Here’s your proof: For anyone who remains skeptical of Chinese involvement in those so-called spy balloons, consider the following ad that appeared recently in a Shanghai newspaper: “Wanted, a few good men who enjoy high altitude travel, ability to get along with others in extremely confined quarters a must. Experience in dodging heat-seeking missiles a plus but will train.” Are there still any questions?
College insecurity: With the latest mass shooting on a college campus, you have to wonder if it might be safer in the army than in a place of higher learning.
Trump-era balloons: So the Democrats are saying that during Donald Trump’s presidency, they had three spy balloons like the one that was just shot down. If this was true, why didn’t anybody see it like we’ve seen this one? It’s pretty sad the Democrats have to find some way to blame Trump for everything even when he’s not involved. I highly doubt this happened during Trump’s presidency. I don’t think the Chinese would mess with Trump.
Bigger problems: If in, fact, three balloons flew over the United States under President’s Trump’s administration and the Pentagon never know notified the president, we have bigger issues than the Chinese flying balloons over the United States.
Last line of defense: Our founders added the right to bear arms to our Constitution not only to protect ourselves, hunt to provide food and sport, but also as a last line of defense against a tyrannical government. Why does our present government want to infringe upon that right?
Will he agree? Well, well, well, according to newspaper COVID-19 disaster is declared to end in May. Well, that would be great. Now if we can only get the politicians and so forth, what’s his name again, oh, yeah, Mr. Pritzker, at least we could get him to follow them we’d be in great shape.
