GOP’s new biz probes may burst balloony Joe Biden’s bubble

With China’s spy balloon crossing the American heartland unmolested and GOP leaders simultaneously starting probes of his family’s corruption, Joe Biden is entering a new phase of his presidency. The worst case scenario is that all his chickens are coming home to roost.

The spy balloon’s appearance and that of two additional objects shot down by the military oddly highlight the importance of the House probes. The possibility that Biden has been compromised by profiting from son Hunter’s lucrative foreign entanglements, especially with China, is drawing extra attention to how the president reacts to the Communist regime’s aggressive surveillance.

So far, his weak-tea response is raising even more suspicions. In fact, it’s fair to say he has done or said nothing that would allay concerns and everything to aggravate them.

It started with his administration’s bizarre radio silence as the balloon crossed over Alaska and entered mainland airspace. Only after a civilian spotted it over Montana did the White House acknowledge what it knew all along.

Later it emerged the president and his team played hush-hush because they didn’t want a dispute with China to get in the way of a planned visit there by Secretary of State Tony Blinken.

File that one under appeasement. The visit was canceled only out of embarrassment, but it’s not clear if Blinken planned to condemn the balloon or simply pretend it didn’t happen. My bet is on the latter.

The rhetoric coming from the administration - once they decided on a course of action after the secret balloon flights became public - is demonstrably one-sided.

Its purpose is undeniably red herring-ish.

...and smells coopted.
