She could not speak until she was nearly four. She grew up to redesign how half the cattle in North America are handled and killed, by learning to see the world through the eyes of a cow.
Temple Grandin is autistic, a thinker who reasons in pictures, not words. As a young scientist she did the one thing no handler had thought to do. She climbed down into the chute and looked along it at the height of the animal.
And she saw what everyone had missed. The cattle were freezing at shadows on the floor, at a glint on a puddle, at a coat draped over a rail. Small terrors, invisible to us, screaming at them. The autism the world had called a defect was the very thing that let her feel an animal's fear.
So she rebuilt the whole machine around that fear. Curved races, so the animal never sees what waits ahead. Soft light. Sure footing. Her centre-track restrainer, cradling the body steady through its final second, so the end comes clean.
Then she did the harder thing. She turned mercy into arithmetic. For McDonald's she built an audit of five cold numbers: stunned on the first shot, fallen, crying out, shocked with a prod. Fail it, lose the contract. An industry deaf to every plea to be gentle went silent the moment gentleness became a score it could fail.
She is no abolitionist, and the purists have never forgiven her for it. Her stance is the harder, braver one. She eats the animal, she looks it in the eye as it dies, and she insists that this is precisely why it is owed a calm life and a death without terror.
Nature offers no such kindness. The wolf does not stun the elk.
Her life's work fits in a few short words. Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be.
The very concept of a 'chestfeeding' man is utterly abhorrent and completely indefensible, (or it should be).
Male galactorrhea is a dangerous chemical sludge.
It has no similarity whatsoever to breastmilk.
But even if it were a combination of the Elixir of Life and a cure for cancer, it is still a secretion coming out of a MAN.
I keep thinking that, Star-Trek style, I've gone through a breach in the space-time continuum and have woken up on a parallel Earth, where the evil Terran Empire is running the universe.
I keep thinking, "surely this cannot be happening", "this cannot be real".
It's 2026.
We were meant to be having flying cars and free unlimited energy.
And living on the moon.
But, instead we've got paedophile men orally raping babies.
And almost nobody seems to mind.
Where does this end?
When is enough, enough?
I just left the ARC conference, where so many speakers lamented the decline of the West and attributed it to spiritual causes. I agree the West has a spiritual malady. It's called ingratitude. It's feeling entitled to the miracle all around us and thus miserable and empty.
"Is this all there is?" he texts from a lie-flat seat in the front on a 787 taking him across the world in a few hours. The message gets there fast because the plane is in near-constant contact with satellites that provide high-speed Internet literally anywhere and that you can't even outrun at 0.90 Mach.
We complain about spiritual decline while absolutely nothing prevents us from pursuing whatever spiritual path we want, or inviting people to come participate in one with us. There are zero impediments except our own willingness to see that we're in a living miracle and our own ingratitude.
Not one of the overwhelming majority of us will ever face actual food insecurity. We've never wondered if we'll need to boil our shoes to feed our children. We blame a world that gives us everything instead of realizing we're so entitled we won't even look for depth. We don't even have to get off the couch to find it, though maybe we should. It's in our phones if we'd just look.
I agree that there are elements of decline in the West, and that perhaps there are spiritual causes, but I think those start with each of us being unwilling to accept and be grateful for our inheritance and our incredible bounty.
I disagree that with the diagnosis, though, ultimately. We're doing amazing things people refuse to recognize, and we've been attacked by Western Marxist darkness until we've learned only to be critical about everything we have. We're not declining. We're being poisoned, and in our cushy ingratitude, we can refuse the tainted cup.
CBC refused to include a comment from Pierre Poilievre to balance their coverage of Carney’s press conference.
Pierre spoke and took questions for 56 minutes. (Video below)
The CBC included 0% of it.
The CBC is the state broadcaster and only exists because Canadians are forced to pay for it through their taxes.
The very least it can do is cover all sides of the issues.

📣 That is NOT the role of the King 👑
The British Monarch has never been a generic “protector of faith within a multi-faith nation.”
The Sovereign is the Defender of THE FAITH, the Christian faith of the realm. ✝️
Charles III is Supreme Governor of the Church of England. He swore a Coronation Oath to maintain the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.
If the Palace is now redefining his job as protecting “the space for Faith” alongside Buddha, Muhammad, Krishna and every other false religion… then he is either poorly informed about his own office, has zero conviction of faith he claims or is deliberately undermining the Christian foundations of the United Kingdom.
Either way this is untenable!🇬🇧
Christ alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Not one faith among many!

US liberalism is a sadistic cult that worships suffering. They don't want to be happy, because happiness is sinful.
The more one has even the appearance of suffering, the more authority they have. They are crabs in a barrel.
🚨 OTTAWA: A historic church built in 1862, just 1.4 km from Parliament Hill, has been turned into a mosque. ☪️🕌
The Imam says it plain:
“We just got a church in downtown Ottawa… We put an offer… now we are in place in the heart of the capital city.” There are now 49 mosques and masjid’s in Ottawa as of 2026.
They’re not hiding the playbook. They’re fundraising off it. Buying up our empty churches as Ottawa brings in the replacement demographic. Planting themselves in the centre of power. Reshaping the country one building at a time.
I never imagined I’d watch our Christian heritage get sold off while Canadians look the other way.
Churches close. Mosques open. Demographics shift with forced government immigration policy. Influence grows.
This is what happens when a nation abandons its foundations. They’re telling you exactly what they intend.
Why do so many still refuse to see it?

@Tablesalt13@AlbertaCanada60 By too many “threats” they mean they saw their jobs vanish before their eyes as taxpayers and voters expressed their displeasure & intention of voting for anyone else in future.
🚨A violent transgender inmate is suing the Washington DOC after he was moved out of a women's prison.
A new hearing has revealed that Amber Fayefox Kim targeted vulnerable female inmates for "sex," and claimed that having sex in a women's prison was his human right.
A Washington State Supreme Court justice hearing the case characterized Kim as a "lesbian."
.@RoyalFamily we understand you don’t comment on “political issues,” but this is not one. This is heartbreaking and horrifying. The girls and women of your country are in terror of having their lives destroyed by rape gangs, continuously.
How can you allow this to go on? How can you represent a country that allows this gross human rights disaster? You must do everything in your power and capacity to stop this.
Federal Liberal minister, Rebecca Alty, just got caught fabricating a fake CBC news headline.
A mocked-up image styled with the CBC logo, “breaking news” banner, and a headline that didn’t exist in any CBC publication.
The wording matched a federal government news release, not anything CBC ever wrote.
She got caught & her office quietly deleted the post.
Replaced it with a version that still looked like a news website, just without the CBC logo.
The office’s excuse: “the incorrect graphic was posted.”
The CBC’s response: “As the post in question no longer exists, we have no comment.”
This is a sitting federal Cabinet minister using fake mainstream media coverage to launder a government press release into the public mind.
It’s literally fake news.
As an FYI: it’s illegal, under the Canada Elections Act and Defamation Act, if she did this during a campaign.
Not to mention, it breaches every standard of public communication ethics during governance.
@Milajoy It’s exactly like trying to have a reasonable conversation with a liberal voter here in Canada. You would get more sense out of the algae in the pool.
