I saw the Chinese spy balloon floating above our house this morning.
I'm still in incredulous that our government allowed this to happen.

Had to call and make sure China got what they needed before we shot it down.I get why they say they didn't want to shoot it down over land since they knew nothing about what it was made of and what might hit people under it, but it seems odd they had no way of doing anything to it until it got over the sea.
"Oh, Canada..."No offense to Montanans, but the likelihood of debris striking a human there, not great.
In his statement, Austin said American fighter aircraft “successfully brought down the high-altitude surveillance balloon launched by and belonging to the People's Republic of China (PRC) over the water off the coast of South Carolina in US airspace.”
Don' t You know China is all good...they support our downtrodden poor under privilege NBA players with Nike and such...I know it's only a few million $$$, but they're doing the best they can.China just sits there and slaps us in the back of the head, kicks us in the ass, and mocks us. And we just sit there and take it. They love to test us to push the boundaries on what we will allow, this was their latest "test". I'd imagine even they were astonished (yet delighted) that our feckless, weak, box of rocks president allowed the balloon to traverse the entire US before doing anything about it. And Biden once again shows that whatever decision he makes, is the abustle worst possible option. I'd rather our nation was in the hands of a Magic 8 ball.
For all of Trump's faults, and Lord there were many, at least he understood the idea that America was the lion, not the gazelle. He'd have shot that balloon down the minute he got the ok from the military, and had it aired on all the networks with Lee Greenwood singing away in the background backdropped by red, white, and blue fireworks.
Government says this is the 5th one they know of. Three during Trump and 1 previous during Biden. This is supposedly the first one that went this far. Trump, of course, denies that but to be honest I doubt he knows what was going on during his term of office except what he deemed tweet-worthy at the time.Who is in the know enough to say positively this was the first one?
If you believe Ukraine territory is sovereign, why would you not believe the same applies to United States airspace?All the satellites flying around and people freaking out over a damn balloon…..
The punchline normally follows ... just sayin'Government says this is the 5th one they know of. Three during Trump and 1 previous during Biden. This is supposedly the first one that went this far.
