(DCNF)—Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese said on “VINCE” Tuesday that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was being disingenuous when she said Democrats should not prioritize impeaching President Donald Trump.
Pelosi suggested that Trump has not yet committed any acts worthy of impeachment during his second term in a Monday episode of USA Today’s “The Excerpt,” saying impeachment should not necessarily be on the Democratic agenda if her party regains control of the House in 2026. However, Coglianese argued on his show that Pelosi was attempting to conceal Democrats’ intention to impeach Trump because they are waiting until after the midterms.
“The point of that clip is her pretending like they don’t have this aspiration to get rid of Trump, to impeach him yet again,” Coglianese said. “That’s her playing a game of pretend because everything with her is fundamentally deceit in the service of her long-term power. Deceit in the service of by any means necessary power for Democrats.”
“So any word coming out of her mouth … if she came out and she was complimenting Trump today, I would say, ‘She’s lying. There’s a reason for this. There’s a purpose behind this.’ And that’s what she’s doing again,” he added. “She’s trying to downplay the left’s desire for impeachment.”
Coglianese noted that Democrats were reportedly angry at Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar for trying to impeach Trump in May.
“They’re upset with him because he’s making that play too early. He’s trying to kick the field goal and they’re not at the end of the field yet. So they’re trying to stop him from doing that. He’s stupid,” he said. “It’s not time for a turnover. We can’t do that yet. They’re trying to do the same thing to people like [Democratic Texas Rep.] Al Green. They’re constantly trying to tamp this down.”
“Like, ‘Don’t let people know we’re crazy. Don’t let people know that we’re trying to run this guy out of office. Pretend like we care about, what’s the word again? Affordability. Let’s pretend like we care about that for now. And by the time we get across the finish line after the midterms, then it’s weapons free. We can do whatever we want after that.’ That’s their actual plan,” Coglianese explained. “So there’s Nancy Pelosi pretending like they don’t want to do it. Of course they do.”
Pelosi said during the Monday episode that Democrats should only focus on impeaching Trump if he takes an action that justifies it.
“[T]hat’s not an incidental thing you say — ‘We’re going to do that.’ No, there has to be cause,” she said. “There has to be reason.”
House Democrats successfully impeached Trump twice in his first term during Pelosi’s speakership despite her early reluctance.
While Green forced a vote on Thursday on a resolution to impeach Trump, the articles were overwhelmingly tabled in a 237 to 140 vote, with 47 Democrats voting “present.” House Democratic leaders also released a statement on Thursday distancing themselves from his impeachment efforts, arguing that the process generally mandates a rigorous investigation.
“CNN News Central” host John Berman asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Friday why he voted “present” on the articles, marking a shift from his previous “no” vote on impeachment in June. Jeffries told Berman that the House must undergo a “serious process” before weighing impeachment.

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.
