As we reported earlier, current and former officials did report intelligence was collected from several sensitive military sites, despite what the Biden team told us.

Two current and one former senior US administration officials told NBC News that the Chinese were able to collect information from some key locations. They even said the balloon was able to make multiple passes over some of the sites, at times flying figure-eight formations, and sending the information back to Beijing in real-time, without being stopped by the Biden administration.

But as we noted, the Biden administration claimed that they had blocked the Chinese from collecting intelligence and the media lapdogs were happy to spew out the lie.

Here’s CNN’s Jim Sciutto just happy to sling the talking points.

Notable: US officials say they were able to block the balloon from gathering intel during its overflight of the US, while the US military was able to turn the tables, so to speak, to gather intel on the balloon itself and its equipment.

Then there’s this Yahoo columnist.

Shows how dumb all the “SHOOT IT DOWN NOW” Republicans are

Huh? Intel? Wut?

Yeah, it’s the Republicans who are dumb. How’d that tweet age?

Sometimes a balloon is just…a balloon.

And sometimes it’s not.

Then there were the Democrats doing their best to claim this was a nothing-burger, like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).

Maybe you might want to rethink that, Sen. Murphy.

I noted earlier the preposterous comments that Joe Biden made at the time, that it wasn’t a “major breach” and essentially dismissing it with the general comment that amounted to “everyone spies.” Yes, Joe, it’s so cool when you let them fly over our country and allow them to do figure-eights over several of our sensitive military locations, potentially hear critical conversations and get weapons information. I’m thinking that’s just a little bit different than what you can get from a satellite. So did those officials who leaked this information or they wouldn’t have told us about it.

But he didn’t just downplay it, there’s more. Here he is explicitly lying about it himself, saying they were able to “protect sensitive sites from the collection” when he already had to have been advised what they were doing over the bases.

Biden, February 16: “We were able to protect sensitive sites against collection."

“Because we knew its path.” Heck, you knew its path even before it hit American airspace, as I noted in February. Yet, we were again lied to even about that, and some are still parroting we only found out about the ballon and its path when it neared Alaska, when in fact we were tracking it for a week, according to CBS. We were told initially they “didn’t have time” to shoot it down. Then we were told they couldn’t shoot it down without “hostile intent.” The story kept evolving.

No one with a working brain cell believed that story. Just some media and Democrats.

This raises, once again, all kinds of questions about Biden being compromised and/or too dishonest to be trusted.

It’s disturbing when he’s lying about his ethnicity. It’s disturbing when he lies about being a civil rights activist. It’s disturbing when he lies about being a truck driver.

But this is national security and he’s lying right to our faces. They’ve told multiple lies here in this evolving story. This is incredibly concerning and Congress needs to hold Biden accountable because this is endangering us all.
