This is an old “classic” to us and even during the year, like in July, we will watch this video of a flash mob in a mall. We just like it. It is not overproduced. The voices are great and the people seem to be having fun.
We discussed the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict a little and the false narrative of many in the media and on the left last week. Rittenhouse was acquitted of the charges against him after what may have been the worst prosecution in recent memory.
Although Rittenhouse was found not guilty and justice was served, that doesn’t mean that there was “peace” in the land. The night the verdict announcement, people rioted across the land. After all, how dare a 17 year old kid defend himself against three violent attackers?
Apparently those people believed Rittenhouse should have just rolled over and died.
However, now there is new part to the story. Rittenhouse wants to attend the Arizona State University in person. He is currently enrolled online but wants to go to ASU in person.

Lieutenant William Kelly is a former police officer for the Norfolk Police Department who served for 19 years.
The father of three and with a wife facing health issues was terminated from his job for donating $25 to the Kyle Wittenhouse defense fund.
Kelly, 42, said he donated to a GiveSendGo account to benefit Rittenhouse, now 18, at the end of summer 2020. He registered an account using his official police department email, but said his donation was anonymous.
A message included with the donation stated: “God Bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You’ve done nothing wrong. Every rank-and-file police officer supports you. Don’t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.”

This seems to us to be a nice mix of a traditional song with a very modern flare.
The Trans-Siberian Railroad should make another appearance in our Christmas Music Extravaganza later in the month.
As part of the continuing saga of the 7 year old child with Down Syndrome whose parents are suing the Brevard School Board, the attorney for the couple, Nicholas P. Whitney of the law firm Anderson Glenn, LLC., released a statement concerning the release of the Indian Harbor Beach Police Department’s investigation into the incident where the parents, supported by State Representative Randy Fine, allege the child was abused by the school district and teachers at her school.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Although we have done so in the past, we are not going to continue to use the child’s name in our coverage of this. No matter how this all shakes down, we feel the child is a pawn in a political game and we will not further any damage to her or her reputation going forward. In that some states do not allow the publishing of the names of minor abused children, we are going to err on the side of caution and not use the child’s name as there are charges of abuse in this case. We won’t edit the statement by others)
Here is the statement as seen on Fine’s Facebook page.
As we often do, we want to fiske Whitney’s response.

“If this doesn’t do something for you, you’re not hooked up right.”
Amen.
We have a confession…..one of our writers / contributors says they always wanted to learn dance like Snoopy.
It appears the Salvation Army is hearing the cries of outrage concerning their “racism” training and advocacy.
They have written an “apology” of sorts:
The holidays are a welcome reminder of the things we are grateful for—and for the power of service on behalf of those who are less fortunate. The Salvation Army mission statement clearly outlines the nature of our service: to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The beliefs that motivate our service are based solely on the Bible, and that will never change.
