Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris did not have to wait like former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump for the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) to get their technology together on Tuesday. They were right on time for this “Conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris” in Philadelphia. It is not surprising that Harris was given the JV Team of journalists to moderate this conversation. Gerren Keith Gaynor, White House correspondent and managing editor on politics for The Grio; POLITICO correspondent and MSNBC analyst Eugene Daniels; and NPR’s Tonya Mosley are not hard-hitters, and nobody would be able to pick them out of a lineup. They are all young and green, probably exactly as Harris wanted.
It is also par for the course that they treated the selected Democrat nominee with kid gloves. There were no combative questions out the gate. Daniels led off by thanking her for her time and acknowledging that she was busy. ABC’s Rachel Scott could have used some etiquette lessons from him.

DANIELS: We want to start with an issue that Americans across the country say is their No. 1 concern, and that is the economy. A question that has been asked of you, and everybody on the Democrat side, is whether or not voters are better off now than they were four years ago. Are they better off than they were four years ago?
Harris thanked the journalists and the NABJ for having her and gave a mini-word salad about the important work they do and how they must ensure organizations like NABJ “always have the resources and the platforms to deliver the voices that must be heard.”
No doubt this was so she could pull from her mental Rolodex of rehearsed talking points on the topic. It was as expected. Harris gave the same canned talking points she spouted at the debate. Almost verbatim. […]

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.
