This mother-son duo took both the internet and the school talent show by storm.
Ginny Jenkins, a guidance counselor at Myers Park High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, enlisted her son Scott for a delightful “History of Dance” routine at the school’s talent show on Thursday.
Jenkins showed off some no-joke moves during the performance, as did Scott, who is an accountant by day. (It will not surprise you to learn that he also has his own YouTube channel.)
Anyway, the video of the whole thing is very charming — so charming that, per NBC Charlotte, it was viewed roughly 1.5 million times in 24 hours. Check it out below. Read more…

A hastily sewn together Republican tax bill, dubbed by many on Twitter as the #GOPTaxScam, passed through the U.S. Senate after a critical vote at around 2 a.m. on Dec. 2. Now, as Americans wake up to the news on Saturday morning, social media is awash with responses. People are pissed.
The GOP bill amounts to a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code that also inserts “bonus” changes like a repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate and approval to drill for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
