Responding to Hamas suspending the hostage exchange agreement with Israel on Monday, convicted felon President Trump told reporters “As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12, I think it’s an appropriate time. I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” emphasizing that all of the hostages must be let go.
“Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on 27 December 2024. As of 10 February 2025, it has an approximately 98 percent chance of safely passing Earth on 22 December 2032. Astronomers are working to reduce our uncertainty about the asteroid’s orbit and rule out any impact risk, but it will fade from view from Earth in a few months’ time, and a small chance of impact may persist until it becomes visible again in 2028. The chance of impact is very slim, and the asteroid is small enough that the effects of any potential impact would be on a local scale, but the situation is significant enough to warrant the attention of the global planetary defence community,” says the ESA.
“Astronomers around the world are using powerful telescopes to measure the asteroid’s orbit as accurately as possible. But knowing its orbit will only tell us if the asteroid could impact Earth, not how significant an impact could be. To accurately assess the hazard posed by asteroid 2024 YR4, we need a more precise estimate of its size. Our current estimate, 40—90 m, has not changed much since the asteroid was first discovered in December 2024, despite many follow-up observations.”
“This is because astronomers are currently limited to studying the asteroid via the visible light it reflects from the Sun. In general, the brighter the asteroid, the larger it is, but this relationship strongly depends on how reflective the asteroid’s surface is. 2024 YR4 could be 40 m across and very reflective, or 90 m across and not very reflective. It is very important that we improve our size estimate for 2024 YR4: the hazard represented by a 40 m asteroid is very different from that of a 90 m asteroid,” the blog post continued. CBS News reports that if it does hit, the impact would be somewhere in the middle latitudes, anywhere from the Arabian Sea to Venezuela.

Yeah, this is pretty fucking crazy… And so is Nancy Mace. Nevertheless, South Carolina political news site FITSnews have obtained a transcript of the unhinged Palmetto State congresswoman’s planned Monday night speech to the US House of Representatives and Mace will accuse ex-fiancee Patrick Bryant of revenge porn – of Mace – and borderline shit with at least one underage girl.
“Senators John Boozman (R-Arkansas) and Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) joined with Sen Mike Crap (R-Indiana) in introducing legislation to ease access to gun suppressors,” says the lede to an article by Arkansas TV station KARK an embarrassing typo calling more attention to Senator Mike Crapo’s embarrassing name. He’s also the senator from Idaho, not Indiana, so they fucked that up too.
Convicted felon President Trump refused to tell Fox News’s Bret Baier that Mike Pence replacement JD Vance was capable of becoming his successor in the 2028 presidential election.
National Zero had been under the mistaken impression that convicted felon President Trump had in 2020 pardoned former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who serving time in federal prison was removed from office over and then criminally convicted of, among other abuses of power, trying to sell an appointment to the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama when he was elected president.
Evidently Trump had simply commuted Blagojevich’s sentence, leaving the conviction on the record. Now just under five years later, Trump’s getting around to a full pardon, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports. For someone who constantly accuses the Democrats of corruption it’s maybe a little incongruous to be freeing then pardoning the most corrupt Democrat of the 21st century.
White nationalist alcoholic Steve Bannon is preparing to enter a plea deal with no prison time for his “We Build the Wall” scam in the New York State-level case, Law360 reports.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffirs on Monday announced that the caucus will be creating a “Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group” to file lawsuits as part of a “multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by” the Trump regime, Politico reports and holy shit they’re just getting to this now? What the fuck, lol.
All this bitching about judges issuing nationwide injunctions – which by the way was cool when it was Joe Biden trying to parole the undocumented spouses of US citizens or wipe out student loan debt – seems to be headed in one direction, that when the Trump regime openly defies a court order (they’re already defying the ones of funding) then the MAGA media audience is already on board.
“The States have presented evidence in this motion that the Defendants in some cases have continued to improperly freeze federal funds and refused to resume disbursement of appropriated federal funds. The Defendants now plea that they are just trying to root out fraud. But the freezes in effect now were a result of the broad categorical order, not a specific finding of possible fraud.”
“The broad categorical and sweeping freeze of federal funds is, as the Court found, likely unconstitutional and has caused and continues to cause irreparable harm to a vast portion of this country. These pauses in funding violate the plain text of the TRO. In response to the Defendants’ arguments, they can request targeted relief from the TRO from this Court where they can show a specific instance where they are acting in compliance with this Order but otherwise withholding funds due to specific authority,” says an order from Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell in the Blue States’ case seeking to unfreeze funding to the National Institutes of Health.
Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s MK party on Monday filed a complaint accusing a white Afrikaner group of treason for spreading disinformation about the Expropriation Act, the signing of which led to convicted felon President Trump responding with sanctions against the country, likely on the orders of demented Afrikaner billionaire Elon Musk, Reuters reports.
“Treason has been committed, we contend, by them, because they are plotting against our government,” said MK’s top member of parliament John Hlophe, just after filing the complaint against white revanchist group AfriForum. “Based on those lies, those fraudulent misrepresentations, Trump decided to issue an executive order against South Africa.” No idea whether the complaint, which is now in the hands of the National Prosecuting Authority, has any teeth to it – as in if this is like an FEC complaint that goes nowhere or if the group could be in deep shit for lying.
Gazan terrorist group Hamas on Monday suspended the release of the several dozen Israeli hostages taken in the October 7th, 2023 attack, freelancer Noga Tarnopolsky reports without elaborating further. It may or may not have something to do with convicted felon President Trump telling Fox News’s Bret Baier he will permanently remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in a clip of the weekend interview that was aired on the propaganda network Monday morning.
Sri Lanka’s Power and Energy Ministry on Sunday said they’ve spanked the entire island nation of 22 million’s electrical grid to collapse after a fight between some monkeys on equipment at the Panadura Power Station that tripped some wires there, leading to a cascading outrage, the Daily Mirror reports. Power was restored hours later as plants were brought back online.
“According to the Ministry, a group of monkeys had jumped into the Panadura Power Station yesterday morning and ended up in a scuffle resulting to one monkey hitting the transmission line leading to an immediate imbalance in the power grid,” the Mirror writes, citing the Ministry.
New Hampshire US District Judge Joseph Laplante on Monday granted the ACLU’s request and ordered a block on convicted felon President Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship from taking effect, the AP reports on the third such rebuke since the fat bastard signed the executive order attempting to unilaterally overturn the Supreme Court’s 1898 decision in the Wong Kim Ark case.

“Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. For this reason, Ranking Member Connolly is interested in information regarding the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Your disclosures can make a difference.”
“To reduce legal risks when disclosing information to the Committee, and to better protect your communications, do not contact us using work resources or while you are at work. Further, consider consulting an attorney experienced in representing whistleblowers before you make a disclosure,” says the intro to a new whistleblower portal set up by House Oversight Dems.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday night, and then adding “The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff. College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the Game?” whatever the hell that means.
The team of men wearing green jerseys from Pennsylvania defeated the team wearing the red jerseys in the national football championship game on Sunday, with the team of the green guys dominating in both offensive and defensive football plays. Many had expected the red jersey team to win as they had previously defeated other teams in the championship game in 2023 and 2024 but this time the green team won by 40 to 22. A “hip-hop” artist had performed during a break in the game and the orange-faced president of the United States watched from within the stadium.
The city that the green team calls home already deployed police to a street anticipating that multiple parked cars would be set on fire by supporters of the green team in celebration of the victory.
