This Chinese spy balloon thing is pure absurdity

Do you remember during the Trump administration when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States that people could look up and see even with the naked eye, and that a media that hated Donald Trump wasn’t reporting? I don’t remember that, either, because it didn’t happen.

Of course we don’t need Tucker to tell us that, but here’s his take on the Biden administration’s response to a Chinese military aircraft casually floating over the entire United States. And, as we’ve come to expect from the liberal media’s track record, Trumpety-Trump-Trump-Trump on a Trump cracker with Trump sauce. Highlights include:

“By last Wednesday, February 1, it was spotted by civilians in the skies over southern Montana. A man staring out of of the window of an office building in Billings saw what he thought was a UFO. It was too small to be a moon, he said, and so he began to take pictures, which soon appeared on social media, and then almost immediately the airspace over Billings, over the entire town was shut down.

So it was at this point, when the existence of an unauthorized Chinese military aircraft over the continental United States became impossible to hide or deny, at that point, officials around Joe Biden finally decided to tell him about it. Now, we don’t know Joe Biden’s reaction to this news, but we do know his response. Biden did nothing.”

“So, the balloon shut down the airspace over Billings, Montana, including the airport, and as it moved east, commercial pilots said they were afraid of it, they were afraid of hitting it, so it’s funny to see the transportation secretary who’s in charge of all of this tell us it posed no threat … no threat to transportation. But the best is the dismissal of anyone who has concerns. It’s the Republicans again with their moonshine and their shotguns and extra chromosomes, thinking it’s okay to shoot down Chinese spy balloons, when every sophisticated person knows, Donald Trump himself knew, the best way to handle Chinese spy balloons, let them pass.”

“’Do you remember during the Trump administration when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States that people could look up and see even with the naked eye, and that a media that hated Donald Trump wasn’t reporting? I don’t remember that, either, because it didn’t happen.’ It didn’t happen, said the former Director of National Intelligence, and you can see why he thinks that.”

“Speaking on background to its shills in the media, unnamed officials explained that these Chinese spy flights were actually never reported to President Trump, or the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, or even to the secretary of defense. Why weren’t they reported? Because they weren’t important enough. They were ‘relatively minor territorial incursions’. Okay, so a Chinese military aircraft hovering over Texas, more than 1000 miles from the Pacific Ocean, is a ‘minor territorial incursion’… That’s what they said. It’s pure absurdity.”

“So, once again, the people who owe you the truth are lying to you, so all tonight we know for certainty is that the Chinese military just flew an aircraft that reportedly contained explosives over the entire length of the United States and got away with it. That seems like a bad precedent.”

Tucker: Where’s the Christian concern?

I’m only suggesting that one factor that Christians use to assess the behavior of their government and other governments ought to be the treatment of Christians. It ought to be, why is it not?

Tucker questions why American churches seem to have little concern for or knowledge of what’s happening to their fellow Christians around the world. Highlights include:

“Christians can absolutely get it wrong, and do. They can follow the wrong path, they can be mistaken, they can be silly and profane, they can commit the worst sins imaginable, but the one thing they cannot do is be afraid, period. And so, boldness… is not just this added extra, it’s a baseline requirement for following the gospel, and if you’re not doing that, you’re not doing it right. So, that’s the first thing, don’t be afraid. The second thing I notice in reading Paul’s letters is his deep concern for his fellow Christians.”

“I’m only suggesting that one factor that Christians use to assess the behavior of their government and other governments ought to be the treatment of Christians. It ought to be, why is it not?”

“We’re funding the Islamists who are killing the Christians – did anyone know that? No, of course not, churches never talk about it, that’s true. Are we for that? I’m not for that… Why doesn’t somebody stand up and say, ‘Wait a second, we’re funding the killing of Christians? No, I’m a Christian, I’m against that.”

“The conflict between Russia and Ukraine? Super complicated. I don’t think there’s an easy answer, I don’t think there’s a ‘good guy’ and a ‘bad guy’… and the more I learn about it, the more I’m confused. I’m certainly not endorsing Russia… But, one of the guides that we as Christians should use to assess that situation is, how do Christians fare in those countries? It’s totally legitimate to ask that question. Is it easier to be a Christian in Russia or Ukraine?”

“One of those countries just arrested a bunch of priests and shut down churches with political police and the army. It wasn’t Russia. I raised that question at a Christian gathering, people scowled at me. Really? They’re arresting priests? I don’t need to know more.”

Tucker: Viktor Orbán on Ukraine, Russia and Hungary

If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia.

Published

Tucker and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán talk about the war in Ukraine, how Americans are being lied to about it, and about Hungary’s success as a nation. Highlights include:

“As the war in Ukraine completely reshuffles the world order and threatens to destroy human civilization, it’s striking just how little information Americans are receiving about what happens there. The nation of Hungary shares a border with Ukraine. Its leader, Viktor Orbán, the nation’s longest serving Prime Minister, has been dealing with the Russians all of his life. He grew up under Russian occupation. As a young man, he was arrested and thrown in to jail by Russian-backed police for his efforts to liberate the country. In his Prime Ministry, he’s dealt regularly with Vladimir Putin, whose nation supplies Hungary with most of its energy. Viktor Orbán understands Russian and Ukraine. So, two years after we last spoke to him, we returned to Hungry to sit down with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and ask him, what exactly is happening in Ukraine right now?

“When you speak on politics in Russian … the number one issue, how to keep together the country… Freedom is just another issue, second, third, whatever. First, keep the country together, and that’s generated a different kind of culture and understanding of politics. That’s creating a kind of military approach, like they have.”

Trending on PolitiCrossing.com: Tucker: Where’s the Christian concern?

“They will not kill their leader, they will never give it up, they will keep together the country [sic] and they will defend it. We finance more, they will invest more. If we send more technical equipment, they will produce more. So, don’t misunderstand the Russians.

“Now, Putin is in power for long, long years [sic]. We forgot about how dangerous when there is no strong leadership or interregnum in Russian. The interregnum is the worst case possible… If this is the goal, it’s a mistake. It’s more than dangerous.

“If any western country would send any boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the west and Russia, and we are in a third world war immediately, so it’s a very dangerous moment now.

“Ideology is a very difficult thing, because it has an exclusivity. So, when the liberal says that this is the interpretation of society, it means that this is the only way to interpret a society. If you do differently, you cannot be a good man. So, we have another interpretation, we have a Christian and national, more traditional interpretation of human being and society, but they can’t accept it because it’s different.

“If you ask anybody on the street that any Hungarian leader who is elected freely can be a puppet of Putin or the Russians, they say it’s a joke, it’s impossible, because we are a sovereign country, and even to the Russians we deliver many times that we are sovereign.”
