Somebody should call the police to do a local wellness check on the House of Mouse.

Because things do not appear to be okay at the Walt Disney Company.

This week brought with it the news that Disney had commenced its third round of layoffs in as many years — and with still months left to go in 2026.

A Disney representative confirmed with The Wrap that the company was laying off swathes of employees across a number of prominent divisions.

This latest round of Disney layoffs include corporate jobs, roles at ESPN and National Geographic, and multiple positions across the company’s film and television divisions.

But The Wrap noted that it’s actually one of Disney’s most venerable — and recently successful — studios that’s being hit hardest.

The most significant layoffs that occurred during this round happened at Pixar Studios, the studio mastermind behind hit films such as “Toy Story” and “Up.”

Pixar suffered 116 layoffs, despite having just recently released the critically and commercially successful “Toy Story 5.”

(Of note, “Toy Story 5” focused on a straightforward tale about the dangers of excessive screen time, abandoning some of the more controversial elements that have hindered some of their other recent releases.)

“These changes are part of our continual evaluation of how we manage resources and reinvest across the company as our industry continues to evolve,” the Disney representative told The Wrap.

The New York Post described this latest round of layoffs as a “fresh bloodbath,” noting that this has become something of an increasingly common Disney tradition.

In April, Disney had already made sweeping cuts. Before that, there were significant layoffs in 2024 and 2023.

(2023 included some global cuts, as well.)

The Wrap reported that “Toy Story 5” had already cleared $957 million at the global box office — and is well positioned to cross that vaunted billion-dollar mark.

Disney did insist that this latest round of layoffs has more to do with the changing media landscape than poor box office performances.

And despite just losing another 100-plus employees, Pixar still has plenty of work to do at the box office, and they’ll have two big chances to satisfy their Disney bosses in the near future.

Pixar has announced an original feature, “Gatto,” as well as a sequel to the highly-beloved superhero franchise, “Incredibles 3.”

President Donald J. Trump announced that the Kingdom of Morocco is naming a major new expressway in his honor: the President Donald J. Trump Highway.

Trump shared his gratitude on Truth Social, thanking King Mohammed VI and expressing excitement about one day traveling the full length of the impressive infrastructure project.

“Thank you to Highly Respected Mohammed VI, the King of Morocco — Such a Great Honor! I look forward to traveling the entire length of this Great Highway someday, hopefully soon!”

The President Donald J. Trump Highway refers to the ambitious Tiznit-Dakhla Expressway, stretching approximately 1,055 kilometers (more than 655 miles) along Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The route connects northern regions to key southern provinces, including Laayoune and Dakhla in the Moroccan Sahara, strengthening economic development, trade, and regional connectivity.

The multibillion-dollar infrastructure project is widely viewed as a strategic investment designed to expand commerce, improve transportation, and link Atlantic Morocco with emerging economic opportunities across the Sahel.

Moroccan and international reports describe the highway as more than a transportation corridor—a “road of peace and prosperity” intended to stimulate growth in historically underserved southern territories. Promotional videos released in conjunction with the announcement showcase sweeping desert landscapes, modern engineering, and the flags of both Morocco and the United States.

The announcement also underscores the enduring relationship between the United States and Morocco, one of America’s oldest diplomatic partnerships. In 1777, Morocco became the first nation to recognize the independence of the United States.

During his first administration, President Trump strengthened that relationship by recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a decision that Rabat hailed as historic and that reinforced security cooperation, economic ties, and regional diplomacy within the broader framework of the Abraham Accords.

Spain, meanwhile, continues to navigate a more delicate position. Madrid officially supports a United Nations-led political process for Western Sahara while maintaining complex diplomatic, economic, and security ties with neighboring Morocco. In recent years, Spain has backed Morocco’s autonomy initiative as the “most serious, realistic and credible” basis for resolving the dispute, seeking to preserve stability and cooperation on migration, trade, and counterterrorism despite domestic political debate over the issue. This has been the position of Spain’s president Sanchez against the will of the majority of Spaniards. There rae reports that the residents has private communications intercepted by Morocco and he is been subject to extorsion.

In any event, Morocco’s decision to honor President Trump reflects the kingdom’s appreciation for his support of its territorial position and the close strategic partnership developed during his presidency.

As Trump noted in his message, the designation represents a “Great Honor” bestowed by a “Highly Respected” ally—highlighting a relationship that both nations continue to describe as one of longstanding friendship and mutual strategic importance.

The senior Pentagon advisor caught on O’Keefe Media Group hidden camera bashing President Trump last Wednesday is no longer with the Department of Navy.

As previously reported, James O’Keefe wore a disguise (a mustache and pair of glasses) and went on a ‘date’ with senior Navy official Brandon Newsom.

“Meet Brandon Newsom, a senior official in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy for 16 years. He oversees corporate operations supporting Secretary Hegseth, including HR, IT, security, facilities, records management, and implementation of executive orders,” James O’Keefe said.

Brandon Newsom told James O’Keefe that he will make sure to undo whatever President Trump has done.

“I’ve seen some things. In true D.C. nature, you don’t always reveal everything in D.C,” Newsom told O’Keefe.

“I have the influence…., I can undo whatever’s been done,” Newsom told James O’Keefe.

Newsom also bashed President Trump: “I think Trump is a narcissist.”

“Yeah. I think it’s [War in Iran] completely stupid, but it’s driven on one man’s [President Trump] ego to me, in my own personal opinion,” he said.

“I mean, you could be a news reporter,” Newsom said to O’Keefe.

Newsom said he will seek to reverse the Pentagon’s monthly voluntary Christian prayer service.

“This begs the question: If a government director says he can slow or reverse a sitting President’s agenda, who really governs the country? Is it the individual Americans elect or the career officials who outlast every administration?” James O’Keefe said.

Last week, Brandon Newsom, was placed on leave.

“The Department of the Navy takes the conduct shown in this video extremely seriously. Such statements and apparent intent to leverage a position to undermine the policies and direction set by our elected leaders are inappropriate and incompatible with the standards expected of Department personnel,” Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao said.

“Effective immediately, this individual has been placed on administrative leave while we determine next steps to ensure accountability and protect the integrity of our mission,” he said.

Former Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, host of the Matt Gaetz show on OAN, talked with former Top Gun fighter pilot and author Ed Rush about military strategies in Iran.

“I want to talk about Iran first. We’ve seen Uncle Sam dominate the skies over the Persian Empire. How do you see that impacting the military strategy at this stage of the war?” Gaetz asked.

“I mean, as a pilot, you know, it’s great to see air dominance. That’s literally the first thing you want to do when you take to war,” Rush said.

“As a Marine pilot, I could say that you know, there is only so much air power can do,” Rush continued.

“I do want to get into what you see as the limits of air power in this campaign to accomplish the objective?” Gaetz asked.

“The first you can do with air power is air superiority, and that’s like the most important thing to do first in war, cut off communication lines. Stop what’s called the CADS or the enemy IADS, integrated air defense systems,” Rush said.

“Make it so that you can fly anything, anywhere, including helicopters, drop troops off anywhere. That’s really like one of the first things you do in any sort of traditional combat, but then what you do is you start to take the ground. And that’s really where the air power begins to be very limited,” Rush explained.

“Once it comes to actually taking the ground, that’s where air power begins to get limited, and we’ve seen that, like in the last 30 years of war,” Rush continued.

“What do you think it will take to accomplish those objectives on the ground?” Gaetz asked.

“That’s really the question is like, what are the objectives? You know we’ve been to the bargaining table, I think three times now with the people, a group of people that you know, clearly lie for a living,” Rush commented.

Gaetz and Rush talked about the potential of the military to take Kharg Island. They discussed taking the island and the strategical difficulties of actually holding the island.

“I think you have to start taking at the very least some strategic targets like Kharg Island,” Rush said.

“I think at the very least start taking some ground that is important to Iran so that we can start to put a little stranglehold on their energy,” Rush commented.

“It would be the Marines that would do that. We all know it from the planning. It would be the Marines having to execute an amphibious assault on Kharg Island. I think they would be very effective at doing that. My concern is how we would hold Kharg Island? You have elevated positions in the Persian mountains. You have embedded missile systems there,” Gaetz commented.

“Should we think about taking Kharg Island and holding Kharg Island is two very different mission sets,” Gaetz explained.

“I think it’s one of the reasons why we haven’t done it, and basically the moment you take that island, the entire shift of the entire area of operations turns into that island,” Rush said.

A family from California is claiming that a brutal attack at the swanky Kaanapali Alii resort in West Maui had anti-White motivations.

The family, who have not been named, says they were targeted as “haole boys” before being brutally attacked, leaving at least six people needing medical help, and one man was left with a large head wound which required more than a dozen staples to close the wound.

“Haole” is slang for Whites, especially in a Hawaiian or local Hawaii context. While it can be used in a less hostile colloquial way, it is often used as a racial slur as a pejorative, underscoring historical tensions over colonization, outsiders, or cultural differences.

One of the family members, Joseph Headfield, said the physical violence was preceded by racial threats from a woman he described as the group’s ringleader.

“There were three females, one of which was the ringleader,” Headfield told Hawaii News Now.

“She got up in people’s faces, said, ‘We’re going to beat up your boys tonight. We’re going to beat up the haole boys.’”

According to local reports, a brawl broke out around 10 p.m. on July 17 at the Kaanapali Alii resort. The visitors from California, ranging in age from 17 to 62, relayed to police that they were assaulted after a group of young people allegedly threw chairs and attacked members of their family.

Per The New York Post:

Relatives told HNN the confrontation was the culmination of an evening of escalating tensions, alleging a group of Maui youths had been harassing visitors earlier near Whalers Village before the violence erupted at the resort.

Police arrested a 20-year-old Makawao man on suspicion of assault.

He was later released as detectives continued their investigation.

Although the family believes the incident was racially motivated, police have not classified the assault as a hate crime.
