Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald J. Trump just before announcing his social media platforms would end their relationships with “fact-checkers.” Instead, Zuckerberg says his companies will use a community notes model like that implemented on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) revealed the timing of Trump’s meeting with the Meta CEO during a recent interview.
According to Mullin, the meeting took place the day before Zuckerberg’s announcement regarding the new moderation approach. Mullin states, “Mark met with President Trump the day before he announced that they were going to change the way that they do censorship, essentially.” He also noted that Zuckerberg had visited the President-elect on several occasions.
Additionally, Mullin shared a personal interaction with Zuckerberg, revealing that the Meta CEO had invited him to spar. Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter, stated that Zuckerberg had texted him several times, expressing interest in engaging in jiu-jitsu practice together. Zuckerberg conveyed his desire to spar in a cage fight scenario, saying he “would love” to train together.
Some observers have interpreted Zuckerberg’s policy shift away from “fact-checkers” as an attempt to strengthen his rapport with the President-elect. Speculation suggests this move could be influenced by a forthcoming antitrust trial scheduled for April.
Meanwhile, The National Pulse has reported that Zuckerberg has elevated Bush-era Republican strategist Joel Kaplan to Meta’s Head of Global Policy, replacing Sir Nick Clegg, the liberal former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Kaplan joins establishment GOP consultant Brian Baker who was brought on to improve Zuckerberg’s relations with Republican lawmakers late last year. […]

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.
