As American citizens suffer the devastation from the natural disaster in western North Carolina, Florida, and other southeastern states, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced FEMA funds will not be sufficient to cover the hurricane season. One of the reasons for the shortfall may be that DHS has diverted funding from FEMA to aid and resettle noncitizens and to help fund foreign interests such as the war in Ukraine. FEMA’s rumor control page argues otherwise, stating the following:
“This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.”
FEMA’s claim may be accurate in the strictest sense of the word. However, it is easy to conclude that if the agency ultimately gets some finite sum of taxpayer funding, a chunk of that funding does not benefit American citizens in need. The fact that it is coming from the disaster aid bucket may be a distinction without much of a difference.
Either way, as Breanna Morello reported, about $640.9 million in FEMA funding is going toward noncitizens in FY2024 alone from the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP). In FY2023, FEMA awarded almost $364 million to noncitizens. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
