The Big Guy had planned on hiding Chinese spy balloon from Congress

The so called Biden administration led by someone in the shadows, reportedly decided not to tell the public or the U.S. Congress that China floated a spy balloon into our airspace earlier this year.

Gen. Glen VanHerck, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), alerted Gen. Mark Milley who swears he's not afraid and happens to be the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the existence of the electronically equipped spy balloon and the U.S.’ efforts to track it for more than a week. 

Yes, more than a week in our airspace gathering data over sensitive military locations because our alleged President is weak and probably incontinent. By the time it was made public, the spying took place over Alaska, according to NBC News.

The Biden administration went into full panic mode as they frenetically tap danced for more than a week trying to figure out how to get out of this clusterfrack. See, this incompetent administration is more concerned about how to keep from looking incompetent than doing the competent thing. One of their first responses to the situation was to point fingers at former President Trump as a way to distract from what they didn't do.

The report said that Biden officials were privately “complain[ing]” about “the political outcry over the balloon” because they did not view a balloon that was designed to collect intelligence on sensitive U.S. military sites as being a serious “threat” to U.S. national security, the report said.

True, the balloon per se was not the threat itself; it was what the balloon's information gathering that would be a threat down the proverbial road to perdition.

Biden's official clowns were worried about the damage that was done to U.S.-China relations because they believed that China was “angered and humiliated,” which they believed was “a far graver threat to the U.S. than the balloon itself.”

They were afraid of embarrassing the bully, it appears.

The report said that the administration “hoped to conceal the balloon’s existence from the public, and from Congress, according to multiple former and current administration and congressional officials.”

Rear Admiral Rachel Levine was unavailable for comment.

Can you say 'treason'?

MSNBC moron calls for end of NORAD Santa tracker

A Morons Schmucks Nuts Ballsacks and Communists (MSNBC) columnist is calling for the end of NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) Santa tracker bloviating that it's time to "decouple" Santa Claus from American military culture. You know this person doesn't celebrate Christmas and hates the country and the military that defends it.

In an op-ed published on MSNBC.com, opinion communist Hayes Brown was upset over the 60-year tradition of tracking Santa Claus's imaginary flight across the globe delivering presents. Brown said, "if I had my way, this year would be the last."

If I had my way, this year would be the last we'd hear from Hayes Brown in the media. He falls into the "S" category of MSNBC, and probably the "C" category too.

"No, I’d prefer we end the tradition because it’s about time that we decoupled St. Nick from the world’s most powerful military," Hayes Brown wrote, evidently thinking that normal children everywhere think of the U.S. or Canadian military as part of Santa's journey. 

It should not surprise anyone if we find that Brown is also pro historical statue removal and, as long as it doesn't pertain to him, is a cancel culture creep. [I was thinking of a different 'c' word but was able to maintain rhetorical discipline.]

 "American culture is saturated with a desire to associate the military with the saccharine. We get videos of soldiers returning home to their pets or children but never questions about why they were deployed for so long or what threat they were fighting; military jets flying over NFL games give us an injection of jingoist testosterone before more regionally focused battles of testosterone are played on the field; and we get the Netflix movie "Operation Christmas Drop," a seasonally themed rom-com that cheerfully seeks to boost approval for America’s military base in Guam."

It's because of our military who defend our Constitution that people like Brown can rant against the country in the first place. And let's face it, this guy's testosterone level is less than Scarlett Johanssen's.

Brown explained that he does not consider himself a "scrooge" and does acknowledge the joy the practice brings children but ultimately believes: "The messier business of war that goes on in the background doesn’t jibe with the Christmas spirit."

I'm surprised Brown didn't bring up racism and/or Trump.

Brown outlined examples of the U.S. military, in his belief, not being held accountable for military strikes that left civilians dead and then wondered aloud if the military would be held accountable if it killed Santa Claus in a drone strike. What a stretch of a sick mind.

The article ends with Brown  unable to answer that question, which he says is part of the justification for stopping the NORAD practice of tracking Santa.

One Twitter user accused Brown of "hubris" and said "people are on duty at command centers all over the world, right now, Christmas Eve night" and "this serves as an international *training exercise* of tracking & comms systems in an enjoyable way."

Our alleged President Biden and his illustrious doctor wife Jill  took part in the NORAD Santa tracker ritual on Christmas Eve. They were also part of that viral moment when a caller said to him, "Let's go Brandon", a popular online phrase that TV sports broadcaster claim she heard when the crowd shouted "F**k Joe Biden" at a NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. 

Brandon Brown won his first race and was being interviewed by the NBC Sports reporter and when the phrase was shouted, she pretended they were cheering Brandon Brown on with "Let's go Brandon." When the caller said that phrase to Biden, he responded, "Let's go Brandon. I agree."

Yes, we all agree.

USAF jets intercept 2 Russian bombers off Alaska coast

Two U.S. Air Force stealth fighter jets intercepted a pair of nuclear-capable Russian bombers Friday morning off the coast of Alaska A NORAD spokesman told Fox News. [Sarah Palin said she could see the action from her house--just kidding.]

The bombers, two Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" aircraft, were the first of its kind in a little over a year to approach close to U.S. territory, nearing over Alaska's west coast, about 55 miles from the shore. To be clear, they remained over international airspace, so no harm, no foul.

However, the zone they entered is a U.S. air-defense identification zone (ADIZ), which is defined as airspace extending about 200 miles from the nation's coastline.

We greeted the bombers with two F-22s and stayed with them until they left the ADIZ along the Aleutian Islands, heading west. They did at no time enter North American sovereign airspace.

The Russian "Bears" date back to the 1950s. [I've encountered them flying over the USS Independence CVA-62 heading toward the Mediterranean during the Vietnam War. We greeted them with F-4 Phantoms and the Bear went on its merry way.] These giant birds were met with our F-22s around 10:00 a.m. EDT.

The Tupolev Tu-95 is a huge, four-engine turboprop, and a strategic bomber and missile platform. It was first flown in 1952, entered Soviet service in 1956 and is expected to remain in service until 2040. 

It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operation, and is one of the loudest monsters in the sky due to the fact that the propeller tips rotate faster than the speed of sound.

Earlier this month, a Russian fighter jet buzzed a U.S.N. reconnaissance plane in the Baltic Sea. The Sukhoi Su-27 jet reportedly came within 20 feet of the American P-8 in international space. We called their maneuver "unprofessional," but luckily the Su-27 pilot was professional enough not to cause an air traffic accident.

Today is the 60th anniversary of NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command that monitors all air activity coming from within and outside North American airspace.

Happy anniversary!

USAF jets intercept 2 Bears and 2 fighters

The U.S. Air Force intercepted a pair of Russian Tu-95 "Bear" bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons about 50 miles southwest of Chariot, Alaska on Thursday. The bombers were escorted by two Russian Su-35 fighter jets and entered the Alaska Air Defense Zone early Thursday morning.

Although the airspace in question is over international territory, it should be considered a provocation by the Putin regime and designed to determine our response time.

Russian Tu-95s are no strangers to our defense zones but it's unusual for them to be accompanied by Su-35 "Flanker" fighter jets.

The U.S. intercept was carried out by a pair of Air Force F-22 stealth fighter jets that were in the process of flying patrol in the area. 

A NORAD spokesperson told Fox News the intercept started at 9:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. 

According to officials, the Su-35 jets were unarmed and in international airspace. 

The incident comes just one day after President Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke over the phone. According to the White House, the two men discussed the crises in the Middle East and North Korea but Trump did not discuss recent Russian provocations such as the four consecutive days last month in which Russian bombers flew near Alaska for the first time since 2014.

The conversation between the two egos was described by the White House as "a very good one."

That says it all.
