I love cursing and it’s one of my great talents that’s coming quite in handy right now. The other talent I’ve got is I’m a published research historian so I’m good at knowing stuff. Turns out cursing and knowing stuff are two great weapons against fascist morons.
Me too, lol.. 🤣 he's so professional and so proper that when he cursed 🤬 you know he's mad, mad!! But I love it. He's human and has the right to vent just like the rest of us. Period. 👏👍🙌😌

Honestly I think the BEST RESISTORS are gathered here on Meidas Touch Network.
Look at my forum icon, do you see the little + sign on the bottom right? That + sign indicates a paid subscriber. Scroll the comments look at the icons, look and see how many of us have that little + sign on our forum icon. A LOT of us.
A paid subscription to Meidas Touch is only $10 a month (cancel at any time).
Your, and my, and everybody else's $10 month is the wind beneath MTN wings.
If you can, please become a paid subscriber and send them a little puff of air, which when joined with all the other little puffs of air from all the other subscribers, becomes a mighty jet stream, the wind beneath their wings lifting them, soaring higher and higher, gaining more and more influence and visibility.
Become a paid subscriber, only $10 a month (cancel at any time) and become the wind beneath MTN's wings. If you do, you will feel good about it.
In May, will gift subscriptions and get me a Meidas Maple shirt. Along with support PBS, oh and ACLU. Each month I do something. May 1, boycott and protest, and vote with your dollars, every purchase.
This is random, but can I tell you something? Abney is my middle name. I have never, ever seen anyone else with that name! My great-great grandmother's maiden name was Abney. Hello, distant relative!
Hello. My dad's family is from Kansas. I looked up Jennifer Abney on social media a while back and there are at least 13 of us, including a news broadcaster. Where are you from? Oregon here. :)
I never used to curse, except for shit or damn once in a while.. It wasn't ladylike. (I'm 83). Now it has become so familiar - like a second language. My mother, if she were here, would have the bar of soap handy for the mouth washing. On second thought, she would probably join me.
Those were the only 2 curse words I used to use occasionally. Now my three daughters, all 50+, are trying to get used to the stronger ones coming out of my mouth.
I’m 81 and I’m right there with you but I can’t say it’s anything new. It’s just getting more colorful as I age. A co-worker years ago accused me of learning to talk at the Navy’s truck driver school….
Judy, me too, me too. I rarely cursed on social media, rarely.
But whenever Trump is in power I just can't help myself, no other NON curse words describe what he is doing. Mostly I use EFF, but when I am really outraged, I will let the full F word fly.
Charlotte, you're my spirit animal. I LOVE CURSING 🤬 TOO!!! LOL.. It just gets the point across so good.. and let's people know how disappointed, angry, dismayed you are with them. People tend to be on alert and listen when you throw a cuss here and there. 😂🥳
I genuinely don't understand why grown adults get so offended by cussing. It's ridiculous. You know what's offensive to me? Every single thing the Trump administration does.
I completely agree. My education is helping and cursing gets the attention, but WTF is the only way to describe our country sometimes. Most of the time.
I'm still figuring out how to use my voice on this platform but I do plan on posting little mini history lessons here that can help us understand the times we live in right now. I am an educator in higher education and my book is forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press. This book is the product of ten years of research and work and, if I do say myself, it makes a fascinating case about the origins of industrialized consumer capitalism in circa 1700 Scotland. If you're interested in learning some more about our society's history, please consider following me. If you're interested in learning more about Scottish history or the British Atlantic World, follow me.
We were wondering about David Muir. Fell out with him during the debates when he insisted on calling that orange mess "Mr. President" when he should have addressed him as "Mr. Trump" or (preferably) "Mr. Felon." He was a favorite of ours.
Yes. Edward R. Murrow comes to mind. I enjoyed Wm. F. Buckley, Huntley and Brinkley too. Serious Journalism sank to a new low until MTN came along. I got a kick out of Walter Winchell and Hedda Hopper and their Hollywood banter back in the day.
Yes “ONWARD” to the continued fight for our democracy 💙✊🏽! Also, how can trump’s approval rating not be in the 20s and teens by now????? I guess the cult members will never see the “light”🫤
As has been the case, it really depends on who the pollster is, because increasingly it is obvious that the polls are showing truth to be inescapable even as the LIEs of "free eggs!" & "everything is better!" & " they're all paid protesters!" continue, the polls are showing that the people of this country are NOT happy with the direction we are being dragged. Expect the bread & circuses to increase geometrically.
Most people lie. -- validity studies, i.e. the k scale on the MMPI, lie detectors, etc -- show that people respond to what they think the pollster wants them to say.
IMHO if placed under oath, the outcome would be more valid.
I saw one yesterday that his approval rating on the economy was 37. Imagine breaking your own record over and over. Sounds good, doesn't it? Except the jerk doesn't know that it's supposed to be breaking upward, not downward!
Wouldn't it be great if Bill Owens joined MTN and did an MTN version of 60 minutes every week. It could be called 61 minutes of truth. Or Truth Minutes. CBS can go the way of the "other" news agencies that have kissed the ring. Bye bye cowards.
It would be GREAT if Owens came to MTN, but I bet he will go to the Contrarian, also an excellent Substack member with some great contributors. Either way, there are excellent resistance accounts on Substack, YouTube and Podcasts. And now they seem to make appearances and contributions on others Substack, look at Jim Acosta, he has his own Subsack but he still pops over on MTN from time to time.
F' CBS. When I heard Rachel Maddow last night mention the almighty Meidas I felt like a mother when her child comes home with a "Best Student of the Month" badge! Love you guys! You have replaced the family that I have lost to the orange-turd regime! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes! We must put an end to any corporation turning against democracy.
If we can’t muster the STRENGTH to do something so simple after what our fathers and grandfathers did in WWII, then we don’t deserve to be free. Wake UP and fight back, America.
I canceled my Paramount subscription yesterday and in the comment section I reiterated everything that you said Ben. I told him I was disappointed and that I would never watch CBS again.
Because they’re bending the knee to Trump based on the 60 minutes interview, they did with Kamala Harris before the election. Trump was pissed off because one had showed her saying one thing and then another ad shoulder saying something different. It’s called editorial freedom and he is suing them because of that. They gave in and the lead person on 60 minutes has walked out, resigned, because he does not agree with CBS’s stance.
Who are the "they?" you are referring to? As of today, no offer of a settlement has been made that I can find. Do you have a link on that?
What I have found is that when Trump doubled down on taking CBS's license away after the story on Greenland and one other, Share Redstone decided she needed to have more transparency into 60 minutes. She put an editor over Bill Owens to oversee the stories, especially those that might cause further issues with Trump and the pending lawsuit that she had been fighting off since he filed it.
Bill Owens, who has had pretty much full autonomy to run 60 minutes, found the extra layer of editorializing offensive and cumbersome, from what I can see, and felt he could no longer do his job. I get that. I see that being the case. When the boss comes out of their ivory tower and starts micro managing, good people leave.
But, I haven't found anything to prove that Shari Redstone has caved to Trump - at least not yet, and all other media points that she has been fighting Trump over all this while trying to sell out to David Ellison, a Democrat and Biden Supporter. (Yes, his dad is Larry Ellison, but I guess he and his son do not agree on politics).
What would you do now if you were Shari, your company has this 20 Billion dollar frivolous lawsuit against it that would probably fail in the long run - but will be dragged out for years with Trump hoping he can wear you down, a merger in the works that the lawsuit is a black cloud over, and you wanted out after months of fighting about all of it? What is the "right" thing for her to do and what you do if you were her?
I watched one of the MeidasTouch episodes where I believe they mentioned that Bill had resigned from 60 Minutes and CBS. It was a couple of days ago. I also read something about it when I was on my regular pc. Still not gonna watch them and still glad I canceled Paramont.
Let legacy media burn out. We have plenty of hands raised to become unrelenting phoenixes, to do right for the people wanting truth instead of regurgitated lies.
History will remember you all for your stand against tyranny. Thank you!
ANTI TRUMP PROTESTS SWEEP THE NATION,CROSSING THE THRESHOLD OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA ATTENTION.............Ratchell Maddow......MSNBC...YouTube report
( 60 minutes is now officially a waste of time= more time to spend on MTN.....,IHIPNEWS...David Pakman..........pro-democracy voices
Love Substack and MTN. But I love TRUTH.
WTF? Did you guys get hacked?
Did mainstream reports on protests give Maggats "Brain Fog" that had to be deleted????
I got a similar message from Pete Buttigieg's Substack. No idea what it's all about, not that I have anything extra to invest...
Hacked
It’s ok, most of us knew it but didn’t find it that important to point it out, the content is what mattered to me!
When legacy media bends to pressure,
we don’t crumble—
we build.
CBS can play polite.
But truth doesn’t wait for permission.
And platforms like Meidas?
They don’t ask for the mic—
they take it,
with facts, fire, and fearless receipts.
This isn’t the end of journalism.
It’s its resurrection.
In real time.
By people who still believe
the First Amendment means something.
So let them walk.
We’re still here.
Louder. Sharper. Unbought.
What will you say, now that the echo chamber cracked open?
Still becoming, with you ♾️
Beautiful poem! I wrote one for Meidas as well. They are the bravest defenders of democracy! https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/meidas-touch-poem

Hello. My dad's family is from Kansas. I looked up Jennifer Abney on social media a while back and there are at least 13 of us, including a news broadcaster. Where are you from? Oregon here. :)
I grew up in the Northeast but my branch of the Abneys hail from South Carolina. So interesting!
I never used to curse, except for shit or damn once in a while.. It wasn't ladylike. (I'm 83). Now it has become so familiar - like a second language. My mother, if she were here, would have the bar of soap handy for the mouth washing. On second thought, she would probably join me.

Right there with you!
That's one of the perks of getting older.
Hear. Hear.
Judy, me too, me too. I rarely cursed on social media, rarely.
But whenever Trump is in power I just can't help myself, no other NON curse words describe what he is doing. Mostly I use EFF, but when I am really outraged, I will let the full F word fly.
Using the f word like a comma in my sentences these days.
I was raised by a good southern woman who also never curses. Poor Mama haha. But they're the best at accursed times like this.
Charlotte, you're my spirit animal. I LOVE CURSING 🤬 TOO!!! LOL.. It just gets the point across so good.. and let's people know how disappointed, angry, dismayed you are with them. People tend to be on alert and listen when you throw a cuss here and there. 😂🥳

Exactly!
I concur! 👏👏👏
Charlotte, that gave me a good laugh. Maybe you should do a podcast and teach that talent to the Democrats.
I completely agree. My education is helping and cursing gets the attention, but WTF is the only way to describe our country sometimes. Most of the time.
I know nothing but I like to rant. Let's bring now the administration from hell!
Trump and his Magats have brought it out of us!! And they're quite deserving, too!

Spam or Hacked account?
CBS = Crash, Burn, and SINK!
I never liked CBS anyhow except for 60 Minutes. I hope we can work out a deal here at Meidas. Go Go Go
I like Stephen Colbert too....I wonder what he'll say about all this.
Draft Jon Stewart for president
Yes. Will he stand for something? Or, fall for anything?
OH yes, I like him too.
Dan Rather has his own Substack and it is great........He is a very big music fan as well as a patriot.
Thanks for the tip! --Mrs. Ed
Keep in mind the twin debacles of Kenneth's Frequency & that he ended up on RT for a long while.
Agreed. You have to go back to Walter Cronkite.
Walter was against the Vietnam war.........he would be a major anti-Trump voice
We were wondering about David Muir. Fell out with him during the debates when he insisted on calling that orange mess "Mr. President" when he should have addressed him as "Mr. Trump" or (preferably) "Mr. Felon." He was a favorite of ours.
...and All In The Family, of course. There's a lot to be said for sliding stuff under the door using the grease of Comedy.
Boy, you're right there! Unfortunately it would be lost on those who really need to be impacted by it.
I thought of this one... "Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again".
Which I've never personally said, but he'd be an improvement over the current shitshow.
Rin Tin Tin would be an improvement!
At a certain age, most of us cut our teeth on Crinkite! I mean the assassination if JFK, MLK, Jr., RFK, and the first moon walk!!!! Walter was my man.
Yes. Edward R. Murrow comes to mind. I enjoyed Wm. F. Buckley, Huntley and Brinkley too. Serious Journalism sank to a new low until MTN came along. I got a kick out of Walter Winchell and Hedda Hopper and their Hollywood banter back in the day.
PERFECT!!!
Yes “ONWARD” to the continued fight for our democracy 💙✊🏽! Also, how can trump’s approval rating not be in the 20s and teens by now????? I guess the cult members will never see the “light”🫤
Most polling is BS. If you ask people whether they support a Russian takeover, I bet it's 5% or less.
As has been the case, it really depends on who the pollster is, because increasingly it is obvious that the polls are showing truth to be inescapable even as the LIEs of "free eggs!" & "everything is better!" & " they're all paid protesters!" continue, the polls are showing that the people of this country are NOT happy with the direction we are being dragged.

The only exception would be if he declared he was stepping down.
What is this message? Why does it appear over and over?
Fake accounts, impersonating real account. Look for the incorrect @ names.
Spammer. Report and move on.
Tell them Ben! I can not believe what TV media has done! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
F' CBS. When I heard Rachel Maddow last night mention the almighty Meidas I felt like a mother when her child comes home with a "Best Student of the Month" badge! Love you guys! You have replaced the family that I have lost to the orange-turd regime! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too! My entire family bent the knee originally because of the party affiliation, but now, I think thry drank the Kool-aid!
I am 78, disabled and have leukemia. But, being alone is ok. I am a Midas Mighty!
It's not from them. I hope they can find the source and shut him down. What an asshole!
Time to send a message to cbs
Yes! We must put an end to any corporation turning against democracy.
If we can’t muster the STRENGTH to do something so simple after what our fathers and grandfathers did in WWII, then we don’t deserve to be free. Wake UP and fight back, America.
I love how corporate news can't figure out why you are beating them in the polls, it's because you tell us the truth. Thank you Meidas Touch.
100% ..... This why I do not watch main stream media.
I canceled my Paramount subscription yesterday and in the comment section I reiterated everything that you said Ben. I told him I was disappointed and that I would never watch CBS again.
My cable TV has been cancelled for years.........used the extra $$$$ to go founder at MTN.
I do subscribe to MeidasTouch! Love them!
I am confused. If CBS is merging with a left wing media, at least it is owned by David Ellison, a democrat supporter, then why are we so mad?
Because they’re bending the knee to Trump based on the 60 minutes interview, they did with Kamala Harris before the election. Trump was pissed off because one had showed her saying one thing and then another ad shoulder saying something different. It’s called editorial freedom and he is suing them because of that.
