Consider for a moment all of the therapy couch musing seen from the press in the days after the Donald Trump election victory. Despite years of demonizing the man, somehow, the general public supported him at the polls at a level that defies interpretational spin; he won cleanly, took the popular vote, won all the crucial swing states, saw increased voter support from 2020 in 49 states, has the GOP running the Senate and House, and returns to 1600 Penn with a clear mandate.
As a result, many in the media are contemplating what it all means that so much of this country ignored their constant bleating about what a threat a new Trump term presents, and they are struggling. We have heard two intertwined themes coming out – that the truth and accuracy are losing out to misinformation, and that too many people these days spurn the conventional press and get their news from other media sources.
The real amusement is that this reality has not led most of those in the news industry to contemplate where they went astray; instead, they blame the general public. We see them castigating voters for following these “fraudulent” news sources, calling them mostly uneducated and thus incapable of divining the “true news” delivered by the media elites. It is a classic delusion on a grand scale: “Could we be the cause for this? No – no, it is those ignorant voters who are to blame!”
Which brings us to Thursday, and the completely baseless hysteria that was ginned up regarding Trump and a supposed health crisis. Currently, the group involving the president-elect has not established a formal press pool as they are working on the transition, but this has not deterred the media from forming a herd at Mar-a-Lago, and this was the source of Thursday’s manic coverage. A clutch of official black SUVs was seen gathered on the property, as well as a helicopter hovering over the grounds, and then as the convoy left, an ambulance was spotted in the clutch of vehicles in the convoy.
This led to wild speculation in the press gaggle that there was a health problem involving Trump, and then this took on a life with the assembled journalists. Soon, reporters were detailing this “event” transpiring on social media, with all the implications that a health crisis involving Donald Trump may be unfolding. Andrew Feinberg, White House correspondent for The Independent, was one of the “pool” members who broadcast this baseless report. […]

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.
