Burger Kings hoarding pennies and other
stores rounding up — as US phases out
one-cent coins
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 11/6/2025 7:48:33 AM
Burger Kings are among the many cash-heavy businesses around the US grappling with the phaseout of the penny — with one group of the fast-food joints reportedly hoarding the coins by the box since President Trump ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting them earlier this year. Businessman Gary Andrzejewski told The Wall Street Journal that the Burger Kings he operates in Baltimore have stockpiled 30 boxes of pennies so far. “I don’t think anyone has any idea of what they are doing right now,” he was quoted as saying. He said since his armored car service stopped dropping off pennies to his Baltimore stores, he has saved up

You’ve never heard of Joe Tache, but chances are that over the next year, you will hear a little more about him for all the wrong reasons. Although the 30-year-old Northeastern University graduate is running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts to unseat incumbent Democrat Ed Markey, we surprisingly know very little about him at this stage. According to his website, he is running as a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). He’s a bearded Millennial who favors Malcolm X-style glasses. He’s been “a youth worker, community organizer, and socialist based in Boston. For over ten years, Joe has been part

Mayor Jacob Frey Delivers Victory Speech

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) recently won reelection, but his victory speech has drawn criticism.
Video footage shows Frey speaking to a crowd in Somali and appeared to thank those who voted for him, addressing “the great people of Minneapolis,” Fox News reported Saturday.
“And I say that very intentionally, because no matter where you are from, Minneapolis should be a place where you are proud to call home,” he added.
However, social media users criticized Frey’s use of the foreign language, one person writing, “How embarrassing. This is America.” "This dude faked cried at Floyd’s funeral, got booed out of his own town, threw his cops under the bus, & is now
The Democratic Socialists of America’s Big Apple chapter will push Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to implement a virulently anti-Israel agenda, leaked documents show.
Included in the NYC-DSA’s “Anti-War Working Group” list of a dozen “demands” for the incoming is an end all city contracts with companies doing business with Israel, and withdrawing all funds from banks lending money to the Jewish state, according to a planning document first exposed by Just The News.
The five-page screed was distributed at the group’s Nov. 2 public meeting, and reveals the DSA’s NYC chapter has been plotting since at least late September on how to best to ensure the pro-Palestine, Israel-hating Mamdani fully supports
Just about every month Rama Duwaji, the coy artist wife of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, makes a list of the things that “make me want to make art.” On October 9, as her husband continued with his frenetic campaign for office, those inspirations included “the relief work on the facade of the Grand Central Terminal” and the patterns of a Jacquard loom,” an 1805 weaving machine.
A few days later, Duwaji, 28 — who was born in Texas but identifies as Syrian — included a post in her Instagram stories which may have shocked some of her followers, for it was in stark contrast
With the federal shutdown into its second month, left-wing corporate media have invested no little energy in bemoaning the effect of the now unprecedentedly long shutdown on more than 670,000 furloughed federal employees, and the more than 730,000 others working without pay.
CNN last month reported on struggling federal workers whose emergency funds had evaporated, while the Associated Press reported: “Federal workers endure financial strain and fear layoffs as the government shutdown drags on.” An Oct. 27 commentary on MSNBC blamed President Trump and House Republicans for “abandoning federal workers who have now missed two paychecks.”
Germany's grand “Muslim Miracle” was supposed to save the country’s future. Instead, it broke it into a million pieces. About ten years ago, German leaders sold their citizens on a utopian plan: import millions of young Muslims to flood the workforce, rescue a collapsing pension system, and secure the nation’s prosperity for generations. The theory sounded far-fetched and absurd, but Germans bought into it. However, the reality was a total disaster. Fast-forward to today, and Germany is now raising its retirement age to 70. The German people were lied to. The plan to rebuild the workforce through mass immigration didn’t just fail; it cratered. It didn’t revive the economy
President Donald Trump has named Andrea Lucas as chair of the country’s top workplace civil rights agency, the agency announced Thursday. The move signals a vote of confidence for Lucas’s efforts to stamp out diversity programs and protect freedom of religion in the workplace. First nominated to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2020 during Trump’s first administration, Lucas was confirmed in July for a second five-year term. Democratic lawmakers strongly opposed Lucas’ confirmation, accusing her of politicizing the agency against Congress’s intent and undermining workers’ civil rights.
Republican lawmakers praised her leadership, especially her commitment to rolling back Biden-era guidance on workplace policies related to transgenderism
The woman who posted flyers exposing White House adviser Stephen Miller’s address and calling for "NO NAZIS" in Northern Virginia is a harmless academic "in the field of peace studies," her lawyer claimed.
On Sept. 11, a day after conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was killed by a politically motivated assassin, Barbara Wien, a retired 66-year-old American University professor, posted the flyers around Miller’s Arlington neighborhood showing a photo of the Trump adviser in a red circle with a cross through it. They also included a QR code that linked to the Instagram account of Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity, an activist group that has praised Antifa and left chalk messages outside

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is opening up hiring to an array of personnel, including those who left during the administration of President Joe Biden, to sustain the success of CBP under President Donald Trump, a top adviser tells Breitbart News.
Breitbart News caught up with Senior Adviser Ron Vitiello, who formerly served as chief of border patrol and acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, on Thursday in the nation’s capital.
“There’s a lot going on” at CBP, Vitiello said. “The Reconciliation gives us an opportunity to hire a lot more frontline personnel, some office staff, as well as professional staff. But the story at the border is even better.”
For most Americans, a U.S. lawmaker with onerous student loan debt pushing for debt forgiveness would be viewed as a conflict of interest. For at least one U.S. representative, it’s apparently a non-issue — and the American Accountability Foundation is livid about it. According to the Daily Wire, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has been accused by the watchdog group over a number of issues. In a scathing letter sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson, American Accountability Foundation President Thomas Jones outed Omar’s dubious finances — and “bully” reputation. “We are writing today to share serious concerns about abuse of office and abuse of government loans
War Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to address a number of top defense companies on Friday to outline a potential overhaul to the procurement process amid persistent delays and waste in contract deliveries.
The meeting is intended to outline a sweeping set of acquisition reforms to top-level executives at America’s top industry titans, such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies, among many others. The industry titans have long suffered from delays to delivering on contracts to the Pentagon, often to the tune of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. "The core principle of this transformation is simple: place accountable decision makers as close as possible to program execution, eliminate
What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor. As Scott Jennings says, good luck, New York… A mayor who believes criminals are the “real victims” and police are the oppressors. This issue is about assimilation, or the lack of it. New York City doesn’t belong to any Muslims, and stunts like this don’t create

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's wife, television writer Molly McNearney, revealed that she has lost relationships with some of her Trump-voting family members on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast on Thursday. Following her husband's spat with President Donald Trump over his show being temporarily suspended in September, McNearney told the podcast hosts that she felt betrayed after some of her family members voted for the current president. (Snip) "I've sent many emails to family, like right before the election, saying, 'I'm begging you. Here's the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don't," she recalled. "And I

Former President Joe Biden, wearing a seemingly fresh bandage on his head, told Nebraska Democrats Friday that his late son should have been elected commander-in-chief in 2020, not himself, in a speech ripping President Trump. (Snip) “When the love of my life, my oldest son, the attorney general of the state of Delaware – who should’ve been the president, not me – volunteered to go to Iraq for a year, didn’t have to, he came back with stage four glioblastoma because he lived in a burn pit just like those guys did on 9/11, and he died,” the 46th president
A federal judge has permanently blocked President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland.
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the 106-page ruling on Friday for the lawsuit filed after Trump sent troops to secure U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
The state of Oregon, the city of Portland, and the state of California sued Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Defense Secretary Kristi Noem. [Tweets]
The ruling said that there wasn't enough violence at the protests to require the National Guard, and local police broke up the fights.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her husband Paul Pelosi have raked in more than $130 million in stock profits over the course of her congressional career, a report said. That’s a return of 16,930% over nearly four decades representing California, according to the New York Post.
The figure comes as Pelosi, 85, announced this week that she will not be seeking re-election after completing her current term in 2027.

An NYPD exodus is already underway, with a surge of officers quitting in the month leading up to anti-cop socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win — and more might go if Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch exits, according to data and department sources.
The NYPD saw a 35% hike in cops of all ranks leaving in October – 245 police officers compared to 181 in the same month last year, according to Police Pension Fund data.
“Morale is down because everyone is concerned about the policies Mamdani wants to put in place,” said Detectives Endowment Association President Scott Munro.
In a series of statements from his Truth Social account, President Trump is recommending that congress bypass the subsides for insurance companies and instead send the funds directly to the healthcare consumers who can negotiate with their healthcare providers. I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people,

To Be Mistakes’ 13 replies
An election official in Maricopa County, Arizona, on Friday downplayed the discovery of roughly 2,288 ballot envelopes that were misplaced by poll workers and discovered days after the election. Two bins containing the envelopes with ballots were improperly left in a ballot drop box on Election Day, according to ABC 15, and were discovered three days later.
The sealed bins were processed and tabulated within hours of their discovery. Of those, about 30 envelopes showed evidence of signature verification issues, according to AZ Central, and it was unclear how many remained unresolved and uncounted by the deadline.
Providence, R.I. - The federal judge who ordered President Trump to continue paying food-stamp benefits owes his fortune to cigarettes and Democratic political ties forged in Rhode Island. During the confirmation process in 2011, U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. disclosed that he would collect $2.5 million to $3.5 million per year in fees through 2024 for his role in helping to negotiate the $240 million national tobacco settlement in 1998.
As awful as the mayoral election outcome was for sensible New Yorkers, misguided Washington Republicans plan to use the results as a club to further punish the city.
If they succeed in hitting Gotham with enormous financial penalties for electing socialist radical Zohran Mamdani, the GOP wackos will end up penalizing all 8 million New Yorkers, including the 1 million who rejected Mamdani to vote for other candidates.
The efforts also could turn Mamdani into a martyr, which would boost his popularity and inspire far-leftist copycat candidates across America.
Another unintended consequence of the daffy congressional effort could be the death of the election chances of one of their own.
