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. 🇺🇸

I would like to impart on you 3 Reasons you should NEVER leave the bedside of your hospitalized loved one, especially if they are OVER-65:

1. You need to make sure all medications are correct, including the team knowing their correct home meds (these may need adjustment, but make sure they are correctly listed). Every time a nurse administers a medicine, ask the name and dose. They should already do this, but you will make sure.

2. Avoid Sinking In Bed Syndrome. This is muscular deconditioning that will happen if your loved one doesn’t get out of bed and start moving as soon as they are able to. Muscles weaken fast, and most hospitals are really bad at this. You need to make sure it doesn’t happen. Insist the team gets them up into chair for meals and encourages movement with assistance if needed.

3. Raise a Red Flag if any worsening mental status or confusion. This can happen due to medications, infection, dehydration, or even lack of sleep. If it happens, you need to make sure the medical team takes it very seriously indeed.

The above 3 can be disastrous and I’ve seen them take a previously functional person to losing their independence within weeks.

If it was up to me, there would be zero visitation restrictions in hospital, as long as it wasn’t disturbing other patients.

Be a good ADVOCATE for your loved one.

You are not a pest. You will save their life!

NEW: Car registration fees have become a total scam. Newsom and the Democrats ripping you off with endless extra taxes and charges. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars a year.

NO MORE! As governor I'll cap registration at the basic fee of $71, for everyone.

CALIFORDABLE.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

You can identify all the greatest countries in the world by asking a simple question:

"Is it cool to be rich there?"

Countries that celebrate success and still have strong safety nets: Singapore, Denmark and Switzerland.

Every country that has gotten the answer to this question wrong has become economically irrelevant and a vassal state of another.

We should properly take care of everyone, but you need resources and leverage that only come in success. Many countries in Europe have become examples of not getting this right.

GREG GUTFELD: Scott Adams was the man who interrogated reality and made it talk | Greg Gutfeld, Fox News

They say when you're born, you come into life with no instruction manual.

If we're lucky, we inherit a good set of parents, who set us up with good habits and sound thinking.

We might pursue a religious practice, embrace an education, and learn to think for ourselves.

Others might not be so lucky. Anxious and unsure — we turn to other things to make sense of reality — drugs, alcohol, sex or easy money.

Without a set of instructions, we rely on what we think is our operating system: the ego.

And we protect it with all our might.

It is the ego, after all, that gets us into fights, creates resentments and wastes our time thinking about the past — ignoring the glories of the present. We find ourselves angry and irritable — pissed off at a coworker, cut off from a relative, mad over current events. And it is a devotion to an ego that makes us powerless to predict life's terms or life's turns. We end up more wrong than right, and our ego rages in response.

I came across Scott Adams accidentally, but it couldn't have come at a better time for me.

It was around 2015 or so, and I was hot and bothered by Donald Trump.

My friends and relatives had jumped aboard the Trump train, but I resisted — and resentfully so. I had my reasons for it, no doubt. But I never question what lurked beneath those reasons. Turns out it was self-doubt — the weak armor of an insecure ego.

I found myself dreading work, and angry that nearly all my predictive powers had failed. Every day I would say, "Trump's finished!" and he only got stronger. This wasn't like me.

But one day on Twitter, some soul I'll never be able to thank tweeted a simple suggestion: read Scott Adams. And, in a rare moment, I decided to heed a comment on Twitter. I googled Scott's blog. And it changed my life.

Scott was already a world-famous cartoonist, of course — the creator of "Dilbert." He had a pile of bestsellers.

Scott loved humans, but understood the nature of their pain — caused by how little they understood the reality behind the one they took as real.

But I knew little of that world. And I had no idea what I would discover when I entered the Scott Adams universe — a place where the most profound thinker ruled with a cup of coffee, a goofy grin and a deep understanding of moist robots — i.e. humans.

Scott loved humans, but understood the nature of their pain — caused by how little they understood the reality behind the one they took as real.

While some people would tell you they knew life's secrets in order to impress upon you their brilliance — Scott was only trying to help. It's why Dilbert was so successful. He was expressing the reality behind the reality. And we immediately got the joke.

Reality is subjective. And we see things as we think they are — not how they really are. And we foolishly make predictions based on those assumptions.

We had no answer key to life — and for many of us, that led us to making the same mistakes over and over. But Scott explained to us the conceptual reality behind the physical one — and it was the world of persuasion. He calmly explained how it operates — which in time made it possible to almost predict anything. Once you knew how persuasion worked, you could see around most corners.

This was the difference between Scott and most intellectuals trying to flex their brilliance.

They were interested in reversing reality — but Scott was merely trying to explain it.

And he did that every morning.

It was then, daily, that I listened to "Coffee with Scott Adams" — certain I would glean some valuable insight into the world. And that prediction never failed. He would offer reframes of issues and ideas that would change the way I looked at things.

I remember Scott talking about the joys of being fired.

Having been fired three times in my life — I remember being angry and resentful after each one. Turned out, as Scott pointed out, I should have been grateful — because each firing was a step forward into a better career. My life never got worse after being fired — it only got better.

And this pretty much holds true for everyone. Being unhappy over a firing was based on a faulty assumption that the game had just ended. When, in fact, you were just entering a new level. The game started anew. And you could do anything.

It also helped that he framed getting fired — as well as getting dumped — through the same simple filter: that the relationship was not a good fit. Once you look at losing a job or the girl as "not a good fit," you have eliminated a wound on your ever-present ego. It’s not about you.

And that frees you from the bag of rocks known as bitterness.

The ego is something that we all have and few can control. Usually the ego runs our lives, often into the ground. But Scott reframed it with an analogy — and I quote it often...

Imagine a person asks you to carry an original Picasso down the block to a gallery. You oblige, and the journey is harrowing. You pack up the painting, you wait for the rain to stop, you walk carefully and timidly — step by tiny step — terrified of pedestrians and puddles. Now imagine that same person asking you to carry a potato. Sure, no problem! You throw the spud in your pocket and head out. And if you drop it, no big deal — it's just a potato!

Then comes Scott's kill shot on the ego: Right now, your ego is a Picasso. From now on, think of it as a potato.

And when I did that, I felt a weight lift. I worried less about slights, or embarrassments. If I was wrong, I embraced it. In fact, losing the ego enabled me to see the worth in being wrong — for it merely sharpened my own ideas. I abandoned the sunk cost fallacy and learned to leave stupid opinions behind.

Scott believed in a higher power — that there is more to the world than just the physical reality.

He put his money on a simulation — that God might actually be a programmer. He would often point to an underlying structure that guides us.

I hate that Scott is gone, because he helped me so much. He changed the way I thought, and by doing so made me a happier, better version of myself.

Scott hadn't invented the idea — he was simply discovering things about life and shared them with you. This is why when you listened to his morning show you felt that you were on an anthropological dig, led by an incredibly brilliant archaeologist sifting through today's news, showing us the things that we overlooked — things that point to a reality we didn't know existed. You might call it God. Or a simulation. But it was there all right. A design and a Designer.

Adams pointed to a conceptual reality that lurks behind the physical one. And without understanding that secret knowledge, we are often disappointed and resentful.

When Scott would go to his whiteboard during his podcast, he would explain this clearly and without ego. He used his unique power for good — showing you how to reframe things like laziness, or failure, death, or loss — in ways that bettered your existence.

He often referred to the mind's mental shelf space. And while you cannot stop thinking bad thoughts (which depress you), you can crowd that stuff out and off the shelf with positive thoughts. Which is why he championed positive affirmations.

His treatment for laziness is quick and effective: imagine the outcome instead of the effort.

That tip combined both the affirmations and the shelf space analogy. Right now, your brain is focusing on the effort to do the dishes; when you could be thinking about how great it is that you have clean dishes in the cupboard and a spotless kitchen counter. You think a good thought, which crowds the bad one out — and the outcome is realized.

I am avoiding the real benefit of Scott Adams. Because it hurts. It's friendship. I lost a dear friend, someone I loved. A mentor obviously, but a friend I adored.

In his podcasts, Scott offered his hand to everyone — he would be there, 7 a.m. West Coast time, whether you showed up or not, because he knew that whoever did show up, needed a friend.

I would exercise with Scott's morning show on, daily — for nearly a decade. I would be pumping away on the Peloton, my ears fixated on Scott's observations — pausing every now and then to send myself a note about something amazing that Scott just said.

When my life changed — having a baby — I ended up not being able to listen to Scott live — so I looked forward to the comfort of a podcast banked for later.

I am avoiding the real benefit of Scott Adams. Because it hurts. It's friendship. I lost a dear friend, someone I loved. A mentor obviously, but a friend I adored.

It was a good feeling to remember that, "Oh yeah, I have a Scott Adams I didn't get to!" It might be Scott’s greatest accomplishment — creating a community of gentle, intelligent beings who met every morning to share in a sip of a beverage of their choice. Those who didn't get it… well, too bad.

There are those who remain critical of Scott — but I attribute that to their ignorance. Not ignorance in general, but specific to Scott. They just had no idea what they were dealing with, when they disparaged him. It's like rejecting a gold bar because it's too heavy.

Fact is, the more you got to know him, the more valuable he became.

He was the exception to his own frame known as "The Basket Case Theory" — which stipulated that once you got to know someone you admired or envied — you'd find out they're just as messed up as you.

It was an excellent frame for people with anxiety or shyness. You might think that the unfamiliar people are judging you in that hip restaurant — but really, they're too busy judging themselves. They have their own problems and trust me — you wouldn't want them.

Scott once was posed the question: would you trade your life with anyone? It's a good question for those of us who envy the rich and famous.

But Scott said that you have no idea what the problems are of other people. The rich playboy may have syphilis; the popular actor may be riddled with alimony and addictions; the accomplished artist is almost always a nervous, palpable wreck. It was a simple reframe that helped dispense with jealousy.

But Scott's own life subverted this frame — sure, he had his own problems; but the more you got to know him — that fuller picture made him only that much more endearing.

At a certain point in his life, Scott decided to devote himself to service, and he brought that service up to his dying breath. Instead of extinguishing the flame with assisted suicide months ago — once he felt the love swirling around him — he decided to stick around for our sake.

He wouldn't leave us, not yet anyway.

He even reframed his death: that one's death is a relief for the dying, for their problems have gone. It is we who are in pain, not him.

And it's our selfish pain — that he decided to be there for!

I hate that he is gone, because he helped me so much. He changed the way I thought, and by doing so made me a happier, better version of myself.

I fear I will lose that gift now — with him gone, and I told him so a few months ago.

To which he said, "No, you got it now."

[David Marcus @davidmarcus]

Close your eyes.

Imagine a place where ocean, mountains, deserts, and lakes meet — paired with some of the most forgiving, life-giving weather on Earth. A place where almost anything grows. A place so attractive that this era’s greatest builders and innovators chose to gather there to shape the future.

And they did.

They turned it into the fifth-largest economy in the world.

An Elysium on Earth.

A place so extraordinarily fortunate that many of its people were spared the anxieties that dominate most of human life. And when survival is no longer the concern, attention drifts elsewhere. Toward injustices far away. Toward suffering not personally experienced. Toward a desire to cleanse immense good fortune by shouldering everyone else’s pain.

That impulse was put into action.

The people elected leaders who promised to right all the wrongs of the world. These leaders were not builders — those were too busy building. Instead, they were specialists in rhetoric: masters of moral language, of verbal combat, of channeling abstract ideals of justice and equity. Suicidal empathy finally found its weapon.

Meanwhile, the builders — optimistic, competitive, forward-looking — kept building. They ignored the slow erosion of common sense metastasizing around them.

Years passed.
Things worsened.

The cancer took hold.

Zombies appeared.

Not monsters from fiction, but human beings hollowed out — addicted, untreated, unaccountable — wandering through once-beautiful streets. Downtowns decayed. Public spaces emptied. The social contract dissolved in plain sight.

The people who wanted to fix the world now felt unsafe in their own neighborhoods. But they blamed themselves. They rejected self-will and agency. They believed that when individuals collapse, society must have failed first.

So they doubled down.

More years passed. On top of zombies and collapsing public order came an exploding cost of living. The place became unaffordable for most. People began to leave.

That’s when those in power panicked.

If the people who kept them in office were leaving, how would they remain in power? After all, this was not just their job — it was the only thing they were capable of doing. They could not build, create, or compete in any environment that rewards real output. Outside of politics, they would have nothing to offer and nowhere to hide. So they adapted — not by fixing what was broken, but by rigging the system to ensure they would never have to face a world that measures value by results.

They imported voters.
They diluted standards.
They stretched rules past recognition.

Ballot harvesting. Voting without identification. Endless “emergency” justifications.

They let cities burn — sometimes metaphorically, sometimes literally.

Eventually, the builders noticed. Too late. And they began to leave as well.

The place that once held every advantage any society could dream of — the place where the future was being built — started to collapse.

The cancer and its caregivers transformed Elysium into Tartarus.

This is the path California is on.

Whether this paradise becomes hell is still within our control — but not indefinitely. The window is closing.

Let’s fight back and make it Elysium again.
