Chicago’s leadership faced intense backlash during a City Council committee hearing on Friday, as residents vented their frustration over the city’s irresponsible spending on migrants. Although the meeting couldn’t officially proceed due to a lack of quorum, the public comments were more than enough to expose the outrage simmering beneath the surface.
“Are y’all lying to us?” a furious Chicago resident demanded, pointing to the city’s alarming $400 million expenditure on migrants last year. With the city now grappling with a $235 million deficit, residents are demanding answers. “The city overspent to pay for people who haven’t contributed to our tax base while we’re left footing the bill,” the resident continued, echoing the sentiment of countless others who feel abandoned by the city’s open-borders agenda.
At the heart of the issue is the left-wing leadership’s unwavering commitment to spending taxpayer dollars on migrants at the expense of Chicago’s future. Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, one of the key proponents of these policies, suggested a November referendum to tax millionaires by 3 percent to fund migrant services, saying, “We have 120,000 millionaires who can pay their fair share.”
But this idea of “fair share” is enraging Chicagoans who see their city spiraling into economic disaster. The 50,000 migrants arriving by bus and plane from Texas are further burdening a city already stretched to its limits. These policies are not just hurting Chicago—they are killing America, eroding its institutions, its financial stability, and its national identity. […]

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.
