Watch the trusty MD-80 show off its old-school 'power-back'-using reverse thrust to back itself away from the gate! while most modern jets rely on tugs, the MD-80 (and its DC-9/727 cousins) had aft-mounted engines and reversible clamshell buckets that technically allowed it. But why don't we see this anymore?... show more

ENERGY ... What you send out you will get back in return! Sometimes the most valuable thing you can give is your time and today i went back to my old school Malvern for there amazing yearly event Malfest .... I loved my days at Malvern Primary School and its nice to give something back, help them raise money , see so many mums dads nans grandads and the kids all raving away Most importantly though it makes me feel good and it sends out all the positive happy loving caring energy that i want to come back to me ... Believe me this is so important. Sometimes its easy to fall into negative blame and complain mode whether thats in your actions, the way you speak or what your posting online but thats all i will get back in return if i live that way. The one person you speak to the most is yourself , make them conversations nice positive caring ones. Send out the energy that you want to come back to you Hope everyone enjoyed it today xxxx

Robert Kennedy Junior says that the powers that be are jangling the keys of division to distract the American people from the fact that they are buying up Ukraine's farmland and that when he gets into office the payday for BlackRock and Vanguard will be over: "When we give the money to Ukraine we call it a loan. Nobody is going to pay that back. What it does it allows us to put the screws on Ukraine. We sign a contract with them that compels Ukraine to do certain things and one of things is to sell most of its assets for cash, including its farmland. Who do you think the biggest buyer is of that land? Why are we in this war? We know who is making the money from this war. They are doing it right in front of us. The strategy that allows them to get away with it is they keep us all at each others throats. Blacks against whites, Republicans against Democrats, Rural people against urban people. When the rulers of the castle, the king and queen look over the castle wall at the top and see all of their subjects fighting they go back to the dining room and they open champagne and they toast to each other. Because as long as we are all fighting each other we can't see what they are doing. It's like someone who is jangling keys. Look at these keys. And over here they are robbing the bank and nobody is watching them. I have my eye on them. When I get into that office the payday is going to be over for Blackrock and Vanguard."

🚨WHOA!!! Gravity Just Got Outmatched… Watch a C-17 Drop Out of the Sky Using Reverse Thrust Most people think giant cargo aircraft descend slowly in wide lazy circles. Not the American 🇺🇸 C-17. What you’re seeing in this footage is one of the most aggressive controlled descents ever engineered into a military aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster can actually deploy thrust reversers while still in the air… something almost no other jet transport can safely do. When those massive engines flip into reverse thrust, the physics of the aircraft changes instantly. Instead of the engines pushing the aircraft forward… they begin fighting the forward motion of the airplane. The result is dramatic. The aircraft can transition from flying nearly parallel to the horizon… to a steep nose-down descent that looks almost perpendicular compared to the Earth below. Pilots can drop altitude incredibly fast… going from high cruising altitude to landing approach in just a couple minutes. Why does this matter? Because the C-17 was built for battlefield logistics. It was designed to fly into dangerous airspace, descend rapidly to avoid threats, land on short or rough runways, unload equipment or troops, and get back into the air before anyone has time to react. That rapid descent capability allows the aircraft to minimize time exposed to enemy radar or missile threats. The moment the thrust reversers are disengaged, the aircraft stabilizes instantly and transitions back into normal controlled flight for landing. It’s a perfect example of American aerospace engineering. Four massive turbofan engines… flight computers… and aerodynamics working together to make a 585,000-pound aircraft move like a precision instrument in the sky. For people who have never seen reverse thrust used mid-air before… this footage is a rare look at how military airlift aircraft operate when seconds matter. It’s one of the coolest demonstrations of aviation physics you’ll ever see. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

While the Wellfleet Nebraska tornado of 2025 had many extremely photogenic and memorable moments, perhaps my fondest memory was shortly after saving the semi-truck drivers life by stopping him from driving into the tornado, as the tornado nearly died but roared back to life. While not its most photogenic moment, I was yards away from the vortex, hearing its hiss as it spun the sand of the Nebraska sandhills into a slurry. Watching the video again, I feel like I'm back there, hunkered behind my vehicle to protect me from flying debris or hail. As the tornado came back to life I laughed because I had already spent such a long time dancing with this twister, I couldn't believe the show might go on. And it even got BETTER! See the full 35 minutes of RAW footage of this chase and another 85 minutes of other tornadoes of 2025 in my latest video. Link in comments.

This is Simon and he was arrested for this video. He isn't allowed to see his little girl. He's fought for years since she was 9 months old. He's had an on off relationship due to mother taking him to court and stopping contact, over ridiculous things. The bond is so tight it picks up quickly though. Thank God, but he's currently gone since October, no contact. It's now late February. Off the back of this video mother claimed HE sexualised her. Although daily on social media we see this stuff and love it. Judges and family courts need to be educated on social media, this was innocent fun.

If coffee was truly as harmless and “beneficial” as we’re told… Would it really be one of the most widely available, cheapest, and most socially accepted drugs on the planet? Is it a coincidence that the substance keeping society running on the 9–5 hamster wheel also quietly shrinks the part of the brain that connects you to your intuition and helps you see beyond the veil of the system itself? Society is full of people who are awake enough to work, but spiritually they remain asleep. A society that is wide awake in its labor, yet fast asleep in its spirit, is easy to control. This is why there’s a quiet war on the pineal gland. We know fluoride calcifies it, but coffee straight up shrinks it. When the pineal gland is active, you trust your intuition, see through illusions, propaganda, distractions and manipulation, and you feel connected to your higher self. Mystics called the third eye “the gateway to awakening" for a reason. But every day people trade their power for an empty drink that slowly numbs their soul... I used to do the same for YEARS until I went a month without caffeine (no tea either) and realized what a massive difference it makes in how you feel and operate. Once you quit, you can't go back to poisoning yourself. 💯

The Islamic regime in Iran is waging war on its own people. Thousands of protesters have been murdered, and a near-total internet blackout has been imposed so the world won’t see the brutality. But the Iranian people keep showing up anyway — risking their lives for freedom. This isn’t political dissent like we see in the West. This is a rebellion against an Islamist theocracy that has controlled every aspect of life for nearly 50 years. A regime that tells women what to wear, citizens what to say, and people what they’re allowed to believe — all enforced by fear, prisons, and death. Iran was not always like this. Before 1979, it was modern, secular, and connected to the world. Since the Islamic Republic took power, it has become the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — pouring billions into Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis while its own people sink into poverty and despair. That’s why protesters are chanting: We don’t care about Gaza. We don’t care about Lebanon. They want dignity at home. They want their country back. Women are removing their hijabs. Students are marching. The Iranian people are calling for regime change — and they need the world to stand with them. If you believe in human rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and freedom itself, this is the moment to speak up. To the people of Iran: you are not alone. We see you. We support you. Free Iran from the Islamic Republic.

Tennessee Brando: Here is the difference between Mamdani and Trump. Trump talked a good game. He fed people a bunch of bullshit that he never had any intention of ever following through on. Mamdani is getting stuff done, and people are seeing results. Should we say the words 'democratic socialism'? Yes. Do not shy away from it. Do not back away from it. Lean into it full-chested because what those wins did was say to the establishment, 'We're tired of you. We don't want you. We want this vision. This is the direction we want to see the party go.' Drag them kicking and screaming -- they may not want to go along with us, but they will if enough of us gets behind it.

Several people have messaged me about the Fire Dept getting dispatched to Columbia Metro shortly after 7pm for an aircraft emergency so here’s the ATC tapes of what happened with a little explainer below. An American Airlines regional carrier (PSA Airlines) operating flight 5108 from Reagan National (Callsign Blue Streak 5108) was on final approach and they received an EICAS message for “inop steering” so they broke off the approach at 7:04pm and went out and held while they worked through the issue. EICAS = Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System (think of this as the check engine light on your car, but a bit more advanced bc it will tell you what the issue is.) At 7:17pm they were done working the issue and advised they were ready to come back to the airport. The airport had emergency equipment standing by just in case there was an issue and at 7:28pm they touched down and rolled off one of the high speed taxiways and originally waited for airport ops to provide a tug to tow them to the gate, but the flight crew was able to use some differential thrust (using thrust from one engine to steer the aircraft) and they were able to safely get to the gate with no further issues. Shortly after 7:30pm airport ops had completed a fod check on runway 11/29 and advised everything was good and to show the runway back open. Fod = foreign object debris. Basically they checked to make sure the aircraft didn’t lose any parts when it landed. In the end it was about a 30 min delay but no one was hurt and everything is all good.

WORST CRYPTO SEASON 🚨 I feel sad looking at the level of greed people are having for crypto, and they lose it all trying to be rich quickly. Manipulation is huge to take off everyone, and now that I can see everyone talking about the top being here for the season, I don't feel that yet ‼️ Look how Binance's newly launched all projects are 80% down from the launchpad, And CZ posted a meme coin tweet it pumped 100x in 4 hours, sucking up liquidity,y and then again dumped 80% from the top in 2 hours. I feel we gonna see another rally after sometime and 90% will be sidelined as they lost everything in this dump. Only people with the most holding on the spot will survive the pump rest will be thrown out. Also, the meme coins launched back to back + those influencers promoting meme coins and asking people to put liquidity in it did wrong this cycle. Blue chip memes are 90% down and small ones 98% down from the recent top. #cryptomarket #altcoins #bitcoin $BTC $ETH

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.

80% of pitching velocity comes from rotation. The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing hard down the mound. They try to push to create as much linear momentum as possible. That’s actually the wrong way to approach it. When you push, it becomes much harder to rotate effectively. Rotation is where most of your pitching velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for about 80 percent of your velocity. If you take away from that separation, you’re taking away from your velocity. That’s why even from your knees you should be able to throw about 80 percent of your top velocity. What we want to do is maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. Your pelvis fires toward the target while the ribcage, shoulders, and pec stay back. That stretch creates torque through your torso. That torque is what propels the arm through the throw. I created a full guide on this, so if you want it, comment guide below and I’ll send it over.

When Adam’s stock price dropped by 92% he borrowed money to buy back $6 billion in stock. That bet made the company more than $60 billion: “If no one's going to buy our shares why don't we just start buying our own shares? The company at the bottom was worth $3.8 billion. And we were generating over a billion dollars of EBITDA. Well in theory we could buy back 20% of the shares of the company just in the next year if we really believed in the path we were on. So we kicked that off. But we did it a little bit differently than what most companies do. Most companies go out and say I'm going to buy shares from the public markets and just take shares back. But you don't know who's on the other side of that trade. On the other hand we knew that we had a cap table where about 50% of the shares were going to sell at some point over the coming years. We had private equity investors that owned roughly 50% of the shares of the company alongside some other founders that were no longer there. So instead of going to the public we went to the shareholders that we knew were going to sell and got them to agree to sell back to us over time. And so for the following 18 months we ended up deploying around $6 billion of buybacks using our own capital and we leveraged some to buy back shares in the company. And over time that ended up creating somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 to $60 billion of actual proceeds from the buyback. It was one of the most successful buybacks in the history of companies.”

🚨 MAN BUYS 80 PIZZA HUTS TO BRING BACK THE ICONIC VERSION AMERICA MISSED — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, owns more than 80 Pizza Hut franchises across the country, and he’s now turning many of them back into the old-school Pizza Huts millions of Americans grew up with. While most restaurant chains keep replacing everything with self-checkout screens, gray walls, and sterile modern redesigns… Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember: • red plastic cups • Pac-Man machines • packed salad bars • giant family booths • Tiffany-style lamps hanging over the tables And people are getting unexpectedly emotional over it. Some of these restored “classic” Pizza Huts are now becoming top-performing locations because customers say it doesn’t just feel like pizza anymore… It feels like stepping back into a completely different era of life. Sparks says the mission is bigger than nostalgia. He wants to rebuild places where families actually sit together again, put their phones down, and talk the way they used to. Now the internet is flooding the comments: • “This feels more human than modern restaurants” • “We didn’t realize how good we had it” • “This is what childhood felt like” • “Why does this make me emotional?” Some customers are reportedly driving HOURS just to eat inside one because they say modern restaurants lost the feeling that made people love them in the first place. Now people are asking: Did corporations deliberately turn restaurants into cold, forgettable spaces... because real human connection was never the priority anymore? 📹: CBS19

🚨 MAN BUYS 80 PIZZA HUTS TO BRING BACK THE ICONIC VERSION AMERICA MISSED — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, owns more than 80 Pizza Hut franchises across the country, and he’s now turning many of them back into the old-school Pizza Huts millions of Americans grew up with. While most restaurant chains keep replacing everything with self-checkout screens, gray walls, and sterile modern redesigns… Sparks is bringing back the version people actually remember: • red plastic cups • Pac-Man machines • packed salad bars • giant family booths • Tiffany-style lamps hanging over the tables And people are getting unexpectedly emotional over it. Some of these restored “classic” Pizza Huts are now becoming top-performing locations because customers say it doesn’t just feel like pizza anymore… It feels like stepping back into a completely different era of life. Sparks says the mission is bigger than nostalgia. He wants to rebuild places where families actually sit together again, put their phones down, and talk the way they used to. Now the internet is flooding the comments: • “This feels more human than modern restaurants” • “We didn’t realize how good we had it” • “This is what childhood felt like” • “Why does this make me emotional?” Some customers are reportedly driving HOURS just to eat inside one because they say modern restaurants lost the feeling that made people love them in the first place.

When Adam’s stock price dropped by 92% he borrowed money to buy back $6 billion in stock. That bet made the company more than $60 billion: “If no one's going to buy our shares why don't we just start buying our own shares? The company at the bottom was worth $3.8 billion. And we were generating over a billion dollars of EBITDA. Well in theory we could buy back 20% of the shares of the company just in the next year if we really believed in the path we were on. So we kicked that off. But we did it a little bit differently than what most companies do. Most companies go out and say I'm going to buy shares from the public markets and just take shares back. But you don't know who's on the other side of that trade. On the other hand we knew that we had a cap table where about 50% of the shares were going to sell at some point over the coming years. We had private equity investors that owned roughly 50% of the shares of the company alongside some other founders that were no longer there. So instead of going to the public we went to the shareholders that we knew were going to sell and got them to agree to sell back to us over time. And so for the following 18 months we ended up deploying around $6 billion of buybacks using our own capital and we leveraged some to buy back shares in the company. And over time that ended up creating somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 to $60 billion of actual proceeds from the buyback. It was one of the most successful buybacks in the history of companies.”

God designed our world to be filled with infinite, abundant aether energy. It's literally all around us; more than enough to power all of the world's energy needs many times over. All Old World buildings were constructed to harness this energy, and bring free power to the people. This is why they all have giant spires, made of highly-conductive materials, with bulbs underneath filled with MERCURY that spun from the charge, and generated electricity. (Cathedral = Cathode-ral) 🏛️⚡️ Most of these Aether-harvesting structures were destroyed during the Reset Wars, as part of the grand wipe of our true history and worldwide campaign to disconnect us from nature. But the few that still stand hold the blueprint for how we can correct course, and take our energy sovereignty back. The only thing stopping us from escaping the pay-to-play energy system our controllers have trapped us in, and reconnecting to the abundant energy that surrounds us and is just waiting to be tapped into...is—and stop me if you've heard this one before—the limiting belief that all of this is just a "crazy conspiracy theory". While we can literally see it all around us, all over the world lol. The path we choose is up to us, and will change the course of history forever.

Russian fighter jets, renowned for their engineering prowess and combat effectiveness, stand as a testament to the nation’s storied aerospace legacy. Models like the Sukhoi Su-57, MiG-35, and Su-35S exemplify a blend of cutting-edge technology, raw power, and battlefield versatility, often regarded as some of the finest in the world. Their majesty lies not only in their sleek, aerodynamic designs but also in their ability to dominate the skies through superior performance, advanced systems, and adaptability to modern warfare. The Sukhoi Su-57, Russia’s fifth-generation stealth fighter, is a pinnacle of innovation. Its angular design minimizes radar cross-section, while supercruise capability allows sustained supersonic flight without afterburners, conserving fuel and extending range. Equipped with advanced avionics, including AI-driven systems and 360-degree sensor fusion, the Su-57 can detect and engage targets with precision, even in contested environments. Its thrust-vectoring engines enable unmatched maneuverability, allowing it to perform complex aerobatic maneuvers like the Pugachev Cobra, showcasing agility that outclasses many Western counterparts. The Su-35S, a 4.5-generation multirole fighter, is another jewel in Russia’s crown. Powered by AL-41F1S engines, it boasts exceptional speed (Mach 2.25) and a combat radius exceeding 1,500 kilometers. Its Irbis-E radar can track up to 30 targets simultaneously, while its weapon suite, including long-range air-to-air missiles and precision-guided munitions, ensures dominance in both air superiority and ground-attack roles. The jet’s robust airframe and electronic countermeasures make it resilient against modern threats, earning it respect in global exercises and conflicts. The MiG-35, an evolution of the legendary MiG-29, combines affordability with lethality. Its lightweight design, coupled with RD-33MK engines, delivers a thrust-to-weight ratio that rivals heavier fighters. Advanced optronics and helmet-mounted displays enhance pilot situational awareness, while its compatibility with a wide array of munitions makes it a versatile platform for diverse missions.Russian jets excel due to their design philosophy: ruggedness, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability. Unlike some Western fighters, which rely heavily on stealth, Russian aircraft prioritize maneuverability and firepower, allowing them to engage in dogfights or long-range strikes with equal proficiency. Their ability to operate from austere airfields and withstand harsh conditions further enhances their global appeal. Exported to nations like India, China, and Vietnam, these jets have proven their reliability in varied climates and combat scenarios, cementing Russia’s reputation for building some of the world’s most formidable fighter aircraft. Their blend of innovation, power, and combat-proven performance makes them a majestic force in the skies.

WOW 🚨 The Pacific Palisades fire cleanup contractor is not actually cleaning up and removing the debris, they’re just burying the debris on Los Angeles fire victims properties Huge slabs of concrete and more are being buried on people’s properties, which will cost them a fortune in problems later on California “We're out here in Pacific Palisades and we're finishing up a job that the Corps of Engineers had certified as complete. They told the homeowner they'd removed all the foundations and footings so we came back in here to finish up and they had intentionally buried all of the footings to hide them so that they could go ahead and move on. And these were 4 foot by 4 foot by 6 foot about 100ft around the property. So tons of concrete that we couldn't even see when we bit it because they intentionally buried it.” “We'll end up paying for this and just eating the cost. But thanks Corps of Engineers. Giant footings, number one rebar in them. Steel piers that they cut off and hid. Big old I beams that they buried.”

Here is some videos of the larger craft from 12-4-2024 and some of the UFO Spheres from 12-3-2024. The Spheres have been here every night this week. They have been down low by the house like normal but we have seen many of them flying all around the area very fast. They will blink very fast or keep the plasma field on but at a lower brightness than when they are just hovering beside the house. On 12-4-2024 we were watching the Spheres flying all around then we saw the larger UFO appear after a helicopter circled the area. It stayed beside the house for over an hour only moving about 800 meters in that amount of time. It was under 1000 feet in altitude and bigger than C-17 aircraft. It looked saucer shaped but wider in the center and tapered around the edges. It was showing up very hot on the thermal camera even though no visible light at all was coming from it. The Spheres showed up cold on the thermal camera when the plasma field was not glowing when we filmed them closer up before. This larger craft had the plasma field around it just like the Spheres but it was not glowing. We could not see the craft with our naked eyes or on the starlight camera or IR cameras. Only the thermal camera would pick it up. Can see how the air around it is shimmering and can see the field around it. It looked better in person but what I filmed is important because you all will see this again on some daytime close up videos! I have watched these craft up close many times and they have this plasma field around them and even when its not glowing its there. In the daytime you can see the air shimmering around the craft very good. We have seen them use this to bend the light around the craft someway and turn the craft almost completely invisible but you could still see the air shimmering around the craft. I had some cheap starlight cameras that would pick the larger crafts up when the Spheres were beside them glowing and the larger craft was almost invisible. The glow from the Spheres plasma would outline were the larger craft was and we could see it on those starlight cameras. We had a handheld digital starlight camera when this craft was over us and it would not pick it up at all. This is the real UFOs and we have seen them here for over twenty years and after the close encounters in 2012 they started staying very close to us and showing up very often. Even when we cant see them we have seen things to let us know they are near us. The Spheres can change shape and we have them on videos doing it. The larger craft we have seen have all looked different but the Spheres are a constant even though they can change shape. During the close encounter on 11-8-2012 there were many of the Spheres and two larger U shaped craft that the Beings came out of. On 2-16-2023 there was a larger craft here that was over 300 meters long and is the biggest craft we have seen the Spheres with. Then we saw this craft that we have seen before a few times including in the daytime. The Spheres have been with each of the larger craft every time. The Spheres act like they guard and protect the larger craft each time they are around. Sometimes they stay very close to them and on 2-16-2023 some of the Spheres were going in the bottom of the giant craft or attaching to the bottom of it and there was an electrical charge or something that would go all around the larger craft when the Spheres attached or went into it. When this larger craft on the 4th was sitting there we saw several of the Spheres flying around really fast with the plasma field on a constant low glow. We have seen them doing this all around the area this whole week. The other ones were down low beside the house and that's were they normally stay close to when they show themselves. I'm not sure what the ones flying all around were doing. Its really different activity the way they were acting. Monday there were so many doing this in every direction we could not count them all. It had to be in the hundreds. We watch the radars also and watch all the aircraft around us during these events and none of the craft we were seeing shows on any public radar sites. The military radar site does not show them either. Monday there was a large increase in commercial fights and some of these aircraft had to see all the smaller craft flying around really fast. Some had the plasma glowing constant but many had it flashing really fast. Way faster than the navigation lights of regular aircraft. Many of the so called drones being seen around the world and in America the last few weeks are these craft and there are some videos going around from New Jersey that shows these craft but some are showing something that looks more man made. On the ones that look more man made there has been sound that sounds like jet engines on many I have seen. The craft here make ZERO sound most of the time! We have only heard a few very strange sounds come from them over the years. One sound sounded like a giant transformer humming during the close encounter on 11-8-2012 and on 2-16-2023 we heard what sounded like very loud trumpets come from the sky! We were not the only ones that heard that. People up the road that can not see this area and that knows nothing about what's going on here told us they heard the trumpet sounds and thought it was the end of the world and told us they started praying! They also told us they saw a light floating through the trees back toward our land. There has been some other strange sounds also and something really strange is in the summer time there are hundreds of thousand of frogs in the swamps around our land when its raining more and when the UFOs show up all the frogs will stop singing at one time. This is on some of the videos I have. When you are out there beside the swamps and there are that many frogs singing then they all stop at one time its very strange! Its not just the frogs, all the animals and insects seem like they stop. Sometimes they do it right before the plasma field turns on and sometimes right after. Two of my male dogs would go crazy also right before the UFOs show themselves. I have other dogs but those two were super sensitive to whatever was coming from the UFOs. I think they all are hearing something from the UFOs that we cant hear or they are feeling what I feel from them when they are closer to me. Either way its probably something that scientist could pick up with the right equipment. #UFO #UAP #RealUFOs #Spheres #ufox #ua
