Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana has announced that she will not seek reelection in 2024.

This is a major diappointment as Spartz is one of the true conservatives serving in Congress. She claims that she needs more time to spend raising her children, which is understandable, but it’s still sad to know she is leaving the House.

Hopefully, she will continue to be a voice for the right.

Newsmax reports:

GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz First to Announce Exit, 3 Months After Reelection

From Washington, D.C., to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Republicans and quite a few Democrats and independents were left speechless by the news Friday that two-term Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., would not seek reelection in 2024.

The lone member of Congress born in Ukraine told reporters that, at 44, “being a working mom is tough, and I need to spend more time with my two high school girls back home, so I will not run for any office in 2024.”

Spartz had previously hinted she might consider a run for the Hoosier State’s U.S. Senate seat next year.

In becoming the first U.S. representative to declare retirement — and only three months after she won her second term — Spartz continues a growing trend of lawmakers leaving after a brief tenure rather than accumulating seniority, a pattern for generations of previous House members.

“She probably found that Congress was not what she signed up for,” one retired House staffer told Newsmax, adding the long hours and weekly commute to one’s home district is increasingly stressful for modern House members.

As a legal immigrant to America, Spartz understands freedom better than many members of the House who were born here.

It will be very sad to see her go.

The China spy balloon tracking model over the continental US.

On Saturday the Biden regime admitted the China spy balloon crossing the continental US was first spotted a week earlier in Alaska back on January 28th. The balloon flew from Alaska into Canada and down into the continental US. On Tuesday the balloon entered the Idaho-Montana region and crossed the US for the next four days. The China spy balloon was then shot down after it left US territory in North Carolina and had collected all of its data for the Chinese Communist Party.

This was an unprecedented event in US history.

The event is the latest example of the not only ineptness but the absolute dereliction of duty of this far-left administration. The Bidens are a national threat. We now know the Biden administration was hoping to hide this from the American public due to an upcoming trip by the Secretary of State to China that was planned for this weekend. It’s clear at this point that the Biden regime is compromised.

The Gateway Pundit put together this graphic to show how many military bases were in the balloon’s path as it maneuvered across the United States.

Here is a list of the US Military bases in the path of the China Spy Balloon.

** Malstrom Air Force Base – Montana
** Ellsworth Air Force Base – South Dakota
** Joe Foss Field ANG – South Dakota
** Sioux City ANG – Iowa
** Offutt Air Force Base -Nebraska
** Camp Ashland – Nebraska
** Lincoln ANG – Nebraska
** Whiteman Air Force Base – Missouri
** Fort Leonard Wood – Missouri
** St. Louis Army Human Resources – St. Louis, MO
** Scott Air Force Base – Illinois
** Fort Campbell – Tennessee
** Nashville ANG – Tennessee
** Smyrna ANG – Tennessee
** Houston Barracks – Tennessee
** McGhee Tyson ANG – Tennessee
** Pope Air Force Base – North Carolina
** Fort Bragg – North Carolina
** MCAS New River – North Carolina
** Camp Lejeune – North Carolina
** US Coast Guard Station Fort Macon

This was an unprecedented national security threat.

Under Joe Biden and Democrats we have an open southern border and now we have China floating spy balloons across the continental United States without any fear of recourse by the Biden regime.

Americans better wake up before it’s too late.
