The Biden administration has been trying to plug a gigantic hole in their story about Chinese spy balloons flying over U.S. territory during the Trump administration with no one in the government aware of it.
Initially, the Biden administration sought to deflect attention from their failure to shoot down the balloon by noting that Chinese spy balloons transited U.S. territory three times during the Trump years. But when several Trump administration officials hotly denied that charge, Biden administration officials changed their story. They claimed that the balloons were only over U.S. territory briefly — skirting Hawaii and flying over part of Florida — unlike this latest spy balloon, which traversed the entire width of the country. They also claimed that the balloons weren’t detected.
But how do we know this if the balloons weren’t detected and national leaders weren’t informed of their presence?
The American military had a “domain awareness gap,” according to Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command.
“Every day as a NORAD commander, it’s my responsibility to detect threats to North America. I will tell you that we did not detect those threats,” VanHerck said. “And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out, but I don’t want to go into further detail.”
What’s a “domain awareness gap”?

There are only three choices:
1. Incompetence.
2. Sedition.
3. Both.

Their bosses in China told them.
Little Jamie saw a balloon 3 different times.
The Balloon Gap
Why are we wasting US intelligence resources in trying to detect something that happened at least two years ago? Is it something like, we know where the high tide stopped because we see the debris line, but we didn’t actually see the high tide? Sounds like a bunch of junk trying to find a happening by finding the ripples it left. And then, it’s not necessarily a valid conclusion.
Why on earth would the government make public the fact they detected an aerial intruder and eliminated it. They have the authority to just shoot it down, say nothing and wait to see if anyone or any government has an issue with it. Publicizing it just open up another can of worms as we can see in this case.
“..noting that Chinese spy balloons transited U.S. territory three times during the Trump years...”
If the truth be known, I believe that statement would be classified a complete fabrication - made out of whole cloth. The General should take a job with NYT or MSNBC.
Mark Levin yesterday on his radio show was calling it treason. Someone covered it up when Trump was in office.
China probably called up their fellow traveler and China enabler Joe Biden and told him to tell people that.
RE: The Balloon Gap
Regaarding This mumbo jumbo about “Domain Awareness Gap”....
Bottom Line: With their back up against the wall - the ‘deep state’ is now suggesting that they’re simply incompetent when it comes to detecting foreign spy balloons in real time.
It is time to reorganize community sky and coast watch programs. Once again there will be Boy Scouts in towers scanning the skies for dark silhouettes of enemy aircraft and reporting positions and directions to ground units via semaphore.
This is the Biden years.
Pop go the weasels.
This is like the classified documents. Biden was sloppy with them, so now everyone has classified docs.
The balloon flew over our country under biden’s watch, so they have to come out and say that there were overflights during Trump’s watch.
Like Clinton’s defense. Everybody does this. What is the big deal?
IMO, this is an obvious fabrication to try and cover Biden...
What is utterly ridiculous and sad is that there are people who actually believe them....
An obvious attempt to try to claim "domain awareness" was not as good under Trump as it now is under Biden, which is likely complete BS.
A DOMAIN AWARENESS GAP -
just wow
