you’re on a roll.

Judgment is now kicking in and I am just not going to take that bait.

If they were able to get the coordinates of these “objects” by sending F22 and F16s to shoot them down, why couldn’t satellites have zoomed in on what it was and taken some pictures so we can all see these mysterious crafts? Why is nobody asking this question to the officials?

We can read your license plate from space, but we can neither confirm nor deny that national defense is a CF.

Wag the balloon!

No wonder the DOD is being so evasive about the octagonal (really it was hexagonal) "object".

Remember: "Lock your doors tonight!" There could be a hobby lobby balloon in your neighbor hood.

...serves as a "powerful deterrence" to high school students

Lol, is he kidding? It serves as a powerful incentive! What high school student wouldn't love to be able to summon an F-22 fighter jet to spectacularly and shoot something down for him and his friends for a measly twelve bucks?

The farmer’s insurance guy was killed by an drone strike. The Biden admin said they had to take those balloons out before he set them free.

I guess my eco-friendly air travel plans will have to be cancelled.
