(Townhall)—Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) isn’t the person you want delivering these talking points, but who are we to stop our enemies from walking into the meatgrinder? If there’s one group of people who know exactly what’s not going on, it’s millionaire U.S. senators from Connecticut. There’s nothing to gain with Murphy, except solidifying the Democratic Party’s reputation as coastal, elitist, and wildly out-of-touch.
As the Senate debated the reconciliation package and conducted a vote-a-rama yesterday, Murphy attempted to criticize the GOP’s attachment to the legislation, which has its faults, as “cult-like.” Why is that, Chris? At its core, the bill seeks to make the Trump tax cuts permanent, fully fund Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda, and implement work requirements for social welfare programs.
It’s not hard to see why the GOP is pushing for this bill. Also, you’re one to talk—Democrats were lock-step behind Harry Reid, and not only because he ruled that caucus with an iron fist.

This is almost as laughable as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), a self-described democratic socialist who made a pilgrimage to the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, slamming the GOP as ‘Stalinist.’
Please, man, stop—we’ve all seen what happens when your people tend to break from the herd on a single issue. They’re ostracized like Themistocles of old.

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.
