On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk said that DOGE’s team would “plug in” to “make rapid safety upgrades” to the air traffic control system after a string of aviation disasters and failures last week.
“Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system,” wrote Duffy, to which Musk replied, “With the support of President Donald Trump, the DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system. Just a few days ago, the FAA’s primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours!” The DOGE team is comprised of several young men with tech backgrounds who have in no short time been culling through government agencies to find waste.
The string of disasters began on the evening of Wednesday, January 29, when a Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines flight mid-air as the airliner was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan National Airport for landing. 67 people in total between the two aircraft were killed. It was revealed that staffing at the tower was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” and the supervisor had let one controller go home early. Recordings from the air traffic control reveal that the controller spoke to the helicopter about moving out of the way of the plane but did not tell the plane to try to pull up. The plane did try to get out of the way in the last minute before impact.
Two nights later, a small plane that had taken off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport crashed, resulting in a fireball seen in the sky. The Jet Rescue Air Ambulance aircraft was headed to Tijuana, Mexico with a stop in Missouri and was carrying a girl who had just undergone life-saving medical treatment in the United States. On Wednesday, a Japan Air flight clipped a Delta flight while on the ground.
On Saturday, February 1, the primary NOTAM system experienced a temporary outage, requiring the use of a backup system so no impact would be had on the National Airspace System, Duffy said. […]

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.
