US Treasury instructed by Trump to stop minting pennies, citing high production costs. The U.S. Mint reported losing $85.3 million in the 2024 fiscal year that ended in September on the nearly 3.2 billion pennies it produced. Nobody alive today remembers the 1/2 cent, which was discontinued in 1857 after a run of 64 years. Hangin’ on to it is more nostalgia than common sense, and nickels are next. The cost to produce a penny is 270% more than its value, and for nickles, the disparity is 180%. Bottom line? Hang on to those penny and nickel collections for your grandkids. They might have enough value to be worth somethin’ when they get to be your age.

We pay more schools, yet test scores drop. Why do you suppose that is? Oh yeah. The state’s run by Democrats.

HB 2442: Citizenship proof before voter registration. How far do you think this bill – written and sponsored by Republicans – will get in a legislature dominated by a supermajority of Democridiots?

Energy experts blast failed billion-dollar DOE project as ‘financial boondoggle,’ ‘disaster.’ The Obama administration gave Ivanpah $1.6 billion in loan guarantees. Remember Solyndra? This is another one of his boondoggles, just like it was. Obama hasn’t been president for eight years, but his screw-ups are STILL spendin’ your money. If another Democrat didn’t ever occupy the White House for the rest of MY life, I’d die a happy man.

Days before Trump halted funding, an ex-Israeli hostage was held at UNRWA school in Gaza, she reveals. Emily Damari says she was denied proper medical care while being detained at UNRWA site. Besides their employees crossin’ the border to murder Israelis on October 7th, this is EXACTLY why I’ve said the UN’s raghead lovin’ subsidiary needed to be cut off.

Social media erupts after Democrats’ failed attempt to enter locked Education Department. Every one of the Democrats tryin’ to force their way past security is a hog tryin’ to shove their way back to the feed trough. The trough that #45/47’s tearin’ apart.

Musk team’s access to student loan systems raises alarm over borrowers’ personal information. Wait. It was okay for Biden to make blue-collared workers pay for the college educations of over 4 million, including doctors and lawyers, but it’s NOT okay to do a deep dive into who got the money? Of course the Democridiots are pissed about it. Who do you think got bailed out by the Idiot in Chief? Buy some popcorn, settle in, and let me explain how this works. Since the Vietnam War, ubiquitous draft-dodgin’ hippie propesters’ve both graduated, become faculty, and started runnin’ those same colleges. Those lawyers are Democrats by nature, and they become judges. Fast forward to today’s commonsense moves to save the average American’s tax dollars from fillin’ the Democrat’s hog trough, and those same judges are more than happy to throw up roadblocks to keep #45/47 from turnin’ this place into a commonsense country once again by cuttin’ off the cash flow to all the bleedin’ heart, trans lovin’ wokesters. What? Do you need examples? How did you miss NN.1 6 Feb 25 that listed what USAID was spendin’ YOUR tax dollars on? Things like $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces, $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru. And these are just a fraction of the misspent millions.

Oregon joins lawsuit challenging Trump gender-affirming care executive order state also joined a lawsuit seeking to halt the federal Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive information. Of course it did, and it was the Democrats that did it. These kinds of money wasters are precisely why this state scores so low in a myriad of areas. Transplanted Californians are responsible for makin’ common sense an endangered species in Oregon.

Eugene Firefighters Union explains the proposed “fire service fee.” The fire department can put as much lipstick on this pig as they want. It boils down (once again) to Hippieville havin’ to increase our utility bills ’cause they spend too much of your money on touchy-feely stuff. Viewed from another perspective, a case can be made for Lane County raisin’ your property taxes ’cause the city needs more from their cut to put out fires or send an ambulance. Until cities, counties, and this state finally decide to start usin’ Transition Centers and spendin’ $71 million a year on the bums instead of the almost $6 billion they spend now, you’ll continue to see headlines like this.
