The news had reported that it was Mexican cartel drones, not a balloon, and that is the position that our officials maintain, so it is good, so good, and patriotic actually

If some American civilians (if not illegals) flying by at the time of the foreign incursion are put in harm's way as sacrificial collateral damage in order to protect us in the heat of the moment, that's just the cost of freedom and we should all celebrate it, else leave for somewhere abroad with values that better align with an urge to welcome foreign invasion. Such a tragedy would be so easily avoided if the borders were simply closed and everyone stopped welcoming Mexican cartels into their communities, right? Balloon news is a distraction.

> "The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory."

Was the party balloon made in China?
