Balloons and Hot Air
American Thinker ^ | 5 Feb, 2023 | Clarice Feldman

Biden, his administration, and the entire U.S. military and political establishment humiliated by a balloon.

There are sites which regularly publish President Biden’s verbal gaffes. When he’s not hiding in his basement these perilous days, those gaffes are one of the few things you can reliably count on.

Townhall.com published one Biden flub this week that is among my favorites.

BIDEN: "More than half the women in my administration are women."

If you doubt the accuracy of this there’s a video they’ve published which captured it.

Now that I think of it, given the way that Biden staffed his administration, perhaps this wasn’t a gaffe, but a rare moment of honesty from someone so consistently dissembling over many years that he makes Congressman George Santos look like an amateur.

In a break from the focus on Russia and Ukraine this week, a Chinese spy balloon was captured on film over Montana as it traveled across the country, viewing and transmitting home -- from a 90-foot array of equipment -- who knows what. There was a claim that it exploded over Montana, but that claim seems to have been credibly debunked.

The military claims it cannot do anything about it, that the balloon currently does not pose a "military or political" threat. They’ve also contended that in their assessment shooting it down could create debris that might hurt people on the ground.

The Chinese claim it’s a weather (meteorology balloon) that strayed into our territory. That seems unlikely, so you can expect there’s a great deal of speculation about its purpose. Is it to taunt us? Humiliate our demented president and his administration? Is it a trial run for something worse?

I think the balloon being purely a spying device is another example of Biden Administration and the media spreading lies. Using a balloon as a spying platform has numerous disadvantages not the least of which that the balloon is not steerable. By chance it might drift over sites of interest, but it is at the mercy of the winds. However, this balloon could be a test of a bio weapon platform aimed at the US food supply. The balloon drifted over most of the agricultural heartland of the US. A balloon like this would be the ideal platform for spreading Chinese bio weapons aimed at destroying food crops and decimating US livestock production. We know from the Wuhan flu fiasco that the Chinese are actively engaging in bio weapons research. What better way to destroy US power than to cripple the nations food supply. Biden’s green agenda is already threatening food production and a virus that destroys or stunts major food crops or a mutated virulent swine flu or bovine anthrax that kills off our livestock might easily lead to near starvation.

Half the women in his administration are women?

I would have put that figure at about 25% non tranny.
