Well here you have it! More proof that the people of China could not come up with a single innovation on their own to save their lives..
Apparently China was invited by Afghanistan to inspect one of our downed Blackhawk stealth choppers that was destroyed during the raid that killed Osama.
And in other news China has deployed it's very first aircraft carrier recently, which was basically an old Russian vessel they modified. Typical!
Anyone interested in these free tickets I have to ride China's high speed rail? LOL! I used to think China exported cheap products to other nations and saved the good stuff for themselves, but after reading about their high-speed rail train flying off the tracks I realized they just lack the ability to make quality products. I am sure it will only be a matter of time before their aircraft carrier is at the bottom of the sea as well.

And to think we have been giving Pakistan aid money all these years only to be stabbed in the back like this. It's quite clear aid money to China and Pakistan need to be cut off. It's not like we can afford it anyway.

Where was Obama when all this started? Clearly by the time stamp of the OP it's clear these things all went down on Obama's watch... Now it feels like Trump is cleaning up mess after mess from Obama and his administration.
Tell me something, what problem did Obama actually solve during his 8 year tenure that has been a lasting accomplishment for the US?
Trump is over there on foreign soil fighting for America! There can be no confusion in the language President Trump has been using that he is looking out for America! Had it been Obama over there right now instead of Trump I can guarantee you that Obama would have been bending over backwards and bowing to every leader rather than fighting hard for the American people!

So I was going to start a new thread about all of the Chinese knock off's that I have encountered, and I just might start one in the tool crib for this item -
Here we have a Snap-On jack vs. the Harbor Freight Chinese knock off
Now who's fault is this PowerStroker? Is it SnapOn's fault for farming out their jack? Or the fact that it was made in China and thus they just copied it and are selling it for much less? As someone who purchases SnapOn tools I really have to wonder, is buying a SnapOn jack foolish on my part? Or is buying the Harbor Freight the foolish choice?
I recently purchased a Daytona 4 ton Jack and then returned it to Harbor Freight when I seen this.. Apparently the 4 ton Daytona does not carry the same warranty as the Snap-On knock off and now I need to buy another jack but I can't help but to wonder... Are both the Snap On and Daytona jacks the exact same - cut from the same cloth? It sure seems so...
This is just one of the many things I am going to post in this thread about Chinese knock off items cheating American business. At the end maybe we can figure out if it's China who is cheating us, or if perhaps we are just being overcharged.

It's good to be a patriot & to support your country & people's workplace, jobs, & industry. But when greed overtakes the CEO's mindset, & sells itself off to overseas manufacturing, you're only helping the CEO's bank account IMO...
Anyhow, for hand tools, Stahl-Wille all-the-way for me. Still made in Germany, & top-notch stuff !
( We had a brand here in Oz that was quite good too, called Sidchrome, but they sold out to China / Japan when I was an apprentice )

He was given a burial at see from the USS Carl Vinson, and is now part of the perpetual fish poo cycle. There were plenty of witnesses on board the carrier, and members of Congress were given a chance to see actual photos of the body, as well as DNA test results. Please don't tell me you are going to turn this into another (Obama wasn't born in the U.S.) style conspiracy theory. Even Al Qaeda admitted that we killed Bin Laden.

I like Snap-On myself, but in this instance I am a little besides myself... That must be some expensive red paint, but who knows... In the link I posted you can see side by side photos of them and honestly it's somewhat frustrating..

Didn't realize the Carl Vinson dumped the body, but yeah... Just like Democrats are claiming Russian collusion and that everyone who is not a liberal is racist, I'd still like to see things like a body in the casket when at a funeral and birth certificate when a guy I never heard of decides to have the courts seal his records and then run for President.
Guess you could just call me old fashioned...

Whoa now, I never said all conservatives are racist, I'm just pointing out the tendency for all conservatives to prefer sources of news that do everything possible to normalize racism.

This is true IMO....
Should the "press" have never started using the word again, it would seem likely that real racists would have remained a minority...Just like how we have everyone concerned about "Terrorists", & paranoid about the next person walking down the street letting off a bomb or whatever, the "authorities" have now added racism to our easily manipulated mindsets, & like sheep, eat-it-up like there's no tomorrow.
I think we'll get over it it time, but at what cost ?...And how long to repair the damage ?...
People of the "free world" need to remember what being free is all about, & what folks from the past went to war & died for IMO...
It's all a "faux pas" to me. And sadly, quite possibly deliberate.
Ciao,
Rastus
