Prince William cracked a few jokes during his first public speech following his father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis and his wife’s abdominal surgery. The 41-year-old royal family member‚ who is first in line to the British throne‚ made the remarks during a pre-dinner speech at a fundraiser for London’s Air Ambulance Charity’s new fleet of helicopters. The “Up Against Time” fundraising appeal was attended by “Top Gun: Maverick” star Tom Cruise. The Duke of Wales had previously taken time off following his wife’s surgery. King Charles also had surgery last month for an enlarged prostate‚ which was when his doctors diagnosed him with cancer. “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you‚ also‚ for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father‚ especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all‚” Prince William said. He followed with a joke‚ saying‚ “It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus‚ so I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all.” The royal went on to discuss the goals of the organization and followed up with a shout-out to Cruise. “Here in London‚ the current aircraft have served magnificently‚” he said. “But our capital city needs a new fleet. And we are Up Against Time. The clue really is in the Appeal’s name. By September‚ we need the two new red birds — decked with the latest kit such as night vision — in our skies.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I should also take this opportunity to give a mention to my — our — fellow pilot‚ Tom Cruise‚” Prince William added. “Tom‚ huge thanks for supporting us tonight. And Tom‚ if you wouldn’t mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next ‘Mission Impossible‚’ it would be appreciated. We have all seen on our screens that — how can I put it — you seem to have a different take on ‘normal wear and tear’ to the rest of us. It’s not the kind that buffs out.” William’s younger brother‚ Prince Harry‚ was recently in London visiting King Charles after news of his diagnosis broke. According to reports‚ the siblings did not visit with each other at that time.

EAGLE PASS‚ TX — Montana Governor Greg Gianforte says President Joe Biden has failed to do his job as president when it comes to the border‚ leaving both Texas and the rest of the country to deal with the consequences. Gianforte‚ who represents one of the northernmost states in the country‚ said distance from the southern border doesn’t matter anymore. He’s traveled to the southern border four times‚ and says the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs from Mexico has a real impact on Montana. “We’ve been able to shut down Montana Meth‚ but now we have Mexican Meth in Montana along with the fentanyl‚” Gianforte told The Daily Wire yards away from the Rio Grande‚ after a tour of the border with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and twelve other governors. “It’s breaking up families‚ it’s increasing violent crime and we need to secure our border and put it to an end.” Montana Governor Greg Gianforte Explains Why He Turned His Attention To The Southern Border Gianforte lambasted Biden for his failure to do his job on the border‚ and said the president has the tools to restore order immediately without any new legislation in Congress‚ where a bipartisan immigration compromise bill appears to be headed for defeat. “I think we got here because Joe Biden failed to do his job as president‚” Gianforte said. “He has the ability right here today to reinstate the remain in Mexico policy‚ to continue building the wall‚ to enforce laws that are already on the books.” “Joe Biden doesn’t need Congress‚ he’s telling people he does but he doesn’t‚” he added. “He has the ability right now to make the changes that are necessary to help secure the border.” Against the backdrop of a border crisis marked by over 10 million illegal immigrants crossing since Biden assumed office in 2021‚ Republican governors across the country have voiced support for Abbott’s decision to take matters into his own hands to secure Texas’s border with Mexico. The governors argue that every state is now a border state‚ and Texas shouldn’t bear sole responsibility for doing the job the Biden administration has neglected. “Governor Abbott has been stepping up where the federal government is dropping their duty‚ so states are coming together‚ working together‚ to help do the job of the federal government until they decide to do it‚” Gianforte said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Gianforte said Abbott’s success in lowering the number of crosses in the Eagle Pass area from thousands to single digits should be an example for steps that can be taken to end the border crisis. “They have virtually shut down crossings here in Eagle Pass‚” Gianforte said after a tour of a border detention center that just weeks ago was flooded with thousans of migrants. “In the last couple of weeks‚ since they’ve taken the actions here to secure the border‚ they’ve had single digit crossings each day.” Texas authorities denied a request from the Biden administration to hand over control of the park to Border Patrol‚ with the Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety instead maintaining control and even reinforcing existing border barriers with additional razor wire.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the country’s chief military commander on Thursday‚ just days after hinting at the shakeup as he looks to “reset” the Ukrainian military’s struggling war effort against Russia. Zelensky first announced his decision to fire General Valerii Zaluzhnyi in a Telegram post‚ writing the two met and “discussed what kind of renewal the Armed Forces of Ukraine need‚” CNN reported. “The time for such a renewal is now‚” Zelensky said. In his own post on Telegram‚ Zaluzhnyi added‚ “The tasks of 2022 are different from those of 2024. Therefore‚ everyone must change and adapt to the new realities as well. [We] have just met with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. It was an important and serious conversation. It was decided that we need to change our approaches and strategy.” Zelensky hinted at the massive shakeup to his country’s military earlier this week‚ saying that “a reset” and “new beginning” were necessary to renew Ukraine’s war effort against a Russian army that recently launched another offensive. The Ukrainian military is struggling with a weakened force as the war nears the two-year mark later this month. Ukrainian forces are struggling to push back the renewed Russian push as it faces dwindling numbers of ammunition and troops‚ The New York Times reported. General Zaluzhnyi‚ a popular figure in the country‚ said in a November interview with The Economist that the war had reached a “stalemate‚” warning “there will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” Zaluzhnyi’s comments angered Zelensky’s office‚ which said that such criticism only helped Russia. The general also slammed Zelensky for his hesitancy to up the number of draftees to 500‚000‚ which Zaluzhnyi said was necessary “to improve the manpower levels of our armed forces‚” CNN reported. The military shakeup is yet another setback for Ukraine’s military leadership. Last August‚ Zelensky fired every single head of the country’s regional military enlistment offices over allegations of abuse of power‚ fraud‚ and corruption. Earlier in 2023‚ another one of Ukraine’s top generals was dismissed‚ and numerous officials were fired or resigned after they were hit with allegations of corruption. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Zaluzhnyi’s firing comes as Zelensky hopes for another aid package from the U.S. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill seek to hash out a deal to send support to Ukraine and Israel. President Joe Biden has urged Congress to pass a bipartisan bill attaching aid to Ukraine and Israel alongside funding to address the border crisis‚ but Republican leaders in the House shot down the proposal‚ saying that it “fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration.”

The office of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) announced on Thursday that the lawmaker’s battle against blood cancer is going well and he plans to return to Capitol Hill next week‚ potentially giving House Republicans the key vote they need to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a second try. Scalise has been out of Washington and working remotely for several weeks to undergo a stem cell transplant and then recover from the treatment. His absence has effectively made a slim GOP majority in the House even narrower. But even with Scalise expected to make a comeback‚ the margin is poised to change again with a special election to fill a vacancy in New York scheduled for next week. “Leader Scalise has successfully completed his autologous stem cell treatment and has been medically cleared to resume travel. He is in complete remission and will be returning to Washington next week for votes‚” Scalise’s office said in a brief statement. “He is thankful for his positive prognosis‚ and for the support of his medical team‚ family‚ colleagues‚ and fellow Louisianans.” Scalise was the sole missing vote when the GOP-led House held a vote on Tuesday to impeach Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis. Three GOP lawmakers broke ranks and joined all voting Democrats‚ resulting in a tie that would have made the effort a failure. But GOP Vice Chairman Blake Moore (R-UT) changed his vote to oppose the resolution‚ a “procedural” move allowing the House to consider it. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told reporters on Wednesday that House Republicans will prevail the next time the chamber considers the articles of impeachment. He also said “democracy is messy” and talked about how the “razor thin margin” House Republicans have over the Democrats makes for a challenge when considering measures on the floor. “Sometimes when you’re counting votes and people show up when they’re not expected to be in the building‚ that changes the equation‚” Johnson said‚ alluding to Rep. Al Green (D-TX)‚ who showed up at the last moment to cast his vote against impeachment while in a wheelchair after being rushed from a hospital where he has been recovering from abdominal surgery. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The House has not yet scheduled an exact time for a second go at impeaching Mayorkas‚ but Democrat leadership urged their members to be ready for the resolution to be brought to the floor again as early as Tuesday‚ when the first votes of the week are expected. There are currently four vacancies in the House‚ which has 435 members when at full strength‚ but that will soon change. With New York expected to hold its special election to replace now-former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) next week‚ the Democrats may have another member in their ranks. Other special elections to fill other vacancies will follow in the coming weeks and months.

Top Republicans fired back at the White House this week after the Biden administration threatened that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would deport fewer illegal aliens if Republicans did not pass the Senate’s controversial border bill. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed to reporters on Wednesday that congressional Republicans were “choosing partisan politics over our national security” because they do not support the bill that many experts and critics say will make President Joe Biden’s illegal immigration crisis even worse. “Here is what that means: ICE would be forced to reduce its removal operations‚ its total detention capacity‚ and more‚” she said. “When ICE can’t conduct these operations‚ our national security and public safety will be harmed.” Jean-Pierre’s attempt to shift blame for the administration’s border crisis onto Republicans comes as numerous recent polls have shown that the crisis is the top issue for many voters‚ and the overwhelming majority of Americans blame Biden for it. Republican senators and House members responded to Jean-Pierre’s remarks on social media by saying they amounted to extortion by the Biden administration. “And yet‚ in 2022‚ when I sought to provide more $ to deport CRIMINAL illegal aliens‚ every single Democrat voted against it‚” said Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN). “Don’t believe this blame-shifting nonsense.” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) responded: “Is Biden the President or a mobster? Attempting to shake down Republicans for a bad immigration bill won’t secure our southern border. It shows Biden can fix the problem that he created.” “This is called extortion‚” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT). “This is blackmail‚” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) posted on X. “And an admission that Biden controls the level of illegal immigration. The entire border crisis is by design.” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) responded: “The White House is threatening the American people.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “They’ve already abandoned the field – but this is why we should not fund DHS until we force the border security that is necessary‚” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). Rep. Austin Pfluger (R-TX) responded: “President Biden has now resorted to threatening the American people with an even worse border crisis. The President already has the tools and authority he needs to close the border. This crisis is intentional.” “Proof that Biden was NEVER serious about actually securing the border‚” added Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). “It’s all a game for the White House to score political points.”

No matter a person’s job title‚ everyone deserves to be treated with respect. This is a fact that some people‚ unfortunately‚ still don’t understand. Joe Cousins mom‚ Julie‚ was a cleaner for 35 years. In that time‚ she connected with so many wonderful individuals‚ as she did work she was not only great at but enjoyed. Then‚ in 2021‚ an encounter with a bad manager prompted her to turn in her resignation letter. During her last five years of work‚ Julie worked at HSBC Bank in the UK. Here‚ it seems‚ there was one manager in particular who caused problems. She even looked down at Julie for her job. Ironically‚ this manager’s name is also Julie. Finally‚ a particularly rude encounter led Joe’s mom to the realization that it was time to retire — but not without some parting words for the other Julie. Instagram To best express how she felt‚ Julie wrote a letter. In it‚ she could have chosen to be rude right back to her manager. Instead‚ she found a kind yet firm way to let her know that her actions are unacceptable. Woman Shares Wise Words in Resignation Letter After Getting Bullied by Manager “I’ve left the job‚ Julie‚ after the way you dressed me down in the office‚” Joe’s mom‚ Julie‚ writes. “It was nothing more than aggressive and cruel but that’s a reflection on your character not mine.” Twitter Joe was so proud of his mom‚ he had to share her well-written letter online. In doing so‚ Julie has garnered support from all around the world. Part of the reason this letter has caught so much attention is because of Julie’s parting words of wisdom‚ not only for her manager‚ but for the rest of her colleagues. “So going forward‚ please‚ all of you remember‚” Julie writes‚ “in a world when you can be anything‚ be kind because you are all no better than the cleaner.” Instagram Although it’s upsetting that it was best for Julie to leave her work at that time‚ the Cousins’ family can confidently report that she’s more than happy enjoying her new retirement life. “And this is why I love my mum‚” Joe shares. “She’s been cleaning banks for 35 years and today walked out with this lovely note left for that awful manager. Happy retirement Mum — always have the last laugh eh!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
