(Liberty Nation)—If you had to summarize the predicament confronting the Democratic Party as its members stumble through the political wilderness, Rahm Emanuel saying that his good friend David Axelrod put him up to the job would do nicely. The party’s activist grassroots base yearns for systemic progressive change – but it remains bogged down by connected establishment insiders who have no plans of relinquishing power to the new blood anytime soon.
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, also known as ex-President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, might be running for president in 2028. Then again, maybe he’ll run for governor of Illinois – or senator. Who knows? When asked if he might be mulling a 2028 White House run, he told the hosts of ABC’s The View: “I am in training – I don’t know if I’ll make the Olympics.” So yes, he’s considering it – but there are other options to weigh as well.
Rahm Emanuel: Just Put Me Somewhere
Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker’s second term expires in January 2027, and there is nothing to prevent him from seeking a third four-year tenure except higher political ambition. Pritzker, who governs as a social leftist but is also a multibillionaire with strong establishment ties, is eying a 2028 presidential campaign of his own, and one man is urging him to go for it.
“Third terms are notoriously perilous, and things that can go wrong tend to go wrong in third terms,” David Axelrod, former chief strategist and senior advisor to Obama, told WBEZ Radio in Chicago on May 13. “If your attention is divided between running for president, which is a hellacious job in itself, and … dealing with crises at home, that is a very difficult balance to strike.”

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.
