“Blue Christmas” is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. It is a tale of unrequited love during the holidays and is a longstanding staple of Christmas music, especially in the country genre.
The song was first recorded by Doye O’Dell in 1948,[3] and was popularized the following year in three separate recordings: one by country artist Ernest Tubb; one by bandleader Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra; and one by bandleader Russ Morgan and his orchestra (the latter featuring lead vocals by Morgan and backing vocals by singers credited as the Morganaires).

You couldnât really make this stuff up if one tried..
Just caught a segment with Don Lemon and 3 âblack republicansâ sent out with marching orders from the buffoon and his folks, to âtake the gloves offâ and take down Omarosa..
The premise: that these 3, unlike Omarosa, are true âideologicalâ believers .. But these âtrue believersâ like others, were specifically blocked by Omarosa from getting gigs to âadvocate the black perspectiveâ, with the treasonous buffoon and his Alt-Right cohort, screwing over America in general, and black folks specifically..
LOL..
Please someone find the video if you can..
You canât decide if you want to laugh or cry..

Here are all the ways that Alabama tried to disenfranchise voters during Tuesday’s special election.
2:05 PM – 14 Dec 2017
…
First, Alabama appears to have illegally booted a number of voters onto the “inactive” list for failing to respond to a state mailer, in likely violation of the National Voter Registration Act.
…
Alabama then required these “inactive” voters, many of whom voted last year, to fill out a lengthy form that required their “county of birth”âanother likely NVRA violation.
…
The state also failed to teach poll workers how to deal with “inactive” voters. The correct procedure is to simply let them vote after identifying themselves. But some poll workers refused to give them a ballot.
…
Other poll workers illegally forced “inactive” voters to fill out a provisional ballot; these voters have until Friday at 5 p.m. to plead with the probate office to count their votes.
…
Police officers also staked out at least one polling place in a majority-black community and allegedly checked every voter’s ID for outstanding warrantsâa classic voter intimidation tactic. (When election monitors showed up, the officers promptly left.)
…
In another majority-black community, police officers staked out the turn lane into a polling place and pulled over every driver who made an illegal left turn. They spent nearly an hour writing a ticket for one woman who was on her way to vote.
…
Republican Secretary of State John Merrill also refused to prepare for high voter turnout despite multiple polls indicating widespread voter enthusiasm. Many polling places were understaffedâespecially those in majority black communities.
…
One polling place literally ran out of ballotsâthe state simply hadn’t provided enough. Others faced extraordinarily long lines and excessive wait times. Many had just 2 or 4 poll workers.
…
These problems disproportionately affected Democratic-leaning counties and majority-black precincts. It is a testament to the tenacity of Jones’ supporters that they were able to elect him in spite of this state-sanctioned chicanery.

The effort to normalize this Putin-propelled treasonous travesty that should not even be in the Peopleâs House in the first place, is something..
There should not be talks of âteamâ .. diverse or no..
We should be hastening the permanent end to this entire farce.. and the ridding of the greedy, treasonous crazy that has besieged us..
With the never ending shenanigans and endless ridiculous gimmicks …âribbon cuttingâ with an oversized pair of golden scissors, of piles of paper representing the âcutting of regulationsâ… As if that is somehow a good thing …and the necessary and significant protections offered consumers, children, adults, the country and our world as a whole, thanks to these regulations, arenât in fact the measure of a more advanced, educated, informed and consequently, a healthier, safer, fairer world and people…

He is one of the most donor-beholden and acquiescent of the lot..

No way heâs letting the down on their tax cuts..

Iâll say it again, Omarosa may be the pits, and an opportunist who inserted herself into a treasonous, mediocre, racist set-up with a megalomaniac buffoon principal she struck up a dubious relationship with..
Iâve paid attention, watched and listened very closely, since the weird campaign started 2 years ago, and until now …And I can categorically say that even in all the crazy, and even with some so-called âalliesâ bashing and insulting and attacking, not once has Omarosa ever badmouthed or attacked the Obamas.. or black folks as a collective ..never..
Which ironically is much more than I can say for some of the very gleeful folks now running around ramping up the racial insults and stereotypes in attacking her and pushing for her to be burnt at the stake..
Same folks who consistently treat as âdelicateâ and as merely an âinnocent bystanderâ ..and quick to jump in to excuse, protect and defend the âhonorâ of the very complicit, vapid, lying, hollow, racist Birther 3rd wife who not only is a willing accomplice of many years to the geriatric megalomaniac buffoon whose pocket books she burrowed her way into …And for many, many years, the direct beneficiary of some of his ill-gotten spoils which she continues to enjoy uninterrupted to this day..
Same folks who still treat daughter-wife with kid gloves too, even as they are very careful how they address her, and how the restrainedly and sheepishly pretend to âtackleâ her assessed sins ..
The vast difference in the language used for Omarosa, and that used for the treasonous buffoonâs brazenly complicit 3rd wife and daughter-wife, worlds apart..
I refuse to participate in the continued selective dehumanization of black women.. And in this case, one who may have strayed to the dark side, but very consciously, never ever attacked the Obamas.. or threw black folks under the bus in general.. the stark difference between Omarosa ..and Ben and Candy Carson, and that gawdawful Paris Dennard..

Farenthold should never have been elected to Congress in the first place because he’s an immature buffoon with a frat-boy mentality. I’m not buying his excuse that he’d never run a congressional office before. Any mature adult should know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate workplace behavior. I think the truth is that he won the seat, it went to his head, and he went wild with the new power he’d acquired. I’m glad the persons he abused and sexually harassed decided to expose his corrupt, lying behind.

I can well imagine that what bothers him the most is that it is black women who really possess and live true Christian values. He has long run a religious con game that has convinced most Alabamians that he’s a Christian and lives the life of a Christian when he isn’t, and doesn’t. Black women in Alabama have shown him that being a Christian involves more than just talking about Jesus—it involves walking the walk, a walk we know very well.

â..Maranda Richmond, now 21, told KyCIR that Johnson, whoâd been her pastor and a close family friend, sexually abused her in 2012 when she was 17. She said sheâd been spending the night with Johnsonâs daughter when the pastor, apparently intoxicated, returned home and groped her breasts while she was sleeping on a sofa.
âHe stuck his tongue in her mouth. Then, he forced his hands down her pants, underneath her underwear, and penetrated her with his finger,â the report said.
Richmond later reported the incident to police, but investigators closed the case months later without interviewing Johnson. In the aftermath of the KyCIR report, the Louisville Metro Police Department said this week that detectives had reopened the investigation.
Johnson, who narrowly defeated Democratic incumbent Linda Belcher in an election last year, had been asked to resign from his seat before for posting racist content on his Facebook page, including images depicting former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.
At a news conference Tuesday, Johnson vehemently denied the claim of sexual assault and said he would not resign…â
