For me, in my humble opinion, its just another step towards going home. This administration has done nothing but show the world that our leadership is weak, a laughing stock on the world stage. "Big scary America" is no more. Agree Todd. If the Lord has us here still after the 2024 election "Tammie says, Sonya – it was a joke" Oh! Hahaha. ROFL! "It is always dangerous to just shoot in the air, you never know where the bullet might land. And yes, you are correct, I would not put it past them to have it rigged as a bomb as with the Montana one — was the blast or explosion from the aircraft that shot it down or from the balloon. Also they could very easily put some of their poison covid variance in the balloon or some other poison…" It could be any poison! They just shot down the balloon! I wonder what it left behind!! Canada Says It Is Monitoring ‘Potential Second Incident’ Linked to Chinese Alleged Spy Balloon: The Canadian Armed Forces revealed late Thursday that it is monitoring a “potential second incident” related to the discovery of a massive Chinese balloon over Montana that the Communist Party claimed had drifted off course and coincidentally landed near American military sites of high importance. The Pentagon confirmed late Thursday that it had identified what it suspected was a Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana, near an area housing nuclear missile silo fields. The Canadian government waded into the fray with a statement confirming that it is working “with American partners and continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard Canada’s sensitive information from foreign intelligence threats.” It also suggested the existence of either a second Chinese alleged spy balloon or of a second incident involving the same balloon. Ottawa has yet to provide any more details regarding the “potential second incident.” Canada’s Globe and Mail reported on Friday that the Canadian government had summoned the Chinese ambassador to protest the balloon’s presence in the country – a move that, at press time, Biden has reportedly yet to make. The Canadian newspaper of record also indicated that experts believe the same balloon over Montana may have spent significant time drifting over British Columbia, Canada, after entering Alaskan airspace. The expert, Steffan Watkins, said Canada appeared to have used its air force to intercept the balloon in late January. The balloon did not become a source of public alarm in either America or Canada until locals in Montana filmed it flying overhead. Many public officials in the United States are openly questioning the Chinese government’s explanation, particularly in light of Beijing’s history of using meteorology as an excuse to spy on and infiltrate the sovereign territory of its neighbors. Chinese officials routinely refer to illegal artificial islands that it built in the South China Sea, located in territory belonging to Vietnam and the Philippines, and their facilities as “research” or “meteorology” related. In reality, satellite images and studies of the region indicate China has built an intricate military and surveillance infrastructure in the region. Secret CCP Overseas Police Station In NYC Closed After Reported FBI Raid: “The FBI has confirmed that the ‘overseas police station’ in New York linked to Fuzhou has closed,” a State Department spokesperson said in an email to The Epoch Times. According to two reports published in October 2022 and December 2022 by Safeguard Defenders, a nonprofit organization, the overseas police outposts are used to collect intelligence and even forcibly repatriate Chinese dissidents to the mainland to be imprisoned. . . . the stations have been linked to the CCP’s United Front Work Department, an agency that works to advance the regime’s interests abroad by spreading propaganda, conducting foreign influence operations, suppressing dissident movements, gathering intelligence, and facilitating the transfer of technology to communist China. As such, many nations have voiced concern that the facilities are a threat to national security and a violation of sovereignty. Former DNI Ratcliffe Is Latest Official to Confirm NO Spy Balloons Over Continental US During Trump Years! – MEDIA LIED: John Ratcliffe was Director of National Intelligence under President Trump. On Saturday the Biden regime admitted the China spy balloon was first spotted a week earlier in Alaska back on January 28, flew from there into Canada and down into the continental US. On Tuesday the balloon entered Idaho and crossed the US for the next four days. The China spy balloon was then shot down after it left US territory and had collected all of its data for the Chinese Communist Party. This was an unprecedented event in US history. The fake news is hoping to convince Americans that these China spy balloons cross the US all the time. In fact, fake news insisted that this happened during the Trump years – three times. Former Trump advisor John Bolton, former DNI Ric Grenell, Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, and others, told FOX News that this is a lie. John Ratcliffe is the latest to confirm that this latest media report is yet ANOTHER deep state lie to protect Democrats and feckless, senile Joe Biden. John Ratcliffe: It’s not true. I can refute it. Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper refuted it yesterday, former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo has refuted it. But Maria, the American people can refute it for themselves. Do you remember during the Trump administration when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States. The people could look up and see it with the naked eye. And a media that hated Donald Trump wasn’t reporting. I don’t remember that either because it didn’t happen. Oh Good Grief. US Military Fears China May Reach Balloon Wreckage Before They Can Get There – Proper Salvage Vessel Won’t Be There For Days Right!! Appears they want China to retrieve it so nothing can be truly exposed. Maybe they will wait for the Chinese to get to it first? Maybe that's the plan? Update: (All on the same day!) Several U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels established a security perimeter where the balloon hit the water, about six nautical miles off the coast of South Carolina, and were searching for debris, a senior defense official and a senior military official said on Feb. 4. The Epoch Times 'This is treason if true': Chinese spy balloon details hidden from Trump: The headlines have been filled in the last couple of days with word of Chinese spy balloons crossing the United States at high altitude. So far, the U.S. has shot one down. Of course, defenders of Joe Biden, on whose watch the apparent spying is taking place, immediately had to blame Donald Trump. They charged the same scenario occurred on Trump's watch, that China's balloons crossed the United States, but without any news reporting. Trump and his staff have denied they ever were told about them. And now a report at the Gateway Pundit reveals a detail that should alarm Americans: Military leaders knew about the balloons while Trump was in office but withheld the information from the commander-in-chief. The report explains it was U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., who was interviewed by Stuart Varney on the Fox Business Network. Waltz said current Pentagon officials briefed him over the weekend and said Chinese spy balloons crossed over Texas and Florida during the Trump years. The report continued, "Waltz then dropped this bomb. Rep. Waltz said that Gen. James Mattis was secretary of defense at the time and decided not to inform President Trump because the Pentagon thought Trump was 'too provocative and aggressive!'" Explained the Gateway Pundit report, "This is treason if true. Mattis put the U.S. in danger, offered comfort to the enemy, allowed Chinese spying on U.S. installations, and then hid this from his superiors, including the president of the United States." https://www.wnd.com/2023/02/treason-true-chinese-spy-balloon-details-hidden-trump/ 
maybe it will be big scary Trump once again (so to speak.)
