@histories_arch What photographic technology was used in 1961 for them to take a photo and show it to someone down the road within hours.

On a peaceful Sunday afternoon in June 1961, just months after leaving the presidency, Dwight D. Eisenhower was tending his vegetable garden at his Gettysburg farm when he noticed a young couple had gotten their car stuck in the mud on the rural road bordering his property. Without hesitation, the 70-year-old former Supreme Commander grabbed a rope from his barn, trudged through the muck in his overalls, and spent forty-five minutes helping push their beat-up Chevy back onto solid ground. What makes this moment so beautifully human is that the couple—newlyweds Tom and Susan from Ohio on their honeymoon—had no idea they were being rescued by the man who’d led the Allied forces to victory and served two terms as President. Eisenhower never mentioned it, introducing himself simply as “Ike, the farmer next door” and chatting about their travels while hauling on the rope with mud splattered across his work clothes. When they finally freed the car, Mamie appeared with a thermos of lemonade and homemade cookies, inviting the bewildered couple onto the porch. For an hour, they swapped marriage advice, fishing tips, and stories of road trips, with Ike sharing memories of journeys he’d taken with Mamie decades earlier. Only twenty miles down the road, when they showed a gas station attendant their photo with “the nice farmer who helped us,” someone gasped: “That’s President Eisenhower!” Tom later wrote Ike a thank-you note, and the former president responded: “The pleasure was all ours—Mamie and I love meeting young people starting their adventures together. Remember: a good marriage is like farming, it takes patience, hard work, and knowing some days you’re just going to get muddy. Stay happy. Your friend, Ike.” What absolutely destroys you is knowing that Eisenhower could have enjoyed celebrity retirement, but instead chose to be simply Ike—a neighbor who helped strangers, a farmer who got his hands dirty, and a man who measured his worth not by past glory but by present kindness, proving true greatness is what you do when nobody’s watching. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

@LaciMarieKnight What makes these few hundred birds more special than the 8 million+ poultry birds (80+ different farms) euthanized in the past year in BC?

A Statement on Behalf of All Canadians We, the people of Canada, can no longer turn away when injustice unfolds before us. Our silence has cost too much—our trust, our dignity, and now, the lives of innocent creatures. At the Universal Ostrich Farm, a peaceful family stood for life, liberty, and truth—and paid the price for daring to question authority. Their ostriches, symbols of resilience and grace, were destroyed under the banner of bureaucracy and “biosecurity.” This was not just the loss of animals—it was the loss of conscience. A badge does not grant moral superiority. A piece of paper does not justify cruelty. And a weapon does not make one right. True authority flows from compassion, courage, and the people themselves. When those sworn to protect instead persecute, it is resistance—not obedience—that preserves freedom. The Universal Ostrich Farm stands as a warning and a call. If we fail to defend the innocent now, who will defend us when our turn comes? Let this moment awaken the hearts of this nation. Let us rise—not in anger, but in unwavering conviction—to hold every institution accountable to truth and humanity. We will stand. We will speak. We will not comply with tyranny. For freedom, for truth, for life—for all. Jim Kerr - Universal Ostrich Farm

@mark_slapinski @CdEntremontMP CONGRATULATIONS!

@mark_slapinski LOL

@Dallas_Brodie At least someone is thinking clearly!

Today I introduced a bill to ban teachers and public servants from performing land acknowledgments that denigrate Canadian history. The Conservatives and the NDP voted it down on First Reading.

@RHCconsulting @SharonT20519250 It’s not the same question - of course there would be a different result.

@SharonT20519250 This is far more realistic:

WHO ..did they poll. Because this is NOT believable.

@DanielTyrie That’s an idiotic question!

Should foreign-born citizens be allowed to sit in the House of Commons?

@Martyupnorth_2 More importantly, there were over 300 school shooting incidents in the US last year, and under 5 in Canada.

Fact checked true.

@pierre_barns @seanfeucht Two points: 1/ he was not “cancelled” because there never was a permit (if you remember correctly - it was denied); 2/Why did @seanfeucht not book Rotary Stadium, which was available? I can only guess his motives.

@seanfeucht was cancelled by the City of Abbotsford, but today over 20,000 people blocking streets with trucks and carrying knives is apparently perfectly fine for the city.

The real “Reality” did not resemble this “Reality” as disseminated by the “journalist”, @DreaHumphrey. Some basic questions would have changed the narrative, but that would not have made for “good” news. @RebelNewsOnline @RebelNews_CA

@DreaHumphrey “Shunned”? Do you deal in facts or in headlines? Where did you get your info from? Did you ask any questions? What kind of “journalism” do you practice? If you want to know truth, it is available - just need to ask. But that would not serve your narrative well, would it?
