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.

William Cooper explaining the CIA assassination of JFK by the driver William Greer . Watch for the driver lifting his left hand you’ll see the gun.

Orders came from Bildeberg

Greer (1909–1985) was an Irish-born U.S. Secret Service agent who drove President Kennedy’s limousine during the 1963 assassination.  Apart from Stone’s JFK and the update, countless docs, talk show confabs, etc., the driver is never mentioned!
In 2013 it was publicly discovered that while in Ireland he had been a member of the Drumbonaway lodge of the Orange Order sworn to maintain the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland

COHN TAUGHT HIM HOW IT’S DONE

TRUMP keeps attacking RELENTLESSLY. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon.

TRUMP’S GRANDFATHER RAN A HARDWARE STORE FOR MINERS ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND A WHORE HOUSE ON THE 2ND FLOOR.
Half the White House is torn down.
The Rose Garden is now a Bass Pro parking lot.
There are gunshots.
There are cage fights on the front lawn.
This is the most white-trash White House in American history.

FIGHTING THIS CRAP MY WHOLE LIFE

In a famous 1972 televised debate, David Susskind argued that a woman could not be president because of the hormonal changes that occur during menstruation. ⁠⁠
Germaine Greer immediately put an end to the debate by asking him if he could tell whether she was menstruating at that very moment, which left his argument without a response.⁠

The most emotionally immature baby is current POTUS.
If TACO Trump is secure in Madison Square Garden then he doesn’t need a $1B ballroom bunker.

Reminder: Congress thinks $83 an hour isn’t enough for them…
but $7.25 an hour is enough for you.
That’s not public service. That’s class warfare.

Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Claims She Was Invited to Dinner in Prince Andrew’s Buckingham Palace Rooms

Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump’s IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits.
That’s *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don’t let it fly under the radar.

Do not doubt that if a major pandemic hits, millions of Americans will die because of this grotesque man. And not a single person better say that we didn’t know it was coming. Alarm bells have been ringing *nonstop* that this sick buffoon will kill people.

Alan Dershowitz is named in a 2015 civil complaint filed in the Epstein case.
The filing states Epstein “forced then-minor Jane Doe Three to have sexual relations with” Dershowitz “on numerous occasions while she was a minor.” EFTA00021553

Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin
Giuffre v. Dershowitz, 2019, paragraph 4: ‘Epstein directed other persons to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him.’
Those other persons are still walking free.
Why isn’t this man arrested right now?
In fact, why are ALL OF THEM running around freely?

I had to stop and take a picture when I got to the famous line about the United States:

“But are there not many fascists in your country?”
“There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes.”

Remember 90% of the people supporting Trump online, are pedos, the other 10% are bots.

Elon Musk asked @grok to confirm if Congress was trying to silently attach an Israel-US military intelligence merger without We the People knowing.
Grok said YES.
We need to RALLY and DEMAND 622 of S 4615 AND Section 224 of NDAA FY 27 be STRIPPED out of legislation!

Just a reminder that a Saudi developer who is also a Trump business partner is behind building a multi million dollar data center in Ohio, raising questions around who these data centers are really benefiting.

Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson
The Trump Administration wants to allow handguns to be shipped through the mail—reversing a century-old, commonsense ban. We’re calling on the Post Office to reject this dangerous plan and protect communities from gun violence. If they won’t do it, we’ll fight it in Congress!

@GregAbbott_TX says the spread of New World screwworm into Texas poses an “imminent threat” of widespread damage to the state’s livestock industry and economy. This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration.

Trump announces the government will be seizing stakes in private companies. If any Democratic President did this, every Fox News anchor would have an aneurysm.

Kash Patel has fired all FBI agents tasked with investigating right-wing extremism.
Trump has cut spending for
1. Cancer research
2. National Parks
3. Dept of Education

Lawmakers are making decisions right now that will determine who AI serves and how. EFF is making sure that your rights are at the forefront of these decisions because technology should serve all people, not just the powerful.
A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn’t pretend it’s normal.

AI-powered mass surveillance supercharges violations of constitutional rights, and government secrecy prevents the public and lawmakers from knowing when AI models make mistakes.
EFF is cutting through the hype by laying out how to regulate AI to reduce harms and protect your rights to privacy and government transparency. That includes developing clear safeguards around governmental use of AI.

TEACHERS SALARIES Education Policy and Data
Nationally, average teacher salaries have been remarkably flat for a very long time. In inflation-adjusted terms, they’ve been hovering around $70,000 for decades. How does Apple and Microsoft and McMillan get rich? America is investing more in schools. If district salaries had merely kept up with total education spending, they would have been 34% higher. That would have worked out to nearly a $22,000 raise for the average employee.

Trump won all 77 counties in Oklahoma, a streak extending to six consecutive presidential elections where every county voted Republican. Oklahoma schools Ranked 48th in the country on NAEP.
Starting in 2027, Oklahoma schools will no longer be judged on whether their chronic absenteeism rates go up or down. The legislature voted last year to remove the indicator from the state’s education accountability system as a measure of school performance.

Ignorance = Delusional Trump voter who wants to have Dozing Donny run America like a business that can kill you if the business wants to.

I wonder how much a pardon costs these days?
I’m sure SBF could find some old FTX client Bitcoin under a mattress that somehow makes its way into World Liberty Financial, just like CZ and Justin Sun.
After all, the FTX legal team and board included Sullivan & Cromwell, which I view as being closely connected to deep state intelligence and political power structures.
Operation Choke Point 2.0 served the FIC agenda, and perhaps he’s more useful out of jail than in jail now.
The post-Chapter 11 professionals from Enron-era restructuring and bankruptcy circles sold the AI private equity to the FIC at distressed valuations ahead of the IPO cycle, while locking in Bitcoin prices around the $17,000 lows for victims and asset-stripping creditors.
Remember, Daniel Leon from Celsius ended up working on AI initiatives with the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.
Chapter 11 is a FIC club and you’re not in it.

Trump wants to reward his foot-soldiers, almost 2,000 insurrectionists, following his orders, with $1,800,000,000,000 ($1.8 bn) of YOUR money – the people who beat and killed police officers, spread faeces on the corridor walls of the capitol, and tried to kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi on Jan 6.

ESSAY

Trump’s new Medicaid rules just made it official: having cancer is not enough to be exempt from work requirements. You have to PROVE cancer is stopping you from working. While you’re in chemo.

This week, the Trump administration released its final 400-page rule on how states must enforce the Medicaid work requirements that were buried inside last year’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Starting January 1, 2027, most low-income adults on Medicaid must prove every single month they are working, volunteering, or attending school for at least 80 hours — or lose their coverage.

For months, advocates for cancer patients and people living with HIV had been pushing for a blanket medical exemption. What they got instead was a trap. The new rule ties the definition of “medically frail” — the exemption category — directly to a person’s ability to work. That means cancer patients who are still capable of working, even in between chemo rounds, do not automatically qualify. A woman with early-stage breast cancer receiving radiation treatment? May not qualify. A man living with HIV who takes medication and still reports to work? No exemption.

And here’s the part that should stop you cold: Harvard health policy professor Adrianna McIntyre told reporters that even cancer patients who ARE technically exempt could still lose coverage — because the paperwork process is so complex that “a recently diagnosed cancer patient who is employed might lose Medicaid coverage due to errors in completing the necessary paperwork.” Cancer will not wait while a Medicaid office sifts through forms.

The American Cancer Society ran the numbers. Researchers at the University of Chicago published a study in JAMA Oncology projecting that over 1 million mammograms and colorectal and lung cancer screenings will be missed within the first two years of these rules. That translates to more than 2,300 undetected cancer cases — hundreds at advanced stages — and an estimated 155 avoidable deaths from just three types of cancer alone.

A coalition of 48 patient advocacy groups signed a joint statement calling the rule “life-threatening.” The American Academy of Pediatrics said it will “harm those whom Medicaid is intended to support.” The HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute’s director said bluntly: “We will lose individuals from Medicaid, and many will become ill and die as a result.”
68 million Americans depend on Medicaid. The CBO says at least 5 million will lose coverage. And Dr. Oz went on TV to defend it by saying Medicaid recipients watch too much television.

Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation The Center for Arms Control has a useful FAQ on “sole authority,” defining it as the current U.S. nuclear posture in which the President alone can order a nuclear launch at any time for any reason, without checks from other branches of government. Source

The President truly does have sole authority. In the United States, a single person — the president — is authorized to make the decision to use a nuclear weapon. They are not required to consult with any advisors before issuing a launch order. No one in the Defense Department, Congress, or the judicial branch can lawfully prevent the use of nuclear weapons once the president’s order is given.

Generals advise, but cannot block. The President can seek advice from senior military leaders, but those military leaders are then required to transmit and implement the orders. As General John Hyten stated in a congressional confirmation hearing, his job as Commander of U.S. Strategic Command would be to give advice, while the authority to order a launch lies with the President. General Mark Milley similarly clarified that he is part of the “chain of communication” as the President’s primary military advisor, but is not in the “chain of command” for authorizing a nuclear launch.

The process is deliberately fast. The president can order nuclear use despite the objections of every adviser in the room. In a scenario where enemy missiles are detected, the president might have as little as 10 minutes to be briefed and decide.

Authentication, not approval. There is one procedural check worth noting: before the order can be followed by the military, the president must be positively identified using a special code issued on a plastic card nicknamed the “biscuit.” This verification process ensures the order came from the actual president.
