On Thursday night, Elon Muck showcased his latest absolutely amazing technological advancement!

Elon unveiled his next-generation Tesla Roadster during an event in Texas, showing off a car that can fly, do flips, and go from 0 to 60 mph in under one second.

During the event, a demonstration showed the car hovering off the ground, then flipping over multiple cars and a semi-truck cab.

“This will be an actual car that’s on the roads. You know, I’m not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions,” Musk joked. “But there will be such a car that someone can own, so it’s going to be pretty wild.”

Following this mind-blowing display, X user Maze posted a previous clip of blathering idiot Democrat Darling, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), trashing Elon Musk as an unintelligent billionaire… with the flying Tesla in the background!

AOC: “This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed.”

Here is this epic video by Maze.

Of course, this was posted on Elon-owned X social media. Epic.

President Trump on Friday responded to rumors that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is on the chopping block as leaks from around the White House suggest that he’s looking for a replacement. 

Amid reports that Wiles was sidelined in Trump’s decision to hire Katie Zacharia as Press Secretary last week, according to anonymous sources who claimed he did not consult with her, Politico reported this week that Trump is turning sour on Wiles.

According to anonymous sources in Trump world, Trump has been asking allies for their thoughts on Wiles and potential replacements for the Chief of Staff role.

An unnamed senior elected Republican official told Politico that Trump had floated White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, President of the New York Yankees Randy Levine, Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as possible successors. 

“TOTAL FAKE NEWS Politico doesn’t care about facts, integrity, or honest journalism — it’s why I kicked them out of the White House!” Trump said in response to Politico on Thursday. “Susie Wiles is my loyal and longest serving Chief of Staff – there is a reason for that. She has been with me since the beginning, is my trusted advisor, and has my COMPLETE confidence. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Now, the Daily Mail reports that seven insiders confirmed “three warring factions” of “Wiles loyalists, Jared Kushner allies, and the MAGA old guard” are pushing for their own choice of a replacement. Wiles allies are reportedly promoting deputy national security adviser Mike Needham, Kushner allies want Steve Witkoff or Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and the “MAGA old guard” are all in for Stephen Miller.

Others suggest John McEntee, who served as Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office during Trump’s first term, is in the ring as a “wildcard.”

However, Trump dumped cold water on the rumors on Friday, telling reporters it’s a “false report that was written by Politico.” He continued, It’s fake news.”

“I could not be more happy with Susie. She’s done a great job from day one,” he added, noting that Wiles recently recovered from cancer and that she’s “fully recovered.”

“She’s been fantastic. It’s been one of the most successful administrations in the world, and she’s a part of it,” he added. “That story in Politico, I guess it was, is a total fake story. And we told them before they wrote it, so they put my disclaimer in there… But they put it in anyway because they’re fake news. That is a totally false story.”

Trump later doubled down, telling another reporter, “She’s been incredible. We’ve had maybe the most successful first two years, and it’s not even two years, in the history of the presidency. She’s been my chief of staff. She’s smart. She’s tough.”

Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria is out after 10 years, and the company is replacing her as it cuts about 1,000 jobs.

Former Disney and Fox executive Peter Rice will take the role, Variety reported Thursday. As chief content officer, Rice will lead Netflix’s global content organization, covering scripted and unscripted series, films, live events, and more.

DiscussingFilm said Bajaria was fired and that Netflix’s film chief Dan Lin is also expected to leave, subject to a final decision by Rice.

Netflix has fired their chief content officer Bela Bajaria. She will be replaced by Peter Rice, the former entertainment chairman at Disney.

Bajaria’s departure comes in the same week Netflix laid off roughly 1,000 employees, or 6 percent of its workforce, the largest cut the streamer has made since 2022.

The Western Journal reported Wednesday that the reductions hit tech, legal, product, and human resources, according to a memo from co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos.

Netflix film vice president Doug Belgrad and film director Sheroum Kim were also let go in the restructuring, Variety said.

Netflix $NFLX Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria is out after 10 years at the company, replaced by former Disney and Fox executive Peter Rice.

The shake-up follows around 1,000 layoffs (6% of staff) this week and Netflix’s lowest Primetime Emmy haul since 2016, winning 16 awards in 2026 compared to 30 in 2025.

When subscriber growth slows and original programming loses momentum, streaming platforms inevitably pivot from aggressive global expansion to traditional studio operators focused on core US and Canadian hits.

Sarandos expressed his gratitude to Bajaria in a statement.

“I want to thank Bela for a decade of dedication, innovation, creativity and leadership,” he said. “She led enormous changes at Netflix. She helped broaden our content offering to include the large-scale expansion of unscripted programming and the launches of live events and sports, in addition to crafting and running a world class, global slate of films and series.”

In a staff memo, he called it “a big change in a year that has already had its share,” and said he saw an opportunity to take the slate “to the next level,” especially in the United States and Canada.

Bajaria joined Netflix in 2016 after leaving NBCUniversal, where she had been president of Universal Television.

She first helped to launch Netflix’s unscripted division, and later became head of global TV in 2020 and chief content officer in January 2023.

Under her watch, the company had series including “Bridgerton,” “Squid Game,” “Stranger Things,” and “Wednesday,” and films such as “KPop Demon Hunters.”

She also pushed into live sports and events, including deals with the NFL and WWE.

Netflix won 16 Primetime Emmys this year, its lowest haul since 2016, down from 30 in 2025 and well below the 44 it took in 2021.

Netflix announced today that Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria is out after nearly a decade. Former Disney and Fox executive Peter Rice takes over on October 26.

This comes one day after the company laid off roughly 1,000 employees — 6% of its workforce — its biggest cuts since 2022.

Netflix is struggling with slowing growth, weak engagement, and a stock price down nearly 40% from a year ago. YouTube and TikTok continue taking attention with free content.

Bajaria oversaw hits like Bridgerton and Squid Game plus deals with WWE and the NFL. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos thanked her for expanding unscripted programming and live events, but the numbers say the strategy is not working.

Rice was ousted from Disney in 2022 by then-CEO Bob Chapek after serving as chairman of Walt Disney Television and chairman of general entertainment.

He had overseen ABC, FX, Hulu, National Geographic, and more.

Since then, he has produced films including “Saturday Night” and “28 Years Later.” Sarandos called him “one of the most effective at-scale operators in the entertainment industry.”

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing a criminal case against former Rep. Eric Swalwell over allegations that he drugged, raped, and choked Beverly Hills woman Lonna Drewes in 2018, but no charging decision has been made.

According to multiple reports, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau is still in the early stages of investigating the allegations, which were first made public in April 2026 when Drewes accused Swalwell of drugging, sexually assaulting, and choking her during a July 2018 encounter in a West Hollywood hotel room.

Swalwell resigned from Congress in April.

In August, The Daily Mail reported, FBI agents confronted Swalwell with a search warrant when he landed at San Francisco Airport on Saturday. They then took the former congressman’s electronic devices, including his cell phone, reportedly as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.  Per the Standard, the warrant was issued under federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 242.

Swalwell is being accused of multiple counts of sexual misconduct and assault, a lengthy prison sentence appears firmly on the table should he be convicted.

In was previously reported that the Intel Community had a classified report detailing Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s intimate relationship with Fang Fang.

According to Axios, Fang Fang was a “bundler” for Eric Swalwell and other Democrat candidates but it was also reported the Chinese spy had an intimate relationship with Swalwell.

A source on Capitol Hill previously confirmed to the Federalist that Swalwell indeed had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

Protesters gathered in a Minnesota park this week to show their support for Ilhan Omar and her bag of deceit and fraud.

The rally for Ilhan, a nasty Trump-hating fraud, was held at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis on Monday.

The protest was organized hours after a Democrat DC judge approved a raid on Ilhan Omar’s DC home.

of course, the rally was organized by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

The red-green alliance is alive and well in Minnesota.

Wall Street Apes posted the video.

White liberals gathered in a Minnesota park to demand “Hands off Ilham Omar” and “Hands off the Somali community”

Look at this crowd, there is literally zero diversity, they’re all white liberals

This event was organized by an NGO, its name is Freedom Road Socialist Organization

They say it’s actually not the Somali community who’s the criminals, according to these white liberals it’s actually Donald Trump that’s the criminal

Somali’s in Minnesota have been linked to an estimated $9 billion dollars in fraud, this is our tax money being stolen. But white liberals don’t care about any of that

They made signs saying if you terrorize their immigrants, you’re a fascist. Also calling to abolish ICE

Where are the Somali’s protesting for Ilham Omar?? The entire crowd is white liberals

The nonprofit is Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which is a national Marxist-Leninist group with its headquarters and a major Twin Cities district presence in Minneapolis

They have “full time organizers”

Nothing is organic. All this is funded and organized
