Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
You’ll notice there is no look-back celebration or remembrance of this or virtually any of the other great moral victories from that era. It’s all been memory holed, a will-o'-the-wisp dimming out in the far distance.
Getting violent criminals off the streets and preventing repeat offenders are necessary for a functioning society.
People should be able to take public transportation, eat at restaurants and walk the streets without fear that they will be killed.
Americans deserve safe cities.
Happy Pride Month from these monsters.
They’re rotting in prison — 100 years, no parole — for raping their adopted little boys.
This is what they celebrate. Disgusting.
Truly incredible to watch so many people who spent the last three months crashing out over Trump attacking Iran now pivoting to...attacking Trump over making peace with Iran.
I'd love to say "pick a side," but these people have already picked one.
Trump does anything = bad
Meanwhile, normal people are hoping that this peace deal actually materializes and we can wrap up this stupid war as soon as possible.
The only people who are upset at the prospect of ending this conflict are Democrats and Neocons for obvious reasons, and subversive counter-signalers who are upset at the prospect of having to construct a new agitprop campaign to demoralize people over.
Today, with great humility and sincere appreciation, I shared the below letter with President Trump. It has been a profound honor to serve the American people as DNI.
