What about the 5th column in the country? There are plenty of sell outs of our technology by such folks.

I agree that as long as Trump is Pres, there will be no support from him, but the problems we have in the USA are pretty big regarding the left.

They just recalled a bunch of jack stands — and have now recalled the replacement jack stands!

Solid Rockets this big are really hard to get right, look at the ones that were used for the space shuttle, suckers were mixed in extremely tall buildings with a giant mixer in their housings.

I remember reading that they had a low yield because of bad mixing and voids which resulted in lots of scrapped rockets.

Look. I am a free market, lassez faire kind of guy. They buyer beware, that sort of thing. But I would not buy a thing there that my life depended on. Now if Adam Schiff was in the market for jack stands...

That means their ICBM technology isn't yet mature.

Nuke them now, while the time is good.

(J/K... kinda...)

They should shoot all the failing engineers and start over from scratch. That will do it.

When you develop some thing from scratch, you understand how it works and can fix it. If you steel the technology it is harder to figure out what went wrong.

A long time ago I was working under my car, halfway out the garage, when a jack-stand fell over. The car fell sideways against the garage opening, and I escaped without a scratch. After that, I made sure I had multiple supports including a hydraulic jack so the car would not come down on me.

As for Adam Schiff, he needs to join protesters on a highway and we might get lucky...

Maybe the Mossad is planted a bug in the Commies software? CIA? hahaha, probably sitting around playing video games, propping up Venuezuela or plotting another PDT coup attempt.

There are some things I absolutely do not trust from Harbor Freight.

I keep a few moving blankets around. They arealways good for something.

Well - they do a decent job making fireworks...using bottle rockets as a basis for a space program probably wasn’t the best idea..

They need another Democrat in the White house to sell them missile technology.

Sell it to them? A rat 🐀 would simply give it to them, free of charge.
