(DCNF)—During a discussion with Politico on Wednesday, Democrat California Rep. Nancy Pelosi claimed there are more people in America who believe Elvis Presley is alive than there are natives of Greenland who want to join the U.S.
Interest in the Trump administration acquiring Greenland started in January after President Donald Trump suggested he was considering taking control of both the Panama Canal and Greenland. Pelosi made the comparison after Politico senior political columnist Jonathan Martin asked if additional U.S. military bases might open in Greenland.
“Well, it depends on the people of Greenland. It’s their territory. Now, I’ve been to Greenland. Before the vice president went, several years ago, I brought a delegation. [It] was the highest-ranking delegation ever to go to Greenland,” Pelosi said. “We went because of the climate crisis.”
Following Trump’s announcement, Democrats quickly pushed back on the idea of the U.S. acquiring Greenland from Denmark to make it an American territory for resource and national security purposes. While some claimed the proposal was false, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Jan. 30 that the bid is “not a joke.”
“We went there, and we went right to where the scientists were, practically underground. What they told us that they were measuring then, say this is about 2008, around that time, they told us that what they were measuring in terms of the melting of the Arctic, by the time it got to the peer review, it would already be obsolete that the melting was going so fast,” Pelosi said.
“So we went because of climate and a big delegation, bipartisan. It was really important,” Pelosi added. “If we had reached out to Greenland to talk about cooperating on security, on climate, on all of that, that would have been a very positive thing. I think that more people think that Elvis Presley is alive in the United States than Greenlanders who think they want to be part of the United States. It’s like 6%.”
A 2002 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll said 8% of 900 respondents believed there’s a chance Elvis Presley is still alive. Trump’s push to free Greenland from Denmark has stirred interest among the territory’s political parties.
In March, Greenland went to the polls, with five out of six parties on the ballot favoring the territory’s independence from Denmark, according to the BBC.
As a result, Greenland’s pro-business opposition Demokraatit Party secured 29.9% of the vote, jumping up 9.1% from 2021, Reuters reported. While the Naleraq Party — which favors a rapid break from Denmark — came just behind at 24.5%, the Demokraatit still supports a slow approach to independence, according to Reuters.

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.
Jesus asked Pelosi who she was, she replied: “We are Legion and we are many!!”
She has no soul…. and certainly a demon serving Satan.
As we all know, democrats can’t help themselves with all of the lying, gaslighting, deceptive wordsmithing and especially the one favorite skillset they use predominately, projection…
Now we know she actually believes Elvis is still alive… Why do I say that? She projected that shinola onto most Americans…
For Christ sake here we go again with this climate BS. And do notice she is wearing a Ukrainian flag.
Correction: There is no climate crisis.
The ice was melting so fast we missed it! We’ll try again and not blink this time. Oops! Must have blinked, but send us more money and we will do this over and over because nuclear winter, global cooling, ice age, global warming, climate change is real! Honest!
She’s a perfect example of what demonic voters create. Liars, and hellions for the sake of power. Sacrificing children to Moloch through PP. May she and they burn in the Lake of Fire 🔥 for eternity.
