      “These three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, of the weather or conducting other scientific research.” Ignoring shouted questions, Biden then turned and went offstage, apparently with a broad grin on his face. After a moment, Biden asks the indelible question, “You think they bought any of that bulls**t?” Someone replies, “Oh, absolutely.” Biden then adds, “Yeah, those guys’ll believe anything. Let’s get outta here.”

          I think he's on drugs and high oxygen therapy, along with severely limiting his activities. There have been a lot of 11AM lids here lately.

          I think they're wringing out as much as they can get...

                          Yeah, it was a spy balloon, and we didn't do anything about it until it was too late.

                          https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/china-spy-balloon-collected-intelligence-us-military-bases-rcna77155

                          The Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites, despite the Biden administration’s efforts to block it from doing so, according to two current senior U.S. officials and one former senior administration official.

                          China was able to control the balloon so it could make multiple passes over some of the sites (at times flying figure eight formations) and transmit the information it collected back to Beijing in real time, the three officials said. The intelligence China collected was mostly from electronic signals, which can be picked up from weapons systems or include communications from base personnel, rather than images, the officials said.

                          The three officials said China could have gathered much more intelligence from sensitive sites if not for the administration’s efforts to move around potential targets and obscure the balloon’s ability to pick up their electronic signals by stopping them from broadcasting or emitting signals.

                          The balloon first entered U.S. airspace over Alaska on Jan. 28, according to the Biden administration, which said it was tracking it as it moved. Within the next four days, the balloon was flying over Montana — specifically Malmstrom Air Force Base, where the U.S. stores some of its nuclear assets.

                          At the time, the U.S. government said it waited to shoot the balloon down until it was over the ocean to avoid any damage or casualties on the ground. The balloon, which was nearly as large as three school buses, would have had a large debris field that U.S. officials could not control as it fell to the earth.

                          “U.S. military commanders had determined downing the balloon while over land posed an undue risk to people across a wide area due to the size and altitude of the balloon and its surveillance payload,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a written statement after the balloon was downed.

                          "It was dangerous to shoot down. That's our story and we're sticking to it."

                              Am confident that NORAD, NSA & CSE did what they are paid to do throughout the duration of any Chinese balloon’s tour of North America. The one in question made headlines only because some civilians saw it and started asking questions.

                              All is good.

                                      Biden: The Chinese leadership knew nothing:

                                      Q On China, Mr. President: Can Secretary Blinken ease tensions with China on this trip, do you think?

                                      THE PRESIDENT: Sure. Well, look, China has some legitimate difficulties unrelating to the — unrelated to the United States. And I think one of the things that that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down, but I don’t think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on. It was — I think it was more embarrassing than it was intentional.

                                      What the actual hell....

                                          Proclaiming publicly that the CCP's leadership is ignorant or has lost control over what's going on are fighting words! They would consider it more insulting (and more damaging to their domestic image) to be accused of incompetence than it is to be accused of malice.
