Ok, this really was one of the best-executed humor videos I’ve seen… and I’ve been around, believe me! Kudos to the talented boys who put this together. 

These kids are great, but I get a bigger kick looking at the faces in the choir behind them. Oh boy!! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.  I sure needed that, too.

The recital begins typically enough. A beautifully decorated stage creates an ideal backdrop for the Christmas scene. Each member of the audience was waiting for what they assumed would be a delightful, although typical seasonal church performance.

The 4 boys arrive on stage all dressed up wearing black pants, white shirts, and a tie. Then it happens! Hilarity ensues! Keep your eye on that one with the vest  – Not that you could miss him and his hilarious antics!

What starts out as a traditional gospel song becomes funnier every minute. The boys obviously are having a great time. The audience is in stitches. These 4 boys were able to worship and joyfully entertain, bringing the congregation to tears of laughter!

Who says there is no longer clean humor that’s hilarious nowadays? These kids are great. They really made my day. Check out this hilarious Christmas performance to share in the fun. Absolutely amazing!!! I could hardly stop laughing!

A recent incident involving a job rejection at TJ Maxx has sparked controversy after a woman accused the retailer of discriminating against her based on her appearance. Ash Putnam, a 23-year-old who goes by @ashxobrien on TikTok, shared her experience of being denied a part-time job at the store due to her tattoos and piercings.

According to Putnam, she applied for the position and received a rejection email a few weeks later. Disheartened by the news, she took to TikTok to express her frustration, starting a conversation about discrimination in the hiring process.

Putnam’s first complaint centered around the impersonal nature of receiving a rejection email rather than a phone call. While this is common practice for large corporations, she felt it was insensitive given her efforts in applying for the job.

Upon visiting her local TJ Maxx to inquire about the rejection in person, Putnam was told by an employee that she lacked sufficient experience for the position. However, she suspected that her tattoos played a significant role in the decision, despite the employee’s assurance to the contrary.

Despite her disappointment, Putnam emphasized that she did not necessarily need the job but was seeking additional income to pay off debt more quickly. However, she found it unfair that her tattoos seemed to be a determining factor in her employability.

Putnam’s visible tattoos include imagery with Satanic connotations, such as a goat representing the deity Baphomet and a Leviathan Cross. While it’s unclear whether hiring managers saw her tattoos during the application process, thousands of TikTok users commented on her post, suggesting that her tattoos likely influenced the decision.

Some commenters argued that visible tattoos could be perceived as unprofessional, especially in customer-facing roles like those at TJ Maxx. Others pointed out the challenge for young adults without prior work experience to secure employment if companies prioritize experience over potential.

The incident raised broader questions about societal attitudes towards body modifications and hiring practices. Putnam questioned why tattoos should be a barrier to employment, especially when many individuals with tattoos are highly capable workers.

While there’s no definitive evidence that Putnam’s tattoos directly led to her rejection, the incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding appearance-based discrimination in the workplace. As discussions continue, it’s essential to consider how hiring practices can be more inclusive and equitable for all candidates, regardless of their appearance.

People in a nearby church were treated to a spectacular and surprising event when a five-month-old baby started singing on the spot, touching everyone’s hearts.

People were shocked when, during a normal Sunday service, the baby, who was being held by a proud parent, added an angelic voice to the choir’s songs. When the congregation got together to pray, they had no idea what an amazing thing they were about to see. When the choir started to sing, the baby, who was just learning to sit up on his or her own, added sounds that were more harmonious than normal baby babble. It was like the child was born with a natural ability to play music.

The baby’s sweet sounds filled the church with awe and joy. The parents enjoyed the moment and were moved by the innocence and beauty of the surprise song.

Everyone there will always remember the baby’s short but magical performance, which reminded everyone of the endless wonder and magic that can be found in everyday life. Check it out.

A new species of invading spiders, capable of flying like Spider-Man, is about to take over New York, so Peter Parker has some company! 😬

Residents of New York and New Jersey are preparing for the impending arrival of the Joro spider, an enormous, eight-legged, deadly creature that is well-known for its capacity to parachute across cities.

They are en masse and are moving straight toward the Northeast along the Eastern Seaboard.

Take a look at this: female Joro spiders can stretch their legs up to 4 inches, and they are known to form balloon-like formations in their silk webs to help them float in the air.

That’s a characteristic that makes them easy to identify, and their bright yellow and gray bodies make them visible even when they’re not jumping out of your nightmares.

The Joro is an invasive species of spider that originated in East Asia and was first observed in North America in 2010; it is possible that they traveled here via shipping containers.

Invading Florida, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Maryland, they have since done so before.

According to experts, the northeast environment is ideal for Joro spiders to call home, and it won’t be long until they begin to appear in New York City and other areas.

These spiders seem to be well suited to the city life; they have been seen hanging out of street lamps and telephone poles, much like the superhero.

More bad news: although they are poisonous, experts claim that neither humans nor our pets will be killed by them because their primary prey is other spiders and insects.

Even so, it’s hard to look beyond these extremely spooky crawlers, especially when they’re flying toward you!

In a direct letter to parents, a retired teacher didn’t mince words. Many are now praising it, with many stating that the final sentence is dead on. I just want to know whether you agree.

Lisa Roberson, a retired teacher, made headlines once she chose to write a letter concerning the atmosphere in today’s public school classroom. Of course, there are so many people who have an opinion about things like the public school system, childcare, and education, but this teacher really made waves as she spoke from years of experience.
Many like to question why so many American students seem to be falling behind the education of other nations, this retired teacher penned her letter and submitted it to her local newspaper, which printed her opinion in black and white. The former teacher’s words had no grey area in it at all, as Lisa blatantly put it all on the line, calling out what she believes is the real problem behind failing students.

“When you look at schools that are ‘failing,’ look at the parents and students. Do parents come to parent nights? Do they talk with teachers regularly? Do they make sure their children are prepared by having the necessary supplies? Do they make sure their children do their homework?” Lisa Roberson asked rhetorically.
“Do they have working telephone numbers? Do the students take notes in class? Do they do their homework? Do the students listen in class, or are they the sources of class disruptions?” Lisa continued before concluding, “When you look at these factors, you will see that it is not schools that are failing but the parents. Teachers cannot do their jobs and the parents’ job. Until parents step up and do their job, nothing is going to get better!”

Of course, the truth hurts, so for some, these words might sting a lot more than they do others. But, Lisa Roberson is right — at least to a point. A child’s success cannot be left up to the teacher alone. The parent must be present and, most importantly, they must parent. Although a teacher can help reinforce it, some things must first be taught at home. For starters, it is not the school’s job to teach our children fundamental manners and respect or be the first to introduce them to the concept of responsibility.
Those basic principles should be learned at home, taught by the parents before the child ever steps foot into a school classroom. Teachers are there to educate the children on things like reading, writing, and math. That simply can’t be done if the child doesn’t know how to behave. It might be hard to hear, but if a child is failing, before a parent points the finger anywhere else, they should do some self-reflection to make sure they are living up to their own expectations and responsibilities. Parents are a child’s first teachers, after all.

Retired United States Army First Class Sergeant Luciano Yulfo was being honored recently at a New York Knicks game in Madison Square Garden when something happened that he was never expecting.

When Yulfo was brought down to the court, he had no idea the team’s Hoops For Troops had a big surprise for him!

During his 36 years in the military, Yulfo served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He medically retired from active duty in 2014 after he was injured while deployed in Afghanistan. After being injured, Yulfo was stationed at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for 2 years. He finally retired from the military in April of 2016, 36 years after he enlisted.

As soon as Yulfo got back to the U.S., he applied for a service dog to help him deal with the injuries he suffered overseas, but he found himself placed on a waiting list for 18 months. When the Knicks heard about this, they knew they had to do something to help him.

Between quarters, the team brought Yulfo onto the court and gave him a personalized Knicks jersey. They then left him speechless by giving him a new service dog!

An organization called Paws of War trains and places rescue dogs with U.S. military veterans, and they decided to give a dog named Murphy to Yulfo! Each dog is trained specifically for the needs of the individual veteran they are serving, so Murphy is already completely prepared to help Yulfo!

Yulfo was overwhelmed by this gesture and he immediately dropped to his knees to greet the dog. It is clear that these two will be best friends for many years to come!

One of America’s most beloved couples is definitely Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. They have three children together and have been together for nearly thirty years.

Following the release of some photos of their 27-year-old son, many people have been thinking about him!

Michael Consuelos, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ firstborn child, is turning 27 today. The happy parents celebrated by going down memory lane and sharing some sentimental photos of their kid taken over the years.

The hosts of Live With Kelly and Mark shared a sweet video on Instagram that included pictures and footage of their first child. “Happy 27th birthday to the founding member of our family @Michael,” the post said.Consuelos, you started the process, and we adore you! 🎉

The song “Move On Up” by Curtis Mayfield started playing in the background while pictures of Michael from his birth to the present day appeared. A number of his life moments with other significant figures, including his parents and grandparents, were included in the video.

Later images in the film also included Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 21, who are Michael’s younger siblings.

In 1996, Ripa and Consuelos tied the knot. Under the post, friends, family, and fans congratulated the couple on the birthday of their kid.

“I adore this. “Happy Birthday, Mikey!” said Andy Cohen.

“The cutest,” Nia Long continued.

Fans of Michael’s parents often remark on how much Michael resembles his father, Mark Consuelos, whenever the parents post a photo of Michael. “Whoa! Michael resembles a younger Mark immaculately, someone commented.

“Gorgeous OMG Another person said, “Michael is exactly like his dad.”

A fan exclaimed, “OMG your son and husband are identical twins!” in shock.

Following in his parents’ footsteps, Michael started a career in the entertainment sector. In addition to producing other shows, such as the Real Housewives series, Summer House, and Winter House, he co-starred with his father as an actor in Riverdale.

The striking resemblance between Michael and his well-known father is evident. How do you feel? Tell us in the comments below.

Huge respect for all our Military personnel. We owe them our freedom, a debt we can never repay, but one we can easily show our appreciation for — and not just on Memorial or Veteran’s day, but every day.

This is an extraordinary rendition of God Bless America unlike any you’ve ever heard. Of course, you’d expect me to say that, but this little gem you’re about to watch will hit you with a rousing triple-whammy of goosebumps, pride, and dynamite energy. This video is a reminder of why we love and respect our military so much.

When first heard about this singing soldier, I knew he was going to be special from the get-go, but I didn’t know just how special. I think there’s maybe once or twice in your life will you experience something so extraordinarily moving like this. You’re going to want to salute this US Marine and shake his hand by the time he’s finished his powerhouse performance Of course, you’ll feel mighty proud of our country, too.

“God Bless America” has a lot of history behind it. It was originally penned by Irving Berlin as a prayer. It was in 1938 when the “Cher” of the time, Kate Smith gave life to the prayer through song. If you don’t know about this amazing lady, you should. Kate was known as the First Lady of Radio. Wiki says, “She had a radio, television, and recording career spanning five decades, which reached its pinnacle in the 1940s. Smith became known as The Songbird of the South after her enduring popularity during World War II and contribution to American culture and patriotism.”

Irving Berlin needs no introduction. His name is synonymous with the song, but he has an amazing back-story, too. He was originally born “Israel Beilin”. He moved to America with his family from Russia when he was just five years old. Before the age of 30, he wrote hundreds of songs, many becoming major hits.

During his 60-year career, he wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the pieces for 20 Broadway plays and 15 Hollywood films, with his songs being nominated eight times for Academy Awards. Knowing about that industrious and successful American makes “God Bless America” even more special I think.

Watch this video below and feel the palpable pride and electric energy radiating from this man. Watch for that amazing moment at the 1:48 mark. It will make you want to stand up. God Bless America, indeed… and AMEN.

This is how you coach basketball. It begins before you even touch the ball, it begins with respect and gratitude that you even have a freedom to play, something that these future NBA stars wouldn’t be able to do if the boys their age didn’t pause their education and fight wars for it.

Singing a national anthem before any big sporting event has become show business. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW

I don’t mind Lady Gaga singing it but these kids gotta learn why it’s being performed and why they should respect it. The lesson Virginia Tech basketball coach Buzz Williams gave to his players will make you cry.
