“Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.” Psalm 127:1 (NASB).

U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), informed reporters that the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina was up to 200 feet tall, weighed “in excess of a couple thousand pounds,” and seemingly carried explosives “to detonate and destroy the balloon.”

It was first spotted in Alaska and we let it drift across our national mainland, including sensitive defense sites collecting who knows what.

This gives new meaning to “Chinese Inflation."
