missed your thoughtful comments lately.
Thanks. I've been busy with year-end projects. I also had compulsory DEI training this week so I can't say much on those topics.

On a good note, it is now acceptable to be mediocre.

Republicans will brush their teeth with gun powder, surround the polls from sunup to sundown, and dare anybody to stuff a ballot box.
I'd actually like to see this happen...
Amen Rev.
The USPS is not our friend. Vote by mail is our demise.
Mr. Surber is over the target and carpet bombing today.People are waking up to the reality of ozeros third term and feeling self inflicted pain from their votes or non-voting apathy.The alphabet msm pisses me off but the fact my taxes pay for NPR is the worst of the worst.As you astutely point out the loonies post their idiotic acts seeking affirmation from the crowd and L.oT.T. reposts driving them even crazier.Keep on it Poca-Man as we are winning.Maga Merry Christmas Surber Nation and FJB.
I love the picture of Olbermann and boy do I miss his unhinged rants. He was must see tv and the perfect front man for liberals.
Today, liberals are even more deranged and hypocritical than when Olbermann was on the air. They’ve dialed it up to 11. Olbermann would dial it to 12.
Olbermann!! Thanks for putting a name to that face. I had stopped my image search to look up "memory meds" to see if there was any such available. The guy we loved to hate back in the day.
Where have you been?
Have had some health issues. Not serious, but enough to disrupt normal activity. Much better now.
Delighted to have you back!!
Glad you are ok. Glad the brilliant moral center is back.
Get well and get active. Best medicine I can recommend.
When I saw the photo it reminded me of my A.M. ritual after coffee.
