White House and National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that they could not find debris of the three unidentified objects. But they made the decision already that they were benign or commercial or a research entity. Both statements are contradicting statements. If they have not found the debris, how in the world can they have exact information. They do not even know yet who owns these objects. We call ourselves the greatest country in the world. but we cannot find the debris of all three objects. One was in the ocean, one on the ice and one in the lake (even though it is like a sea of about over 5,088 kilometers of shoreline).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Biden is quiet against China\u2019s spy balloon. Does the Hunter Biden investigation into his China dealings have something to do with it? Why is Biden not speaking up? China has claimed that there have spotted 10 U.S. spy balloons in their airspace within the past year. How come they stayed quiet until now? If the Pentagon states that they have spotted three balloons at the time of Trump Administration, how come not a single high command official in the Trump Administration knew about it? Also, the media would have been all over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to CNN: \u201cOn Thursday, officials revealed that they believe the spy balloons the US has discovered are part of a large fleet that is conducting surveillance operations globally on behalf of China\u2019s military, the People\u2019s Liberation Army. So far, the US has traced the balloons to 40 countries across five continents, officials said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We the people of the United States need an explanation from the Biden Administration and Biden himself. Things are going wrong in our country. The power we gave our leaders is being used against us for their own benefits. NewsNation reporter Evan Lambert was arrested when he was covering a news conference by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. He was covering the aftermath of the train derailment near the Pennsylvania state line. According to NewsNation, \u201che was doing a live shot of the press conference. Lambert, as he was placed into a squad car, said, \u2018It\u2019s tough to do your job in America in 2023, but we\u2019ll keep doing it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the reason may be, the police should not push him down, handcuff and arrest him. Governor DeWine, a republican, said that he had not authorized law enforcement to do so. News reporters have every right to cover the event and report to the people the truth with the best of their ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Republicans have their eye on Hunter Biden and his business dealings in Ukraine and China. Now they have the House Oversight Committee to find out the facts. The panel is asking for records of Hunter Biden, James Biden &#8211; brother of President Biden &#8211; and Hunter Biden\u2019s business partner Eric Schwerin. The committee gave the trio until Feb. 22 to respond before they decide whether to issue subpoenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Have a wonderful week.
