The Republican Party has a problem. Okay, so they have a lot of problems, but the most glaring problem affects them from both the electoral perspective as well as on the policy side.
As independent conservative journalist Emerald Robinson pointed out, the GOP has a problem with picking who is going to represent the “future” of the party, especially with their presidential candidates..
The GOP thinks Nikki Haley is the future of the party.
In 2016, the GOP thought Jeb Bush was the future of the party.
In 2012, the GOP thought Mitt Romney was the future of the party.
In 2008, the GOP thought John McCain was the future of the party.
The GOP is a joke.

Yes. Yes they are.
But to be fair, the “party” she refers to is really just one portion of the GOP. MAGA patriots and America First lawmakers do not align with the choices of the Republican Establishment. And there are more MAGA patriots than not among GOP voters. Unfortunately, the power-brokers and mega-donors in the GOP generally embrace the crony capitalism that not only infects the party’s leaders, but also does great harm to the nation. This is why there are so few America First lawmakers despite a majority of Republican voters who want better.
When the money and the GOP insiders align to put forth RINOs, NeoCons, and compromised candidates, the MAGA base is often forced to choose between milquetoast moderate Republicans or radical Democrats in the general election.
This, above all else, is why I firmly believe the primaries are far more important than the general election. Even an America First president like Donald Trump could not force the Republican Establishment to pass an Obamacare repeal or build the wall when they had a majority during the first two years of Trump’s first term.
We need an America First presidential candidate in 2024, but that’s not enough. We also need America First lawmakers on Capitol Hill and we need America First leadership at the RNC. It all comes down to the primaries.
The battle to nominate real patriots instead of RINO puppets of the UniParty Swamp is already in full swing. It’s time for the MAGA majority among GOP voters to stop watching Fox News, stop listening to NeverTrump radio, and put their efforts toward nominating America First candidates.

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.
It doesn’t matter if the Republicans put Mao or Stalin on the ballot, the press will destroy them and the DOJ will villify them.
