DAD opens proceedings today with “two lovely lasses”. (JH: The description below the video is from her introductory video … this here is her going on vacation):

“Hi, I’m Taylor. I work on a dairy farm in central Maine. We have about 70 cows. It’s hard work, often for long hours, but I love it. I hope, eventually, to have my own farm. There is just Brent, my boss, and me who work here. I also make videos about life on a dairy farm.”

“Plus our Marion”:

JH: I’ll conclude with two ladies in red:

First on Syria, then:

“Thank goodness they had a security conference this weekend to get all the Experts together to weigh in and advertise the ‘proper course of action.’

Totally coincidentally, Russia, Iran, and Turkey got together this weekend to discuss Syria.

Also coincidentally, the Munich Security Conference was ….”

United Nations “Own the Science”, in cooperation with Google and Wiki. 

UN Under-Secretary General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming speaking about the ‘science’ of climate change at WEF event October 2022.

6. Wall Street Apes

Democrat Rep Adam Schiff just resigned from Congress to run for Senate in California Adam Schiff would only resign if Democrats knew his Senate seat was guaranteed, and it is Last election Adam Schiff’s opponents votes DISAPPEARED and Schiff claimed victory Steve Garvey was leading Adam Schiff with 1.8 million votes.

And just like that, it was cut in half. This is called the Glitch Switch. Adam Schiff got more votes in the end by a razor-thin margin.

Almost statistically impossible:

Adam Schiff- 1,247,723-33.2%
Steve Garvey- 1,220,683- 32.5%

11. Advertisers, middleman, us

https://akhaart.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-ad-problem.html

I watched a few of his, esp. on Ggl crumbling … the advertisers viewpoint … the middlemen and women can take care of themselves … then there are us.

The two behaviours to which I strongly object are not that there even are ads but:

• They’re just plain awful in content … truly bad;
• There is no natural warning … even in a song, suddenly it’s an ad.

With the latter, my immediate reaction is to vow never to use/buy that product/service … trouble is … it includes main services I regularly use. I do see it all crashing as people just become fed up to the back teeth wi’it all.

10. The Advent and Christmas carol list

There’s a compromise on this list in that certain versions of certain carols I scoured youtube, trying dozens of versions … this was some years back, settling on particular versions, e.g. Stille Nacht in that square, plus Juan Diego Flores with Cantique Noel … The Little Drummer Boy must be that version, Joy to the World on the 25th, those Bulgarian chn etc.

Many carols … the version is really up to anyone … what you consider best. Once settled though, I’d like to retain that version every year, maybe to be consistent, to give us some concept of eternity, nothing changing. I’ve tried to do similar with Unherdables formatting … loathe to make wholesale changes, as we have enough of those from globo-psycho … new world order and all that.

So I see it as a mix of old, eternal, unchangeable … plus some tweaking here and there, esp. at your behest … eyes and ears ever open to your suggestions. Certain carols are not going to be run … Jingle Bells, Rudolph, I saw Santa kissing Mommy … at least not until the week following Christmas Day. Idea was to start with light of tone, British Isles theme, gradually more serious up until Christmas Day … Boxing Day needs to be Stephen … after that … whatever.

But that still leaves gaps in the middle as you’ll see on the scrawled chart below and some of those had carols from DAD, some from other chaps … we need some from “our” gals too, from our Americans.

Can anyone remember that one of Dame Kiri te Kanawa, something with saeculorum in it?
