Want to get find out how you can get Gold and Silver with NO MONEY out of pocket?  I’ll tell you in this article, keep reading! Recently, a family member called me up to ask what I thought about buying more Gold and Silver right now. Since I’ve been preaching about Gold and Silver for a while now, and since that preaching has been proven to be right as Gold and Silver at creating new all-time highs on a nearly daily basis, I guess I’ve gained a bit of a reputation for being “the Gold guy”. But I was happy to have the conversation and honored to have been asked my opinion. I’ve actually received the same question from many of you by email, so I thought I’d go ahead and share what I told my family member with all of you! Sound good? Ok, so the first thing I told him was what I would tell all of you: I’m not a financial advisor and I can’t give anyone personalized financial advice.  Not even a family member and definitely not any of you reading this.  I’m just a reporter who reports on the political and financial news and someone who notices trends and reports on where I see things going. So that’s the first thing. But I can tell you what makes sense to me and what I’m doing, so beyond that, I told him that what I would tell anyone in general is you never want to buy any investment with money you need to maintain your daily lifestyle.  That’s first and foremost. Investments are generally a good thing, especially protective investments that will do well when everything else is going down, but you never want to put yourself in a situation where you don’t have enough cash or cash flow on hand to cover your basic living expenses and maintain your current lifestyle. So that’s where we start, let’s get over that hurdle first. Second, Gold and Silver are not “cash flowing” assets, meaning they do not kick off any monthly or quarterly cash flow the way something like real estate or dividend stocks or even municipal bonds might do. So you’re not buying Gold and Silver because you need a monthly “cash flow” check to arrive in the mailbox each month, let’s just be clear on that too. Third, let’s say you’ve checked all the boxes so far…why would you want to buy Gold and Silver right now? I love the way this guy put it….this is legendary investor Rick Rule who has one of the best quotes on Gold and Silver I have ever heard in the beginning of this video below. He says: “I don’t own Gold because I think it’s going to go from $2,400 to $2,700….I own Gold because I’m AFRAID it will go to $9,000 or $10,000!” Let that sink in a little bit…. Gold and Silver are not assets you’re necessary buying because you think they’re going to go up 10% over 5 years. No, they are SAFE HAVEN assets that could one day jump up to $10,000/ounce in the midst of a crashing US Dollar and crashing US stock market and economy. So if you’re afraid that the US stock market is at all time highs and may soon be in for a nasty correction, or that the US dollar might soon crash as Bo Polny keeps telling us, then Gold and Silver would be serious protections to you and your family. That’s exactly why according to the new Basel III banking standards, Gold was recently reclassified as the ONLY other “Tier 1 Risk Free Asset” other than cash and treasury bonds…. Wow! More on that here: Gold Is Now A “Tier 1 Risk Free Asset” As for me personally, my goal at all times is to hold as FEW US Dollars as possible because you are literally LOSING money if you just hold dollars. Did you know that? Even if inflation is only at 2% (the stated goal of the FED, but it's actually much higher) you are LOSING 2% of your money every single year just holding dollars.  Their purchasing power goes down 2% each year, and if you know anything about compounding interest, that starts to add up fast. For all the visual learners out there, this might blow your mind... Let's say you had $1 in 1950....you could purchase $1 worth of goods.  Simple, right? Now let's say you kept your money in US Dollars all these years because we were all told to "save your money!  Put it in a savings bank!" right?  Were you told that? Let's say you did, how many Dollars would you need in 2024 to buy the same thing based on historical inflation rates? You would need $13 to buy the same thing! I actually think the more powerful way to look at it is the reverse, so I like this chart better... Let's say you had that same $1 from 1950 and you were a good boy or good girl and saved it in your savings account at the bank just like they told you to do.... How much could you buy with that $1 in 2024? Only 7.6 cents worth! $1 in 1950 turns into only $0.076 in 2024 thanks to inflation!  Wow!! That's why I personally try to get as much of my money OUT of US Dollars and into other assets that will tend to hold their value over a long enough time.   For me, that means Gold, Silver and Crypto. Another great option is Real Estate, it's just a lot harder to get into. I like how I can buy smaller batches of Gold, Silver and Crypto whenever I want to. So that's what I told my family member: I can't give you personalized financial advice. Make sure you don't buy any investment with money you need to live on. Don't buy Gold or Silver if you need something that provides "cash flow". But if you can check off all those boxes, and you don't want to see your $1 turn into $0.076, it might be a very smart idea to park your money in Gold and Silver! Every person's situation is different and I always encourage you consult with your own personal financial advisor if you have one. But if you NEED an advisor or need some help getting started, I'd like to introduce you to my friend Ira Bershatsky...and I'd like to tell you about a little secret -- how you can get Gold and Silver with NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET!  Yes, really.  Keep reading...

I mean, his name is Ira, after all, OF COURSE he can help you purchase precious metals in your IRA account! Again, I'm not your personalized financial advisor, I'm just explaining how it works. And I think it's REALLY cool.

He'll take good care of you! Cheers! Noah ? https://wltpreciousmetals.com/

Usually when incoming Presidents declare their “Day One” plans, they don’t actually happen on Day One…. Some don’t happen at all. But with President Trump’s Second Term we’ll likely see the busiest and most jam-packed Day One in Presidential history. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering that President Trump’s Transition Team started meeting BEFORE the Election…. Plus, he’s a businessman that hates delays, hates waste, hates being slowed down, and knows that these four years are going to fly by and he absolutely has to maximize every minute (literally). So he’s going to hit the ground running, and I want to show you everything we know so far about what he has planned for Day One. Let’s start with an Executive Order (that’s probably already written now in November and ready to go) to end birthright citizenship: Trump plans to sign an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal migrants on day one: “Going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic US citizenship.”pic.twitter.com/kOBnsPnBB0 — Julia (@Jules31415) November 7, 2024 Longer clip here: NEW: Upon taking office, President-elect Donald Trump has vowed a DAY ONE EXECUTIVE ORDER to END citizenship for the children of illegal aliens.

He also plans to outlaw “birth tourism” – traveling here just to give birth, and thus, root citizenship. “This policy is a reward for BREAKING THE LAWS of the United States.” “It is a MAGNET helping draw the flood of illegals across our borders. They come by the millions.” “On day one, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law – going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship.” Then we have the resignation (or firings) of every single military leader involved with the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle: Trump wants the resignations of every military leader involved with the HORRIBLE Afghanistan withdrawal, on DAY ONE! pic.twitter.com/IjOiybGG5d — Antonio Sabato Jr (@AntonioSabatoJr) November 9, 2024 US News had a longer list: Throughout his campaign, former President Donald Trump made a variety of promises about what would happen on ‘Day One’ of his presidency, including vowing to be “a dictator,” ending the war in Ukraine and cutting funding to schools for their policies on “critical race theory” and transgender students In December, Trump shared his ‘Day One’ plans with Fox News host Sean Hannity, who asked Trump if he would promise to “never abuse power as retribution against anybody.” “Except for Day One,” Trump said in response. “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill…We’re closing the border and we’re drilling drilling drilling. After that I’m not a dictator.” While some of his promises are more likely to come to pass than others, they offer a window into Trump’s priorities as he prepares for a return to the White House. Here’s a look at what Trump has said are his top priorities for his first day in office: Mass Deportation and an Immigration Overhaul At Trump’s rallies, one of his oft-repeated promises is a mass deportation of immigrants on ‘Day One.’ “On Day One, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump said at his Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 28. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.” How? Trump has mentioned using local law enforcement and the National Guard to assist with the removal process. Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller said Wednesday in an interview that the plan is to immediately return to Trump-era border policies. “All of the secure border policies that we had in place with President Trump, he can simply flip the switch and put those back in place just like they were before. They didn’t need an act of Congress,” Miller said. ‘Drilling, Drilling, Drilling’ Trump’s second priority when he returns to Washington is bringing down inflation, which he believes can be done by increasing oil and gas drilling and rolling back clean energy regulations. “On Day One of the Trump administration, I will terminate Kamala’s insane electric vehicle mandate, and we will end the green new scam once and for all. The green new scam will end,” Trump said at a rally in October, adding that regulation leads to a higher cost of goods. The Green New Deal – a congressional proposal that lays out policy plans for combatting climate change – was never passed or signed into law. It’s possible that Trump and his allies are referring to the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by President Joe Biden, which includes climate and clean energy initiatives. Trump also said at a rally in May that he intended to sign an executive order on his first day that would end offshore wind projects. His campaign has also said he would approve federal drilling permits and pending pipeline projects. “When we think about energy exploration, how we get back to drilling, which ultimately then will bring down prices, bring down inflation, he can do that on his own,” Miller said, meaning that Trump won’t need Congress to approve those policy changes. However, repealing and replacing regulation will likely take longer. At a minimum the process requires a public comment and answer period. And most new regulations also require a 30-day delayed effective date, according to the Administrative Procedure Act. Getting Rid of Jack Smith and Pardoning Jan. 6 Rioters Trump has repeatedly said he would get rid of special counsel Jack Smith, the special prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland who has brought two federal cases against Trump, the election subversion case and the classified documents case. “I would fire him within two seconds. He’ll be one of the first things addressed,” Trump said in an interview on Oct. 24. While Trump likely can’t fire Smith directly, because Smith is not a presidential appointee, he could order the Department of Justice to remove him. For his part, Smith is reportedly evaluating how to wind down the two cases against Trump. Trump has also said he plans to pardon members of the Jan. 6 mob that stormed the Capitol following Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss to Biden. “I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one, because a couple of them, probably they got out of control,” he said at a town hall. At a rally In September, Trump said, “The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime. And I will sign their pardons on Day One.” More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the attack on the Capitol, according to the Department of Justice earlier this month. Ending the War in Ukraine Trump has made several other promises about his first day in office that will be harder to keep. For one, Trump has criticized the amount of aid the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine, and has said repeatedly he would end Russia’s war against Ukraine, even before he takes office. “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done – I’ll have that done in 24 hours,” Trump said at a town hall. I actually thought this video was one of the best I’ve seen. So enjoy this one (transcript below if that’s easier for you): FULL TRANSCRIPT: This is going to be a really detailed video on what to expect on day one and how it could affect you. Now, if you want to know how I’m trading during the day in reaction to some of these announcements, make sure to be a part of the Stocks and Psychology of Money group linked down below. You get all my trade alerts every time I make a day trade, a swing trade, a long trade—any kind of trade alert that I send, I send it to you there. So, make sure you’re a part of that; it’s linked below. Let’s get started. Hey everyone, Meet Kevin here. Oh boy, Donald Trump’s day one is already shaping up—you can’t make this up. Just this morning, the front page of the Wall Street Journal, the top article: Trump advisers ramp up work on mass deportation, pushing to get started essentially on day one. So, in this video, we’re going to talk about the massive “dictator on day one” plans for what Donald Trump is thinking when it comes to deportations, tax breaks, natural gas and oil, and other benefits. And what does this mean for you in the stock market? Let’s break down everything we know about Donald Trump’s dictator-on-day-one plans. And when I say that, it’s not meant to be a slam like the Democrats used it; instead, it’s just quoting Donald Trump. So we’ll keep it neutral here and get into the actual policies. I think that’s usually what can unite us: talking about actual policy. So, you’re thinking, “Alright, Kevin, what does this actually mean for us?” Let’s get into it. Kevin (Meet Kevin): First, let’s hit this deportation article. Advisers for Trump are already planning the massive deportations that Donald Trump promised during his campaign. Keep in mind, his closing line when he basically wrapped up his acceptance speech was “Promises made, promises kept.” So, buckle up—you’re about to see some of these get executed. Let’s see how they end up working. But first, think about this contrast: Joe Biden had a rule not to pursue undocumented immigrants who entered the country and then did not commit other crimes. So in other words, if you got into the country, you sort of had this Florida-style “wet foot, dry foot” policy where if you made it to the U.S. and just didn’t break any other laws, they didn’t really chase you down or prosecute you. Donald Trump plans to end that right away. In fact, he might go as far as declaring a national emergency on day one, or soon after he begins his presidency, to use military assets—which could be the National Guard or other national or military bases throughout the country—to basically begin mass deporting people. So, think about it like this: rounding folks up in convoys, bringing them to military bases, and flying them out on C-130s, lined up like troops going to war. Discussions of this began months before the election in terms of how they’re going to plan to target 1.3 million immigrants with final deportation orders. They’re going to find them, round them up, and send them out. This includes some with criminal convictions, and Donald Trump argues that he’s going to find the other 8 million who came into the country illegally and deport all of them, potentially up to as many as 20 million. Although, the 20 million number is a debated one—it’s unclear if there actually are 20 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Some people say it’s closer to 11 million, and that it grew to around 13 or maybe 14 under Biden. Donald Trump implies it was zero and turned into 20 million under Biden. The number is somewhere in between there, but anyway, this is a big deal. In fact, there are a lot of people who have families in the United States, and they are part of undocumented families. I mean, we still have to get to tax policy, and there’s a lot to cover. But I think it’s worth listening to this. Family Testimonial (off-screen): One family describes their life with an undocumented father. The father says: “I don’t make any trouble. I just go work and come home. My family is scared for me tonight.” Millions of families brace for what’s next, knowing life could soon change for families like this. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Expectedly, life is probably about to change for families like this because, even though they’ve been living in the shadows already, they might have to go even deeper. I know of undocumented immigrants who are now trying to get further and further away from the border on purpose. They won’t even travel to areas like San Diego, just to avoid potential roundup efforts that might involve tracking before Trump’s presidency as departments like Homeland Security prepare. Advisers for Trump are already considering declaring national emergencies on day one to repurpose Pentagon funds, essentially to get more money to conduct this deportation right away. Donald Trump has promised this would be a day one national emergency. I’m skeptical it will actually happen on day one, but if it does, this could be the largest deportation in history, says the Wall Street Journal. Donald Trump plans to renegotiate “Remain in Mexico” and intends to revoke the temporary protected status for millions, which includes people from Haiti, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and others who entered the United States. They received temporary protected status, which allows them to stay here, obtain a driver’s license, get a taxpayer identification number, and work authorization. They’re allowed to stay for one or two years, and sometimes that gets extended, or they marry someone who is American and become citizens themselves. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Now, let’s talk about taxation. There are some tax policy ideas on the table. For instance, Trump has suggested there could be no taxes on tips and changes to Social Security taxes. Through budget reconciliation, Trump could potentially limit the Inflation Reduction Act, remove EV tax credits, and introduce new tax cuts. But it all comes down to whether these will actually be executed. For example, if Trump does push for more liquefied natural gas exports and terminals in the United States, this could bring revenue through natural gas, which is abundant here. Trump also has plans to revoke waivers allowing states like California to impose stricter pollution standards, particularly around oil and gas, which he sees as restrictive to industry growth. Moreover, Trump has hinted at possibly appointing an “energy czar” to coordinate cuts and supply expansions in fossil fuels, marking a stark shift from the Biden administration’s approach focused on demand constraint. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Another key policy area will likely be tariffs. For instance, Morgan Stanley estimates that a 60% tariff on China and 10% on the rest of the world could increase core inflation by about 0.9% and reduce GDP by around 1.5%. It’s expected that there could be negotiations around these tariffs, rather than an immediate blanket approach. Trump’s team is keen on ensuring that any deals benefit the United States. On the regulatory side, Trump is likely to relax rules around mergers, including in the oil and gas industries. He also plans to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, loosen EPA regulations, and even relocate the EPA out of Washington, D.C., to minimize its connections with environmental lawyers and lobbyists. For federal lands, Trump might revoke protections that increase risks to endangered species but open up more lands for oil and gas drilling. And finally, Trump has proposed actions such as pardoning January 6th defendants, firing certain officials, and possibly even phasing out the Department of Education, though that would require congressional approval. Kevin (Meet Kevin): So what does all this mean for you? For day one, the market impact may be limited because most tax policy changes would take time to implement. However, Trump’s approach on deportations and deregulations could affect specific communities immediately. As for the stock market, any Trump-related enthusiasm may already be priced in, so watch for potential corrections as reality sets in.

President Trump has stated quite clearly that his Presidency will be one of “Promises Made, Promises Kept” and no one is doubting he intends to follow through on that in a big way. The latest? His multi-faceted, aggressive plan to immediately restore safety in our big cities and bring law and justice back to America. And I love every last bit of this!

At a rally In September, Trump said, “The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime. And I will sign their pardons on Day One.” More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the attack on the Capitol, according to the Department of Justice earlier this month. Ending the War in Ukraine Trump has made several other promises about his first day in office that will be harder to keep. For one, Trump has criticized the amount of aid the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine, and has said repeatedly he would end Russia’s war against Ukraine, even before he takes office. “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done – I’ll have that done in 24 hours,” Trump said at a town hall. I actually thought this video was one of the best I've seen. So enjoy this one (transcript below if that's easier for you): FULL TRANSCRIPT: This is going to be a really detailed video on what to expect on day one and how it could affect you. Now, if you want to know how I'm trading during the day in reaction to some of these announcements, make sure to be a part of the Stocks and Psychology of Money group linked down below. You get all my trade alerts every time I make a day trade, a swing trade, a long trade—any kind of trade alert that I send, I send it to you there. So, make sure you're a part of that; it's linked below. Let's get started. Hey everyone, Meet Kevin here. Oh boy, Donald Trump's day one is already shaping up—you can't make this up. Just this morning, the front page of the Wall Street Journal, the top article: Trump advisers ramp up work on mass deportation, pushing to get started essentially on day one. So, in this video, we're going to talk about the massive "dictator on day one" plans for what Donald Trump is thinking when it comes to deportations, tax breaks, natural gas and oil, and other benefits. And what does this mean for you in the stock market? Let's break down everything we know about Donald Trump's dictator-on-day-one plans. And when I say that, it's not meant to be a slam like the Democrats used it; instead, it's just quoting Donald Trump. So we'll keep it neutral here and get into the actual policies. I think that’s usually what can unite us: talking about actual policy. So, you're thinking, “Alright, Kevin, what does this actually mean for us?” Let's get into it. Kevin (Meet Kevin): First, let's hit this deportation article. Advisers for Trump are already planning the massive deportations that Donald Trump promised during his campaign. Keep in mind, his closing line when he basically wrapped up his acceptance speech was "Promises made, promises kept." So, buckle up—you’re about to see some of these get executed. Let’s see how they end up working. But first, think about this contrast: Joe Biden had a rule not to pursue undocumented immigrants who entered the country and then did not commit other crimes. So in other words, if you got into the country, you sort of had this Florida-style "wet foot, dry foot" policy where if you made it to the U.S. and just didn’t break any other laws, they didn’t really chase you down or prosecute you. Donald Trump plans to end that right away. In fact, he might go as far as declaring a national emergency on day one, or soon after he begins his presidency, to use military assets—which could be the National Guard or other national or military bases throughout the country—to basically begin mass deporting people. So, think about it like this: rounding folks up in convoys, bringing them to military bases, and flying them out on C-130s, lined up like troops going to war. Discussions of this began months before the election in terms of how they’re going to plan to target 1.3 million immigrants with final deportation orders. They’re going to find them, round them up, and send them out. This includes some with criminal convictions, and Donald Trump argues that he’s going to find the other 8 million who came into the country illegally and deport all of them, potentially up to as many as 20 million. Although, the 20 million number is a debated one—it’s unclear if there actually are 20 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Some people say it's closer to 11 million, and that it grew to around 13 or maybe 14 under Biden. Donald Trump implies it was zero and turned into 20 million under Biden. The number is somewhere in between there, but anyway, this is a big deal. In fact, there are a lot of people who have families in the United States, and they are part of undocumented families. I mean, we still have to get to tax policy, and there’s a lot to cover. But I think it’s worth listening to this. Family Testimonial (off-screen): One family describes their life with an undocumented father. The father says: "I don't make any trouble. I just go work and come home. My family is scared for me tonight." Millions of families brace for what’s next, knowing life could soon change for families like this. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Expectedly, life is probably about to change for families like this because, even though they’ve been living in the shadows already, they might have to go even deeper. I know of undocumented immigrants who are now trying to get further and further away from the border on purpose. They won’t even travel to areas like San Diego, just to avoid potential roundup efforts that might involve tracking before Trump’s presidency as departments like Homeland Security prepare. Advisers for Trump are already considering declaring national emergencies on day one to repurpose Pentagon funds, essentially to get more money to conduct this deportation right away. Donald Trump has promised this would be a day one national emergency. I’m skeptical it will actually happen on day one, but if it does, this could be the largest deportation in history, says the Wall Street Journal. Donald Trump plans to renegotiate "Remain in Mexico" and intends to revoke the temporary protected status for millions, which includes people from Haiti, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and others who entered the United States. They received temporary protected status, which allows them to stay here, obtain a driver’s license, get a taxpayer identification number, and work authorization. They're allowed to stay for one or two years, and sometimes that gets extended, or they marry someone who is American and become citizens themselves. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Now, let's talk about taxation. There are some tax policy ideas on the table. For instance, Trump has suggested there could be no taxes on tips and changes to Social Security taxes. Through budget reconciliation, Trump could potentially limit the Inflation Reduction Act, remove EV tax credits, and introduce new tax cuts. But it all comes down to whether these will actually be executed. For example, if Trump does push for more liquefied natural gas exports and terminals in the United States, this could bring revenue through natural gas, which is abundant here. Trump also has plans to revoke waivers allowing states like California to impose stricter pollution standards, particularly around oil and gas, which he sees as restrictive to industry growth. Moreover, Trump has hinted at possibly appointing an “energy czar” to coordinate cuts and supply expansions in fossil fuels, marking a stark shift from the Biden administration's approach focused on demand constraint. Kevin (Meet Kevin): Another key policy area will likely be tariffs. For instance, Morgan Stanley estimates that a 60% tariff on China and 10% on the rest of the world could increase core inflation by about 0.9% and reduce GDP by around 1.5%. It’s expected that there could be negotiations around these tariffs, rather than an immediate blanket approach. Trump’s team is keen on ensuring that any deals benefit the United States. On the regulatory side, Trump is likely to relax rules around mergers, including in the oil and gas industries. He also plans to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, loosen EPA regulations, and even relocate the EPA out of Washington, D.C., to minimize its connections with environmental lawyers and lobbyists. For federal lands, Trump might revoke protections that increase risks to endangered species but open up more lands for oil and gas drilling. And finally, Trump has proposed actions such as pardoning January 6th defendants, firing certain officials, and possibly even phasing out the Department of Education, though that would require congressional approval. Kevin (Meet Kevin): So what does all this mean for you? For day one, the market impact may be limited because most tax policy changes would take time to implement. However, Trump's approach on deportations and deregulations could affect specific communities immediately. As for the stock market, any Trump-related enthusiasm may already be priced in, so watch for potential corrections as reality sets in.

The Justice Department unsealed an indictment against Hinds County District Attorney Jody E. Owens II, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, the Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, and Jackson City Council member Aaron Banks, alleging they participated “in a bribery scheme to enrich themselves.” “Owens, Lumumba, and Banks are scheduled to make their initial court appearances today before U.S. Magistrate Judge LaKeysha Greer Isaac in Jackson,” a press release stated. “The indictment alleges that Jackson’s mayor, the district attorney in Jackson, and members of Jackson’s city council conspired to accept bribes in exchange for official acts benefiting purported real estate developers,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Officials who abuse their positions of authority to enrich themselves undermine public confidence in government. The Justice Department is committed to restoring that confidence by working with its law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute public corruption,” Argentieri added. “The news comes after the FBI raided a cigar business owned by Owens in May. Owens is backed by Democrat megadonor George Soros,” The Daily Wire noted. NEW: Soros-Funded Prosecutor and Bernie-Backed Mayor Indicted on Federal Bribery Charges The prosecutor, Hinds County DA Jody Owens, was an executive at the Southern Poverty Law Center (@splcenter) https://t.co/94Ir9tyl4V — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) November 8, 2024 “Leaders who are awarded the public’s trust should be focusing on the needs of the Jackson community, not looking to line their own pockets and benefit themselves,” said U.S. Attorney Todd Gee for the Southern District of Mississippi. “As alleged in the indictment, from campaign donations generated through laundered money to stacks of cash bribes, the members of this conspiracy allegedly offered and accepted bribes in exchange for official acts. The Justice Department is committed to investigating and prosecuting bribery and other forms of public corruption,” Gee added. #BREAKING: Hinds County DA Jody Owens and Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba face multiple federal felony counts. https://t.co/iqjuAqtl7s — WLBT 3 On Your Side (@WLBT) November 7, 2024 From the Justice Department: As alleged in the indictment, between approximately October 2023 and May 2024, Owens facilitated bribe payments to public officials in Jackson on behalf of two FBI undercover employees posing as real estate developers (the Developers) in exchange for at least $115,000 and the promise of future financial benefit. Owens instructed the Developers that, for their project to succeed, they needed to secure the support of certain public officials in Jackson through bribery. Those public officials included Mayor Lumumba, Councilman Banks, and former Jackson City Councilwoman Angelique Lee. Owens instructed the Developers how much, where, and when to bribe those officials. As part of the scheme, Mayor Lumumba accepted a bribe payment of $50,000 from the Developers in exchange for exerting his influence and taking official action relating to the Developers’ proposed project in downtown Jackson. As directed by Owens and Lumumba, the bribe payments were concealed as five $10,000 campaign-donation checks from third-party entities and individuals, including Owens. Lumumba then laundered that money through his campaign account before cashing out a portion of the payment. The indictment also alleges that, as part of the scheme, Councilman Banks solicited a $50,000 bribe in exchange for his votes in support of the Developers’ proposed project in downtown Jackson. Banks accepted an initial payment of $10,000 in cash, along with a promise to provide funding for the employment of a family member and a protective detail service. As part of the scheme, former Councilwoman Lee allegedly accepted a $10,000 debt repayment, $3,000 in cash, and a shopping trip worth approximately $6,000 in luxury goods in exchange for her votes in support of the Developers’ proposed development project in downtown Jackson. Additionally, the indictment alleges that, on May 22, an FBI agent approached Owens, identified himself as an FBI agent, and asked Owens about his involvement in the bribery scheme. During the interview, Owens made material false statements to the FBI agent. DA Jody Owens is facing multiple counts in a case that has also seen other public officials indicted, including the Jackson, MS, mayor. https://t.co/lZpbK5j5oU — Clarion Ledger (@clarionledger) November 7, 2024 The Daily Wire reports: Lumumba was charged with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery, honest services wire fraud, and money laundering; federal program bribery; using a facility in interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity; honest services wire fraud, and money laundering. Banks was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery, honest services wire fraud, and money laundering; and one count of federal program bribery. “Owens is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery, honest services wire fraud, and money laundering, and, if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the charge; three counts of federal program bribery, and faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for each charge; one count of using a facility in interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for the charge; one count of honest services wire fraud, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for the charge; one count of money laundering, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for the charge; and one count of lying to federal officers, and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the charge,” the Justice Department stated.
