• Official Narrative on Chinese Surveillance Balloon Changed Again - This Time the Pentagon's Claim Is Even More Questionable

  01-07-2023 23:25
  
  A lot of people have been asking whether the Biden Administration is full of idiots or if they have a hidden agenda. There’s no way to tell for sure, but it’s probably a mixture of both.
  Take the Chinese spy balloon debacle for example. When first spotted back in February, the Pentagon was pretty sure it was collecting sensitive information as it drifted unheeded over the country. That makes sense. That’s what spy balloons do.

  Ever since its founding almost a century ago, Disney has prided itself on making fun and entertaining content that the whole family can enjoy.
