Yes. I’d like to keep up with that information from a sensible and qualified person as well. Rather than from someone who looks and sounds like they’re a walking/talking disease 🦠
Yes. That rfk Jr's strang person is mentally ill. And I believe he & the orange blob are trying to kill the regular people with his non-science potions! I bet the rich folks are getting vaccines & proper medical care.
I said to my husband. Only the rich will survive and be able to get abortions and vaccines, of course, all behind closed doors. They will get the best medical care that dirty money can buy. And, speaking of rfk, what happens when you don't get vaccinated? He looks like a monster.
I am more of an arts guy, but I hate the bullshit spread by pseudo scientists! I would rather spend an extra few minutes making sure I understood it, rather than make false assumptions! Thank you for your measured input! 😜🙏
I keep asking 🙏🏻 Meidas to interview European Journalists to start with.
The European Journalists can hook Meidas Touch Network up with European Leaders.
Ben says they are expanding, I HOPE they can get some European coverage.
In Ireland who are some good Journalists Meidas Touch could interview and feature their writing? If they have a Blue Sky account, kindly reply with their link.
I'm from a wee town called Limavady in Co.Derry right on the river Foyle. There's a ferry we can cross from Magilligan (15mins away from where I live) to cross the Foyle to Moville. It's lovely in the summer to go across on the ferry and have a few pints of the black stuff sitting out by the water
Wow, that’s funny. I thought Foyle was a lock. You’re saying it’s a river. Daniel and Mary Francis have a home that is next to it. He has a boat in the Foyle, but it’s old and not usable. But, they have a garden there as well, that he keeps planting. Nice to meet you. Our Duffy great grandparents , John and Rosie had a farm on Carrickquiey.
Hi Patti, I never asked you. Have you ever been over to visit Ireland? For me Donegal is what makes our country special. Where i live in the North of Ireland everything is hectic, life moves so fast. Once you cross the border from Derry to Donegal life seems to slow down, it's as if a weight has been lifted off you. In the North people passing you barely acknowledge you, but in the south(Even though Malin Head in Donegal is the most Northern Part of the Island) everyone waves, smiles, are just more friendly overall.
If you ever get a chance to visit you'll know what I mean as soon as you get there. If only the whole Island was made up of Donegal people we might never have had the problems we've had over the years.
At the mouth of the Foyle like any river that goes out to sea is called Lough, on the North side as it goes up through Co.Derry & South, Co.Donegal to Derry City it gets narrower to form the River Foyle.
Hi Ben. Chris here. My wife and I are in our 70s and work two jobs to make ends meet. I am a subscriber but haven’t been able to contribute anything. But just know we will when we can the mighty Midas is our best hope to keep Medicare and Social Security going so we can survive
Ben and MTN know so many like you are struggling. I have tears in my eyes. You don't have to contribute to be here. They and all of us are happy you are here and support you. .
I can imagine Chris🙏 I'm going to be 69 next month (went by in an instant) and I live alone but at least take comfort you have each other. And this entire community. I know it helps me to feel a part of something too. It's really amazing what Ben and his brothers have built.
I certainly understand that . I am a polio survivor that had this crippling disease come back and keep me in agony just after I turned 43 . I listen to Kennedy and I remember John F Kennedy , and Robert Kennedy , Rev. Martin Luther King , John Lewis etc . I find him and his thinking a disgraceful waste of time . How shameful that all of his ugliness comes out shaming the wonderful , powerful legacy of his family. He went to VP Harris when she was running for President and he wanted a part in her administration . She and Tim Walz said no ! Then he took himself to DJ Trump who is using Kennedy primarily for his name . But in retrospect , he fits in incredibly well , soth his constant BS and half assed decision making him fit in very well ! with the inept and cruel leadership of this administration . I hope he does not , cannot ruin our Nations future by dismissing the reality of protections made available by injections that normally keep us as well as our families safe ., I certainly would not put my health in jeopardy even more by following this guy . ..Liars fit in so well in this administration .
Hi Chris. I'm a 72-old Dane and I wish you Americans would look to our way of living and see the qualities in NOT having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, to NOT worry getting sick and fired because of the health care you might loose and NOT having to turn every penny in order to be able to send your children to college.
We in the Nordic countries are often accused of being "socialistic" or "communist" countries. We are NOT! BUT we value dearly to take care of each other so no one is left behind. We in the Nordic countries - in fact most of the northern European countries - pay a fairly high tax, but then we don't have to lie awake night after night worrying if we can pay the credit card bill or the rent or .......
And, btw, we NEVER worry about our children being shot at their desks at school because there are no guns here! And every single Dane has the opportunity of getting exactly the life they want. How many Americans can you say that about? How many Americans are dependent on economy or sports skills to go to college? Here, you just have to be average intelligent. Or diligent and hardworking. Or both.
For your sake I wish you would listen more to Bernie Sanders.
Hi Lone, thanks for your heartfelt message. I am well-versed on how northern European countries appreciate their citizens. I’ve been a supporter of Bernie Sanders for many years. I can tell you that at this point, my wife and I would be on a plane to your country in a heartbeat if we could afford it.
Please go heavy on mental health issues to help raise awareness about the members of this administration to show how what they are doing is not normal. Also it can help empower many of us who are struggling during this time. Please promote 988, the national crisis hotline and add it to any content in videos that discuss cuts to mental health care! We can all do our part by putting the 988 gif on social media posts in the comments section!
There was an article out of the UK , I think that concluded Trump was a sociopath. I think Elon is the sociopath and Trump is the psychopath. Both are Narcissists. All the rest of the posse seem to have Daddy issues. Elon included on that one.
💯. I have discussions on several substacks about this. So many of these tech nerds especially have been mentally and physically abused as children and have major emotional and mental problems and were probably bullied (I also include a lot of the young school shooters in this) and if they get rich and powerful, watch out.They will make.all of us pay for what that have suffered. I feel for them as children, but despise them.for the monsters they become. Revenge of the Nerds on steroids. Elon also has Mommy issues. What 53 year old "man" (and I use that term loosely) drags his mother everywhere? She's a major older "model" celebrity in China (figures). Her family were the absolute worst NAZIS..they moved from Canada to South Africa for apartheid. Elon was lost the day he was born and now we are living with the results. Zuck seemed to have had a loving, supportive family as did Bezos. They just became drunk with power and money. Trump and Elon are demented.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It takes a strong person to avoid the draw of power and money. None of those guys have that. I've watched them all. The only person in this mix who has always been who he is would be "t." "m" probably was always what he is, but the drugs has messed him up. Zuck and Bezos started out small, but when their bank accounts got to the point of having more money than they could spend and they could see how they could influence a whole slew of big things, I think it all went to their heads. I'm waiting for Zuck to move onto his next marriage - something the other three have in common.
Haha..as he looked down Lauren Sanchez's boobs at the Inauguration because she couldn't even put them away one day, not even for that. Priscilla didn't look too pleased. I always think of "The Social Network" with Zuck, but she is brilliant and a pediatrician and philanthropist too. I can't wrap my head around her being okay with any of this, especially with RFK.Jr. I see her more like a MacKenzie Scott Bezos who is doing just fine with her billions and just keeps giving it away. Or Melinda Gates. These are all smart, accomplished women and are better off without their exes. I'm not saying Lauren Sanchez is not smart. She pilots a helicopter. She's actually going to "space" for a little spin with Gayle King and a couple of others and that takes guts. I can barely get on a plane. Elon is a coward. He's never been in one of his rockets. That's why I always say the only "space" he is ever going to see is on a ketamine trip. He ain't making it to Mars.
Yes! In 2016, Dr. Kevin Dutton, a research psychologist at the University of Oxford, conducted a study using the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R), a standard psychometric tool, to assess psychopathic traits in various historical figures and then-U.S. presidential candidates, including Donald Trump. The study, published in Scientific American Mind, ranked Trump higher than Adolf Hitler on psychopathic traits, with Trump scoring 171 points and Hitler scoring 169.
Trump meets criteria for Narcissistic and Antisocial Personality Disorder.
I’d say Elon definitely meets criteria for NPD.
There is also the book called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, which I have yet to read- it’s a book written by 26 mental health professionals. I went to B&N yesterday to get it, but they said it has was an order to print type of book and it would take 3 weeks to ship it. Has anyone read it?
Check out Dr. Bandy Lee on Youtube. She is the leading psychiatrist who identified Trump's mental issues and was influential in writing the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump".
Trump will be thrilled! He's winning! He got better ratings than Hitler! 🏆
If you want.to read the 2nd book online it's available on archive.org. Just Google it. I don't want to link to it and.blow up their system. Yes, I've heard of it. Very well knkwn by Brandy X. Lee. People mention it a lot. There's an even newer updated version but I can't read any more about him. She may be on substack, I'm not sure.
I hear you, my friend, my emotions are up and down on a daily basis. Be sure to take some breaks. I met some good friends (Trump supporters, whom I love) I had not seen in a long while. It was so Good to Laugh. I forgot about politics for the most part. The only political thing I brought up was about my Social Security worries. My friend was not Trump gung-ho. He said he didn’t “think” we would lose our SS. He’s wealthy and has other income, but also collects SS. Hang in there. We are all with you
Thank you "Cats" and Sheryl. You're so sweet. I have well to do Trumper family.and we'te all on SS and Medicare too (my friends are liberal Dems. I was always centrist. Moderate. Now I'm loving Bernie Sanders and AOC!) who I love and can't give up. They voted for him fiscally 💰 I don't see them that often and we never discussed politics unless once in a.while they would throw in a.Dementia Joe crack or something the "illegals". Ugh.. No one could have expected Elon and DOGE. Trump is much more erratic and there are no adults in the room anywhere like 1.0. I appreciate the support. No one in my world wants to talk about it. 🙏
Mine either. People are pretty active/ supportive over on Aaron Parnas’s substack in the chat as well. I see people kind of do a “check in” post some days.
I don't even know what the chats or notes are but one day I commented to someone on a note (usually I get the email and go directly to the sub, but that day I must have been on the app and the home page) and it got restacked 130 times and I'm private so I couldn't believe it. I have subs to almost 30 substacks including Aaron so I am also overwhelmed by the emails and the videos and chats all day long. I'm losing control of my inbox. I haven't even watched my beloved Popok in a few weeks and Legal AF is starting its own substack. I subscribed but there are no posts yet.
But just when I have one foot out the window, I pull it back in and go to Andy Borowitz (The Borowitz Report). He is a seriously brilliant comedian/satirist/writer (TV shows and movies also) and you can get the short newsletter for free but you have to pay to to read and comment. Worth every dime to me. The comments are EVERYTHING. Pure comedy gold 😂 The other morning I woke up at 4:30 am because I couldn't sleep and he was one of the first of my first emails of day. I had to put a pillow over my mouth I was laughing so hysterically. I didn't want to wake my next door neighbor and that was before I even looked at a comment. It's just HIM. He can get thousands of comments. I wish I could write like that. That's my really happy place after doom scrolling.
Yes, I'm 67 and struggle daily not to give in to the terror of losing my SS. Or even gaps in receiving the payments. This is horrible what musk has been permitted to do to us.
Dr Vin Gupta you may recall was the face of information during Covid. He’s came on every night on TV. He’s a physician and medical analyst and affiliated with Unix of Washington. I just said this the other day that Dr Gupta was needed in this trine of medical
Disinformation!!! Great addition!! We should be doing this with every cabinet position and have a shadow cabinet to monitor what each are doing. Including foreign policy liaison. Any chance it’s already happening?
Hello from A UK subscriber – I find it so energising and reassuring to see this network growing in It’s influence.
For me, I find it more powerful when the focus is on the facts of the fight as opposed to the focus on adding subscribers and beating your right wing rivals. Having tried to build subscriber bases for various things myself I know how easy it is to get sucked into focusing on the numbers - and obviously the achievement itself is extraordinary when you consider the resources of the people you are up against but, as I say, personally I find the focus on comparison can become a little empty in feeling if that makes sense - especially when there is so much to talk about which feels urgent and important happening every day - and your ability to call it out at scale so vital! Just saying…
When a psychopath who surrounds himself with “yes persons” and only gets fed untruths and propaganda to please him, this is what you get. He’s not listening to some advisors though. I read Susie Wiles told him to fire Mike Waltz but refused. Also was told to limit some tariffs but instead is going full steam ahead. The man is an out of control lunatic whose delusions of grandeur are bringing this country down. Needs a straitjacket not an”atta boy”!!
I missed both things. I have been thinking all along that there is probably some dignity left in some of the people he has surrounded himself with. They, of course if they cross swords too often with him, will be FIRED.
Also read that Waltz was suspected of leaking information as he had that reporter's telephone number. Interested to see if that is followed up.
Susie Wiles is the one who banished Elon from the White House when he thought he was getting an office there. She sent him across the street to the Eisenhower Building (think that's the name). The heads are going to start rolling. What scares me is who will replace them. Of course he won't fire Mike Waltz (yet) because it would show that he was wrong and made a fool of himself defending him. Can't have the Tangerine Tyrant mocked. Absolutely, he is becoming more erratic and unhinged daily. No family that loves him. A wife who is pay-for-play who is probably on her knees (her favorite position..That's how she landed a billionaire in the first place) praying every night for him to die so she can collect her big payday. The 3rd term "Not joking.We have a few ways" is for JD Vance to run, win, then turn the Presidency back to him. 😂😂😂😂😂 This is what Putin did before he became Dictator for life. JD Vance isn't giving anything up. This is what they have been planning behind his back from.Day 1.
What Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic (Pulitzer Prize NOW🏆) exposed was how careless this cavalcade of cretins are with our safety, our country, and the disdain they have for our allies and for us. It also exposed that JD Vance would go against Trump. He is one 🍔🍟 away from.the Presidency. And his friend Steve "President Putin is a great guy" Witkoff. How's the negotiations going Steve? Haven't seen another hostage. Haven't seen a cease fire in Ukraine. And when they deflected and denied Jeffrey Goldberg and called him a liar...guess what? He just released everything except for the name of one CIA agent. Don't fuck with people who still have honor and who have the receipts. Trump was caught (again) looking clueless, dazed and confused. Rats jumping from a sinking ship. The "Wizard of Oz" is being exposed for the demented Dictator he is. I vacillate between despair and longing for comeuppance.
So glad you’re adding the Meidas Health feature so people can hear about actual science instead of RFK Jr’s quackery.
Yes. I’d like to keep up with that information from a sensible and qualified person as well. Rather than from someone who looks and sounds like they’re a walking/talking disease 🦠
Great description of him.
Yes indeed! This is great news! Thanks for fighting for the people!
Yes. That rfk Jr's strang person is mentally ill. And I believe he & the orange blob are trying to kill the regular people with his non-science potions! I bet the rich folks are getting vaccines & proper medical care.
I said to my husband. Only the rich will survive and be able to get abortions and vaccines, of course, all behind closed doors. They will get the best medical care that dirty money can buy. And, speaking of rfk, what happens when you don't get vaccinated? He looks like a monster.
I am more of an arts guy, but I hate the bullshit spread by pseudo scientists! I would rather spend an extra few minutes making sure I understood it, rather than make false assumptions! Thank you for your measured input! 😜🙏
Keep up the good work Ben, paid sub here in Ireland 🇮🇪

Older than who? I’m 80.😀
82 here. Never underestimate the gray hairs, many of us were around to protest quite a few things.
You mean The Gray Panthers.
😂 Love it!
That's not old! You're just starting!
Love to hear from you. My cousin is in Movile, Donegal, at Loch Foyle. Where are you?
I'm from a wee town called Limavady in Co.Derry right on the river Foyle. There's a ferry we can cross from Magilligan (15mins away from where I live) to cross the Foyle to Moville. It's lovely in the summer to go across on the ferry and have a few pints of the black stuff sitting out by the water
Wow, that’s funny. I thought Foyle was a lock. You’re saying it’s a river. Daniel and Mary Francis have a home that is next to it. He has a boat in the Foyle, but it’s old and not usable. But, they have a garden there as well, that he keeps planting. Nice to meet you. Our Duffy great grandparents , John and Rosie had a farm on Carrickquiey.
Hi Patti, I never asked you. Have you ever been over to visit Ireland? For me Donegal is what makes our country special. Where i live in the North of Ireland everything is hectic, life moves so fast.

If you ever get a chance to visit you'll know what I mean as soon as you get there. If only the whole Island was made up of Donegal people we might never have had the problems we've had over the years.
At the mouth of the Foyle like any river that goes out to sea is called Lough, on the North side as it goes up through Co.Derry & South, Co.Donegal to Derry City it gets narrower to form the River Foyle.

Thank you Dear Johnny...you Maple Meidas Mighty! I love Canada. Hope Canada will let us good people from the US in!
You are never alone on the MTN :)
Thanks to you all especially Robin. Feeling much better.

It is absolutely frightening , how many more of these degenerates are in this administration.

Great. I'm glad I could help! This way you can take a look and see if it's worth you ordering the updated copy.

Funny and spot on
I'm going to use your "posse" description 👍! 😊
Thank you. I am personally struggling emotionally right now. It's a daily onslaught.
Building community and finding support is one of the most helpful things you can do right now.
I hear you, my friend, my emotions are up and down on a daily basis. Be sure to take some breaks. I met some good friends (Trump supporters, whom I love) I had not seen in a long while.

I think we all need a little reality happy place from all of this ... I won't even say.
Yes, I'm 67 and struggle daily not to give in to the terror of losing my SS. Or even gaps in receiving the payments. This is horrible what musk has been permitted to do to us.
Love the addition of Medias Health! Thank you so much for the work you are doing .
Love the new concept of medical information segments. Much needed to counteract the lunacy from RFKJr. Thank you!
Dr Vin Gupta you may recall was the face of information during Covid. He’s came on every night on TV. He’s a physician and medical analyst and affiliated with Unix of Washington. I just said this the other day that Dr Gupta was needed in this trine of medical
Disinformation!!! Great addition!! We should be doing this with every cabinet position and have a shadow cabinet to monitor what each are doing. Including foreign policy liaison. Any chance it’s already happening?
Yes! He’s great. I’m very excited about this and fully agree with your comment about a shadow cabinet. Maybe this is the start 🤞🏻
Democracy Rules! You got this Meidas Mighty 🇨🇦🫶🏼
Rollll baby roll..
THE KILLER WAIL failed again!!!
You GO, MT!!!
Hello from A UK subscriber – I find it so energising and reassuring to see this network growing in It’s influence.
For me, I find it more powerful when the focus is on the facts of the fight as opposed to the focus on adding subscribers and beating your right wing rivals. Having tried to build subscriber bases for various things myself I know how easy it is to get sucked into focusing on the numbers - and obviously the achievement itself is extraordinary when you consider the resources of the people you are up against but, as I say, personally I find the focus on comparison can become a little empty in feeling if that makes sense - especially when there is so much to talk about which feels urgent and important happening every day - and your ability to call it out at scale so vital! Just saying…
I agree. I'd rather not get a subscriber update so frequently. I just want to hear what is happening to defeat the dumpster.
Well Trump got 1 thing correct. jobs are growing for independent media . Thank you Meidas for all your excellent content from a Maple Meidas
Keep up the good Work the Meidas Trio

This makes me so very happy!!! Let’s keep it going Meidas Mighty💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I support all you are doing to rid us of this tyrant. I’m sick of Trump sitting in my head every day like a malignant tumor. I want him expunged!
Now his claiming that a lot of people would like him to do a third term! What delusional rubbish.
When a psychopath who surrounds himself with “yes persons” and only gets fed untruths and propaganda to please him, this is what you get. He’s not listening to some advisors though. I read Susie Wiles told him to fire Mike Waltz but refused. Also was told to limit some tariffs but instead is going full steam ahead. The man is an out of control lunatic whose delusions of grandeur are bringing this country down. Needs a straitjacket not an”atta boy”!!
I missed both things. I have been thinking all along that there is probably some dignity left in some of the people he has surrounded himself with. They, of course if they cross swords too often with him, will be FIRED.
Also read that Waltz was suspected of leaking information as he had that reporter's telephone number. Interested to see if that is followed up.
Susie Wiles is the one who banished Elon from the White House when he thought he was getting an office there. She sent him across the street to the Eisenhower Building (think that's the name). The heads are going to start rolling. What scares me is who will replace them. Of course he won't fire Mike Waltz (yet) because it would show that he was wrong and made a fool of himself defending him. Can't have the Tangerine Tyrant mocked. Absolutely, he is becoming more erratic and unhinged daily. No family that loves him. A wife who is pay-for-play who is probably on her knees (her favorite position..That's how she landed a billionaire in the first place) praying every night for him to die so she can collect her big payday. The 3rd term "Not joking.We have a few ways" is for JD Vance to run, win, then turn the Presidency back to him. 😂😂😂😂😂 This is what Putin did before he became Dictator for life. JD Vance isn't giving anything up. This is what they have been planning behind his back from.Day 1.
What Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic (Pulitzer Prize NOW🏆) exposed was how careless this cavalcade of cretins are with our safety, our country, and the disdain they have for our allies and for us. It also exposed that JD Vance would go against Trump. He is one 🍔🍟 away from.the Presidency. And his friend Steve "President Putin is a great guy" Witkoff. How's the negotiations going Steve? Haven't seen another hostage. Haven't seen a cease fire in Ukraine. And when they deflected and denied Jeffrey Goldberg and called him a liar...guess what? He just released everything except for the name of one CIA agent. Don't fuck with people who still have honor and who have the receipts. Trump was caught (again) looking clueless, dazed and confused. Rats jumping from a sinking ship. The "Wizard of Oz" is being exposed for the demented Dictator he is. I vacillate between despair and longing for comeuppance.
