Is NewsNation truly unbiased as they claim? Frankly, I don’t know. I haven’t paid much attention to them. But a Tweet that came across my desk reveals a story that would never have made it on ABC, CNN, MSNBC, or any of the left-wing corporate outlets.
The video in the report is awful. Hopefully they got better footage to put on their channel. It’s clear the members of the NGOs helping to smuggle illegal aliens into the nation didn’t want any of their actions reported.
Video notwithstanding, the actual story being told by Correspondent Ali Bradley is very telling. Here’s her Tweet:
AZ: Overwhelmed in the Tucson Sector… For the first time, migrants were released by Border Patrol Agents at the Casa Grande Station in Pinal County—And they weren’t given a court date but rather are expected to show up to an immigration office within 60-90 days.
55 people mostly from Ecuador were transported north to Phoenix yesterday afternoon where they were eventually greeted by members of @RESCUEorg—A supervisor of the “Welcome Center” literally blocked our @NewsNation camera while we were standing on public property.
We were trying to ask questions but they declined to speak with us at the location.
Sources tell me migrants who have been processed will be released daily from that station and if available, the NGO will receive/transport them. You’ll recall this is happening down in Cochise County as well, and migrants are being transported to Tucson so they can continue their journey to their final destination.
Both of the NGOs are receiving federal funding/grants which is taxpayer $$.
This all comes as the Tucson Sector is currently asking other sectors for volunteers to help process/transport.
@DHSgov says people who cross irregularly between ports do not qualify for asylum and are subject to removal under Title 8 as there is a legal pathway at the ports of entry through the #CBPone App— 1,450 migrants are coming through daily.

Whatever you think is happening at the border, however bad you think it is, the reality is likely far worse. As many of us search for big-network-level reporting that is not coming from Fox News or the other Murdoch properties, it’s good to see stories like this coming out.
When they hired Chris Cuomo last year, it was the first I’d heard of NewsNation and I never gave them a second look. Perhaps my judgment was premature. We’ll see. Judging by their YouTube channel, it appears I need to give them a closer look.
Unbiased? Yes, Please!
As someone who has worked with multiple news agencies over the decades, my preference is for unbiased reporting. It’s so rare today and I’ve made the case that we need right-leaning news sources like One America News and Right Side Broadcasting Network to counterbalance the radical leftist control of the news cycle.
It’s one thing to support conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and Glenn Beck. But when it comes to straight up news reporting, my preference would be to have it simply reported. Moreover, story selection is everything when it comes to what’s considered “news.” It’s telling that this week the coming third indictment of President Trump overshadowed the bombshell revelations against the Biden Crime Family by a huge margin on corporate media.
I don’t know enough about NewsNation to tell if they are less biased than other networks. But with this story being reported about the border crisis, I’ll be watching more closely. Whether you have watched NewsNation or not, please leave your thoughts in the comments on my Substack.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
