They shot another one down over Lake Michigan, up to 4 now.
The laptop, Epsteins list, Vax deaths and the economy / failing administration would be my guess...I am wondering what the distraction is for? What are we not supposed to be watching? Maybe the laptop?

Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary.php?ind=m04&cycle=All&recipdetail=S&mem=Y
Specifically, regulators killed provisions requiring rail cars carrying hazardous flammable materials to be equipped with electronic braking systems to stop trains more quickly than conventional air brakes. Norfolk Southern had previously touted the new technology — known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes — for its “potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems.”
But the company’s lobby group nonetheless pressed for the rule’s repeal, telling regulators that it would “impose tremendous costs without providing offsetting safety benefits.”
That argument won out with Trump officials
“Would ECP brakes have reduced the severity of this accident? Yes,” Steven Ditmeyer, a former senior official at the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), told The Lever. “The railroads will test new features. But once they are told they have to do it… they don’t want to spend the money.”
Rail Companies Blocked Safety Rules Before Ohio Derailment
The sequence of events began a decade ago in the wake of a major uptick in derailments of trains carrying crude oil and hazardous chemicals, including a New Jersey train crash that leaked the same toxic chemical as in Ohio.
In response, the Obama administration in 2014 proposed improving safety regulations for trains carrying petroleum and other hazardous materials. However, after industry pressure, the final measure ended up narrowly focused on the transport of crude oil and exempting trains carrying many other combustible materials, including the chemical involved in this weekend’s disaster.
Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.

I had lunch with a good friend today whose neighbor is an executive in Raytheon….. they were out for dinner and he asked if he knew where the balloons came from…….Raytheon’s parent company operates the radar stations for defense…. All the balloons shot down they watched coming in from China.

so if true…… why doesn’t the government say so …… why leave media spinning….. something is really wrong here

I did a search on the epstein thing, this came up at top of google results page, someone is interested in this storyThey are just trying to clog the news cycle and distract everyone from this...
