All of the implications of Donald Trump’s substantial presidential victory are still being sorted out. Along with the executive and legislative agenda that the Trump/Vance administration will no doubt put into place, along with the geopolitical implications with the United States’ friends, allies and enemies alike, there is also the judiciary. The president appoints federal judges, subject to Senate approval — and for at least the next two years, the Senate will be comfortably in Republican hands, and thanks to Harry Reid, the filibuster no longer applies to Senate approval of judges.
This includes, of course, the Supreme Court. President-elect Trump, in his first term, appointed three Supreme Court justices. President Biden has appointed one (who is, I hasten to note, not a biologist) and now won’t get a second.
But look at the Supreme Court today, and you see two right-leaning justices that are good candidates for retirement in the next two years – Samuel Alito (74) and Clarence Thomas (76.) While neither has spoken out since the election, the logical time for either to retire would be in the next two years, so that President Trump can appoint an originalist replacement. That may well result in Donald Trump having appointed a majority of the Supreme Court. The implications of that could be huge.
Republicans are gearing up to lock in their remake of the judiciary under President-elect Donald Trump and a new Senate majority, including potentially installing several more conservative Supreme Court justices.
Having already picked three Supreme Court justices in his first term — who were critical in overturning abortion rights — Trump will have appointed a majority of the court if he lands two more.
It’s important to note that the court did not “overturn abortion rights.” The court did what the Constitution dictates: sent the issue back to the states, to be determined by the people’s elected state legislatures. This is a lie that just keeps being repeated, and it’s long past its sell-by date. […]

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.
