Ilya Remeslo, a once-hardcore pro-Putin blogger who this week apparently caught a bad case of the woke mind virus which then turned into full-blown Putin Derangement Syndrome and led him to post “Five reasons why I stopped supporting Vladimir ⁠Putin” on Tuesday, has been committed to a psychiatric ward in St Petersburg for treatment of his grave mental illness, Reuters reports.

“Vladimir Putin is ‌not a legitimate president. Vladimir Putin must resign and be brought to trial as a war criminal and a thief,” Remeslo wrote in the post to his 90,000 followers on Telegram, the missive denouncing a “failing war” that had wrecked Russia’s economy and killed millions was essentially a PDS super-spreader event given the live audience. It’s not clear why Putin didn’t simply order Remeslo to be euthanized via the usual windowing or “suicide” with five self-inflicted gunshots.

Private prison company GEO Group founder George Zoley told the White House that soon-to-be-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s fuck buddy/enforcer Coery Lewandowski had shaken him down for a “success fee” based on the size of contracts awarded to GEO for interning undocumented immigrants and, when Zoley balked, the rate of migrants sent to GEO facilities shrank, NBC reports.

Another firm, Salus Worldwide Solutions, had a similar experience and there was a convoluted stipulation to finalizing a contract with DHS that involved a marketing firm that Salus was supposed to pay $50 million, at least $20 million of which would’ve gone to a firm linked to Dirty Corey.

“White House officials have not taken any action against Lewandowski, in part out of fear that Trump will come to his defense,” NBC News writes in their report while also noting that they only know of the “deals” that fell through, not whether or how much Corey ever collected in his racket.

This week’s Yahoo News/YouGov national survey finds the Islamic Republic of Iran’s favorability rating at 8 percent among respondents who self-identified as Trump 2024 voters, not statistically-significantly higher than the 7 percent of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 voters who said the same, but still slightly higher nonetheless and definitely a quantifiable asterisk on the stale old “DeM0nCraTz lUv 2 giVe AiD n c0mF0rT 2 tEh eN3mY!!!11!!” trope the fanboys know and love.

“Michael Whatley is so Great! Running against a really bad former Governor who set murderers free to kill again, and was grossly incompetent on the big hurricane cleanup. I had to get it done when I took office on January 20th, and I did! I hope the Great people of North Carolina remember how BAD Roy Cooper was as Governor, especially on crime. Michael Whatley will be a FANTASTIC Senator. He led the Republican Party to VICTORY in 2024. Michael will be a GREAT SENATOR, one of the very best!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, evidently still feeling the heat for his backup candidate he only endorsed because his daughter-in-law didn’t want to risk losing.

Roy Cooper left the North Carolina governor’s office with a 53 percent approval rating.

Danish troops headed to Greenland in January brought with them explosives to destroy the runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to slow down an anticipated US invasion of the territory, DK reports on just how seriously Copenhagen was taking convicted felon President Trump’s deranged threats against the vast frozen island following the sudden capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

“Today, US Senator Elizabeth Warren today endorsed Graham Platner’s campaign for US Senate in Maine, where he is running to defeat Senator Susan Collins. ‘Graham Platner is going to flip Maine and then actually deliver change for working people in the Senate,’ said Senator Warren.”

“‘He’s a combat veteran, an oyster farmer, and has inspired people with his populist agenda for a government on the side of working families not the billionaires and giant corporations. Graham will fight every single day to make life better for the people of Maine in the United States Senate. I’m proud to endorse him,'” says a press release from the Massachusetts liberal’s political operation.

“‘It is an honor to be endorsed by Senator Elizabeth Warren,’ said Graham Platner. ‘Senator Warren has spent her career fighting those who use power and wealth to take advantage of working families. She’s been an inspiration and I look forward to working by her side in the Senate to take on Wall Street, monopolies, and the corruption in Washington,'” the press release continued.

Several unidentified drones were detected over Washington, DC’s Fort Lesley J McNair at some point over the last 10 days, leading the command of the base – which houses Secretary of State Marco Rubio and date rapist Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – to go on alert level “Charlie,” the Washington Post reports on the kind of shit Trump was supposed to end when he returned to power.

Seriously, what the fuck? If you thought Joe Biden should be impeached because a malfunctioning Chinese spy balloon drifted aimlessly across the continental United States before it was shot down and recovered mostly intact so it could be dismantled and examined then what say you if your president’s goddamned top two cabinet secretaries were on a military base when multiple unknown drones breached its airspace? How is this any less of an intolerable incursion to you?

Most Americans will be paying over $4/gallon for gas if they aren’t already, normally loyally pro-GOP outlet Axios reports on Thursday morning, apparently sore at their Orange God Emperor.

Now-former National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent is under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified documents to the press, Semafor’s Shelby Talcott reports, specifying that “the investigation pre-dates his departure.” Which would mean that they didn’t at least fire or suspend someone who was compromising national security and in a position to do worse damage.

Remember that whole thing about the families of the six Airmen killed in the tanker collision over Iraq not wanting media at the dignified transfer? Well, despite having a full-blown propaganda arm, the White House technically isn’t “media” so they interpreted that rule differently.

A North Carolina douchebag had been under the impression that his Cybertruck was safe from lib vandalism until he caught a 67 year-old woman using a board with nails sticking out of it to scratch the side of the hideous electric shitbox while at a park on Tuesday, WSOC-TV reports.

“I just couldn’t believe it was actually happening,” said Cybercuck Jason Hooper. “We had all the craziness with Teslas when Elon was part of DOGE and all that stuff, but I thought we had kind of gotten past that, and I had made it through unscathed. It was just kind of just shocking.”

Collettsville woman Karen Lewis was charged with misdemeanor damage to property and placed in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $1,000 secured bond. She has since been released.

WOW! Look at those oil values folks! ONE HUNDRED AND TEN SMACKAROOS for a barrel of BRENT CRUDE OIL, per the Wall Street Journal! That price is HOT HOT HOT! And West Texas Intermediate isn’t far behind at $95.70 per gallon! OIL IS BACK BABY! BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY!!!!!

A US diplomatic facility near Baghdad was hit with Katyusha rockets early Thursday local time, the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports in all caps so apparently this is a serious new development.

Probably because the families of the six Airmen killed pointlessly in convicted felon President Trump’s directionless war don’t want the images of the dignified transfer being used for fundraising emails, Fox News announced on Wednesday that the cameras will be off when their remains are offloaded. The propaganda network did air footage of a hatless Trump descending the stairs.

Corrupt Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome “Too Late” Powell on Wednesday celebrated his escape from justice with the help of corrupt DC District Judge James Boasberg, who very evilly and corruptly voided the investigation into Powell’s stunning atrocities against the people of the United States with his Federal Reserve headquarters building renovation crime that is so bad, so horrible, no one has ever even heard of such a thing and now he’s just saying “Gee, I just got off the hook from that Obama judge – a Trump hater – so I’m going to not lower interest rates.”

Sad. To think that Crooked Powell will get away with all the horrible things he’s done. Just a sick person. We don’t even have a country anymore because of his too late interest rate funny business.

National Zero will resume our regular coverage after this in-depth analysis behind Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s decision to hold interest rates steady that you won’t get at CNBC.

This is where the so-called master of sophistries and weasel words is at right now, that gas prices suck so much worse for people in other countries. “Fallacy of relative privation” is a concept he might want to look into to see how well this is going to land with non-cultists.
