The acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said on Thursday that the disaster response agency will review grants and funding to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) amid the Trump administration’s calls to reform the agency.
The acting director, Cameron Hamilton, said in a post on social media platform X that the agency will look into agency funding for NGOs and that “survivors and communities impacted by disasters are and will continue to be our main priority.”
“Because we care deeply about survivors and their communities and because we want to be accountable to the American people, effectively immediately, we are implementing additional steps to fully review the entire slate of grants and funding that FEMA provides to NGOs,” Hamilton said in a video posted on X.
FEMA’s goal will “prioritize survivors and the communities impacted by the hardest hit disasters,” he added. “We are doing this because we want to be responsible with our dollars and deliver them to those in need.”
President Donald Trump has been critical of the agency and signaled earlier this week that it should be terminated outright for what he said was mismanaging disaster relief funds. […]

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.
