China has launched dozens of satellites in the past six months and the People's Liberation Army now has 347 orbiting craft that can gather intelligence on American armed forces, according to the head of the U.S. Space Force.
Gen. Chance Saltzman told senators that Beijing was the 'most immediate threat' to U.S. operations as it develops lasers to disrupt satellite sensors, electronic warfare jammers and even builds craft that could grab and move rival orbiting platforms out of position.
It is all part of its plan for a fully modernized, world-class military designed to achieve China's 'Space Dream' of being the most powerful nation in space by 2045,

And our government is giving lectures on gender bender rights and nonsense pronoun usage to our military, medical, and scientific communities. What could go wrong?

We have no one to blame but ourselves for this escalation.

They probably have pictures of me and my dog Sofie walking in my backyard. Somehow that doesn't bother me.

Yep. It was only a matter of time...a resource we seem to be running out of in spades!

They are programmed to target pride flags, so our government is pretty much over.

Beijing Bill Clinton mega donor Bernard Schwartz made the China space program successful.
The communists could not get a rocket off the ground till good old Bernie gave them the know how.
God only knows what Clinton received for selling out America for money.
Democrats are a plague on our country.

By now it is clear to any who look: Xi is preparing as quickly and as thoroughly as he can to "go for it".
The balloon is going up and when it does, Pearl Harbor will pale in comparison.

This looks like preparation for war. Their tempo is quickening and they have stolen our best weapon system designs in every area. This is no joking matter. The Chinese appear to be prepping to deliver a knockout blow.

China is at war with us and has killed over a million people with their bioterrorism weapon, and we do NOTHING about it.
Well, except for funding it.

My concern back in the early 2000's was the number of dual citizenship Chicoms working for aerospace corporations in the "commercial" divisions. I knew back there was military technology next door and I bet they still are there. And more blatant are the dimbulbs running universities with DOD research grants that allow Chicoms near the development. As a professor told our son, you can tell when a Chicom student graduates because they download everything they can on university servers using friends logins they stole just before they get their degree and privileges terminated.

So is the US Military and the Chinese technology will be found to be remarkably similar to ours.

Joe Biden is bought and paid for by Communist China.

Read an article today on - Citizen Free Press - entitled, "Air Force Hiring Diversity Officers for Big Money". I question why they can't find candidates for these positions within their own ranks, though those people might still believe that promotion should be based on merit rather than quotas. The priorities of this administration continue to confuse. Within article is a video of Neil Cavuto interviewing Bernie Marcus, Former CEO of Home Depot. Listening to Marcus' old-school wisdom, you can understand why he was such a successful businessman.

Here's a little humor for you this morning...remember the comedy team of Laurel and Hardy...one was chubby and thought he knew everything and the second was a whimp who scratched his head and whined...remember...well...I decided that WE can assign parts to our comedy team...obama and biden....or perhaps milk toast milley and Austin...when it comes to defense of our country....now that's funny!!

Meanwhile, our Pentagon has abandoned all our equipment in Afghanistan or sent it to Ukraine for sale by them to Iran. The U.S. is sending billions for Ukraine pensions, a country where the average life expectancy must be very low, and getting lower every day. If we do have to defend ourselves in space, we will have to rely on Elon Musk, as the government seems incapable of getting anything done. Our Pentagon is mostly focused on climate, equity, diversity, and managing Democrat slush funds for voter registration, and getting Trump. I believe getting Trump takes up 10% of the Pentagon budget.

More evidence that the Chinese balloons were just 'click bait' to distract us from other important things. Surveillance balloons went out when space tech came in..
BTW: what are they doing with those 400,000 acres the Chinese bought in our mid-west?

If China wants to spy on us, we should by all means, send them a message.

Did they steal the idea from the Clint Eastwood movie "Space Cowboys" about hiding space weapons???
