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. 🇺🇸
The California elections prove one thing to me:
Leftists are truly in a cult. That, or their thinking is very cult-like.
If I lived in a city where there was garbage on the streets, open drug use, fires and destruction, graffiti, and the *one* person who could directly do something about it was like “this is horrible… someone should do something about this…” you can bet your sweet Aunt Petunia I’d be voting for the guy who is telling everyone he’s going to do something about it.
Instead, they’ll sit in their filth and grime and say “this is fine… as long as a Republican isn’t in charge, this is fine.”
Someone make it make sense to me…
@AngelaBelcamino I’m with you. They walk out onto their streets and can literally see how far it has declined but still say they will vote Democrat just because. People use to care about policies that can improve their own quality of life, but that doesn’t seem to be a factor anymore.
I’m genuinely trying to understand.
You know your city has gotten significantly worse under Karen Bass, but you vote for her again?
Make it make sense.
What am I missing?
Don’t get mad at the slow California vote count.
Remember, they have to count all the Republican votes first… so they can figure out exactly how many Democrat votes they need to “find.”
Seen a TON of misinformation regarding transfers for Texas and Texas Tech softball. The numbers floating around are incorrect for both teams. So this should help provide some accurate information and also some context to the discussion.
Texas Tech has eight new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have 15 total transfers.
Texas has four new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have five total transfers.
Texas Tech's eight new transfers this season:
Jackie Lis (Southern Illinois)
Mia Williams (Florida)
Lagi Quiroga (Cal)
Taylor Pannell (Tennessee)
Desi Spearman (New Mexico State)
Jazzy Burns (Ohio State)
Kaitlyn Terry (UCLA)
Nikolette Schmidt (Houston)
Texas' four new transfers this season:
Kaiah Altmeyer (Arizona)
Taylor Anderson (Oklahoma State)
Brenlee Gonzales (Texas Tech)
Sophia Bordi (Oklahoma)
Texas Tech's prior transfers:
Alana Johnson (Washington)
Nija Canady (Stanford)
Mihyia Davis (Louisiana)
Chloe Riasetto (Louisiana)
Vic Valdez (Louisiana)
Lauren Allred (Louisiana)
Makayla Garcia (UT-Tyler)
Texas' prior transfers:
Kaydee Bennett (Abilene Christian)
One other note of context: Gerry Glasco took over at Texas Tech prior to the 2025 season. Davis, Riassetto, Allred, and Valdez came with him from Louisiana (along with the now graduated Alexa Langeliers) to help build this new program that had only three returners from the 2024 team: Reagan Jennings, Logan Halleman, and Demi Elder.
They had three players left from the prior era. The portal (and their eight-player recruiting class for 2025) was necessary to mold a roster out of thin air.
So anyway, stop sharing that bogus graphic... and also stop acting like any team that is utilizing the transfer portal or NIL (Texas, Texas Tech or anyone else) is doing anything wrong.
Funny how the same people saying Spencer Pratt shouldn’t be mayor because he has no political experience were the ones pushing for Mamdani to be mayor of NYC despite never even having a job before.
We see you.
FROM A FRIEND IN CALI 🚨
California polling is absolutely insane.
I roll up, no Identification no ballot and ask if they can print me out a ballot. They say sure. Whats the first 3 letters of your last name and first 3 letters of your first name? Sil and Chr
They come back with Christian Silviera on Ripon rd. Easily could have said yes but didn't. Went through about 20 names until he found mine with the correct address. Prints it out and sends me to a station to fill it out. Now I guarantee there's professional voters running around this state just spitting names out and hitting up as many locations as they can. This isn't fair elections it's pure corruption.
In Florida you showed up, handed your identification over to be scanned then it was printed out and you were removed from a list. That seems a whole lot more sensible than this operation.
1. Craig Snider resigned on June 9, 2024
2. Glasco was hired on June 20, 2024
3. Texas Tech had 3 girls on the roster when he arrived
4. He brought 4 girls from Louisiana with him who he recruited out of HS.
5. It was late June. HS recruiting was over
So… what should Tech have done for the 2025 season? Not field a team and then go to HS recruiting so they could have a team for 2026 and everyone in the softball universe feels better?
Fact is, he had to build a roster. We have invested donors and one was a member of our softball team in the early 2000’s. He used those resources to put a team together.
Every team in every sport at every university uses the portal to put together the best team possible that they can assemble. He took a badass pitcher and a rag tag team who could small ball the hell out of you to the final game of the season. Maybe just maybe, he’s a good coach.
I love how Coach Signetti is allowed to show up to the worst football program in college football history. Like 134 years and 13 bowl appearances. Flips an entire roster, makes the playoff, the next year wins the whole damn thing and he is absolutely praised for it. Gets $13 million a year for it. Has donors like Mark Freaking Cuban. But since they are Big 10, it’s allowed.
But little ole Texas Tech needs to remember its place in this world and shouldn’t be doing this at all so the blue bloods feel good at the end of the day.
Oh and not embracing it? 😂 we have put literal pump jacks on campus. Our GM for football tweets out “stay mad, buy gas”. Our students hold up signs saying “we love oil money”
We know exactly who the hell we are. We were the school punched down on for years…. And now it’s not fun for everyone else when the rabbit has the gun.
How do I know the media is brainwashing people?
Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.
Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.
It is the same person.....Tom Homan....
The only difference? The narrative.
Amazing how someone can turn a 15 second clip into a character evaluation.
I played for Coach Glasco both collegiately and professionally. I’d run through a wall for him all over again.
He cared about us.
He showed up for us as people.
Sure he taught me how to be a great hitter, but coaching is more than skills & strategy. It carries life lessons.
This is a man who was patient with me while recovering from an injury that kept me off the field. It wasn’t my best decision, but he understood.
This is a man who made sure I had somewhere to go for Thanksgiving while I recovered from knee surgery & couldn’t be with my family.
He coaches hard. Holds you accountable. But that’s what all great coaches do.
You can debate strategy all you want.
But questioning his character, our how much he cares about his athletes is a battle you will lose with anyone who’s actually played for him.
The most accurate description of leftists.👇
Pride Month be like:
LGBT: I'm gay
Everyone else: Ok
LGBT: I'm REALLY fucking gay
Everyone else: ok
LGBT: Teach your kids about it or you're a bigot
Everyone else: Okay, that's a little too far—
LGBT: FUCK YOU, YOU TRANSPHOBIC NAZI FASCIST
Everyone else: Yeah… this movement has lost the plot.
LGBT: OmG I'm literally shaking, so oppressed, biggest victim in human history.
And that boys and girls is it in a nutshell.
