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. 🇺🇸

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

During the month of May, 81 kids signed up to take on The 50 Yard Challenge and begin serving their communities by mowing free lawns for the elderly, disabled individuals, single parents, veterans, and first responders. Since starting this the organization in 2016, we are now up to 6,426 kids who have signed up nationwide for the 50 yard challenge and are closing in on an amazing milestone of 6,500 participants. To every parent who has encouraged their child to get involved, thank you. Together, we’re raising a generation that understands the value of service, hard work, and giving back. If your child is looking for a way to make a real difference in their community, we invite them to take on The 50 Yard Challenge. One act of kindness can change a life—and it all starts with one lawn at a time.

For years, people asked King Randall, “When are you going to do something for the girls?”

This week, The X For Girls became a reality. One of their first lessons: boundaries. Teaching young girls that their voice, comfort, and safety matter.

This is preparation for life. 💗

You can crash your yard's mosquito population without spraying a single chemical with a Mosquito Bucket of Doom.

Fill a 5-gallon bucket about two-thirds with water. Drop in a handful of grass clippings, leaves, or hay. Let it sit for a day, then drop in a Bti dunk (also called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, sold at any hardware store as "mosquito dunks," about $10 for six).

Mosquitoes are powerfully attracted to fermenting water and will lay their eggs in your bucket. Bti is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces a toxin that kills mosquito, blackfly, and fungus gnat larvae only.

This method doesn't harm bees, butterflies, fireflies, fish, frogs, birds, pets, or people. BTI dunks are EPA-approved for organic use and safe in animal water troughs and birdbaths.

One dunk lasts about 30 days. Top off the water as it evaporates. Cover with 1/2-in Mesh Hardware Cloth to prevent animals from getting trapped and put the bucket somewhere shady where pets and kids won't get into it.

The bucket becomes a mosquito magnet and a dead end. Compare that to fogging the entire yard with pyrethroids, which kills every insect in it, including the predators that eat mosquitoes.

Doug Tallamy's Homegrown National Park has been running the "Mosquito Bucket Challenge" since 2021. The more buckets in a neighborhood, the bigger the dent. One bucket per yard is a great start.

When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.

Gen X does not care if you don’t like us. You think cancel culture scares a generation raised by neglect, nicotine, secondhand smoke, and ‘figure it out’? We were left in the car with the windows cracked. Try again. 😂

Day 4 out beating the streets. I’m out here to earn your vote. This is real grassroots. I’m not just demanding your vote or taking you for granted , I’m going to earn your vote.

I’m not getting a lot of money to help me, but God is on my side, and He’s showing me that if He is for me, He is more than the world against me.

This is what I love, talking to people, listening to them, and letting them know change is coming. We are going to make a difference. It’s all about community. Chicagoans, it’s all about community. We can have everything we deserve. That’s the way forward.

I had a great time being out in the community talking to citizens. Most agree: we need change. People say they’ve never seen Chicago like this before, and we all agree , the leadership here has to GO.

It was a beautiful day connecting with Chicagoans, hearing directly from the people, Chicagoans first.

Love you, Chicagoans.

This lady is driving down a stretch of road on St. Louis St. in Springfield, Missouri.

She is driving exactly 30
Mph and as she does so the rumble strips create the melody of “America The Beautiful”. This just opened up recently.

The song was chosen as a tribute to America’s open road, the spirit of Route 66 and the upcoming celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. ❤️🇺🇸

I think that is too cool. Love when towns and cities are patriotic. 💯

Never knew this existed or was a thing. I’ve heard there are other roads in our beautiful country that have other songs as well.

Did you know this existed? Have you ever driven on a road where the rumble strips play a song before? Isn’t that cool?

A turtle came into Wild At Heart Rescue in Mississippi last week painted from head to toe in silver and red. People keep doing this and it has to stop.

A turtle's shell is living tissue full of blood vessels that absorbs sunlight to produce vitamin D, helps the turtle regulate body temperature, and in many aquatic species participates in the animal's breathing system.

When a turtle is painted, all of that gets blocked. The turtle is no longer able to synthesize vitamin D where it's been painted and can develop metabolic bone disease as a result. (soft bones, deformed shell, slow death).

The painted shell loses its camouflage too, making the turtle visible to every hawk and raccoon in the area.

Removing the paint isn't a quick wash with a sponge. It involves multiple veterinary sessions, often with sedation, and many turtles arrive too damaged to ever recover.

If you see a turtle with paint on its shell, do not try to clean it yourself. Call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator right away.

Company fires entire HR department, stock soars as culture goes from woke clownshow to “get ‘er done.”

HR is an $88 billion ideological commissar that makes workers miserable, crushes companies, and actually reduces diversity as employees walk on eggshells.

I’m hoping that my posts about historic food will reach you through all the outrage on Twitter/X.

Do you think too that there should be a place for comfort posts about things that unite & don’t divide? Like buns for example?
