yeeaaahhh... Balloons... More manufactured 'stories' to distract from real issues like burning 1M lbs of vinyl chloride in an American town et al.

It is shocking (not really) how this story is being buried.

Distraction from evidence that Biden administration blew up NS 1 and 2. But brings up real question why do we need federal Government? If they cannot protect us from infiltration, do not protect our borders, do not protect our food and water (Palestine Oh),....What are they good for? As the song goes .....absolutely nothing.

At some point, Tucker Carlson will be tuckered out from being the only person on tv who matters.

We are at the point where we now trust our government less than China’s.

It's a government that has shown it does not deserve to be trusted. Tucker is one of the few truth tellers out there and even he avoids some topics either due to personal belief or Fox rules. He is the only person on news TV who matters. Tucker did an excellent segment last night on the train derailment and its after effects in Palestine, Ohio.

Less than the Chinese trust theirs? Or we trust China's mote because they do not pretend to be on our side just before every election we have? Both, I think. Embracing the power of AND.

So the U.S. is shooting down its own drug surveillance balloons to make it look like it's doing something after allowing the Chinese spy balloon to traverse the continental United States? We are surely living in some weird, alternative universe. The U.S., Canada and other western companies financed the rise of China by hollowing out our manufacturing sectors. We invited them in, hoping democracy and freedom would catch on. Nope. If anything, our governments are adopting their surveillance and totalitarian tactics. China's leadership must truly think our governments are idiots. Our countries need to decouple from China, toute de suite. They need us and our knowledge and technology. I have been trying to avoid buying Made in China articles for years. (I think at least since 2005 I have been skeptical of the quality of their consumer goods. I shuddered at the stories of their toxic toothpaste, drywall and pet food back then and would not buy it. Now it's not just about quality. I don't want to buy from those commie bastards.) Remember, China does not innovate. It steals. Freedom brings innovation. I still want us, the good guys, to win.

“ …sees you while you’re sleeping — and knows when you’re not woke.”

Gen. Milley - what a joke. I cannot discount the possibility that he could be Major Frank Burns (re)incarnate.

Not a fair comparison, Frank Burns had a couple of redeeming qualities.

He is a Thoroughly Modern Millie (hat tip to the movie and Mark Steyn.)

Thanks Don Most informative. In fact, more informative than all the "news" stories I have read and most certainly more informative than John Kirby and the Pentagon and the White House.

I, also, missed the wisdom of the great military strategist, Whoopi Goldberg. but best "...we really are becoming Fetterman Nation.” We are led by a Fetterman-like person who was certified by government election officials as our president. "Fetterman Nation"; I think we will be reading this phrase more and more.

Love the cultural references, Don, especially Johnny Horton. That song was one of my favorites 60 years ago.

China, the powerful, belligerent enemy "made by the USA."

China does not need to kill the USA, we are doing an excellent job ourselves.

Ask not how Rome fell, you are living the abridged version now.

I think that all of western civilization is living the abridged version now. Civilization dies from within.

Biden is practicing shooting down trial balloons. So are we.

"They're from China?"

"Vaccine forgiveness?"

Both sides will continue in futility until the frog is boiling and we have a nice world war with war powers, slavery, population reduction, and the return of Christ. Be kind to one another and do not let the increased lawlessness turn your heart cold.

Trying hard on that, David. But some days my heart does feel cold.

Anger is not necessarily a sin but can easily turn into one.

"His last line was a stroke of genius."

No, THAT line was a stroke of genius! So is this one:

Stroke of genius -- good one!

"Proximity to military bases" is familiar. The old 1950s UFOs were often seen around secret military bases, and Deepstate told us the aliens were spying.

Simplest assumption in BOTH cases: When a mysterious machine is seen near a secret base, assume the secret base is making and testing the machine.

I haven't read it yet but I already know it's a classic.
