So here we are after a truly extraordinary first week of the second Trump administration, and how is the left holding up? Not so well, I’m afraid. It looks as if the forest bathing and other soul-soothing activities didn’t work, and thus after a week of energetic making-America-great-again activity, leftists are sadder and angrier than ever and looking for ways to maintain their fragile emotional equilibrium.
We’re talking about people who believe that men can become women, Hamas jihadis are “resistance fighters,” and Kamala Harris was a competent and compelling candidate, so their mental health wasn’t all that great to begin with. But Trump being so energetic in service of the good and the true has just about sent them around the bend.
Salon.com accordingly offered on Monday an article with the lugubrious title of “Surviving ‘political grief’: You’re not alone, and there is a path forward.” It doesn’t paint a pretty picture if you’re a thoroughly indoctrinated Marxist who is desperately worried about “climate change” and “trans rights,” for everything is going down the drain: “Donald Trump is now the 47th president of the United States. Compared to the horrible things that will happen in America over (at least) the next four years, the weeks between Election Day and his inauguration may be remembered as the good times.”
What horrible things? Well, if everything goes according to plan, inflation will slow, gas prices and taxes will go down, wages will rise, the border will be secured, and numerous illegal and criminal migrants will be deported. What’s not to like? Plenty, if you’re an America-hating leftist, and hordes of the nose-ringed, blue-haired, black-clad masses have a tremendous case of the sads.
Salon’s Chauncey DeVega lamented: “The shadow of Jan. 20, and the cruel coincidence that it fell this year on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s remembrance day, hung over us all. King was among American history’s great defenders of democracy and human rights; Trump is a committed enemy of those values.” This only makes sense when you remember that for the left, “democracy and human rights” means the left winning every election and restricting the speech of those whom it fears and hates. Trump is for a free society with a robust opposition and no restrictions on speech, and so for leftists, “democracy” is under threat. […]

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.
