The Chinese Communists should stick to spy balloons.They are cheaper and more effective — unless they are shot down — than Chinese police stations in New York and other cities in the U.S. Why don’t we have one in Boston?And Chinese President Xi Jinping is probably grateful that President Joe Biden did not order the spy balloon shot down until it had crossed the U.S. and completed its intelligence gathering mission. But it makes little difference.If President Xi Jinping cannot use balloons to steal U.S. Intelligence, or have his own police stations in the U.S. to spy on Chinese dissidents, he will find other means.Like tapping into the bonanza of U.S. secret intelligence made available by Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira. And the secret intelligence gathered was cheaper than a spy balloon. In fact, it was free.If the 21-year-old Teixeira could have access to such secret intelligence, how many more Jack Teixeiras are there among the two million peop...Headed to the beach this week?

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia said Sunday that the United States has denied visas to journalists who wanted to cover Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s trip to New York, and Lavrov suggested that Moscow would take strong retaliatory measures.There was no immediate comment from the U.S. State Department about the claim of refused visas. The journalists aimed to cover Lavrov’s appearance at the United Nations to mark Russia’s chairmanship of the Security Council.“A country that calls itself the strongest, smartest, free and fair country has chickened out and done something stupid by showing what its sworn assurances about protecting freedom of speech and access to information are really worth,” Lavrov said before leaving Moscow on Sunday.“Be sure that we will not forget and will not forgive,” he said.“I emphasize that we will find ways to respond to this, so that the Americans will remember for a long time not to do this,” deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said.The d...Texas authorities investigate cases of dead, mutilated cows
