Im in tears. Donald Trump invited the hardworking men who renovated the Reflecting Pool to the Oval
Every man received a signed hat and a presidential challenge coin
I LOVE THIS ❤️
WHOA! You've got to see this. This is the view looking northwest from Rochester, New York this evening. See that needle in the distance? That's not supposed to be there. But it is. You're looking at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada over 100 miles away. The 1,815 foot observation tower should not be visible at this great distance. But under certain conditions, the bending of light can make it seem like it's right in front of you.
This is a spectacular example of a mirage. Layers of cool vs. warm air bend and warp light. It can distort objects, enlarge them, even make them feel like they're right in your backyard. Note how wonky the even sky looks adjacent to the CN Tower in this image. The mirage is affecting the clouds and sky as a whole. I've seen some strange mirages through the years and this is the most pronounced cases of the CN Tower I've captured.
CAMEO IN THE CLOUDS! Look closely toward the top left portion of this image. Can you see the two points of white light looking back at you like a pair of eyes? That's Venus and Jupiter. They're so bright, they're visible even in the remnant glow of twilight. The two planets continue inching closer to one another and will be at their closest approach Monday into Tuesday.
I'm amazed they showed up on a shot only 30 minutes after sunset. Once nightfall arrives, they'll be torches in the night sky. Hopefully, we'll get to see the northern lights alongside them come Sunday night!
Good morning. The longest day of the year (summer solstice) is only 14 days away, marking the astronomical first day of summer. Gotta take advantage of every sunrise.
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. 🇺🇸
