US officials have admitted that they were monitoring the Chinese spy balloon since it flew over the Aleutian Islands.
So, we didn't shoot the balloon down over water and instead let it enter our continental airspace?

TUCKER CARLSON: Biden administration’s stance on Chinese spy balloon is scary
Other Chinese spy balloons have flown over the US
By: Fox News, February 4, 2023:
You often hear people say you can’t have a country without borders. You can’t have a country if you don’t have borders, but that’s also true of airspace, which is itself a kind of border. So, maintaining control of the skies over the United States – deciding who comes in and out and on what terms – that’s one of the most basic duties of the Pentagon and has been since aviation began.
If you were to fly your Cessna into restricted airspace in parts of this country, the U.S. military would scramble jets and they might shoot you down. So, it’s not a small infraction unless, of course, you happen to be the Chinese government, and you’re operating in an enormous white dirigible designed to spy on American nuclear installations. In that case, you could relax. You’ve got friends at the White House. Absolutely nothing is going to happen to you.
Now, that’s not an imaginary scenario. We’re not guessing. We know it’s true because we’re seeing it right now. As you’ve doubtless heard, an enormous spy balloon, the size of several school buses, has floated over from central China. It’s currently, we think, drifting across the continental United States. Yesterday, it passed over Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. That’s one of only three places in this country that houses minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles.
By this afternoon, that Chinese spy balloon had made it to Kansas City, and there over the skies of that city, a pilot flying a private plane at 47,000 feet came close to hitting the Chinese spy balloon. “Derelict balloon adrift,” he said in a notice to other nearby pilots. But it was not a derelict balloon. It was a balloon being controlled by China.
WHITE HOUSE: BIDEN CHOSE NOT TO SHOOT DOWN CHINESE SPY BALLOON, BUT KEEPING ‘ALL OPTIONS ON TABLE’
In other words, here we have a foreign military aircraft over our country spying on our critical defense installations and posing a threat to civilian aviation. That seems like a big deal. If you want to know how big of a deal, consider, how would we respond if Putin were doing this, if this were a Russian spy balloon?
Well, you’d have the world’s shortest news story: “Russian spy balloon spotted offshore shore, entire U.S. Air Force mobilized, balloon reduced to vapor in seconds.” So, there would not be a lot of debate about what to do about a Russian spy balloon. We’d kill it instantly, as you would any hostile foreign intrusion. But things turn out to be a little different when it’s a Chinese spy balloon.
A balloon flies in the sky over Billings, Montana, U.S. February 1, 2023 in this picture obtained from social media. (Retuers)
As far as we know, Vladimir Putin has never sent cash to Joe Biden’s crackhead son. He probably should have. That would have been a very wise investment in retrospect. The Chinese government, long thinking as always, did send cash to Joe Biden’s crack head son and apparently to Joe Biden himself and that paid off. Watch some robot from the Pentagon tell you that you have no right to know anything about this Chinese spy balloon. You think you’re a citizen or something? Here it is.
REPORTER: The position of the balloon classified?
BRIG. GEN. PATRICK RYDER, PENTAGON SPOKESMAN: Phil, right now, what we’re not going to do is get into an hour-by-hour location of the balloon. Again, we’re monitoring it closely. As I mentioned, right now, it’s over the center of the continental United States. That’s about as specific as I’m going to get.
REPORTER: I understand it might be inconvenient, but does the public not have a right to know..?
RYDER: The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is.
CHINA CONFIRMS BALLOON IS THEIRS, AS SPOKESPERSON CLAIMS IT IS CIVILIAN RESEARCH AIRSHIP
The public has the right to look at the sky. Go stare at the sun. That’s what the guy just said.
What you didn’t hear was a lecture about how the Chinese military is a threat to our democracy and our American way of life. It’s not like the Chinese invaded Ukraine. No, just our country. So, no big deal. Stop asking questions.
Joe Biden, of course, took that very same position today. Watch:
Reporter: "Mr. President, when and how will you remove the Chinese spy balloon?"
Joe Biden: ignores the question and walks away.
pic.twitter.com/lRFUcX1s40— Antonio Sabato Jr (@AntonioSabatoJr) February 4, 2023
BIDEN: Remember what the economy was like when I got here? Jobs were hemorrhaging. Inflation was rising. We weren’t manufacturing a damn thing here. We were in real economic difficultly. That’s why I don’t.
REPORTERS: Mr. President. Mr. President….
Notice the coms smiles. Walk this way, Mr. President. They knew they weren’t going to answer questions on that and it raises a much bigger question, which is why? What’s going on here? What else do they know but refuse to tell us?
Well, today, Pentagon sources conceded that the Biden administration has actually been tracking this Chinese spy balloon for months since it left China. That means they watched it float over the Pacific. They watched it pass over the Aleutian Islands and into American airspace and at any time, they could have shot it down over the water, by the way, risking no life on the ground. but they didn’t do that. Why didn’t they do that? No one will say.
Instead, the trusty Pentagon robot offered this explanation. This is one of the dumbest explanations ever articulated from a podium in Washington. Here it is:
AFTER CHINESE BALLOON ENTERS US AIRSPACE, BIDEN SECRETARY OF STATE POSTPONES TRIP TO CHINA
REPORTER: You said that this is violating our airspace, so why not take it down?
RYDER: We assess that it does not pose a risk to people on the ground as it currently is traversing the continental United States and so out of an abundance of caution, cognizant of the potential impact to civilians on the ground from a debris field right now, we’re going to continue to monitor and review options.
So, the U.S. military is, in fact, protecting you by letting a Chinese spy balloon hover over our nuclear facilities. That is, in total, an insultingly ridiculous series of sentences. They make no sense. But the administration’s position on the Chinese spy balloon becomes not just ridiculous, but scary when you learn that this is not the first Chinese spy balloon. Other Chinese spy balloons have flown over this country, and the Pentagon didn’t shoot them down either.
Now, you probably didn’t know that because nobody told the public about it. The existence of those Chinese spy balloons was classified. Apparently, it still is classified. Joe Biden’s Pentagon briefers didn’t say a word about it today, as you just saw and by the way, it’s not just Chinese spy balloons over this country. It’s many other countries.
Nearly identical Chinese spy balloons have been dispatched by the Chinese military into the airspace of Japan and India and the Philippines and in at least one case, probably all cases, at least one we know of, over a military installation. So, Chinese spy balloons are actually kind of expensive to make and there’s a diplomatic risk in deploying them over other people’s airspaces. We’re seeing that happen now.
So, you don’t do this on a whim. Hey, let’s send spy balloons over the United States. You do it for a reason. The question is, what’s the reason? We’re going to try to get to the bottom of it, if we can.

Boom, there it is! Micheal Jackson made a song, They Don’t Care About Us!!!!! This proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt!!!!!!! The US and China are in bed together and that means we will come last or not at all again and again. Our voice is ignored, our lives have been in jeopardy, our children brainwashed at school, all the lies and deceit is making our Country broke and maybe beyond repair. They can give us all the excuses(lies) they want but we know who and what they are!
As the world spins around us with our Country being destroyed, I asked the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive, bless and CONVICT our corrupted Leaders and ALL who associate with the evil corruption!
I also ask Jesus to protect us True Christians of Jehovah from all the ugliness of our Government and all the corrupted followers of the Biden Administration and any who do not believe in GOD, AMEN!
Another cover up, lies and traitors! Haven’t we had enough yet! All we do is work hard, pay the corrupted taxes, put up with our Government destroying our Country, take care of our Families, go to bed and do it all over again day after day to see everything we stand for get ripped from us one way or another!
We didn’t sign up for this, we never wanted this and we still don’t.
Government needs to be taught a hard, hard lesson from us people who have been lied to, dumped on, controlled and stripped of our freedom and rights pretty much. We have the POWER to stand together and defeat these evil, corrupted people even if it means to VANQUISH them before they VANQUISH us!

More and more I agree with Ann Barnhardt that Divine Intervention is the only way out of this situation.
Forget about the “Weekend at Bernie’s” stick that the administration tries to sell. This guy is a master strategist. In a little over two years he managed to convert the freest country in the history of the world into a total dictatorship. And people accepted these changes just like sheep.
If you watched his anti-MAGA tirade in front of the two marines with the red lighting in the background, he made ZERO mistakes.

The balloon was shot down over the Atlantic ocean. CCP owned bidet did not want any body to know what was in it. They could have easily shot it down over Montana with no issues, as where it was at one time was open space with no people around.

Of course China Biden waited until the balloon had finished its job and was almost out of US airspace ….. he did not want to piss-off hie OWNERS.
This is just as much TREASON as are millions of UNLAWFUL INVADERS …… Biden MUST DIE for his Acts of Treason.

The trip was to learn where roads, rivers, mountains, open spaces, etc, are. Essential features to use when invading a country.
All the billions of military arms that China trucked back to China from Afghanistan when and where are they going to be used.
Tawain is a distraction for the US Navy. When the China fleet sails into San Fran Harbor how will the fighting begin.

Would you be surprised if that surveillance array on the China balloon was more effective than the spy satellites they have way further up? I wouldn’t.

The only reason that Joe Biden finally allowed the US military to do its job obliterate that spy Balloon isn’t because he cares about American or her people. It’s because Biden still has the conceited fantasy that he will run for reelection in 2024 and if he permits the American forces to take action and destroy that Communist spy balloon , Biden feels that will impress the American voting public that he is “strong President” and “deserves” to be reelected.
