Democrats like broad federal and executive power if it expands the state for their goals, but not if it advances Republicans’ interests.
Democrats’ histrionics over President Donald Trump’s use of executive power conflicts with their history. Numerous Democrat presidents have done as much, or more, than Trump is doing now. Amid Democrats’ histrionics, history, and hypocrisy, their only consistency is a willingness to see federal and executive power used when it expands the state and the presidency for their goals.
Beyond bemoaning Trump’s actions of freezing funding, deporting illegal immigrants, imposing tariffs, and blocking men from participating in women’s sports, Democrats label these actions existential threats to the republic.
Freezing funding for review is dubbed unconstitutional, despite estimates that the federal government made $2.7 trillion in erroneous payments since 2003 and created a $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024. Deporting illegal immigrants is labeled racist, despite these individuals having broken the law. Imposing tariffs is decried as inflationary, despite the Biden-Harris administration having fueled inflation throughout their four years. And barring men from women’s sports is called transphobic, despite the law’s clear intent to base itself on biological differences rather than ideological preferences.
An irony of history underlies these histrionics. Joe Biden clearly and continually tried to overturn the parameters of presidential power. He repeatedly sought to shift student debt to the general taxpayer, even though the Supreme Court had ruled against it. So much for Democrats’ inflation concerns. Biden opened the border in violation of his constitutional obligation to enforce the law — then he abused his power of parole to open the border wider still. […]

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.
