The picture of the balloon being recovered [above] recalls the famous painting by Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault: "The Raft of the Medusa (1818-1819).

How melodramatic!

In his State o the Union address, President Biden boldly exclained that he had protected our country's sovereignty: from a Chinese balloon.

He failed to mention the trial balloon he sent to China: Ms. Pelosi's PR junket to Taiwan to insult the Chinese leader and his country to unnecessarily raise tensions between our two countries.
