$17 Million in Taxpayer Dollars (UPDATES)

  • Millions of masks purchased by the State of Illinois from China may not be useable by those on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, after multiple states recalled similar equipment Thursday.

    Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has been scouring the world for gowns, gloves and masks to protect medical workers and first responders across the state from COVID-19.

    That includes many KN95 masks bought from China, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier this month was an acceptable alternative to the United States approved N95 masks. State spending records reveal Illinois has already spent nearly $17 million buying the KN95 masks.

    But now, officials in Missouri are recalling thousands of KN95 masks after testing by the state’s Department of Health and Senior Services over the weekend found some did not meet their standards, according to director Sandy Kartsen.
Who would buy anything from China, seeing as how they've been lying about the virus origins from Day One and continue to cover up the numbers of infected and dead, not to mention, are ground-zero for just about every counterfeit product that is on the market today - purses, software, and yes, medical supplies.

These came with a money-back guarantee, right?

UPDATE: Did JB the Hutt ever take Hart Schaffner and Marx up on their offer to make a quarter-million face masks per week? Local company, hundreds of machines, trained workers....opens up the Illinois economy a tiny bit.

UPDATE: Looks like HSN is making masks after almost three weeks wasted.....and $17 million in taxpayer money that could have been spent locally. And they're operating at one-sixth of full capacity - we suppose that's going to be the President's fault somewhere down the line.

So...

Guv'nuh Great (as in large) -Ass tried to be cute
and got stung by Red China to the tune of $17 Million
TAXPAYER DOLLARS for knock-off KN-95 masks?

Instead of being able to get desperately needed
political mileage with which to gleefully shit-talk
POTUS if having pulled off this sure to have been lauded
in the local and national anal-whore media as a demonstration
of his "leadership, initiative and savvy," Guv'nuh Great-Ass
got royally rolled and pantsed by the Red Chinese.

Dear God we hope some Trump staffers are monitoring
this blog and use this tasty morsel for the next
time Guv'nuh Great-Ass bangs off his cake-hole
about Fed-Gov "not doing enough for Illinois."

If Great-Ass had kept his mouth shut and conducted
himself with circumspection, there likely would've
been more goodies forthcoming.

But since he jumped in with Larry Lightfoot in
gleefully shit-talking POTUS and his staff,
no small wonder that Illinois and Chicago
have seemingly been made to shove back
to the end of the line and made to wait.

How many decades ago was it when I said it was stupid to normalize relations with China and that they were not nor would they ever be a friend of the USA. Now fast forward and almost everything is made there and sold in the states. All kinds of junk and our TV's, phones, computers, and on and on. Out source baby, more profits that way. Another nice mess you've gotten me into Stanley.

China, the friend you never want to walk in front of as they are always looking for a soft spot for the knife. I hate that bloody country. And Korea is a close second. Governor 1-Man Zip-Code must be even dumber than he looks for this cockup. But the taxpayers will vote for him again. So don't worry, Mr. Blob, they will forget all about it.

Once mistaken for a lush with a sterling silver flask, a

"Not if you're J.B.," came the retort from the assigned

costly clog and plumbing bill. That's also why he's got
his own private toilets. His blocks need to soak for

First rule of dealing with Chinese manufacturing is that you do your own quality control, with your people, on everything that comes out the factory. Never ever trust the product sight unseen. Some of China's domestic market stuff is actually pretty good kit, but the export sector is the worst sort of bandit kingdom and most Western companies are too arrogant and short-sighted to consider anything but price and eagerness to kiss middle-management asses.

If these various governors really want to make a difference, they should be throwing whatever resources they have into starting up local manufacturing lines. It's the only viable solution, not just for dealing with this problem but the ones down the road too. A country without a manufacturing base has no future.

This is also the result of outsourcing jobs to countries like China instead of having this stuff made in the USA!

Governor chartered a big ass FedEx plane to fly across the world for basic supplies that China, i’m sure gave no discounts and got paid top dollar for junk!

Rather than made in Illinois and trucked in at pennies in comparison to a big ass cargo jet that had to stop in Alaska to refuel!

Thanks to President Clinton outsourcing jobs in the 1990’s nothing is made in the USA anymore!

It makes a far more useful headline then, "Fuck heads in China unleashed Corona on world". Wheres the Political payoff for that? Its more useful to have the message "Hug a Chi-com" and "Hate a Trump" then the truth.

“.........Who would buy anything from China,........” Well our politicians would because they get huge campaign contributions from the Chinese as well as many other countries. Foreign countries have more influence and power in American than American citizens. Our politicians gave millions of American’s jobs to China. Right, lets give more of our money to China after they gave us and 184 countries the Coronavirus. In late Jan. Trump instituted the travel ban to stop the Chinese spreading the virus here. The Chinese prohibited it’s citizens from Wuhun,the center of the virus, from traveling to any part of China but they were allowed to come to the US to spread the virus. In late Feb. Nancy Pelosi called Trump a racist and went to San Francisco’s Chinatown to promote the Chinese saying there was nothing wrong. You might ask where does Pelosi get her millions. China is destroying us. Authors to read about China’s evil are Gordon Chang, Steven Mosher and Michael Pillsbury. How does Pritzker explain this?

If Pritzker and Lori get their way, there will never be a reopening of the economy. The democratic garbage are using this crisis to advance their socialist agenda. And Lori and fat ass are leading the charge. Everything is cancelled but Lollapalooza and the gay parade and taste.

Hey SCC you better start reading or watching world news, like Reuter’s and BBC.
Being stuck at home with the virus. You scan the media outside of USA. To find out what’s really happening!

I have been watching Australian news about this same deception by China.
Looks like Chinese vendors are selling total garbage to who ever will pay.

Australian government now suing China over virus, but now they are stuck with manufactured masks that would
not be used in construction sites since they are so poorly made.

Looks like countries and local states are buying from China with no recourse. Product are useless.

If you follow other news agencies outside of USA, they are showing stories of the Wuhan virus as early as November 2019.
Which means the virus was spreading in October 2019.......
Also the facts the medical personnel from China are disappearing without any trace. They are just gone!
These are the Chinese Doctors who study pandemics and wrote papers about Covid-19.
Was this a major accident or on purpose release of virus?
The other story is the mass loss of Cellphones in China, they just disappeared with no trace of signals.... last number 22,000 phones.
If China uses cellphones to track citizens where are the citizens connected to the cellphones?

This is just a coincidence........RIGHT!

“Made in China” really isn’t the issue. The problem is third party distributors that find less reliable sources for manufacturing. Purchases of products by legitimate retail or wholesale organizations - big box stores, marketing companies - is almost always just fine. The fact is that there just aren’t US companies producing these sorts of products. Even the medical supply companies manufacture overseas and then bring to US for either final product completion or retail sale.

And, of course, the other side of the coin is that consumers - up until the virus - want inexpensive products and US workers cost more. That may change when this is over. But I wouldn’t count on it...

Big Bellyacher JB Pigfluenza got suckered.
JB-Come-Lately the last minute shopper, panic bought whatever was left on the shelf. Remember he started complaining since his Mar 21 shutdown lockdown order after the Primary Election.

In late March many European countries found they were receiving ineffective, shoddy, outdated medical supplies from China and began to send these products back, some were even stiffed from getting refunds. This is the stuff what JB bought. And all he’s going to say is he tried his best, which translates into “I don’t know what I’m doing but I sure am making an effort to make it look like I do”.
He and that so called Team is actually doing very little, mostly complaining because they’re hiding the fact that the Plague is almost over.
The pandemonium momentum they can maintain is shut down as long as possible.

No run on hospitals, no need for 40,000 ventilators, no shortages of PPE (regardless of what they’re saying, hoarded not reported).
The ever evolving narrative went from packed hospitals, to no PPE, to hotels rooms, to no ventilators, to lockdown, to disproportionate covid infections and deaths, then transitioning into the vote-by-mail, an impending budget crisis and now the school year closing.

And holy smokes....JB & His Team FINALLY figured out why nursing home residents are getting infected and dying - because the staff might likely be coming to work sick. Now figure out where.

Look here’s the deal...
If JB can’t get rid of all these unused and up useable medical stockpiles by the October Surprise Covid 19 Resurgence (it might be covid 20 by then) because he won’t have the White House to blame again for IL being unprepared, all they’ll have is another lockdown, school shutdown and vote by mail. Anyone know who prints the ballots and if their paper stockpiles are sufficient, ready to start the presses?

Notice that Larri LightLoafer hasn’t been doing daily press conferences. yet JB Smalls doing his 15 minutes and out still has a one paragraph answer to those 4 questions a day he fields from faceless on-line reporters.
So there will never be a question or a need to answer for their incompetence.

It’s getting warm outside this coming week.

>>>> An alert from the Illinois Department of Public Health followed, saying ... "counterfeit masks are “flooding the marketplace.” ~~p~~ “you can’t go through one mask at a time and so you try to take samples from the shipments that come in, make sure you got what you are paying for,” Pritzker said during a press conference Thursday. <<<<

Right Governor Fatass, you can't go through every mask for counterfeits. But one tip that the masks aren't exactly what you paid for would be things like Boxes marked, 'Louis Vuitton, Paris France'. Or something like, for every Ten Boxes of masks ordered a Rolex Watch is included for free -- kind of like the Prize in a Box of Cracker Jack.

Anyway, the first question should be -- that is if Chicago had any real journalists left -- is; Given everything the country has been through the last couple months, what kind of MORON! would buy anything from China in the first place?!?!

Especially when it's been reported in the news for at least a month now that countries around the globe who've bought medical supplies from China that range in items from Testing Kits to Ventilators, Gowns, Gloves, and N95 Masks found most of them to be DEFECTIVE!!

Not to mention that a company right here in the USA, a company called 3M is making tens of millions of N95 Maks per month. And 3M isn't the only major American company making masks in that volume.

Soooo, what kind of moron would do this? An Illinois Gubmint MORON, that's what kind. And as for us stuck here in Illinois know, they're a special kind of moron!

I'm sure there are plenty of Illinois Companies who would have been more then happy to make the Mask. Should have kept the business in house. Sad, Very Sad.

Our two worthless senators should actually do something for the people of this state, whom they are supposed to serve. How about a federal law for labels on any product that comes in from China. The Made in China label would be required to be printed in a font at least as large as the largest font on the chicom made product. Buy American or from any where else but china.

Just watch President Trump absolutely destroy China and their "One Belt One Road" Economic system. He was already in the process with tariffs on China to cancel out the exfiltration of 500 billion dollars of US wealth per year for the last 20-25 years. Just wait until the manufactured and intentional "virus" released from the Wuhan biological dies off. Tariffs go to 100% on everything made in communist China until America restructures its manufacturing capability, which is already in the works. Trump will starve them fucking commies because without that 500 billion per year coming from America, them Red bastards can't fucking feed themselves.

And one last thing, it was BOTH Democrats and Republicans who sold America to China through raising corporate taxes and over-regulating industry to the point where companies were more profitable leaving the USA. The buying off our CONgress occurs through the United States Chamber of Commerce, the largest lobbying group in the United States, who work on behalf of foreign countries to exfiltrate business from America.

Stop buying made in China as much as you can and look to support and buy MADE IN AMERICA products ONLY!

Pepperidge Farm remembers. Clinton had his good Chinese buddy Charlie Trie, his mentor from early Arkansas days, visiting the White House at will. Suddenly the cheap China crap was flooding into the country in the 90's. Who thought it was a good idea to have our medications made there??

So Prickster got scammed by the Chinese. Hardly reported by the useless local media. I hope they aren't the face masks I saw in a cellphone video online. Inside a dirty Chinese factory, a guy sitting packing a box of face masks, throwing them on the floor, rubbing them around with his shoe, and laughing as he threw them into a shipping box. Have to go watch today's briefing. My entertainment for today is listening to the "esteemed" governor's heavy breathing and telling us he is just "following the science."

4/18/2020 04:34:00 AM

I can't see that ever happening. It's far too late for that. Had there been a heavy tariff planned if greedy companies moved production elsewhere but you remember how it was. And way back decades ago we were fools to ever normalize economic relations with China and then still hating on Cuba.

And remember the article last year talking about Apple moving the manufacturing of its 6k plus Mac Pro computer from Texas to China. Even grossly overpriced products like this the greedy bastards still move production overseas. They also made a move to store iCloud keys in China. These tech billionaires got theirs, they don't care about anyone else and people will still buy phones, TV's, computers made in China so why not make them there for less. Blame the politicians but also the lazy people that have done nothing to stop this trend. Got to have the latest phone, tennis shoes or other crap, that's what people will stand in line for all night. The little guy will pay for all the mistakes of the crooked politicians and the greedy corrupt corporations. As usual.

Now it's hard to not buy stuff from there and most people shop for price not by where the item is made. And I'm as guilty as the rest. I bought a refurbished Lenovo computer, heavy well built machine. But I come to find out Lenovo is a Chinese company, they acquired IBM's personal computer business in 2005. Some people might then just think Lenovo = the old IBM as I did when first heard the two names being tossed around together. Cars that's another whole thing. Final assembly versus the origin of parts in the car. China owns so much in Italy and in Nigeria. And in the rest of Africa, man can they con the African people. But they are their friends too of course.

There is more to making an effective mask then sewing some cloth together, and I do not mean the coveted N95, but ordinary surgical masks. There has to be a filter in between the two layers of cloth, but something is better then nothing. Get ready to get used to wearing a mask for another year.

If they are better than homemade cotton masks but less than real N95's - Use Them until you can get the real thing.

If they are worse than homemade cotton masks, then buy some sewing machines and teach the prisoners how to sew. Make masks for everyone - CPD, DFD, Transit - Drivers & Riders. Give them away at grocery stores.

3M MAY be making masks in the USA now...

But back in January, only one Texas company (Prestige Ameritech) made masks in the USA. Everything with a 3M label on it came from China or Mexico.
Prestige Ameritech 7% of US market
China 53%
Mexico 40%

Prestige is owned by a couple of former 3M execs who thought it was important to retain US capacity to make medical PPE. Only a handful of Hospitals agreed with them. The rest would rather buy Chinese and save a penny a mask.

From a 28 Feb news conference by jabba the pigster and groot.
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20200228/coronavirus-hotline-set-up--pritzker-says-state-is-prepared

Last year, Pritzker said, several state agencies participated in an exercise to simulate the outbreak of a contagious disease. The exercise helped agencies develop plans for dealing with an outbreak. Consequently, Pritzker said a number of other states have been in touch with Illinois about steps to take to deal with a potential coronavirus outbreak. Illinois has also been in touch with other states about adopting some of their best practices, he said.

Much of Friday’s news conference was spent trying to reassure the public not to overreact.

“There really is no cause for alarm,” Lightfoot said. “The risk is low, the level of preparedness is very high. I think we’re well situated in the event anything happens.”

“The risk of infection to Illinoisans is low,” said state Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “However, we have to plan and prepare for all possibilities.”

“We are ready,” Pritzker said. “If there are changes in the condition, we will be prepared.”

While Illinois is working with other states and federal agencies to stay on top of the coronavirus situation, Pritzker said the state won’t be relying on the White House for guidance about what to do.

“We’re not relying on the White House,” he said. “We in fact have on the best public health systems in the country. So you have experts here and standing behind all of these folks who are highly capable of managing the COVID-19 that’s come upon us.”

Jelly Belly Pritzker, the governor who unlawfully manipulated the state tax laws, therefore defrauding citizens of Illinois 10s of thousands of dollars. Then when he got caught, immediately paid it back. If anyone else without political connections and attempting to unseat a unpopular republican governor would have committed this fraud, he’d be charged criminally. It’s the equivalent of going in a store, taking merchandise, passing the last point of purchase, and exiting the store. Then be met by Police in the parking lot and saying, I just give it back. This goof hates Trump so bad, he will burn this state down before ever acknowledging Trump is right, did well, or is supportive of anything Trump does. This includes wasting tax money to send a private plane to pick up worthless products, and line the Chinese pockets. Remember this guy has never worked a day in his life.

My dad has been dead for about 20 years now and I still remember him cursing & swearing anytime he had to put anything together, “These cheap fucking Chinese screws.” We’ve been allowing ourselves to buy poorly made sometimes even dangerous products (remember dog food laced with melamine) from China for decades. Why? Well, as long as corporations could justify moving manufacturing to China by offering us cheaper goods we were willing to lose those manufacturing jobs. Then it got to this point. Everything is made in China- inexpensive & expensive and just about all of it lacking in quality to some degree. Corporations increased their profits. The rich got richer and we are now dependent on China. Refuse to buy Chinese made goods. Start with the non-essentials. Stop feeding your habit of cheap & poorly made consumer goods. Do you honestly need a new iPhone every year? Do you honestly need to move your 50” tv to the garage because you just bought a new 65” Ultra HD tv for the living room. We did this to ourselves.

I don't think that this will happen. The Chinese elite send their kids to the best schools in the US, almost 400,000 every year. As a matter of fact, that number entered the US in January. Who knows how many were infected. The universities have a strong lobby to keep the flow of foreign students into the US because they pay full tuition and room and board.Someone has to pay the high salaries of those " professors".
