The Washington Post caused a stir last Friday when it declared it would not be endorsing a presidential candidate in 2024 — asserting the paper was “returning to [its] roots,” even while acknowledging that it had been over 50 years since it last declined to endorse in a presidential election.
This stunning announcement caused no shortage of consternation among the outlet’s already dwindling readership, prompting thousands of readers to cancel their subscriptions in outrage and The Post’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, to issue a lengthy, navel-gazing editorial on the rationale for not just endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris (when she clearly is their preferred candidate).
But despite WaPo’s declared declination to formally endorse, behind the scenes, the outlet is surreptitiously using online advertising to promote the Harris candidacy — possibly in violation of federal election law, asserts the Trump campaign. On Friday, the campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission regarding potential illegal corporate in-kind contributions or unreported expenditures on the part of The Post.
The Trump-Vance Campaign sent out the following announcement regarding the complaint:
Trump-Vance Campaign Files FEC Complaint Against the Kamala Campaign and The Washington Post
The Trump-Vance Campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against The Washington Post for illegal in-kind contributions to Harris for President.
According to reports, the Post is using its advertising powers to promote pro-Kamala and anti-Trump coverage to voters in the final days of the election. While they declined to endorse her publicly, they have endorsed her in the dark; so much for “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
The mainstream media has become nothing more than pro-Kamala propaganda. The Democrat machine must be held accountable. […]

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.
