Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared to be the first legislator to try to bring a white balloon to the State of the Union address, an appeal made to Republican lawmakers on extremist and conspiracy websites in recent days.
Those messages included posts calling for Republicans to show up with balloons and jokes about whether Biden will address the controversy during his speech, she said. Online forums where QAnon and other groups push conspiracy theories have, in recent days, become flooded posts and memes related to the Chinese spy balloon.
If you read my previous post about the white balloon cookies, you saw simple and elegant white balloons where the lollipop sticks were wrapped in washi tape and tied with kitchen twine around the neck of the balloon cookie.
Filmmaker Panahi directs everyone superbly. The performances are straightforward, highly restrained and thoroughly persuasive. The city is a constant presence too, a bustling place full of motorbikes, cars and passersby. You swear you're watching a documentary. "The White Balloon," originally made for Iranian television, is deeply humanistic too. Every character Razieh runs into is an unforgettable soul, with both scheming and ultimately warm qualities -- even the snake charmers. A pluralistic segment of Iranian society is revealed here, which manages to tacitly indict national behavior, but also redeem it. To see such a mature, balanced view -- given the one-dimensionally belligerent atmosphere between the United States and Iran -- is enriching. THE WHITE BALLOON (Unrated) -- Contains nothing offensive. In Farsi with subtitles at the Key. CAPTION: Aida Mohammadkhani has her heart set on a plump goldfish in "The White Balloon."
Back home, Razieh is upset about her mother's refusal to let her buy a new goldfish, and continues to nag her mother. Her older brother Ali (Mohsen Kalifi) returns from a shopping errand for their father. He complains that he asked Ali to buy shampoo, not soap, then throws the soap at him. Ali sets off to buy the shampoo and when he returns Razieh asks him to help in changing her mother's mind about the goldfish, bribing him with a balloon. Ali thinks that the 100 tomans cost for the goldfish is a waste of money but helps Razieh in petitioning their mother nonetheless. Her mother gives her the family's last 500-toman banknote and asks her to bring back the change. Razieh sets off with an empty glass jar to the fish shop a few blocks away.
Razieh and Ali make several attempts to retrieve the money and while doing so encounter many people, including a kind older woman at the fish shop, the owners of a nearby shop, and an Iranian soldier. The money, however, is always just out of reach. Finally, the siblings receive help from a young Afghan street vendor selling balloons. He carries all of his balloons on a wooden stick, which has three balloons left. Razieh, Ali, and the Afghan boy are unable to retrieve the note with only the stick, so Ali comes up with the idea of sticking gum to the bottom of the stick to retrieve the bill. Ali leaves to buy gum, but returns without any, and finds that the Afghan boy has left Razieh at the grate. However, the Afghan boy soon returns with his stick, now with only one white balloon, and a pack of chewing gum he bought for the group. The group attaches a piece of gum to one end of the balloon stick, and with it they reach down through the grate and pull the money out.
The film ends, not with Ali and Razieh, but on a still shot of the young Afghan boy, as he sits at the grate watching Ali and Razieh leave for the shop and soon afterwards return home from buying the goldfish. The Afghan boy sits alone with his stick and white balloon for a while, as the Iranian year 1374 begins, then he gets up to walk away.
"President Biden isn't afraid of balloons, he allowed China to traverse the United States with a Chinese spy balloon, gather intel from all of our military bases, our food factories, our cities, our critical infrastructure, send it back to China, before shooting it down on February 4," she said.
While many people speculated Greene would bring the white balloon to the State of the Union address, she arrived without the prop in hand. CBS News has reached out to a representative for Greene and is awaiting response.
While Greene expressed concern that Biden did not act with enough urgency in regards to the balloon, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement Saturday afternoon that the president had given his authorization on Wednesday "to take down the surveillance balloon as soon as the mission could be accomplished without undue risk to American lives under the balloon's path."
On Saturday, balloon was shot down off the South Carolina coast with a single air-to-air missile launched from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. The Chinese foreign ministry said the decision to shoot it down was "a clear overreaction and a serious violation of international practice."
1. I bought white balloons and blew them up while Henry cracked some glow in the dark bracelets (this tube of 100 for $8) so they glowed. When I broke down the cost, these 10 we made cost less than $2. You could make a whole room full of them for 10 or 20 bucks. Easy and cheap!

You start with the white balloon, forming two identical bubbles about three fingers long. And you block the two bubbles by twisting them together several times around their bases. So, we already have our penguin's two eyes!
Let's go back to the white balloon. At its base we make a well-rounded bubble that we're going to pinch, and twist to make into sort of ear or bean shape. We will use this 'bean-bubble' to wedge Tux's head firmly, above its wings and back. And the rest of the white balloon will come in front, to allow us to shape the stomach.
So, air control again, but this time, we're pushing the air all the way to the end. You shape a small round bubble at the end of the white balloon, and lock it at the base of the wings, around the tail and the base of the back. It doesn't matter which side the bubble comes out from for the moment. We fold the big white loop thusly shaped into two equal parts, just to mark where the half of this loop is located, and we use this mark to divide the loop into two equal parts, by pressing and turning them just like this.

Sullivan did not explain what specifically allowed the U.S. to detect and track the latest balloon where the previous administration might not have. Officials have said, without elaborating, that China has flown similar balloons over parts of five continents in recent years.
The White House said the balloon was a setback to already tense relations with Beijing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was supposed to visit China but the trip was put on hold because of the incident.
Pieces of the airship rained down into water a mere 47 feet (14 meters) or so deep, making recovery of the debris quite feasible. Indeed, teams dispatched to the area managed to haul the tattered balloon's huge white envelope out of the sea on Sunday (Feb. 5), as photos posted by the DOD show.
