Michael Ramirez for February 09, 2023

Unemployment is historically low.

Millions of jobs have come on line.

Inflation is slowing.

Americans are personally doing okay economically.

The vast majority of people are happy with their quality of life.

The stock market is doing fine.America’s GDP continues to grow.

.

But Biden has ‘ruined’ the economy.

It’s also good to remember that the stock market tripled during the Obama administration.

So Ramirez thinks Biden should have brought in the remains of the Chinese balloon to show everyone that under his administration they shoot them down instead of ignoring them? I think we’d rather dissect and analyze it instead.

“Weather balloon. Totally not for spying!”

That’s been debunked. Try again.

This one made me laugh! Then it made me laugh to read all the comments from leftists who get so offended over a comic!

The distraction continues. What is its shelf life? What new outrage will trump (pun intended) this one?

If Ben Franklin were alive he’d have to amend one of his more famous quotes to reflect the new reality: “the only thing that is certain is death, taxes and GOP distractions.”

Be a darn sight stronger were it not for the obstructionists that say no to every reasonable civilized improvement.

For the safety of citizens, it was shot down over the water….it’s one of many spy balloons in a huge program to spy on military, etc in many countries….

Why are FOREIGN COUNTRIES ALLOWED TO PURCHASE LANDS IN America, near sensitive military facilities? D. U. H. ‼️‼️‼️

By the way, Mr. Ramirez, the balloon WAS popped.

Could you please enunciate a little more clearly? The microphone is a long way away.

Biden screeching it was trump’s fault I’m a old man with dementia not my fault look at all my worthless staff

It’s possible that there were other Chinese spy balloons that traversed over US airspace, but so far, the indication from hearsay is that they were very brief, and trump and others weren’t informed. There were no citizen sightings so there was no public awareness, either. Now the Chinese went further by sending a balloon over the middle of the country, over numerous military installations along the way, over a week-long period. I don’t think comparing previous incidents to this one is apples to apples. Not even close.

Shooting it down after a week, when it about to leave US airspace, rather than when it entered it, looks like they only shot it down because the Balloons existence and what it was became public. The administration knew of it for days and said nothing. Given the low level of transparency from the Whitehouse these days, I bet they were hoping to keep it under wraps. It could and should have been taken down over the water near the Aleutians or over Alaska when it was crossing an area so remote that there was no risk of harm to life or property. Dems keep telling me that the Chinese couldn’t get any info from the spy balloon but can’t provide any evidence. The Chinese own thousands of acres of land near military installation in the US. How do we know they weren’t pulling data from the balloon all along its trip? We don’t. Yes, the government says they were doing everything they can to jam it, etc., but who knows if they were successful or if they succeeded but only after the Chinese gathered some nice intel. They could have eliminated all doubt by taking the balloon out as soon as it hit US airspace rather than a week later.

It looks to me like the CCP pushed the envelope on the biden admin and made old Joe look weak and indecisive to anyone who isn’t a deep blue leftist.

We’re doing so well the Chinese are stopping at nothing to figure out how.

Why in Hades name would the Chinese want to spy on the old man’s speech?? Alzheimer’s research??

Has the democrat party become the Pollyanna Party?

“Let’s put aside our differences and focus on results to keep this dream alive for future generations,” Ciscomani said in closing. “The state of our union is strong because our people are strong. We can overcome any obstacle. Our best days lie ahead.” – abcnews.com

Yes, President Biden is hopeful and optimistic. That’s who he is. And he got quite a few of his promised thru the Congress.

Jamie Raskin hammers GOP after Kevin McCarthy’s district hits higher crime rate than D.C.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) refuted Republican lawmakers on Thursday by noting that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) district has a higher crime rate than Washington, D.C. During a debate over GOP legislation to partially strip D.C. of its limited self-governance, Raskin took the podium to dispute statements by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA).

Why would the Chinese need a spy balloon to hear Biden make a State of The Union speech? All they have to do is tune into any of many news channels and hear it live.

I may not care for him but he’s doing his job. Thank you.

Have any of these cartoonists read that 3 flew over during the Trump years? And the way they all hammered China about creating Covid, you would’ve thought there would be widespread panic that it was being spread by those things then. But..not…a…word…about…it…

Mitt Romney backs Biden on China spy balloon

While President Joe Biden has been taking hits from some Republicans and Democrats over his handling of a Chinese spy balloon that entered American airspace last week, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said that he believed the president had taken the right course. In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, Romney said that Biden had made the right call to wait to shoot down the balloon until it was over the ocean.

NOW I know that that reminds me of! Anyone remember that great Brit sci-fi “The Prisoner” with its ominous white…whatever? THAT’S IT!

…reminds me of Rush L. referring to “…the Obama recession…” in ’08 AFTER

(woops) …reminds me of Rush L. referring to “…the Obama recession…” in ’08 after the election but BEFORE Obama had taken office (a recession that had started under G W Bush.)Hey, you’re in good company, M R!

Hugely strong. A fantastic difference compared to The Former Guy.

@ramireztoons – the working end of this spy balloon was 2-3 buses big, if you’re going b1t$h moan and whine you could have drawn it to scale.
