US employers, having seen Trump beating Biden by 11 percent in the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll and far ahead of the competition in the GOP primary, felt confident enough in September to add 336,000 jobs in anticipation of the greatest economy president ever being sworn into office again in 15 months. They also increased wages by 4.2 percent over 3.7 percent inflation just to give your wallet a sweet happy memory of what it was like. Your wallet misses Trump.

The polls numbers are really the only explanation for the phenomenal job growth and only some Soros Antifa fake news queer loser is going to try to tell you otherwise. It’s leftist propaganda and it should be illegal. Business owners know Trump. They love him so much. They’re excited to see him come back and that’s why they’re hiring and raising wages. The enthusiasm is just incredible.

National Zero will resume our regular coverage after spinning up some MAGA-friendly economic news for our right wing readers and their sentient wallets. We hope they enjoyed this update.

In a recording of a recent private online meeting with well-heeled conservative donors obtained by NBC News, MAGA Congressmen Matt Gaetz and Matt Rosendale told the attendees their party’s supposedly still ongoing efforts to impeach President Biden are a stupid waste of time.

“I don’t believe that we are endeavoring upon a legitimate impeachment of Joe Biden… They’re trying to engage in a, like, ‘forever war’ of impeachment. And like many of our forever wars, it will drag on forever and end in a bloody draw,” said Gaetz last week, before he put it somewhat more gently with addressing the House during debate on his ultimately successful motion to eject Kevin McCarthy from the speakership. “I just don’t get the sense that it’s for the sake of impeachment. I think it’s for the sake of having another bad thing to say about Joe Biden,” Gaetz continued.

Rosendale likened the impeachment to Hunter Biden’s prosecution, saying both were a “smokescreen” meant to hide or distract from more serious crimes committed by the wayward son and the rest of the Biden family. Separately the Messenger obtained a clip from the same Zoom meeting in which Rosendale told the donors he had “prayed” for a small GOP majority ahead of the 2022 midterms – rather than a red wave to give them a margin of dozens of seats in the House.

Republican groups and donors opposed to disgraced former President Trump are throwing in the towel en masse as the fat bastard continues to steamroll all opposition in the GOP 2024 primary, conceding that his appeal to the hicks in the party’s base is simply unbreakable, Axios reports.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier will moderate a speakership wrestling match between Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise on Monday night, Punchbowl News reports. The debate will not actually be televised and it’s only for Republican House members and staff which… Christ, this is so freaking stupid.

Like how fucking Fox News-brained do you need to be to call one of their guys in to moderate a non-public debate? Now sure, from a distance you can see how it’s obviously beneficial for Baier because it’s an access thing and he can report exclusively on it afterward. Fox would no doubt prefer to have live cameras in the room when this is happening, though this is definitely still worth it for them. As much as we mock Fox News here we do not at all question the call on their end.

The House GOP though… This speaks so much to their mindset, that in a closed forum with only their own side in the audience they still need to act like they’re on TV to the point where they literally bring in a guy who moderates televised debates. It’s easy to imagine that – on top of viewers not actually having a direct say in the outcome – a big part of the reason why this isn’t on TV is because there’s going to be too much inside baseball shit and arcane parliamentary issues that most of the audience would just doze off for. If that’s the case then what makes them think Baier is going to be fluent enough in those topics to ask the right questions? And if they’re just going to feed him the questions then what’s the goddamned point of having him there? This shit is just bizarre.

“The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize 2023 to Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all. This year’s peace prize also recognises the hundreds of thousands of people who, in the preceding year, have demonstrated against Iran’s theocratic regime’s policies of discrimination and oppression targeting women. The motto adopted by the demonstrators – ‘Woman – Life – Freedom’ – suitably expresses the dedication and work of Narges Mohammadi,” says the Nobel Committee in a statement announcing fat former President Trump has been passed over again, even though he’s been nominated repeatedly by right wing politicians across the globe.

You will not be surprised to learn that GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s story about two protestors ramming his campaign’s vehicle in Grinnell, Iowa on Thursday afternoon was just an accident that had nothing to do with the hecklers, with cops telling the Des Moines register in a statement that the driver “stated she was not in the area to protest, she did not know who the vehicle she struck belonged to, she did not intentionally back into the vehicle, and she did not flee the scene of the accident.” Lefty protestors had indeed been hounding Ramaswamy about his anti-Ukraine stance around the same time, but the minor fender-bender was merely a coincidence.

Farther-right primary challengers looking to take down incumbent House GOP members next year now have a potentially serious line of attack: loser former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s endorsement is now like a scarlet letter among anti-“establishment” MAGA voters, Politico reports.

“Voters don’t want a McCarthy Republican,” Joe Earley, who’s taking on McCarthyite West Virginia Congressman Alex Mooney. “They want a true conservative, and this situation has exposed how poor a job that McCarthy has done and that my opponent has refused to reject his endorsement.”

As his Florida federal trial on stealing national security secrets and storing them in the bathroom at his supper club, Donald Trump has notified the National Archives and Records Administration that alleged co-conspirator Mark Meadows, disgraced propagandist John Solomon, and a half dozen others are no longer his official representatives designated to work with the government historians, Politico reports.

“With this letter, I designate Todd Blanche, Esq. and M. Evan Corcoran, Esq. as my representatives in all respects that pertain to access to the records of my Presidency,” Trump wrote in a letter to NARA. “This letter supersedes all prior correspondence on this topic in that the representatives named herein are not in addition to, but replace, any prior designee.”

It’s rather difficult to understand why Trump continued with the same designated representatives when they clearly did not fulfill their obligations to obstruct any problems with the government, and now Mr. Trump is facing unjust charges because of their carelessness.

“We had a strong Day 4, we’ve had a strong week despite the situation that we’ve been put in, um, y’know, this court which we strongly believe we shouldn’t’ve been in,” lawyer whose fees apparently including highlighting her hair as her client demands Alina Habba says on a second tier conservative talk network.  “We’ve been fighting hard and I gotta tell you, their key witness, y’know, came up, he- he said frankly everything I wanted him to say.  I heard it perfectly and I looked over and– I think we’re doing very well, and it’s not going to go so well for Letitia James because at the end of the day, the Trump Organization did nothing wrong and they’re using a consumer fraud statute inappropriately against a private business.  It’s not supposed to happen and it’s a very scary precedent for New Yorkers, I’ll tell ya that, Greg.”

Habba fails to mention two key points:  the case is being heard as a bench trial, without a jury, because she and her colleagues on Trump’s legal team reportedly did not request one.  Second, Trump has already lost a key part of the case, with the judge having ruled that Trump et al had committed fraud.  The rest of the case is damage control as they attempt to limit the impending judgment against the Trump criminal organization.

Just had a great conversation with President Trump about the Speaker’s race.

He is endorsing Jim Jordan, and I believe Congress should listen to the leader of our party.

I fully support Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.

It shouldn’t be a question that Trump would simultaneously tease a stint as temporary Speaker, as is being pushed by the likes of Marjie Greene and even Sean Hannity–with Trump even going so far as claiming he’ll make an appearance in DC next week as the candidates for the race hold a closed-door forum for the GOP caucus.  But we knew he didn’t really want the job.  It requires actual work.

UPDATE 10/6/2023 4:25 AM EDT: Donald officially endorsed his spandex-wearing loyalist.

Apparently with enough on his proverbial legal plate–not to be confused with his McDonald’s tray–multi-market indicted felon Donald Trump has dropped his $500 million defamation lawsuit against his former attorney and Stormy subsidizer Michael Cohen, CBS News reports..

According to Trump’s frivolous lawsuit, Cohen made disparaging remarks against Trump, violated attorney-client privilege and enriched himself by charging Trump improper fees, meriting $500 million for The Donald’s pain and suffering–curiously twice the amount New York Attorney General Letitia James seeks in her civil fraud lawsuit.

“Given that President Trump is required to sit for deposition in a civil matter on Columbus Day, when he is scheduled to be in the Great State of New Hampshire, and while the President is fighting against the meritless claims that have been lodged against him in New York, Washington D.C., Florida, and Georgia, as well as continuing his winning campaign, where he is leading the Republicans by 60 points and Crooked Joe Biden by 11 points, to serve as our next President of the United States, President Trump has decided to temporarily pause his meritorious claims against Michael Cohen,” his campaign said in a statement.

More than 150 people have been killed in two separate attacks in nations torn apart by war.  According to the BBC, 51 civilians were killed in Hroza, a Ukrainian village in Kharkiv Oblast, while attending a funeral for other villagers killed in an earlier missile attack.  Officials say the fatalities account for more than 20% of the remaining population of the village.

In the Syria conflict, more than 100 people were killed when an explosive drone struck a graduation ceremony at a military academy in the city of Homs.  Most of those killed were the family of the graduates, including women and children.  The government has not identified which of the various violent factions in the country conducted the attack.

Thanks to a federal judicial system that still largely works, the state of Alabama will have a different Congressional map that will likely swing another of the state’s seven House seats to Democrats, the Washington Post reports.  The three-judge panel had to choose the map because the Republican state legislature refused to comply with a Supreme Court order that required a new map that created a second Black-majority district to help better represent the 27% of the voting populace who are Black.

The map will be used in the 2024 elections because there is no more time to design a new map before the primaries.  The Republicans have characterized the situation as having the map “forced” on them instead of acknowledging they completely ignored the Constitutional order of the Supreme Court.

Ralph Nader v.2024 presidential candidate Cornel West announced that he is leaving the Green Party nomination race and moving to become an independent unaffiliated candidate for president, ABC News reports.  With a campaign supported by PACs attempting to thwart Joe Biden’s reelection, West was reportedly losing support to become the Green Party’s nominee, so instead of having them break up with him, he pre-emptively broke up with them.

“Democracy means more choices, not backroom deals; it means freedom to vote your conscience without being shamed or bullied. As Dr. West’s campaign for president grows, he believes the best way to challenge the entrenched system is by focusing 100% on the people, not on the intricacies of internal party dynamics,” West’s campaign said in a statement.

Disgraced former President Trump allegedly blabbed about the US Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet to an Australian billionaire at Mar-a-Lago after he left office in 2021, sourced tell ABC News.

Anthony Pratt, who runs US-based packaging manufacturer Pratt Industries, has at least twice this year been interviewed by prosecutors and FBI agents about his conversations with Trump.

A new Economist/YouGov survey finds 65 percent of Biden 2020 voters want DINO Senator Bob Menendez to resign versus 8 percent saying he shouldn’t with the remaining 27 percent saying they’re not sure. This compares with 60 percent of Trump 2020 voters saying he should go, 8 percent saying he shouldn’t, and 32 percent saying not sure, revealing a marginal but still noticeable number of MAGAmericans aware of the implication of favoring Menendez’s exit from the Senate while he faces a damning federal criminal indictment wouldn’t be consistent with favoring Trump staying in the 2024 race while he faces four damning federal and state criminal indictments.

The discomfort of this position is something we keep hammering at and now we have it quantified among voters. Saying “I’m not sure” when they’re actually sure is the sign of a guilty conscience.

“As I am sure you are aware, your valuation of Mar-a-Lago has been cited in Judge Arthur Engoron’s determination this week that former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization committed fraud by inflating the value of their assets. Between 2011 and 2021, you valued the Mar-a-Lago property between $18 million and $28 million. Last week, Donald Trump posted the following on Truth Social: ‘This highly partisan Democrat ‘Judge’ (All the Clubs, etc) just ruled that Mar-a-Lago was WORTH just 18 Million Dollars when, in fact, it may be worth 100 times that amount.'”

“Mar-a-Lago was listed as worth $490 million in financial documents given to banks. If the property value of Mar-a-Lago is so much higher than it was appraised, will you be amending the property value in line with the Trump family’s belief that the property is worth well over a billion dollars? I thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to a prompt response,” writes Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz to Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Dorothy Jacks.

Always looking for exciting and interesting new ways to waste the justice system’s time with stupid bullshit, disgraced former President Trump’s lawyers on Thursday filed a “MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT BASED ON PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY” in the case brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith over the fat fuck’s post-2020 election coup attempt conspiracy.

And if any of you smartass libs are thinking “Well why’s he claiming immunity if he’s innocent?” then DAMN they got you beat on that one with “President Trump (the incumbent administration’s leading opponent in the upcoming Presidential election) emphatically denies the truth of any allegations in the indictment. Rather, this memorandum sets forth the facts alleged in the indictment so that their legal sufficiency may be assessed for a motion to dismiss.” GOTCHA LIBS! YOU ARE SO OWNED!

The part where they write “President Trump was acquitted of these charges after trial in the Senate, and he thus remains immune from prosecution. The Special Counsel cannot second-guess the judgment of the duly elected United States Senate,” is pretty fucking funny and just asking for it, since the indictment counts are not worded even remotely the same as the impeachment articles.

And then there’s the “The indictment is based entirely on alleged actions within the heartland of President Trump’s official duties, or at the very least, within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his official duties. As President Trump is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for such acts, the Court should dismiss the indictment.” Jeez, make up your goddamned mind. Is it in “the heartland” or is it on the “outer perimeter”? Did anybody actually read this shit before they filed it?

The defense team in Dominion v MyPillow on Thursday filed a motion to withdraw from the case citing the old “outstanding invoices” problem that seems to keep coming up in the lawsuits brought by voting machine companies against certain far-right propagandists since the 2020 election.
