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. 🇺🇸
🚨 🚨 BEZOS HAS 3 OPTIONS LEFT AFTER NEW GLENN'S LAUNCHPAD EXPLOSION. ALL 3 ARE CATASTROPHIC.
This is the moment nobody wants to talk about.
After years of development, a $1B+ heavy-lift rocket program, and a final ground test before Amazon's Kuiper satellite mission → Blue Origin is now boxed into THREE choices. And every single one is a nightmare:
⚠️ OPTION 1: REBUILD LC-36 FROM SCRATCH
– The only launchpad Blue Origin owns is now a debris field
– One 600-foot lightning tower toppled. Erector-gantry: gone. Ground equipment: destroyed.
– Pad rebuilds after a full vehicle explosion take 12–24 months minimum
– Amazon's Kuiper constellation — already years behind SpaceX Starlink — falls further behind
– Every month of delay costs Amazon market share it cannot get back
⚠️ OPTION 2: BORROW OR BUY LAUNCH CAPACITY FROM A COMPETITOR
– The only competitor with available heavy-lift pads is SpaceX
– Asking your direct rival for a launchpad is not a business negotiation — it's a surrender
– SpaceX has every incentive to slow-walk, overcharge, or simply say no
– Amazon would be funding the company that is actively destroying Kuiper's market window
– Jeff Bezos built Blue Origin specifically to avoid this dependency
⚠️ OPTION 3: ABSORB THE DELAY AND KEEP INVESTING
– New Glenn's first stage was enveloped in fire during a routine hotfire test — the final check before orbital flight
– The vehicle collapsed. The upper stage tilted and fell. Fires burned at multiple stories
– This wasn't a launch failure. This was a ground test. The hardest problems haven't even been attempted yet.
– Blue Origin has no second pad, no backup vehicle, and no timeline for the next attempt
– And Starlink already has 7,000+ satellites in orbit
Let that sink in.
There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. There is no "we rebuild and catch up by Q4."
The media is showing you "rocket science is hard" and "no injuries reported."
They're NOT showing you that Blue Origin just destroyed its only launchpad — the single piece of infrastructure that connects years of development to an actual orbital mission — three hours before midnight on May 28, 2026.
This is the most consequential single test failure any American space company has faced since SpaceX's Pad 40 explosion in 2016.

My son is a network admin changing locations, backfilling his old position which they posted. Looking for an onsite CS grad.
Can you guess what happened?
Result > 900 resumes from India. They found their American applicant to fill the roles, but a bunch of IT dudes that they are...decided to run them through HR and AI software found nearly all of them were fake. Credentials didn't match colleges, colleges didn't offer degrees, 2 yrs master's with no undergrad, etc. Meanwhile, we have Americans who must provide transcripts and background information repeatedly passed over for positions where H1B are hiring other H1-B.
It's an illusion. It's largely all corruption. It's a chip on a poker table for our politicians to trade for international agreements.
Hi there, Governor.
Both of these photos show decommissioned projects that were completed.
The photo your staffer shared on the left is the original Seven Mile Bridge connecting the Florida mainland to the Keys that was operational between 1912 and 1982 (refurbished for automobiles after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935) until sections of it were removed for the new bridge.

The photograph on the right shows the U.S. Route 96 Neches River Bridge just west of Evadale, Texas. It was decommissioned when a new one was built a half a mile or so to the northwest because the highway was rerouted.

What a colossal failure of a dunk attempt this turned out to be.
You and your team are LOSERS!! 🤣
You can’t watch this, especially the last part where President Trump talks about using the vast resources of the U.S. military to clean up problems created by decades of tolerating and emboldening bad actors, without thinking that none of this would be happening if certain things had gone differently.
Without the 2020 election “fortification,” his second term would have barely mattered, and we’d be back to the establishment, in the form of Pence or Kamala, kicking the can down the road. Without the nonstop hoaxes and lies, his presidency probably would have played out like most others. Trying to lock him up for four straight years didn’t have the desired effect either. If anything, it only strengthened his resolve to go all in.
And perhaps most importantly, the repeated assassination attempts only reinforced that resolve. The knowledge that, but for a split-second turn of the head or an alert Secret Service agent spotting someone in the bushes, he’d be dead, is the sort of brutal clarity that focuses a person to do the big things, and do them now.
I hated every one of those moments when they happened, but in hindsight, maybe they were necessary. And now we’re seeing the payoff, the result of all that fire, with Trump reshaping the world in ways that could not have happened otherwise.
For those getting mad over this, no, we're not against the rule of law in principle, but we acknowledge the obvious fact that it's been dead for decades.
Democrats imported 10 million illegal immigrants, locked people in their homes, discriminated against them for not taking an experimental vaccine, and a host of other lawless actions that no court, legal procedure, or concern for "principles" ever stopped. They get elected to statewide office or to local DA positions and decide they're going to unilaterally refuse to enforce laws. They use the Supreme Court to create fictional rights to abortion, homosexuality, and DEI with not even the most cursory preoccupation with "the American tradition."
Insisting on legalism with leftists is like playing a soccer game with your feet while the other team scores every goal with their hands. The constitutional order requires a set of assumptions, practices, and norms to properly exist; the founders emphasize this repeatedly. Those norms are dead. The left killed them, and there's no going back.
