Biden and the Popped Balloon
In what I believe was among the gutsiest calls made by any president since May 2, 2011, President Joe Biden gave the go-ahead to down a Chinese balloon that may well have been en route to spy on the Atlantic Ocean. I tend to admire Roosevelt (the cool one) and the “speak quietly and carry a big stick” crowd, but it’s hard to blame the White House. They deserve to trumpet the Big Guy’s decisive actions.
It’s understated, and as I said, they deserve it, but I was thinking they (especially the President!) deserve a lot more. This is a huge moment in the history of American Presidents. I bet _orrest McDonald wishes he were alive today. I wanted to start a Go-_und me page, but the Doby pups knocked the computer down to the carpeted thing, and a letter on my keyboard stopped working.
The long and the short about it is that I can’t type the right address into Google to bring up the Go-_und me site without that letter. I was hoping someone would do it as a helper since I can’t. I think we can raise enough (phew) money to put up some sorta monument as a reminder to later generations that we had a President that understood how to tell other countries “don’t mess with” him (I sent an email to the White House about permission to use that line on the monument — hand digits crossed.)
We need something that suitably captures the majesty about the moment and that serves as a warning to other countries, something that leaves them no doubt about our resolve. I was thinking something like this.
_itting, right? Downtown Dover?
In addition to the Go-_und me, I was thinking we could ask about items people might donate and hold an auction. I’ve sent an email to Hunter about giving a painting or two and another to the Taliban to see whether they are done with all those trucks and guns (we’d remove the _iring pins pre-auction obs) Joe gave them because I thought they would make someone a nice souvenir about the Biden Presidency. Can you imagine a better conversation piece? Still, we’re going to need a lot more goods.
Anyway, this is just me spitballing so I’m wide open to suggestions. Let’s go, Biden!

I kept looking for “__uck Joe Biden”.
I heard that the Chinese Spy Balloon went fine though the US with no issue from Biden. It was only when he found out it was heading to Ukraine that he had the US military destroy it after it left the States.
Is it okay if I “Like” and _ollow this post?
And if Biden didn’t take the balloon out behind the barn and beat it up, it doesn’t count.
Doggone _unny!
At first glance, I read the title as “Biden and the Pooped Balloon.”
It may be futile to close the barn door after the horses are stolen but if you slam the door hard when you close it, that will really show ’em.
The Secret Service reports that Biden went out on his front porch and fired his shotgun into the air.
I wonder how the plans for the Biden Presidential Library are going. Will they sell balloons in the gift shop.
The Trump Presidential Library will sell them. It will have a fantastic gift shop!
Best ever.
