I stand by my assertion from last week when I said we’d either see a massive red wave or another round of stolen elections. What should have been a red tsunami was replaced by a cunning manipulation of not only votes but also how people are responding to it all. Like an assassin who makes his murders appear to be accidents, the powers-that-be stopped the red wave in its tracks while simultaneously convincing people that we should have expected this all along.
Early reactions to the 2022 midterm election results explain exactly why the results are what they are. I expected one of two things. Either there would be a massive red wave or there would be an uproar over races being stolen. Neither turned out to be true, at least as of now. The red wave didn’t happen and practically nobody is pointing to the unambiguous reality that rigged elections are to blame. Instead, we’re seeing finger-pointing and detailed but false analyses about why it happened.
Far too many conservatives have been trained to accept the fraudulent results because the mainstream narrative has been well-formed. Diverging from the mainstream narrative has proven to be dangerous, so most have convinced themselves that it’s better to play it safe. They’re busy trying to figure out what went wrong when the answer is blatantly clear.
This isn’t hard. Many of the races, especially in the states that were accused of being havens for voter fraud in 2020, were flat-out stolen. The hard part is getting those who know it in their hearts to admit it. Most won’t because we’re not allowed to think that. To speak it out loud would make us “election deniers,” at which point we’ll be lambasted by both the left as well as those on the right who are either blind or secretly happy with the results.
I covered all of this and a lot more on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.
At this point someone will write in the comments that I need to show proof before making such accusations. We had so much proof of voter fraud in 2020 that was never properly reported or adjudicated that I no longer have faith in the system. To be more specific, I cannot accept the judgment of the post-truth society that we have become. This stance will get me labeled as a purveyor of “disinformation,” but I don’t care. What the powers-that-be call the truth are nothing but blatant lies. Patriots desperately need to stop falling for the notion that we cannot trust our own eyes or that things that don’t make sense to us are our actual reality.
Now is the time to stand behind what you feel to be the truth. If it doesn’t make sense to you that Joe Biden received more Black votes than Barack Obama, it’s because he didn’t. If it doesn’t make sense to you that John Fetterman could win despite being mentally unfit for the job, then you should accept that Pennsylvania has arguably the most corrupt election system in the nation. If it doesn’t make sense to you that nearly every race in states where voter fraud was an issue in 2020 defied polls and logic to yield Democrat victories, then perhaps you’re ready to come to the conclusion that I’ve come to, that many of these elections were stolen.
My biggest mistake was underestimating how gaslighted many if not most conservatives have been. Far too many, including a lot of those reading this article or listening to my show, have either been indoctrinated into accepting the narrative or they’re coping with the results by seeking other explanations. And as I noted on Twitter, Republicans who refuse to acknowledge our elections are being stolen should accept full ownership of these results because you hampered those of us who continue to try to expose it.
To the Republicans who said we need to "move on" from the 2020 election without holding anyone accountable or putting in measures to stop it from being repeated, YOU own this.

Nobody wants to believe the system is so corrupted because nobody wants to admit that we no longer have a representative government. We don’t want to feel powerless to make changes. We don’t want to believe the bad guys are in control. I can understand the need to cope with this by accepting lies because it’s far easier than staring into the abyss of reality. If our elections are rigged, what can we possibly do to fix it? The people who could fix it are those who are in control, and fixing it means they would lose their own ability to remain in control. Therefore, they won’t fix it.
We saw what happens when a state addresses voter fraud issues with Florida. It was not exactly indicative of what the rest of the nation could experience if voter fraud was solved because Florida had the added benefit of attracting hundreds of thousands of extra Republicans over the last couple of years. But it’s telling that since the powers-that-be had given up on Florida, the results far exceeded what was projected. I’m not suggesting that people like Doug Mastriano, Kari Lake, or Lee Zeldin would have won their races by 20-points if it weren’t for voter fraud, but I am certain they would have won by double-digits.
Many are saying this is Donald Trump’s fault. Those who are saying that and jumping on the DeSantis bandwagon are falling into a trap. That’s NOT to say I’m against DeSantis or for Trump for 2024. I like them both and have challenges with both of them as well. But the rising anti-Trump sentiment is being manufactured by the powers-that-be, and it has very little to do with Trump himself.
The powers-that-be didn’t just see this election as a way to salvage Democrat power. The bigger fish that they wanted to fry was us. MAGA Republicans, America First patriots, Trump supporters… whatever you want to label those who supported people like Mastriano, Lake, Don Bolduc, Tiffany Smiley, and other America First candidates were the real targets. They want us splintered. They want the GOP Establishment to continue to manage our side of the political fence for the Uniparty Swamp.
This election was mostly about shutting us up and making us fall in line with Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, and the rest of the GOPe power brokers. This isn’t about Republican versus Democrat. This was about protecting the powers-that-be, the globalist elite cabal that manages the Biden-Harris regime and the Uniparty Swamp.
The problem I didn’t anticipate, this problem that is manifesting very clearly now, is that I thought they’d have to stick their necks out too far to steal these elections. They did stick their necks out even further than they did in 2020, but my fatal mistake was not realizing there would be so few willing to call them out for it. I didn’t realize until now that the false narratives were already pre-planned. They are busy herding the vast majority of Republicans into an anti-Trump, pro-DeSantis election post-mortem debate and far too many are willingly being led to that ideological slaughter.
For the past five years, I’ve been doing whatever I can to stay just below the radar. Call me a coward, but I’ve always tried to stay in my own little corner of digital conservative media, content to not get too far into the spotlight for fear of my family being targeted. I refuse to speak lies or to go along with the mainstream narrative, so I figured I’d speak the truth to a relatively small audience, big enough to feed my family but not big enough to draw the ire of cancel culture, the Deep State, or the Principalities and Powers. I figured if I wasn’t really a threat that I wouldn’t get raided at 4am by the FBI.
My reluctance to fight on the frontlines is gone. My intention was to launch Discern.tv as a venue for my content but with a focus on higher-end conservative pundits. I’m abandoning that toe-dipping, hesitant notion and rushing headlong into battle because it’s now abundantly clear it’s necessary. We simply don’t have enough prominent fighters who are willing to speak the truth, so I’m choosing to join the fray. That’s not a statement of my delusion of grandeur or undiagnosed clinical narcissism. In an ideal world I’d be completely out of the spotlight, reading my Bible and enjoying my family on a homestead in Montana. That would be nice. But we’re not in an ideal world and I haven’t been able to move the needle from the background. Therefore, I’m stepping up and stepping out.
We’ll be launching Discern.tv next week, far ahead of schedule. We’re not ready as I don’t have nearly enough content to be able to put it on Roku or any actual TV networks, but I can launch it with on-demand content for now and turn it into a 24-7 livestreaming channel when that time comes. I desperately need resources and admittedly I’m embarrassed by my inability to raise more funds. Those who have donated have been an absolute blessing, but we need a lot more to make it happen. I’m launching with or without the funds. Sometimes you just have to take the plunge and see what happens, so I’m launching.
If you suspect the red tsunami didn’t happen because the powers-that-be wouldn’t allow it to happen, then please know that you’re not alone. There will be those on the left but especially on the right who will tell you that you’re mistaken. They’ll say you’re just coping. They’ll point to a dozen different reasons why the red tsunami failed to materialize, but stolen elections aren’t among those. They’re wrong, and many of them will know they’re wrong which means they’re lying to you. Stay firm with your beliefs. Express them if you have the courage. But one thing is certain. The gloves need to come off. Our nation is in jeopardy and far too few are willing to do what it takes to save it.

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.
