Why did Trump let the 3 Chinese Balloons fly over without doing or saying anything? hint pee pee

Steele dossier claimed Trump's "corrupt" ties to China were "more extensive" than his ties to Moscow

aka Donald Trump owes China tons of money. (Remember Trump had Kush-Turd and Pompeo ship almost 20
tons of PPE to China in late winter of 2020 and that spread the disease and sicken and or killed thousands of
Americans)

Trump had called that press conference to dispel an explosive report about a dossier of opposition research, which alleged extensive financial and business ties to Russia, as well as election coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele, the dossier also indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have compromising blackmail on Trump, in the form of a salacious video that quickly became known as the "pee tape."

It also included short passages about Trump's relationship with China, which did not receive as much attention. In the dossier, Steele wrote that the Trump campaign was "relatively relaxed" about the alleged ties between Trump and Russia, because they "deflected media and the Democrats' attention away from Trump's business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved the payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign."

A source "close to Trump and [his former campaign manager Paul] Manafort" told Steele that "Republican campaign team happy to have Russia as media bogeyman to mask more extensive corrupt business ties to China and other emerging countries," according to the dossier.

The Trump company that controls the Chinese bank account spiked in 2017, the president's first year in office, to around $17.5 million — more than the previous five years' combined, according to The Times. The president withdrew $15.1 million from the company's account that year, reporting it in his financial disclosure as "management fees and other contract payments."

Trump had sought trademarks in Hong Kong and mainland China since 2006, not always successfully; his daughter, Ivanka, scored a number of Chinese trademarks for her personal brand after she joined the administration in 2017.

Day are getting longer it is now past 6 pm and it is still light out (twilight)

Today's daylight is as long as November the 5th. (about)

It has been 46 days since the shortest day of the year, 12/21.

For those that care we have had 10 days of December (21st to the 31st), 31 days of January, and now 5 days
of February and so 10 + 31 + 5 = 46.

If you take Dec. 21 and then counting backwards 46 days puts us at a daylight length of 11/5. If you live around Great
Horned or Barred owls you might be hearing them hoot now as their young are being born now. And where I live in
Central OH even if the temp is < 32 degrees F if it is sunny the snow still melts because the angle of the snow is getting
higher in the sky.

1st video footage of "the balloon"

February 4, 2023

President Biden is getting the best advice in the world about the Chinese Balloon

And what ever he does or does not do is fine by me. He is very good at his job and has earned
my trust. I'm sure he is getting input from the Pentagon, the CIA, and the State Department and
they know more about "things" then all these "right wing quack jockeys" combined." It could be
some might want the balloon to stay around so we can study it.

As per me I'm going to make some coffee.

BTW we are hearing more about that balloon then we have ever heard about McGonigal who helped
to throw the 2016 election to Trump as he was being paid off by Putin. "Liberal Media"

Did Canada's Groundhog Day Groundhog freeze to death? Sudden death of Quebec's Fred la marmotte.

Sudden death of Quebec's Fred la marmotte casts a shadow on Groundhog Day

Fred la marmotte, the province's famous furry oracle in Val-d'Espoir, Que., was found dead overnight Thursday, hours before he was able to predict whether it would be an early or late spring.

The organizer of Thursday's Groundhog Day event in Val-d'Espoir announced the sombre news following some 40 minutes of festivities, including music and dancing.

"In life, the only thing that's certain is that nothing is certain," said a serious Roberto Blondin in front of a crowd of awaiting spectators.

"Well, this year it's true. It's true and it's unfortunate. I announce to you the death of Fred."

Blondin said he found the lifeless animal overnight when he tried to wake him. He said he had "no vital signs" and figures Fred passed away in late fall or early December, during hibernation, at the age of nine years old.
