I woke up this morning with a few more points that I should have made.

1) At any given time the USA has 8-10 high altitude surveillance balloons in the air over the the USA spying on us. They have extremely sophisticated optical and communications systems on board. This is fact. Ours are more elongated, and are typically at the flight levels 70-90 (70,000' - 90,000'). Well above commercial flight levels.

2) The balloon spotted over Latin America is most likely of US origin.

3) It is highly likely that the US is using the Chinese balloon incident as a distraction. Slight of hand. Perhaps to change the narrative in the news cycle. As I mentioned in the previous note, they let it over fly the continent.

Whats really concerning is this morning on my homepage there's nothing about the balloon anymore. This should be headline news for days until we have answers and not these fabricated ones but real ones. This is complete BS saying they didn't want to shoot it down over MT, SD or ND because of fear of civilian life. Yet many believe this.?‍♂ Like you said earlier Tony this was caught when it was thousands of miles from our shores and should've been intercepted there. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark! It's really scary how the media can control/influence some people.

They could have easily taken it down as it entered US airspace over the Pacific. We have interceptors at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage and on the west coast. They would have been on it 5-10 minutes.

i get annoyed we have to file or do taxes at all. im not saying we should not pay a tax. im saying the irs is huge. they apparently know exactly what we owe or dont cause if we make a mistake on the filing we for sure find out from them. why cant the irs just tell us the exact amount to pay in or the amount of return? then we could get rid of 1/3 of wasted money expanding the irs and not have to %$# with doing tax filing and learning what hoops to jump. it could be so simple, have a coke and a smile and go on with life.

That's exactly why. Makes sense, would reduce waste and the size of government.
