During his Friday visit to the fire-ravaged areas of Los Angeles, President Donald Trump outlined a vision for California’s recovery and future resilience, emphasizing a rapid rebuild, streamlined federal regulations, and a critique of current state environmental policies. The visit, just four days after his inauguration, highlighted his administration’s commitment to addressing the aftermath of one of California’s most devastating wildfires.
“We can’t have a Golden Era without the Golden State,” Trump told the room of state officials and residents who had gathered to discuss their needs.
President Trump and Mrs. Trump had visited North Carolina earlier on Friday as part of a push to emphasize his America First agenda for the United States.

Expedited Rebuilding:
Trump pledged to expedite the rebuilding process by streamlining federal permits, claiming that under his administration, California would recover faster than if managed by his predecessor, Joe Biden. He emphasized the need to bypass the usual lengthy permit processes to start reconstruction immediately, suggesting that local permits could take up to 18 months without federal intervention.
Criticism of State Policies:
The President criticized California’s environmental regulations and the state’s Democratic leadership, accusing them of being “lunatics” for not supporting voter ID laws and for their ecological policies which he believes exacerbate wildfire risks. He highlighted the need for forest management, particularly vegetation control, to prevent future fires. […]

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.
