Most moms and dads are eagerly looking forward to witnessing each and every milestone their bundle of joy reaches. When you think about it, children growing up comes with a number of difficulties but even more reasons for celebrations. The little ones’ first tooth, their first word, the first steps. Well, the list is endless.
However, as most kids start speaking after their turn one, and even later, one very special baby knows how to say the word mom at only two months old.
In case you don’t trust us, you can just take a look at the video of baby Jimmy which his parents took so that they could prove they weren’t the only ones who heard him speak.

Once the sweet boy said mom, his mom and dad made sure the camera was rolling so that they were certain it wasn’t just something they imagined hearing the first time. Well, Jimmy is ahead of the rest of the babies I know. He will surely grow up into a cute and talkative boy.
The incredibly cute video has been seen over 3.5 million times. Check it out below.
Among those who slammed Meghan Markle publicly following her interview with Oprah Winfrey is controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson is convinced that the Duchess of Sussex is only trying to depict herself as the victim, but is in fact a “manipulative opportunist” and a “narcissist.” On his show Tucker Carlson Tonighton Tuesday, he made sure he spoke openly on how he feels regarding Meghan’s words and brought the attention to the story about the argument between Meghan and Kate which apparently took place just before the wedding.
“Here’s this royal person, one of the most famous and fawned over people in the world telling Oprah that she was incredibly wounded because she got into some sort of petty argument about dresses with her sister-in-law at her wedding three years ago. So stop the presses,” the host said before he invoked one of the darkest days in the American history.
“She and her sister-in-law had a tiff about clothes. That’s never happened before. She thinks this is important enough to bring up in a television interview. It was her 9/11. So of course she considers it newsworthy. OK, so she’s a narcissist.”
Speaking to Oprah, Meghan raised her concerns over the Royal family choosing to lie in order to protect other members, “but they weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband,” referring to the media headlines that she made Kate cry, when just the opposite happened, according to the former Suit actress. The Palace did not try to correct those writings.
Tucker Carlson on Meghan Markle and other powerful figures portraying themselves as victims:
“The most powerful people are pretending to be powerless… When you’re a victim, you are inherently significant. Martyrdom means you are forever the hero of the story.” pic.twitter.com/LmiYtnyAm9
Carlson further explained how he felt Meghan didn’t have the right to feel oppressed after she became part of the Royal family.
“What she’s really saying is that despite her enormous wealth and fame, despite the fact she never has to cook her own dinner or drive her own car ever again as long as she lives … she is, and this is the headline here, she’s actually an oppressed victim. She may look powerful, but she’s powerless.”
It doesn’t really come as a surprise that basically everyone wants their opinion regarding the Harry and Meghan interview heard. Described as a bombshell interview seen by millions, the former royals’ words echoed to each and every corner of the world, and while some support them and agree that their life in the Palace did not resemble a fairytall at all, others believe they are only seeking attention and don’t trust the word they said.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if a woman threatens to kill herself and your unborn child, you are in an emotionally abusive relationship.
Among the latter are Pierce Morgan, who quit his show in the U.K. after openly calling Meghan a liar, and political activist Candace Owens, who believes that “Piers Morgan was all of us when he was dressing down Meghan Markle and calling her out on the blatant lies that she’s told.”
Calling her a liar herself, Owens added: “She [Meghan] can’t even keep her story straight, by the way, if anybody remembers, about three years ago she said in a panel that she does not read newspapers, that she does not check social media because she does not like to read stories about her.”
Further, Owens said Meghan was a “narcissist.” She believes that the former actress felt immense pressure by the media and that was the reason why she decided to say she was at one point thinking of ending her own life.
Owens also spoke of the issue Meghan and Harry brought up regarding Archie’s skin color and said the Duchess couldn’t possibly face racial abuse because “when you look at her, you would not be able to discern just by looking at Meghan Markle that she’s black.”
What are your thoughts on Owens’ accusations of Meghan?
The interview which shook not only Britain, but the entire world, and is still number one topic, made the wide public divided over who to trust, the former royals, Harry and Meghan, or the Palace.
The shocking revelations triggered the hashtag #AbolishTheMonarchy to be trending all over the social media.
People are wondering what was really going on behind closed doors as Meghan accused the Royals of not being enough supportive, especially when she came forward to them about her suicidal thoughts, which she described as “a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought.”

The bombshell interview revealed that the life in the Palace is not as harmonious as most of us considered it to be, and now that The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties, for good, they are no longer constrained as to what they can and can’t say about the most famous family in the world.
Right after the couple opened their hearts to Oprah, and spoke of the conversation one of the senior royals had with them as to how dark Archie’s skin might be before he was welcomed into the world, everyone was in anticipation of hearing what the Queen would have to say about the allegations.
Queen Elizabeth II, released a statement in which she wrote: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.” The statement further read that the issue of raise is concerning.

Among the rest, Harry said that his brother, The Duke of Cambridge, and his father, Prince Charles, were trapped. He was trapped as well, but now he was free.
But as no one except for the Queen has commented on the interview, the public has been eager to hear what William and Charles think of Harry’s words. According to Sky News, William, who will one day conceivably be King of England, said: “We are very much not a racist family.” Asked whether he spoke to his brother, he answered: “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do.”

Regarding his relationship with his brother and father, Harry told Oprah: “The relationship is space at the moment. And time heals all things, hopefully.”
We honestly hope the brothers will be able to put any arguments aside and will be close as before.
Life is unpredictable and we never know what awaits us around the corner. A man named Raimundo Arrudo Sobrinho knows that best. During the military dictatorship that troubled his country of Brazil in the 1970s, he became homeless and spent long 35 years of his life on the streets.
Looking dirty, not many people would ever get near him so he was all alone most of his days. His only companions were the papers and his pen.
This homeless man was a poetry writer and would put his words down, but sadly, no one has ever got to read any of them.
Luckily, that was all about to change when a very special woman named Shalla came across his path.
She noticed Raimundo would always write something and her curiosity didn’t leave her at ease until she approached him one day and asked him about his papers.
After she read his work, she was left stunned but his incredible talent so she decided to do something for him, and her act changed this man’s life forever.
Shalla knew it would be pity for Raimundo’s poems not to be shared with the world, so she shared them on Facebook along with his life story.
The post got the attention of many people who said his work was indeed extraordinary. They shared it with their friends and very soon, more than 100,000 people followed the page dedicated to Raimundo and couldn’t wait for more poems to be shared on it.
It took one woman that recognized one homeless’ man talent for his life to be turned upside down.
The most incredible thing was that one of the people who stumbled upon Shalla’s Facebook page was Raimundo’s long lost brother.
He recognized Raimundo under the filthy clothes and the long beard and contacted him. A very touching encounter was about to take place and it touched the hearts of many.
Raimundo was reunited with his family and was invited to live with them. He finally got to have a place he could call a home.
The years spent on the streets were now in the past.
Raimundo’s incredible life story was featured in the documentary “The Conditioned.”
It teaches us that no matter our wealth or looks, we are all humans who need a little love and support to find our place in this world.
Shalla’s simple act of kindness went a long way and made a change that neither she nor Raimundo ever believed was possible.
What I love most about Americans is their love for their country and their respect for the veterans. Sadly, not everyone believes that the people who fought for our freedom should be treated as heroes, and the video below shows just that.
A young veteran orders food at Jollibee, a fast-food restaurant, and asks the person behind the counter whether there is discount for veterans. However, even before he gets an answer, one of the customers comments by saying, “wow, that’s rude.” When he asks the woman what she means by that, she says how veterans believe they should be privileged only because they are part of the military.

The veteran is shocked to hear that, but still, he responds back in a very calm manner and tries to explain that asking for a discount is not a privilege. On the contrary, privilege is “getting to go home, to go home to your family every night, to go home in a free country because some people give up their privileges so that people like you can have them.”
He then apologized to the cashier in case she felt offended when he asked for the veteran discount. In the meantime, the rude woman left the place and another customer offered to pay for the veteran’s meal. But that wasn’t needed because the restaurant’s manager stepped in and told the veteran his lunch was on the house.
Our veterans are our heroes and they should never be treated with disrespect.
You can take a look at the video below. It has been seen over 11 million times.
Another successful operation during which 31 missing children were located and rescued was carried out by the U.S. Marshals and Homeland Security Investigations in partnership with Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie police departments. The “Operation Missing in the Metroplex” had been undergoing for over a month.
According to reports, among those rescued were minors tied to sex trafficking. One 15-year-old girl was recovered at a Dallas home, a 17-year-old girl was recovered from a vehicle, and a 13-year-old girl was recovered from an apartment. Additionally, two girls were recovered from Fort Worth.

Acting United States Marshal Quintella Downs-Bradshaw spoke to ABC 8 News and said: “To observe law enforcement partnerships and community concerns culminate into such a successful recovery outcome is rewarding. Victims should know they are not forgotten, there is hope and a way to return home.”
All the children were provided help and were placed at a safe place. Some have already been returned to their legal guardians.
“We know there’s a lot more out there. This is a small victory.” – Chief Eddie Garcia, Dallas Police. Federal agencies collaborate with local police departments to locate 31 children in North Texas. Several were victims of sex trafficking. @NBCDFWhttps://t.co/O0cG9LDDyH
Dallas Police Department Chief of Police Eddie Garcia described the operation as a small victory. He is aware that a lot more has to be done, but the number of successful operations carried out during the past period show that there is still someone who will never give up on these children who live in fear each and every day.
“We are grateful to be a part of a coalition of extraordinary law enforcement agencies who were dedicated in reuniting these children with their loved ones,” Garcia said. “It is our hope that each of them will be able to put this traumatic experience behind them and move forward to have a happy and productive life.”
More than 30 missing children have been “located, recovered, or rescued” in the Dallas area, including seven minors deemed “critically missing” with ties to sex trafficking. https://t.co/tY4uSCkLri
We can never thank the U.S. Marshals and everyone involved in the rescue mission enough. You are our heroes. As for the children, we are glad they are finally home, where they belong.
Kids and animals form bonds strong like no other. So when our pets leave this world, the little ones are touched the most.
One family, however, will always be able not only to think of the great times they spent with their cat that passed away, but also to see the bunch of photos that witness of the memorable and fun times they had together.
Bailey was a very special cat who was an important part of the family. Erin Merryn and the rest of the household members included him in every activity, but it was the last one that touched the hearts of many.

Merryn recalls the time Bailey entered her life. She was still in college and this cat became her best friend the moment she took him in her arms. “I have always said if everyone had a Bailey there would be a lot less people in this world lonely or depressed. I always told people there was a little human inside Bailey.”

When Merryn welcomed her first bundle of joy, baby Abby, Bailey was there to share the joy with her.
Speaking to Love Meow, Merryn shares how the cat and the baby bonded instantly. She was scared at first because she didn’t know how Bailey would react to the new addition to the family but he was the most caring pet they could ever ask for.

Abby would play with the cute tabby cat and would read him stories. What was very interesting was that Bailey would show patience and would carefully listen to his human sister.
And when the second baby came into the family’s life, Bailey loved her the way he loved Abby. Merryn felt blessed knowing her girls were around someone who was so very affectionate about them.

The girls would take their furry brother with them wherever they went. They dressed him, took him to picnics, and pushed him like a baby in a stroller. So it didn’t really came as a surprise when people started calling him “no ordinary cat.”
“He just loved these girls and let them do whatever they wanted to him. It was incredible, ” Merryn told People.

Sadly, after 14 years, Bailey’s health became poor and he experienced kidney failure. The whole family was devastated and they made sure his last days were filled with the love and the affection he was surrounded with his whole life.
Merryn said how the girls were very sad over the fact their lovely pal would leave this world, but sadly, there was nothing that could be done.
The last video of Bailey and Abby was so touching that it triggered deep emotions and a lot of tears at everyone who witnessed the unconditional love that existed between these best friends.
Abby holds Bailey in her arms and gently sings, “You are my Sunshine.”

Even after Bailey’s passing people still get to enjoy the photos of him and all the fun he had growing old around his family as Merryn still runs the page “Bailey No Ordinary Cat.”
Realizing that people from all around the world fell in love with the photos, the family published a book.

Rest in peace sweet Bailey, you were the kind of pet everyone wishes to have in their life.
