Rapey Scientologist Danny Masterson, who played “Hyde” on classic sitcom That 70’s Show, on Wednesday walked out of court a free man, for now at least, on charges he sexually assaulted three women, all of whom were members of the evil Hollywood cult at the time, after the jury deadlocked.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo declared a mistrial and set a new trial date for March. Let us all pray to Lord Xenu that His will is honored by the next jury.
Wednesday marks one year since National Zero ditched our original model of copying and pasting text from articles on other news websites for our content. Aside from specific items like press releases, official statements, court documents, and other circumstances, the last 365 days of articles have been 100% original (except for that one day in May when my keyboard shit out).
Oh and then there’s the “articles” that are tweets, videos, screenshots, Truth Social posts, et cetera-only. Those obviously aren’t original content. But all that aside, minus the quotes we lift from the articles we source, we can say with pride that the text content of National Zero has been almost entirely originally composed for the past year. Almost no exceptions. Very, very few of them.
Now we’re not going to badmouth PoliticalWire.com at all here given how much we owe Taegan Goddard for pioneering this format. He probably wasn’t first, but we have yet to see anyone better at delivering a rapid fire, quick update experience better than he has. And he’s freaking fast too. Rarely do the shitheels at The Hill get to aggregating a big story before he does.
A Fulton County, Georgia judge on Wednesday ruled that state Republican Party chairman David Shafer has to get his own lawyer separate from the rest of the fake Trump 2020 electors amid the grand jury investigation targeting them for their failed attempt to defraud voters, the AP reports.
Shafer and 10 of the 16 fake electors are being represented by Kimberly Debrow and Holly Pierson, two lawyers paid by the state party as they face potential indictment. The move to separate the counsels by the Fulton DA’s office could possibly indicate prosecutors are looking to have the lower-level MAGA scumbags flip and testify against Shafer for his crimes.
Dems on the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday finally obtained disgraced former President Trump’s tax returns from the IRS, ending a nearly four year battle, CNN reports. It’s not clear what if anything the public will learn about the contents of the returns given that there’s just over a month left until Republicans take over the committee and probably burn the documents.
The December 1st deadline to apply for this spring’s Senate Page Program is coming up quick! Alaskans, if you are a high school junior between 16-17 years old with at least a 3.0 GPA – or you know someone who might be interested – visit my website below. https://t.co/K7xJ8GmoA2

What the hell is this 3.0 minimum GPA? Congress is filled with complete morons and probably plenty more who cheated their way to get good grades. Such flagrant elitist snobbery.
New ISIS leader Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi will take over after former leader Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi was killed under unclear circumstances, Reuters reports. An ISIS spokesman wrote on Telegram that Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi’s death was killed while “fighting the enemies of Allah,” which kind of doesn’t really narrow it down. Pretty much everyone else is an enemy of Allah these days as far as ISIS is concerned.
It’s not known what if any kind of changes the new Al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi Administration has in store for the Islamic State after the Al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi Administration’s six months in power, most of which was spent getting settled in following the similarly abrupt end of the Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi Administration in March. Might be best for Al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi to just stick to the fundamentalisms: firm commitments to religious non-liberty, suppressing women’s rights, Koran-based education, and Sharia Law and Order. That’s the kind of message that appeals to the Average Mohammed. And if it doesn’t, just behead him.
The European Union has warned Twitter’s new owner that his decisions to eliminate much of post moderation could lead to the app being barred in the EU, calling his decisions to allow people previously banned for harassment, threats and hate speech, the Financial Times reports.
Recently, the EU passed the Digital Services Act, a landmark regulation that lays out responsible practices for online services that outlines requirements companies must follow to operate in the EU, including responsible and reasonable moderation of social media posts.
Musk has decimated Twitter. He’s dismissed the teams responsible for comment moderation, and reports paint a picture of a company in disarray as Musk kowtows to right-wing extremism who want to invade the app to spew hate-filled, vile comments.
The Ukrainian Air Force were able to save their planes and punk the shit out of the Russians by simply taking aerial pics of the damage from previous attacks, printing them out on large sheets, and then putting the sheets up as covers housing the planes, according to a lengthly white paper by a British military think thank assessing Ukrainian tactics so far in the war.
“The poor Russian battle damage assessment process made the Russian military highly vulnerable to deception, which has been consistent throughout the conflict. Early strikes on Ukrainian airfields, for example, destroyed many hangars. By photographing this damage and printing the resulting pattern on to sheets, it became possible to clear the rubble and erect covers for aircraft to return to the site, sheltering in positions that the Russians would confirm as destroyed. This led – somewhat amusingly – to the Russians debating whether Ukrainian fighter aircraft were operating from subterranean shelters at several sites. Repeated strikes on dummy air-defence positions also saw a considerable wastage of ammunition, while Ukrainian troops could confirm that sites were destroyed over the radio even when they were still functioning, causing Russian aircraft to ignore air-defence systems in their mission planning. The already-publicly reported use of dummy HIMARS (high mobility artillery rocket system) later in the war to lure Russian fires is indicative of the systematic use of deception to ensure survivability by the UAF, and it has proven widely effective,” says the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies paper titled “Preliminary Lessons in Conventional Warfighting from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: February–July 2022.”
The Democratic causus in the House elected New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries to be the Party leader for the upcoming session, taking over for Nancy Pelosi who is stepping down from her leadership position, the Washington Post reports.
The woman who tells men in Finland what to do visited the woman in New Zealand who tells men what to do for an apparently productive bilateral summit on Wednesday. The two women who tell men what to do discussed a broad range of topics of interest to their jobs telling men (and some women) what to do, such as the problems a man caused in Ukraine, problems a man caused in China, problems a man caused in Iran, and protecting the environment in Antarctica.
During a joint press conference a man reporter asked if the two women were meeting “just because you’re similar in age and got a lot of common stuff there, when you got into politics and stuff,” to which the New Zealand woman who tells men what to do responded, “We, of course, have a higher proportion of men in politics, it’s reality. Because two women meet, it is not simply because of their gender.” The woman who tells men what to do in Finland then said “Yeah, now we are meeting because we are prime ministers, of course,” but did not add “You’re not a prime minister.”
Big time QAnon influencer Phil Godlewski, who has made himself kind of rich shilling some silver coin multilevel marketing scam to his moronic fans, inadvertently revealed himself to be a “groomer” who in 2008 developed a sexual relationship with a 15 year old girl after her boyfriend committed suicide, for which he was later convicted of corrupting a minor, the Daily Beast reports.
Godlewski, who in 2008 was a 25 year-old baseball coach at a high school outside Pittsburgh, who “comforted” a 15 year-old freshman girl in the wake of her boyfriend’s death. The future QAnon scam tycoon began showering her with gifts like a $2,800 pair of earrings and sent her as many as 300 text messages in a single day, according to an affidavit filed by the victim this year. “Realized that you’re only 15, but quickly stopped caring,” Godlewski wrote in one message. He was later indicted on a shit ton of charges, but the victim stopped cooperating with police after Godlweski threatened to her to kill himself, prompting a plea deal on the single corruption of a minor charge for which the Trump fanboy only served three months house arrest in 2010.
The best part of the story is that this all only came out when a small eastern Pennsylvania newspaper dug up the plea record earlier this year. Naturally Godlewski sued for defamation, which prompted the victim to file her affidavit in the case laying out in all the lurid detail once again these QAnon sons of bitches are pretty much everything they say they’re fighting against.
Scream at the sky libtards! CNBC reports shares of leftist tech company CrowdStrike fell 17% in pre-market trading Wednesday on disappointing earnings results. “Go woke, go broke” has never been truer for investors in the company that covered up Hillary and the DNC’s 2016 server shenanigans.
It’s definitely karma for not letting Trump see the server that “the Russians” supposedly hacked and dumped a bunch of emails showing John Podesta liked “pizza.” Lots of people are saying CrowdStrike acid-washed those emails, it’s only fair that their stock price gets acid-washed too.
National Zero will resume our regular coverage now that we’ve given our MAGA readers a vague feeling of cosmic vindication of their grievances. We hope they enjoyed this business news update.
Early vote turnout in the Georgia runoff between pro-choice-for-his-girlfriends Texas man Herschel Walker and incumbent Dem Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock hit a record 309,083, the highest ever single-day early vote turnout total ever in the Peach State, Axios reports.
“Well, [Tiktok] is digital fentanyl because it’s highly addictive, ah, it’s also therefore deadly,” Republican Wisconsin Congressman and youth soccer coach who really wants to take the kids for ice cream Mike Gallagher tells sentient wind sock Laura Ingraham, not understanding how analogies work. “For all the reasons you laid out in your, ah, monologue. Ah, our youth are at risk of increased isolation, suicide, depression, anxiety, those numbers are through the roof. And finally, ah, like fentanyl, the precursors date back to China, right?”
I think I lost three IQ points transcribing this nonsense.
The first piece of legislation proposed by the new conservative provincial premier of Alberta, Canada would essentially allow the premier’s cabinet to cancel any laws passed by the Parliament in Ottawa the provincial legislature disliked, CBC News reports.
The legislation, the first introduced by new Conservative Party Premier Danielle Smith, who took office last month, would allow her cabinet to alter, negate any law passed by Ottawa that it feels overreaches the federal government power or spends too much money from Alberta taxpayers. Essentially, Alberta would have veto power to anything the cabinet–but really, just the governor–didn’t want enacted in Alberta, but still have all the benefits of the federal government like roads, defense and infrastructure.
“I hope we never have to use this bill,” Smith said following the legislation’s introduction. “I hope that we’ve sent a message to Ottawa that we will vigorously defend our constitutional areas of jurisdiction and they should just butt out.”
An employee who was at the Chesapeake, Virginia Walmart where the manager shot and killed six employees before turning the gun on himself has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the big box retailer for negligence, saying she filed complaints with the company about his bizarre behavior, CNN reports. Besides the six fatalities, four people were injured.
Donya Prioleau, an overnight stocker and trainer at the store, would frequently work with night manager Andre Bing who opened fire at the store on the morning of November 22nd, sent numerous complaints detailing bizarre and inappropriate comments made by Bing. Reportedly, he would smile wryly when he asked if they had completed active shooting training. He would ask employees if they used or owned guns. At one point, he told a number of people about intentionally running over a turtle with a lawn mower.
“Despite Mr. Bing’s long-standing pattern of disturbing and threatening behavior, Walmart did not enact any preventative measures to keep Walmart customers and employees safe,” the complaint says, noting that bullets flew by her face as her manager opened fire with a gun he had bought that morning.
Robin Vos, Republican Speaker of the Wisconsin state Assembly, who last summer said fat former President Trump called him demanding to overturn the 2020 election result in the state (which isn’t actually possible), will testify Wednesday to the House January 6th Committee, NBC News reports.
Vos had tried to weasel out of testifying even after defeating a MAGA primary challenger sent by Trump. It’s not clear why he’s sitting now after trying to fight the subpoena.
White nationalist ghoul Stephen Miller testified Tuesday to the grand jury investigating disgraced former President Trump’s failed attempt to overturn his humiliating loss to Joe Biden, CNN reports.
The Senate breaks out in applause after voting 61-36 to pass the federal recognition of same-sex marriage, with only Republicans voting against it and 11 members of the GOP voting with all Democrats to ensure the federal government recognizes all marriages. The House had passed the bill earlier, so it will go to President Biden’s desk for his signature.
