The left will ALWAYS go after one of its own – especially if it helps the party win.
Here’s what I mean by that. The Obama and Biden DOJs were – and are – weaponized against political opponents, and even conservative Americans. The IRS targeting the Tea Party. The DOJ labeling concerned parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.” The DOJ targeting traditional Catholics – something the ACLJ is investigating right now. The list goes on.
But their abuse of the justice system is not contained within partisan lines. The DOJ’s legal arsenal is now being used to indict New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez and his wife on bribery charges. The couple is accused of taking hundreds of thousands in cash, luxury vehicles and even gold bars in exchange for political influence with several New Jersey businessman and the foreign government of Egypt.
And yes, it’s easy to draw comparisons between the Menendez indictment… and the accusations about Joe Biden and his son Hunter. We know the corruption runs deep and two separate standards are applied. But with Menendez, the DOJ wasn’t suddenly struck by an ethically-driven lightning bolt giving them all a sense of duty, honor and justice. So, the question remains, why is the left looking to cannibalize one of its own? And why now?
One possible political motive stands out – if we look at Menendez’s history with the DOJ.
Jack Smith, yes- THAT Jack Smith, indicted Menendez in 2017 on similar corruption and bribery charges and went to trial. After the jury was deadlocked, the DOJ yanked the case in January of 2018 and Menendez went on to handily win re-election in New Jersey.
But let’s go back even further to 2015. Remember Obama’s infamous Iran Nuclear Deal? Menendez was one of four Democrat Senators to vote against it.
Now fast-forward to today, and we find a desperate Biden Administration that just needs a win. And a new deal with Iran is expected to be coming down the pike soon. Except the Democrats’ slim majority in the Senate cannot afford four detractors this time around.
If following this DOJ has taught us anything, it’s this: whenever it APPEARS to be doing its job – like prosecuting real possible corruption – it probably isn’t actually doing its job. There’s likely another politically slanted motivation behind their actions.

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.
Wow!
Menendez is a minor leaguer compared to Biden’s $50 Million.
There might be more underaged tramps in the picture. Maybe Hunter flew them in.
The Democrats in New Jersey are among the most viciously corrupt people in America.
This is a hit job by other Democrats to get his seat. Do not be surprised if Murphy appoints himself to Menendez’ seat.
Jesse Watters pointed out that the Menendez bombshells are dropping right before news is ready to be released by the committee that is investigating Joe Biden’s bribery. Jesse’s theory is that Democrats will defuse the revelations about Biden by pointing to Menendez and saying, “If you want to see real evidence of corruption, look at Bob Menendez. You can see the gold bars he was paid in and the $500,000 in cash that investigators found hidden in his house. There is nothing like that with President Biden.”
Check Bidens pool filter.
Whatever whoever says is probably wrong. That’s just politics and ‘reporting’.
It is a sad state of affairs in our country to have SO MANY criminals and easily compromised bureaucrats in our government. If we can get the client list and videos of the Epstein Island orgies, we could open the gallows.
The DOJ is desperate to declare they are nonpartisan, hence New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is ripe for sacrifice.
Yawnzzzz It will all disappear. And the more it changes, the more it stays the same. The Big Man is above and in it all.
DOJ picked on Menendez because he is small game, only $500k, to deflect the public’s attention from their failure to go after the big game, tens of millions laundered through multiple LLCs.
THAT IS THE TRUTH!! 1/2 MILLION IS NOTHING COMPARED TO JOE’S 50 MILLION MONEY GRAB.
You mean that when Nina Simone released “Feeling Good” in 1965, she may have not had the likes of the DOJ or the FBI on her mind and could have only been sarcastic. Of course not, I’m the one being sarcastic and at the moment I do not know what the association is between this article and the song. But for a reason that I have no answer for, as I read the article that song came into my crazed mind. So, if you don’t know it I’ll share.d
FEELING GOOD:
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by, you know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, yeah
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, ooh
And I’m feeling good
Somehow, I just can’t help but think that the idyllic day she sang of was lost somewhere behind us. Possibly it happened back in Dallas. The seeds of absolute treachery and governmental deceit were shown in the American culture and all trust was lost. That new dawn, and Nina have both been forever lost to us.
Also, Sen. Menendez Cuban roots didn’t allowed him to support Obama’s policies toward Cuba. He opposed them and the Gov. created crimes against him
Prosecutor Jack Smith threw the last trial of Menendez.
this trial will not be until after 2024 election where Menendez will not run
Media will drop this from their pallet
Menendez prosecutors will again throw the trial and Menendez walks again
nobody will ever know
