Keep up the good fight! Long ago in a much forgotten state of WV lived my grandmother, a single parent of two during the depression years, who always emphasized to be cautious where your income came from and to always hold your personal standards above all. Radical thinking- I think not!

That is TRUE wisdom for the ages. So glad you shared that.

Billionaires should not exist. Time to tax them into paying no their fair share. Glad mighty Meidas is resisting their money to fight for truth!

Look at all the contributions $$$ to the inauguration. If we had any doubt about who is running this government….

Expand full comment

Yes! What they're not counting on is the cost for being liars, adulterers, pedos, greedy SOB's and the infighting that has already manifested from within. They'll betray each other and fight to find a "good spot" in the space Dummy Donald grants them.

They will never be able to prepare for the mornings he wakes up needing a diaper change and in a bad mood! Who in their right ming would want to work for a person like him? Who? Nobody with two brain cells--that's who.

So, we will watch them self-destruct. The only thing that MAGA can pass--in or outside of the WH is gas. aka methane overload. LOL 😂

Thank you Ben and all the Meidas Mighty's for saying what we all know to be true. Outside investors want money. Look at the legacy media. I think the American public was crystal clear when joe and mika lost half their audience. We want the truth period. We are stronger together and we will fight together to make sure our Democracy will survive.

Peter- Please stop embarrassing yourself! Your emotional instability and lack of factual references coupled with your horrific syntax and use of profanity, makes anything you say not credible.

You are not among your cohort: you know the uneducated, followers, not leaders, angry for your own shortcomings. Tread lightly Peter, your cognitive abilities and debate skills are woefully lacking. Simply: You're an idiot and I'm a well educated, MASSHOLE! #1 in the country across all metrics and again I stipulate, in Boston parlance: You, Peter are a wicked f*n MORON! LOL!🤣🤘🤣

He can't help it. He's an incel. Rejected and ignored his entire miserable life. He wants a back and forth. Desperate for attention. His opinion means nothing. Why he's even here is hysterically funny. But, if he likes getting his hind quarters handed to him my wife has already b*tchslapped him--in addition to others who've chewed him up and spit him out. Major idiot loser is Pitiful Peter. 😂

Let me be clear Peter, what an apt name for you. First, we are not all the same we are not maga. Second, I don't drink pop (how old are you using that term ? ) I also do not eat Taco Bell it's poison. Our Democracy is only is only 250 years old NOT 1200. You are either a troll or you don't know shit about American history. Can you handle THAT TRUTH ?

Of course I do not eat Taco Bell. I do not shop at Whole Foods. Throughout American history elections have been won and lost. Since you brought up Rome, the Senate in Rome was made up of male patricians, the wealthy. The Comitia Centuriata was also made of males. Thankfully, our Democracy has evolved to represent ALL people. I can find any country on a map. If you are so unhinged perhaps you should stop coming into this space. Clearly, anyone who is intelligent triggers you...

Peter. I am already bored. You couldn't find your brain with both hands and a MAP. Your anger at all of us is YOUR trigger, that is so very obvious. Meidas Touch is a place where we all want to see our Democracy stay intact. Go shit in someone else's yard. Thank you for your input...

MTN should remain independent, in addition to the other independent journalists who do not accept bribes from greedy individuals trying to trample our rights and keep us in the dark. I am grateful for MTN, and others who tell the truth and do not gaslight us. Unlike TYT, MTN always bring the receipts and educates their audience. Keep the good fight and I will continue to fight with you via sharing and educating people on the issues.

Thank you to all the contributors to the Independent news.

You have the right idea for MTN. It must be corporate and PAC free to be truly independent. I follow Meidas Touch and the sites you link to, not the bloated often biased 'legacy,' news sources.

Keep up the good work.

Absolutely agree - so disappointed when WP would not support KH.

Absolutely remain independent Meidas! You are my daily source of information because I know I’m getting the truth - thank you!! Keep up the great work Ben, we’re counting on you!

Ditto!

Expand full comment

I get my political info from MTN but also get literally good news from the Good News network which shares advances in science and medicine and heart warming human kindness stories and I also follow Jessica Craven and in her weekly round up on Sundays she includes success in many areas that are the result of political actions like giving lands back to Native Americans, increasing the diversity of the federal judgeships, lots of sharing about victories at the state level. I enjoy the Good News Network as a lot of what they share has to do with progess/accomplishments from other nations. On the one hand often it seems that there is a lot more progress in other nations than the US and that's disturbing (remember Biden said in his interview how can we remain the world leader without the best education system) but the other side of the coin is that the rest of the world is making great progress and hopefully some of that will trickle down to the US.

The attempt to assign monetary value to all things is a cancer on the intrinsic value of truth, of empathy, compassion, love. Your work is profoundly important in these times that we face. Thank you for staying the course.

Yup. MTN is original and unique. Not going to be sullied by some deep-pocketed oligarch. Not yesterday, not today and not tomorrow. You are 100% right!!!

Expand full comment

Well done Ben and the Mighty! We need to take this further and require only those candidates that are NOT accepting donations from corporate interests or privately funded PACS, to be on your shows. The only way to make this a true effort for the people, it must be paid for and supported by the people. It seems so logical now. I don’t trust the Democratic Party anymore and you guys Ben, have something that I can believe in again. Get after it!

Expand full comment

I disagree, we need to hear from all parties whether they are funded by PACS or not. The last thing you want to do is narrow down or cut off information or points of view. This is the best platform to interview them on as Ben will call them out if necessary and keep them honest.

Expand full comment

I agree that this needs to be a place where any can voice their opinions. I read a couple of Peter's rants but then felt that they weren't going to say anything new and were simply enjoying being able to get under a few member's skins. After that I just skipped them and those who couldn't resist answering him. It's our choice who and how much we read. I prefer to make that choice myself, not to have it made for me.

Expand full comment

Precisely. My wife decided to spank his butt a couple of times just for grins n' giggles. She's not one to mess with and hopefully, Pitiful Peter found it out.

Expand full comment

I’m not saying that. Of course we need to hear about all the candidates and yes, this is the only channel that has the best investigative journalists. Ron is the man! I’m talking about beyond that and doing more than just sitting on Mays’s listening to all their hard work. I want to do more and money is one way to do that.

Expand full comment

Well if we all donated $100 (if able) in addition to our subscription, that would go a long way....

Expand full comment

Yes.

Expand full comment

Agreed on hearing from candidates regardless of funding sources.

One suggestion for a MTN interview is Fl Rep(D-Orlando) Anna Eskamani. Rep Anna was just re-elected to her fourth term in the Fl House.She has taken ZERO from corporations and has an amazing year-round boots on the ground effort with constituents as priority #1. Dem officials have told her to not refuse corp donations and to not talk of corps in relation to bills. Well, Rep Anna does not obey in advance! Like the MTN brothers…..she is brilliant and fearless with a sense of humor.

This is amazing and had no idea! Thanks for sharing. This is my hope too. With enough ground-swell and viral grassroots sharing, someone like this doesn’t need to get the big money. But there is a lot that would also need to happen to make this possible nationally. This channel makes it possible.

Expand full comment

I disagree. It takes a lot of money to run for any office and we can't hear from most people,of any party or none, putting those restrictions in place. Actions speak louder than words. Good investigative journalists will out the bad apples.

Expand full comment

It hasn’t been done yet, so I don’t buy that it can’t be done. With the internet media system and the right person and message, it can be done. If you cut out the legacy media for advertising then I think it is possible. More people can be reached on social media apps and podcasts for far cheaper.

If you're a true man of Integrity-why would you leave MTN? I'll answer: because you are morally lacking in your convictions and are weak for threatening to leave when you don't get your way! Poser

'Peter' is the archetype of interloper! Critical Thinking and Demanding Evidence underpins effective change! Letting in more Peter's does not add to our collective consciousness of striving for pro-democracy ideals. 'Peters' are entrophic to the grassroots energy of individuals coming together to form a formidable force to promote Integrity. If you have energy and time dispelling lies or alternative facts, then letting more 'Peters' in might be conducive to your personal ideals. However, energy and time are limited, valuable commodities and ought not be wasted on giving oxygen to 'Peters'. We need to coalesce around preserving this Republic and not be distracted by letting 'others' into the fold. Ben clearly stated the Mission Statement for MTN-Independence underpins all that drives Ben and other contributors to continue providing the only source of trust and Integrity.

Integrity is the epitome of character on a personal and social level. Integrity is easily lost and can be never attained again-no matter how many mea culpas you have to give. Period. No 'Peters'!

Hi Meidas Mighty! I'm an Aussie.. Why do I have an interest in American Politics..? Not only because Trump is an idiot and a fake, (so obvious!) but also because he is an dishonorable liar, a cheat and a criminal. He disgusts me to my soul but unfortunately my in-laws love him! So, we currently avoid any discussions.. I am just waiting for the next 4 years to see what happens - as I have overheard them say already "why did he pick Mike Geatz"? The bottom line is I support you guys simply because I fear how the trump line-up will effect the world...That's how I feel...You guys are informing and keeping us abreast of what the mayhem that is about to be unleashed! Just saw the vid about Musk and Indians he wants to migrate but what about the migrants that they want to deport etc. they want to get rid of? All of these policies are so contradictory .. But that is what can be expected under a trump's political bs ... for some other Oligarchical influence Anyway that is why I am supporting the Meidas Mighty, b/c I'm one of them...!
