Motherhood is a journey of love and care‚ and this holds true whether you’re a human or a furry‚ four-legged mom. Take Daisy Duke‚ a Labrador‚ who recently embraced motherhood with the arrival of her eight adorable puppies. In a world where the smallest or weakest pup‚ often called the “runt‚” might receive less attention‚...

During an interview which will air in its entirety on CBS’s Face The Nation‚ CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent and Face The Nation moderator Margaret Brennan pressed Speaker Mike Johnson on the need to fund more immigration judges so as to address the backflow of asylum claims‚ as our southern border remains collapsed under the pressure of the ongoing migrant surge. Watch the interview segment in its entirety‚ as aired on CBS News Prime Time with John Dickerson on Wednesday‚ January 3rd‚ 2024: JOHN DICKERSON: CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent and Face The Nation moderator Margaret Brennan spoke with Speaker Johnson in Texas. He insisted that despite legal‚ logistical and diplomatic efforts‚ executive action by President Biden would make quick progress at the border.  SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON: On his first day in office‚ President Biden came in and issued executive orders that began this chaos. Remain in Mexico is one of them. The catch and release program has created part of this problem. You could end catch and Release. MARGARET BRENNAN: But you need the logistical and financial support to do that. You need the judges. You need to be able to process people. We've spoken to federal agents about just that challenge.  JOHNSON: Yeah. Well‚ we… BRENNAN: Congress has the purse strings to give them the money to do that.  JOHNSON: That’s true. I’ll quote to you the Deputy Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. As he said‚ it is as if we’re trying to administer an open fire hydrant. He said‚ “I don't need more buckets‚ I need for the- I need the flow to be turned off.” And the way you do that is with policy changes. We’re just asking the White House to apply common sense. And they seem to be completely uninterested in doing so.  BRENNAN: Speaker of the House Mike Johnston says he does want a deal‚ but he has not been read in on what the White House is negotiating with the Senate. You heard him mention a return to that Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy‚ which requires migrants to wait outside the U.S. while their claims are adjudicated. Tonight‚ a Biden administration official told me that while nothing is off the table‚ the administration needs Mexico's help and is not going to‚ quote‚ “stuff things down their throats”. As for the asylum hearings‚ well‚ there are fewer than 800 immigration judges in this country dealing with nearly 3 million pending cases. The White House funding request would help hire more judges and clear that backlog. John. DICKERSON: Margaret Brennan on the border for us. Thank you‚ Margaret. “Funding the judges” is‚ of course‚ the Biden White House talking point on how to mitigate the ongoing disaster. As the rationale goes‚ dramatically expanding the amount of immigration judges will significantly cut down the waiting time for asylum seekers‚ who are now getting court dates in 2035. The flip side of funding the judges is that quick‚ streamlined adjudication will only expedite the flow of migrants into the United States. Johnson rightly points out that Biden devoted his Day One to the unwinding of his predecessor’s border policy. That‚ combined with a prior signaling that was taken as an invitation‚ is what leads to the current situation.  Brennan and Johnson are on two different wavelengths here. On the one hand‚ Brennan is pressing for Johnson to allow the “purse strings” to fund Biden’s immigration judges. On the other‚ Johnson has a House-passed border security bill (HR2) in hand that fixes a lot of what is wrong with our existing immigration system and addresses the current migrant crisis. As Brennan points out‚ White House and Senate are negotiating this thing on their own.  Despite what Brennan would have you believe‚ the problem with our current system isn’t the backlog. It’s the failure to enforce existing law.  

A lead slingbullet inscribed with the name of Julius Caesar and the Ibero-Roman city Ipsca has been discovered in Montilla‚ Andalusia‚ southern Spain. It the first time an incontrovertible inscription of Julius Caesar’s name has been found on this type of projectile in the Iberian Peninsula. It is also the first slingbullet inscribed with the place-name Ipsca; indeed‚ the first toponym of any city in Roman Hispania ever found inscribed on a slingbullet. The practice of putting inscriptions on lead slingshot projectiles (glandes inscriptae) goes back to 5th century B.C. Greece and continued through the early Roman imperial era. The clay molds used to manufacture the shots would be incised so the projectile‚ once hardened‚ would feature an inscription in relief on the body. The types of inscriptions commonly included the name of the maker‚ the military commander‚ the legion or the place they were to be deployed. Sometimes they included messages to the enemy like “eat this” and “our persistence will destroy you.” Glandes inscriptae have been found in significant numbers in the Republican Roman provinces of the Iberian Peninsula. A large concentration date to the 1st century B.C.‚ so much so that scholars believed them to be a particular feature of the Sertorian War (82-72 B.C.) and Caesar’s conflict with Pompey (48-45 B.C.)‚ a pointed‚ as it were‚ form of self-promotion. Quintus Sertorius added actual slogans like “veritas” and “fides” on the other side of his sling bullets. (Recent studies of glandes inscriptae in private collections have found a few even earlier examples‚ bearing the names of Roman military leaders who fought Celtiberian tribes in the 2nd century B.C.) Even if it hadn’t had a tell-tale inscription‚ the slingbullet found in Montilla was unlikely to have been Sertorian because no known battles in that conflict took place in the area. Its shape and weight are directly comparable to a group of lead projectiles found at the Roman city of Ulia Fidentia‚ where Caesar and Pompey’s troops clashed‚ less than eight miles north of the slingbullet’s find site in Montilla. None of the slingbullets found at Ulia were inscribed‚ which makes the Montilla example all the more notable. The almond-shaped lead projectile was discovered in 2019 during agricultural work in the town of Montilla near Cordoba. It is one of 18 lead slingbullets discovered in the immediate surroundings of the find site in the course of agricultural work or by happenstance. The glans inscripta measures 1.8 inches long‚ .8 inches wide and .7 inches high. It weighs 2.5 ounces. It was manufactured by pouring lead into a clay mold. The pointed ends were cut with shears to separate them from the next bullet in the mold. The projectile is in excellent condition‚ with just a couple of damage spots typical of soft lead projectiles after they’ve been thrown at an enemy. It has two longitudinal inscriptions on opposite sides: IPSCA and CAES. Ipsca is a toponym‚ a reference to. Caes is the abbreviation for Gaius Julius Caesar. While the name of Caesar has been found on slingbullets in Italy‚ the archaeological context of these discoveries date them to after Julius Caesar’s assassination. They are therefore attributed to Gaius Caesar Octavianus‚ aka Octavian‚ Caesar’s nephew‚ adoptive son and heir who took Caesar’s name after his death. One unpublished slingbullet may bear the abbreviation of Caesar (the photos are unclear and it is not in public view)‚ but the inscription on the other side “Accipe” means “take it” so even if it is Caesar’s name‚ the bullet itself was likely destined for his side and therefore manufactured by the Pompeian forces. Ipsca was an Iberian oppidum (fortified town) and later a Roman municipality about 12 miles from Montilla. It was in this countryside that Julius Caesar and the surviving sons of Pompey‚ Gnaeus and Sextus Pompeius‚ engaged in the final battle of their civil war in 45 B.C. The exact location of the Battle of Munda has long been subject of debate‚ with the environs of Montilla being one of the top candidates. The discovery of the lead slingbullet supports this candidacy‚ and confirms that the city of Ipsca allied itself with Caesar’s faction. Certainly Ipsca produced ammunition for Caesar‚ sealing an unbreakable alliance on lead. It was a real sponsorship‚ that is‚ a strong sharing of the cause. Hipsca espoused Caesar’s cause. And he wanted to publicly underline it‚ marking the operation with his name‚ so that there would be no doubts. The municipality probably also sent its own men to reinforce the Caesarian army in view of the clash at Munda‚ near present-day Montilla‚ the territory in which the projectile was found.
