DONALD Trump swore he would be the one calling the shots but it still looks like he has handed the White House over to X boss Elon Musk – probably in exchange for a free lifetime supply of Tesla golf carts.
The real kicker? When the billionaire’s four-year-old son, Lil X, was spotted wandering the Oval Office this week, he became the most mature person to occupy the room since January 20.

New York State residents still haunted by their exes were given the perfect Valentine’s revenge. The VIA Aquarium in Schenectady allowed people to name a cockroach after them for just $1.

Thieves in Pennsylvania have stolen 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer. And with egg prices soaring, police suspect an industry insider may be behind the crime.
