Buy gold and put some silver in your pocket. I know what you're thinking. Everything is so expensive right now. How am I going to buy gold? But listen, we got to talk about this. One thing you can control right now that does not cost you anything out of pocket is the ability to diversify your retirement savings. Birch Gold Group can help you convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold. By the way, you can do it in whole or in part if you just want to hedge your bets and say, I'm going to take part of it, whatever. You pick the number and put that in gold just so I'm not entirely in the stock market. A lot of people would say that's a very smart move and it's something that can be a hedge for you against inflation.
Right now, Birch Gold is going to give you a special America 250 one-ounce silver round for every $10,000 you purchase by July 10th. That's four days away, so don't waste time. Think about this. Ten years ago, you could get an ounce of gold for about $1,200. Today, it would cost you around $4,500.
Look at that markup. That's in gold. You missed that period if you weren't in gold, but you don't have to miss the ten years coming at us now.
Where is this going to be in ten years from right now, from today? You should be on the positive end of that swing this time around, and you can do so by texting MK to the number 989898 That will help you take advantage of free America 250 silver with qualifying purchase before July 10th. Again, text MK to the number 989898 today.
Democrat Graham Platner's campaign for US. Senate in Maine now in serious crisis, with the nominee canceling events and publicly saying he is taking time to reflect on his path forward after a woman he once dated publicly accuses him of sexual assault. Politico reporting 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Razekot says Platner forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago, despite what she described as repeated objections. Platner denies the allegation, calling any accusation of non-consensual behavior quote, categorically false. Razekot telling Politico she met Platner on a dating app in 2019 and dated him on and off for more than two years. She says one night in late 2021, after she told him not to come over, Platner entered her unlocked rural Maine home uninvited, extremely intoxicated and walked upstairs to where she was sitting on a couch. Razekot says she could smell alcohol on his breath and believed he was, quote, almost blackout drunk. Telling Politico he got on top of her and kept grabbing her, even as she told him to stop, quote, I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me. I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself like, this is no longer my choice. Razekot saying she tried to get out of the room only for Platner to follow her into her bedroom where she says he had sex with her against her will. I had been telling him these words like, no, don't. And the look on his face and realizing what was happening, I just realized that like, I am in a situation where there's no consent here. Politico reporting the outlet reviewed emails between Razekot and her therapist, referencing the alleged assault, along with 2023 Facebook messages in which Razekot warned another woman against getting involved with Platner long before he ran for office, telling the woman she, Razekot, had ended up in a bad situation with Platner and that he doesn't listen to you when drunk. Razekot admits she never filed a police report and while she claims she did send Platner a message on Instagram weeks after the alleged encounter, saying it had not been consensual, she could not produce the message saying she later deleted all correspondence with him.
