Possibly an EMP delivery balloon?-----HOW DO WE KNOW IT’S A SPY BALLOON?
Instapundit--HOW DO WE KNOW IT’S A SPY BALLOON?
Pentagon Says It Detected a Chinese Spy Balloon Hovering Over Montana.
The United States has detected what it says is a Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northwestern United States, the Pentagon said on Thursday, a discovery that comes days before Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken’s visit to Beijing.
President Biden has chosen, for now, not to shoot down the balloon after a recommendation from Pentagon officials that doing so would risk debris hitting people on the ground, according to a senior defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Well, that’s absurd. A balloon won’t produce much debris, and there aren’t many people on the ground in that part of the United States. Unless the balloon contained something more dangerous than cameras.--Posted by

Democrat-Massachusetts bill would allow prisoners to 'donate' their organs in exchange for freedom - American Thinker
Massachusetts bill would allow prisoners to 'donate' their organs in exchange for freedom - American Thinker - By Olivia Murray
"There is a certain demographic that appears to be on an organized mission to show the rest of us just how immoral and backward its philosophies really are.
- Most notably, these ideologues salivate over unfettered abortion, even to the point when the act becomes definable as "infanticide," and they continue to push the envelope regarding "transgender" sex-change mutilations of children, even prepubescent ones.
Think they can't possibly commoditize human life more? Think again — the metaphorical "hold my beer" seems appropriate. From an article published yesterday at Boston.com:
Newly proposed legislation would allow incarcerated people in Massachusetts to trade one precious commodity, donated organs, for another: Time.

Democrats seek to prolong the COVID-19 health emergency - TheBlaze:

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital in a statement that "Iran’s growing presence in the Western Hemisphere should come as no surprise as the Biden Administration has a history of appeasement and engaging with authoritarian regimes.
