I think you need to keep this unpaywalled. In these times, this outlet has become our only reliable truthful news source. Without MeidasTouch News and other credible content, we are blind. I understand that that’s not a profitable business model but it’s what we need.
I totally agree. There are a couple of sites that don't have paywalls that I subscribe to anyway because I value their work. I wish I could afford to give MORE to HCR and the Bulwark - and a couple of others.
That should be the case especially when considering the hard times many are facing now, and would only be adding to the stress of being strapped. In other words, there’s all the good reasons to do this and no negative effects and the PR would be great.
It would defeat the purpose of being a member supported movement. They would need corporate sponsors. Or worse have to deal with rules and regulations like the other MSM. I agree . But not at the expense of MTN becoming another MSM controlled entity.
I too agree. In fact, I have responded several times to your request to take a paid subscription (without a response or acknowledgement by the way) saying that as a pensioner I am limited in the number I can afford and as a Canadian, I chose to subscribe to Charlie Angus.
I would love to help out some people who can not afford to pay for an annual subscription. I would need to have a receipt showing it as a donation. I'm not sure how to go about it though? You know, like 10 subscriptions in one transaction? I don't even know if Substack does something like that? My CPA advised me I have to donate a certain amount of money in order to keep Trump's grubby hands off my tax dollars. My goal is to pay as little as possible for my taxes. I actually paid minimal taxes for 2025. I'm self-employed so I have to pay quarterly and I got back most of what I put in last year. I was happy with that. Anyway, if I could help others out with a paid subscription to see/hear the truth, I'd love to do so.
Thank you! I want to help others but do not know how to move forward. Contacting the MTN? I'm sure they have thousands of messages and it could easily be overlooked.
It is a good idea for sure. I cani only do so much myself. I think sometimes people feel bad that they can't afford it at all. You have the internet if you are here. You pay for that. Add what you can afford . There's SO MUCH available info. We need to all stay here and informed. GO MEIDASMIGHTY!!
As an Afghan veteran, I know what happen when leadership is weak. Trump going to China and not even talking about tariffs, and then defending their leader? This is not showing strength. While regular people suffer with high gas prices, politicians just say "that's life."
Trump is a LOSER. I have to ask, "who is surprised it was a nothing meeting?" Trump is NOT a diplomat! He also is not the brilliant, big brained deal making stud he imagines himself to be. He's just another "wanna be important" self deluded LOSER!!
We don't even need words to describe the concept of "failing forward." Just a photo of trump -- the biggest example of failing forward in the history of the galaxy.
I kind of think the statue of King Con in gold looks a whole lot like the Donny & Jeffrey statues that appear frequently on the National Mall. And I like those better.
… who is a malignant narcissist with dementia…. A tried and convicted felon and rapist … I don’t see the problem… yes that’s sarcasm…. A man with all these qualities should not have all the power he has 💣
Gerrymandering might save some of the House members. But I hope that same gerrymandering backfires and causes every single GOP Senator to lose their seats. Every. single. one.
MAGA would lose its ever-loving shit if Biden had gone over and given away American farmland, half-a-million student visas, AI chips and Taiwan while coming back with nothing. MAGA is shit, hypocritical shit, just like Stinky. This trip was a “dud”? This trip was our Manchurian Candidate giving away yet more American security and prosperity. This trip was treason, if giving aid and comfort to the enemy is treason. A dud? No, an absolute fucking failure. And treason.
So Ben, another solid breakdown of trump’s disastrous China trip, a full‑blown clown parade of sycophants who looked like they thought they were on some kind of guided vacation. Half of them were pointing at random things like tourists, and Musk looked stoned out of his mind. Then, Xi gives trump a direct warning about the Taiwan situation, and trump turns around and claims Xi was talking about Biden. I watched Xi’s last meeting with Biden. I know for a fact Trump is lying pathologically, AGAIN. So how the fck do we stop this clown show? This is corruption. This is a scam. This is a pathetic display by Trump’s sycophants — shameless fools, every single one of them. The US can’t wait until November. Something has to give because this shit show is spiraling.*
All flash and no substance. Perhaps that could be trademarked by the current Administration and replicated in gold in the ballroom, on the arch, Air Force One. The possibilities are endless. Oh, and my mistake. In keeping with the current guidelines it should read: TRUMP. All flash and no substance.
Kim Jong and his advisers have long ago worked out what keeps Donald "Tug my Todger" Trump happy. Not negotiation, diplomacy and mutual agreements - just make him smile, tell him your his BBF. Telling him he's your BFF works every time - because he's never had one.
I love the work you do at MeidasTouch News. I read, listen to or watch almost everything that you make available in the free form. I simply cannot afford another subscription and have eliminated a number of others out of financial necessity. Please do not require a paid subscription.
I canceled NYT and WaPo to subscribe to MTN and a few others. I hope it helps so these independent news sources can provide free content for those who cannot afford the subscription.
The Taiwan playbook will follow the same path as Ukraine. The orange dictator will delay, prevaricate, insult Taiwan and eventually fail to come up to the US's obligations. This man is very dangerous.
Isn't it just amazing how small the Grifter in Thief becomes around dictators. Taiwan is lost but, who knows, maybe we get Venezuela. He cannot be allowed out of the country again. SNAFU.

And what was it that trump said recently about who’s holding all the cards?
This seems to imply otherwise…

He is a loser, but then he has Jim "that's just life" jordan back home praising him. Another disgusting pedophile that needs to go.
We don't even need words to describe the concept of "failing forward." Just a photo of trump -- the biggest example of failing forward in the history of the galaxy.
rumpie Now saying- he want to build golden statue of himself!
Reminds me of sadamm hussein dictatorship in Iraq! If the wormy reps approve, will be the most vandalized and spit on statue in the world!
I kind of think the statue of King Con in gold looks a whole lot like the Donny & Jeffrey statues that appear frequently on the National Mall. And I like those better.
EXACTLY!
… who is a malignant narcissist with dementia…. A tried and convicted felon and rapist … I don’t see the problem… yes that’s sarcasm…. A man with all these qualities should not have all the power he has 💣
He wouldn't have this power if EVEN LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF CONGRESSIONAL GOP would do the right thing.
Gerrymandering might save some of the House members. But I hope that same gerrymandering backfires and causes every single GOP Senator to lose their seats. Every. single. one.
*but especially *Collins*!
Since electing senators is state-wide, gerrymandering probably doesn't have the same effect, so...........

Thanks, Meidas Network!
Trip was A "Dud", just like him.
Kim Jong and his advisers have long ago worked out what keeps Donald "Tug my Todger" Trump happy. Not negotiation, diplomacy and mutual agreements - just make him smile, tell him your his BBF. Telling him he's your BFF works every time - because he's never had one.
Except for Epstein.
"BFF" - until he wasn't. . .
Exactly!

How to get rid of a mad dictator?
LOCK HIM UP
He is a psychopath, grifter to the tune of Billions, liar, destroying our democracy, our environment. There MUST be CONSEQUENCES.
Isn't it just amazing how small the Grifter in Thief becomes around dictators. Taiwan is lost but, who knows, maybe we get Venezuela. He cannot be allowed out of the country again. SNAFU.
I'd rather he never be allowed back in the country again. Next time he leaves, lock him out!
#EPIC FUBAR
Even for Elon? It seemed like the Chinese bowed to him. 🇨🇳
Chinese electric cars are better than Musk's, and he knows it.
