An 18-year-old contestant at the Miss Grand Thailand 2026 preliminaries has gone viral for a horrible reason, after her veneers dislodged during her on-stage introduction.

The contestant handled the awkward moment with remarkable poise.

The preliminary round of the pageant took place earlier this week in Bangkok.

Kamolwan Chanago, representing Pathum Thani province, was introducing herself to judges and the live audience when her upper veneers began to slip, noticeably affecting her speech.

Video of the moment shows Chanago briefly stopping, turning her back to the camera and audience to fix her false teeth, then continuing her intro.

Her response to the situation earned Chanago a round of applause from the audience.

A spokesperson for Miss Grand International issued a statement about the incident to People Magazine.

“During her on-stage introduction, Kamolwan Chanago experienced a minor and unexpected incident in which her veneer teeth became dislodged,” the representative said.

The statement continued, “She handled the situation with professionalism and composure, and the event continued smoothly without disruption. We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition.”

“The Miss Grand Thailand pageant includes 77 Thai women competing to be named Miss Grand Thailand 2026. The winner of that event will then move on to become a contestant for the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant in India in October,” the report added.

The Miss Grand Thailand finale is scheduled for March 28 at the MGI Hall in Bangkok.

Fentanyl and cocaine were found hidden inside the packaging of several Barbie dolls sold at Cargo Largo, a popular discount and resale store in Independence, Missouri, just outside Kansas City.

Security at Cargo Largo contacted the Independence Police Department on Saturday after noticing that a suspicious powder had been taped inside the back of one Barbie doll’s cardboard packaging.

Field tests indicated the presence of fentanyl.

Officers immediately launched an investigation with the store to determine how many packages containing the drugs had been sold.

Law enforcement confirmed that five Barbie doll packages from the same shipment, sold between March 19 and March 20, contained the substance.

Working with Cargo Largo staff and using store records and customer outreach, police located and recovered all five packages within hours.

No injuries or exposures were reported, and the dolls themselves were not contaminated.

Subsequent laboratory testing found that the substance was primarily cocaine with trace amounts of fentanyl, according to Cargo Largo’s official statement.

The store identified the specific source shipment, conducted K-9 sweeps of its facilities (which came back clean), and is now implementing regular inspections to prevent future issues.

Officials emphasized there is no ongoing risk to customers or employees, and they have shared all details with local and federal authorities, including the DEA.

The Independence Police Department stated they have no reason to believe other stores or shipments are affected, but the investigation remains ongoing.

Border Czar Tom Homan shut CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan down with facts on Sunday when she attempted to push the lie that Republicans in Congress are responsible for the government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security and, most notably, the Transportation Security Administration.

The Democrats shut the government down and have held funding for the entire Department of Homeland Security hostage in order to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for more than 40 days.

However, Brennan argued to Homan that “Republicans control both chambers,” it’s the fault of Trump and the Republican Party that Homeland Security remains defunded.

Homan fired back, “The Democrats shut down DHS,” adding, “Remember why we’re here. We’re here because the last four years of an open border, millions of people were in this country illegally, many public safety threats, national security threats, and we’re out seeking them and arresting them, and they simply don’t like ICE enforcing the law.”

Still, Brennan continued attempting to blame Trump and Republicans, pressing Homan on why Senate Republicans and House Republicans could not agree to reopen the government with the recent Senate-backed funding bill that did not include funding for ICE.

Homan maintained that he only supports “Congress opening up the entire government, the entire DHS, and not holding people in DHS hostage because they don’t like immigration enforcement.”

Brennan continued to press the issue while conveniently refusing to mention that the government could reopen immediately if Democrats would simply allow ICE to remain funded.

WATCH:

Brennan: Just to be clear, the President is not forcing lawmakers to come back to Washington now. He’s going to wait until mid April to do this?

Homan: And the American people hold Congress responsible. They’re on vacation right now while 10s of 1000s of DHS employees aren’t being paid, and that’s what happened at the airport.

Brennan: But Republicans control both chambers. This is the President’s party.

The Democrats shut down DHS. They voted to shut down DHS because they simply won’t fund DHS because they want to change policies so ICE is less effective in the interior. Remember why we’re here. We’re here because the last four years of an open border, millions of people were in this country illegally, many public safety threats, national security threats, and we’re out seeking them and arresting them, and they simply don’t like ICE enforcing the law. They proved that the last four years. They didn’t let ICE enforce the law.

Homan further confirmed that ICE agents will remain at airports for as long as necessary to secure airports as the FIFA World Cup approaches, after Trump deployed ICE agents to assist with security and long wait times resulting from the Democrat-led shutdown.

As long as vacancies remain from TSA agents who left the job during the shutdown, “ICE will remain in airports to take those jobs to secure the airport,” he said.

WATCH:

Brennan: There’s like 500 TSA officers who have quit. Do you expect to be able to rehire them? And we have some big events like the World Cup coming up in June. Are we going to have problems at airports for the foreseeable future.

Homan: Look, we’re going to continue an ice presence there until the airports feel like they’re in 100%, you know, in a posture where they can do normal operations. If less TSA agents come back, that means we’ll keep more ICE agents there. The President’s been clear.

He wants to secure those airports, especially, as I said earlier, in an increased threat posture. We need to secure those airports. ICE is there to help our brothers and sisters in TSA. We’ll be there as long as they need us until they get back to normal operation to feel like those airports are secure.
