Senators to be briefed on Chinese balloon next week, Schumer says
by Stephen Neukam - 02/05/23 2:44 PM ET

Senators on Feb. 15 will receive a classified briefing on the Chinese balloon that was shot down by the U.S. military, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), which will also include information on how the U.S. stacks up against China militarily.

The briefing for all 50 senators comes after some lawmakers in recent days called on the Biden administration for more details on the matter. Republicans spent the week criticizing Biden for not taking the balloon down sooner, allowing it to fly over much of the United States before it was shot down over South Carolina. But Schumer defended the administration’s decision.

“Republican critics were breathless, political, and premature,” Schumer said at a press conference in New York on Sunday. “President Biden and his team were calm, calculating, and effective.”

No, Biden and his team were impotent.

What is the gospel? I’ll put it in a sentence.
The gospel is the news that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over all his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
That’s the gospel. (John Piper)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe they need the extra time to make sure all the potential whistleblowers have "suicided" themselves.

With that much time, they can write the "War and Peace" version of balloon-related BS.
