Over the past week one gigantic, white Chinese balloon – almost as large as three school buses – and two other large unidentified objects have been shot down by the US military over North American airspace. Yesterday President Biden ordered that an object floating over Alaska be shot down, and today Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after consultation with President Biden, gave the go-ahead for US fighter jets to shoot down an unidentified object that was floating high above Canada’s Yukon Territory.
The Chinese balloon which was shot down first is now believed to have been a spy balloon that was monitoring US communications.
Congressional clown Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from rural Georgia who whines about being underpaid for all of her hard work in Congress, attempted to troll both President Biden as well as Pentagon officials by carrying a large white balloon into the State if the Union address this past Tuesday night. Greene, who alerted right-wing noise outlets ahead of her political stunt, said she was expressing her wrath that the Chinese balloon had not been shot down when she first demanded it.
(This tired old typist is pleased to know that neither President Biden nor US military officials appear to be responding to the political and military advice of Marge Greene.)
Efforts by the Canadian government to salvage the object that was shot down today over the Yukon Territory are currently underway. Maybe then we will finally have some idea of what is happening high above the Northern Lights. Until then, however, we are stuck with paranoid conspiracies and political rumors being generated by American right-wing gadflies and distilled through Fox News.
And it is going to take far more than a big balloon to make Marge Greene a relevant voice in American government. Perhaps she should also try carrying a bottle of seltzer water and wearing floppy shoes!
