A Mississippi district attorney backed by Democratic megadonor George Soros and a Mississippi mayor endorsed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) have been indicted on federal bribery charges.
The Justice Department alleges that Hinds County district attorney Jody Owens and Jackson mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, both Democrats, accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from two FBI informants posing as real estate developers seeking projects in downtown Jackson, Miss.
According to prosecutors, Owens solicited $115,000 in bribes from the informants and directed them to pay bribes to Lumumba. The mayor accepted $50,000 in bribes in exchange for “exerting his influence and taking official action relating to the Developers’ proposed project in downtown Jackson,” prosecutors allege.
Owens and Lumumba ascended to their offices with the help of Soros and Sanders, respectively. Owens, who was elected in 2019 on a platform of providing “alternatives to incarceration,” received $500,000 that year from Soros’s Mississippi Justice and Public Safety PAC, according to the Capital Research Center. Owens, a former attorney for the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, was accused during his race for district attorney of sexual harassment. While in office, he has been accused of pulling a gun on a man at the home of his chief of staff.
Sanders endorsed Lumumba, who has called himself a “revolutionary” who aimed to make Jackson “the most radical city on the planet,” in 2021. […]

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.
