Thank you for this determination to not let his life and service have been in vain. And thank you for your service, both yours and his....the hardest rank in the military is military wife. I don't know if you children but if you do you are an inspiration to them and for sure to all of us. Thank you!
He served in Desert Storm and Desert Shield before I met and married him. We didn't meet until 2015 and married in 2017. He had 2 children from his first wife and the daughter has 2 children. I have 3 children from my first marriage. I try to make sure I send the 2 grandchildren items from him. At some point, I will send all my husband's navy items to the grandson. My children and grandchildren all know how I am honoring their step dad and they truly appreciate what I am doing. Not so sure about my husband's children which is sad.
You will be in the front line with other veterans for sure............The time is coming when Orange Hitler will give the order for his Orange Wehrmacht to open fire on US citizens.
You must be there to tell them to throw down their weapons and refuse that order.
May his memory be a blessing, and an inspiration. We honor those who have passed by teaching others the good they did and proposing that we be like them.
If you were involved, engaged or married at the time your husband was in the service, then I thank you for your service, too. Military spouses don't get the recognition they deserve, IMHO. They sacrifice parts of their lives, too. They contribute to the community, uproot and move constantly, and keep things together while the spouse is deployed. My wife was a Military child and then Military wife. I sometimes think she had things worse than me.
So thanks to you continuing to serve your country.
This is heartbreaking 💔 ❤️🩹 that Americans have to wish each other “safety” in a land that used to be taken for granted “safe” before an OLD unhinged criminal took power with the help of rich 🤑 Republicans corruption!😢
All true. But when I get too depressed over this, I remind myself that there are categories of people for whom this country has NEVER been safe. They are still here. They fight on.
Agree. The problem we face is that many vets are now on the side of Dumpty. From law enforcement to the guard, as well as active duty. Infiltration of folks who side with MAGA has been going on for a while. Somehow, those who honor America will stand out from those who don't.
It was disheartening to learn how many vets and police officers were among the thugs Dumpty commanded on JAN6. One can only hope that eyes are opened and his supporters recognize he has no love for our military or law enforcement--or anybody else, for that matter. He called our soldiers losers, "What's in it for them?" he's been reported as saying.
He told his wives he would withhold all support if they permitted his children to serve. He also said he "Backed the Blue" despite pardoning those who harmed and in some cases hastened or caused the deaths of some of the Capitol Police. He refuses to honor their bravery on that horrendous day. He dishonors Gold Star families. He desecrated our flag and replaced our National Anthem with the JAN6 choir.
Does a leopard change its spots? No. Nothing he says can be trusted.
“… There is a video showing tanks rolling into Washington for a birthday parade. Celebrating the US Army’s 250th birthday - or is it Mr Trump’s idea of strength projection on his own birthday?
This is the kind of display we were accustomed to seeing during the Cold War. The Soviets would puff up their chests, roll out their tanks, missiles, thousands of soldiers, and march them around Red Square.
It was an exercise in puffery projection of pseudo strength, because we all know how the USSR turned out.
We never matched those parades in the United States. Not because we weren’t as strong, or stronger. Not because we couldn’t afford it. Not because it was too difficult.
We didn’t do it because there was no questioning the power and global reach of our Military — and because our greatest strength was our democracy.
Today, that democracy is under attack. The reputation of the Military is being impugned and politicized. Our National Security architecture is under immense strain. NATO is being weakened. Our allies question our support. Critical services for millions of Veterans are in danger.”
Read it again. There are no absolutes. Fact is the JAN6 thug crowd included vets, active duty, police officers, and other first responder professionals.
There are heroes and zeros in every profession, in every occupation—from A to Z. Just remember that a police officer’s legal, civil command is [not] a … suggestion.
My Veteran relatives fought so. I didnt have too Sign me up too please? For my triple great grandfather Angus McLeod! I learned he signed up just as he got off the ship arriving in Philly!
I agree re: recruiting more veterans (deep down, I believe they really know and understand). Especially after that disgusting beyond words display by the wannabe dictator at the military base yesterday - apparently much of the current active duty forces are still supportive of the fascist dictator and his regime (and now the traitor Confederacy too). They are pretty much full blown Nazi now. We the people still have overwhelming numbers though, and can win this, but it's going to be worse (and probably long and hard). This really truly breaks my heart, but I'm also a realist (and practical). Make real plans. Don't give up.
Great Idea! Hopefully, they have realised - What they were ordered to do in LA, was not just a terrible, unwarranted, Brutal VICIOUS, UNACCEPTABLE, DESPICABLE, WRONG HEADED! Thing to do! To innocent people! How can we ever trust you again? !
Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”
I'm hoping that there are Califorinia Congressional Republicans -- there are 9 of them-- that know the rationale for this -- danger of invasion by a foreign nation; there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States -- is BS and will step forward.
I’m not sure if you’re asking me if David Valadao is on the list, but he is. All House reps are listed and marked red for republicans if you want to call/email them asking your question and ask how they’re going to step up against the administration right now. Great thought to!
I saw that Valadao said he was concerned...much like Susan Collins...I doubt he will take any action. It's easy to say you are concerned as long as trump knows you will go along with whatever he does anyway. I do feel sorry for the Hispanics/Latinos who voted for him because they thought since he was one of them he'd fight for them. But then again, they knew he was a trumper so they should have known better. I feel a little different about folks who voted for Rubio...he had actually done something for Hispanics/Latinos before he became a trump toadie and they must feel really betrayed and confused. And scared.
Sadly I don't think even one will stand with the Democrats. They are all spineless and at best have a "concern" for what trump does but still support him 100% at the expense of the well being of the folks they were supposed to protect. And people will continue to vote for them.
Impeach tham all, JD, all the cabinet member... Let the Governors come to Washington and run things while congress is super busy with all those impeachments
Thank you for everything you do MeidasTouch. Also, thank you to all the independent reporting that is going on and telling the truth. No cover ups. No bending the knee to Satan. I pray that all of you stay safe.
After seeing what happened in LA, my biggest fear is that MAGA people (or worse, the proud boys) will be sent in to provoke peaceful protesters during the thousands of rallies and marches on June 14. We must all remember how effective Gandhi and MLK peaceful protests were; we cannot allow them to create a disturbance that would give a reason for Trump to send in the troops.
To read the words Gavin Newsom’s speech was presidential needs to be stamped on your banners,your tee shirts in fact on your hearts because dearest friends you have one hell of a fight on and I and my fellow Brits will stand with you…
Well Judy there is no other course of action I’m old enough to remember the horror stories that were taught to me as a child about Hitler and this vile US dictator is copying him …PS never give up US will win !
Fantastic job! The idea that Gavin Newsome was exclusively on your platform, and we had the opportunity to hear truth. I cannot stand looking at mainstream media. At 70, I choose to trust independent media.
Ironically mainstream media is showing snippets of the speech. I hope they understand why Newsom could not go to them directly. It's a strong message of where mainstream media stands & I hope your subscriptions skyrocket as a result.
Someone mentioned Heather Cox Richardson. Shes outstanding with a huge following. She's meeting the moment as a historian of this time as is Ron Filipkowski. It would be interesting to have them compare notes on how they compile their daily information on your show. I've listened to both on that topic, very interesting & greatly appreciated.
I never miss her daily recordings or his daily summary.
I think there should be a line of high profile people lined up outside your door Ben to do what Gavin Newsom just did . Trump lies about you or a situation, . Go tell everybody he's lying . On independent media where the folks fighting back hea r it. Expose him daily. As he lies and disrupts, daily. The MSM hides it all. Turn the tables on him. Make the news cycle a horror for him. EVERYDAY.
I agree about the immediate loud and clear response. I've sent a note to the DNC asking why they are not doing this. Maybe if we all contacted them we could either get an explanation (they can admit they don't have the guts?) or some genuine action. As far as I know it doesn't cost anything to go on MTN.
Yes Pat. I never got one response from any official. All these months. None. I'm out of ideas. This is my last one. If something doesn't give soon. I fear we are done.
IF I get a real person, I pretty much start my conversation by saying I don't expect them to answer and based on previous responses I don't believe what they say and I know they will only repeat what trump has told them to say. I did talk to a real person yesterday and asked her about the medicaid costs but she said she doesn't know anything about them, her only job is to help constituents with things like getting tours of the Capitol or other very specific constituent "needs" and there wasn't any one else in the office who knew anything about the budget bill. I will continue to call just to let them know not everyone approves of trump even though they don't care and they don't care about their constituents. But based on the conversation I had yesterday it seems they don't even keep a tally of what folks are calling about. I'm in a 99.9% red maga district and the Congressman has no need to do town halls, and if he did everyone would cheer him and tell him it's great he's cutting their food stamps and medicaid.
I watch KTLA news here in LA . I’d like to know how much they are being paid to air the Kristi Noem anti-immigrant commercials! Why aren’t they showing the full Newsom video?
Yes! I have not watched the news since the election. Because I live so close to LA I wanted to see what was going on live. KTLA was more focused on the burning Waymo cars!
I appreciate your needs, but in this moment, urgent calls need to be about urgent information. Respectfully, this does not read as a post designed for spreading urgent information.It reads similarly to the requests for donations that the DNC sends me “urgent” messages about daily.
What is urgent to me is having the information headline and also the details. Urgent to me is context and possibly next steps. Admittedly this is partly because of the DNC onslaught, but when information isn’t given more than the bullet point headlines, and it is paired with talking up the group giving me the incomplete info, I tend to feel used and as though the info is a means to the end of more money.
And while I respect the need for groups to have money to do their work, I get weary of being constantly asked to read urgent things that don’t actually speak to the urgency without pairing it with a request for support.
It’s a piece of capitalism that really gets under my skin.
I agree with you, Carrie. Also... California isn't the largest state, as is stated right at the beginning of this post lol. I'm sure it seems trivial to some but in my opinion don't scream "accurate and independent" and lead off with a literal inaccuracy.
Sorry if my comment came across funky, but I am in step with you. I meant I agree with you and on top of your point the writing itself is of poorer quality than what I would hold an organization like Meidas to as a standard. It's a chronic issue I have with MTN in general, the consistently mid-to-low writing presented.
I agree with the mission. The execution has room for improvement.
I’m so angry that California is being invaded by evil traitors who don’t love America or Americans because if they did they wouldn’t be following the evil traitor devil orders in the White House and his evil regime.Why can’t people just stand up to this demented lunatic. After everything he has done and now this nobody still not doing a damn thing or saying anything. This is truly going to get worse and worse people are going to start dying. It’s sounds bad but Trump said Biden was going to cause a war he is the one in our own country it is really sickening and disgusting how people on both sides not saying or doing anything. But thanks to the MeidasTouch we can count on them for the truth and say what is really going on and happening. Be Safe and Stay Strong Everyone 💯💪💯💪💯💪💯💪💯💙💙💙💙💪💯💪
Recruit military veterans to lead the protesters.
I will take my Veteran husband's place. He passed in July 2024.
So very sorry for your loss.
He is the love of my life. I will never stop loving him. Thank you. He was an honorable man.
And very obviously supported by a beautiful wife!
The smell of desperation is almost equal to the diaper wearing the man. One step closer to removal.
God bless him and you. Thank you I know your husband is looking down on you and proud you are leading. Be safe stay strong 💯💪💯💪💙
Thank you! I am sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss.

You do what you feel is right, Sylvia. No one can fault you for that. Wife of Vietnam Vet here. You have my utmost respect and sympathies.
Back at you. Whenever anyone would thank him for his service he would say it was his pleasure.
You will be in the front line with other veterans for sure............The time is coming when Orange Hitler will give the order for his Orange Wehrmacht to open fire on US citizens.
You must be there to tell them to throw down their weapons and refuse that order.
My sincere condolences to you. I’m sure that he would be proud for you to walk in his honor. 🫡🇺🇸
May his memory be a blessing, and an inspiration. We honor those who have passed by teaching others the good they did and proposing that we be like them.

So sorry for your loss. You are a hero. He’s looking down, and proud.✊🇺🇸😎
So sorry for your loss 💔RIP 🇺🇲
I'm so sorry. I will follow your lead and go for my Dad.
I honor your husband’s service, and will proudly stand beside you to raise the flag that he defended.
Exactly what needs to happen! I am a veteran and I will DEFINITELY be leading my fellow protesters! 🇺🇸💙
Thank you for your service and for leading. Be safe and stay strong 💯💪💙💪💯
You’re welcome ☺️ You be safe as well.

Does a leopard change its spots? No. Nothing he says can be trusted.
That isn’t necessarily true. There are Veterans for Peace.org
IAVA.org
Other veterans organizations that are many in membership and are for peace.
As previously stated — some, not all.
From: Maj Gen. Paul Eaton, U.S. Army (Ret)
“… There is a video showing tanks rolling into Washington for a birthday parade. Celebrating the US Army’s 250th birthday - or is it Mr Trump’s idea of strength projection on his own birthday?

Read it again. There are no absolutes. Fact is the JAN6 thug crowd included vets, active duty, police officers, and other first responder professionals.
Of course...there is one in every crowd. But I don't think the majority of vets are for him...now police, that's a different animal.
There are heroes and zeros in every profession, in every occupation—from A to Z. Just remember that a police officer’s legal, civil command is [not] a … suggestion.
My comment about police officers...diff animals, is that most support tRump unlike most vets who do not support him.
Yes...a police officer's command...like when J6ers ignored and attacked them. Then subsequently pardoned by the regime of "law and order".
My granddaughter is serving in the Airforce and she told me everyone in her unit hates the felon.
Thank her for her service!
My Veteran relatives fought so. I didnt have too Sign me up too please? For my triple great grandfather Angus McLeod! I learned he signed up just as he got off the ship arriving in Philly!

Yes!!
We have many veterans in our area joining the weekly Tesla Takedown demonstrations since the DOGE cuts and DOD actions started.
In our area too! My husband would do it but his PTSD from Vietnam is too great. He cannot stand crowds.
Veterans stand with the government. It's very obvious..
You believe what you want but I believe most Vets honor their oath to the constitution!
Isn’t that what happened in “Born on the Fourth of July”? Nam vets led protests.
EXCELLENT PLAN!!
Great Idea! Hopefully, they have realised - What they were ordered to do in LA, was not just a terrible, unwarranted, Brutal VICIOUS, UNACCEPTABLE, DESPICABLE, WRONG HEADED! Thing to do! To innocent people! How can we ever trust you again? !
Missed it live, but watched after and will share it.
And my normal comment -
Call. Write. Email. Protest peacefully. Unrelentingly.
Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

How about David G. Valadao?
I’m not sure if you’re asking me if David Valadao is on the list, but he is. All House reps are listed and marked red for republicans if you want to call/email them asking your question and ask how they’re going to step up against the administration right now. Great thought to!

There will be a trial in LA.
If he's called as a witness and sworn, hopefully he'd tell the truth.
Exactly!
How many house republicans are needed to form with Democrats a majority to impeach? 9?
Sadly I don't think even one will stand with the Democrats. They are all spineless and at best have a "concern" for what trump does but still support him 100% at the expense of the well being of the folks they were supposed to protect. And people will continue to vote for them.
Only 3 to get started. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/
It's not so much the actual impeachment, which would take like 4, it's the Senate removal, which takes 20. Then we have JD Vance.
Impeach tham all, JD, all the cabinet member... Let the Governors come to Washington and run things while congress is super busy with all those impeachments
You’re welcome! Thanks for speaking up right now!
Thank You, Megan!
Thank you for everything you do MeidasTouch. Also, thank you to all the independent reporting that is going on and telling the truth. No cover ups. No bending the knee to Satan. I pray that all of you stay safe.
Need to push the message to recruit veterans to lead peaceful protest marches and to protect protesters.
It was a fantastic speech that the Governor gave last night. Thank you for giving us that exclusive.
Proud to be a member of the Meidas Mighty.
Now let's go out this weekend to the No Kings Peaceful protests and all summer long!
Be safe out there.
After seeing what happened in LA, my biggest fear is that MAGA people (or worse, the proud boys) will be sent in to provoke peaceful protesters during the thousands of rallies and marches on June 14. We must all remember how effective Gandhi and MLK peaceful protests were; we cannot allow them to create a disturbance that would give a reason for Trump to send in the troops.
And the MAGA provokes will not be wearing red hats; they’ll try to provoke from within. Don’t let them!
Exactly
Appreciate the views and info here in Australia.
We care for you and support what you are doing.
Stay brave but smart folks. You’ve got this. ❤️💙
Thank you for your support. It means a lot to us.
Thank you for your support!
I have friends over there. This is wrong in anyone’s language.
This is a pivotal time in world history. People of freedom, empathy, and fairness can not ignore it, wherever they live.
❤️💙
To read the words Gavin Newsom’s speech was presidential needs to be stamped on your banners,your tee shirts in fact on your hearts because dearest friends you have one hell of a fight on and I and my fellow Brits will stand with you…

Really good and very powerful comments from speakers.

I don’t want to get into an argument but my point is sort of proven there. I’m not asking to be considered a journalism source.
And it also shows context is important. California is the largest state by population, though not by land mass.

I apologize too. I was reading this during a very small break at work and probably didn’t read it closely enough.
Lol. Literally. Don't scream when they are in your neighborhood.
