The Three best National Anthems listed in Order of greatness
1. The Star Spangled Banner - an old Irish drinking ditty sung to new Words
2. La Marseillaise
Verse 1:
Let's go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!
Refrain:
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
3. God Save the King
A bit OT
Recently I’ve been hearing ads on the radio promoting “equal rights” for the citizens of DC.
No politician’s names are mentioned but the call is for citizens to contact their Sens and Reps to push this.
ICBW, but I see this as another attempt at DC statehood.
Is there a bill pending that involves this?
I live relatively close to DC and though the small fm “classic rock” station I listen to is barely able to keep up with local news, this ad comes out many times each day. Is it just my proximity to DC (170 mi direct...270 over the road) or are folks around the nation getting this plea also?
Thanks for giving me a platform to ask and a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Lotta package delivery problems over the holidays.I had some steaks sent to me by a friend and they claimed they arrived friday,problem is they arrived Saturday after we were already closed for the weekend.
I got them but they left them outside the door which was not good. the regular driver would never have done that.
There was a lot of chatter last week about slamming through statehood, primarily for Puerto Rico. D.C. was caught up in the discussion.
Deliveries are maxed out this week. Cuts time spent per delivery in half.
Thanks for the response.
This ad has been running, with no attribution, for a week or two here. As I said, no names, parties or organizations are mentioned. I would call it an excersize in passive aggression and was wondering if it was a national campaign.
Merry Christmas
So the New jobs added are for the Extra Amazon door delivery boys - are these the latest version of the Indian Chay-wallas
You just asked the big question.
How much,how down and dirty will the nasty dems get before they lose power.
Here's a pretty good summary from the examiner:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/five-things-democrats-must-complete-before-they-lose-power-in-january
Democrats are scrambling to achieve a number of legislative and policy items before the current Congress adjourns and they lose control of the House.
Lawmakers have a lengthy to-do list to complete before the end of the week, including a funding package that could result in a government shutdown if both parties can't come to an agreement. However, Democrats and Republicans have made headway on some legislative priorities, such as the passage of a same-sex marriage bill that is on its way to President Joe Biden's desk for his approval and the National Defense Authorization Act that passed the House last week.
CLOCK IS TICKING FOR CONGRESS TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
But on other legislative priorities, Congress is falling behind — making little progress on “must-pass” legislation, threatening to keep lawmakers and their staffers in Washington, D.C., right up until the Christmas holiday.
Here's a breakdown of what Congress needs to get done in the coming days.
Government spending bill
Democrats are rushing to push their omnibus spending bill through Congress to fund the government for the next year, with only four days until the current funding runs out and a temporary shutdown ensues. The federal government is currently funded through Friday thanks to a continuing resolution passed by Congress in September.
Negotiations over the annual spending bill stalled late last week as both sides disagreed on how to keep the government running, with Democrats seeking to approve a bipartisan omnibus bill that would last until the fiscal year ends and Republicans pushing for a continuing resolution that would fund the government at the same levels until January. A growing number of GOP lawmakers have begun to push for the latter option, hoping to have more influence once they take control of the House.
Lawmakers have still not agreed on a final top-line number, with party leaders disagreeing over $25 billion worth of non-defense spending, according to Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), one of the lead negotiators. Without that final number, appropriators can't finalize the legislation for congressional approval.
Democrats were expected to release a draft of their proposed budget on Monday in an attempt to restart negotiations, although reports have indicated some progress in bipartisan negotiations that have prompted lawmakers to change course.
Trump's tax returns
Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee must also decide what to do with former President Donald Trump's tax returns, wrapping up a years-long effort to obtain the documents before the current lame-duck session ends this year.
The committee gained access to Trump's tax returns after a decision from the Supreme Court last month granted House lawmakers to obtain the records to investigate whether tax law surrounding presidents should be amended. Lawmakers on the House Ways and Means Committee have been requesting access to the documents from the IRS since 2019.
Access to the tax returns will allow House Democrats to determine whether the IRS audit of the former president was conducted "fully and appropriately,” although it's not clear if they'll be able to complete their review before Republicans take control of the lower chamber.
Jan. 6 committee
Members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol are rushing to complete the final report of their investigation, as well as make any criminal referrals before the panel is expected to be dissolved by Republicans next year. The committee has indicated it will release its report on Dec. 21, just before Congress adjourns.
The panel's final report is expected to focus largely on Trump and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including eight chapters that include evidence shared during the committee's public hearings over the summer, according to reports. The final report will aim to describe the former president's “seven-part plan” to undermine the 2020 election and secure a second White House term, according to Politico.
The report is set to be released next week during a Dec. 21 meeting, at which the panel is also likely to vote on criminal referrals.
Immigration reform
Democrats are also making one final push to salvage the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and establish protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants, hoping to come to a solution before the end of the lame-duck session.
Democrats have long called for a permanent solution to the DACA program, which allows more than 830,000 immigrants, or “Dreamers,” who were brought to the United States as children, to live and work in the country without fear of being deported. Republicans have opposed expanding protections for Dreamers unless Democrats agree to increase security at the southern border and limit the number of asylum-seekers who are allowed into the country, compromises that lawmakers on the Left are unlikely to make.
To pass expanded protections under DACA, Democrats need at least 10 Republicans in the Senate to back their legislation. At least four or five have expressed interest, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said last month, and he has indicated Democratic leaders are working to get more to pass legislation before the end of the year.
Debt ceiling
Before the end of the current Congress, Democrats are renewing their calls to address the nation's debt limit and raise the ceiling to avoid defaulting on the country's loans. However, lawmakers have not yet scheduled or planned for a vote on related legislation before the end of the year, instead focusing on other “must-pass” bills.
Democrats are seeking to make headway on the debt ceiling sooner rather than later, hoping to prevent Republicans from using the debt limit to their advantage once they take control of the House. New lawmakers have also lamented they don't want to inherit the problem for their first term on Capitol Hill.
The debt ceiling limits how much the U.S. can borrow to pay off its debts, meaning if the maximum is not lifted, the country could default and cause a shock to the economy.

The bigger question is the budget! How crazy will they get, will they try and pass dc and pert Rico,what about amnesty for a zillion illegals,hard to tell what they will do. Probably the biggest hurdle will be the budget. They will try and sneak in another 30 odd billion for Ukraine since it's where all the money is laundered and they like dark dough.
It's probably going to be done on a basis of do we have the cajones to shut down the govt. which is really them shutting it down only their media blames us.
This will be a good measure of just how good the blogosphere and twitter are doing in putting truths out.
As I recall, Puerto Ricans were given 3 options in a referendum this week.
Statehood, independence, or to continue as a territory. I’ve not heard results, but am very curious. Anyone heard more ?
Statehood ( and 2 new D senators) has long been a goal for Ds but I’m not sure how the elections have changed the calculus.
Well deserved re the signature
History will not look,back kindly on this era. Killing Kennedy regardless of source was the first step to protecting the cabal, the coup Re Trump a shotlesscequivalentbthecdifference being all of us were affected N.Y. the lockdowns
Barr proved to be nothing but wind and pious pence a pure weasel
The Dems play major league hard ball. The pubs T ball and are afraid to take a swing
Why does Martha raddatz always look like someone just shaved her cat and turpentined its ass?
So true. The first big test post Musk Twitter acquisition. It still won't be a fair fight with media tipping scales, but we'll see.

These sum up the issues facing the SENATE Rs, Will they be Americans, or will they be Uniparty first
That was my impression also....DC statehood on the “to do list” before this congress ends. That’s why I’m interested in whether this ad was local or national. If it IS a national push, citizens who realize how harmful it is have to be made aware of this churning through the swamp at breakneck speed. Giving the GOP critters the excuse, “... well, the only thing I heard from my constituants was in favor of giving DC full representation” is not good. Besides, the Republicans in DC seem never to be at a loss for excuses for their back stabbing votes. We don’t have to hand them more.
Getting ready for some precious family time - no poisonous politics today. My 2 brothers & their wives are coming over to join mom & me for a fried oyster feast/brunch. This was our traditional Christmas morning breakfast after opening presents & before church when we were kids.
My dad requested an oyster dinner for his 100th birthday, but he fell Saturday before last & broke his hip - successful surgery was last Monday. He is currently in inpatient rehab & after we eat, we’ll all go see him. His actual birthday is tomorrow, but we were going to celebrate today since one brother had to come from out of town & has to be back at work tomorrow.
We feel very blessed with all that has happened since his accident - great docs & nurses who have gone an extra mile for him more than once. Hospitalist & PT impressed with activity level prior to fall, arm strength & attitude so they recommended him for inpatient rehab - 3 hours a day & he’s getting it both days this weekend, too. I told hospitalist first time I talked to him: NO nursing home. Period. He’s coming home to us - then inpatient was mentioned as an option. All I can say is God is good and we cherish every day with dad.
A blessed holiday season & Merry Christmas to all! ~ Q
LYING THEIR ASSES OFF!!
