These potentially radar jamming balloons are detectable from an old fashioned method. People looking up. Was nobody looking up on Trump's 3 times he allowed balloons from China to cross the country? "People from towns including Villa Ridge, Hermann, Troy, Wentzville, O'Fallon, Missouri, Ballwin, south St. Louis and others reported seeing the white dot in the sky Friday afternoon." https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/across-region-st-louisans-look-up-and-see-chinese-spy-balloon-in-sky/ar-AA175LBi?item=flights%3Aprg-tipsubsc-v1a&ocid=windirect

I think the "deeply dangerous" he's referring to the false accusations and statements from quarters that should be apolitical designed to let biden off yet another scandal by falsely claiming the same happened under Trump. A familiar pattern to many of us.

All that is left now is to determine whether the 3 balloons transited the entire US mainland like Biden's did, or whether it was near the Aleutians but not even in US airspace at all? I suspect strongly the 3 balloons under Trump did NOT cross the entire mainland and likely did not even enter US airspace at all. Nothing like a collapsing narrative!

Reads like frantic backpedalling from the false claims yesterday the Trump admin allowed at least 3 of these Chinese spy balloons to cross the USA just like biden's balloon did. Ouch. Always worthwhile running a quick filter through eyebrow raising news. If it is attacking Trump, from media that famously called the Biden laptop "Russian disinformation" without evidence, and is perfectly timed to distract from disasters in the Biden administration it is almost certainly fake news.

quote 1 "Did President Trump covered up the incursions because he did not want to jeopardize the relationship with China that may soured up his businesses there? I don't know. " 2 "Moreover, did Trump even protested to China about the intrusions? We didn;t hear about that too. Too much coverup during Trump's adminstration to give him a pass on any benefit of doubt. " 2 highly inflammatory false claims, both as usual attacking President Trump. Now, what really happened? "The military did not detect previous flights of Chinese spy balloons over the U.S. that took place during the Trump administration, a top general said Monday, due to a “gap” in the Defense Department’s ability to track certain airborne objects. Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of North American Aerospace Defense Command, cited the issue as the reason that at least three spy balloon flights were not briefed to senior Trump officials at the time." https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/06/military-chinese-spy-balloon-00081371 Interesting. Neither Trump, nor his administration knew about the balloons. So the past 24 hours bash-a-thon of Trump for allowing at least 3 Chinese spy balloons to transit the USA was, as suspected, a lie. A perfectly timed, totally self serving lie, crafted to give false perspective to Biden's weakness and chaotic response. Just typical....

Just so much wrong in such a short post. 1.Canada is not part of the USA 2.No Canadian will get "a bit miffed" if the US shot down a spy satellite in US waters near the very remote Aleutian islands(part of Alaska). 3.Who said anything about shooting it down in international airspace? That would have been very foolish and possibly illegal, however nodody apart from you is suggesting that. "The balloon entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28 north of the Aleutian Islands, entered Canadian airspace over the Northwest Territories on Jan. 30, then traveled south and reentered U.S. airspace over northern Idaho on Jan. 31, according to a senior military official." https://abcnews.go.com/US/chinese-surveillance-balloon-spotted/story?id=96883610

Quite incredible how Trump's classified documents issue has dropped off the 24/7 news cycle it was on, isn't it? I wonder how that could have happened? Did unpredicted events force the narrative to change dramatically? From the most serious crime possible and a clear danger to US security, to crickets... I am left wondering if the outrage was justified and authentic?

might it have been better to destroy it over the Pacific before the spy mission even started? lots of water there and no people...

Can you be specific about your claim there was interference in the 2016 election? I realize you are probably referring to the long debunked claim that Trump colluded with Putin to effectively cheat in the 2016 election(1), while now we know the DOJ was involved in actively censoring conservatives and shutting down inconvenient news(2) before the election which totally misinformed the public(3). Which interference do you refer to? supporting links for all claims made (1) https://nypost.com/2019/04/18/verdicts-in-its-a-complete-exoneration-for-trump/ (2) "The FBI pressured Twitter to suppress The Post’s blockbuster scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop by warning it could be part of a Russian “hack and leak” operation — even while knowing the concern was unfounded, according to internal company records made public Monday." https://nypost.com/2022/12/19/fbi-reached-out-to-twitter-before-post-broke-hunter-biden-laptop-story/ (3)https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276

from the OP "“the FBI has never been in the business of investigating speech or policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else, and we never will be. Our focus is and always will be on protecting people from violence and threats of violence,” the bureau said." Well that is a complete lie. Thanks to the incredible Twitter files and honest media outlets with the integrity to cover what happened we know that is a lie. "FBI leadership and Twitter censors conferred constantly about how to shut down political speech based on its content, confirming the suspicions of, well, anyone who was paying attention. And it proves without a doubt that over the past few years, countless Americans have undergone a real violation of their First Amendment rights." https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-colluded-twitter-suppress-free-speech-where-outrage-opinion-1768801 Go get them Jim Jordan, don't forget the perjury charges too!

Looks like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. A show of strength would have been to wallop the thing the 2nd it came near the US not wait until it had FLOWN OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY presumably spy mission complete and data sent home. What weakness, what confusion, a lame duck president on his last legs.

One of the only voices calling for negotiated peace and an end to the war. Thank you Trump, on the right side of an issue as usual.

This would NEVER have happened under Trump. The current regime's weakness is on full display to rogues worldwide. Quite disastrous.

I think it say alot about the integrity, maturity and security of the Republican party being able to discus stuff Mrs Greene has said and done in the distant past. This is because transparency is good in politics. I would be appalled if discussion of Mrs Greene's past behavior was censored, and those discussing it banned or punished from social media, because it is not convenient to the Republican parties interests - as is the case with certain democrat ex congresswomen for example - i dare not go further to illustrate my point.... If only liars , crooks, fraudsters and cheats were able to be exposed from BOTH parties we would have a much better democracy.

"from what some would call cultural bias, or others would call internalized white supremacy — you’re indoctrinated to believe that certain groups are more prone to criminal behavior than others" Well that is an interesting point the author makes. I wonder if there is any real life statistics that prove that "certain groups are more prone to criminal behavior than others" or if as the author suggests it's all about racism not reality? This narrative blaming racism for 5 black cops killing a black guy resisting arrest is IMO pure grift, and is ridiculous to the point of being satirical. If you turn the situation around and have 5 white cops offing a white guy resisting arrest and then literally blame it on "'cuz black people" then you can see how racist and silly the argument is.

"The levy applies to profits made from extracting UK oil and gas, but not from other activities - such as refining oil and selling petrol and diesel on forecourts." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60295177 Relevance? Looks like PR to convince man on the street that his govt are being tough on big energy. Shell extracts almost all of its oil and gas outside the UK so is really not affected by this insane tax. The small companies exploring the North Sea however have been decimated by it. This will ultimately lead to less UK gas being extracted and a higher price - a few years down the road. Nice one Sunak

Please state why my post is a "conspiracy theory". We all know the conspiracy theory was the left falsely and without evidence claiming Hunter's laptop was "Russian Disinformation" just before an election, leading to the banning of facts online to allow a false narrative beneficial to the democrat party.

I got as far as the first sentence before encountering disinformation. Hunter's laptop didn't go "missing". Hunter dropped it off at a Mac repair shop and did not collect it. Let's stick to facts here, even if they are not beneficial to the democrat narrative. "Della Rocca insisted that Mac Isaac became the legal owner of the laptop after Biden’s son dropped it off to be repaired in April 2019 — but failed to return to reclaim it despite attempts by Mac Isaac to contact him. “When Hunter signed the work order, he gave authorization to John Paul to access the information on the laptop in order to recover the data,” Della Rocca said. https://nypost.com/2023/02/02/lawyer-for-hunter-biden-laptop-repairman-slams-first-son-as-desperate/

"Do wonder why he waited this long. Seems a simple enough case: drop laptop off to be fixed, shop steals the contents and unload them to others of similar political bent who must know this is stolen." Don't suppose he had much choice, what with the entire left leaning legacy media falsely and without evidence claiming that his laptop was "Russian disinformation". Or maybe he could have waited until the day after the election, and then said OK OK it IS mine after all?

"Hundreds of Chicago teachers and school officials sexually groomed and assaulted students last school year, according to a report released this week." https://news.yahoo.com/chicago-schools-watchdog-finds-hundreds-021144183.html My favourite one single example would be Alden Bunag, it is a standout due to his tweets(absolutely echoing the left wing narrative here) blaming the right wing for making up the grooming issue while at the same time he was grooming children. Busted, big time. it went from "In posts on Twitter now viral, Bunag accuses conservatives of "defending fascists" and "projecting" in vitriolic exchanges about "groomers" and sex education." to "The criminal complaint alleged 33-year-old Alden Bunag shared videos of himself "having sexual intercourse with a boy identified by name," referred to in the complaint as 13-year-old "male victim 1." https://www.kitv.com/news/local/oahu-high-school-teacher-considered-flight-risk-after-child-pornography-charges/article_3d82b38c-f2ce-11ec-9588-77c571843e9b.html You're welcome now please stop falsely claiming grooming never happens

2 groups of people are affected by these anti grooming laws, they are young children in the school system and perverts that are preying on young children. I find it most odd that among your usual false claims (on a factual news discussion forum?) you claim to be "targeted" by DeSantis's effort to protect kids. Constantly going on about nonsensical genocide, fascists and ridiculous claims about intent of laws that are solely created to protect vulnerable children seems out of place where others are forced to use credible sources to back up assertions made. Not you though?

We have known for several days that Biden's son appeared to have had access to the classified documents AND used them for questionable purposes. Can you admit, IF this assertion/email is true that it would make Biden's classified scandal in a different league of awfulness to Pense and Trump - who NOBODY has accused of using classified documents for personal enrichment. "And this email is unusual in the Hunter Biden emails, there's a level of scholarship and erudition that if it magically appeared, somehow it doesn't appear in the other emails he's sending," he continued. "The obvious question is what was he cutting and pasting from? What was his source? And it raises the natural inference that Hunter Biden had direct access to these classified documents." https://www.foxnews.com/media/hunter-bidens-email-burisma-business-partner-infers-direct-access-classified-information-cruz

Can't help but be impressed by Mr DeSantis's love of children and desire to protect them in spite of the hammering the fake news media(don't say gay bill lie and falsely claiming protecting kids is against the LGBT movement - totally bizarre false claims) give him. Certainly getting my vote. I trust his judgement over what books are allowed in kids schools, certainly no place for "teachers" grooming the kids or putting strange sexual ideas in their developing minds. I wonder even if the posters that want 3rd grade kids sexualized by their teachers even have young children of their own? "DeSantis expanded that proposal, saying child sexual abuse — specifically rape — should also be punishable by death, with a minimum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. “These people don’t care. They are unrepentant,” DeSantis said. “... I believe the only appropriate punishment that would be commensurate to that would be capital.” https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article271614392.html Amen Sir, keep on protecting the vulnerable kids.

" do you think old Putin would have thought he could get away with Ukraine if he dident have Trump working for him?" Please supply a link to credible media to support this (completely false) assertion.

Why is discussing sexual activities with opposite sex workmates called sexual harassment and a firing(or worse) offense, yet with grade 3 children it is all fine and good? Sorry I don't buy it. This saga is made a million times worse by the left swearing the sexualization of young children at school is a "right wing conspiracy theory" yet are going ballistic when HERO Ron DeSantis bans it?!?!
