The Coast Guard on Saturday announced the suspension of the search “for the missing crew members from the fishing vessel Lily Jean after search efforts yielded no additional results. Coast Guard crews have searched continuously since receiving an emergency position-indicating radio beacon activation Friday morning from the 72-foot fishing vessel, approximately 25 miles off the coast of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Seven people were reported to be aboard the vessel.”

“During the search, Coast Guard air and surface crews located a debris field near the beacon’s reported position, recovered one unresponsive individual from the water, and located the vessel’s life raft, which was deployed but unoccupied. Coast Guard crews conducted coordinated search patterns based on weather conditions, sea state and available evidence and covered approximately 1,047 square miles over 24 hours using multiple aircraft, cutters and small boats. After consultation between search and rescue mission coordinators and on-scene commanders, the Coast Guard determined that all reasonable search efforts for the missing crew members had been exhausted.”

“The cause of the incident is under investigation by the Coast Guard Northeast District,” the statement continued as if to leave open the possibility that a giant squid emerged from the abyss and attacked the boat. Or it was Somali pirates because you never know, they could theoretically have built a super secret base in Nova Scotia and are conducting raids on American vessels. Or maybe they just murdered one of their crew and scattered a bunch of debris to make it look extra convincing that they sank to cover up the explosive truth that they secretly defected to Greenland.

“Today is the day! To all Voters in Texas’ 9th State Senate District: GET OUT AND VOTE for a phenomenal Candidate, Leigh Wambsganss. She is a highly successful Entrepreneur, and an incredible supporter of our Movement to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. My very good friend, Lt Governor Dan Patrick, needs a strong conservative Republican in SD-9 to KEEP TEXAS RED! The Radical Left Democrats are spending a fortune to beat a true MAGA Warrior, Leigh Wambsganss. You can win this Election for Leigh, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement. POLLS CLOSE AT 7 PM. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR LEIGH WAMBSGANSS!” posted convicted felon President Trump at 2:28 PM EST on Saturday, during the special election runoff for the contested seat.

Then at 11:17 PM the Texas Tribune printed a statement from Wambsganss – an exec with “Patriot Mobile,” lol – saying her 57.2 to 42.8 percent defeat to Dem Taylor Rehmet ought to be a “wakeup call” for Republicans. “The dynamics of a special election are fundamentally different from a November general election,” Wambsganss said. “I believe the voters of Senate District 9 and Tarrant County Republicans will answer the call in November” during their full-term rematch.

Right on bro! You really freaking nailed it right there when you said “ICE murdered an American citizen in cold blood and then the Trump administration called him a domestic terrorist. That’s it. Like plain and simple. I see the administration trying to spin it and it’s fucking disgusting!” while talking about Alex Pretti’s murder in Minneapolis. That’s some real moral courage that certain people with large followings couldn’t be bothered to display about 15 months ago, give or take.

A year to the minute after National Zero readers were first introduced to Trump Burger – the startup Houston-area fast food chain dedicated to the Orange God Emperor – is a good a time as any to provide an update on how things are going for the four-locations-and-growing brand:

It’s gone. All four outlets closed or were seized last fall while founder Iyad Muhammad Abuelhawa, an illegal immigrant from Jordan, and his ex-partner/opposing legal party Roland Beainy, an illegal immigrant from Lebanon, were in ICE custody, though both men have secured temporary release.

The original location in the town of Bellville, founded by Abuelhawa in 2020 before Beainy elbowed in somehow, is now “President Burger” and owned by local man Luis Pita. It still largely stick to the Trump theme. So does the former second location, opened late 2024 in Flatonia, now rechristened “MAGA Burger” and owned by parties unknown. The Kemah, Texas location, opened in March 2025, was seized by landlord Archie Patterson and now operates as Freedom Burgers and Beer Garden, probably still Trump-themed. The fourth and final location, opened in May 2025 and lasted mere weeks at a former Checkers in Houston – located at the address in the headline – is “coming soon” as actually growing area chain Empire Pizza‘s next outlet, with no MAGA theming remaining.

Thus ends the American dream for two immigrants and a narrative Fox News so limp dick-edly sold as “An emerging chain in the Lone Star State is making waves – specifically, red ones – with a menu and décor inspired by none other than Donald Trump.” You want cries with that, libtards? LMAO!

It’s funny enough that Kotaku reports that Trump’s dead bestie Jeffrey Epstein was banned from Microsoft’s Xbox online gaming service back in 2013, preventing him from pwning noobs in Halo 4 and Grand Theft Auto Online, per emails sent that December and dumped in Friday’s Justice Department release of millions of documents. Why? At first it was due to “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players.” That might’ve been a boilerplate though, as Microsoft then followed up a few hours later add that it was (also?) to enforce their policy to “remove New York registered sex offenders from online gaming services to minimize the risk to others, particularly children.”

So either being a sex offender was the icing on the cake of a regular ban or they initially sent the wrong notification for them banning a convicted sex offender, the end result being the same.

Even funnier is the context of the ban: About five months earlier Jeff had drafted an email to Microsoft founder Bill Gates complaining that Gates had implored Jeff “to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis,” after Bill supposedly caught a nasty bug from some Russian hookers that Epstein had supplied to him and was worried he had infected his wife.

So maybe the orders to take Jeff’s Xbox privileges away – while their friendship was already on the rocks – came from the top, maybe they didn’t. What is known is that the final rupture didn’t come until late the next year, when they fell out over some kind of “charitable fund” collaboration.

Hard charging Lakeville, Massachusetts Police Detective Robert Schiffer isn’t taking no for an answer from those donut-gobbling pussies in Connecticut and Rhode Island, taking the lead and forming a multistate task force to take down the sons of bitches on a vape shop burglary crew that’ve hit dozens of liquid nicotine purveyors from East Hartford to Saugus, WPRI reports.

Schiffer already cuffed one of the skids, 19 year-old Jokari Fuquary-Rios, identified two others and issued warrants for them, and is squeezing the dips for the fourth one in the crew. The fuckin meter maids in Rhody and Connecticut had their dicks in their hands while he was actually working.

Of course, being a savvy media operator, Schiffer publicly acted like the mooks had kicked in. “This investigation would not have been possible without regional cooperation and the dedication of motivated detectives who all wanted the same outcome,” Schiffer said. “Everyone involved worked together, shared information, and stayed focused on holding those responsible accountable.”

Do you love exhaustively-detailed stories about container ships? No. Too bad. YouTube is out of decent-enough movies and this terrifying tale is considerably scarier than most horror films anyway.

“Last night I saw, ‘MELANIA,’ for the second time. The audience loved it, and so do I. Check it out – A MUST SEE!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, hours after enough professional film critics – who were not screened it in advance – had reviewed the piece of shit to give in an 8 percent aggregate rating at Rotten Tomatoes. The sole “positive” review making up that rounded figure is a meager 3/5 stars from some bloody wanker British Karen at the “London Evening Standard.”

A grand total of four out of 78 tickets have been sold for the 10:10 EST Friday showing of the rapist-directed “movie” at the Times Square Regal Cinemas, the closest multiplex to the Trump Tower.

Not even the fat fucking con artist Donald can spin his way out of this failure. Even ticket sales weren’t ever the point – it was forcing Jeff Bezos into submission – it’s still gonna sting Dirty Donald.

Trump then screamed at Republicans to sack up and support Kristi Noem, writing “The Radical Left Lunatics, Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Thugs, are going after Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because she is a woman, and has done a really GREAT JOB!” and blah blah blah and “don’t let these Crooked Democrats, who are stealing Billions of Dollars from Minnesota, and other Cities and States from all over the Country, push you around. They are using this aggressive protest SCAM to obfuscate, camouflage, and hide their CRIMINAL ACTS of theft and insurrection.”

“They should all be in jail. I was elected on Strong Borders, and Law and Order, among many other things. Thank you to Secretary Kristi Noem. Remember, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!”

Pennsylvania State Troopers executing a search warrant on a very credibly suspected child porn enthusiast in Myerstown on Wednesday never got to the search or arrest part because they ended up immediately and fatally blasting 47 year-old exterminator John McDowell, CBS 21 reports.

The evidence against McDowell was extremely overwhelming as it was disturbing. The scumbag, who looks very MAGA but cannot be definitively determined as such, had outright wrote “pedo” who “needs” children’s private parts, and shared pics of a four-or-five year old girl he had claimed he’d molested, according to the search warrant. CBS 21 did not link it but describe screenshots of other messages sent by McDowell to members-only groups on the private messaging app Kik, previously famous for being the favorite of anti-“groomer” Republican now-former South Carolina state Representative and convicted child molester RJ May III, now serving 17 years in federal prison.

It’s still not clear if McDowell was actually armed during the confrontation. Neighbors speaking to CBS 21 kind of shrugged off that part. “I mean, it was either that or he’s going to jail for the rest of his life,” said Thomas Malloy. “I’m glad he’s off the street, if the allegations are true about him specifically. I mean, it’s a shame it had to come to a shooting,” other neighbor Jason Borden said.

Copied verbatim from MS Now’s Ken Dilanian to not mince words: “Sources who were aware of this had expressed concern that it would never see the light of day. It did – briefly. Now it has been taken down. What’s up, ⁦@DAGToddBlanche⁩?” Dilanian’s tweet zeroes in specifically on the top row.

Also note the appearance of the Alexander brothers, the trio of Israeli-American luxury real estate hustlers who are currently facing trial in a fucking monster federal sex trafficking case that was brought in December 2024 when it was still the Merrick Garland Justice Department.

The “Robin Leach strangled a girl to death” is probably from some troll, but the rest of this is certainly the side of the lifestyles of the rich and the famous you never got to see on his show. The fact the DOJ fucking deleted the page should tell you that the rest of it is real enough to the Regime.

On Dec 14, 2013, at 12:35 AM, Elon Musk (nice job making sure all the email addresses are redacted, Blanchey) wrote: “Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?” to which jeevacation@gmail.com, aka Jeffrey Epstein replied “I will send hell for you.” The brief exchange is just one of over 1,100 documents in the Justice Department’s searchable database in which the scrappy Afrikaner refugee/illegal immigrant to the United States is mentioned.

Among the millions of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents dumped by the Justice Department on Friday is a curious and previously unknown email timestamped “Wed 10/23/2002 7:40:52 PM,” subject line “HI!” and reading “Dear [Ghislaine], How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania”

And yes, Melania is referring to the exact story in which her then-future husband infamously is quoted as saying “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy… He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Want to go even deeper in the rabbit hole? Paolo Zampoli, the sleazy modeling agency hustler who recruited Melania to come to the US and was hosting the party at which she met Donald in 1998, shows up in the search results of the DOJ’s newest tranche too. And it is some WEIRD shit:

Telling the media that “the number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected. That’s what we’re releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected,” convicted felon President Trump’s defense lawyer/current Deputy Attorney General of the United States Todd Blanche on Friday – 42 days after the statutory deadline for their release – announced that another large tranche of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein are now available for public and media consumption in a byzantine database.

Republican former Nebraska state Senator Brett Lindstrom on Friday announced he’s throwing the towel in on the race to succeed retiring Congressman Don Bacon, one of just three House Republicans repping a district won by former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

“After careful reflection, prayer, and thoughtful consideration over the past few weeks, Brett Lindstrom announced today that he is stepping away from the race for Congress. ‘This was not an easy decision,’ Lindstrom said. ‘Over the past several weeks, I’ve taken time to reflect, pray, and have honest conversations with my family about where I can best focus my time and energy. Right now, my priority needs to be my family and continuing to make a difference here in Omaha and across Nebraska – not in Washington, DC,'” said the very ChatGPT-ish first half of the press release.

Then it gets interesting, even kind of tantalizing for those who crave anecdotal evidence of a pending Blue Wave: “Lindstrom emphasized that the decision is not due to a lack of confidence in his campaign or its support. ‘I was confident that we were on a strong path to winning the nomination,’ he said. ‘However, when looking ahead to what would be an exceptionally brutal general election, I felt it was the responsible decision to pause this campaign and step back at this time.'”

According to the Nebraska Examiner, Lindstrom had a 1 percent lead over Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding in the most recent polling among NE-2’s Republican primary voters, polling they say indicated some vulnerability for Brinker on certain issues. On the other hand Brinker was expected to show a significant money advantage over Lindstrom in upcoming FEC fundraising reports.

It would actually be malpractice to report that without an indictment being docketed or announced or confirmed by a participant in the proceedings — unless this is the formal announcement by the White House? https://t.co/PgZ2iHIuTN

Convicted felon President Trump’s top political aide James Blair sure brought the not-receipts on Friday when he called the mainstream media out for reporting that Don Lemon had been arrested rather than indicted, to which Politico’s top legal reporter Kyle Cheney asked him politely where said receipt was. Blair apparently has yet to respond to Cheney with a link to the indictment PDF.

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump Regime from seeking the death penalty for United Health CEO Brian Thompson’s assassin Luigi Mangione, the AP reports on a L for Pam Blondi.

“On Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026, at approximately 6:30 pm, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex near the 9500 block of Jeremiah Dr in reference to a shooting. Officers arrived on scene and located an adult male victim with an apparent gunshot wound to his head. Officers started rendering CPR until they were relieved by Fort Worth Fire EMS. The victim was transported to a local hospital for continued medical treatment. The victim did not survive his injuries and was pronounced deceased several hours later. Detectives with the Gun Violence Unit learned that an argument between friends had taken place,” says the Ft Worth, Texas Police Department in a Facebook post.

“The argument started over an order of french fries that the victim did not want to share with the suspect, and a verbal argument between the two escalated to a shooting. The suspect fled the apartment after the shooting. Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses and have identified the suspected shooter. The suspect is known to live in the same apartment complex. Officers searched the area and the suspect’s apartment, but did not locate the suspect. Detectives are actively looking for the suspect to speak with him about the incident. This incident is an isolated event, and there is no known danger to the general public,” the post continued, emphasis added here by National Zero.

Sure, maybe it’s reasonable for them to say this particular suspect is no threat to the general public, but when you live in a state where a significant portion of the populace are always carrying and a situation that in, say, Scotland would have been a fistfight – maybe a stabbing at worst – then, well…

When you have to write “an order of french fries that the victim did not want to share” and “escalated to a shooting” then no, it is not factually correct to write that there is no danger to the public at large. The public in Texas is in mortal danger at all times, every minute of every day.

The Confederates were the bad guys in the Civil War, according to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s take on this very specific limited instance of Gov Tim Walz evoking “Fort Sumter” in the Trump Administration’s campaign of brutality against the people of Minneapolis. The Confederates are also the bad guys when some MAGA Twitter user posts “I haven’t seen the Democrats this upset since Lincoln freed all the slaves” because LMAO Trump owned the libs on this or that.

Such instances however are isolated perturbations in the overall narrative of “muh heritage” in which military installations named after Confederate officers and monuments are threatened by the “woke left” who want to rewrite history. And also “restoring truth and sanity to American history” by removing any mentions of slavery from various sites managed by federal National Park Service.

Former CNN host-turned-independent podcaster Don Lemon has been arrested by the FBI in over his accompanying anti-ICE libs into a church run by a pro-MAGA pastor in St Paul, Minnesota earlier this month, the New York Times reports. It’s not clear if he’s actually been indicted.

“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court,” said Lemon’s very fucking smart and tenacious lawyer Abbe Lowell in a statement.

Fate giveth Aileen Cannon, faith taketh away Aileen Cannon. Convicted felon President Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service has landed in front of Obama appointee Judge Kathleen Williams, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports on a nightmarishly bad hand for the fat fuck.
