In trying to blame Trump, NORAD openly admits it totally sucks.

Note the word “briefly” is used. 5 seconds...1 minute...1 hour...?

So if these anonymous reports are legit, the woke military generals' version of events is that they have 100% allowed Red China spy balloons to traverse the US for years, not even bothering to inform political leadership, and only shot down this one because the public noticed? OK

"PRC (People's Republic of China) government surveillance balloons transited the continental U.S. briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration, but never for this duration of time."

Is this the exact quote reported elsewhere? Asking because I thought the original quote just said Chinese aircraft.

If they “transited” more briefly during the Trump admin they must have been going a lot faster, or much shorter distances. The word transited is usually understood to mean going all the way across, or all the way through, not just cutting across a corner or whatever. Maybe just a weird choice of words.

Yep, that's the simple truth. Too many leakers, too juicy a topic to pass up.

We are to believe that a balloon carrying a package of something to size of a school bus can just sneak into US airspace undetected, but years later some unknown source says it happened. Biden Administration is more than grasping at straws. If this happened we better have the Joint Chiefs before Congress immediately to explain this vulnerability.

The US military certainly had the capability to monitor this balloon even before it crossed into US airspace and it would have been reported up the chain of command. Someone in the Biden Administration chose to ignore this threat for some unknown reason and only when the balloon was spotted by civilians did the Administration act. Biden and company obviously do not care about defending the country.
