Quack Florida Surgeon General Dr Joseph Ladopo personally altered the data in a study about COVID vaxes last year to make it look like some doses posed significantly higher health risks for young men than accepted by the medical community, according to a document obtained by Politico.

Ladopo then used his own changes to argue that the studies showed the risks of adverse health effects from the COVID vaccines were higher than blah blah blah you know the rest. The guy’s a fucking liar who will never be fired by hells-wearing Governor Ron DeSantis for this.

Unemployed TV heads Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon on Monday both hired media lawyer Bryan Freedman for their legal revenges against Fox News and CNN, respectively, the Daily Beast reports.

Three months after releasing the curriculum for Advanced Placement African American Studies that met the strict non-white-guilt, no damn CRT standards set by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the College Board announced it will revise the curriculum after criticism from scholars who accused the Board of bowing to political pressure, the New York Times reports.

The changes to the program will be introduced in the coming months, the Board announced, saying “In embarking on this effort, access was our driving principle — both access to a discipline that has not been widely available to high school students, and access for as many of those students as possible,” the Board wrote in a statement. “Regrettably, along the way those dual access goals have come into conflict.”

In other words, the Board got caught in a spot where they wanted to sell more products, but to do so, they abandoned their academic standards to meet the needs of a racist-theory-touting Florida governor who wants to keep his state stupid.

President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign launch is 100 percent happening Tuesday, with the early morning debut of the announcement video, followed by a speech at the North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference in the afternoon, the Washington Post reports.

National Zero will do our best to cover the day’s Biden-centric events, provided Trump doesn’t get indicted federally, Charlie Kirk’s secret teenage boy lover doesn’t sue him, Fox News doesn’t fire Greg Gutfeld, George Soros doesn’t use 5G to activate his secret nanobots hidden in the COVID-19 vaccines that turn people into vicious robo-zombies, or something else. We should still be good for all Biden campaign launch news even if Jared Kushner files for divorce from Ivanka.

“You know we have very strong people in this country and they’ve been sitting back and watching.  They’ve been watching.  They’ve watched that whole situation at the Capitol.  They didn’t walk in with guns.  They shot Ashlii Babbitt,” Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, claims before issuing a thinly-veiled order for his cult members.  “Bad things should happen to him.  He shot her, and she was totally defenseless.  She was like an American patriot.  You look at her, everything online, the flag and the whole thing.  She was an American patriot.  They shot her and nothing happened to him.  If that were the other way around, there would be hell to pay.  But the people of this country just aren’t going to take it anymore.  They cannot take it anymore.”

“Well, I’m shocked.  I’m surprised.  He’s a very good person and a very good man and very talented as you know.  He had very high ratings,” a man with an orange toner fetish says of a testicle tanning enthusiast.  “Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh, we’re just learning about it almost as we speak.  Y’know I just said, ‘Wow, that is something.  That’s a big one.’ Ah, I don’t know if it was voluntary or was it, ah, somebody fired.  I think Tucker’s been, ah, terrific.  He’s been– especially over the past year or so, he’s been terrific to me.”

Yes, Don, it’s all about you.  And it’s good you specified Tucker Carlson’s been good to you over the past year because in January 2021, he was so not into you.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced Monday night that the two sides in the Sudanese civil war have agreed to a three-day ceasefire to allow refugees and foreigners to depart the country, CNN reports.

“The United States urges the SAF and RSF [the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, the two factions of the military waging the civil war] to immediately and fully uphold the ceasefire,” Blinken said. “To support a durable end to the fighting, the United States will coordinate with regional and international partners, and Sudanese civilian stakeholders, to assist in the creation of a committee to oversee the negotiation, conclusion, and implementation of a permanent cessation of hostilities and humanitarian arrangements in Sudan.”

“Hi, everybody and welcome to Fox News Tonight.  I am Brian Kilmeade.  As you prob’ly have heard, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways.  I wish Tucker the best.  I’m great friends with Tucker and always will be, but right now, it’s time for Fox News Tonight so let’s get started.”

And so ends the top prime-time cable news host’s time on prime time cable news, having lost shows now on CNN (2000-’05), PBS (’04-’05), MSNBC (’05-’08) and Fox News (2009-’23).  Fox has filled the slot with the ambiguously-named “Fox News Tonight.”

Tucker Carlson was fired–and make no mistake about it:  he was fired; he didn’t “part ways” with his former employer despite the official statement–ostensibly because of a lawsuit alleging systemic sexism and misogyny brought by a former show producer.  Apparently, Rupert Murdoch was shocked–shocked! he says–that such grotesque behavior was happening at the Fox cable network’s offices.  Except claims of racism, misogyny and hatred have long been coming from Carlson’s offices:  in 2020, in 2019, for example.

Be clear:  Carlson was fired because he was a liability to the network and Murdoch’s fortune on many levels.  His text messages–in which he disparaged the Fox audience and admitted the election fraud claims he was broadcasting were bogus–were not just a legal liability but a public relations nightmare.  Carlson’s vocal support of white nationalists, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and vile anti-immigrant stereotypes were bringing eyeballs to the network, but they weren’t bringing in ad dollars, And worse:  they were also adding to what insurance agents and lawyers call the network’s “exposure.”

Democratic Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, asked Texas billionaire and a jurist’s sugar daddy Harlan Crow to provide a complete list of all gifts, services and cash he’s provided Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during their friendship, NBC News reports.

“I write seeking information related to reports of undisclosed gifts and payments for the personal benefit of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, including private real estate transactions and the complimentary use of your private jet and superyacht,” Wyden wrote. “This unprecedented arrangement between a wealthy benefactor and a Supreme Court justice raises serious concerns related to federal tax and ethics laws.”

Thomas has admitted to taking vacations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with Crow as a guest of Crow’s.  Thomas claims he was told he didn’t have to report such extravagant gifts if they were from friends.

Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis on Monday sent a letter to local law enforcement to be ready for indictments of disgraced former President Trump and his minions in the state over their post-2020 election coup attempt that will be handed down from a grand jury at any time between July 11 and September 1st, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“Please accept this correspondence as notice to allow you sufficient time to prepare the Sheriff’s Office and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies to ensure that our law enforcement community is ready to protect the public,” Willis wrote in the letter to Fulton Sheriff Pat Labat obtained by the AJC. Similar letters were sent to Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency Director Matthew Kallmyer and Atlanta Police Department Chief Darin Schierbaum.

Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com

— RT (@RT_com) April 24, 2023

RT, the Russian-government-owned television network famous for putting a Kremlin-friendly on the airways, offered the recently-fired Tucker Carlson a job on the network.  Carlson would be easy to plug into the RT lineup, and he will need little training being a Putin lapdog.

Carlson could take his executive producer, Justin Wells, with him to have a plug-and-play show, with Kremlin-trained propagandists taking up the writing duties previously undertaken by Fox staff.

A spokesman for the Russian defense ministry on Monday said they found a crashed Ukrainian kamikaze drone in a forested area about 19 miles east of Moscow, the Associated Press reports.

Though it’s smart to go into this under the assumption the Kremlin is full of shit, it’s worth asking why they would make this up. It’s not like they need a “false flag” to justify bombing Kyiv considering they’ve been doing it for 14 months now. Maybe they’re really worried.

Sources tell the Los Angeles Times that still-single right wing media oligarch Rupert Murdoch personally ordered his chief TV propagandist Tucker Carlson fired over the discrimination lawsuit filed by former producer Abby Grossberg – itself an offshoot of the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit and because of Tucker’s moronic “real story” of the January 6th insurrection. We can now say Kevin McCarthy actually did something useful for once in his life, even if unintentionally.

The LA Times article also mentions “CIA agent” Ray Epps’s threats of action against Tucker and Fox over the bullshit stories about him being a motivating factor which, if true, means we can say the “Deep State” got their revenge against Tucker Carlson through their “agent provocateur.”

Kirk also tweeted, and this is fucking hilarious, a video of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer from just a few weeks ago telling Rupert Murdoch to fire Tucker Carlson. A reply notes AOC calling on Tucker to be punished for inciting violence during an MSNBC interview on Sunday.

Hahaha! While you libs were celebrating Tucker Carlson leaving Fox News, REAL PATRIOTS scored a victory too as CNN HAS FIRED DON LEMON! Take that you socialist scumbags! Don Lemon was way more important to leftists than Tucker was to Christian freedom lovers! SUCK IT LIBS! MAGA!

National Zero will resume our regular news coverage now that we’ve helped our MAGA readers feel like the score’s been somehow evened. Everyone please pretend like Don Lemon was important.

“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor. Mr Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named,” says Fox News in a statement.

We really wanted to write “fired” in the headline. It’s probably true, but we need to wait on confirmation from a reliable source for that. God bless Dominion Voting Systems for this either way.
