MSM: "Mr. President -- so exactly what was shot down?

Biden: "We don't really know as it was blown up real good."

I wonder if we went to war how long before we run out of those spendy munitions? How long could we wage a high tech war?

This sounds like the economic programs the Dems always follow.

I hope the FBI has put all those domestic terrorists in the “bottle balloon brigade militia” on the No Fly list

Wouldn’t you think that if they were seeing unidentified objects being shot down, they would have contacted authorities where their balloon was so as to not get popped?

Actually it took 2 $400,000 missiles to bring it down. The Canadian Premier stated that the UFO was “defeated”.

Very strong circumstantial evidence.

Northern Illinois Bottle Cap Balloon Brigade. NIBBB. Free people having fun.

Their blog is totally down now.

They seem scared and put out that they are not claiming it was their balloon.

Then their blog went dead. One must use Wayback Machine to see it now.

This could be because they got a huge bump up in traffic.
