In the wake of the second attempt on his life, Donald Trump flagged the “highly inflammatory language” Democrats have deployed against him, such as the charges of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that the former president is a threat to democracy and so forth. When it comes to inflammatory language and outright hatred, it’s hard to top former CIA director John Brennan, author of Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. Note the order in the subtitle.
The CIA is tasked to counter foreign threats to the nation, but with Brennan, CIA boss from 2013-17, the enemies are at home and there is no greater threat than Donald Trump. Brennan “carried a mental catalog of the many unfavorable impressions of Mr. Trump I had accumulated over the previous decades” a man relying on “intimidation, untruths, ruthless litigation and bankruptcy laws.” For Brennan, “no individual came close to Trump’s dishonesty, unabashed self-aggrandizement, and demagogic rhetoric.”
After Trump trounced Republican opponents in the primaries “it was undeniable that he possessed a charisma that allowed him to repackage his political snake oil as a magical national exlixir.” Brennan was “shocked at his electoral college victory” but could not understand how so many voters could back him for president. Nothing here about the damage done to the nation by the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama. As his CIA boss sees it, the voters must have been tricked.
Brennan decides that “Vladimir Putin personally ordered the influence campaign to boost Donald Trump’s election prospects while discrediting Hillary Clinton so that her anticipated presidency would be crippled from the start.” Undaunted recycles the Russia hoax, but there’s more to Brennan’s hatred of Trump.

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.
