We Need a Little Christmas: 'O Come, O
Come, Emmanuel'
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/14/2023 11:35:35 AM
"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" is my favorite carol of the season. I did not know about it or sing it until I went to Catholic school in the mid-1970s, but since I've discovered it, I have not let it go. I literally grew up in the Christian church, in a hodgepodge of Baptist, Church of God In Christ, and Pentecostal Charismatic churches. "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" is to the Catholic Church what "Go Tell It On The Mountain" is to the Black Church. Come to think of it, I sang that one in Catholic school, too.

A new government-funded study out of Britain, conducted by scientists at the U.K. Center for Ecology and Hydrology, purports to show that “human breathing is contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.” Therefore, the study authors are urging "caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible."
The peer-reviewed study published Wednesday in the Public Library of Science's journal PLOS One investigated greenhouse gas emissions of methane and nitrous oxide in human breath, which allegedly "contribute to global warming."
Well, there it is! I knew it was coming! Are you serious about stopping global warming? Well, then, just stop breathing! What a boon to depopulationists!

A lady in Texas, who was twenty weeks pregnant, has had trouble getting an abortion, telling the press she needed it because her health was in extreme jeopardy.
The media has given this story a lot of coverage. She has gone through the courts in Texas and now she will go out of state to get an abortion.
Shouldn't we wonder why she spent so much time and money challenging the case in Texas instead of just going out of state in the first place if her life was in grave danger?
The United Nations says that millions of women's lives are in jeopardy because of abortion bans in the United States.

A former U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant has said that Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy “got a lot right” about the events of January 6, 2021, during his controversial CNN town hall appearance with moderator Abby Phillip.
Liberal heads melted down after Ramaswamy told CNN’s audience that he believed Jan. 6th was “an inside job.” [Video]
“If you had told me that January 6th was in any way an inside job, the subject of government entrapment, I would’ve told you that was crazy talk. Fringe conspiracy theory. Nonsense,” he told Phillip. “I can tell you now, having gone somewhat deep in this, it’s not.”
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) is warning Americans of an increase in “radicalizing, extreme content” from people such as Michigan Islamic scholar Ahmad Musa Jibril, who posted on X videos in which he praises “jihad” and calls the United States “the vicious enemy of Muslims.”
“You have pretty radicalizing, extreme content happening,” Alberto Fernandez, vice president of MEMRI told Fox News Digital. “This is stuff they uploaded on social media. It’s there for everybody to see.”
“If you’re burning inside in anger and hate for what the Zionists are doing – and you should be if you’re Muslim –
In an extreme move to address the climate “crisis” and the state’s infamous water droughts, California may be looking to utilize “toilet to tap” conversions.
In a tentative vote reportedly planned for next week, the California State Water Resources Control Board may vote on a measure that would allow sewage water to be converted into purportedly safe drinking water.
Under the proposed plan, wastewater that is currently treated and released into oceans and rivers, and used for field irrigation, may be “treated at a higher level” and then sent “back into the main water supply over the course of hours to days,” the Washington Examiner reported.
Ohio legislators have passed a bill to ban so-called “gender-affirming care” for children, and it is now on its way to the governor’s desk.
House Bill 68 was passed late Wednesday as the state becomes one among 20 others to pass similar measures, according to the Washington Post.
The outlet continued:
The Saving Adolescents from Experimentation Act, or Safe Act, prohibits hormone therapy, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for people under 18. Its sponsor, state House member Gary Click (R), told the Statehouse News Bureau in June that the measure was not about “culture wars” but about “medical ethics.”
In early December, the Babylon Bee put out one of its better headlines of the year. It targeted Sen. John Fetterman, poking fun at his recent right-ward shift on a variety of issues. [Tweet]
Apparently, the Bee is going to need to improve its satire because Fetterman is doing his best to make that headline a reality. As RedState reported, he's already taken right-leaning positions on Israel and the bribery scandal engulfing Sen. Bob Menendez. I don't just mean he's put out a statement either. He's repeatedly expressed his viewpoints in a variety of media venues, including going on The View and facing the screeching of Sonny Hostin
The climate at Harvard remains as hostile to the Jewish community as ever, despite the board’s commitment to fighting against antisemitism.
A rabbi at Harvard, Hirschy Zarchi, explained in a video this week how administrators told him to hide the campus menorah each night over the fear that it will be vandalized.
“We in the Jewish community are instructed, ‘We’ll let you have the menorah, you made your point, okay. Pack it up. Don’t leave it out overnight because there will be criminal activity we fear and it won’t look good,'” Zarchi said.
“You know when change is going to happen on this campus?
No matter how clear Americans make it that they value the Second Amendment, Democrats absolutely refuse to stop pushing for greater gun control.
The Biden administration thinks it has found a new loophole to exploit by pushing for gun control at the state level. This would undermine the Second Amendment, but they clearly do not care. They just want what they want, when they want it.
Americans are buying guns at a record pace due to the drastic rise in crime. You would think Democrats would read the room.
Politico reports:
White House announces new state-based gun violence initiative.
Steve Baker is a journalist for TheBlaze.com (Blaze Media) & was formally charged by the FBI for documenting the protest and unrest around the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
This isn’t the first journalist the Biden DOJ has attempted to prosecute, as Owen Shroyer of Info Wars was recently incarcerated for 47 days based on comments he made during his nightly news broadcast. There were several other reporters who have been investigated and charged.
However, Steve Baker’s case is drastically different than Shroyer’s situation. Steve was a well established reporter (not even a Trump supporter at the time) who attended the Trump rally
Pleasant Hill, California – A group of low-life thugs messed with the wrong man earlier this week and were fortunate to escape with their lives.
As KRON 4 News reported, a group of would-be robbers attempted a jewelry heist but came face-to-face with an armed employee who sent them fleeing in terror. The incident occurred at the Estates Consignment Store in Pleasant Hill on Monday.
Surveillance video shows a woman on the phone holding the shop door open so a group of masked thieves can rush in. Sources told KRON 4 News that she may have orchestrated the entire scheme.
Two men stand at the door threatening and holding back the security guard
Investigative journalist Lara Logan released the latest episode in her much anticipated investigation into the January 6, 2021 “Fed-surrection” today on Truth in Media website.
In her latest episode, Logan brings on former Louisiana police officer and current US Congressman Clay Higgins to discuss the events that tragic day back in January 2021.
Representative Higgins is famous for confronting FBI Director Chris Wray back in November 2022 on the confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters INSIDE the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
In November 2023 Rep. Higgins confronted Chris Wray again about the FBI’s confidential human sources that were brought to the January 6, 2021 protests.

Hunter Biden has told friends that he might have to flee the country if Donald Trump is reelected, after already enduring months of deeply personal political attacks and mounting legal woes.
Republicans have put him front and center of their efforts to say his father acted corruptly when he was vice president.
And he could face almost 20 years in prison if convicted of three felony and six misdemeanor charges brought last week. The result is an 81-year-old father desperately worried about the welfare of a son who has battled drink and drugs, and a son who fears more attacks if Trump wins in 2024.
Hunter Biden reportedly threatened to take extreme action and flee the United States of America if voters reelect former President Donald Trump.
The threat represents the often neurotic nature of the president’s son, 53, who faces 42 years in prison for tax and gun charges in an ongoing investigation.
“In recent conversations with family friends, he [Hunter] has worried that he might have to flee the country if Trump were to be elected president again,” two people who spoke with Hunter told Politico’s Jonathan Lemire.
Rudy Giuliani should pay two Georgia election workers $148million for defaming them and accusing them of helping steal the election after a bombshell jury award in Washington, DC Friday.
The panel deliberated for 10 hours on how much the former New York Mayor will have to pay Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and 'Shaye' Moss.
The panel of eight men and women decided to sock it to the former mayor after deliberating over the course to two days, hitting him with punitive damages on top of findings for emotional distress and economic damages.
I am not sure how to feel about this one.
On the one hand, the decision that Southwest Airlines made to give free 2nd or even 3rd seats to “Super Fat” passengers is good for those people and great for the unlucky middle seaters who would have been squeezed by a neighbor whose body encroached into their personal space.
On the other hand, everybody who flies Southwest will be picking up the tab for the otherwise empty seat Southwest couldn’t fill because a passenger with an exceptional appetite decided to fly on their aircraft. (X) After Southwest’s decision has come in the wake of a social media campaign by influencers
A school board member in Virginia took his oath of office with his hand not on a Bible, but on a stack of books containing graphic depictions of gay sex.
Karl Frisch, who will become chairman of the Fairfax County School Board, swapped the Bible for books including “Lawn Boy,” “Gender Queer,” and “Flamer.” His male partner held the books as he placed his left hand on them and his right hand in the air.
“He was sworn in on a stack of the five LGBTQ-themed books most frequently banned by other school systems,” Frisch’s campaign said on his website.

Democrat Sen. Ben Cardin is going to have some explaining to do after one of his staffers was caught making hardcore gay porn inside the Capitol Complex.
The news was first broken by "Cockburn," an anonymous writer over at The Spectator, who shared the tale in rather poetic terms. That story also identified the Senate office involved as belonging to Cardin.
President Joe Biden made another move Thursday to push his electric car agenda and live up to his nickname as 'Amtrak Joe' by pressing federal employees to rent electric vehicles and take more trains.
In a directive Thursday, federal employees were told to rent EVS on official travel when costs are less or equal to comparable gas-powered vehicles and where charging is accessible.
Additionally, federal workers were instructed to take rail for trips less than 250 miles when cost-effective and feasible rather than flying.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, who has been accused of obstructing the Hunter Biden probe, has left her post at the Justice Department, it was reported Thursday as she sat down for an interview with the House Judiciary Committee.
Wolf, who was interviewed behind closed doors Thursday for a transcribed interview, appeared under a subpoena, a day after the full House voted on a party line basis to formalize an impeachment inquiry into the president.
That came on a day when Hunter Biden delivered a blistering statement outside the Capitol but declined to appear for a closed interview with lawmakers, after saying he would appear in a public forum.

The Turkish lawmaker who suffered a heart attack on the floor of parliament after declaring that Israel “will suffer the wrath of Allah” died Thursday, just two days after condemning Istanbul’s policy toward Jerusalem.
Hasan Bitmez, 54, a member of parliament from the opposition Saadet Party, died in Ankara City Hospital, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca told reporters in televised remarks. He is survived by a wife and child.
Shocking video showed Bitmez collapsing at the podium before the general assembly Tuesday, moments after delivering a fiery speech panning President Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling AK Party over Turkey’s ongoing trade with Israel despite the war with Hamas.
The Senate has pushed off its holiday recess to work on a border security and foreign aid package in what could be a breakthrough on immigration policy - that has not been dealt with by Congress in decades.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made 'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and would bolster border security measures in exchange.
One idea under consideration is to allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.
