When radical Middle Eastern terrorists flew American planes into American buildings killing Americans, we responded by going after them in their holes, in their hideouts in Afghanistan and Iraq — in part of what was then known as the Global War on Terror. But what do we do when a radicalized American drives an American truck onto an American sidewalk and kills Americans?
We begin to realize that our struggle is not merely against terror — which, frankly, is a tactic — but against an ideology that warps the body, mind, and soul. How else do you explain a 42-year-old Texas native who served in the United States Army plowing a rented pickup truck into a crowded sidewalk in New Orleans on New Year’s Eve, killing 14 people? How did such an ideology take root in our own country?
Now, this wasn’t the first incident, but it should serve as a wake-up call as we have pushed God and morality out of our classrooms, entertainment industry, and government. We shouldn’t be surprised when destructive ideologies find fertile ground, whether it’s the oppressive and violent actions of ISIS, Hamas, or any other extremist group.
At a pivotal moment in our nation’s history when the Constitutional Convention threatened to unravel, Ben Franklin quoted Psalm 127 calling for prayer. It reads, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”
In 1787, the focus was on building the house — the house we call America today. Our challenge is guarding that house. The only way to protect America from the threats we face if we want to remain free is by seeking God’s hand of protection upon our nation — and that requires us to pray and to turn to God. […]

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.
