The historic bronze statue of Christopher Columbus torn down and thrown into a lake in Virginia by Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters in 2020, has been restored and relocated to Blauvelt, New York.
Weighing about a ton, the statue was initially erected in Richmond, Virginia, in 1925 by the Italian American community. The Italian American Cultural Association of Virginia (IACAVA) fought to take custody of the statue from Richmond officials after the far-left protesters toppled it during the BLM riot four years ago. It remained submerged in Richmond’s Fountain Lake for two years until the IACAVA won a legal battle to salvage it.
However, the move to resurrect the Italian navigator’s statue isn’t without controversy.
“Columbus never discovered America,” said Cliff Mathias, cultural director of the Red Hawk Native American Arts Council. “He never set foot in the mainland of what we call today the United States, the Americas.” […]

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.
