Ben, what a wonderful job you and your brothers are doing. I’m so happy that you have seen such success, after you quit your jobs in order to do this full-time after January 6. I checked my email many times a day just to see what videos you were posting and what notes you were writing to us. I’m 76 years old and I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening to our country in my entire life. And remember, I was alive for the assassination of JFK, RFK and MLK. I was alive for Nixon having to leave office, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war, to name a few. But I have never seen anything so disturbing and so unsettling in my entire life. Please keep up this really important great work and you have millions supporting you around the United States in the world. Keep it up.
Holy.......you're real old lol! We need your age group immensely to share your memories of those times. I am somewhat younger but remember what my parents and grandparents, talked about what the world went through during the World Wars!
I'm with you, Rosemary. I'm 73 and have lived through all those things that you mentioned. And I totally agree--none of them was ANYTHING like this. I never thought I'd ever experience what I (all of us, actually) am living through today with the government being like it is. We pulled through all of those--Meidas has given much hope that we'll make it through this, too.
Ask for any representative or senator! Start with the red state ass kissers! I can’t believe that Thune, Cornyn. Cassidy are helping this treasonous bunch of assholes, nazi miller, vought, couch cougar are allowing trump to remain in office. He is absolutely unfit! Belongs in an assisted living facility! In a straitjacket! No phone no internet.
Call n pass the numbers to other people. C U on October 18!
Same here and I'm 84! These brothers are one of my best resources for honest news, the other being Aaron Parnas. These four men give me hope as well as news.
I have never seen anything like this either and my parents lived through Hitler's Germany as children. Then they escaped to West Germany when the wall was being built. My parents saw a lot during the war there and they would not talk much about it. But my mother always made sure there was food on the table. Then a lot of relatives were trapped in East Germany. And in 1968 my parents took my brother and I into East Germany across the wall. As a 10 year old girl that was an experience that chilled me to my core. Seeing the wall, the security, the bombed buildings and how people still lived in there. Then I traveled into the Czech Republic with my then husband (now ex) and two small children in 1989 and seeing how the Russians had turned the rivers to sludge and razed the forests down to nothing. But I have never experienced anything like this in the States. So I will keep taking the small steps to counter the evil and I will do what I can to help people.
The man is physically and mentally not well. He is living in his nightmares and destroying this country. Since we can’t control him perhaps he will stop performing is we stop advertising everything he does to show how powerful he thinks he is. Just a frustrated thought since he is spotlighted on my cellphone at least 20 times a day. I’m tired of being scared .
We will weather this storm, no matter hell or high water... WE will weather the storm! It's a dangerous journey, fraught with often overwhelming odds, but we will emerge smarter, stronger, and more unified as the process unfolds. Keep the faith, folks.
It’s easy to ignore his “antics” if it isn’t effecting your geographical location. Not so easy if you live in Chicago, Portland or Washington DC. Also not easy if your employment or healthcare is at stake. As US citizens it’s everyone’s responsibility to have our neighbors’ backs. Over a million men and women died or were wounded for our freedom just in WWII. Those young men and women were fearful! Put your big girl and big boy pants on, and at the minimum call your Senators and Representatives and tell them your concerns. Don’t put your fingers in your ears and scream “I don’t want to hear about it!” Do something; you’ll feel empowered.
Agree, but they should just cover the egregious things only and skip the crazy. he's a media whore who craves the spotlight and the media keep giving it to him. If not for the internet and the 24/7 "news" onslaught this continual coverage of every little thing wouldn't exist.
We were much better off when we had just three hours of news every night. No influencers who have no credentials other than a million "likes" on Tik-tok, no reporting on when the president burped, just straight up news.
Right! We had a party with a big variety of people yesterday. I saw a change, almost like a joy in the little things again. They asked how I was, and I celebrated their families with them. They respected everyone and said nothing of politics. It seemed a huge relief for all, especially the younger generation to gather in person and just enjoy a children’s birthday. This may be a way forward. Not sure, but it felt really nice.
The conman claims he’s in perfect health yet his ankles are so swollen. Doesn’t that indicate his heart isn’t functioning properly? I’m really hoping he won’t wake up tomorrow.
I keep seeing him on a morgue table orange face blue lips. It is sort of a haunted image but really it is over due. Will he be in perfect health then too?
Ben, why is no one, or almost no one, talking about Stephen Miller and the architects of Project 2025. We hear next to nothing about them, and I think that they should be the ones that we should be talking about, all the time, every day, and not Trump, who is their little puppet! And, if we actually do that, it will also piss Trump off that the spotlight is being taken off of hiimself. Those folks I mentioned above, and coalition that the Heritage Foundation put together, are the architects of the nightmare we're living through right now! PLEASE begin to put more attention on these people, so we can become more well informed about who's really running the government and what they're up to every single day.
Steve Miller is pure evil; but all he has is Trump’s ear. The News Media should focus on those who could actually change and stop the projection of Trump and Miller’s autocracy by doing what voters elected them to do - put checks on the President. They have eagerly given up their Constitutional powers to Trump. Tariffs; the budget; sending troops to Democratic cities could be stopped immediately if they had the muscle to take back their power. Focus on the MAGA House members and MAGA Senate. Call them out by name! The House has been in recess going on 4 weeks because they do not want to swear in the New Democrat, Adelina Grijalva. Citizens should insist she be sworn in. Democrats in leadership should insist that she be sworn in. The Press should be pushing for her to be sworn in. One more Democrats makes a huge difference; and MAGA knows it!
Susan see my comment today, and I totally agree with you. It's the silent ones we have to fear. The ones that claim not to be in control. I do believe Trump was given a deal. Go be as crazy as you want to, make as much money as you want to, do whatever you want to. Let us destroy democracy.
I saw your comment Miriam. We're all in the same boat for sure. Unfortunately, I don't think we can count on CNN or MSNBC, or really any of the news outlets (except, of course, Meidas+) to focus on Stephen Miller, because the huge conglomerates that own them now are afraid they will be sued, and they will be. Very very very very disheartening! Thanks so much for adding your own words to what I had said.
I am forever grateful that I found MeidasTouch and that I became a founding member. When you are a 70 year old white woman, never married, no children it is wonderful to have an outlet for yourself particularly in a deep red western North Dakota. I am looking forward to October 18th and the No Kings protest. Again thank you for everything. The article was very good.
I am a Public Health Nurse and I rely on the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) for the medical research reports, and other important health related updates. Trump’s vindictiveness toward the CDC and Public Health Professionals is abhorrent and combined with RFK Jr.’s nonsense, (and in top of what is happening with healthcare coverage costs), are creating dangerous health consequences for millions of Americans. This is so heartbreaking ❤️🩹 for someone who works to prevent disease, promote health, and protect the communities I serve.
they don't want us to know how many people they are going to kill off....due to ICE murders and unvaccinated children spreading disease. MAGA is a death cult.
Debra, I am a 71 yr old, white woman who grew up in freedom, living in a red state surrounded by MAGA Morons.
Yes, we survived the assassinations of JFK, RFK, & MLK. I participated in Mayday, a protest against the Vietnam War in 1971, before I was 17. I met a lifelong friend there, who became a Civil Rights Attorney.
If you live 70 yrs of freedom, then experience the destruction of the US by some freak of nature having dreams of grandeur, life becomes difficult. I wanted to leave our country before he took office, bc from his 1st speech he put Liberals down.
I am staying in the fight, weary of far right actions & especially how they believe Psycho repeatedly. They bombed a Judge’s home who disagreed with Psycho. They have murdered our ppl & from Jan6th they killed cops that were never mentioned, then ALL were pardoned , plus many more conmen!
Our country has only been lead by one other LIAR. It was well known to Nixon that we could never win the Vietnam War, yet he kept calling for escalation, wiping out a generation of the cream of the crop. Then, the diagnosis.papers came out that proved it here! I had never seen so many ppl in my life as what turned out at Mayday!
I’m hoping they don’t shoot at us, at our next “No Kings” protest.
Psycho is going to war with his own country. How could he even be nominated for a Peace Prize? He only wants it out of jealousy over Obama.
I have never seen such negative thoughts rule any life, as Trump is ruled by them. Hatred for perceived enemies is beyond my reality.
Hi Leah..thanks for sharing. I am not that far behind you in age..(7 years younger). And this is definitely NOT the country I grew up in. At the moment, I am grateful that I still have my job (Public Health Nurses get laid off every 5 years due to budget cuts that happen before epidemics/pandemics). Thankfully, I live in MA and will continue to work protecting and promoting health in the communities I serve through the end of next June (no guarantees due to Federal Budget cuts) and the grant funding that supports my position, will not be renewed. I thought I would be laid off this past June, but MA and many other states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for trying to revoke the funding that was already Bipartisan approved and we won. It is so frustrating and exhausting to be constantly debunking the healthcare conspiracy theories of RFK Jr and Trump..attacks on Tylenol and now blaming circumcision for autism. Sadly, debunking their BS has consumed my work at this time. Thanks so much for sharing your heartfelt words. It is messages like yours that keep my spirits lifted and motivate me to not give up, and to participate in Peaceful protests to maintain the democracy that means so much to us. 😊
He is proof that his dictatorial actions, supported by billionaires, Congress, and the upper judicial branch of government, can thrive in a manner similar to the German Third Reich of the 1933- 1945 years. The hope for our republic is in the lower courts and in the votes of We the People.
Thank you Debra. Your vocation certainly is not easy.
As usual for me, whenever I see a post about something I had not known about before I have to look it up. I certainly can understand why you would need the MMWR.
"An administration source, speaking anonymously so they could speak freely, told STAT that the publication is not gone, but Kent said the cuts leave MMWR essentially unable to publish.
“What it really means is it is impossible to rapidly disseminate public health science for action,” Kent said. “That would be critical if there’s a public health emergency. One of its main goals is to get information out as quickly as possible to help local and state officials respond.”
The man is losing it mentally the man is losing it physically. The man is losing it nationally and he knows he can’t go anywhere but down,his fake presidency his fake administration. He knows he’s a child rapist. We all know he knows he’s a child rapist and he has nowhere to hide that that’s why he wants that 40 gazillion dollar jet so he can flee the country and don’t you think he’s not going to!! And he isn’t taking anybody with him. He’s gonna let that fake administration fall and if they don’t think he’s going to. there as dumb as we all know they are.
I have never thought that, thank God they’re just all so stupid ! And they are all stupid. They open their mouth and stupid falls out like water! And if the stupid doesn’t fall out the lies fall out, and you can bet and guarantee that on a daily basis!! and that mentally unhinged lunatic dementia ridden psychopath pathological liar, 34 time convicted felon child rapist has never been smart. You don’t declare bankruptcy seven times and know what the fuck you’re doing and he never won an election ever! So no as far as taking us down! no they don’t have the brains to do that!
It’s not just Any jet, but one that is set up as a command center like Air Force One, which means if he leaves with it, he takes all our best technology with him and the control codes etc. thank on that for a dangerous scenario!
The Federalist billionaires provide the brains for the Republicans. Threats and fears follow in the wake of those who are not loyalists to Trump.A lot of intelligence has been directed towards attacks on our Constitution. Smith and Miller are very busy arranging for the public health defending deaths and for the Ice/ Venezuelan deaths and deprivations. Violence is their goal and is their methodological means for removal of human rights.
Please remember the gold in the oval office and the new wing of the White House devoted to celebrations and dinners. (Is the White House really the "people's house" anymore?
I remember when there were objections to Jacqueline Kennedy's rose garden and renovations of the White House in the 1960s. No person objected to the removal by Trump of the rose garden nor were we allowed to vote on changes in the White House. I wonder if new gold toilets are part of the renovations/additions?
I fear that were Trump to be removed from office that a renewed enthusiasm for Vance would still support the " Republican Machinery" that would uphold the same philosophy. Vance is a hawk waiting for his turn.
I wish and pray someone can have t h e moxy during an interview with trump to say first i dont care about loosing my job nor being sued but why are you dead set on destroying america and dismantling all of our safety nets that maintain our lives .this isnt a democrate thing this is total destruction of our foundation and constitutional rights that you grew up with .
On March 31, 2020, Jeff Tiedrich issued a challenge: "the first reporter to stand up and ask 'what the fuck is wrong with you' should get a lifetime Pulitzer." So far no reporter has accepted the challenge. Tiedrich's Substack is indispensable for staying informed, staying sane, and remembering how important it is to laugh out loud in times like these. https://www.jefftiedrich.com/
Please consult the Meidas programs and Robert Reich. There are many more confrontational kindred spirits working for the people and who encourage many more No More Kings marches.
And, remember, we pay for the tariffs. Meanwhile, farmers are cut out of international trade and food costs soar.I miss the comparative peace of the Obama and Biden years.
I think that Robert Reich said that the profits were directed towards Trump's personal Militia, Ice. The rest of those profits cannot make up for the countries who refuse to trade with us and for the foreign tourists who are afraid to vacation here or in Florida. The Canadian people are not coming to the USA in retribution for the way the tariffs were directed against their country. ( They were one of our greatest friends. We have lost many friends in the world. Some of the most loyal countries have combined to form a rescue mission for us).
Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t run the country. Russell Vought (Vomit) runs the country, but he is Hitleresque and will continue in the same vein forever and ever until his health takes him off the face of the Earth or he’s just simply voted out of office or impeached.
Absolutely right that Trump doesn't run the country, and that Vought is part of the ruling clique, but don't leave Stephen Miller out. He knows how the White House works better than Vought because he's been an insider longer. And do we really know who else is exercising influence, not only in the White House but in the various executive departments? I sure as hell don't.
Ben, what a wonderful job you and your brothers are doing. I’m so happy that you have seen such success, after you quit your jobs in order to do this full-time after January 6.

Same here, Rosemary.
Me three!
Ditto
DITTO!!!
Me too and I even remember Eisenhower and Truman.
me too, and I remember FDR and WWII
You must be really old, congratulations! I was born during WW11 but I don’t remember it apart from remembering we had vouchers to get some foods,
Holy.......you're real old lol! We need your age group immensely to share your memories of those times. I am somewhat younger but remember what my parents and grandparents, talked about what the world went through during the World Wars!
Same here Rosemary, I too have never seen or experienced anything so disturbing and disgusting like what’s happening to our country today.

Thanks, Connie!
Great job brothers!
I hope so!
Same here. We'll said
I'm 78 and agree. It is troubling times but I think the democracy will survive
I think there is a swell of people who will challenge this horrible president and his minions.
I hope we are not too late. It’s going to take someone from the inside to crack the dam and let it all out.
Same here and I'm 84! These brothers are one of my best resources for honest news, the other being Aaron Parnas. These four men give me hope as well as news.
Your reply could be mine, exactly, including the age!
I have never seen anything like this either and my parents lived through Hitler's Germany as children. Then they escaped to West Germany when the wall was being built.

Me too Rosemary. I’m 73 and I thought that Watergate and Nixon were the rock bottom. Live and learn. I’m truly frightened.
💙🇺🇸💙 Ditto! 💙🇺🇸💙
As I have stated many times, at 77, this is my living memory.
Amen sister ❤️
Very well said
The man is physically and mentally not well. He is living in his nightmares and destroying this country. Since we can’t control him perhaps he will stop performing is we stop advertising everything he does to show how powerful he thinks he is. Just a frustrated thought since he is spotlighted on my cellphone at least 20 times a day. I’m tired of being scared .
He may destroy the country, but he can't destroy the American ideal.
We will weather this storm, no matter hell or high water... WE will weather the storm! It's a dangerous journey, fraught with often overwhelming odds, but we will emerge smarter, stronger, and more unified as the process unfolds. Keep the faith, folks.
Or the American soul
Well, since America is really an idea, I wonder what more is there to destroy?
It’s easy to ignore his “antics” if it isn’t effecting your geographical location. Not so easy if you live in Chicago, Portland or Washington DC. Also not easy if your employment or healthcare is at stake. As US citizens it’s everyone’s responsibility to have our neighbors’ backs. Over a million men and women died or were wounded for our freedom just in WWII. Those young men and women were fearful! Put your big girl and big boy pants on, and at the minimum call your Senators and Representatives and tell them your concerns. Don’t put your fingers in your ears and scream “I don’t want to hear about it!” Do something; you’ll feel empowered.

We were much better off when we had just three hours of news every night. No influencers who have no credentials other than a million "likes" on Tik-tok, no reporting on when the president burped, just straight up news.
We have forgotten how to be neighbors caring for neighbors
Right! We had a party with a big variety of people yesterday. I saw a change, almost like a joy in the little things again. They asked how I was, and I celebrated their families with them. They respected everyone and said nothing of politics. It seemed a huge relief for all, especially the younger generation to gather in person and just enjoy a children’s birthday. This may be a way forward. Not sure, but it felt really nice.
Bingo! ..........and a big AMEN also!
October 18th! Be there 💪💙
The conman claims he’s in perfect health yet his ankles are so swollen. Doesn’t that indicate his heart isn’t functioning properly? I’m really hoping he won’t wake up tomorrow.
I’m not worried about his ankles; I’m worried about his mental health!
I just keep hoping he won’t wake up tomorrow. Then we won’t have to worry about what’s going on in that skull of his. ⚰️
His ankles are connected to his brain and heart and indicate poor health.
I bet Melania is hoping same
I can’t imagine being Melanie. I’d have to go stay in NYC full time. I’ll bet she knows lots about the conman’s BFF, Epstein.
Sadly, she's as evil as her Pedophile husband
You're probably right. Have to watch out for the silent ones. Often, they are far more dangerous.
Doubtful that his demise will be abrupt. More likely to continue the long, slow degeneration of body, mind and spirit. Same as his father.
I guess they’re too evil to die abruptly. His grandfather was a really bad guy, too. It’s in the conman’s genes. We can still hope.
His ankles aren't the only things that are swollen in that Dictator.
Well rump lies about everything!
I keep seeing him on a morgue table orange face blue lips. It is sort of a haunted image but really it is over due. Will he be in perfect health then too?
Yes, ignoring his antics might stop his idiotic performances. At least, it's worth giving it a try.
It's a shame that it's so bad to do. It seems like he's shoved in our faces every second of every day.
Ben, why is no one, or almost no one, talking about Stephen Miller and the architects of Project 2025.

Don't forget Qatar having the locations of our military bases now.
Why does Quatar need an airbase in US? This cannot be good for our USA. And since when does rump®ime have the power to give away USA???
Since the Republican more than half of Congress, both houses, bent their knees to Trump under threats from his wealthy Federalist billionaires.
Boycott that base!
They have a base here in a western state.
I can't figure why anyone would listen to trump and RFK, jr. for any medical”news”. They're two of the biggest nutjobs in the administration.
Me either..it boggles my mind. 🤢🤬🤬🤬
Hey… shut up and drink your bleach…then put a flashlight up your…

Thanks so much for sharing this information with me. I greatly appreciate it.
The man is losing it mentally the man is losing it physically. The man is losing it nationally and he knows he can’t go anywhere but down,his fake presidency his fake administration. He knows he’s a child rapist. We all know he knows he’s a child rapist and he has nowhere to hide that that’s why he wants that 40 gazillion dollar jet so he can flee the country and don’t you think he’s not going to!! And he isn’t taking anybody with him. He’s gonna let that fake administration fall and if they don’t think he’s going to. there as dumb as we all know they are.
I have never thought that, thank God they’re just all so stupid ! And they are all stupid. They open their mouth and stupid falls out like water!

You don’t declare bankruptcy seven times and know what the fuck you’re doing and he never won an election ever! So no as far as taking us down! no they don’t have the brains to do that!
It’s not just Any jet, but one that is set up as a command center like Air Force One, which means if he leaves with it, he takes all our best technology with him and the control codes etc. thank on that for a dangerous scenario!
But which country would have him, that he would really want to live in? Qatar? Israel? ( but probably only as long as Bibi is in power)
Hey, I have a good idea, drop him down in Gaza!
The Federalist billionaires provide the brains for the Republicans. Threats and fears follow in the wake of those who are not loyalists to Trump.A lot of intelligence has been directed towards attacks on our Constitution. Smith and Miller are very busy arranging for the public health defending deaths and for the Ice/ Venezuelan deaths and deprivations. Violence is their goal and is their methodological means for removal of human rights.
He’s going to take us down with him.
If the Pedo flees from justice as a criminal, his plane can be forced and/or shot down
Maybe that’s why he’s waiting to have it reinforced with all the bells and whistles that Air Force One has on it?
More millions of taxpayers dollars 💸 gone to fund his lavish lifestyle!🙄😏🏴☠️🤑😝
Please remember the gold in the oval office and the new wing of the White House devoted to celebrations and dinners. (Is the White House really the "people's house" anymore?
I remember when there were objections to Jacqueline Kennedy's rose garden and renovations of the White House in the 1960s. No person objected to the removal by Trump of the rose garden nor were we allowed to vote on changes in the White House. I wonder if new gold toilets are part of the renovations/additions?
Of course,thank you taxpayers!
Yup Tori! It was always about him and it will always be that way-so when the moment is right he will make his exit for sure!!
Absolutely I don’t expect him to even take his kids. I’m not even sure his hooker wife will go!
Don't you mean his Einstein visa wife 🤣
Yes! Thank you very much for correcting me🥂
The entire Trump mafia family would look great in orange 🧡
🤣
I don’t think the mafia would appreciate you calling him mafia! The mafia have brains there’s not a brain in that family!
They have the geniuses of the Federalists to direct their actions according to plan. And, they have billionaires to fund them.
he made find out they had the combination to the safe after all, when he attempts to empty it before fleeing!!
Vance is way too fucking stupid! And we could make Vance cry at the drop of a hat! And he doesn’t want his makeup running on camera
I fear that were Trump to be removed from office that a renewed enthusiasm for Vance would still support the " Republican Machinery" that would uphold the same philosophy. Vance is a hawk waiting for his turn.
I like these mid-day updates, thank you!
Columbus is the original American hero? He is a deluded imbecile. How long can we take this decimation?
Disturbed, Delusional, Demented Donald
Dear America,
PLEASE take peacefully to the streets and stay there until IDU-MAGA-Russian operatives leave your White House.
Warmest regards 💪
I wish and pray someone can have t h e moxy during an interview with trump to say first i dont care about loosing my job nor being sued but why are you dead set on destroying america and dismantling all of our safety nets that maintain our lives .this isnt a democrate thing this is total destruction of our foundation and constitutional rights that you grew up with .
On March 31, 2020, Jeff Tiedrich issued a challenge: "the first reporter to stand up and ask 'what the fuck is wrong with you' should get a lifetime Pulitzer." So far no reporter has accepted the challenge. Tiedrich's Substack is indispensable for staying informed, staying sane, and remembering how important it is to laugh out loud in times like these. https://www.jefftiedrich.com/
Please consult the Meidas programs and Robert Reich. There are many more confrontational kindred spirits working for the people and who encourage many more No More Kings marches.
Thanks for all the Meidas Touch does to keep us informed.
What happened to all the money DOGE was supposed to save us? Where is it? In his ballroom?
he’s a stark raving lunatic and he needs to go - and I don’t care how or where he disappears to. Perhaps he should seek “asylum.” He’s just ignorant.
And where's that...I lose track of his lies... 17 Billion or something he got from the tariffs?
It's 17 TRILLION.
So ridiculous
And, remember, we pay for the tariffs. Meanwhile, farmers are cut out of international trade and food costs soar.I miss the comparative peace of the Obama and Biden years.
Yes it’s recorded when he announced with a snicker…We’re gonna get rich…
In Drumpf's pockets!
I know, huh?
Doge Cost us money, they spent more than 500 million to get our government
To gut our government
I think that Robert Reich said that the profits were directed towards Trump's personal Militia, Ice. The rest of those profits cannot make up for the countries who refuse to trade with us and for the foreign tourists who are afraid to vacation here or in Florida. The Canadian people are not coming to the USA in retribution for the way the tariffs were directed against their country. ( They were one of our greatest friends. We have lost many friends in the world. Some of the most loyal countries have combined to form a rescue mission for us).
We so need to protest!! Liars and hypocrites.
Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t run the country. Russell Vought (Vomit) runs the country, but he is Hitleresque and will continue in the same vein forever and ever until his health takes him off the face of the Earth or he’s just simply voted out of office or impeached.
Absolutely right that Trump doesn't run the country, and that Vought is part of the ruling clique, but don't leave Stephen Miller out. He knows how the White House works better than Vought because he's been an insider longer. And do we really know who else is exercising influence, not only in the White House but in the various executive departments? I sure as hell don't.
Yes, we do. Please consult Robert Reich and the Meidas program.
I follow both, and neither one has pushed much beyond the obvious faces. If you have info that they don't, please share!
Along with Shadow President Stephen Miller 🤬
He wasn't elected, so he can't be voted out. Could be impeached or fired.
No Kings Rally is a Love America Rally.
Baby Hitler strikes, again. He won't admit that he's a Nazi, yet everything he has done is what Hitler had done.
Exactly he follows the Book of Hitler’s speeches and I’m sure he was influenced by his grandfather and father…
ANY time of day I thank you for your updates, Ben. Where would we be without them? You’re always on top of things snd I appreciate you very much.
