President Biden and his administration knew for nearly a week that a Chinese spy balloon was hovering in U.S. airspace — but kept the incursion secret, fearing it would derail Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
Republicans expressed “outrage” over the president’s refusal to act.
“Communist China’s surveillance balloon violates international law and threatens our homeland,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island) told The Post.
“It’s an outrage that the Biden Administration spotted this balloon days ago as it was flying over the Aleutian Islands and did nothing about it,” she said. “The president has not even made a comment about this unacceptable act of aggression by the CCP.”
The politics of the looming 2024 presidential election also played a role in Biden’s actions, sources told Bloomberg, with the fraught US-China relationship expected to be a central foreign policy issue.
Team Biden became aware of the balloon on Jan. 28, Bloomberg reported, when it was spotted over Alaska.
The US military tracked it as it flew into Canadian airspace, then re-entered American skies on Tuesday. The next day, Biden received a detailed briefing on the balloon and its course, attended by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

Do you think it really matters to his voters? They need racism and homophobia to distract and muddy the waters.
“Do you think it really matters to his voters? They need racism and homophobia to distract and muddy the waters.”
You couldn’t be more correct.
Is there any doubt that Biden is the Manchurian President?
Im curious how this leaked out that it was a Chicom balloon.
.
No.
Not really.
I saw “TRUMP 24” graphic on the balloon.
I see a giant “TRUMP 24” sign every time we see that balloon.
I suspect that Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer were read in... They are not likely briefing the whole gang of eight. This is why you see so many pissed off Senators. But not much from Schumer or McConnell. My estimation is that right now, the CCP has fully activated McConnell, Schumer and Biden. Just intuition, but it feels like this is a signal to the boys that it is time for them to fully submit our county to their CCP masters. The Balloon, once public and no action... the signal appears to have been received. Biden is not the only US Senator who sold his country out to the CCP. It looks like the old boys probably helped install other around them to protect them in the US Senate and help drill them deep down into the bowls of our Government. Why now... Biden is about to be removed from Office and the CCP doesn’t want to lose their prime asset.
The story eluded the misinformation’ filters by presenting as a UFO report and the air force rushed to debunk it as a flying saucer.
Maybe something like that?
Imagine that when Trump runs again, he organizes lots of hot air balloons to fly all over the country with his name in 50 foot high lettering?
Take that joe.
Heard it did not become public until seen by a civilian on a commercial flight.
It really, really is past time to impeach this MF’r.
Russia and China might as well nuke us now as all our administration will retaliate with is a strongly worded statement.
Dumshit will probably have it shot down over international waters with no recovery effort. We’ll lose whatever intel there is and Chinese will have a huge beef!
Biden is not to be trusted to any extent. With anything.
That Biden hasn’t been trotted out to say he has ordered the shoot down of the Red Chinese balloons and closure of the Chicom embassies and consulates confirms who now rules us.
Biden is being blackmailed.
Just now got a text from a friend about to fly from Baltimore to Cancun.
Her plane is sitting on the runway - but denied permission to take off.
Because of the balloon.
“I see a giant “TRUMP 24” sign every time we see that balloon”
If that were the case it would have been shot down best got to Alaska
