Fox News host Martha MacCallum blasted U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby during an interview this week for saying President Joe Biden is taking the border crisis seriously. The Wednesday interview happened as millions of illegal aliens have unlawfully entered the U.S. southern border under Biden’s administration‚ which has resulted in states starting to act on their own. MacCallum noted that the illegal immigration issue had been the top concern for voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. When Kirby said that Biden has tried to act with a sense of urgency to fix the crisis‚ MacCallum shot back: “He’s been president for three years.” “This is not just the same old immigration issue we’ve had going on for a decade as he said the other day‚” she continued. “These are record numbers all the time. And people in Iowa and New Hampshire are the ones that are expressing concerns about it. This isn’t Arizona and Texas. This is Iowa and New Hampshire. I don’t think that people sense that there’s an urgency to address this.” Kirby said that Biden was “limited” in what actions he could take‚ saying that Congress was moving forward with a plan to address the issue. “They’re not really moving along well‚” MacCallum fired back. “You say he’s been concerned about it for three years‚ but that’s failing‚ obviously. When you have record numbers of people coming in‚ that means the policy’s failing. So‚ why not change gears and try to do something that works?” MacCallum continued to press Kirby: “John‚ do we have a border? Do we have a southern border? Do we have a southern border?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Yes‚ ma’am‚” he responded. “Of course we do.” “Then how come people can flow across it every single day?” she pressed. “Hundreds of thousands of people? Three hundred thousand people in December.” WATCH: DO WE HAVE A SOUTHERN BORDER?

You could say that Jonathan and the royal family go way back. The 192-year-old tortoise‚ who lives in St. Helena‚ was first introduced to the late Queen Elizabeth all the way back in 1947. At that time‚ she was still a princess. Meanwhile‚ Jonathan was still a spry 116. In the years that followed‚ more and more of the British family would go on to meet this special tortoise‚ the latest being Prince Edward. One of the reasons why Jonathan is so special is because of his age. According to the St. Helena Government‚ he is believed to be the “oldest land animal in the world‚” having been on the island for 142 years. Most Seychelles giant tortoises only live 150 years‚ making it all the more possible for this special moment between Prince Edward and the famed creature. Twitter Prince Edward’s itinerary for his 2-day visit to the island was quite full. He attended events like the President’s Award Reception and met with members of the community to celebrate the area’s biodiversity and culture. One of the most special moments‚ though‚ has to be when he met Jonathan. Prince Edward Meets Jonathan the Tortoise 77 Years After Queen Elizabeth On social media‚ folks were quick to share side-by-side photos of both Prince Edward and his late mother‚ Queen Elizabeth‚ meeting the tortoise. It’s crazy to think that Jonathan has been around long enough to meet so many generations of the royal family! Twitter “Despite his age‚ Jonathan lives an active life with his friends in the grounds of the Governor’s residence here on the island‚” the St. Helena Government shares. Prince Edward is the first member of his family to visit Jonathan since 2002. How cool would it be if William‚ Prince of Wales‚ were able to introduce one of his kids to the beloved tortoise!? In any case‚ it’s clear Jonathan will always hold a special place in the royal family’s hearts. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here and here!

After months of living in confusion‚ a Jane Doe who couldn’t remember her identity now knows who she is. Her name is Brenda Lee Jones‚ and she’s from Star City‚ Arkansas. Finding this information wasn’t easy — it took a determined community service coordinator‚ a skilled geneologist‚ and a long-lost relative to put all the pieces together. However‚ now that Brenda knows her own name‚ her future is definitely looking brighter! Before discovering her identity‚ this Jane Doe was staying at St. Agnes Church in Baton Rouge. It was through this temporary shelter that she connected with Sandra Smith‚ a community service coordinator who soon made it her mission to discover the lost woman’s identity. This was the only way that they would be able to help her find housing. Screengrab from YouTube “It’s time for her to leave here‚” Sandra told WBRZ. “I don’t want her to sleep under the bridge‚ or die‚ and I am scared that’s going to happen to her if no one is there for her.” Although Jane Doe couldn’t remember much‚ she was able to provide a few names and places that she felt were connected to her past. She believed her name was Brenda Lee Jones‚ but she wasn’t sure. She thought she might be from Jackson‚ Mississippi or Little Rock‚ Arkansas‚ and that she might have a daughter named Regina. Screengrab from YouTube Armed with these leads‚ geneologist Shayna Landry started investigating the mystery woman’s background. Not only did she discover plenty of helpful documents for Brenda Lee Jones‚ but she actually found a relative on Facebook! “Her niece called me from work that night‚” Shayne told People. “At first she was a little skeptical: ‘What? Are you sure? What color was her hair?’ And I was like‚ ‘I’ll do one better. I have a photo.’ So I took some screenshots and I tagged her in the WBRZ article. And she was like‚ ‘Oh my God‚ that is my favorite Aunt Brenda. I haven’t seen her in a long time.'” With Jane Doe’s identity revealed‚ Sandra can now help Brenda Lee Jones move on with her life. Current plans include securing housing for her and getting her in touch with the rest of her family. Memory loss can be extremely frightening and confusing. We’re so glad this Jane Doe’s story has a happy ending! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

I have often said that kids don’t come with an instruction manual. One of the things that strikes me as hilarious is the silly questions kids ask. As a parent‚ how do you answer when your kid pops out with‚ “Why is pee yellow?” You’re standing in the middle of the grocery store‚ and there are several grandmotherly old ladies on the aisle. Oh‚ and these questions are never asked using an inside voice! 1. Am I Pregnant? Screen capture from Reddit. We’re not sure what‚ aside from the tummy ache‚ prompted this five-year-old boy to think he was pregnant. Formatting answers to a question like this does not have to launch you into a discussion of the birds and bees just yet. Maybe tell him that he can’t get pregnant and stop there. 2. Why Am I Right-Handed? Image from Pexels. This question can flummox even the best parents. While there are good‚ scientific answers‚ how do you word it for your four-year-old? It’s near impossible and typically receives the “that’s just the way it is” response from frustrated parents.
