🇦🇺 A big day for HARS Aviation Museum! The 707 is finally here. John Travolta’s former Qantas‑liveried Boeing 707 arrived at Port Kembla yesterday, after a 2 month voyage from the USA. The aircraft will be moved to Albion Park for reassembly and restoration.

@ogorangebird @NickChaps96 It’s like a classic car sitting on cinder blocks in somebody’s front yard. Embarrassing. Disney needs to tighten up.

@NickChaps96 Build something in here or tear it down. I can’t stand another decade of this thing just sitting here reminding everyone of this parks former glory.

EPCOT really needs another E ticket attraction. I know a place that’s been sitting around collecting dust… But what would you rather have? Something to finally go where the Wonders of Life Pavilion is? Or a new country WITH an attraction in it. But it would probably be a slower moving boat/dark ride.

@MrWrightWays How many hours were you in the air ?

Hello Dallas

@uncledoomer That’s partially true , newer technology wasn’t adopted due to union opposition.

we shipped these jobs overseas so that baby boomers could buy cheaper plastic bullshit

@julianku Hang them to show you’re serious

I am always amazed at what cheap dates those who spy for China are. If you are going to sell out your country, at least have the respect to demand life-changing wealth. It also may reflect that penalties for such espionage are relatively light, and rarely enforced.

@virtualmage17 I remember associating this game with saddam Hussein bc the villain was definitely him .

Desert Strike (SNES) 🚁🔥 One of the most unique games on the system at the time… Where does it rank among the SNES classics? 👀

@ColbyBadhwar It’s an integration issue among many other considerations.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Secretary of the Army Driscoll: "Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture, C2 system is absolutely incredible. It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not." Wow, if only Ukraine was offering the United States some sort of deal that would facilitate the sharing of this technology.

@mattforney Are you an attorney? Barker vs Wingo and TN seem to indicate there’s no fixed timetable where a delay in trial violates his rights.

Everyone getting mad at me for not leaping to Chud the Builder's defense is a moron who doesn't understand the is-ought distinction. Let me walk you through this using baby language. Chud will be charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter under Tennessee § 39-13-211. This is a class C felony punishable with 3-15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He WILL be charged. No DA wants to establish the precedent that IRL streamers can cause public disturbances, shoot people, and walk. Even if the DA is sympathetic to Chud, he will be under immense public pressure to charge him. There is a very good chance the case never goes to trial. The vast majority of criminal cases end in plea deals, not jury trials. If there is even a whiff of a chance Chud could be acquitted by a jury, the DA will amp up the pressure to make him accept a plea deal. DAs love plea deals because they allow them to goose conviction rates and because jury trials are expensive and time-consuming. There are any number of means by which the DA can twist Chud's arm into accepting a shitty plea deal. The most obvious one is throwing him in county lockup and waiting out the clock until the day before the right to a speedy trial expires. DAs do this FREQUENTLY; a friend of mine who shot a black guy in self-defense was held in jail for YEARS because he refused to plea out and insisted on going to trial. Does Chud have the wherewithal to stick it out in jail for that long? He will either be sharing a cell block with black criminals who will be beating the shit out of "the n-word cracka" every day or he will be put in solitary for his own safety. Solitary confinement is so damaging to inmates that it shows up on brain scans. Chud is very unlikely to get bail because based on his antics as a streamer, the nature of his offense, public pressure, and his prior arrest history, the judge will deem him a flight risk and a threat to public order. If he does get bail, it will be insanely high (bail for class C felonies can be set as high as $250,000) and he will be barred from leaving the state. If he goes back to streaming like he normally does, it will almost certainly end in another incident that sends him right back to jail. Let's assume Chud goes to trial. The pressure to convict will be high. I can foresee the prosecutor arguing that Chud shouting the n-word at black people constitutes "fighting words" (a doctrine in both Tennessee and federal law, see Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire) and thus the black guy who attacked him should be let off. His history as an IRL streamer who intentionally creates public scenes will be used by the prosecution. His defense team will surely argue self-defense, which they should, but can that overcome the public pressure to convict a racist anti-Semitic groyper who makes videos harassing black people? He's in a terrible situation. And for anyone comparing Chud to Kyle Rittenhouse, you're wrong for these reasons: 1) Rittenhouse was not seeking conflict. Chud's entire career is about starting shit. 2) Rittenhouse was inherently sympathetic as a clean-cut white kid. Chud is a racist anti-Semitic groyper with a chomostache. 3) Rittenhouse's "victims" were white. Chud shot a black guy. Should Chud be found guilty at trial, his past history of arrests and disruptive behavior will likely result in the judge giving him a harsh sentence. There will also be, again, immense public pressure to throw the book at him. If you come at me with something like "oh you think it's OKAY for black people to assault white people", you missed the point entirely and are too retarded for this discussion. Chud might be justified in defending himself. He might not deserve to go to prison. But as Clint Eastwood said, deserve's got nothing to do with it. The justice system has every incentive to bring the hammer down on him, which is why he's a retard for putting himself in this situation.

@ANTHONYBLOGAN This man was spiraling the entire time and his “fans” cheered him on. Now his life is over and another man’s life gone. All for nothing. What a tragedy

Getting sued over debt is crazy 😂 now I see why you stream so much you trying to get that monkey off your back but now you got medical bills and legal bills on top of that and your zero IQ fans said you won 😂

@Mrgunsngear I though he had MS and was disabled?

National treasure, Jordan Derrick (better known as Dugan Ashley), has been arrested by the feds. Charging language below ⬇️ His videos, that are cited in the language below, have been on the internet for years and are still up on his social media as of this post... "KANSAS CITY, Mo. – United States Attorney R. Matthew Price today announced the filing of a criminal complaint against Jordan Derrick, 40. The complaint charges Derrick with one count of engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and one count of distributing information relating to manufacturing explosives, in violation of U.S. law. The complaint alleges that beginning no later than Sept. 18, 2023, Derrick began using several social media sites to distribute videos of himself making various explosive materials, to include detonators, nickel aminoguanidine perchlorate (NAP), ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN), hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), hexamine dinitrate (HDN), Research Department eXplosive (RDX), silver acetylide double salt (SADS), trinitroxylene (TNX or R-salt), trinitrotoluene (TNT), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), aminoguanidine bicarbonate, and ammonium nitrate/nitromethane (ANNM). In his videos, Derrick provided step-by-step instructions on how to make these explosives. According to the complaint, Derrick’s videos were downloaded from his publicly available video sharing accounts and used by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the individual who conducted an attack in New Orleans on Jan. 1, 2025. Jabbar had created IEDs consistent with Derrick’s instructional videos. The devices placed by Jabbar did not detonate and were subsequently rendered safe by law enforcement. Also, according to the complaint, on May 4, 2026, an explosion occurred at a private residence in Odessa, Mo. Investigators who searched the private residence after the explosion, found two components suspected of being used in explosive devices. The occupant of the residence told investigators that he manufactured explosive devices after watching online tutorials on a social media account that is believed to be utilized by Derrick to distribute information relating to the manufacture of explosives. An investigation of the Odessa explosion is ongoing. If convicted of engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison. If convicted of unlawfully possessing an unregistered destructive device, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison. If convicted of distributing information relating to the manufacture of explosives, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. In the federal judicial system, there is not the possibility of parole. These maximum statutory sentences are prescribed by Congress, and they are provided here for informational purposes. Any sentence would be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Trey Alford and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Chlarson with valuable assistance provided by Trial Attorney Michael Dittoe of the National Security Division. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The allegations contained in the complaint are accusations, not evidence of guilt, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." #DuganAshley #HoldAnAK

@johnkonrad So we can’t build ships bc all these people won’t let us due to conflicts of interest etc. No wonder the chicoms are ahead.

So the Chao-McConnell family is going viral. Also going viral: the Navy’s new shipbuilding plan. They are related. Where do I even start? Everyone assumes Trump only recently started caring about shipbuilding. FALSE. He has cared deeply since 2016. FOUR secretaries in Trump 1.0 were shipowners: Elaine Chao, DOT: wife of Mitch McConnell and heiress to the Foremost Group dynasty. Wilbur Ross, Commerce: banker and shipowner for the Rothschilds. Rex Tillerson, State: ExxonMobil CEO, whose company owned and controlled massive tanker and LNG shipping operations. Philip Bilden, Navy: shipping private equity powerhouse and the man behind HarbourVest Asia in Hong Kong. The problem: what did they all have in common? Every one of them was a key player in the destruction of the US Merchant Marine, the offshoring of American shipbuilding, or both. Bilden was so deeply involved he couldn’t even get confirmed as Navy Secretary. Tillerson was so globalist that the State Department itself rejected him. Wilbur Ross survived the first administration. He had tight European shipping ties and was willing to push back on China. Chao is a much more interesting case. In some ways she is more complicit in the death of the Merchant Marine and American shipbuilding than anyone. On the minus side: She was married to McConnell, who backed @newtgingrich’s effort to kill the Merchant Marine Committee in the House and advance the neocon agenda to outsource everything maritime. But DC alone did not have the power to shift an entire industry (starting with ships) from 🇺🇸 to 🇨🇳. The real engine of that shift was elite academia. Walk onto the campus of Harvard Business School today. What’s the biggest new building? The Chao Center. The too business schools like Wharton (Trump’s alma mater) and Harvard did the heavy lifting to rationalize the deindustrialization of America. But it’s not as simple as people think. My favorite thing in this world is untangling complicated issues, and it’s the thing I’m best at. Maritime issues are squarely in my wheelhouse. Pull what the Colonel writes below out of context and they look like full-blown communist sympathizers. But I have met several members of the Chao family. They are either extremely good actors, or they really do love America. And they have been pummeled by both sides. Her sister, a Davos regular, was killed when her Tesla self-activated and drove into a lake. China has lashed out at the family while the DOJ investigated Elaine for ethics violations. There is also a major plus side. While every other shipping-connected appointment in Trump 1.0 sabotaged the US Merchant Marine and shipbuilding, she saved both. She delivered brand new training ships, saved Philly Shipyard, and developed the contract model that the new Navy shipbuilding plan now pivots on. She was pushing hard early in Trump 1.0 until the New York Times ran the hit piece that much of the information below is drawn from. Are the Chao-McConnells patriots? Are they loyal to China? Have they done real good? Yes. Have they done real harm? Also yes. Does the good outweigh the bad, or vice versa? All I can say is this: I know more about this subject than any maritime journalist alive, and I still have far more questions than answers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Someone absolutely should write a 1000 page book on them because, without a doubt, one of the top ten wealthiest and most powerful families in America… and a family nobody has sufficiently investigated.

@lordtknows @JadenPMcNeil Freedom of Speech means the govt can’t restrict speech it doesn’t like. Chud doesn’t understand that.

@JadenPMcNeil Freedom of speech is a slippery slope. By virtue of all these racist who think it’s okay to go around calling black people the N Word. It’s also okay for a paedophile to go up to you and say to your face your child is attractive. Be kind and maybe you won’t get your dog killed

Black thugs killed Chud The Builder's dog and the savages are celebrating in the replies

@RapidResponse47 I don’t trust Jensen , he’s a tool of the ccp

@CaptMarkKelly @mercoglianos What’s taking so long? This is old news should have been passed by now. We’re not serious about having a navy.

China is outpacing American shipbuilding because we’ve let our maritime industry decay for too long. The SHIPS for America Act will rebuild American shipping and shipbuilding, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our national security.

@RepJudyChu Gas is high in California because they’re not connected, CA is basically a fuel island. Between geography and environmental regs CA will always have high gas prices

Gas prices in America are up more than 50% since the Iran War started. Californians are paying $6.16 a gallon. Instead of doing anything about it, Trump is asking for $1 billion taxpayer dollars to fund his luxury ballroom. nbcnews.com/politics/white…

@michaeldweiss I don’t believe this. Too specific

NYT reports that Iran has access to 30 out of 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, access to 90% of its missile storage facilities, and retains 70% of its prewar missile stockpile. Explains the hostility even Republicans brought to the Hegseth/Caine hearing today. nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

@SecondAmendment @torchystacos What a way to communicate they can’t pay their employees.

This is supposedly at a @torchystacos in Houston... Rice village to be exact. Torchy's is not full service... It is counter service and you get your own drinks. 20% tip for you to bring my food to me is stupid, and if the restaurant does charge service fees then I will take it out of the tip I am over "tip culture"

@ButtercupPB @ScriptTrooper LOL if that’s the case It’s in the wrong store / wrong brand

@ScriptTrooper It’s literally a collection for men.🤦‍♀️
