“A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee’s 7th district finds 48 percent of voters support Republican Matt Van Epps and 46 percent support Democrat Aftyn Behn. Two percent plan to vote for one of three third-party candidates on the ballot, and 5 percent are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps’ overall support increases to 49 percent, and Behn to 47 percent,” says National Zero’s favorite pollster in a write-up on their test of the Trump +22 district’s December 2 special to finish out the term of now-resigned MAGA philanderer Mark Green.

Last month Emerson put Dem New Jersey Gov-Elect Mikie Sherrill ahead of Republican Jack Shittarelli 49 to 48 percent, five days before she won by 56.6 to 42.8 percent, so that was a 12.8 percent miss. In Virginia, where the college’s final poll put Dem Gov-Elect Abigail Spanberger up 55 to 44 percent over MAGA Lt Gov Winsome Sears was not as bad of a miss but still off by 4.2 as Spanberger’s final tally was 57.5 to Earle-Sears’s 42.3 percent. In New York City it’s a little trickier as their poll finding now-Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani at 50 percent to disgraced former Gov Andrew Cuomo’s 25 percent and Republican Curtis Sliwa’s 21 percent did nail Mamdani’s 50.4 percent bare majority win. At the same time Emerson massively oversold Sliwa and undersold Cuomo, who finished in second with 41.6 percent to Sliwa’s 7.1 percent, so that was still technically a 13.9 percent miss in favor of a Republican. The pollster used to only be good for mid-single-digits pro-GOP tilt.

Now none of this means Tennessee Dem state Representative Aftyn Behn has this in the bag despite Emerson’s demonstrated pattern of “reliability” in non-presidential years. In fact you should still expect her to lose given the recent surge of MAGA attention and right wing media circlejerking about some comments she made God knows when over Nashville’s country scene (lol).

“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again. I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide, winning all Seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a lot. I one our Nation’s Districts by 2750 to 550, a complete wipeout,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, raging over a New York Times report from Tuesday summarizing his failing physical and mental health as he ages and thus pretty much validating it with “one” instead of “won.”

Also it should be “counties” and not “Districts” but could’ve let that slide if not for the “one.”

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday established two three-judge panels to examine the question of whether the Cheesehead State’s congressional maps were drawn unfairly, all of the judges either elected or appointed Dems, and the only question now being if they redraw the state’s lines before the filing deadline of the 2026 midterms, the Associated Press reports.

Dem California Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Federal Home Finance Agency director Bill “Fannie Man” Pulte for violations of privacy in obtaining Swalwell’s mortgage records following his bullshit criminal referral, CBS News reports.

“Pulte’s brazen practice of obtaining confidential mortgage records from Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac and then using them as a basis for referring individual homeowners to DOJ for prosecution is unprecedented and unlawful,” Swalwell’s lawsuit against the smug little shitweasel alleges.

“It looks like the Indiana Senate Republicans will be coming back in two weeks to take up Redistricting, a very important initiative to balance out the Democrats’ endless ‘Sue to Blue’ and Census rigging strategy that has stolen seats from Republicans, and given them to Democrats who would not have them if they played fairly. Radical Left Democrats have rigged the game for a long time – Remember, until the GREAT Speaker Newt Gingrich, Democrats controlled the House for 40 YEARS in a row, and now, Republicans must fight back for the American People who want and need the Massive Tax and Regulation Cuts, Lower Prices, Strong Borders, Powerful Military, and Safe Cities that Republicans are delivering, and Democrats are fighting against every step of the way.”

“Democrats, if they steal power back, will again give us the Highest Ever Inflation, Sky High Prices, Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, DEI, and unlimited Violent Crime that they caused and allowed until we came back into Office this year. Republicans must do what is necessary to stop the destruction of our Country by these people who hate America, and are so ungrateful for the opportunities our Nation has given them. Our Country and Democracy is special, and we must do everything we possibly can to defend it from the Far Left infiltrators who want to destroy it. I am glad to hear the Indiana House is stepping up to do the right thing, and I hope the Senate finds the Votes. If they do, I will make sure that all of those people supporting me win their Primaries, and go on to Greatness but, if they don’t, I will partner with the incredibly powerful MAGA Grassroots Republicans to elect STRONG Republicans who are ready to do what is needed to protect our Country and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday.

Convicted felon President Trump is weighing whether to fire dipshit FBI Director K$H Patel after a series of increasingly embarrassing news stories about the children’s book author, MS Now reports.

In an exhaustively long and detailed – possibly prescription amphetamine-inspired – Thanksgiving forecast outlook, the National Weather Service’s Marquette, Michigan office writes that “Winter Storm Warnings and Watches are in effect for much of the UP as a deepening low pressure tracks across the UP tonight into Wednesday, with an eventual transition to lake effect snowfall. Chances of 12 inches or more of snow are around 100 percent across the north-northwest wind snow belts of the western UP by Thanksgiving, with some spots potentially receiving 2 to 3+ feet.”

After a while it finally cuts to the chase with the snow/lightning combo. “Recent guidance has shifted the winds more north-northwesterly this morning, which in turn would bring a little more snowfall to the north-central as it would have more Lake Superior fetch to work with. In addition, with -15C 850mb air moving over 5C Lake Superior sfc waters, some guidance is picking up on some modest MUCAPE values, potentially even up to 100 J/kg. Thus, while not expected, there is up to a 10 to 15 percent chance that some thundersnow will be realized over the north-northwest snowbelts Wednesday into Thanksgiving morning in the lake enhanced to lake effect snow bands.”

Fun fact: You’ll have a LOT less warning that there’s lightning incoming given that both the flashes and the thunder will be obscured by the snow. It’ll sneak right up on you.

FBI has sent Dem Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlihan requests for interviews with agents after they posted that “Don’t Give Up The Ship” video that caused convicted felon President Trump to have a fucking meltdown, Reuters reports on K$H trying to look busy and useful.

Weird how like these people are supposed to be guilty of sedition and treason but rather than being immediately arrested and jailed before their trial and execution they’re getting interviewed.

Convicted felon President Trump will on Tuesday officially pardon two turkeys that attacked the US Capitol and violently packed the faces of police officers during the January 6, 2021 insurrection that Trump incited. Or the two turkeys whose crypto exhcnage facilitated money laundering operations for Al Qaeda, Hamas, and child sex trafficking operations in Colombia. Or the two turkeys who donated $10 million to a PAC that supported his 2024 campaign… Okay, admittedly nobody knows why these two turkeys were selected but they had to have done something to earn the mercy.

Maybe Eric Adams is involved. Turkey, bribery, escaping consequences… All very Adams-esque.

On Monday you may or may not have read reporting on Travis Turner, head football coach at Union High School in Wise County, Virginia, who disappeared while the team’s entering the first round of playoffs following an undefeated regular season, maybe even making a serious run for the state championship. It’s making national news, a tragic and mysterious disappearance for the 46 year-old gridiron general at a terrible time, true crime TikTokers jumping in with their theories that maybe a psycho dad from a rival team or whoever bumped Turner off or kidnapped him, so on and so forth.

Well now it’s Tuesday and Turner’s still missing buuuuuuut CBS 19 reports he’s also wanted on five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor.

That’s why Turner’s “missing.” He doesn’t want to get arrested and then tried, convicted, and sentenced to decades in prison for being a pedophile and a stupid one who lets himself get caught.

Or he crawled into a large abandoned coal mine deep in the woods and shot himself in the head, preferring that raccoons consume his flesh to the living death of imprisonment. GO UNION HS!

“The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® declined by 6.8 points in November to 88.7 (1985=100) from 95.5 in October. The Present Situation Index – based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions – fell by 4.3 points to 126.9. The Expectations Index – based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions – fell by 8.6 points to 63.2. The Expectations Index has tracked below 80 for ten consecutive months, the threshold under which the gauge signals recession ahead. The cutoff for preliminary results was November 18, 2025,” says the Conference Board in another bummer for MAGA.

Take one look at this absolute anarchy in New York City with a car being set on fire by these thugs during a “street takeover” party and it’s no wonder why President Trump won Arkansas in a landslide in the 2024 election. The people of the Huckabee State saw scenes like this on Fox News and other conservative cable channels and said “No more” before the vast majority of them cast their ballots to return Trump to power last November, the message to these scumbags in Queens unambiguous.

Arkansans have ZERO tolerance for this sort of thing happening in New York City and they trusted President Trump – the Law and Order president – to put an end to the radical mob rule of Gotham’s streets. His powerful campaign message of bringing crime in New York City under control was a massive winner with the people of Arkansas, Missouri, Utah, Idaho, North Dakota and so many other largely rural red states. They see those flames licking out from that car and immediately look to President Trump to help them feel safe from the violence of that crime-ridden urban hellhole.

They voted against this, knowing that a year later the streets of New York City would be safe again from these criminal gangs blasting profane rap music and doing whatever they want. It’s also why next year they’ll reelect Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Republican Senator Tom Cotton, and Republican Congressmen Rick Crawford, French Hill, Steve Womack, and Bruce Westerman to the state’s four districts, knowing that in 2027 the streets of New York City will be safe again from these criminal gangs blasting profane rap music and doing whatever they want.

National Zero will resume our regular coverage after this commentary on why Arkansans continue to support President Trump, Governor Sanders, and the Republicans they elected to Congress.

“Advance estimates of US retail and food services sales for September 2025, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $733.3 billion, up 0.2 percent (±0.4 percent)* from the previous month, and up 4.3 percent (±0.5 percent) from September 2024. Total sales for the July 2025 through September 2025 period were up 4.5 percent (±0.4 percent) from the same period a year ago. The July 2025 to August 2025 percent change was unrevised from up 0.6 percent (±0.2 percent). Retail trade sales were up 0.1 percent (±0.5 percent)* from August 2025, and up 3.9 percent (±0.5 percent) from last year. Nonstore retailers were up 6.0 percent (±1.2 percent) from last year, while food service and drinking places were up 6.7 percent (±1.8 percent) from September 2024,” says the Commerce Department’s September retail sales report , delayed because Republicans want Americans to pay more for health insurance.

Analysts had expected a 0.4 percent rise but MAGAnomics gave us a 0.2 percent increase.

“A Lucas County man has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison for his role in soaking the pages of books in illegal drugs to ship to inmates at a local prison. Austin Siebert, 30, of Maumee, Ohio, was sentenced to 140 months (approximately 11 years) in prison by US District Judge Donald C Nugent after pleading guilty in August to the following charges as outlined in the indictment: Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition; prior convictions include Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs in 2018 and Robbery in 2021. Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. Siebert was also ordered to serve four years of supervised release after imprisonment. Judge Nugent imposed the sentence Nov 18,” says a Justice Department/Northern District of Ohio press release.

“According to court documents, prison officials at the Grafton Correctional Institution in Lorain County discovered that Siebert was in regular communication with several inmates and mailing books to them. Prison investigators seized suspicious book packages which were then sent to a forensic lab for analysis. The seized contraband tested positive for the presence of synthetic cannabinoids such as 5-Fluoro-ADB and MDMB-4en-PINACA. Subsequently, a federal search warrant was executed at Siebert’s residence in Maumee where agents seized a paperback book suspected of being soaked with narcotics; a loaded Bersa Thunder, .380 semiautomatic pistol; several bags containing suspected drugs in pill and powder forms; a book binding machine; and package mailing labels,” the press release continued, conspicuously without naming the book.

It was neckbeard Vice President JD Vance’s memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” according to the AP.

So “Captain” Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline…but you can’t even display your uniform correctly.

Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it’ll start with a uniform inspection. https://t.co/rsSyrPcmbg

When you actually want a decorated veteran officer recalled to the service, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for allegedly encouraging mutiny, posting this kind of tweet to score points is what you do not do. In fact you just shut the fuck up and stay out of it because tweeting this is “unlawful command interference,” which tends to void charges under military justice. What a freaking idiot, lol.

An anonymous House Republican tells Axios that, while he’s not likely to resign in the near term, “the thought has crossed my mind” when it comes to resigning early after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt announcement on Friday night. “I know I’m not the only one,” eyeing the exit, he added.

Kind of weak for an Axios story the day after Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman broke the news about how many House GOP members are on tenure suicide watch. Greene herself tweeted a response to Sherman’s reporting on Monday with “Fact check true but it’s worse than people inside the bubble know when you talk to real Americans outside the wicked snow globe of Washington DC. Myself and many of my colleagues came courageously roaring into 2025 with legislation that matched the 2024 electoral mandate only to be totally sidelined by Johnson under full obedience of the WH.”

“Executive orders are temporary, Q memes have not obliterated the deep state [LOL at that part coming from her but also that it’s a direct shot at Trump himself] and my colleagues constantly trying to pass loyalty tests instead of demanding what is right won’t help Americans pay their rent or stop corporations from buying up homes, buy their groceries, provide good paying jobs and stop foreigners with visas from stealing their jobs, stop American tax dollars from funding foreign wars and causes, or rebuild the value of the dollar. Passing effective legislation that gets signed into law is permanent and actually solves Americans problems. Now that House members are switching gears into campaign mode and will be fighting for their lives, our legislative majority has been mostly wasted. Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again,” Marjorie continued.

“In other exchanges lasting up to an hour, Kumma discussed even more graphic sexual topics in detail, such as explaining different sex positions, giving step-by-step instructions on a common ‘knot for beginners’ for tying up a partner, and describing roleplay dynamics involving teachers and students and parents and children – scenarios it disturbingly brought up itself. In this last conversation, the researcher brought up multiple sexual topics, and asked about them more persistently. The toy continued to escalate,” says a section of a lengthy report from the US PIRG Consumer Watchdog research group about the dangers of AI toys, this one “Kumma” being particularly problematic and leading its manufacturer, FoloToy, to pull it from shelves, per The Blaze.
