Update: It’s done. Joe Biden ordered the Pentagon to shoot down the CCP spy balloon on Wednesday. They obeyed his order today, shooting it down while it was over the Atlantic Ocean to prevent any debris falling on people.
Here’s Chad Caton from Red Voice Media catching it live:

Original Story: It sounds like the Biden-Harris regime is planning to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. They appear poised to down the Chinese spy balloon currently crossing the United States AFTER it’s done what it was supposed to do.
Whatever it was surveilling, it’s safe to assume the data has already been transmitted to the CCP. According to the Associated Press:

This jibes with reports that they are shutting down airports on the coast:

He had said earlier that he’s “going to take care of it.” According to NBC News:
Asked by a reporter if the U.S. will shoot down the balloon as he deplaned Air Force Once, Biden said, “We’re gonna take care of it.” It was the first time Biden had spoken on camera about the balloon and he did not say how his administration plans to take care of it.
At this point if he shoots it down, he looks like an idiot for waiting. If he doesn’t shoot it down he looks like a Beijing puppet and a coward. No matter what happens, this is a another win for Xi Jinping.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
