(PJ Media)—The conversation about how divided we are here in the United States of America is a never ending one now. Twenty or thirty years ago, talk about “two Americas” was about economic status. Now it is about the great Red/Blue divide. It’s a bit much when people blather on about us being more divided than ever before, but that’s what you get when public schools stop teaching real American history.
A lot of participants in this conversation bring up the specter of a new civil war breaking out here in the Republic. I am not a big fan of throwing around “civil war” like that, but it is being used a lot. Most people don’t flesh out exactly what this civil war might look like. It’s been bouncing around in my head a lot lately, however.
It’s this kind of mental activity that will eventually drive me back into the frustrating and expensive arms of golf. Better to obsess about my horrible short game than the country splitting apart. Then again, pondering gloomy topics for columns is a moneymaker for me.
While nothing can be ruled out, I can’t see things deteriorating to the point where we see nationwide violence in the streets. Yeah, the lefties like to get their riot on when they get angsty, but they never do it in places where the locals are allowed to fully enjoy the protections of the Second Amendment.
In fact, they tend to only get tough in blue cities where progressive politicians have sufficiently neutered local law enforcement. My once-beloved Los Angeles is a perfect example of this. Lefties there are in complete lunatic meltdown mode because President Trump sent in officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and allowed them to — SHOCKER — do what they were hired to do. When the riot progs thought they could get tough with ICE, Trump sent in more people with guns.

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.
