REMINDER!

Before the libs decide to try and create their own definition of what Juneteenth is, allow me to help you all out with a short history lesson.

It’s the day when black individuals found out that the first Republican President had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the physical bondage of the Democrat Party. It was two years later, on July 4th 1867, that 150 of those same Black men met in Houston and established the Republican Party of Texas. The Democrats, in response, established the Ku Klux Klan.

Today, the Democrats are economically enslaving Blacks and have turned inner city communities into modern plantations of welfare and economic dependence.

Juneteenth is a celebration of why the Republican Party was established in 1854, the abolition of slavery. Only a flaming incompetent idiot would give the party of the donkey any credit for Juneteenth.

Hope this helps!

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

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.

I wish I would have found this yesterday, but late is better than never.

[Biff Zeppe @BZsSaloon]

Let's examine what REALLY happened.

When Donald Trump was a private citizen, a government contractor stole his private tax data and leaked it to the media. Because the government failed to protect his private records, Trump and his family sued the IRS for $10 billion.

On May 18, 2026, the Justice Department settled the case. Trump agreed to walk away with zero dollars for himself. In exchange, the government put $1.776 billion into an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to help ordinary citizens who say they were also unfairly targeted by federal agencies. The government also agreed to completely drop its ongoing tax audits against Trump's businesses.

Trump declined $10 billion he was statutorily entitled to under 26 U.S.C. § 7431 and converted it into a compensation pool for other citizens, so calling this a corrupt enrichment scheme is factually backwards.

If anyone else got that award they would have taken it and ran. Joe Biden and every other Democrat out there.

The fund’s text explicitly says “there are no partisan requirements to file a claim,” meaning Democrats, independents, and Republicans are equally eligible.

The audit waiver is bound to pre-May-18-2026 conduct, not “perpetuity immunity forever” as the ridiculous media and out of job former attorney Liz Oyer claims.

Biden pardoned Hunter for crimes he was actually convicted of and Jim Biden while Jim was under two active federal investigations, with an 11-year window and zero public-facing remedy and the same commentators called that defensible. Literally.

So the Biden family could issue pardon for crimes committed and active investigations but Trump, who was actually agreed and is statutory entitled to this money set up a fund to help Americans who were victims of political persecution, and the demented media is calling it some kind of corrupt act?

Of course that same demented media wants judicial oversight. Would that be the judicial oversight that consistently rules incorrectly in any case involving Trump and gets overruled sometimes 9-0 at the Supreme Court?

Not one prior U.S. president has faced this volume of criminal prosecution, civil litigation, and unauthorized disclosure of confidential financial records simultaneously, so pretending this is a normal political cycle is dishonest bs.

The Obama administration used the exact same Judgment Fund mechanism in Keepseagle $760M, no congressional appropriation and the press called that justice. But it was actually much worse because in the Obama case this settlement was made against the advice of career DOJ officials who thought they could win at court.

Trump personally receives zero dollars, zero damages, and zero direct financial benefit from the settlement the only thing he gets is the audit waiver as protect protection so he won’t be targeted by the same Weaponized government should they ever get power again.

Congress will never legislatively compensate Jan 6 defendants, FACE Act defendants, or dismissed-case targets, so the choice was this fund or no remedy at all for documented victims of politically motivated federal action.

The media is very dishonest in this country and there’s a lot of experts who are even more dishonest. I am not an expert at anything except research and common sense. It is just basic common sense that when you have a president issue blanket, pardons for crimes that nobody even knows about that may or may not have been committed on his way out, and the media doesn’t bat an eye, but then you have a president who is actually wronged and who uses his settlement money to help those who are also politically persecuted smeared as corrupt the problem is the media.

A lot of Americans remember Sears as a dying store in a half-empty mall.

That’s not what Sears was.

Sears was how American factories entered ordinary houses. Kenmore in the kitchen. Craftsman in the garage. DieHard under the hood. Coldspot humming in the corner. Lawn tractors in sheds. Socket sets in drawers that nobody was allowed to lose.

It was basements, workbenches, catalogs, part numbers, repairmen, delivery trucks, credit accounts, and old men who could hear a washer struggling before it finally quit.

A kid could flip through the Wish Book and learn what adulthood looked like. Tools. Appliances. Work boots. School clothes. A bicycle. Sometimes even a whole house ordered by mail and built piece by piece after the materials came in by rail.

That was the part Sears understood. America was full of people trying to build stable lives with practical things.

Then the practical world got replaced by a disposable one. The catalogs vanished. The stores hollowed out. Manufacturing moved overseas. Repair got expensive. Replacement got cheap. The people who knew how everything worked got older, retired, or died, and a lot of what they knew went with them.

People call it the death of a department store.

I don’t.

Sears was one of the last national systems that still assumed ordinary Americans should know how to maintain the world around them instead of just replacing it. That’s the strange poverty nobody talks about now.

Not having fewer things. Having more than ever and understanding almost none of them.

[Supersonic Redhead🛫 @Supersonic_Red]

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.

And honestly, it explains a lot.

We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.

We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.

That is not a small thing.

People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.

Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.

We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.

We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.

We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.

We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.

And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.

That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.

A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.

We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.

That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.

But we exist.

We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.

And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

While the rest of the world watched the Twin Towers fall in horror on their TV screens, he grabbed his old gear and headed toward the smoke. He didn't call his publicist. He just showed up to work. Back in September 2001, he wasn't looking for a camera or a red carpet. He was looking for his brothers.

Before his fame, Steve Buscemi was a real New York City firefighter. He took the FDNY exam when he was just 18 years old and spent four years working 12-hour shifts in Little Italy with Engine Company 55.

He eventually left the department to pursue acting, but he never truly stopped being a firefighter at heart.

When the towers fell on 9/11, that old instinct took over. Buscemi didn’t reach out to his agent or wait for instructions. He called his old firehouse, but no one answered because of the sheer chaos in the city.

On September 11, he simply showed up at the pile of rubble known as Ground Zero. He found his old crew and asked if he could help. For the next five days, he became a firefighter again.

He put aside his Hollywood life and worked grueling 12-hour shifts. He spent his time digging through twisted steel and shattered concrete, searching for survivors.

There were no cameras following him around for a documentary. In fact, he fiercely avoided the press. He turned away reporters and declined interviews because he didn't want the focus to be on his celebrity. He wanted to be just another man on the line.

"It was a privilege to be able to do it," Buscemi later said about those days in the dust. "It was enormously helpful for me because while I was working, I didn’t really think about it as much, feel it as much."

For him, being part of the recovery was a way to process the shock that everyone else was feeling from a distance.

The internet often claims that no photos exist of him there, but a few rare shots do document his presence. They show a man covered in soot, wearing a simple fire helmet, with a face etched in total exhaustion and sorrow.

These weren't staged publicity photos; they were raw moments of a man doing a job. He didn't want the world to see him as a hero. He just wanted to help his friends.

However, the work took a heavy toll on him. After the physical labor ended, the emotional weight stayed. Buscemi eventually opened up about the deep depression and PTSD he faced after leaving Ground Zero.

Returning to a "normal" life felt impossible for a long time. "There are times when I talk about 9/11 and I’m right back there," he admitted in a rare, candid interview.

He didn't suffer in silence forever. He turned to therapy and found comfort in talking to professionals and other first responders who understood the trauma.

This experience turned him into a lifelong advocate for mental health. He realized that the scars you can't see are often the ones that take the longest to heal.

Even now in 2026, Buscemi is still showing up for the FDNY. He serves on the Advisory Council for Friends of Firefighters and helps raise money for mental health counseling. This mission is more urgent than ever.

Today, more FDNY members have died from 9/11-related illnesses than the 343 who were lost on the day of the attack. Buscemi makes sure these people are never forgotten.

He could have stayed in a safe place and watched the news like everyone else. Instead, he chose to get his hands dirty. He didn't go there as a movie star; he went there as a New Yorker who knew how to use a shovel.

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران @iranidaturan]

I don’t think most Americans have any real sense of just how sophisticated and massive this whole operation against the Islamic regime has been. Even a lot of Trump supporters, probably picture it as some straightforward military thing. But for those of us who have lived under this system, it’s on another level entirely.

However, we are understandably exhausted and hyper-focused, worrying about basic safety that it’s hard for us to step back and appreciate the bigger picture. We don’t talk much, but it doesn’t mean we don’t see it.

We Iranians know war. My mother’s generation lived for 8 horrific years in the shadow of Saddam, a madman even crazier and more brutal than this regime in many ways. They endured constant bombings, cities turned to rubble, chemical attacks, families ripped apart, and massive displacement. For my generation, those years left childhood nightmares that never fully went away. We know amputated fathers, martyred neighbors, streets full of mourning, endless death, and helplessness. We know what real war is.

This operation was nothing like that. Unlike the Iran-Iraq war, where civilians were deliberately targeted to create maximum death, suffering, and destruction, this was meticulously designed to separate the regime and its military machine from the Iranian people.

It was remarkably successful in that regard. The vast majority of the hardship ordinary Iranians faced didn’t come from the strikes themselves. It came from the regime’s own incompetence, sabotage, and desperation. They cut the internet for days to control the narrative abroad, wrecked businesses and the economy with their chaotic responses, and kept their own people in the dark. That part was all them.

There is another thing, we Iranians know this regime like the back of our hand. It’s not some abstract evil.

It’s like stage-four cancer: incompetent at actually running a country, ugly and corrupt to its core, yet incredibly strong in spreading fear, hatred, and pulling out the worst in human nature.

Removing something this entrenched, in a country as vast and regionally complicated as Iran, required an intelligence and planning effort that is honestly mind-blowing.

What blows my mind is the Israeli intelligence work. We’re not talking just names and addresses. They’ve mapped behaviors, personalities, decision-making patterns, the whole human side of that rotten system. It’s like they know it inside out.

The planning was deeply coordinated with US, with Israel leading on the technical, intelligence, and precision execution level, while the U.S. directed the overall strategy and brought the power and coordination to make it happen. The precision was unreal: cutting-edge, top-notch technology, the best specialists in the world, and targeting that actually feels more like a surgical rescue mission than old-school war.

From where I sit, Trump directed the overall strategy and brought the raw power: choking off the regime’s money, isolating it internationally, cutting the lifelines from Europe and some Arab states. That created the conditions for this to actually land.

On the psychological side and negotiations, it feels like Trump played the big-picture game, timing the pressure, the deterrence, and the right mix of fear and openings to get maximum results with as little unnecessary cost as possible.

I really hope Americans come to recognize the courage, professionalism, and skill of their military and the patriots in the administration in this. Right now, it feels like we’re nowhere close to giving them the credit this level of work has earned.

For us Iranians who have suffered so long, this wasn’t about destruction. It was about finally creating a chance for something better. We will be forever grateful.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.

I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.

If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.

Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!

Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

[Michelle Maxwell ™ @MichelleMaxwell]

I grew up in the Reston/Herndon, VA area and I never once questioned my Father’s or Mother's income. It was never a discussion. We never once discussed how people voted or for who. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes, and vegetables. We never touched anything that did not belong to us. We never opened a refrigerator at anyone's house unless asked to do so. We were taught to respect other peoples property. And we were rewarded for acting properly.

We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped with all chores. We, by no means, were given everything we wanted. We were not allowed to stay in our bedrooms all day and we were not allow to sit on the bed during the day. We went outside a lot to play, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went bike riding. We rarely just sat inside.

Bottled water was unheard of, if we wanted water we drank straight from the faucet or hose. If we had a soda, it was in a glass bottle, and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved the bottle for the return money. And, we collected the bottles for the nickel for our next purchase.

We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and be home before dark.
You learned from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was law and you did not question it and you had better know it! We watched what we said around our elders and neighbors because we knew if we disrespected any grown-up, we would get a real good whooping, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline!

We held the doors for others and carried the shopping into the house. We gave up our seat for an older person without being asked.
You didn't hear swear words on the radio in songs or on TV. "Please and Thank you", were part of our daily vocabulary!

The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.

Friends, consider copying and pasting if you're thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children and people nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never bored!

Let’s think logically and apply the different definitions of “civilization” to Trump’s quote that is pissing millions of brainwashed normies off. Even ones that think they are awake:

“A whole civilization will die tonight”

1. A whole [relatively high level of cultural and technological development] will die tonight.

2. A whole [culture characteristic of a particular time or place] will die tonight.

3. A whole [process of becoming civilized] will die tonight.

4. A whole [refinement of thought, manners, or taste] will die tonight.

5. A whole [situation of urban comfort] will die tonight.

I never saw him say 93 million people will die tonight.
