Treason: Top Biden Officials Held Secret Talks with Chinese About Their Spy Balloon Traversing the US Before the Public Spotted It in the Sky – They Were Worried About Optics

In January 2022, the Biden administration knew about the Chinese spy balloon traversing across the continental United States, from Alaska to the Carolinas, but sought to conceal this from the American public.

A newspaper photographer first spotted the balloon over Montana.

The Chinese spy balloon first entered US airspace over Alaska in late January.

Joe Biden and Mark Milley knew the surveillance balloon was over the US, yet Biden chose to stand down.

The balloon soared over nuclear silos and military installations across the US with Joe Biden’s full approval.

In fact the Chinese spy balloon was using US parts and US internet as it crossed the US to spy on military installations and nuclear silos.

The balloon was shot down over the Atlantic just off the coast of the Carolinas.

According to the Pentagon, the spy balloon carried explosives to self-detonate, was 200 feet tall, and weighed thousands of pounds.

The Administration knew about the spy balloon but sought to conceal it from the American public.

The Biden regime did not even notify the Gang of Eight Congressional leaders about the security breach by the Communist Chinese.

Retired General Mark Milley knew about the Chinese balloon but followed the lead of the Biden regime and kept it from the public.

That was not the only lie told by Mark Milley.

General Milley also knew the spy balloon was collecting data as it flew over the continental US but kept this from the American public.

Now, there is evidence that Biden officials, including Secretary of State Tony Blinken, were holding private talks with the Chinese before the American public spotted the spy balloon in the sky.

Chuck Todd Finally Confesses but There’s a Catch

Dinosaur legacy media has-been Chuck Todd finally admitted that he helped hide Joe Biden’s decline because he didn’t want to help Donald Trump. But there’s one little problem with Todd’s confession: He doesn’t understand that he’s guilty of anything.

I’m so angry, I had to set this column aside several times before I could finish it. Vitriol to follow. 

Todd, you might remember, is the media tool who was so overpriced that he “chose” to exit NBC News earlier this year rather than accept a pay cut after decades as a useful lapdog to the Democrat cause. “Now it can be told,” as Ed Morrissey put it earlier this week — the fancy footwork Todd used to kinda-sorta tell the truth about Biden to give himself just enough plausible deniability to sleep at night.

How did that work?

Todd told Piers Morgan on Wednesday that he and his MSM compadres were “subtle” in their coverage of Biden’s accelerating senescence. “I would argue the reason people were able to come to their own conclusion on Joe Biden is because of the media coverage,” Todd said, without any obvious signs of cocaine on his face. “Look, we were subtle. ‘He’s using the back staircase. He’s not using the front staircase.’ ‘Hey, he’s not doing any interviews.’”

Let me translate that for you. Todd’s NBC News and every other legacy outlet barely reported on the things the White House could not hide and helped the White House hide what they could, and now Todd is giving everybody — including himself — a pat on the back for how they “subtly” reported the truth without being “perceived as helping Trump,” as he put it.

This is one of those places where I had to stop writing for a few minutes and go touch grass. Because it was either that or start doing shots on an empty stomach before taking my younger son to school.

Todd played a game with the public’s perceptions, a dangerous game involving the highest possible stakes. He referred to reporting on the two candidates as “some sort of zero-sum game.” But when Todd said to Morgan, “I certainly questioned whether he should run. You didn’t understand, you know, there were some of that. But I understand the argument about the collective on that front,” he completely missed the point. Whether that’s because he’s still obfuscating or because he simply has no clue what a reporter’s job is, I have no idea.

House votes to overturn Biden-era rule limiting bank overdraft fees to $5, sends to Trump to sign

The House voted Wednesday to overturn a rule that would have limited bank overdraft fees to $5, following the Senate in moving to dismantle the regulation that the Biden administration had estimated would save consumers billions of dollars.

The resolution killing the rule, which passed the House 217-211, will now head to the White House for President Donald Trump’s signature. Republicans argued that the “disastrous” regulation issued in the final days of President Joe Biden’s term would have forced banks to stop offering overdraft protection altogether and made it harder for Americans to access credit.

“Competition and innovation, not government-mandated price caps, remain the best way to ensure consumers have access to affordable financial products and services,” said Arkansas Rep. French Hill, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

Currently, the nation’s biggest banks take in roughly $8 billion in the charges every year, according to data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and bank public records. Right now, there is no cap on the overdraft fees that banks can legally charge.

Banks and banking groups had previously sued over the rule, arguing that it would have led to consumers leaning on worse, less-regulated services. Republicans voted to undo the regulation under the Congressional Review Act, a 1996 law that allows Congress to reverse recently adopted rules.

Biden Administration Concealed Congressionally Mandated Report on Earliest Suspected American COVID Cases

Seven Americans may have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan in October 2019, several months before the reported start of the pandemic, according to a bombshell military report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon that the Biden administration concealed from the public.

The December 2022 report, which the Biden administration was required by law to release to the public over two years ago but didn’t, reveals for the first time that seven U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19-like symptoms during or after their participation in the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019—contradicting the Biden administration’s public claims in 2021 that there was no evidence that any American participants contracted the virus at those games. The revelation adds to a mounting body of evidence that the virus was circulating in Wuhan for months before China disclosed it to the world in December 2019 and further bolsters the growing consensus that it could have leaked into the human population from a Chinese lab.

The 2022 National Defense Authorization Act required the Biden administration to make its report on the 2019 Wuhan World Military Games “publicly available on an internet website in a searchable format” by the summer of 2022. Though the Biden administration transmitted copies of the two-page report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees in December 2022, it didn’t see the light of day until sometime in late March when the Trump administration quietly uploaded it to a Defense Department website.

The potential COVID-19 illnesses from the American participants in the Wuhan World Military Games appear to have been a closely guarded secret of the Defense Department. Chinese authorities have suggested since as early as February 2020 that America could have unleashed COVID-19 into Wuhan through their participation in the World Military Games. Former Biden Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Post in June 2021 that the military had “no knowledge” of any COVID-19 infections among the troops that participated in those games.

The first Trump administration issued similar statements regarding the Wuhan games. In June 2020, the Pentagon told the Prospect that it did not test any of the American troops that participated in the games because they were held “prior to the reported outbreak.”

The games were held within close proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Chinese scientists, backed by U.S. taxpayer funds, conducted risky gain-of-function research on the same sort of bat coronaviruses that caused the pandemic. That research, which was supported by former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci, “almost certainly caused COVID-19,” Rutgers University professor of chemical biology Richard Ebright told the Free Beacon.

The American military athletes traveled to and from Wuhan via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to the Prospect, which noted that Washington was one of the earliest COVID-19 hotspots in the country.

Bombshell evidence shows Biden White House directly aided Jack Smith’s J6 probe

Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson published new emails from FBI whistleblowers showing that President Joe Biden’s then-Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su personally assisted the FBI in securing President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s cell phones to assist the nascent “Arctic Frost” investigation over January 6.

The new whistleblower emails also show that a future member of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team and an anti-Trump FBI agent were closely involved in the origins of the FBI probe. Operation Arctic Frost formed the basis of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s false elector case under which former President Donald Trump was later charged with a conspiracy to defraud the United States for his campaign’s attempts to assemble alternate slates of electors under claims that the 2020 election had been stolen.

The new emails are contained in a letter the senators sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel urging cooperation with their requests for all information related to the FBI probe.

“Overall, these newly disclosed emails show the extensive collaboration between and among select FBI agents from the Washington Field Office and prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Washington D.C. to plan, approve and execute Arctic Frost,” Grassley and Johnson wrote. “The emails also provide further support that ASAC Thibault played a central role in advancing its approval to a full field criminal investigation when other agents had concerns the supporting evidence only allowed for a preliminary investigation.”

“Lastly, the emails illustrate the Biden White House’s personal involvement in providing former President Trump and former Vice President Pence’s phones to the FBI at their request when neither of them was a subject of the investigation at that point in time,” they added.

The emails turned over to the committee by whistleblowers show that the U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Chief John Crabb emailed Su at the White House on May 2, 2022 and copied Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault.

“Jonathan, Would you please coordinate with Tim Thibault (who’s copied on this email) about picking up the telephones,” Crabb wrote.

“Thanks John. Tim, it is good to meet you, and please let me know what works for you in terms of timing the next couple days,” Su replied.

By May 4, other committee records show, the FBI had successfully obtained both President Trump and Vice President Pence’s official phones from the Biden White House, even though then-former President Trump had not yet become a criminal subject of the Arctic Frost probe.

The Myth of Biden’s “Roaring” Economy

Claims that President Trump inherited a thriving economy from President Biden are not just misleading—they’re dishonest. The Biden supporters measure economic “growth” from the lowest point of the COVID lockdowns in 2020, when businesses were shuttered and unemployment was artificially high. This makes even mediocre recovery look like booming progress. But if we compare Biden’s economy to 2019—the last full year before the pandemic—many key indicators show not a robust rebound but an economy weighed down by inflation, debt, and diminished purchasing power.

Real wages are down. From January 2021 to May 2024, average hourly earnings for private-sector workers fell by 2.24% when adjusted for inflation. Even broader comparisons with 2019 show only marginal gains. According to the House Budget Committee, inflation-adjusted household net worth was still down 4.7% as of early 2025. Meanwhile, inflation surged 15.5% cumulatively from January 2021 through December 2024, with a peak annual rate of 9.1% in June 2022—the highest in more than four decades. President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, along with the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act—two of the largest spending and money-creation programs in U.S. history—helped sustain inflationary pressure rather than curbing it.

Employment numbers tell a similarly deceptive story. Biden often boasts of adding 16.6 million jobs, but much of that reflects people simply returning to work after pandemic shutdowns. Job growth also leaned heavily on part-time and public-sector positions. Of the jobs Biden claims to have created, about half, 8.3 million were part-time, and 1.2 million were government jobs—positions effectively created by executive action, shifting money from taxpayers to government payrolls.

Americans were also borrowing more just to get by. Total household debt hit a record $17.9 trillion in the third quarter of 2024, up 26% from $14.15 trillion in 2019. Credit card debt alone exceeded $1.14 trillion, up nearly 15% when adjusted for inflation. Delinquencies have surged—9.1% of credit card accounts were delinquent as of Q3 2024, the highest rate since 2011. Auto repossessions rose by 23% in 2023, with an estimated 1.5–2 million vehicles repossessed, a jump from 1.3 million in 2019. Foreclosure activity followed a similar path: filings rose to 357,000 in 2023, still below the 493,000 in 2019 but climbing as post-pandemic protections ended.

The cost of living soared, especially in housing. Average mortgage payments doubled from $1,300 to $2,600 between 2021 and 2024, pushing many Americans out of homeownership, while rents rose 40%. At the same time, the personal savings rate fell to 4%—down from 7.5% in 2019—signaling that households were draining savings just to cover basic expenses.

Supporters of Biden’s economy often point to headline GDP numbers and international comparisons. In 2023, the U.S. posted a real GDP growth rate of 2.5%, outperforming peers like Japan (1.9%), Canada (1.1%), and the Euro area (0.5%). That resilience, however, is nothing new. In 2019, the U.S. grew at 2.3% while Germany grew just 1.1%. The U.S. economy has long outperformed other G7 nations thanks to a large consumer base, a dynamic private sector, and global tech leadership. Nominal GDP reached $27 trillion in 2023, dwarfing Japan’s $4.2 trillion and Germany’s $4.5 trillion. But these structural advantages are not new and cannot be credited to Biden. They are the result of decades of American economic dominance—not the product of any one administration’s policy.

US outpost not given proper air defenses before deadly attack

For three years the United States has been giving Ukraine everything it needs by way of offensive and defensive weapons in its war with Russia. Critically, this has included air defense systems, much of it taken from our own national stockpiles.

Now it turns out that our own troops may have been denied access to anti-drone air defense systems and more sophisticated radar detection months before a lethal attack on a small American outpost in Jordan on Jan. 18, 2024. The drone assault, reportedly launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iranian-backed militia group, resulted in the deaths of three American Army soldiers.

According to the Washington Post, which obtained access to the massive Army internal investigation of the incident through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the small outpost was ill-prepared for the attack on a number of levels. But this is key:

The investigation’s findings appear to have some contradictions. For instance, investigators faulted Tower 22’s leaders for failing to “visualize risk” and not appreciating the likelihood of an attack.

Yet commanders above them also failed to envision the base’s vulnerability. Four months before the attack, Army Central, which oversees operations throughout the Middle East, denied a request for an air defense system capable of shooting down drones because, investigators found, only one such system was available and troops in the United States needed it to prepare for deployments. A request for a radar system that could better detect drones also was denied, the report said.

The only counter-drone defenses at Tower 22 were electronic warfare systems designed to disable the aircraft or disrupt their path to a target, according to the investigation and previous reporting by The Post.

A spokesperson for Army Central did not respond to repeated requests for additional information, including regarding who at Army Central denied Tower 22’s appeal for an air defense system.

REPORT: George Clooney Exploded on MSNBC Producer After Being Exposed as Useful Idiot for Getting Biden Out of 2024 Race

Actor George Clooney was reportedly furious with MSNBC last year after Morning Joe connected the dots between Obama and his op-ed calling for Joe Biden to get out of the 2024 race.

Clooney’s op-ed kicked off a revolt by major Democrat donors who decided to withhold donations to the party unless Biden stepped aside, so in the end, Clooney’s strategy worked as intended.

What was he so angry about? Being exposed as a useful idiot, maybe?

FOX News reports:

George Clooney exploded on MSNBC producer after Mika Brzezinski linked Obama to dramatic Biden op-ed: report

Actor George Clooney reportedly lost his temper on an MSNBC producer working on “Morning Joe” after host Mika Brzezinski suggested that former President Barack Obama may have influenced Clooney to write his New York Times op-ed on former President Joe Biden…

The explosive confrontation between an unnamed MSNBC producer and Clooney was revealed by Biden biographer Chris Whipple in his forthcoming book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History.”

The “Morning Joe” segment that led to Clooney losing his cool featured Brzezinski suggesting that Obama may have been behind the actor’s NYT op-ed calling for Biden to bow out of the 2024 presidential race.

“This wasn’t George Clooney,” Brzezinski claimed, later adding: “I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence.”

These claims led to Clooney calling a producer for the show in a rage, according to Whipple’s account.

“How the f— could you let her link me with Barack Obama saying he made me write the op-ed?” Clooney allegedly shouted at the “Morning Joe” producer.

Touchy! Touchy!

Biden’s White House doctor will be grilled by Congress over ‘cognitive decline,’ reveals lawmaker

A Republican lawmaker revealed Joe Biden‘s White House doctor will be grilled by Congress over the former president’s cognitive health. 

Republicans and some Democrats have long called for the truth behind what they claim is a cognitive decline in the 82-year-old during his presidency. 

Now, Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, who has a medical degree, said Dr. Kevin O’Connor will have to speak for the Democrat leader’s health. 

‘Dr. Kevin O’Connor will absolutely, positively be implicated in the cover-up of this,’ Jackson told the New York Post. ‘I guarantee you Kevin O’Connor has medical information that the American people don’t have. 

‘I’ve known him for a long time; he’s part of the Biden family. He would do or say anything to cover up and protect that family, regardless of what it meant professionally for him,’ the GOP representative accused. 

‘This could not have been covered up without him – and Jill Biden – in particular.’ 

O’Connor had previously said the then-president’s health was ‘excellent’ and there was nothing to worry about just days before Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. 

Many Americans and lawmakers, like Jackson, were also suspicious of Dr. Kevin Cannard eight visits to the White House between July 2023 and March 2024. Cannard specializes in Parkinson’s at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Biden Family’s Latest Driving Scandal Reveals Pattern of Reckless Entitlement

When most families pass down traditions, it’s cherished recipes or holiday customs. The Biden family seems to pass down a different tradition: reckless driving records and get-out-of-jail-free cards. Just when you thought the Biden crime family couldn’t be more brazen in their disregard for laws that apply to the rest of us, another family member has joined their infamous driving hall of shame. This time, it’s Sara Biden, sister-in-law to the former president, who apparently believes that rural Maryland roads are her personal Daytona 500 track. Honestly, I’m not even surprised anymore – are you?

From ‘Daily Mail’:

DailyMail.com can reveal Joe’s sister-in-law Sara Biden, 65, was caught driving almost 100mph in a 50mph zone on a Maryland country road on the morning of February 16, 2024. Records show Sara, the wife of Joe’s brother Jim Biden, was driving her black 2023 Jeep Rubicon at 96mph down Route 33 near Leehaven Road at 9:30am.

Sara Biden was caught driving NINETY-SIX miles per hour in a fifty-mile-per-hour zone. That’s not just speeding – that’s practically taking flight in a nearly two-ton metal missile on a rural country road with a single lane in each direction. Any parent, grandparent, or child could have been sharing that road that morning. But apparently, the Biden family considers themselves immune to both physics and consequences. I’m absolutely stunned by the recklessness – though at this point, should any of us be surprised?

Of course, when you’re connected to the Biden name, the rules magically become flexible. According to court records, Sara ended up pleading guilty to a lesser offense of speeding at a mere 60mph and was ordered to undergo a “driver improvement program.” I don’t know about you, but if I were caught driving at nearly double the speed limit, I doubt I’d get such a gentle slap on the wrist. Must be nice to have those Biden connections when the blue lights flash in your rearview mirror.
