I've been AWOL, no doubt. Just a lot of stuff going on in my life away from this blog. I felt like I needed to weigh in just a little on this balloon fiasco.
"It is balloon!" |
The Communist Chinese tested us. We failed.
There's no excuse whatsoever you can convince me of for us to NOT have shot the thing down nearly immediately after it was detected, which would have been someplace over Alaska. We have a weak President with lousy advisors. Anonymous Pentagon sources leaked that this happened several times on President Trump's watch. Former Secretary of Defense Esper says it didn't. Lemme tell you why Esper is telling the truth and anonymous sources are liars:
If this had happened on Trump's watch it, like they did with EVERYTHING and ANYTHING else, would have been used as a bludgeon to attach and discredit Trump. Hell, they'd have impeached him for it. But it wasn't and they didn't. Why? Because the anonymous sources are lying, again.
Can you imagine allowing a spy balloon to completely transit the continental USA and waiting till it is out over the Atlantic to destroy it? Well, the Communist Chinese don't have to imagine it. They know we elected a pussy, a nincompoop, a feeble old man too weak to lead and too political and unprincipled to stand up for what's right.
What do I think? I think we have the worst President in my lifetime. And it's not even close. People hated Donald Trump so much they voted for an incompetent, dishonest, plagiarizing, corrupt, dementia patient who also happens to be a patsy for the Chicoms.
