(American Political Report)—President Donald Trump’s recent directive to halt the production of new pennies has garnered bipartisan support, notably from Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada. Senator Rosen praised the move as a “common sense” decision, emphasizing the importance of fiscal responsibility.
She stated, “I’m not afraid to embrace a good idea, regardless of its origin.”
I’m not afraid to embrace a good idea when it comes from the other side of the aisle, and I agree with President Trump on this.
Eliminating the penny is a commonsense move that’ll save taxpayer dollars.https://t.co/8w0kxRHGtX

The production cost of a single penny exceeds its face value, leading to significant financial losses over time. By ceasing the minting of new pennies, the government aims to reduce wasteful spending and allocate resources more efficiently.
“As well as saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, there are major environmental benefits to eliminating the penny. This is a great move,” Gov. Jared Polis, D-Colo., said of the president’s plan.
This initiative reflects a growing bipartisan acknowledgment of the need to reassess certain governmental practices to enhance economic efficiency. While most Democrats continue to pretend like everything was fine under Joe Biden, some are stepping out and expressing relief over some of President Trump’s initiatives.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
