Want the world to be better. Will retweet news updates, truth, comments or positive images that are important. MAGA & MAHA. Retired non-profit director. No DMs.
Years ago I was an Exec Director for the Red Cross. What they did then & now are very different. What Fema did then & now are very different. Current mission is DEI under Kamala/Biden & will not help unless a person fits criteria of receiving govt help & no insurance. Unless have flood insurance, regular insurance will not help. Flood, water or rain not covered without specialized insurance for it. Fema used to help with home loans to rebuild & would give basic furniture & appliances to replace loss. Physical & monetary donations are taken from donors & now owned by Fema. Flights are stopped to aid victims. What is going on?
In 1958, a divorced single mom got fired from her secretary job for being a bad typist.
21 years later, she sold her side hustle for $47.5 million.
And her teenage helper would go on to help invent MTV.
Her name was Bette Nesmith Graham.
Before she became a millionaire inventor, she was a struggling single mother in Dallas with no college degree and very few options.
She married young during WWII.
By 22, she was divorced, raising a son alone, and trying to survive on secretary jobs.
She eventually became an executive secretary at Texas Bank & Trust.
There was just one problem:
She was a terrible typist.
The bank had recently installed new IBM electric typewriters that made correcting mistakes almost impossible.
One typo could mean retyping an entire page.
Her son later remembered watching her sit at the kitchen table in “tears of panic,” terrified she’d lose her job.
But Bette had another skill.
She painted holiday window displays at the bank for extra money.
One day, while painting over a mistake on a window, she had a realization:
“An artist never erases mistakes. They paint over them.”
That night, she went home and mixed a white liquid in her kitchen blender using tempera paint.
She poured it into a nail polish bottle.
The next morning, she used it to cover typing errors.
It worked.
For five years, her boss never noticed.
Other secretaries did.
Soon, women from offices across the city were asking for bottles.
Bette started making batches at home with help from her teenage son, Michael, and his friends.
She called the product “Mistake Out.”
Then came the twist.
In 1958, she accidentally typed the name of her side business onto a company letter.
Her boss fired her immediately.
It became the best thing that ever happened to her.
She renamed the product Liquid Paper and focused on it full-time.
Orders exploded.
By the late 1960s, she was selling over a million bottles a year.
By the 1970s, 25 million bottles annually.
Then she did something even more unusual:
She built one of the most progressive workplaces in America.
Her company offered:
• child care
• continuing education
• leadership roles for women
• jobs for disabled workers
• integrated staffing
This was decades before most corporations even considered those ideas.
In 1979, with failing health, Bette sold Liquid Paper to Gillette for $47.5 million.
Six months later, she died at age 56.
Half her fortune went to women-focused charities.
The other half went to her son.
That son was Michael Nesmith.
Yes the same Michael Nesmith from The Monkees.
And with the money from Liquid Paper royalties, he funded a small experimental cable TV project called PopClips.
It featured short films set to music.
PopClips became the direct prototype for MTV.
So one woman’s “typing mistake” helped create:
• a multimillion-dollar company
• one of America’s most progressive workplaces
• and the blueprint for the modern music video era
Bette Graham proved something her old boss never understood:
The mistake wasn’t the failure.
It was the opportunity.

BOOM💥 — In a jaw-dropping statement, President Trump called for the United States to federalize elections to shut down voter fraud.
Trump declared, “If a state can't run the election honestly, I think the people behind me should do something about it!”
A lifelong black resident of DC reacts to the restored fountains and pool at Meridian Hill Park.
“I’m here at Malcolm X Park, and let me tell you it’s beautiful. It used to be so dark, sad, and melancholy. Now we have a ton of people picnicking. It’s never been this lively.”
🚨 JUST IN: The US military has just FIRED a precision munition directly into an Iran-bound ship's engineering and steering spaces after trying to breach President Trump's blockade — CENTCOM
FAFO 🔥
This comes after a previous ship had its ENGINE ROOM blasted
"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) disabled Palau-flagged M/T Marivex as it transited international waters in the Gulf of Oman toward Iran. An F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired a precision munition into the ship's engineering and steering spaces after the crew failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces. Marivex is no longer sailing to Iran.
CENTCOM forces have disabled seven non-compliant vessels, redirected 134 ships that complied, and allowed 42 vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass since initiating the blockade on April 13."
President Trump has afforded me the great honor to serve in his administration as the "Special Envoy for American Landowners." In this role, I look forward to representing and advocating for landowners’ rights against any entity that chooses to harass or intimidate them in an effort to achieve goals contrary to those of the President. I look forward to defending our farmers and ranchers🇺🇸
"The President announcing plans to build a promenade—or a pedestrian bridge—off the back of the Lincoln Memorial, connecting it to the waterfront."
Our nation's capital is about to become more walkable, and even more beautiful!
Let’s all hope and pray something comes of this!
A 2025 federal lawsuit filed by Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom in D.C. court challenges the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule, alleging:
- it recommends 72+ doses without adequate cumulative safety testing of the full combination, and
- that HHS has failed to file required biennial safety reports to Congress since 1998.
The suit claims violations of the:
- Administrative Procedure Act (arbitrary rulemaking),
- First Amendment (silencing dissent), and
- Fifth Amendment (bodily integrity).
The suit is seeking to dismantle the current schedule.
The @CDCgov has moved to dismiss, arguing its recommendations are non-binding guidance rather than mandates. Which isn’t true SINCE all public schools and universities require proof of immunizations before attending, unless proof of religious exemption is shown (then it is ify if the university will let them attend, especially for a medical field program).
The 72-dose figure reflects multiple doses of vaccines over 18 years (not simultaneous shots); while individual vaccines undergo safety trials, full long-term combination studies of the entire schedule remain a point of scientific debate and criticism cited in the suit. Let’s be honest here … what the interpretation here is … it’s all about the money!
In my opinion … no baby should be given a vaccine. I’m not against vaccinations, I’m against babies getting vaccinated. If the parent demands vaccines, then they need to be started AFTER the primary development of the babies brain has been established … around the age of 5!
Full disclosure … I did not get vaccinated until I was a Junior in High School and I only got vaccinated because the State of California was threatening to kick me out of school if I didn’t.
If you're confused about how this NUMBNUTZ got 81 MILLION votes in 2020 even though no candidate has done it before or since...
Go take a look at what's happening in California right now and it'll clear things up for you.
🚨The man who threatened to assassinate Nick Shirley is "an immigration lawyer here in NYC", according to @NickShirleyy.

Thune is trying to out wait Trump
J.D. DON’T WAIT!
Democrats could have let Spencer Pratt take 2nd, then easily defeated him in Nov:
"See, our elections aren't rigged. We let a MAGA friendly win".
Instead, they have fomented total unified visceral utter disgust. The Nation was glued to every single count, watched a 7%-point lead evaporate days after the physical voting ended.
The Establishment fucked up (John Thune, the most hated man in America). They treated this like a sleepy, localized primary that they could manage through standard, bureaucratic slow-rolling. Their ruthless public pursuit of power blinded them that entire country is hyper-sensitized to election integrity RN (thanks be to Trump).
By pushing Nithya Raman past Pratt by a razor-thin margin of 3,113 votes on a Sun. night, they lit a powder keg under the Nation, a 11.0 earthquake.
BS you say?
Read any comments, any local national MSM or any few daring to defend CA elections, on any SM platform. The vitriol of disgust hatred utter contempt for Democrats & RINOs corruption has unified a once deeply divided country.
They thought they were quietly securing a predictable Bass vs. Raman runoff for November. Instead, their smug pretentious Marie Antoinette-esque hatred brought together — the Left, the center, the Right — a shared outrage, turned a local mayoral primary into a national symbol of institutional corruption. They underestimated the public's boiling point, and now they have no idea how to contain the blowback. They so fucked themselves. Psychopathic doesn't even come close. They have healed a broken polarized country, once unimaginable.
Thank you Spencer for your unwavering courage. Thank you Trump for your fierce bellicosity. Thank you Dumocrats for destroying your own party. Thank you Thune, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis... the most despised humans in Nation.
