(WND)—In the wake of the George Floyd riots of 2020, public confidence in law enforcement agencies faltered to the point where some agencies lost funding. At this time of low morale and support, it tended to be Republicans who continued supporting the police.
Now, the leading law enforcement agency in the country, the FBI, has allowed itself to become a political weapon, and in doing so lost the confidence of the remaining supporters of police.
The federal agency, which was generally respected for the work it did, has now shown itself as biased and partisan, and certainly lacking in integrity, which is part of the FBI motto. Its persecution of innocent people and ignoring political lawbreaking on the left has left the agency at the mercy of the Democrats who corrupted it in the first place.
Americans realize this and are putting the FBI on notice that a strong majority of the public don’t trust them. Things are so bad that when the FBI posted, “The FBI wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season!” on X with a picture of a fire in a fireplace, people voiced their displeasure with the agency in the comments. Some were quite funny, but most were scathing:
- “Are you guys burning evidence that could convict Hunter Biden in that fire?”
- “🎶Inconvenient citizens roasting on an open fire …”
- “You being unemployed or in prison is the holiday gift America needs.”
- “Even their fire leans left.”
- “In case you haven’t noticed, Americans have lost all respect for you. You have no one to blame but yourselves.”
- “How fitting! A Dumpster Fire.”
- “Still investigating churchgoers?”
- “Good thing the FBI is busy prosecuting grandmas who walked into the Capitol holding a flag on January 6th…”
One respondent summed up the general sentiment best, writing, “Everybody hates you.”
While it might not be everyone who hates the FBI, it is far too many people. A recent Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that 70% of the respondents were either very or somewhat concerned about interference by the FBI and other intelligence agencies in elections. Forget about Russian interference, more Americans think the FBI is trying to fix the election.
Slightly more respondents (71%) believe that not enough has been done since the 2016 election to stop election interference.
Of course, while the FBI has lost the confidence of Republicans, it has gained support of Democrats. However, it will only have that support so long as it is a useful tool to them. It is a situation of politics making strange bedfellows. The left traditionally hates law enforcement. Sooner or later, it will turn on the FBI, leaving it with no support from either the left or right.
At a time where police are regaining support because rising crime in their absence has shown that police are needed, support for the FBI is falling.
The agency once performed a needed service as federal law enforcement. Now that it has shown it is no longer interested in enforcing the laws of the land, it is showing that it is no longer needed.
Why the National Debt Is the Looming Threat to Your Retirement Plans
The Hidden Crisis No One Is Talking About
Every day, headlines warn about inflation, market volatility, and global instability—but the greatest looming threat to your retirement might be something far more fundamental: America’s skyrocketing national debt.
You can learn more about how the national debt affects you by reading this 3-minute report titled, “Debt Will Hit $40T in 2026: Prepare Your Retirement Now“.
With debt growing faster than most Americans can possibly fathom, the government’s borrowing habits have reached historic—and dangerous—levels. To cover spending, Washington is making moves with their budget packages, tariffs, and taxes. Is it enough? No. It’s not even close to what would be necessary to stop out-of-control debt, let alone reverse it.
How Debt Erodes Your Nest Egg
There are only so many levers government and the Federal Reserve can pull to try to protect Americans, assuming that’s even a top priority for them. Unfortunately, pulling one level to relive one pressure invariably adds pressure from another direction. This is why prices keep going up even as inflation reportedly slows.
For retirees and pre-retirees, that’s a perfect storm. The dollars you’ve worked hard to save lose value, and your cost of living increases while your investments lag behind.
If you’re relying solely on paper-based assets—stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—you’re essentially tied to the same system that’s creating the problem. It’s a system that was designed to work well in the 20th century, not in today’s world with people living longer and the dollar rapidly losing value.
This is why the 3-minute report, “Debt Will Hit $40T in 2026: Prepare Your Retirement Now,” is so important.
The Precious Metals Hedge
Thousands of Americans are looking for a tangible, time-tested hedge: physical gold and silver.
Unlike paper assets, precious metals aren’t dependent on government policy or the stock market’s mood swings. They’re real, finite resources that have maintained value for thousands of years through wars, recessions, and inflationary periods.
In fact, during times of high inflation and fiscal instability, gold often performs its best—because it’s seen as a store of value when faith in the dollar weakens. This is why prices have skyrocketed this year and are expected by many economists to continue going up in the future.
Take Control with a Gold IRA
One of the most effective ways to protect your retirement from national debt fallout is through a self-directed Gold IRA. This IRS-approved account lets you hold physical gold and silver within your retirement portfolio, giving you:
- Direct ownership of your assets
- A hedge against inflation and dollar decline
- The control to diversify beyond Wall Street
Augusta Precious Metals specializes in helping Americans just like you take this step with confidence. The company has earned a strong reputation for transparency, education, and personalized service—making it one of the most trusted names in the industry.
The Next Step: Secure Your Financial Future
Augusta Precious Metals has helped thousands of Americans with at least $50,000 to invest from their IRAs, 401(K)s, TSPs, and other retirement accounts safeguard their savings through precious metals.
If you’re concerned about what the rising national debt could mean for your future, now is the time to act.

Hey, I still respect them.——– Long live the FIB!
They’re a gang. They no longer honor their oath.
Do you mean the Federal Bureau of You Talkin To Me?
Article 1 Section 8 Powers of Congress….find the authority for creating the fbi….and I’ll respect it….
The FBI was created with the stroke of a pen. So it can be abolished the same way.
FBI. A bunch of dudes who hide behind their sunglasses and high powered weapons to feel big.
Frauds, Bullies, Intimidators, corrupt as can be, no one should trust them. They have become the Stasi, the Gestapo, the KGB, the SS and SD. They ignore the U.S. Constitution and the Oath that they took to it.
Ummm , . ZERO mention by WND that the FBI this week is in VIOLATION OF A FEDERAL COURT ORDER to release the Seth Rich laptops?!?! The FBI refuses to release real evidence, covering it up — AS USUAL!!!
Thanks, WND, usual stuff MINUS all facts!!!
“The federal agency, which was generally respected for the work it did” —- what a WND false narrative — many gave up on the feebs SIXTY years ago when the feebs destroyed EVIDENCE related to the JFK assassination — — as did the Secret Service and NSA! (Assuming the CIA might have as well, but no evidence on that yet?!)
Wasn’t it the FBI who was involved in the 1993 bombing at the WTC, the World Trade Center?!?!
The 2006 FOIA’d notes of top intelligence dude, Stephen Cambone (Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligenxe — he oversaw the NSA, DIA, NRO, NGA, etc.) revealed that it was now known that “federal agents” tracked the Saudi/Yemeni hijackers of FLIGHT 77 up until they actually board the airliner — even taking two of the three aside for an interview!? WERE those “federal agents” FBI?!?! Probably . . .
Lesding up to 9/11 and 3,000 dead — — field agents of the FBI sent hundreds and hundreds of warnings of a prob able upcoming terrorist strike, but FBI managers Frasca and Maltbie chose to ignore them!?!?!
MEMORANDUM 112
Other than the FBI ignoring the Chicom biowarfare lab in Reedley, California, and the FBI classifying those 21 evidence exhibits from the Charles Lieber trial in Boston (the Wuhan University of Technology/Nanotechnology Lab guy and his syringe–injectable NANOWIRES); other than Peter Strzok, James Baker, Karen Greenaway, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Robert Mueller★, Elvis Chan, Brian Auten, Patrick Fallon, Clint Watts, Daniel James, Joseph Pietnka, Rita Flack, Dave Frasca, Michael Maltbie and too many others — why would anyone possibly be suspicious of the FBI/Stasi?!
★ Robert Swan Truesdale Mueller III, grandnephew of fired CIA deputy director, Richard Bissell
“Americans Now Distrust and Mock the FBI”
OK, you forgot contempt. There is also mutual contempt. Albeit they have a lot more for Americans than Americans have for them. But that is changing.
Just tossing out a question here: If you were seated on a jury, and the prosecution presented evidence that came from the FBI, would that make you more or less likely to vote ‘guilty’?
The USA is so full of CORRUPT JUDGES and FBI agents on the TAKE! you wonder how many Bribe Envelopes he or she took.
“While it might not be everyone who hates the FBI, it is far too many people.”
Are you kidding me? EVERYONE should hate them. Anyone who doesn’t is either woefully uninformed or as corrupt as they are.
