Worst-case scenario? All his chickens will be returning to the nest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The spy balloon\u2019s appearance and that of two additional objects shot down by the military oddly highlight the importance of the House probes. The possibility that Biden has been compromised by profiting from son Hunter\u2019s lucrative foreign entanglements, especially with China, is drawing extra attention to how the president reacts to the Communist regime\u2019s aggressive surveillance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His weak-tea responses have raised even more suspicions. In fact, it\u2019s fair to say he has done or said nothing that would allay concerns and everything to aggravate them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It started with his administration\u2019s bizarre radio silence as the balloon crossed over Alaska and entered mainland airspace. The White House only realized what it knew when a civilian saw it above Montana.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Biden claimed credit for the shoot-down command on Wednesday.

What did China gain from the four-day delay in its release?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also instructive that among the White House\u2019s first lines of defense was a claim from an anonymous source to favored media that similar balloons surveilled America during the Trump years.

Analysts predicted that he would make it a point to emphasize the issue early, as a sign he was strong and in an effort to build bipartisan unity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he waited to late into the evening before declaring that, without even mentioning the balloon. \u201cif China threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Really? Is it protecting America\u2019s sovereignty to allow an adversary a full week of unhindered spying? It\u2019s safe to say China will not return the favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Telemundo two days later, Biden decided to take a different approach and insist that the incident was \u201cnot a major breach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Huh? It&#8217;s not true, even top Democrats.
