White House gives update on mysterious objects as concerns mount

Published

on

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people

While there are mounting questions surrounding the recently shot-down high-altitude objects, the White House Press Secretary was able to rule out one possibility.

“There is no, again no, indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” said Karine Jean-Pierre.

On February 4, the U.S. Airforce shot down a Chinese spy balloon that the Pentagon has confirmed is part of China’s massive intelligence surveillance program run by the Chinese military.

The U.S. Navy continues its salvage efforts in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina to recover that pay load.

Then on Friday, a second small object was shot down over northern Alaska.

On Saturday a third object was shot down over the Yukon and on Sunday a fourth object was shot down near Canadian airspace over Lake Huran.

On Monday, National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby delivered an update and was asked about the repeated breach of U.S. airspace.

A reporter asked Kirby, “When it comes to these higher altitudes, are America’s borders secure?”

“The President takes as I said earlier, he takes our national security extremely seriously, he has no higher responsibility than the safety and security of the American people,” Kirby said.

“And I don’t think you need to look any further quite frankly than the decisions he’s made in the last week to 10 days to evidence that.”

During a reporter’s follow-up question, Kirby was asked if the President is plugging holes as he discovers vulnerabilities in real-time.

“You’re making an assumption that I don’t know that the analysis will actually bear out,” Kirby responded.

The U.S. has now shot down more aerial objects over U.S. territory since Pearl Harbor back in 1941.

Bipartisan calls are growing louder for President Joe Biden to formally address the American people on this serious issue reading America’s national security.

US government reopens after record shutdown, yet deep political rifts and funding uncertainties linger

In Short:
– U.S. government reopens after 43-day shutdown, causing disruption and unpaid federal workers.
– Political divisions persist, with unresolved issues and nearly equal blame for the shutdown on both parties.
The U.S. government is set to reopen following the longest shutdown in history, lasting 43 days.

This shutdown disrupted air travel and food assistance, leaving over 1 million federal workers unpaid.Political divisions remain despite the funding package allowing the government to resume operations. Republican President Donald Trump’s administration continues to challenge Congress on financial matters, and unresolved health subsidies remain a key issue.

Discontent within the Democratic Party is evident, as moderates and liberals disagree on how to handle Trump’s presidency.

Federal employees affected by the shutdown will receive back pay, with payments expected to be completed by Wednesday. While Trump’s administration previously threatened to withhold pay, there are no current indications of this. The deal reached ensures that federal jobs safeguarded during the shutdown are maintained.

Air Travel Normalises

Air traffic is returning to normal after significant disruption during the shutdown.

The Department of Homeland Security announced bonuses for security screeners who worked extra shifts. State funding for food aid programs will be restored shortly, assisting millions of Americans dependent on these resources.

Polling reveals nearly equal blame for the shutdown is placed on both political parties. Upcoming funding decisions pose the threat of repeating the shutdown cycle as concerns about national debt persist.
