(Independent Sentinel)—Victor Davis Hanson gives an in-depth explanation of the legitimacy of the temporary appointment of Elon Musk and the DOGE. He also explains that USAID was founded under executive order and can be dissolved by executive order. It is not an agency.
He has more legitimacy than some prior appointments. VDH described what Musk is doing. Democrats are concerned that President Trump is not spending previously appropriated money.
As far as impounding funds, Hanson said Biden set the precedent and told Ukrainians he wasn’t going to give them $1 billion, as ordered by Congress. Biden also refused to build the wall and wouldn’t spend the money on the wall as appropriated by Congress.
VDH also contrasts the actions of other presidents to demonstrate that nothing Donald Trump is doing with the DOGE is unusual.
He also mentioned something you all probably noticed. Attacking Elon Musk has taken the heat off President Trump.
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.
