In recent days Charlie Kirk had been calling for the release of the Epstein files. Whenever Trump tries to weaponize Charlie’s murder the media (including Substack) should ask if Trump will honor Charlie’s request and release the files.
That is an exceptionally good idea! We could introduce such a law honoring a MAGA hero and the trump supporters will have to vote for it or face being disloyal. Hey, at least it is worth trying.🥴
I do think a bill to embarrass Congressional MAGAts is a fine idea but we've seen them vote down hundreds of bills, SHAMELESSLY, just to keep in lockstep with Dear Leader. Because I think ol' Charlie died because he was digging up the Epstein files--and because his psycho appeal to weird, violent people made him a potential rival to the aging Big Orange Cheese.
I don't think that will get much traction because in April 2023 Charlie Kirk stated, not for the first time, that he believed it was worth having "a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights". I just don't see the Republicans voting on gun control. But - I could be wrong.
Got it! But seriously, Nancy Mace has already said that she is going to start carrying a gun, so I guess our streets are going to be safer now! (yes - I'm definitely being sarcastic)
I don't want to sound mean, but it's almost as if this was a self-fulfilling prophesy on his part. That he truly became a martyr for his beliefs. How ironic.
It's just performative. But it might embarrass a few of them. And we ONLY NEED ABOUT 10 repubs to switch to "independent" and caucus with Democrats to get Rump out of office.
Unfortunately then we have to deal with Vance. He's Peter Thiel's puppy. Thiel doesn't believe that freedom and democracy can coexhist, so, I don't know who is worse.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a no-confidence vote, like other countries do when they want to force a prime minister to resign or trigger a general election?
And since the killer made him a martyr, those words are like gold now to his followers. I don't understand how children getting "hurt" by the vaccines is a must-stop vaccines regardless of consequences, but saying that guns are the number one killer of children leads to threats on your life, practically for saying we need to come together to have conversations about gun safety.
I actually think that's a great idea, especially since Kirk said a few gun deaths were fine. It could be worded so that the GOP has to say we need gun control so our heroes like Charlie Kirk won't get gunned down, or they have to go on record to say it's fine Charlie Kirk got gunned down as long as we can keep our assault rifles and guns. They'd have to go for the latter because even Kirk said a few gun deaths are fine, but then they would also have to quit whining about his being shot...it's what he said was fine.
I’m so confused, they found the gun in the woods, wrapped in a towel, why don’t we see it when he goes up the stairs, jumps off the roof, Walks brazenly across the grass? I mean I have looked and looked it doesn’t fit in a backpack? Please somebody tell me they see a rifle on this guy? Otherwise they really do think we are stupid! I dislike that I can’t trust the MSM or the leaders anymore! My neighbor watches MSNBC we take care of her, I’ve seen the footage more times than I can count but what I don’t get is where is the rifle? He chucked it to the woods? I’m perplexed! Not really I think I know why, but honestly this is bad and Trump just goes on Fox and Friends with one of his monologues first thing to report in custody, sorry I smell a rat 🐀
I asked about this and was told some rifle models can be manually assembled/disassembled 🤷♀️ A “takedown” that slides into the stock for backpacking while hunting-
I heard WSJ is in big trouble for that reporting -but I am sorry - I’m not buying any of this! I didn’t like Kirk at all but Unalive is too much- the more I listened to him I realized he was indoctrinating the Youth and some saw this as A Christian Act? I really despise when people use the Bible and Religion to manipulate but I suppose that was the whole purpose of many religions, Control the masses, obviously we need to be controlled in some cases, I mean Look are this mess in the USA -still God or Your Higher Power is in your heart , very personal, whatever you believe I’m nobody to judge but I think we can all agree it’s really upsetting to see people manipulated by someone at any time. This is Just how I saw his rhetoric still don’t wish him unalive I just want to be an accepting and loving America again, and yes I blame our leaders for a lot of this hatred because they are hateful
Sorry. It was very clear in my mind, although now overtaken by events. I was referring to the kid who supposedly tried to kill the future president at that rally awhile back; another event requiring precision sharp-shooting, and beneficial to the now president. Of course, this is mere supposition on my part.
Yes they believe that each and every person on earth must have to be a STUPID as they are. Since we’re on the other side we cannot be discounted. Those on the right are in fact just that STUPID. They don’t know what good for them, yet they claim they know what good for us. They haven’t a chance at winning against the power of the people. Unless they lie cheat and steal. Their incredibly hypocritical and relentlessly obtuse.
Perhaps Trump punched CK's ticket because CK pushed for Epstein's full disclosure. Who killed Epstein in jail? I believe Trump is the panicked old fat pedo doing all the crazy shit he can to avoid going to the slammer as a child rapist.
I think you are on the right track. I, too, believe trump is involved because of the Epstein files and the fact that Charlie Kirk wanted full disclosure of them. He'll do anything illegal to keep from going to prison.
Trump's wife fell down stairs and is now buried on his golf course so he could get tax cuts as if it were a cemetery. This man is ruthless. Her grave site is now overgrown with weeds and grass.
It’s a kid who went down the Nick Fuentes Groyper rabbit hole. Nick Fuentes did not like Charlie Kirk, while he did not say he should die, he thought Charlie Kirk was a moderate and traitor to the hard core, multi layered hatred of all MAGA. They are all nuts and if anyone should not have access or the right to bear arms it is these extremist groups!
BTW the senate refused to order DOJ to produce the files. 51-49. Hawley and Paul voted with the Dems. Murkowski and Collins could have made the difference. IMHO they're scared shitless.
Schumer brought an amendment directing Bondi to release all Epstein-related files, but Republicans voted to table it.
"A cache of more than 16,000 emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s private Yahoo account paints a complex, and in many instances chilling portrait of a man whose enigmatic nature has only deepened since his death. The emails reveal Epstein’s unfiltered worries, odd sense of humor, and callousness toward the coterie of young women, many of them teenagers, who entered his world. The emails do the impossible: They bring Epstein back to life. Bloomberg's Ava Benny Morrison reports.
Names mentioned in Bloomberg's reporting
Ghislaine Maxwell: Epstein's accomplice and a frequent contact in the emails.
Donald Trump: The emails contain references to Trump. In one email from 2006, Epstein instructed Maxwell to "remove trump" from a list she sent him.
Bill Clinton: Email exchanges indicate Maxwell met with "Clinton" multiple times between 2006 and 2008. Maxwell also used the Clinton Global Initiative to promote her ocean conservation nonprofit.
Peter Mandelson: The former British ambassador to the U.S. corresponded with Epstein in 2005 about arranging travel to his private island. Following the release of the emails, Mandelson was fired.
Jes Staley: Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley is mentioned in relation to a 2015 email exchange where Epstein attempted to use his connection with Staley for a potential business deal. Staley previously denied having a personal relationship with Epstein.
Jimmy Cayne: Former CEO of Bear Stearns, mentioned on a list alongside Trump and Staley in a 2006 email.
Ariane de Rothschild: CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Holding SA, was in contact with Epstein. An email from Epstein suggested a possible business arrangement involving Staley.
Doug Band: A former aide to Bill Clinton. He received gifts from Epstein, including a $35,000 watch.
Sergey Brin: The tech billionaire is mentioned in the emails.
Context for other names associated with Epstein
While the following names were not revealed in the recent Bloomberg email cache, they have been mentioned in other court documents and legal proceedings related to Epstein.
Prince Andrew: Associated with Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell.
Alan Dershowitz: The Harvard law professor was named in lawsuits against Epstein.
Leslie Wexner: The billionaire founder of L Brands was a close associate of Epstein.
Glenn Dubin: A billionaire hedge fund manager whose wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, was a witness in Ghislaine Maxwell's trial.
Jean-Luc Brunel: The former model scout was associated with Epstein.
You are correct. If there are 49 democrats and you add 2 republican votes, it would indeed make 51. This would make the vote 51 - 49 in the other direction. Presuming all voted. I would need the roll call vote to break it down further, and I haven't had enough coffee yet for that....
Note: This total includes Senator-elect James Justice of West Virginia, who chose to delay his swearing-in to January 14, 2025, to complete his term as governor. With the resignation of JD Vance effective January 10, 2025, Ohio's Class 3 seat remains temporarily vacant.
If so then could it be that trump wanted to get rid of him - and at the same time create a huge distraction from the Epstein thing that refuses to go away ??? I do not discount anything when trump is fighting for his life !
Charlie abruptly changed his tune in recent days and shut up about releasing the files, from what I had read just a couple of weeks ago. Chump never forgets though, so it may be another reason for Charlie to "be gone"
I appreciate you and all of MTN please be safe and I am so disappointed in Susan Collins. She knows better, Why is she is so scared of Trump. She obviously is putting herself ahead of her constituents and that is unacceptable. I am deeply concerned about her yes, I am being sarcastic.
Is she scared? Maybe as she has dug herself deep into a mobster world, a primary enabler of its move to power. Or is she playing her unique game of innocent moderate me?
Seems to me if you ask any Republican about what this means about gun reform, Epstein or any number of unhinged MAGA doings these days, you get fired, reprimanded, chastised, made to feel like your the problem for asking a legitimate question. I for one am just sick of the pathetic spin Republicans put on problems they alone are guilty of causing and yes “RELEASE THE DAMN FILES ALREADY “!
David Clay Johnston states that DJTrump is the best con-man he has ever met. Cankes narcissism is unparallelled. He has successfully gaslit 77 million people into brainwashed Orange pawns and trama bonded them with dopamine injections that have made them cocaine addicts. Beware that Narcs going into old age and facing death give no mercy to anyone.
Not entirely convinced that it wasn’t trumps people who took out Kirk. He seem to make his friend disappear once they turn on him in the slightest of ways. FUDJT
Or maybe Trump had Kirk taken out because of calling for the files release and this also created a distraction from the media talking and child rapist trump. Nothing in his playbook had been working so throws a bomb into and poof all the bullshit praising for some little neo-Nazi pos.
I did not know that.....adds credence to the conspiracy theory (that I don't think has any credibility but makes sense) that the trump regime was behind the assignation.
Just discovered that frump is changing the name of Portland (Oregon) to POOP. Changing all maps, signage, etc. He is such a childish, immature piece of POOP!!!
Thank you, Ben. The MeidasTouch Network has become a daily touchstone for me. I appreciate all that you, your brothers, and the rest of the MTN contributors provide. You all help keep me sane. I'm grateful.
If Mike Johnson says “why won’t they just yield to Donald Trump.” I say why won’t they just stand up to him? I suspect that Stephen Miller is really pushing a lot of this and Cockwomble is letting him run rampant.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Cockwomble = Destruction for ALL With His Revenge Presidency Republicans = Murderers
RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES
Release Kilmar Abrego Garcia and quit using him as a political ploy
So while we want to know what lay behind Kirk’s assassination, the important story right now is Trump’s intent to use the killing to incite violence against anyone who stands in his way.
Reportedly a suspect now in custody. I wonder if they'll torture him to confess? That's something I shouldn't have to worry about in my America. In their America, I am forced to consider the possiblity.
There's been many a man, a boy even, forced to plead guilty after hours and hours of brow beating. This time, done by none other than Kash Patel's FBI. Remember the Central Park 5?
Love you all! I am a disabled, 78 year old female with cancer. The monthly cost for my meds is more than $18,000.00, I wish I could donate a billion as Elon did for the lump, but...wishes do not pay the bills.
I live in fear of maga fucking with my medicare and Social security the most. But, I am so sick of his hate and fear campaign.
I saw my ophthalmologist yesterday and said I was wondering how my Medicare was going to change (cuts) next year and haven't seen any correspondence from my plan yet. He was totally surprised that there were expected cuts coming ( must be a republican)!! Now he knows.
I am 79 with unrelenting pain from x7 spinal surgeries and cord damage. I have no family live rural with zero options to socialize. However I was an OR RN for 20 years before having a work injury. Was working in Australia on a Resident Alien Visa. Free Healthcare. Also compensated by the NSW government that paid my college education in BBA in Data Management. Returned USA to care for my mother. Worked in Vaccine Clinical Research. But repeat injuries and other events. Read my story. Now alone bankrupt. My only companion my 13 yo dog is sick. Can't get her to a vet. Because I got educated had good jobs I have health insurance make too much money (that's a joke) so I don't qualify for any low income services. But had to declare bankruptcy because of medical and other factors. We both are living stressful unsatisfying lives. Feel very disposable. Wish you better days. My brain still works and I will keep up resisting this current regime. Thanks to MTN.
I shall pray for you. Sister! I am not a Bible thumper by any definition and I know the Bible was Vatican propaganda from 2000 + years ago. I just have always known there us a God and he lives all of us. Except, maybe, Netanyahu! HA!.
If you have a computer search for a 'Council on Aging' here it is Oima County Council on Aging. Call the nearest public library and ask where to find help for yourself and your dog.
The local Catholic churches and dial 211. In most areas now that us a help line that gets you to a real human who has a list of volunteer vets. Drivers. Etc. You have worked too dam hard to not be able to find her when you need it.
We are too much alike, I was on the job abd involved in a situation that left me with a crushed lumbar spine. Ended up in such excruciating pain I couldn't ve still. For 8 years I received pain control meds. Then te doc just stopped. Was not even concerned about my withdrawal or anything, just sent me home. I was not addicted but when the pain came back in full force it took me down. I stopped driving and donated my car to the VA .
I just discovered I have something calleda "red head gene". My dna gives me the ability to bear great pain and also resist influences from drugs ir alcohol. So, that is why I didn't have withdrawal after 8 years of opiates. Bad part is. I think docs are punished nowadays for giving opiates to seniors. I don't wanna live the rest of my life in this pain so I am searching for a pain management clinic that will try everything else, know what the red head gene means and give me drugs if nothing else works. I am not a drug seeking old lady because I have never been high, I am not searching for a high, just pain relief.
Please, wait till Tuesday to start your calls for aid, because they are swamped on weekends and Mondays.
Try the 211 anytime!
Bless you and keep me in the loop. What state are you in?
My local Consel on Aging is useless. Don't offer transport services. Local Transportation Authority has a program. However it is so unreliable as to be useless as well. I like most with conditions that cause chronic pain do not sleep well. Since this recent exacerbation been averaging 3.5 hours in divided times. My internal clock makes me an evening person. Can't fall asleep before 2- 3 AM. Not functional until past noon. I always schedule my appointments after 2PM so I don't hurt myself trying to get ready. Because of staffing the Transportation service won't accept pickups at or after 2 PM.
Just paid a Home Health Agency $143 to drive me to a follow up appointment with the Neurosurgeon who did my last 4 level decompression surgery in 11/2021. Uber and Lyft cost even more. Decided having the male who is the driver and owner there so he could get the wheeled push chair device I thought I might need. Got him to take my trash to the crub also. That was helpful.
Neurosurgeon agreed with my assessment of the current increase in pain which is in the sacral dermatome distribution is not coming from my other spinal conditions. I have always thought the various degrees of pain problems which have always been present are related to laproscopic hernia repairs on both sides. The left side continued to be painful even after a repeat surgery that cut all the adhesions that formed. This is a nerve entrapment crushing pain. At it worse it feels like someone is cutting me through the groin into my buttocks and perineum. This is like immediate post op surgery pain treated with fentanyl. So I had previously through much aggravation got my PCP to give me referrals to OG-GYN, Gastroenterology, Neurology and Rheumatogy. Problem is no No Neurology or Rheumatologist within local area. 1.5 hour drive to get to them.
Anyway got a OB visit scheduled for 10/20/25 to rule out pelvic floor damage. But still have to lay around in bed most of day in pain because of the crazy restriction the Pain Management doctor is under and won't or can't prescribe additional medications that would keep me mobile. You take care too. Stay in touch.
Thank you Ben and company. With you and your team, so much of this important information would go unreported. The media limits details or doesn’t cover things at all. We love the highly informed at the Meidas Mighty.
Thank u, Ben and MTN. We need voices like you and others in this platform. The enemy is tough and it is draining my energy … but I think of my kids and their future. Seems like it’s the start of doomsday for them.
The votes by Collins and Murkowski are the classic benchmark examples of my experience and belief that it does no good to “contact your Senators and Congressional Representatives in Congress.” This is not “ a government of the people and by the people and for the people….”
I think it still does good to contact them to make them at the very least look bad when it is discovered that the majority of their constituents did not sanction their voting. We should all keep doing it. Keep those calls/faxes, emails, and letters going in and piling up. Numbers matter.
I know this post was like 2 hours ago. But the perpetrator was caught. His father told him to turn himself in. As per Aaron Parnas reporting. We shall see who this guy really is. And also we can not trust anything the DOJ or FBI under this regime says. Because they are not to be trusted. They talk out of their ass. And lie as easy as breathing. So. To be continued.
Someone posted on Facebook that the Democrats should put forward The Charlie Kirk Gun Control Safety Act and dare Republicans to vote against it. I think that's a great idea.
In recent days Charlie Kirk had been calling for the release of the Epstein files. Whenever Trump tries to weaponize Charlie’s murder the media (including Substack) should ask if Trump will honor Charlie’s request and release the files.
And in his name introduce and pass gun laws!
That is an exceptionally good idea! We could introduce such a law honoring a MAGA hero and the trump supporters will have to vote for it or face being disloyal. Hey, at least it is worth trying.🥴
2 chances of that: slim and none.
But it would be fun to see their counter arguments. It would also weaken their accusations of how the Democrats are the violent ones.
Nobody with an IQ higher than room temp believes Democrats are offering violence.
And yet many of them are voters, who need to be persuaded to embrace the 'light' as opposed to the 'dark side'.
I know, but one can dream.
I do think a bill to embarrass Congressional MAGAts is a fine idea but we've seen them vote down hundreds of bills, SHAMELESSLY, just to keep in lockstep with Dear Leader. Because I think ol' Charlie died because he was digging up the Epstein files--and because his psycho appeal to weird, violent people made him a potential rival to the aging Big Orange Cheese.

I just don't see the Republicans voting on gun control. But - I could be wrong.
I was being facetious. Republicans have thwarted all progress on gun laws! It would be interesting to see how they would react though😉
Got it! But seriously, Nancy Mace has already said that she is going to start carrying a gun, so I guess our streets are going to be safer now! (yes - I'm definitely being sarcastic)
Just carry mace, Nancy. Good grief!
LMAO. Good one!
Yeah. I saw that too. I just really want to know what those “god-given rights “ are.
Ditto!
Call it the Charlie Kirk anti-karma gun law.
I don't want to sound mean, but it's almost as if this was a self-fulfilling prophesy on his part. That he truly became a martyr for his beliefs. How ironic.
It's just performative. But it might embarrass a few of them. And we ONLY NEED ABOUT 10 repubs to switch to "independent" and caucus with Democrats to get Rump out of office.
Unfortunately then we have to deal with Vance. He's Peter Thiel's puppy. Thiel doesn't believe that freedom and democracy can coexhist, so, I don't know who is worse.
We need to get Congress back. With enough blue votes to impeach and remove Rump and his seditionist cabinet.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a no-confidence vote, like other countries do when they want to force a prime minister to resign or trigger a general election?
And since the killer made him a martyr, those words are like gold now to his followers.

Yep!
I like your logic!!!
true
This is likely why he’s unalive
I’m so confused, they found the gun in the woods, wrapped in a towel, why don’t we see it when he goes up the stairs, jumps off the roof, Walks brazenly across the grass? I mean I have looked and looked it doesn’t fit in a backpack? Please somebody tell me they see a rifle on this guy? Otherwise they really do think we are stupid! I dislike that I can’t trust the MSM or the leaders anymore!

Not really I think I know why, but honestly this is bad and Trump just goes on Fox and Friends with one of his monologues first thing to report in custody, sorry I smell a rat 🐀
I woke up this morning thinking the same thing!
I wish I could just trust again!
Has 'source' of that video been identified? How in the world was that video captured?
I asked about this and was told some rifle models can be manually assembled/disassembled 🤷♀️ A “takedown” that slides into the stock for backpacking while hunting-
Thanks that makes sense but why did they find it in the woods -assembled I believe- together in a towel? I guess more will be revealed
Yes. How do we trust what we are hearing? Seems very deliberate, almost staged. WSJ reporting marked bullets?🤷♀️
I heard WSJ is in big trouble for that reporting -but I am sorry - I’m not buying any of this! I didn’t like Kirk at all but Unalive is too much- the more I listened to him I realized he was indoctrinating the Youth and some saw this as A Christian Act?

I kept looking for the gun too…. Maybe he placed it on top of the building prior to arriving at the scene.
Interesting point… the supposed rifle a maser m30 (30-06 caliber) is generally has a 44” overall length. The video does NOT show this
Mystic, I agree with you 💯☮️
I disagree. I smell a 🪴. And the kid ran faster this time.
Expound, please.
Sorry. It was very clear in my mind, although now overtaken by events. I was referring to the kid who supposedly tried to kill the future president at that rally awhile back; another event requiring precision sharp-shooting, and beneficial to the now president. Of course, this is mere supposition on my part.
Ya I don’t get it either but it’s probably bait!
Us too... we could not see any stick like object in his hands when he jumped down from the roof.
Your nose is working perfectly.
Yes they believe that each and every person on earth must have to be a STUPID as they are. Since we’re on the other side we cannot be discounted. Those on the right are in fact just that STUPID.

You're not alone.
He was at the university early morning and the theory is he hid it in advance.
Smells like a rat...walks like a rat...

Yes it fits his mo of being a mobster

Successful distraction, thanks to using the megaphone to explode Kirk
So...ask Trump...did Kirk want to open ALL the Epstein files?
maybe he did not, there may be something embarrassing
We have 49 dems. If 2 R senators voted with the Dems, it should have worked. Who were the two Ds who supported the Pedophile?
Check your math. Needed 4 R -- got 2.
You are correct. If there are 49 democrats and you add 2 republican votes, it would indeed make 51. This would make the vote 51 - 49 in the other direction. Presuming all voted. I would need the roll call vote to break it down further, and I haven't had enough coffee yet for that....
NOT 49 Democrats.
119th Congress (2025–2027)
Majority Party: Republicans (53 seats)
Minority Party: Democrats (45 seats)
Other Parties: 2 Independents
Total Seats: 100
Note: This total includes Senator-elect James Justice of West Virginia, who chose to delay his swearing-in to January 14, 2025, to complete his term as governor. With the resignation of JD Vance effective January 10, 2025, Ohio's Class 3 seat remains temporarily vacant.
If so then could it be that trump wanted to get rid of him - and at the same time create a huge distraction from the Epstein thing that refuses to go away ??? I do not discount anything when trump is fighting for his life !
Very Russian-Putin solution 🇷🇺
I agree, taco planned this murder, as he did with Epstein, and his first wife
He is poison to the entire world. The entire administration needs to be behind bars for all atrocities they have committed in just less than 8 months.
It's not even a year, we all have to keep pushing for the truth.
Charlie abruptly changed his tune in recent days and shut up about releasing the files, from what I had read just a couple of weeks ago. Chump never forgets though, so it may be another reason for Charlie to "be gone"
Found on YouTube, you are correct:

I appreciate you and all of MTN please be safe and I am so disappointed in Susan Collins. She knows better, Why is she is so scared of Trump. She obviously is putting herself ahead of her constituents and that is unacceptable. I am deeply concerned about her yes, I am being sarcastic.
Is she scared? Maybe as she has dug herself deep into a mobster world, a primary enabler of its move to power. Or is she playing her unique game of innocent moderate me?
She's very concerned that the photo of her dressed up in her dominatrix outfit (complete with stiletto heels, whip, and all) will get leaked.
Seems to me if you ask any Republican about what this means about gun reform, Epstein or any number of unhinged MAGA doings these days, you get fired, reprimanded, chastised, made to feel like your the problem for asking a legitimate question. I for one am just sick of the pathetic spin Republicans put on problems they alone are guilty of causing and yes “RELEASE THE DAMN FILES ALREADY “!
I love that idea! That's brilliant! Gone fishing with that! Thank you! 😊
David Clay Johnston states that DJTrump is the best con-man he has ever met. Cankes narcissism is unparallelled. He has successfully gaslit 77 million people into brainwashed Orange pawns and trama bonded them with dopamine injections that have made them cocaine addicts. Beware that Narcs going into old age and facing death give no mercy to anyone.
He's had demonic help along the way.
Yup....77 million Orange brainwashed maxi-pad cult members
Not entirely convinced that it wasn’t trumps people who took out Kirk. He seem to make his friend disappear once they turn on him in the slightest of ways. FUDJT
Or maybe Trump had Kirk taken out because of calling for the files release and this also created a distraction from the media talking and child rapist trump. Nothing in his playbook had been working so throws a bomb into and poof all the bullshit praising for some little neo-Nazi pos.
I did not know that.....adds credence to the conspiracy theory (that I don't think has any credibility but makes sense) that the trump regime was behind the assignation.
true
That would be great
The main stream media will do nothing but print the inflammatory press releases released by the tRump administration
Thank you for your tireless efforts
Agree !
Just discovered that frump is changing the name of Portland (Oregon) to POOP. Changing all maps, signage, etc. He is such a childish, immature piece of POOP!!!
Thank you, Ben. The MeidasTouch Network has become a daily touchstone for me. I appreciate all that you, your brothers, and the rest of the MTN contributors provide. You all help keep me sane. I'm grateful.
Forever grateful to you all
Im not a news person but I would love to work with you to build the network.
We need actual news for a change.
I need the truth.
I do not care who it implicates.
If Mike Johnson says “why won’t they just yield to Donald Trump.” I say why won’t they just stand up to him? I suspect that Stephen Miller is really pushing a lot of this and Cockwomble is letting him run rampant.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Cockwomble = Destruction for ALL With His Revenge Presidency Republicans = Murderers
RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES
Release Kilmar Abrego Garcia and quit using him as a political ploy
DUE PROCESS FOR EVERYONE
Some things are "always" wrong. Yielding to drumpf is always wrong.
Staying in the fight is the ONLY option👍

We don’t know who killed Charlie Kirk. We do know who’s trying to exploit his death.

So while we want to know what lay behind Kirk’s assassination, the important story right now is Trump’s intent to use the killing to incite violence against anyone who stands in his way.
We must not yield.
Reportedly a suspect now in custody. I wonder if they'll torture him to confess? That's something I shouldn't have to worry about in my America. In their America, I am forced to consider the possiblity.
There's been many a man, a boy even, forced to plead guilty after hours and hours of brow beating. This time, done by none other than Kash Patel's FBI. Remember the Central Park 5?
He confessed to his father. No torture needed.
Thank you for all your hard work!!!
Love you all! I am a disabled, 78 year old female with cancer. The monthly cost for my meds is more than $18,000.00, I wish I could donate a billion as Elon did for the lump, but...wishes do not pay the bills.
I live in fear of maga fucking with my medicare and Social security the most. But, I am so sick of his hate and fear campaign.
God bless Midas Touch.
Love you back, Barbara. I'm worried about SS and Medicare too. Best wishes, Friend.
I saw my ophthalmologist yesterday and said I was wondering how my Medicare was going to change (cuts) next year and haven't seen any correspondence from my plan yet. He was totally surprised that there were expected cuts coming ( must be a republican)!! Now he knows.
I am 79 with unrelenting pain from x7 spinal surgeries and cord damage. I have no family live rural with zero options to socialize. However I was an OR RN for 20 years before having a work injury. Was working in Australia on a Resident Alien Visa. Free Healthcare. Also compensated by the NSW government that paid my college education in BBA in Data Management. Returned USA to care for my mother. Worked in Vaccine Clinical Research. But repeat injuries and other events. Read my story. Now alone bankrupt. My only companion my 13 yo dog is sick. Can't get her to a vet. Because I got educated had good jobs I have health insurance make too much money (that's a joke) so I don't qualify for any low income services. But had to declare bankruptcy because of medical and other factors. We both are living stressful unsatisfying lives. Feel very disposable. Wish you better days. My brain still works and I will keep up resisting this current regime. Thanks to MTN.
I shall pray for you. Sister! I am not a Bible thumper by any definition and I know the Bible was Vatican propaganda from 2000 + years ago. I just have always known there us a God and he lives all of us. Except, maybe, Netanyahu! HA!.
If you have a computer search for a 'Council on Aging' here it is Oima County Council on Aging. Call the nearest public library and ask where to find help for yourself and your dog.
The local Catholic churches and dial 211. In most areas now that us a help line that gets you to a real human who has a list of volunteer vets. Drivers. Etc. You have worked too dam hard to not be able to find her when you need it.
We are too much alike, I was on the job abd involved in a situation that left me with a crushed lumbar spine. Ended up in such excruciating pain I couldn't ve still. For 8 years I received pain control meds. Then te doc just stopped. Was not even concerned about my withdrawal or anything, just sent me home. I was not addicted but when the pain came back in full force it took me down. I stopped driving and donated my car to the VA .
I just discovered I have something calleda "red head gene". My dna gives me the ability to bear great pain and also resist influences from drugs ir alcohol. So, that is why I didn't have withdrawal after 8 years of opiates. Bad part is. I think docs are punished nowadays for giving opiates to seniors. I don't wanna live the rest of my life in this pain so I am searching for a pain management clinic that will try everything else, know what the red head gene means and give me drugs if nothing else works. I am not a drug seeking old lady because I have never been high, I am not searching for a high, just pain relief.
Please, wait till Tuesday to start your calls for aid, because they are swamped on weekends and Mondays.
Try the 211 anytime!
Bless you and keep me in the loop. What state are you in?
My local Consel on Aging is useless. Don't offer transport services. Local Transportation Authority has a program. However it is so unreliable as to be useless as well. I like most with conditions that cause chronic pain do not sleep well. Since this recent exacerbation been averaging 3.5 hours in divided times. My internal clock makes me an evening person. Can't fall asleep before 2- 3 AM. Not functional until past noon. I always schedule my appointments after 2PM so I don't hurt myself trying to get ready. Because of staffing the Transportation service won't accept pickups at or after 2 PM.
Just paid a Home Health Agency $143 to drive me to a follow up appointment with the Neurosurgeon who did my last 4 level decompression surgery in 11/2021. Uber and Lyft cost even more. Decided having the male who is the driver and owner there so he could get the wheeled push chair device I thought I might need. Got him to take my trash to the crub also. That was helpful.
Neurosurgeon agreed with my assessment of the current increase in pain which is in the sacral dermatome distribution is not coming from my other spinal conditions. I have always thought the various degrees of pain problems which have always been present are related to laproscopic hernia repairs on both sides. The left side continued to be painful even after a repeat surgery that cut all the adhesions that formed. This is a nerve entrapment crushing pain. At it worse it feels like someone is cutting me through the groin into my buttocks and perineum. This is like immediate post op surgery pain treated with fentanyl. So I had previously through much aggravation got my PCP to give me referrals to OG-GYN, Gastroenterology, Neurology and Rheumatogy. Problem is no No Neurology or Rheumatologist within local area. 1.5 hour drive to get to them.
Anyway got a OB visit scheduled for 10/20/25 to rule out pelvic floor damage. But still have to lay around in bed most of day in pain because of the crazy restriction the Pain Management doctor is under and won't or can't prescribe additional medications that would keep me mobile. You take care too. Stay in touch.
Thank you Ben and company. With you and your team, so much of this important information would go unreported. The media limits details or doesn’t cover things at all. We love the highly informed at the Meidas Mighty.
Don't stop. You are our only independent news source.
Thank u, Ben and MTN. We need voices like you and others in this platform. The enemy is tough and it is draining my energy … but I think of my kids and their future. Seems like it’s the start of doomsday for them.

We went from being attacked by outsiders to being attacked by insiders.
When will it end?
The votes by Collins and Murkowski are the classic benchmark examples of my experience and belief that it does no good to “contact your Senators and Congressional Representatives in Congress.” This is not “ a government of the people and by the people and for the people….”
I think it still does good to contact them to make them at the very least look bad when it is discovered that the majority of their constituents did not sanction their voting. We should all keep doing it. Keep those calls/faxes, emails, and letters going in and piling up. Numbers matter.
I know this post was like 2 hours ago. But the perpetrator was caught. His father told him to turn himself in. As per Aaron Parnas reporting. We shall see who this guy really is. And also we can not trust anything the DOJ or FBI under this regime says. Because they are not to be trusted. They talk out of their ass. And lie as easy as breathing. So. To be continued.
Someone posted on Facebook that the Democrats should put forward The Charlie Kirk Gun Control Safety Act and dare Republicans to vote against it. I think that's a great idea.
