No, YOUR thinking is lazy. All that list does is tell you who last touched a product.

Pick any item on that list. Where did the pallet come from? And the wood from that pallet? And the nails that hold it together? What about the packaging? The inks? Then there's the factory-----where did the boiler come from? And the components in the boiler? The gaskets, the pipes, the CPU, the wire? Every single component can, and frequently does, come from overseas.

So that list you have is utterly pointless.

Want another great example? Apple juice. China send apple concentrate to the West Coast where it is repacked. Guess what? Because they "repacked" that juice in America, an American is the last guy who touched it. Now it is "Made in America", and can be put on your list.

Your list serves better as toilet paper, my friend. Your heart is in the right place. Kudos for that.
Correct, that was lazy. Guess I will buying Crimson Pangolin GIN instead of Leopolds, since it don't matter :o

Speed queen appliances tho.


all my food is US made. Dog food too.

But, just to clarify. I don't see an Apple juice maker on this list. Can you provide a specific example, or two, or a product that is just re-labeled or put together in the US? (terrortories count don't they.....you nasty lil industrialists )

The botanicals I use all come from overseas. I'd wager the same can be said of all Gins, unless you only use juniper, something that can be found in the US, albeit at a low quality. Prohibition ruined the alcohol related supply chain. Did you know, for example, that barley in Sacramento was so prized in the late 1800''s, that Scotch producers used it to the tune of thousands of tons? Does that mean that Scotch wasn't Scottish in those days? ;)

Did you know that every pound of rye used by American Bourbon plants (the big ones) comes from Germany? It's still "proudly American Made".

I didn't say it didn't matter what you buy----do your best, and that's great. But you're acting like that list is a guarantee, when it isn't. As a factory, we pay a premium for US made goods. Sometimes, unfortunately, there isn't a quality choice in the matter....glass is a great example.

We get "American" salespeople in all the time, trying to sell spirit bottle. Then I ask "where are your glass plants". Wanna guess where? It rhymes with China. ;)

Owned by Canadians. Also acquired a laundry machine fabricator in Belgium. Whoops. Getting the point yet? ;)

No. And that's my point: I have no way of telling you what came from where. This is intentional on the part of large manufacturers. And the Chinese, obviously.

Holy Hat! Why of course he paid a very steep price. Those sluts and tramps didn't have any issues when Acosta followed the law and shared his sentencing rationale with them. Acosta wouldn't forget such an important component of the statute, n'est pas? ;)

Julie Brown says The FBI was building an international case. It’s not true they wanted to shut it down.

Did anybody up the line in the DoJ have to sign off on Acosata's decision, or review it after the fact.

If the FBI was on the case internationally & Epstein had a residence in NY (& the VI, yet?) why not go after him in SDNY sooner ?
If no double jeopardy now, why not earlier ?

Ask the heavy hitters at Kirkland Ellis. During the Bush Administration they got it shut down.

No Vance mentions yet. Freaking incredible. He let Jared and Ivanka off the hook, too.

This is the human trafficking prevention overseen by the DOL.

If Trump's Labor Secy were not involved, the MSM would be calling Epstein's crimes what they really are -- multiple statutory rapes.

"Pushback" = non-denial, denial. The FL State's Attorney does not contradict what Acosta said about his prosecution.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... account-of

Former state's attorney pushes back against Acosta account of Epstein case

Krischer said his office subpoenaed witnesses took evidence to a grand jury, which returned a single felony count indictment against Epstein of soliciting prostitution.

But Palm Beach police who worked the case at the time told The Miami Herald as part of an investigation published in November that they felt pressured by Krischer to downgrade Epstein's case to a misdemeanor or to drop it entirely.

Acosta did not refer to Krischer by name during Wednesday's news conference but spoke of the Palm Beach County state's attorney. He described his own office as stepping in to ensure Epstein faced some form of punishment.

"Simply put, the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office was willing to let Epstein walk free. No jail time. Nothing," Acosta said. "Prosecutors in my former office found this to be completely unacceptable, and we became involved."
Soliciting prostitution ? ...with minors ? What about statutory rape(s) ?
If it was such a slam dunk case, why couldn't the State's Attorney get a Grand Jury to go for more than that against HamSammich Epstein ?

Watch the former Feds react. Acosta was very misleading yesterday, ignoring his office’s 53 page indictment. Exactly what we expect from cornered Trump officials. He never answered why other participants walked, why he killed the Investigation or if Main Justice did.

Looks like The Jeffrey banked at Deutschebank until May 2019 when he was cut off.

Yes but not focus.
