George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley criticized the Democratic Party on Fox News Friday for what he said is a dangerous turn towards extremism.
Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley initiated an investigation into a California-based Democratic Party organization, alleging potential financial support for violent protests during the recent Los Angeles riots. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Turley said that the party’s actions are driven by unchecked rage, which he said fuels extreme decisions and actions.
“It’s as if they’ve become a party of Jacobins, that they are endorsing the most extreme possible actions. I just wrote a book on the age of rage, and this is what rage does,” Turley told host Laura Ingraham. “It gives you a license to do things and say things you would not ordinarily do or say.”
Turley also pointed out the addictive nature of rage.
“And what these people won’t admit, what they won’t admit tomorrow, is that they like it and that they need it and that it’s contagious and it’s addictive. That’s what rage is,” Turley added.
Turley also discussed legal proceedings involving political figures.
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump on Thursday to return control of the California National Guard to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. Judge Charles B. Breyer, a Clinton appointee, temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard members in Los Angeles, delaying the order’s enforcement until Friday at noon.
Turley criticized the judicial opinion, saying it could reach the Supreme Court where the Court has traditionally granted presidents significant deference in military force deployment decisions since the Madison administration.
“You’re supposed to be speaking to the law. You’re supposed to be speaking to the citizens as to what the law demands. Not how you view presidents or figures or politics or parties. And that’s where I think that he did cross the line here in a very significant way. Now the Court of Appeals is going to have to look at this,” Turley said.
“It could very well go to the Supreme Court. Since James Madison, this has been an issue, and the Supreme Court said back in the Madison administration that a president is given great deference in deciding when to deploy these types of forces,” Turley said. “They generally do not second-guess, as this opinion did. So you can debate the lines of authority, but much of this opinion seems to me really extraneous to the legal questions.”
Earlier Friday, a federal appeals court blocked a lower court’s order requiring Trump to turn over control of the National Guard to California. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals allowed Trump to retain the National Guard in Los Angeles, at least until Tuesday, when it scheduled a hearing to address the issue.

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.
The democratic party is a domestic enemy and a terrorist organization hell-bent on the destruction of the Republic of the United States of America and mean tremendous harm to its people. The leaders of the Democratic Party are all traitors. Their actions, past and present, undeniably prove this fact. They speak lies to the truth! They cheat and murder. They are godless and violent. They need prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!
In coordination with each other, Democrats spread the most inflammatory lies possible about anyone who opposes them. Less than mentally stable suggestible non-critical un-thinkers swallow it hook, line, and sinker. When they act out violently in response to the propaganda, Democrats never condemn it but instead justify and enthusiastically encourage more of it.
Today’s Democrat party is the Communist party of the USA. It’s that simple.
