Trump Orders an End to the Penny.

President Trump has called for the discontinuation of producing new pennies by the U.S. Treasury. The decision was unveiled through a post on social media, where Trump highlighted the financial inefficiency associated with penny production as the primary motivation for his proposal.

The cost implications he referred to revolve around the expense of manufacturing a single penny, which currently exceeds two cents. These production costs have been a point of concern, evidenced by last year’s U.S. Mint report, which indicated that the process of making and distributing each penny amounts to more than three and a half cents.

This move by the President touches on broader discussions regarding currency production and the economic feasibility of maintaining small denominations in circulation. The debate over the penny has been longstanding, with arguments focusing on economic logic and sentimentality attached to the coin.

As of now, the Treasury Department has not issued a detailed response to Trump’s announcement.

The proposal raises questions about potential changes in cash transactions and the handling of pricing strategies that rely on penny increments. This decision aligns with Trump’s previously stated initiatives to streamline government operations and reduce wasteful spending.

Syrian Jailed for Death of Toddler on Migrant Boat.

A court has sentenced a Syrian national to three years in prison in Cyprus, over the death of a three-year-old girl who died of dehydration on a boat overcrowded with migrants. The vessel sat adrift for six days in the Mediterranean and lacked sufficient food and water.

Authorities highlighted the so-called captain’s failure to ensure safety aboard the small, ill-equipped wooden vessel, which carried 60 Syrian migrants. Prosecutors detailed that the captain instructed passengers to dispose of any water bottles to hide the boat’s origin from Lebanon. Following engine failure shortly after its departure on January 18, 2024, the passengers resorted to desperate measures to survive, including drinking seawater.

Rescue efforts by Cypriot authorities, including airlifting the child to a hospital, proved unsuccessful. Cyprus remains a primary entry point for migrants from the Middle East and Africa attempting to enter Europe, although the island has seen a decrease in migrant numbers due to stringent governmental policies. Figures show migrant arrivals dropping from over 17,000 in 2022 to approximately 6,100 in 2024.

The fall of Bashar Assad has influenced migration trends, with an increased number of Syrians opting to return home. Deputy Minister for Migration Nicholas Ioannides reported that many are either withdrawing their asylum applications or revoking their international protection status.

However, Cyprus’ handling of migrant rights has faced pushback from globalist leaders in the European Union (EU). The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) judged the country for not allowing Syrian nationals to seek asylum, forcing them to return to Lebanon after keeping them at sea in October last year. The court held that Cyprus’ actions violated the human rights of at least two Syrian migrants.

UK Health Secretary Admits Healthcare DEI Programs Promote ‘Anti-Whiteness.’

Britain’s far-left Labour government has admitted that DEI policies in the National Health Service (NHS) have an anti-white bias. Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledged that some diversity measures within the (NHS) have been counterproductive.

Streeting pointed to instances where actions taken in the name of equality, diversity, and inclusion were misdirected. He highlighted a case where an NHS staff member shared a job advertisement online, describing part of the role as involving “anti-whiteness.” Streeting questioned how such language might be perceived by the public, particularly those experiencing significant health inequalities linked to socio-economic status.

The Health Secretary indirectly referred to Dr. Florencia Gysbertha, an East London NHS psychologist, who last year circulated an advertisement for a trainee position emphasizing “anti-whiteness/anti-racist praxis.”

The NHS has faced previous criticism over issues of alleged anti-white sentiment. In 2021, the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, a leading purveyor or child gender transitions, hosted a seminar addressing “Whiteness – A problem for our time,” drawing international attention.

Further controversies arose when NHS emergency services were reported to prioritize asylum seekers and migrants over native Britons. Some migrants were able to jump healthcare lines while natives waited years for treatment.

Additionally, the NHS has been criticized for lowering entry standards for foreign nurses to address staffing shortages. Recently, it was revealed that 35 diversity roles, with salaries exceeding $99,500, have been advertised since July 2024 under the leftist Labour government.

MAGA Lawyers Back Trump Move to End Birthright Citizenship for Illegals.

America First Legal (AFL) has filed amicus briefs supporting President Donald J. Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of individuals unlawfully present in the United States. The legal filings were made on behalf of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and 17 other committee members and are in opposition to an effort by several Democrat state attorneys general to secure a preliminary injunction against the presidential order.

The conservative legal group contends the 14th Amendment, properly interpreted, excludes citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in the United States.

“Specifically, the historical record confirms that the Fourteenth Amendment does not confer citizenship on the children of aliens unlawfully present in the United States,” the AFL brief states, continuing: “Because of this, ‘[a]n alien who seeks political rights as a member of this Nation can rightfully obtain them only upon terms and conditions specified by Congress,’ United States v. Ginsberg, 243 U.S. 472, 474 (1917), but Congress has never granted citizenship to the children of aliens unlawfully present, see also 8 U.S.C. § 1408.”

“Thus, the other branches are forbidden from conferring such citizenship on their own, a limitation that the Executive Order ensures is followed within the executive branch,” the brief argues, concluding: “The Court should deny Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction.”

President Trump’s executive order asserts that citizenship should not be automatically granted to those born on U.S. soil if their parents are unlawfully in the country or only temporarily present. However, the measure is being contested by several Democrat-controlled states in federal court and is expected to eventually reach the United States Supreme Court.

Unhinged Democrat FEC Chairwoman Refuses to Leave After Being Fired By Trump.

Ellen Weintraub, the Democrat Chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and outspoken critic of President Donald J. Trump, refuses to leave her office after being fired by the America First leader. First placed on the FEC in 2002 by President George W. Bush through a recess appointment to fill one of the Democratic Party seats on the Commission, Weintraub has served four terms as chair of the FEC, most recently being renamed to the position by former President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, President Trump issued a brief letter to Weintraub, informing her of her firing. “Dear Commissioner Weintraub, You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission effective immediately,” President Trump wrote. Notably, Weintraub has repeatedly denied and challenged President Trump’s assertions of election fraud and sought to use her position to instead investigate the America First leader—most recently over alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

In response, the Democrat chairwoman of the FEC declared in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of [the FEC]. There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.”

WEINTRAUB’S 23-YEAR REIGN.

The tenure of Weintraub on the FEC is one of the more controversial public appointments in the federal government, and her legal ability to hold her position has been disputed since 2007. Technically, the Democrat election commissioner’s appointment expired on April 30, 2007. However, successive presidential administrations and the U.S. Senate have either failed to nominate or confirm a successor, which has allowed Weintraub to remain on the FEC far past her term’s end date.

How Weintraub’s six-year term on the FEC dragged into a nearly 23-year reign results from how many federal commissions are structured. Commissions for government bodies like the FEC are not removed until their replacement is confirmed by the U.S. Senate. However, when it comes to nominating and appointing new FEC members, partisan politics has derailed the process in the U.S. Senate numerous times, leaving the six-person commission unable to reach a quorum and fulfill its duties.

Powerless ICC Cries Foul Over President Trump’s Sanctions Order.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday criticized an executive order by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that imposes sanctions on the globalist organization, asserting that it threatens their independent judicial operations. President Trump’s directive, announced on Thursday, warned of significant consequences for those involved in investigations deemed to jeopardize U.S. national security and that of its allies, including Israel.

Previously, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza. The Israeli military began operations in Gaza to uproot and destroy the Hamas terrorist group after the latter perpetrated a large-scale attack against the Jewish State on October 7, 2023, taking several hundred hostages and killing over 1,200.

In a statement Friday, the ICC reaffirmed its commitment to its staff and its mission to deliver what it regards as justice. The court, established by the 1998  Rome Statute treaty, has the mandate to prosecute cases of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. However, neither Israel nor the United States are technically signatories to the Rome Statute—the treaty establishing the ICC—having withdrawn their assent in 2002.

Several U.S. presidential administrations have criticized the ICC, contending that the international judicial body has “insufficient checks and balances on the authority of the ICC prosecutor and judges” and “insufficient protection against politicized prosecutions or other abuses.” Additionally, the ICC has become deeply unpopular on the African continent, where numerous governments claim it only represents the interests of Western nations and their “imperial” ambitions.

DOGE Doxxer Journo Is Former USAID Manager.

The journalist who doxxed a member of staff of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claiming they made racist remarks online, previously worked for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Katherine Long wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal this week, identifying Marko Elez, a 25-year-old member of tech billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE team, as being behind deleted social media accounts that allegedly advocated racist positions. According to Long, Elez was behind an X account whose user joked about “normaliz[ing] Indian hate” and said they would not date outside of their ethnicity. Elez resigned from his position this week.

A short autobiography by Long from her time at the Seattle Times newspaper states, “Before matriculating at Columbia [University], I’d been working for the federal government, managing USAID projects in Central Asia.”

USAID has been a focus for DOGE in recent days, with Musk and his team revealing millions of dollars have been spent on bizarre projects, from transgender plays in Colombia to feeding al-Qaeda jihadists in Syria.

Long also previously worked for Business Insider and attempted to doxx online personality and health writer Raw Egg Nationalist (REN). She wrote a letter to local farm shops to pressure them into identifying REN. Just two weeks later, the George Soros-backed HOPE Not Hate organization publicly doxxed him.

Some have defended Elez, including Vice President J.D. Vance, who called for DOGE to bring him back.

“I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever,” Vance said on X.

Rescuers Still Searching for Aircraft Lost Over Alaska.

A search is ongoing for a Bering Air plane carrying 10 people that vanished amid a severe winter storm in Alaska. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, was bound for Nome, best known for the famous Nome serum run of 1925, from Unalakleet. when it was reported missing at approximately 4 PM local time Thursday. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the plane was about 12 miles offshore over Norton Sound when contact was lost.

The ongoing search is grappling with harsh weather conditions, including snow, strong winds, and fog leaving rescuers facing “zero visibility conditions. The alarming disappearance follows two recent deadly crashes that have heightened concerns about air safety. A mid-air collision in Washington, D.C., between an American Airlines plane and a U.S. military helicopter resulted in 67 fatalities last week. Additionally, a medical jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia claimed seven lives two days later.

Before the latest disappearance, the pilot of the missing Bering Air flight informed Anchorage’s air traffic control about plans to enter a holding pattern due to a runway closure at Nome. The total flight time from Unalakleet to Nome is typically about 55 minutes.

Efforts to find the missing plane continue with a focus on land searches due to the hazardous ice conditions in Norton Sound. A water landing for the aircraft is considered to be the worst-case scenario.

U.S. Attorney Announces Investigation Into Threats Against DOGE Staff, Theft of Government Property.

Ed Martin, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, has announced an investigation into “individuals and networks” accused of stealing from the government and threatening staff at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), helmed by tech mogul Elon Musk.

“Thank you for the referral of individuals and networks who appear to be stealing government property and/or threatening government employees,” Martin wrote in a letter to Elon Musk and Steve Davis at DOGE. “After your referral, as is my practice, I will begin an inquiry.”

Martin stressed that “if people are discovered to have broken the law or even acted simply unethically, we will investigate them and we will chase them to the end of the Earth to hold them accountable. We will not rest or cease in this. No one should abuse American taxpayer dollars nor American taxpayer workers. Noone is above the law.”

Martin added that his office has already been assisting local law enforcement “in protecting DOGE workers and others over the past week or so.”

A post on Bluesky, a pedophile-infested liberal alternative to X (formerly Twitter), by Boston University worker Jared May sparked concerns recently, as it showed several members of the DOGE team described as “carrying out Musk’s coup” on a digital “WANTED FOR TREASON, DEAD OR ALIVE” poster.

EU Parliament Member Demands Investigation Into USAID Activity in Europe.

A German populist Member of the European Parliament (MEP) has demanded an investigation into the activities and influence of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), questioning if the agency engaged in illegal influence activity.

Alternative for Germany (AfD) MEP Petr Bystron called for an investigation this week, highlighting claims that USAID attempted to influence the 2024 European Elections in several EU member states, accusing the agency of funding disinformation campaigns.

“Trump has done fantastic groundwork; now we must also swiftly and comprehensively uncover illegal election interference by foreign powers in Europe,” Bystron said. He also accuses USAID-funded media of allegedly targeting anti-globalist opposition parties and claims it may have attempted to orchestrate regime change globally as well as influence elections.

It has been revealed that USAID funded around 90 percent of the media in Ukraine, but it has also funded left-wing media in EU states like Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and First Lady Melania Trump’s native Slovenia.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, announced Friday, February 7, that his government would reveal all U.S. funding to media and NGOs and called for legal consequences.

“We don’t call them agents… but these are people and organizations paid from abroad whose job is to overthrow the Hungarian government,” Orban said.

USAID has spent millions of dollars of taxpayer money on bizarre projects, from a transgender opera in Colombia to poppy farming in Afghanistan and feeding al-Qaeda jihadists in Syria.

Earlier this week, it was announced that President Trump is ordering almost all USAID staff on leave, with only 294 staff out of 14,000 globally deemed essential.
