@Manhattva @BasedMikeLee It is repulsive, and the beauty of freedom of expression is we get to see them for the evil they are, let them speak, and love the freedom of expression enough to allow them to experience the consequences of their actions.

Something fascinating is happening in education right now.

I recently went down a rabbit hole researching homeschooling, and the data is fascinating.

Research from the National Home Education Research Institute shows homeschool students typically score 15–25 percentile points higher on standardized tests, and about 78% of peer-reviewed studies show homeschool students outperforming traditional school students academically.

But what really surprised me was seeing it firsthand.

I recently ran a financial literacy course through Classical Learner, and I was blown away by the students.

One 14 year old was running a business with nine employees.

And I began teaching a 9 year old the Buy Borrow Die strategy.

Can you imagine learning a strategy used by billionaire families to build wealth… at age nine?

What I saw with these homeschool students is that they weren’t memorizing facts for a test.

They were thinking, building, and solving real problems.

This ties directly into neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself during childhood based on experience and learning environments.

Research from Harvard University, Stanford University, and MIT shows that learning environments focused on problem solving and curiosity produce stronger long-term outcomes than education built primarily around memorization.

Which leads to a simple observation.

Students raised in environments that encourage independent thinking, entrepreneurship, and curiosity develop skills that compound over time.

And that creates a massive competitive advantage for life.

The great news for America is that roughly 7.8% of American children are now being homeschooled, and that number continues to rise as families look for education that prioritizes curiosity, entrepreneurship, and independent thinking.

Farmer: "Only if the total number of cows is increasing."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "Stable populations are carbon neutral. Methane breaks down in twelve years back to CO2. Same CO2 the grass absorbed last year."
Activist: "But it's still emissions..."
Farmer: "It's a cycle. Carbon goes: grass to cow to methane to CO2 to grass. Round and round."
Activist: "That's not how it works."
Farmer: "That's exactly how the biogenic carbon cycle works."
Activist: "I've never heard of that."
Farmer: "Because admitting ruminants are climate neutral doesn't sell plant-based products."
Activist: "You're making this up."
Farmer: "Published research. Look up 'biogenic carbon cycle.' I'll wait."

I’m honored and incredibly excited to share that I’ve accepted the position of Executive Director of the Five County Association of Governments! It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to serve the communities and counties of beautiful southwest Utah, and I’m looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.

Leaving the Utah Department of Public Safety, Bureau of EMS wasn’t an easy decision. It has been an amazing experience to be part of such a committed and talented team. I’m especially proud of the work we accomplished together—successfully transitioning the Bureau from DHHS to DPS, navigating challenges, and building a stronger, more responsive organization through two legislative sessions and a major reorganization. We have changed the way Utah EMS will work moving forward, I have high expectations of the legislative outcomes we have championed. 

To the incredible EMS Bureau staff—thank you for your passion, your resilience, and your commitment to public safety. You’ve made a real difference across the state, and it’s been an honor to lead alongside you.

A heartfelt thank you to Commissioner Jess Anderson and Commissioner Beau Mason for placing your trust in me to guide the Bureau of EMS. Your support and belief in our mission made all the difference.

Now, I’m turning the page and stepping into a new chapter—one focused on regional leadership, collaboration, and finding solutions that meet the unique needs of rural Utah. I’m ready to listen, to learn, and to lead.

Southwest Utah, let’s get to work. 💪

"I’ve seen a lot of criticism of RFK Jr. since his autism speech yesterday.
So I decided to do something radical… I watched the full speech.
(I know — crazy concept: go to the source and form your own opinion instead of blindly repeating media narratives and social media memes.)
And what I found didn’t exactly match the headlines.
So in this post, I want to address the five biggest criticisms I’ve seen and share my take.
But first — let me say this:
Whatever you think of his policies, one thing seems clear to me after listening to RFK Jr. speak: he genuinely seems to care about the children and families affected by autism. You can disagree with his conclusions, but to paint him as evil or malicious is unfair... and, frankly, dishonest.
⸻
Criticism #1: “He called autism an ’epidemic.’”
Yes, he did ... to highlight the steep rise in diagnoses. (CDC data shows 1 in 31 kids today.)
The term "epidemic" does not always imply something contagious. I find it unlikely that those criticizing his use of the word "epidemic" showed the same level of outrage when it was used to describe the obesity epidemic or the fentanyl epidemic.
⸻
Criticism #2: “He said autistic kids will never have jobs, never pay taxes, never go on dates.”
This is wildly misleading and out of context. Just moments before making that statement, he referred specifically to the 25% of cases classified as severe (children who are nonverbal, not toilet trained, and unable to care for themselves). Clearly, within this context, his remarks were not about all autistic children. Anyone claiming otherwise is either unaware of this context or deliberately misrepresenting his words.
⸻
Criticism #3: “He rejected the science — autism is genetic, not caused by toxins.”
This claim misrepresents his stance. He didn’t dismiss the role of genetics; rather, he stated that while genes might create a vulnerability, they alone cannot explain an epidemic. This perspective is far from fringe. Even the CDC acknowledges that environmental factors may play a role. His argument isn’t anti-science; it’s a reasonable call for a more balanced exploration of potential causes.
⸻
Criticism #4: “He’s pushing anti-vax conspiracy theories again!”
This one is just false. Not once during his 27-minute speech did he mention vaccines. Instead, he discussed toxins such as mold, pesticides, and additives. But the media (who appear to hate him for past positions) decided to resurrect the vaccine angle even though he didn’t bring it up. This is yet another example of a targeted smear campaign by individuals more invested in promoting narratives than seeking the truth.
⸻
Criticism #5: “His words were emotionally harmful to autistic people and their families.”
I guess this one depends on your perspective. Yes, his language was intense, but maybe what’s also harmful is ignoring the existence of the most severe forms of autism. RFK Jr. is amplifying the voices of parents whose children face extreme challenges, such as self-injurious behaviors, inability to speak, constant supervision needs, and requiring round-the-clock care. These families are real, and their struggles are profound. For once, someone on a national platform is recognizing their pain and saying, “We see you, and we are committed to understanding why this is happening.”
⸻
I’m not saying RFK Jr. is perfect. His words could’ve been clearer. His policy ideas are certainly open to scrutiny. But let’s stop pretending he dehumanized autistic people or rejected science.
He’s asking tough questions. He’s challenging the status quo.
And instead of outrage, maybe we should welcome the conversation.
Watch the speech. Check the CDC data.
And let’s focus on facts instead of clickbait."

Happiness isn’t something you earn, it’s something you CHOOSE.

International Day of Happiness is a reminder that JOY is our true nature. HAPPINESS is our power—and our choice. We don’t have to wait for something big to feel happy—there is magic in the little things, too.
