“The stock market just hit a new all-time high... 401(k)s just hit a new all-time high and oil is dropping like a rock.”
President Trump highlighted some economic wins during a White House Medal of Honor ceremony, where he is honoring three distinguished combat veterans for their service and sacrifice.
“Other than that, it’s another day in paradise,” Trump added.

@Breaking911 🇯🇵 Japanese fans stay after every match to clean up every piece of trash — pure civilization and discipline. In contrast, many Chinese tourists leave mountains of garbage behind. This isn’t coincidence. Full analysis here: https://t.co/7HpiHaJlap
You cannot improve what you refuse to acknowledge.
Growth begins when you honestly evaluate where you are and where you want to go.
Awareness is the first step toward change.
What are you learning about yourself today?
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.
🔥 EPIC! President Trump just gave EVERY worker at the Lincoln Memorial a Presidential challenge coin, and took the time to shake each and every one of their hands
These men are making our capital BEAUTIFUL again.
And they came from across the country do so 🇺🇸

First Lady Melania Trump writes an inspiring message on motherhood & the values that shape our nation. ❤️
"Together, let’s champion a new American model that restores the honor of motherhood by encouraging ALL women to lead boldly at work while also making family the cornerstone of our national future."
President Trump on the NEW and IMPROVED White House Rose Garden:
"Where you’re standing, or sitting right now, is white stone, and that was grass. The problem with it is you couldn’t walk on it, because this is built on a wetland. The grass was always soaking wet."
.@AldiUSA is eliminating 44 additional ingredients from its private-label products—including select artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, and sweeteners—expanding its restricted ingredient list from 13 to 57. Other companies should follow their lead.
🚨 President Trump just dropped this gem!
Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.
Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up.
Trump said hell no.
Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.
✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
✅ Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922
This is how you run government like a business.
Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!
Nobody could figure out why the abandoned Hendricks apple orchard suddenly bloomed in April 2019. The trees hadn't produced fruit in eleven years. County agriculture office sent two inspectors. They found sixty thousand honeybees working the property - a massive colony that had escaped from Tomás Vega's apiary three miles south. Tomás had reported the swarm missing in March. He expected them dead. Instead they'd colonized the hollow barn on the Hendricks lot and cross-pollinated every surviving tree. That October, the orchard produced twenty-two tons of Cortland apples. The Hendricks family offered Tomás a permanent lease. He moved his entire operation there the following spring.
THIS is what it looks like to be unashamed on the world stage.
Astronaut Victor Glover: “When this started on April 3rd, I wanted to thank God in public, and I want to thank God again."
Amen, brother! Love this dude.
One of my neighbors kid went to trade school for HVAC at 18.
His parents were embarrassed because everyone around us, college is the only option promoted.
He spent $6k and started at $65k while his friends were still in school.
At 25 he got his contractor license. At 27 he opened his own shop.
Last year his company did $2.1 million in revenue with 3 trucks. His friends just started to pay off their student loans.
Now, my neighbors cant stop bragging about their son who also is our neighborhood HVAC tech.
Day 96 tagging @mikeroweworks to let everyone know that we need more kids like this.
