Like Joe Biden needed another headache, along comes a Chinese spy balloon like something out of a James Bond movie.
Only Biden does not appear to be riding to the rescue, or doing much of anything about the brazen and unprecedented taunt by the Chinese.
The Pentagon has rejected calls from some lawmakers to shoot it down, saying the debris field from the huge balloon flying over the U.S. could be potentially dangerous to people on the ground.
The minimum Biden could do was cancel Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to China, but the president himself was in the bunker — ignoring shouted questions at an event on Friday.
Biden officials say the president wouldn’t take questions about the balloon because they were worried it would overshadow good news about the American economy adding 517,000 new jobs.
Right. Because all the media are focused on the economic news. A strange balloon is spying on the United States, flying over missile silos and air force bases, and we’re supposed to write about jobs?
Perhaps White House officials are afraid Biden will say something to make the balloon crisis worse?
“President Biden took that recommendation (not to shoot down the balloon) seriously – of his advisers, clearly. The president will always put the security of the American people first,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Biden is receiving constant briefings about the spy balloon, according to Jean-Pierre.
But Republican lawmakers say the White House should be doing more than just warning China it will not tolerate this kind of act of aggression, accusing the administration of being soft on China.
Former President Donald Trump even weighed in on the bizarre situation, saying “As President, I took the most dramatic action of any administration to curtail China’s ability to conduct espionage in the United States. And when I’m back in the White House, those efforts will be expanded in a very, very big way.”
“The presence of this balloon in our airspace is a clear violation of our sovereignty as well as international law and it is unacceptable,” the White House spokeswoman said.
The balloon is expected to hover over the U.S. for several days – like a cloud hanging over Biden.
But he can’t stay in the bunker forever.
The presence of the spy balloon is just the latest crisis to test the weak Biden administration. It comes on top of the U.S. expanded involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and the continued migration of thousands of unidentified migrants flooding across the Southern border.

Any President who refuses to confront an enemy threat such as this should be immediately removed from office. Trump was impeached twice over nothing—Biden jeopardizes our national security and he hardly gets a blink. This is serious—when a foreign aggressor can pull a stunt like this and say, “in your face” and get away with it we are playing right into their hands.
This is totally inexcusable and unforgivable. Biden is demonstrating clearly that he is unfit for office and whether, buy intent or incompetence, that he is placing our country in potential grave danger.
Oh but it is China!
Yea, his bussom buddies..
One of the corrupt, treasonous, puppet president Joe Biden’s masters IS the communist Chinese.
Other masters like The treasonous Democrat Party elite and Barack PinocchiObama are out to do as much damage to our country as possible.
The corrupt, treasonous, puppet president Joe Biden just bows down to his controllers and says ” Yes Master” I will comply.
Biden leaves both borders open to infiltration and foreign Chinese attack, so what is the surprise when Joe throws the entire American skies into the mix, can our navy be next? Our American Coast guard already is overwhelmed in illegal immigration, whose motto should be changed from “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready) to “ Semper Coopertus” (Always overwhelmed). These Chinese must have so much dirt on Joe and hunter that Joe fears they might reveal unless he bows to their will and exposes us militarily. Joe has run away from his responsibilities and left America more exposed than he did the fallen Afghan government. Withdrawing from engaging an attacking enemy with bad intentions is a recipe for destruction. Mark my words, the Chinese will not let a crisis in AMerican leadership opportunity to take over Taiwan and their Chip making country go to waste, and will act militarily before mind and morality crippled Joe leaves office, who if he just stuck his head in the sand would be better than burying it deep inside Xi’s rear end.
IF i had my way, The coast guard would NEVER be used to rescue illegals, sinking because they overloaded their damn boat.
I believe that it was Theodore Roosevelt who once said, ” Nothing happens in Politics unless it was planned that way.”
Does anyone think that the Chinese spy balloons / OBJECTS, weren’t known by Joe Biden or the democrat elite when the first Chinese spy Ballon came across the United States? they were like the willfully blind who ‘” could not see the forest for the trees.” Communist Russia and China are allies and only the ” willfully blind,” wouldn’t recognize this fact.
Biden is a loyal Chinese communist party member. He follows every order he is given by the Chinese. Indeed, he is a traitor and should be removed from office and the appropriate punishment for a traitor should be executed.
The balloon need not be blown out of the sky merely punctured, so the helium leaks out and the balloon slowly falls to earth. Why in the world does a brigadier general think the American people are so dumb they will believe the garbage we are fed?
Because all too often, they get proven right..

“China Offers ‘No Apology’ for Spy Balloon Over U.S., Blinken Says…”
Story by David Siminoff •
“…senior Chinese official offered “no apology” during a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the countries’ first face-to-face since the spy balloon was discovered and eventually shot down by the U.S. military…”
taken from above article.
Did you hear of the following Expressions- “THE BUCK STOPS HERE or, ASLEEP AT THE switch,
ho’s Watching the Watchman,” A Day Late and a Dollar Short.?
These expressions remind one of democrat President, Joe Biden and his reaction to China’s SPY BALLONS.
Pedo Joe can’t allow that balloon to be popped, because it belongs to his real bosses.
THEY should have popped it, as it came down from Alaska, and was over all that open sea/terrain in northern canada..
I am always caught in a thinking cunumdrum regarding Biden. It is clear there are three things that are true about this president:
(1) He is a crook
(2) He is stupid
(3) He is senile
There are other accurate “attributes” one could apply to Biden, but they generally fall somewhere within the above classifications. My problem is trying to determine which of these personality traits is applicable in each of his actions. In this particular case I would have to say all three have an influence.
#4. HE’s a traitor!
The Chicoms now know they can float an EMP devise over the U.S. and we will await our own demise. Biden will be hiding in the presidential bunker…
Cooking on his GAS cooker no doubt.
Sleepy Joe won’t do squat and the ChiComs know it. If he were to do anything at all, the Chinese will squeal like The Year of the Swine Pig and tell us all about what they are getting (and what Joe’s giving) in exchange for all the $$$$$$ they gave Hunter. So nothing is going to happen.

” Sleepy Joe won’t do squat and the ChiComs know it. If he were to do anything at all, the Chinese will squeal like The Year of the Swine Pig and tell us all about what they are getting (and what Joe’s giving) in exchange…”Never forget,’ THE BIG GUY.’
I am certainly not the only person who sees our leadership’s lack of response and action as treason………
China Joe is on the CCP payroll.
He is beholden to the Global power elites!! They give him his orders!
