As Hinderaker also well knows, these balloons have all had communications jammed while over NORAD airspace. Yet he and Johnson try to stoke fear, lacking patriotism — and real courage, themselves.

But this means only that it is F-22 Raptor target practice… not much else.

So it is we are forced to endure more Hinderakerian nonsense, tonight.

Yikes.
