A TIPP survey of North Carolina voters finds Dem former Governor Roy Cooper leading former RNC chair Mike Whatley 48 to 24 percent and that is not a typo. MAGA site Daily Signal literally writes that Cooper “has a commanding 48 percent to 24 percent lead, with 27 percent still undecided.”

The simplest and likeliest explanation is that the pollster left the candidates’ respective parties out of the question, leading to the result that’s probably far more skewed by Whatley’s lack of name ID than anything else. That current Dem Gov Josh Stein’s approval is at 48 percent to 22 percent disapprove and 30 percent undecided track with it in that it seems that roughly the same share of North Carolinians don’t know who leads their state nor the name of his immediate predecessor.

Yes, that’s a sad fucking statement on the electorate, lol, and one that you can be pretty confident in its general accuracy since convicted felon President Trump’s approval is at 39 percent to 53 percent disapprove in the state, similar to most national surveys these days. Yet it says even more about the kind of voter the GOP relies on to put them over the top in an extremely crucial race: Assuming the question indeed was “Who do you plan to vote for in November’s Senate election, Roy Cooper or Mike Whatley?” and not “Who do you plan to vote for in in November’s Senate election, Roy Cooper (Democrat) or Mike Whatley (Republican)?” by literally a 2:1 margin more would-be Dem voters recognized Cooper and affirmed their support for him than MAGA voters did the same for Whatley.

Had the pollster not relied on them to at least think “Wait, Cooper’s a Democrat. I definitely remember that. Okay, so I’m voting for Mike Whatley since he’s a Republican. He’s the fat Black guy who likes trans porn, right? Whatever, still better than a woke Marxist” then you’d probably see something closer to like Cooper 49 to Whatley 43 in the head-to-head. Instead (probably) thanks to slightly bad polling design we ended up getting a uniquely valuable blind taste test result.

And if this is too much speculation for you then by all means let’s hear why Cooper leads by 24.

European automakers took a beating in trading Monday over the threat of a US-EU trade war over Greenland, CNBC reports. Germany’s Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz Group stood between 2.5 percent to 3 percent lower, while Milan-listed shares of Ferraridipped around 2.2 percent, notching a 52-week low. Germany’s Porsche fell 3.2 percent on the simmering turmoil.

Remember when “Deplorables” was like the greatest political faux pas in history? Funny that.

Among one of Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first acts in office over the weekend was her rescission of her Republican predecessor Glenn Youngkin’s executive order commanding all local law enforcement to work with ICE, WWBT reports on elections having consequences.

The Greenland Dog Sledding Association on Sunday publicly unvited convicted felon President Trump’s “envoy” to the territory, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, from the spectator stands of its big annual Avannaata Qimussersua race, Politico EU reports on the second such unvitation from a MAGA emissary in as many years. Last March, Second Lady Usha Vance was unvited from a different race.

I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.

If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice…

— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) January 19, 2026

“If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails,” Pam continued making noises after the cutoff of the above embed.

“There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday night. The first part of his rant’s technically a full sentence that also puts a burden on the reader to comprehend that he meant something more along the lines of “There is alleged to have been as much as 19 billion dollars stolen in Minnesota Somalia Fraud,” which no one’s actually alleging because that’s a full order of magnitude more than any reasonable or informed estimates.

However it’s the next part, the whining about “Illhan Omar,” that’s actually the real “fuck you” to his fanboys: The “She should be in jail” is such a nakedly limp dick admission in a world where he’s supposed to be the supreme arbiter of justice in America, his power unquestioned and unimpeded.

And yet here he is, shitposting idly and having no more agency over the matter than the median mentally ill 79 year-old racist who watches too much Fox News. Right, wrong, constrained by the reality that his loyal federal prosecutors have yet to find anything on her – if they’re even trying, who the hell knows – it doesn’t matter because this is not the “retribution” he promised them for years and the “should” packs so much of that state of failure into one single word. To MAGAmerica there’s no difference between that and say, firing Pam Bondi for failing to bring Omar to “justice” for marrying her brother and personally stealing $19 billion from public coffers blah blah blah.

The death toll from a collision between two high speed passenger trains in Spain’s Andalusia region on Sunday increased to 39 as rescuers continued combing through the wreckage that resulted from a derailment of the tail-end of one Madrid-bound train that slammed into another headed in the opposite direction, the AP reports. The second train then tumbled down a steep hill.

“It is likely (more bodies will be found) when you look at the mass of metal that is there. The firefighters have done a great job, but unfortunately when they get the heavy machinery to lift the carriages it is probable we will find more,” Andalusia regional president Juanma Moreno said. “Here at ground zero, when you look at this mass of twisted iron, you see the violence of the impact.”

Among the various cronies and scumbags who were pardoned and/or freed from prison this week by convicted felon President Trump such as corrupt ex-Puerto Rico Gov Wanda Vazquez Garced and her accomplice Julio Herrera Velutini – whose daughter donated $1 million to a Trump PAC ahead of the amnesty – was a sleeper hit commutation for Arkansas meth dealer James Womack.

The hillbilly drug trafficker was a little under two years’ into his eight year bid for distribution when the Orange God Emperor sprung him on Friday because for his friends everything, for his enemies the law, as Crystal Jim’s father is none other than MAGA Congressman Steve Womack. A Trump White House minion told the Daily Beast that it was “humanitarian” because Womack’s wife has abdominal cancer and his other son effectively disabled from a serious seizure disorder.

Okay, sure. They’re in a rough spot. So are plenty of other federal inmates’ families and the fact that they’re even fucking pretending this was strictly based on those circumstances – with Womack telling the New York Times that Trump’s “gracious and thoughtful action” has “allowed my son to be with his family during a profoundly difficult time” – rather than the fact that his dad’s a loyal Trump ballsucker actually makes it kinda worse, right? Should’ve just made some shit up about James going to do work for a meth addiction support organization or something like that, made it about contrition and reform – instead of Steve Womack needing to stay in the House’s tiny GOP majority rather than resign to take care of his wife and son because the meth dealer’s in the clink.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime is preparing as many as 1,500 active duty troops for deployment in Minneapolis to stand around, look intimidating, and not much else, Fox News reports.

Remember when it was a joke to suspect someone with power over you was “Deep State”? Haha!

Convicted felon President Trump on Saturday posted a 400+ word scream at Western Europe for failing to submit to his unstoppable iron determination to acquire Greenland for his empire:

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back – World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable.”

A number of individual MAGA voters who responded to the Associated Press and NORC’s national survey from earlier this week were subsequently interviewed and asked to elaborate on how they thought things were going, like 64 year-old John Candela, of New Rochelle, New York, who said the cost of living is the same, his income hasn’t increased, and bills haven’t gone down.

“Still paying $5 for Oreos,” said Candela, who did not name the price point for the iconic cookie brand he’d had expected a standard 13.6 ounce pack to be by this point when he’d cast a ballot for convicted felon President Trump back in November 2024. Yet Candela’s willing to be patient, telling an AP reporter “I would expect it to be different by the time his four years are up,” as if it remains necessary for him to lie to himself and someone he’s never met before about stupid Trump.

“I don’t like the man as a human being. I don’t like his brashness. I don’t like his roughness. I don’t like how he types out his texts all capital as if he’s yelling at everybody. But what I approve of is what he is doing to try and get the country on track,” Candela then added, not actually saying how he appreciates the “trying” if Oreos are still $5 a pack at wherever he buys his groceries.

These are dark times for our Nation, as CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports that the Trump Regime’s Department of Injustice have opened criminal investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Nothing like this has ever happened to a governor or mayor in the United States before. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced “investigation” into the two elected officials is not necessary or appropriate.

It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical MAGA Republicans who desperately don’t Frey to run for Senate in 2030, who will likewise do anything to stop Democrats and Liberals in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries. Sadly, America has now become one of those Countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. The political persecution of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has been going on for years, with the now fully debunked Somalia, Somalia, Somalia Hoax, the fake “Tampon Tim” Hoax, and so much more, it just never ends.

It is political targeting at the highest level! Donald Trump was allowed to run for president again after inciting a violent assault on Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold him accountable. He even took classified documents, and other items from the White House. Walz and Frey stood up to ICE’s brutality, fought to protect Minnesotans, and truly delivered for the state, like we have never seen before. The MAGA establishment hates it. Now, as they watch Democrat candidates win big special election victories, and see their dominance in all polls, they are trying to stop them, and the Democratic Party, once more. The lawlessness, political persecution, and Witch Hunt must be exposed and stopped. Walz and Frey will continue to fight for the Great Minnesotan People!

National Zero will resume our regular coverage after mad-libbing this August 8, 2022 Trump statement to use to report the very real news about the “investigation” into Walz and Frey.

“The US Department of Education (the Department) today announced that it will delay the implementation of involuntary collections on federal student loans, including Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) and the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). The temporary delay will enable the Department to implement major student loan repayment reforms under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act (the Act) to give borrowers more options to repay their loans. These reforms, which include simplifying repayment options and providing an additional opportunity for borrowers to rehabilitate their federal student loans, reflect the Trump Administration’s commitment to provide better support for current and future borrowers in repayment,” says the World Wrestling Entertainment former CEO-led US Department of Education in a pretty goddamned obvious bitch-out from inflicting needless suffering when they’re pretending to lower the cost of living for voters.

“In Minnesota, the Troublemakers, Agitators, and Insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals. The Governor and Mayor don’t know what to do, they have totally lost control, and our currently being rendered, USELESS! If, and when, I am forced to act, it will be solved, QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY! President DJT” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday.

Act then, fat tits. Those protestors aren’t going to stop cashing their Soros checks on their own.

A new Marist College national survey finds “36 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is handling the economy. 57 percent disapprove, and 7 percent are unsure. President Trump’s approval rating on the economy is unchanged from last month (36 percent),” while “38 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is performing in office. 56 percent disapprove, and 6 percent are unsure. The President’s job approval rating is unchanged from 38 percent in December of 2025. Americans are twice as likely to strongly disapprove of how the President is doing his job (47 percent) than to strongly approve (23 percent),” and goddamn those 23 percent are extra sad.
