After President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office and Congress concludes the inaugural pageantry and the post-inauguration lunch on Monday, the Senate will get back to work.
The first item on the Senate’s Trump nomination agenda appears sure to be the confirmation of one of their own. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., had a relatively easy confirmation hearing at the Foreign Relations Committee last week and is expected to be confirmed as secretary of State on Monday evening.
Other key Trump nominees will have to wait — though the Republican majority is prioritizing national security posts.
The Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to vote on the Rubio nomination Monday afternoon before it heads to the floor. Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said last week he plans to hold a Monday evening vote on Trump’s nomination of former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be secretary of Defense.
The Senate Intelligence Committee also meets Monday to vote on the nomination of John L. Ratcliffe to be CIA director, according to a source familiar with the schedule, and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is scheduled to vote on the nominations of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to be Homeland Security secretary and Russell Vought to be director of the Office of Management and Budget. […]

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.
