Jeanine, you nailed it and if I didn’t read the news (or if I lived on a steady CNN diet of “both sides” mush or stayed in the Fox News coma ward), I might think Ben’s post was just a guy in the middle of a midlife crisis. Then I asked myself, “Am I in a midlife crisis?” …ah, sh** never mind, I digress.
What you’re picking up on and what makes this different is that Ben isn’t just ranting. He’s naming names, calling the plays, and making it clear this isn’t normal politics. Trump handing Putin a symbolic win on U.S. soil isn’t foreign policy; it’s a pawn shop special trading away the country’s dignity for his own protection.
Like you said, this work is appreciated ….especially by the ones who’ll never admit it. Because while others are worried about being “respectable” or “civil,” Ben is doing what leaders do: saying the quiet part out loud, cutting through corporate media’s sedation, and reminding everyone that this fight takes sacrifice now.
If that’s a midlife crisis, we need about 330 million more of them. Mine just comes with more reading glasses I can’t f****** stand, more coffee, and a stubborn refusal to shut up. www.xplisset.com
I'm in an old age crisis! So much for retirement frolicking and frivolity.
It's assumed that my generation needs to shut up and shut down. What are we, other than doddering old fools?
Yes, I wear glasses, hearing aides, and use two canes or a walker, when it hurts to stand and walk, after sitting at this glitchy keyboard for too long a stretch.
Yes, I listen to my beloved - ordinarily loving - dementia afflicted soul mate, (first meeting him in high school in 1960) - telling me that the bedroom is his "home" and the rest of the house and everything in it is his, and his alone, and that I don't belong here - but is still quite happy with the care I give him otherwise.
Then I hear the dreaded voice of NMP telling me the same thing. Too close to home for comfort.
I still try to say the quiet part out loud and attempt to cry the clarion call.
yes, this is the only place we can get real facts lately with CVS and ABC capitulating when they had winning lawsuits and didn’t stand up for the rule of law shows wearing a real crisis
Also, I love to check out on the youtube channel how the number of subscribers there grows and grows! Usually there is an increase every couple of days, but one day this week I got to see an increase in one day!!!
I think that the number of subscribers on youtube is different than paid subscribers for the substacks. I think the paid membership may be around 800,000 but I don't know. I think a while ago there were 750,000 paid subscribers to the substack. Am I right?
You & your team are the strongest soldiers we have fighting at the moment. Yes we take to the streets but without coverage without publicity & without someone constantly speaking out against this hostile takeover, it would mean nothing. Every day I listen to you, & everyday you post. It’s got to be exhausting but you’re there, always fighting to save us. THANK YOU! We need you more than most people realize & I’m so appreciative of you, your brothers, & your team! You’re fighting for us when most others are not. Not to minimize military members, but what you’re doing day after day is just as important as any soldier in uniform (more imo) & I want to thank you for your service! We need you & we see you & we love you! Keep fighting the good fight! You’re leading us on our journey to the right side of history! 🫶🏼💙
Like many here, I'm furious at the Democratic "leadership" team acting as though ANY of this is normal.
I was thrilled yesterday when I learned Chris Murphy -- who has fought the dictator since Day One -- announced he would NOT play the usual Budget games with the GOP. That would give them a "bipartisan" cover as they continue to dismantle the entire Federal government. He will vote "NO" on any & all budget bills wandering through the Senate -- bucking the Dem "leadership" who pretend everything's just like it always was.
He rightly points out that it won't matter anyway, since the Fuhrer will ignore it & do whatever he damn well pleases, "budget" be damned.
After I called & thanked him, I immediately called my own two Senators to urge them to join him in fighting back.
"But that will shut the government down!" I hear them say. "So what? The GOP OWNS THE GOVERNMENT." Any shutdown will be completely on their shoulders.
We need to step up & make those whose salary we pay so the same. MTN is leading the way.
I watched Ken Martin on Jessica Craven's substack yesterday and I was impressed....he seems to feel a lot of the same way you do...there are major problems with the old guard leadership in the Democratic party.
I’d like you to spread the word about the 2024 presidential voting fraud case in New York. People need to know the election was not legal. This is just the tip of the iceberg. A legal way to take down this administration and the billionaire backers, is to prove they cheated in the election. I think Democrats are afraid we sound like the MaGa cult when we question the legitimacy of the election. I don’t care how we sound. The truth is still the truth. Please amplify this. It’s really important. Newsweek and MSN each had a small article about it. The Substacks of Dissent in Bloom, Smart Elections, and This Will Hold have information that makes sense. And the lawsuit in New York is moving forward, which means there is evidence of fraud.
Also Election Truth Alliance has similar findings in many of the swing states.
This is bigger than Epstein, and will take down more players in this illegal regime, instead of just their mascot Don the Con. The likelihood of the Epstein files seeing the light of day untampered with, is slim. Even if Don gets impeached, we will still have Vance. If Vance gets in, the same 2025 players will be making his decisions for him.
Please use your voice to send this message to the masses. This could make all the difference! Thank you!!
I have no doubt that someone on the Meidas team has caught wind of this news and following closely. If I recall correctly, they have had people from ETA on their show in the past.. Come to think of it, that may have even been how I discovered ETA.
In my opinion, Meidas should keep this story on the backburner until the fraud is proven in court. Yes awareness would be good, but as you know, Meidas comes with receipts. ETA has found some concerning breadcrumbs in their analysis, but not yet a “receipt” which can easily be shown and explained to the public.
There’s also the whole idea that the ideological “well” has been poisoned when it comes to serious suspicions of republicans manipulating votes. This means that whoever reports on it is essentially swimming in a poisoned well, which nobody wants to get close to or “drink” from. That’s why it’s super important for Meidas to have the receipts from the court cases when/if it comes time to report on this.
thanks for all you and your team does Ben! so we have to think like the people behind the Buffoon say Texas is blocked with 5 then what would he try to mess up the mid terms? He does not want to be impeached the last time Don Jr. emailed meadows thinking they had the bases all covered with the fake electors and their upcoming plan to raid the house and plan to kill the vise president with already bought Gallo for gosh sakes! Donald is stupid maybe just ask him what his plans are ? remember the last time he defunded the post office and bragged about it before the 2020 election he's stupid he would tell us I think
what would the Donald be told to do if the plan for Texas to give him 5 seats? hmmmm maybe call a National Emergency during the voting? have the national guard and the marines mess with the voters? I'm a election official in upstate NY I do not see any way they can mess with the vote count I can see how they could intimidate voters though! I can see how he could wipe out a section of voters by having ICE pick them up or threaten to. what else could he do? declare war somewhere during the voting at midterms? declare a WW!! Marshall plan? Donald will do anything to stay in power he knows Rikers would take him they had plans before!!
gosh just recently I recall Doanld instructed two Nuclear Subs to be placed pointing at Russea due to an past Russian saying something mean about Donald? it's all little tests and diversions the real issue he's dodging. the now FBI redacted Ebstein Files would expose Donald as a Pedophile and a Predator!! I'd bet big on it!!
as I recall Donald wanted to shoot in the legs George Floyd protesters where he first ran to his Bunker! then tear gas and clubs fought his way to the unwelcome Church he imposed a photo OP where he unknowingly held his bible upside down! that gold disgusting decor in the white hose is Dons way to show off himself truth is it's not real gold it's fools gold next person in should put all that curb side!!
I remember Donald thought he could buy the Buffalo Bills NFL team by just bringing in a Forbes article about his wealth? yep except he was calling them every day saying his name was "Baron" advocating to be on the ranked wealth list! he was in debt big time!!
now he wants a Nobel prize. I worked with a secretary like that oh she cried tears coming down because she didn't get an award while someone else did so my boss gave her an award also results give all the staff awards ? instead of the ones that actually should have got one yep that's Donald
hey maybe Meidas can give Buffoon Donald an award? like the photos of all the people he's deported? like the kids he took food away from? or a meme of Gavin Newsom walking the Donald out of office pulling on his right grown back ear lobe??
with a swift kick into his incontinent ass out the door into the hands of Latitia James and a cell at Rikers for him? forget that double wide plan make him pay back all that grifting every dime!!
remember Donald tried the ball bat to Alvin? would a meme of Gov Newsom pulling on Donalds ear be ok? or would Don want defamation money? Donald is trying to dig up any dirt that can be found on Govin he might have something made up likely I think!!
The Demented Dictator would issue an executive order that some dumb thing was going on so he could postpone elections forever......or, of course, some kind of an emergency if the executive order didn't work. If we're still having free elections in November 2026, he'll definitely try to pull one of those. That way, he and the republiCRAPS would still be able to have total control over our (their???) government.
You called trump exactly what he is and couldn’t agree more. He is a traitor to our country, he sides with our enemies all the time. He is the enemy within, he is aligned with the Proud Boys and others who want to take down our country. We can not be silent.
TY for mentioning that. In a recent podcast by Tennessee Brando he mentioned that so much happens that we forget bits and pieces of what has happened, sometimes as recently as just a few weeks ago.
Other than for suspecting that the Proud Boys are probably some of the ICE agents I had not given them much thought. Then I realized that I have not seen one article about them or what's going on with them.
They didn’t just take the pardons and become a bunch of Eagle Scouts for sure. They are laying low and could be part of this nightmare we call society at any point. And Trump would sell them out in an instant too.
Many of the MAGAs are just noisy mouth pieces; but, these guys are truly dangerous. I think you are right. They are probably waiting for their call to duty. Once trump would decide he had no further use for them I'm sure you are right about him selling them out.
And Trump will say to Putin ‘Sir I am so excited to see you again after several years and I hope you are pleased with me for doing so much in only six months to wreck the American economy. Please ignore what I said that I won’t let Putin mess with me. That was just for my dumb MAGA followers. I am just waiting for you to tell me what you want me to do. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Thank you every day for what you all do and it is very much appreciated by us all. Even from the ones who won’t admit it.

Also, I love to check out on the youtube channel how the number of subscribers there grows and grows! Usually there is an increase every couple of days, but one day this week I got to see an increase in one day!!!
MTN has 5.27 million members. There were 4.52 million in March, saw the number rise a thousand while making a sandwich.
I think that the number of subscribers on youtube is different than paid subscribers for the substacks. I think the paid membership may be around 800,000 but I don't know. I think a while ago there were 750,000 paid subscribers to the substack. Am I right?

So does this comment section. Go Meitas Mighty!
TY Ben.
Leaders need to be willing to sacrifice everything they have to fight Trump.
Yup - I expect MORE for my vote. Some fucking politicians seem to forget who they are working for.
Out they should go
I like your comment, so true ☮️

If they hacked the election /machines /Tally what is being DONE to prevent it from happening again .????who or what is on top of this ??
I wish I had the answers for you. Hopefully a lot of small voices like mine and yours will come together, and be a very loud voice for justice.
