Ok my man. Sorry. OK.

I don't. 2011. Maybe you were living under a rock? Allow me: President Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate | whitehouse.gov From the linked press release from Obama's Whitehouse.gov page Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. Seems to me somebody must have been questioning it? I personally have never questioned it. Relax my man.

You stop your practical thinking old timey ways at once. Don't you see if one were to do that you would run the risk of sucking some minnows out of the ocean and killing them when they get sent through the pump. Don't you understand these helpless minnows have rights too?

Probably because one of Trumps Executive Orders was to declassify everything remaining on the JFK assassination as well as stuff on RFK and MLK assassinations. I think many people are of the opinion the CIA assassinated JFK because he would not get on board with Northwoods among other things.

Be really careful with that line of thinking. That is a real slippery slope to go down. That is the angle the anti gunners use to say the only firearms the 2nd amendment allows us to legally own are brown bess muskets. Its also the same line of thinking people who favor internet censorship and banning hate speech use because "freedom of the press" means ink pens and old manual printing presses because that's all they had in "those times".

To clarify I do know that The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign country located on the island or Ireland. However if you live in Northern Ireland, which is also on the island of Ireland you would be a part of UK, Great Britain, England???? So with that said your location, listed as "Ireland" is slightly ambiguous to a dumb American lol.

Would the additional 14,000 qualify it to be used for actual work or would that only be for historic/antique hobby use? LOL I sound like a "dumb American" but what currency does Ireland use? Euro? Actually that whole area geopolitically has always been very confusing to me and I never seem to remember the meaning of all the following terms: England, Great Britian, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Republic of Ireland. Do you live in the country of Ireland or on the island of Ireland?

I don't think that is in question at all. Do you think the baby in the following scenario is a US Citizen? After all the mother is not a naturalized US citizen, and is not here through the legal process. BTW I'm not at all disagreeing with you. I am simply pointing out that something seemingly unquestionable ends up being clear as mud to the masses. If I'm not mistaken this was the premise of the questions surrounding Obama's citizenship. Something about his dad being a citizen of Kenya but his mom was a citizen of here on a visa and he was born on US soil? I can't recall the details.....

Section 1 sentence 1 of the 14th Amendment reads: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Hmm. I'm not a constitutional scholar but if you take that sentence to mean explicitly what it says, as written, black and white, and don't interpret any further into what it might mean, then I think by definition all children born to illegal aliens in this country are US Citizens. I think when speaking of the folks coming through Ellis Island back in the day who went through the legal process those are the ones that fall under the naturalized definition and now are citizens. Now maybe the question lies in "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Again, I'm not Constitutional or legal expert but I really don't know what that means. Maybe Trump is angling to say since illegal aliens are in fact illegal then they and their children do not fall under the jurisdiction of the USA and hence the 14th amendment does not apply to them. I really don't know. A hypothetical plane on a direct flight from Caracas, Venezuela to Montreal, Canada has to make an emergency landing in Atlanta, Georgia. On that plane is a pregnant Venezuelan woman, who only has Venezuelan citizenship. While on the ground at the airport she goes into labor and is rushed to a hospital and her baby is born. I assume that baby is a US citizen but really the woman is neither here legally nor illegally. Actually by chance. Does a by-chance happening make the woman subject to the jurisdiction thereof? Is that baby a citizen of Georgia? He doesn't reside there, just happened to be born there. Personally I have no clue. But this is how these things unfold. 10 people can read the exact same sentence and you will get 10 different interpretations of what that sentence means. In the end the Supreme Court will probably decide whether or not the Executive Order is Constitutional or not based on the majority's interpretation of that sentence and possibly any legal precedent(s). The next 4 years is going to be extremely interesting, especially if your a legal scholar. I'm pretty skeptical Trump will actually be able to make any meaningful, long term changes to anything. Every single thing he does will get hamstrung in the courts and a Liberal Federal judge will step in at every opportunity.

One needs to consider who was running against him in the election to understand why PA voted for him. Below is a statement I made on 10/27/22 a few days prior to that election in the Best of Biden thread. Page 102: ^^^^^This. I can't believe that the Republican primary selected Dr. Oz as their candidate. If Dave McCormick would have won the primary this wouldn't even be a contest at this point. To many people don't believe Oz is genuine for many reasons. Its sad the guy was born and raised in Cleveland OH, lived summers in Turkey, lived and worked in New York City until his TV career started in 2009. Then lived in Southern California until now he all of a sudden is the best person they could come up with to represent PA in the US Senate. To be fair he did live in Philadelphia for a time in the mid 1980s while as a student attending the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately he is just a big of a quack as Fetterman. He is just wearing different rags. The governor's race is just as bad. Can't believe the Republicans came up with this guy. I will bet my lunch and this week's pay the Governor will remain a democrat because their candidate is very moderate and appeals to lots of people on the right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now here we are 2+ years later and they ran McCormick again and beat the incumbent Democrat. If Republicans here weren't so daft in 2022 McCormick would have handily beat Fetterman and my guess is would have won the second seat this past fall. Shoulda Woulda Coulda. To run Dr. Oz as a candidate for US Senator of Pennsylvania is a bigger joke than Fetterman wearing a hoodie and shorts to the inauguration.

What about the 4x4 MH Macks UPS ran?

Macks that have that tag were manufactured in Oakville Ontario. Someone will have the dates but Mack Canada had its own manufacturing for a number of years. Subtle differences. The speedometer will be in km/hr. Things like that.

You piqued my interest again with another Pittsburgh station. From the Mack Fire Apparatus Thread 2/9/20216: Engine 37, Pittsburgh, PA (retired) 1974 Mack R 1000/500 Engine 37 is housed in Station 37, which is also located on Pittsburgh's North Side in the Manchester neighborhood. The firehouse isn't shown as much in this shot, however I don't think it has changed at all. Below is current Google View of it. The house in the background is mostly unchanged as well. @GA_Dave when was this photo taken? In 1988 as well? Something interesting is the paint colors of this 1974 Mack. I assume it was painted as such to honor the Steeler's first Super Bowl victory which was for the 1974 season but played January 12, 1975. I wonder if they repainted it or if the Truck was a 1974 chassis but built and delivered sometime after January 12 1975. The Brockway that started the thread is obviously red and probably a 1975 or later since it is utilizing the Mack built cab. The Steeler's had won at least one more Super Bowl (1975) and possibly two (1978) by the time the Brockway was delivered. Also, I have never seen another black and yellow City of Pittsburgh fire truck. All the ones I have seen going back 20 years now have all been red. @GA_Dave Can you tell if the pictured Mack is a foam truck? Station 37 is now a Haz Mat, foam engine.

That is going to be a real tall order I'm guessing. They have to have been extraordinarily rare, and of those probably none were saved due to their "undesirable" nature. Of the entire Diamond Reo Trucks Flickr group there is only one photo of one:

I have an original raider sales brochure. I’ll have to dig it out. Just based on observation the vast majority or Diamond Reo trucks I see that still exist are some type of vocational truck. Very few are tractors. I think they were marketed as a premium vocational truck. From what I can tell they were highly customizable and could be build to custom specs. I have even seen some 6x6 that were mixers. I’m not sure what White was thinking by buying Diamond T and REO then merging them into a premium vocational brand when they already had Autocar in that space. Too bad the folded. I always really liked the Diamond Reos from the late 60s to the 70s

Yes definitely a Diamond Reo Rogue

Did your employment take you to all these fire houses as a vendor rep or trainer or something or did you just as a hobby visit fire stations and take pictures. Hard to believe a guy from Georgia was randomly in the Brighton Heights Pittsburgh neighborhood in 1988 and happened to get a photo that good...Just curious

How did you come to photo so many different company's trucks all over the country? Do recall which year you took the photo of engine 35 in Pittsburgh? I had to google it to see which area of Pittsburgh that station is located. I was curious since its local to me. Its in the Brighton Heights neighborhood on Pittsburgh's North Side. Not a bad area but not too great either. Was probably a lot nicer when the photo of the Brockway was taken. Attached is a Google street view of the station as it is now. Hasn't really changed much at all. What's interesting is you can see in the carved stone marker above the overhead door it says Engine House No. 15. The county real estate records say the city acquired the property in 1898. The building looks to me like it was built in the teens or 1920s.

Exactly the way I remember them running. First time I drove one back in the day I was thinking it would run like a 300 Maxidyne. I shifted "early" and thought the thing was going to stall. IMO they have terrible performance below 1400 rpm for what their intended purpose is. Seems to me there was "nothing there" until the turbo really started doing something which was around 1400. As I remember the AMIs were much less problematic than the AC version, and all things considered were actually a pretty solid early emissions engine. They just do not have the same performance characteristics Mack had been noted for up to that point. The fuel consumption seems pretty high but I never really paid attention to that when I drove them as it was a slip seat deal..

AMI is one of two engines that could be under the hood of an 07. Well possibly 3 technically. I think maybe the MP7 was out in 07 but that’s beside the point. In the early 2000s Mack offered ASET engines. “Application Specific Engine Technology” AMIs were for vocational applications and the AC version was for highway stuff. The main difference between the two was how they cooled or managed the EGR. AMIs seemed to be the less problematic of the two but yea real gutless wonders and laughable low end torque

You know the model and serial number is stamped into the outside face of passenger side frame rail somewhere between the leaf spring hangers? If you need to utilize that one. Theres always the possibility that the door was changed and the tag on the door doesn't match the truck. Doubtful but always a slim possibility until verified. I would think the stamping in the frame rail would be the real one if there was a discrepancy. Just an FYI....

in 94 an R model could be fully mechanical or VMAC. I'm assuming the same goes for the CHs. Do you happen to know which type of E7 you have? That piece of info would greatly help with a diagnosis.
