A veteran is someone who wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America,’ for an amount up to and including their life. To every man and woman who has worn the uniform , past and present , thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and love for this nation.

One of the greatest things happening through The 50 Yard Challenge has nothing to do with grass. It’s the relationships being built along the way. Our kids are stepping outside of their normal circles and meeting people in their communities they may have never had the opportunity to know otherwise—veterans, senior citizens, people with disabilities, single parents, first responders, and neighbors from all walks of life. They’re hearing their stories, shaking their hands, sharing conversations, and learning firsthand that a community becomes stronger when we take the time to care about one another.
Every lawn these kids mow is leaving an impression far beyond the yard. Their neighbors are seeing young people who are willing to work hard, serve others, and give without expecting anything in return. At the same time, these kids are learning compassion, responsibility, respect, and what it truly means to be a good neighbor. One day they’ll grow up, start families, build careers, and become leaders in their own communities—but the lessons they’re learning right now will stay with them. We may have started with a simple idea of kids mowing lawns, but it has grown into something much bigger: young people creating connections, changing lives, and becoming the kind of neighbors every community needs.

Beautiful Michigan, it’s so wonderful to be back in your great state! It’s a little chilly up here, but I don’t mind one bit! I’m making my way north to Traverse City, where I’ll be taking part in the Moonbeam Book Festival tomorrow. Later that evening, I’ll be attending the book awards ceremony, where my first three books have earned second place in the Best Nonfiction Book Series category! If you’re in the area, please stop by and say hello. I’d love to meet you!

Things are looking weird. Keep your eyes open.
One pillar is holding up the economy.
AI and tech investment account for roughly a third of US GDP growth. Strip out AI spending and business equipment investment is actually falling. The 7 biggest tech stocks are 35% of the S&P 500, the same concentration we saw at the dot-com peak.
That pillar was built on debt.
AI-related debt issuance is ~$466 billion so far in 2026, up from $101 billion at this point last year. Big Tech is spending around 92% of its operating cash flow on AI infrastructure. CoreWeave’s default insurance implies ~63% odds of default within five years. Oracle carries ~$129B in debt plus ~$260B in data center leases that run 15-19 years, while some customer contracts last only five. Over $1 trillion of AI debt is expected to come from private credit, much of it off the books, with banks lending to those funds and insurers buying the paper.
Politics is now pulling the plug.
After Tuesday’s midterms, states whose new leaders back data center moratoriums hold 45% of planned US capacity. Texas’s incoming governor promised a moratorium on any new data center approvals. Governors don’t need Congress to do this, and Washington can’t easily override them. A delayed project still pays off eventually. A stopped project leaves lenders holding empty land and chips that lose value fast. Chip stocks are already down ~40% from their July peak.
Money is getting more expensive.
Inflation is 3.7%, energy is up 20% over the year, and the Fed raised rates in September. The 10-year Treasury hit ~5.2% in October. Every company that needs to refinance will pay more.
The rescuers are boxed in.
Washington pays over $1 trillion a year in interest alone, a record share of the economy. Federal debt is ~100% of GDP, vs ~35% before 2008. A Fed rescue would mean printing money into near-4% inflation. And a divided government is heading straight for a debt-limit fight.
To be fair: the jobs report today was strong (165K added, 4.1% unemployment), and the biggest tech companies can cut spending without going broke. But watch jobless claims, private credit withdrawals, and AI borrower defaults. If those turn, the people who rescued us in 2008 and 2020 have far less room this time.

Will your child be the next to accept The 50 Yard Challenge? Summer may be winding down and school may be starting again soon, but the opportunity to serve never ends. The 50 Yard Challenge is open year-round and includes more than mowing lawns. Kids can also rake leaves, shovel snow, and pick up litter while helping the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans in their own communities.
As children complete milestones, they earn different colored T-shirts, and once they finish 50 free yards, they receive a brand-new mower, weed eater, and leaf blower. There is no deadline and no need to rush—they can start today and finish next year. What matters most is getting kids active, teaching them the value of service, and showing them that even one small act of kindness can make a lasting difference. Talk to your child today about accepting The 50 Yard Challenge!

Elon Musk was 31 years old when he sold PayPal & received around 176 million dollars for it.
That's $176,000,000 he had.
Everyone else buys a yacht, mansions, & dips out after that. (While lecturing the common folk about climate change).
Instead Elon bet it all on Tesla, SpaceX, & continued to push mankind forward.
He keeps innovating.
He figured out how to launch rockets into space & bring them back safely!
He's giving Internet to the world!
He single-handedly saved free speech purchasing X!
He employs over 160,000 people!
He paid 9 billion in taxes last year!
He's done more for GREEN ENERGY with Tesla than every NGO combined.
I'll never understand the hate for this guy.
He's the Isaac Newton of our time.
And look I don't agree with everything he does or says & if ever tries to put that neurolink thing in my brain that's a NO.....
But man it's INSANE anyone could not simply just say THANKS ELON for all do for humans.
Everyone should be grateful for this guy & set aside any jealousy, envy, & political crap! He's a builder! Say thanks & let him build!!!
