2 Vietnams, 8 Pearl Harbors, and 10 September 11s: More Than 165K Americans Dead From COVID in Biden’s First 100 Days
Today marks President Joe Biden's 100th day in office. It is a milestone that, given his advanced age and declining cognitive health, few expected him to achieve. Vice President Kamala Harris will have to wait a little longer to seize the power she so desperately craves.
Professional journalists and other deranged libs have already anointed Biden the most transformative president since FDR or LBJ. It must be really humiliating for Barack Obama. In praising Biden's first 100 days in office, however, the liberal pundits refuse to acknowledge the blood on the president's hands and the COVID-19 body count that continues to rise.
Although he promised to keep Americans safe from harm, Biden has failed to deliver. More than 165,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 on Biden's watch, at a shocking rate of about 1,650 per day. Biden's COVID-19 death toll is roughly equivalent to
- 3 Vietnams
- 38 D-Day landings
- 55 September 11 attacks
- 69 Pearl Harbors
- 982 Oklahoma City bombings
In just 100 days as commander in chief, Biden has presided over a body count equivalent to 2 Vietnams, 8 Pearl Harbors, and 10 September 11s, at a rate equivalent to a 9/11 attack every other day.
Biden failed to take responsibility for the deaths during his long-winded congressional address on Wednesday, in which he thanked politicians, but not health care workers, for helping Americans get COVID-19 vaccinations. He refused to credit former president Donald Trump and Operation Warp Speed, launched almost a year ago to the widespread derision of "scientific experts" who argued Trump's optimism was reckless and could get people killed.
Meanwhile, there is no telling how many people have died as a result of Biden's decision to halt the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The controversial decision was not based on science and needlessly terrified Americans, especially those already hesitant to get vaccinated.
Perhaps the comparison to LBJ, architect of the Vietnam War, is a fitting one after all.
Exclusive: Migrant ‘Got-Away’ Total Exceeds 185K this Year, Says Source
A law enforcement source within Customs and Border Protection says more than 185,000 migrants escaped Border Patrol apprehension so far this fiscal year. On average, more than 30,000 illegal aliens avoided capture in the last 22 days the source said.
Breitbart Texas reported in mid-April, the “got-away” total exceeded more than 155,000 leaving Border Patrol leadership frustrated. Last year, 69,000 illegal migrants managed to avoid apprehension by the Border Patrol. In just over seven months of this fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2020, the number of “got-aways” nearly tripled last year’s totals. Sources report the sharpest increase began in January.
The metric is usually not released by the Department of Homeland Security. It is achieved by counting illegal immigrants who ultimately escape Border Patrol apprehension after being observed by aircraft platforms and camera systems. In addition, Border Patrol agents using traditional sign-cutting techniques identify footprints crossing the border and count those that elude apprehension.
“That’s where it gets tricky,” says one Border Patrol agent who did not wish to be identified. “On a small trail, dozens can walk all over each other’s footprints, so you just do your best. Often, they’ll glue carpet to the soles of their shoes making detection even harder.”
Sources report for these reasons, the “got-away” count is usually lower than reality. How much so is debatable as the latter method of counting is not scientific. The increasing “got-away” numbers come as CBP reports its highest apprehension totals since 2006.
Despite the current administration’s refusal to call the immigration situation on the border a crisis, the recent surges are concerning. The increasing number of unaccompanied migrant children crossing the border has Health and Human Services struggling to find sponsors within the United States. Many believe the impetus for the surges in illegal entries is being fueled by the promise of amnesty legislation. The Biden administration’s new policies regarding lax interior enforcement and a reduction in removals are also believed to be contributing to the surge in activity along the border.
Recent reports concerning the reduced patrols being conducted by the Border Patrol are likely contributing to the surge in the “got-away” count. Addressing the humanitarian needs of thousands of migrants crossing the border directly impacts the Border Patrol’s ability to patrol many remote areas. This situation is likely to worsen as the crisis develops.

52 Migrants Found in Texas Human Smuggling Stash Houses near Border
Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents found 52 migrants in stash houses during a seven-hour period last week.
Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station agents working the border near Garciasville, Texas, on April 28 detected migrant tracks indicating a group illegally crossed the border from Mexico, according to information provided by Border Patrol officials. The agents began following the tracks north from the river.

The agents tracked the group of migrants to a suspected human smuggling stash house. Agents contacted the Starr County Sheriff’s Office for assistance in investigating the possible stash house operation.
While carrying out a welfare check on the residence, agents identified 10 migrants hiding in the home. All were determined to be illegally present in the United States, officials stated.
A few hours later, agents working with Starr County deputies identified three additional homes near Roma, Texas, believed to be operating as human smuggling stash houses. Authorities arrived at all three locations and found several migrants in each house who were identified as being illegally present in the U.S. Agents carried out immigration interviews and identified the 42 migrants as foreign nationals from Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua.
Agents transported all of the migrants to Border Patrol stations for processing and possible expulsion under Title 42 coronavirus protection protocols put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Even with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, human smugglers continue to try these brazen attempts with zero regard for the lives they endanger nor to the health of the citizens of our great nation,” Border Patrol officials said in a written statement. “The U.S. Border Patrol agents of the Rio Grande Valley Sector will continue to safeguard the nation and community against these criminal elements.”
