In the air. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is Biden administrationThe last shred of the company's credibility burns out in the form of giant mysterious drones over New Jersey.
As President Joe Biden steps away from one of the worst presidencies in American history, these are the events Unidentified flying objectsWhatever it is, it serves as a reminder that the White House's general attitude toward the American people has been, “You don't need to know that.”
We didn't need to know that the President of the United States was suffering Severe mental deteriorationwe didn't need to know that he was already open to pardoning his son Hunter when he swore he would never do so.
Drone sightings in New Jersey could be a 'covert exercise', former CIA officer says
Even in 2021, when COVID-19 cases among vaccinated people that shouldn't have been popping up all over Washington, D.C., Fox News' Peter Doocy asked at the time: Press Secretary Jen Psaki How many were discovered in the white house.
“Why do you need this information?” Was her amazing response.
In other words, you don't need to know.
For four years now, it's been the Biden administration and the Biden administration alone that have deigned to decide what Americans do and don't need to know, and even in the case of the first administration, those people seem to lie half the time. .

Let's consider, just for a moment, how ironic it is that aerial objects the size of a pickup truck are hovering over the Garden State and the White House claims to have no idea what these things are, nor do they seem particularly curious about them.
Knowing the identity of the giant objects in the sky seems like a low bar for a president, but this is Joe Biden we're talking about.
So, the White House Spokesman Admiral John Kirby He's sent to face the cameras and basically say, we have no idea what the hell these things are, but we're pretty sure there's no danger associated with them.
This doesn't make sense, if you don't know what they are, how can you tell if they pose any threat?
And note that it was Kirby who told us this, not press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. And yes, Kirby is a defense expert, but can you imagine KJP, having been caught lying to the American people to the equivalent of a Pinocchio trilogy, handling this case?

What can you say? “I know I lied about Hunter’s pardon, Biden’s mental ability, and whether he will withdraw from the election, but this time you have to trust me completely, everything is fine, I swear by the triple pinky?”
The Biden administration likes to call itself “the most transparent in history,” but I don’t think they actually know what that word means, although I think, in fairness, it has become somewhat easier to see through their lies.
At this point, we have no idea what these drones are. It could be a teenage prank, or it could be a complex Iranian operation involving a ship parked off the East Coast. It would be nice to know which ones.
But honestly, even if the White House came up with an explanation, why would anyone believe it? Why do we assume that it is nothing but a lie intended to hide information that we do not need to know?

In a little over a month, Trump will be in the White House, and he's already said that, if this mystery isn't solved by then, he's open to shooting down one of these drones to find out what it is.
Anyone whose mind has not been mixed up with interagency regulations in Washington, D.C., knows that we should have dropped one of these things days ago. It's just common sense, Trump said.
But more importantly, if such an event were to occur, the incoming White House press secretary, Carolyn Leavitt, would have the opportunity to approach the matter with a clean record, and as long as she never abused that, the trust between the White House and citizens could deteriorate. restoration.

The question is not what the American people need to know, the question is what is worth knowing, and with very few exceptions, the answer to that question should always be, “Any damned thing we want to know.”
Joe Biden couldn't deliver on that commitment, which is a big part of why voters politely left him.
