The Joe Biden White House wants Americans to believe John Kirby over their own lying eyes.
Americans looking for answers about a flurry of continuous, unexplained aerial activity over New Jersey didn’t get a lot of help from the White House National Security communications adviser on Thursday, when Kirby used a news briefing to downplay concerns about potential danger in the strange, nighttime sightings.
In fact, Kirby — a man with his own credibility problems — ended up infuriating local officials and residents who’ve actually witnessed the phenomena.
Since late November, the objects have been spotted regularly over northern New Jersey, appearing and disappearing without explanation.
On Wednesday, Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a New Jersey Republican, went public with the charge — based on what he called “very qualified sources” — that the objects were actually drones being launched from an Iranian “mothership” off the East Coast.
At the briefing on Thursday, Kirby claimed all those sightings are just misunderstandings from observers on the ground.
“Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to — and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities — corroborate any of the reported visual sightings,” he said, as recorded by a White House transcript.
“To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.”
So, those ignorant knuckledraggers in New Jersey don’t know drones from planes and helicopters?
Jacqui Heinrich, Fox News senior White House correspondent, didn’t let the statement go unchallenged.
When the briefing opened for questions, she drilled down hard. Citing concerns from elected officials about the activity occurring “near critical infrastructure, sensitive locations, including reservoirs and military installations,” she stated the obvious about Kirby’s claim.
“Can you make that make more sense?” she asked. “Because I think people in New York and New Jersey see drones the size of an SUV over their house every night and think that that doesn’t make any sense.”
One of them is Sam Morris, mayor of Mine Hill Township, New Jersey.
In an interview with ABC News on Thursday, Morris blasted Kirby’s statement as “ridiculous.”
“I would invite Mr. Kirby to Mine Hill. Come on out, Mr. Kirby, and let’s go out one night about 9:30, 10 o’clock,” he said. “I’ll go out behind my town hall, and you can count them with me all night.”
And it’s not just Mine Hill. Morris cited a report from a neighboring town, where “there’s anywhere from 30 to 40 [sightings] a night, and every night they’re in the same place doing the same things.”
“So I have to say, Mr. Kirby, that’s a lot of nonsense.”
Many agreed, including Rich Zeoli, a conservative radio host in Philadelphia, who sarcastically summed up Kirby’s explanation as the objects being ” just a guy with a couple of drones he got at Best Buy.”
And there plenty of others critics.
When it comes to Kirby’s credibility, it’s important to remember that he was the spokesman for the State Department during the final years of the Obama administration — a White House that was infamous for lying to the American people and getting away with it thanks to a coddling White House press corps.
(As State Department mouthpiece, Kirby helped sell the country Obama’s Iran nuclear deal — which was later renounced by President Donald Trump only for the Biden administration to try to revive it, unsuccessfully, with John Kirby back on the scene.)
In the Biden years, he’s been talked about as a rival and potential replacement for the serial liar Karine Jean-Pierre as White House press secretary.
In short, however much conservatives might normally honor a man who spent a career in military service, ending up with the rank of Navy rear admiral, John Kirby’s record over the past decade-plus of public life doesn’t instill confidence — and Thursday’s news conference didn’t help.
Sane Americans will trust their lying eyes instead. source
The Lord always arrives in the nick of time but only according to His timing. Getting rid of OBiden was an answer to thousands of prayers but we need to keep praying
that the mess he’s making will cease & our Mighty God will be glorified somehow
thru all this & the Gospel will still continue to be preached to all the world.
Amen, Dale! A good word spoken (**as usual) !!
What else would we expect from a treasonous government that allowed China to fly there reconnaissance balloons over our nation! Now this same administration is selling border wall so the incoming administration will have delays in construction and more enemy infiltrators will have access. The insanity of these despots in that they just keep heaping coals upon their own heads.
Such EVIL! COME LORD JESUS!!
Our government in the U.K. would easily get around that selling of the wall idea. I can’t remember what the official name of the ‘law’ is, but there is one which allows the government to compulsorily purchase land it decides it wants to hog, whether or not the owner is willing to sell it. They often do it to farmers, so that they can build wind ‘farms’ and other such junk, killing at least two birds with the one stone — they make heaps of money through the contracts, and get rid of farmland at the same time, which of course their masters are urging them to do.
In this case, however, it could be put to good use for once. If the U.S.A. has any such law (which I bet it does — as if any government would miss on having land-hogging-at-will law if it could help it!) Trump could simply compulsorily purchase all the wall…
Amen to that!!
I expect it must be spying and snooping of some kind — certainly treason. It would be jolly interesting if one was somehow brought down — I’m sure there must be plenty of ways of grounding one, if one set one’s mind to it.
I do think it rather funny (if anything in this vile situation can actually be called that…) how the liars are just simply rubbish even at telling untruths now. At least with a plausible liar, one might sometimes feel a kind of awe at how they manage to make a story seem real even if one knows it isn’t: but when they simply bleat a load of utter idiocy like some poor dope born with literally half a brain, then they just don’t even get that dubious accolade 😀
