My first trip to Omaha was 1996. 30 years later @WillFurniss is taking us back. @CoachMikeBianco becomes the first to coach a father and son in the @CWSOmaha . Skip Bertman’s system still works!
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. 🇺🇸
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.
Family, help me give a BIG welcome to Maxx & Sonny of Tahlequah OK .These two amazing young leaders have stepped up to take on the 50 Yard Challenge, committing to mow 50 FREE lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans in their community.
🚨The Minnesota fraud empire is falling:
Yesterday 15 fraudsters were charged and $90 million was busted. The MSM tried to cover for the fraudsters. @GovTimWalz called it "white supremacy" to expose it and @IlhanMN is completely SILENT.
Independent journalism defeated an entire fraud network upheld by billions of dollars with support from corrupt politicians who allowed this fraud and the MSM who failed to report it.
Major win for America and hardworking law-abiding taxpaying citizens. This is just the beginning.
Arrest them all.
A new era begins for us.
Introducing The Black Jacket.
From this point forward, kids who complete the 50 Yard Challenge will earn a black varsity jacket as a symbol of their hard work, dedication, and service to their community.
We’ll also soon be introducing special patches and badges that participants can earn .
The inspiration behind the Black Jacket comes from the tradition of the green jacket awarded at The Masters Tournament, creating a meaningful symbol that represents excellence, commitment, and achievement within our program.
@zoots1515@Chrisxy24 Yea, most don’t recognize that.
The avg. age of the fighters were 10 years older than him, all of them past their prime.
Not saying they would have faired any better, but 10 years is a pretty big gap for fighters.
🚨WOW!!!

A los 30 años, borracho y sin trabajo, me senté en el borde de la cama y pensé: "Anthony, no puedes seguir así".
Había llegado a Londres desde Gales con un sueño: ser actor. Pero el sueño se convirtió en pesadilla. El alcohol me controlaba. Perdía papeles, mi mujer me dejó, mis amigos me abandonaron. Pasaba los días en bares oscuros y las noches en camerinos vacíos.
Una noche, en 1967, entré en una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos. Tenía miedo. No del alcohol, sino de mí mismo. De la debilidad que sentía al pedir ayuda.
No bebí un solo trago en 57 años.
Después llegó la sobriedad. Y con ella, el trabajo. "El hombre elefante", "Los restos del día", "El Silencio de los Corderos... un Oscar y muchos premios. Una carrera que todavía hoy continúa.
Pero la fama no curó las heridas. Tuve que aprender a vivir conmigo mismo a aceptar mi pasado y a perdonarme.
Hace unos años, durante la pandemia, grabé un video que se hizo viral. Hablaba de no rendirse. Hablaba de la vejez, de la soledad, del valor de seguir adelante. No lo hice por fama. Lo hice porque aquel chico de 30 años necesitaba oír esas palabras.
Si hoy te sientes perdido, si el alcohol o cualquier otra droga te está destruyendo, pide ayuda. Yo lo hice. Y aquí estoy, medio siglo después, sobrio y contándotelo.
No hay vergüenza en caer. La hay en no levantarse.

Happy birthday, Louisiana! ⚜️ ☀️ 🐊 🐟
On this day in 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state admitted to the U.S. Union. We're 214 years old today, and still as vibrant as ever!
