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 know what
I’m restarting the $100 to $10,000 challenge.
I want everyone to have a fair shot at this.
Last time it took me about 5 days, will try to do it faster this time.

In my hometown of Oldham, the White working class mobilised in record numbers and wrestled control of the council from Arooj Shah. Even lifetime Labour supporters voted with us to remove the Pakistani Rape Gand protecting Labour Party from control of the town.
No one should be surprised by what happened next and how Starmer's new safeguarding women and girls tsar, @HarrietHarman, has now been exposed promoting @shah_arooj to the House of Lords.

To: Admitted Students on Ivy Decision Day
From: UATX
Congratulations. Getting in was hard and you should be proud. Now here’s some unsolicited advice so you don’t waste the next four years.
Go to class. We know this sounds obvious. But as the New York Times reported recently, Harvard students routinely skip class, rarely speak up when they're there, and focus on their devices instead of the discussion. Faculty say few students do enough preparation to contribute meaningfully. The average college student spends about 20 hours a week on class and studying combined. At UATX, we aim for 50. That’s the difference between a part-time commitment and a full-time job. You (or your parents) are about to spend upwards of $90K a year. If you don't show up, you're paying roughly $250 per skipped lecture for the privilege of sleeping in.
Read the books yourself. Your generation is the first to arrive at college post-literate — raised on short-form video, dependent on algorithms, and increasingly incapable of sitting with a difficult text long enough to let it change your mind. Ninety percent of college students use AI academically. This makes you more reliant on the authority of others. Most professors will also stand between you and the text. They’ll tell you what Marx “really meant,” what Aristotle “failed to see,” as though an academic in 2026 has outsmarted minds that shaped civilizations. The good professors do the opposite: they put you in front of the book and they work with you to find what a great mind has to teach us directly. Find those professors, and read everything yourself.
Say what you actually think. Seventy-three percent of conservative students report withholding their political views in class out of fear their grades will suffer. Our advice isn't political; it's intellectual. If you spend four years learning to say what's expected instead of what's true, you’ll graduate roughly where you started — just older, more credentialed, and more practiced at self-censorship. One study finds that nearly half of students show no measurable gains in “critical thinking” after two years in college. Keep this in mind as you make decisions about which professors to take and how to do your assignments. Taking a small hit on your paper to gain integrity and wisdom is usually worth it.
Ask for real grades. Sixty percent of Harvard undergraduate grades are now A’s. Twenty-five years ago, it was 20%. It got so bad that the legendary Harvard professor, Harvey Mansfield, started giving students two grades: the official one for their transcript, and a private one reflecting what they actually earned. He called the official grades “ironic.” So here's a suggestion: Take your A, but also ask your professors for a “Mansfield grade” so that you know where you stand. And don’t avoid difficult courses to keep your transcript clean for law school.
Get work experience before you graduate. Forty-two percent of recent college graduates are working jobs that don't require a degree. Many employers are projecting the next few years to be the worst college grad job market in years. A degree alone — even from an Ivy — is not a job guarantee. Seek out apprenticeships, internships, and real work starting freshman year. The students at UATX are connected with entrepreneurs and business leaders from day one. Many will graduate with four years of work experience alongside their degree. You can build something similar at your school, but you'll have to do it yourself.
Understand how debt shapes your life. If you're paying full freight or even half, do the math with your eyes open. Your decision to take on debt will quietly reshape the trajectory of your adult life through countless small surrenders: the job you take because it’s safe instead of starting the company. The city you choose to live in. The relationship you delay and the kids you don’t have. For women, a $1,000 increase in student loan debt lowers the odds of marriage by 2% per month in the first four years after graduation. None of that shows up in the college brochure. If you're going to take on debt, treat it like the constraint it is from day one: save aggressively and make sure every dollar is buying something that will actually compound in your favor.
Find the people who take school seriously. The best thing about a great school isn't the lectures or the library. It's the handful of professors and students who are genuinely there to learn — who read ahead, argue in good faith, and push you to be sharper. Find them. UATX is a small community of those who seek a serious education. At a larger university, you have to build this community yourself.

The most dangerous thing about an elite university is that it is very easy to do nothing for four years and still come out looking successful. The transcript will say you excelled. The diploma with the fancy crest will open certain doors. Your parents will be proud. And yet you will have coasted — through inflated grades, unread books, and borrowed opinions.
Getting in is an accomplishment. Making the next four years worth it will be harder, and the right decisions will change everything.
We wish you luck.
Around 2 to 3 a.m. on March 27, 2026, while most Americans were asleep, while the country assumed its elected officials were either negotiating in good faith or standing firm on principle, the United States Senate quietly slipped a knife into the process.
Five senators. That is all it took.
You, John Thune, the Majority Leader (R)
Eric Schmitt (R)
Bernie Moreno (R)
Mazie Hirono (D)
Andy Kim (R)
A skeleton crew. Designed for speed. For silence. For escape. And with that, by unanimous consent, by voice vote, with no roll call, no recorded accountability, no visible opposition, you passed a PARTIAL Department of Homeland Security funding bill.
No ICE funding. No CBP funding. At 3 a.m., with five people in the room, the United States Senate passed a bill that stripped funding from the very agencies responsible for immigration enforcement.
And you did it without forcing ANYONE to go on record. No names. No votes. No fingerprints. Just a quiet chorus of “aye” in a room so empty it practically echoed.
And then you slinked back into the night.
This is how power protects itself. With procedure. With timing. With the kind of technical maneuvering that sounds boring enough that most people will tune it out. But they should not tune this out. Not this time. Because buried inside this particular procedural maneuver is something far more revealing than any speech on the Senate floor.
It is SURRENDER.
I know what you’ll say...

SYRIA: A group of young Muslims entered the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama and tried to rape Christian girls. Brave Christian men fought them and kicked them out.
They later returned with a government-backed mob, looted homes and properties, opened fire, and arrested several Christian men who they plan to execute.
This is daily life for Christians living under Islamic rule.
I feel compelled to share some insight on the shot/bullet that killed Charlie Kirk.
I hate to wade into this conversation, but some sanity is necessary - seeing all the insane BS that’s out there.
I’m a lifelong hunter and have shot at least 75+ deer with a 30-06, and countless more with other rounds, as well as bow and arrow. I guided hunting trips full-time for a decade. I have personally seen literally hundreds if not thousands of “kill shots” with high powered rifles. And in this line of work, I studied ballistics, bullet performance, etc. I guarantee I have more first-hand knowledge than pretty much every single “influencer” out there who is presenting themselves now as an expert in this.
Two key points:
- First, bullets do inexplicable things. Yes, they always obey the laws of physics (no “magic”) but there are just so many variables that an outcome in a dynamic situation is simply not predictable within the range of possibilities.
- Second, yes it is quite possible that a 30-06 round (with a soft-point, lead-filled bullet, designed for expansion, as is the case here) would NOT make an exit wound. AND it is possible without a significant amount of external blood loss.
I once shot a deer in the head at about 100 yards with a 30-06, and there was no exit. The skin on a deer’s head is thin compared to a human neck, and the cumulative bone-mass on the bullet’s trajectory much less than a human spine. I was baffled about this (must be magic!) until I figured it out.
What happened is that (a slow-mo video would have revealed) the head instantly inflated like a balloon, and the insides turned to mush. That’s how it absorbed the bullet’s energy. It looked normal on the outside when I went to retrieve it, but on inspection it was obvious. And there was minimal blood loss (b’c the only hole was 3/10’s of an inch - ie, 30 caliber, as in 30-06 - and the skin closed around it as it sprang back after the shot).
In the sickening video of Charlie’s assassination, there is a freeze-frame where his neck did the same thing — blew up (momentarily) like a balloon before springing back. That’s where the energy went. Not rocket science.
Combined with a healthy spine (higher on the bone density scale, we are told), the thickness of skin and density of muscles in a human neck, the story we are being told is 100% plausible.
I’m not saying I know what happened. Only that the folks saying this is not possible have no idea what they’re talking about, and by spewing this ignorant crap, they are only making things worse.
If you are prone to be influenced by such ignorant conspiratorial information, please understand the context: fact is, “influencers” make their money by peddling their influence. Unethical ones do so to the highest bidder. Others have hidden agendas/biases that taint their content. Some are just batshit crazy. Some sow division on purpose, and fling out all kinds of crazy crap, just to stir the pot - to get clicks.
Psyops from myriad powers shape our social media. Generating deepfake videos is easy as logging into Grok. It’s not rocket science to gin up a “following” and appear “credible” and “sincere.” The point is, you should not wholesale believe or even give a smidge of credibility to ANYONE you don’t personally know. And even then you have to be careful.
The devil knows the more he tries to oppress revival from the outside, the more it breaks out. So the way to defeat it is to divide and conquer, through lies and deception that appear as truth. “The devil comes masquerading as an angel of light.”
Be smarter.
@RepOgles Let me say … as a new American citizen of barely three months … I was not asked to surrender/relinquish my former citizenship … but will gladly do so.
Incredible investigation today from @CBSNews. Our reporters visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California. One building had 89 registered hospices . . .

📣BREAKING TEXAS
BREAKING: Williamson County Elections Administrator @WilcoElections Caught Destroying Evidence of Surveillance Gaps
A digital clock in the Early Voting Ballot Board room exposed 2+ HOURS of missing surveillance video on 2/20/26.
What did EA Bridgette Escobedo do? She unplugged the clock. 🧵
1/ Dr. Laura Pressley was monitoring the legally required surveillance feed (Tex. Elec. Code §127.1232(b)) and noticed the clock on the EVBB table jumped from 5:18pm→6:24pm, then again from 6:47pm→7:47pm.
Over 2 hours of video — gone.
2/ AFTER those 2+ hours of missing footage, Escobedo personally delivered 4 early voting ballot boxes to the vault — alone. No Republican designee. No watchers. No chain of custody.
Then at 8:28pm she unplugged the clock.
3/ The clock stayed off for nearly 5 DAYS — eliminating the only independent timestamp that could expose future video gaps.
4/ TODAY at noon, the Republican Presiding Judge plugged the clock back in.
At 4:53pm, Escobedo marched into the EVBB room, shook the clock at the judge, and physically REMOVED it from the room.
It's all on video. The ballot board members laughed at her after she left.
5/ Why would an elections administrator remove a clock from a room with legally required 24/7 surveillance?
Because that clock is the only way the public can verify the video feed hasn't been spliced.
Williamson County, Texas. March 2026 Republican Primary. This is happening RIGHT NOW.
