  1. MEET NBCS CENSORED PRESS! If the news doesnt fit their agenda they will suppress the story. A pathetic excuse for a news source. More like a socialist news program.

  2. Trump would not have let this happen

  3. 🇦🇲prayers for the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey….. 🙏🙏🙏

  4. Trump right again, his sealed letter to the US house which was read on the house floor on Jan 6th right after noon youtu.be/GAFV-uQX4xY

  5. WHY DO WE ALLOW CHINESE COMPANIES TO BUY ASSETS IN THE US….WHO IS GETTING PAID OFF?

  6. We should have shot it down In Montana. I think most Americans would agree.

  7. And if China was smart they would have had something attached so that when they shot it down over the ocean it could swim it right back to them it's very possible that could be why they cannot find the payload

  8. They just need to consider it as if they got any and all information including phone calls emails just considerate that they got all of it

  9. THAT EARTH QUAKE IS MAN DESIGNED JUST AS THE ONES ON HAITI 🇭🇹 AND INDONESIA 🇮🇩, IS ALL AI IN ACTOON,but then like many other things my thinking is conspiracy theories. Well when something simular happens to one of the offspring of the Roman empire like Israel Britton, the USA or Canada Just to name a few I will accepts they are all natural, but until then te great conspiracy of satanic demons are on full reign.

  10. REPORT THE HUNTER LAPTOP CRIMES.

  11. Allowing Tiktok on any app store is a very bad idea. TikTok is nothing but a spy mechanism. I don't use it and will never open any Tiktok videos

  12. I wonder how China knew where to fly, Donald?

  13. God forbid these republicans say anything about the balloons when TFG was in office. 🤦🏼‍♀️

  14. With all the monies spent on defense annually, this balloon should never happen. The fact that China used a White balloon either shows how brazen or necessary to implement the technologies onboard. We can never let down our guard when it comes to China. We lost the race on 5G technology, but meanwhile, we allowed our telecommunications companies to get away with advertising and cashing in on a system/technology they do not have because of the greed of our politicians. I bet there are Chinese agents in extremely sensitive areas of our defense, effectively transmitting data through the antennae on that balloon. I am beginning to believe that Covid is an intentionally orchestrated plaque meant to disrupt the West with mass population extinction; they did not count on getting people in mainland China infected. We must discern a lot about the virus when China closed down a whole city. It means we don't know half of the Covid19 anecdote.

  15. wow, should we be changing our passwords to our bank accounts then?!? If they scooped up people trying to get into their accounts, they are f'ed.

  16. Ya, let's distract with silly sly balloons now and not issues that the average American needs. Just minor things like healthcare costs, wages, benefits, social security, Medicare, union busting, corporate welfare, taxes…on and on.

    But let's go on about balloons.

  17. We are being played like a fiddle by intel and media. The balloon was said it couldn’t be shot down by aircraft because it was to high at 60000 feet. Then it is shot down at 60000 feet. Believe nothing. Alaska and Montana are too densely populated to shoot down the balloon? This is pitiful.

  18. I wondering what Canada thinks about all of this balloon stuff as it did pass over some of their territory too.

  19. And you agree with that black man. Because you just said you do.. Said very, very sad And you politicians swear you know, No what you are doing.. Sherry's in googles.. Listen to this guy American people. For what you just said and you agree to you should step down. As a black man. One more thing I will not be going to Myrtle Beach no more no sir no. You did a really good job by shooting it down before it pass America. I'm just playing are you serious Mr. President you wait until it past America and you shoot it down. you should step down sleepy Joe. Are you and your son are you guy really close friends with the president of China.. Tell us we need to know as American people. Don't betray us. Because Donald Trump did say that when you was running to be the president. And now you are our president of United States of America. I love my country I wouldn't want to be nowhere else in the world but in America. This doesn't look good on you Mr. President I'm really disappointed in you that you did not shoot it down before it entered America. This is only my opinion and my Opinion doesn't count

  20. Ballooning was such a bologna pun to use come on

  21. So what are you talking about are you with sleepy Joe

  22. The appropriate time was to shoot it down before it left Canada

  23. I've been in a lot of earthquakes. Nothing stronger than a 6.4 but a lot. People in general, including Hollywood, imagine and even depict what they would do in an earthquake, but without that experience you really have no idea.

    Most earthquakes, by far, you're mostly worried about your stuff falling over, breaking, stuff falling on other stuff, especially fragile stuff, so my precious Fender Stratocaster for example, it's on a stand which I bought deliberately because there's no way that's going to fall down or the guitar is going jump off the stand as it bounces around.

    You never imagine the building could collapse, even a little, and even if it does, it's not like a fire where you have time to escape. Worst earthquake, you're going to basically 'duck and cover' under a table or something. Even after you see something like what happened in Turkey and Syria, it's not so much doubting that could ever happen to you as basically trusting you live in a society which will do its best to bring everything back to normal, and better prepare for the next time.

    These days, that's world society. When 9/11 happened, people around the world said that day we were all Americans. Well let's say today that we are all Turks and Syrians, and let's do our best to help our friends and neighbors there, drop all animosity, politics, economics, and hostilities.

    Regardless of how rich and powerful your country, state, or city is, a catastrophe of this magnitude will happen. And when it does, it's inappropriate for others to say, "You deserved it."

  24. I'm saying May God bless Our Worled And America or USA.

  25. They have precedents against freedom of speech and publishing in the abortion ruling and concealed weapons permit ruling. We are too apathetic to complain in criminal court about impeachable decisions beyond a reasonable doubt.

  26. E coli genetic inserts epidemics are biological weapons technology and it is not necessary to create a deadly bacteria to produce insulin. We don't have a regulatory agency that imposes boundaries for genetic engineering production.

  27. We have to absolutely stop E coli genetic inserts for insulin and other biological molecules. It is possible to do the same thing with a less dangerous bacteria.

  28. They really need Edison generators made from car generator chisel to spin like Edison and inverters added to have house current for cooking heat and light. They cost 300 dollars retail cost.

  29. Over the weeks raising conspiracy issue on the china surveillance ballon flies over America. Ynot has a analytical drawing on the spyballon gadgets installation fr the world to understand in depth

  30. Then let's send one over to them ??? and was the Freak George Satoes on that same Committee ?? I say Yes and of all People, he should never be there

  31. Recording and speaking the truth is not illegal Klan

  32. But you wonder why all these woman prostitute and dont have a moral bone in there body

  33. They always doing something to accuse me of there bs i don't expect nothing different from anyone besides weapons in my face getting shot Fighting for my life and kids life and targeted and setup by everyone

  34. if it ends in A singularly, add E to pluralize and BAM you get ANTENNAE

  35. China is not as advanced as other nations. They're still living and operating in the pre internet days. That's why it was so easy to slip under the radar.

    Imagine waking up and having to write a letter or use a rotary dial phone in 2023.

  36. 1. China is terrified.
    2. James Comer (cnn interview) was mentioning biological weapons…..which would have been an act of war.
    3. Keep Comer off the air…because he wasn't just asking questions…he was stoking fear amongst his Audience.
    4. Its time to not only recognize but for responsible journalists to come forth and call em out.

    DONT BE MISTAKEN. THEY ARE SCARED.

  37. Whatever happened to the pilot projects we saw at the turn of the millenium, using rats and cockroaches, in addition to dogs, to find survivors? Have we been using rats and cockroaches, along with dogs, since then?

  38. Excellent commentary and program, as always.

  39. It is not much of a concern for the Medea or military to scuttle a nuclear battle ship in the Gulf of Alaska deliberately.

  40. ~~ The information that I am Getting ~~
    ~~ Is that Trump Let ~~ [ 3 ] Such Balloons Fly Over the United States wile He was in Office, Maybe he was just to Busy Golfing to Notice Them ..

  41. Don't we spy on China and other countries as well?

  42. How many have we used weather balloons in the world 🌍. When did anyone shoot down our research. .

  43. One thing they can do? Pray…

  44. Trump gave them the routes to take.
