(Townhall)—Earlier this year, wildfires hit Los Angeles. It was a tragic story of blue state incompetence, with much of the coverage also involving how Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and President Donald Trump certainly went at it against each other. Trump had not yet taken office for his second term. Another wildfire has hit, the Madre Fire, which has hit the central part of California. Sure enough, Newsom is making it his mission to go after Trump.
Newsom has posted and reposted several times from his official account about the fire, with one of those posts serving as his pinned post. It’s worth nothing that the first post, from his press office, does note that California “remains in lockstep with our federal partners.”
UPDATE — The #MadreFire, which started and exploded on federal lands, is now mapped at more than 70,000 acres and containment is up to 10%.
The state remains in lockstep with our federal partners, and @CAL_FIRE has significantly increased air & ground resources in the last 24… https://t.co/39IwMIbhiC

Newsom’s posts otherwise don’t go for that tone about partnership, though. One post in particular even takes the time to go after Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which passed both chambers of Congress earlier this week and Trump signed into law on Friday.
“Trump needs to WAKE UP and start funding federal firefighters and land-management teams in these rural communities – instead of giving tax cuts to billionaires,” the governor’s pinned post reads, going for a tiring narrative we’re used to hearing from Democrats about the bill. “Trump’s incompetence is endangering lives,” the post even claimed.

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.
