  • Do those files still exist?

    Trumps decision to release the files worries me greatly. Has Pam bonde destroyed everything with his name on it and just left democrat names (or added dem names) to the files. I don’t see why else he would release them.

  • Easy listening news and views

    I am such a fan of MeidasTouch already, and as a result began to watch this series as well. Now I am thoroughly consumed with all the substacks and literally get 100 percent of my news here now. For fun I went back and watched a mainstream news show and couldn’t believe how I had already heard the news a day before! Michael and Ben great job! ♥️🇨🇦

  • Political Beatdown/Meidas

    Love these guys. They get right down to bare bottom facts and truths and hold no punches. The kind of news I prefer, not like mainstream watered down media.
