The Washington Free Beacon informs us that according to Johns Hopkins University 503,804 Americans have died from COVID since President Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021. That is almost 100,000 more than the number of Americans who died from COVID under former president Donald Trump.
On average, more than 1,300 Americans have died from COVID every day that Mr. Biden has been president.
I for one am not going to blame these deaths on the president. There's not much he could've done to prevent them.
Nevertheless, in October 2020, when roughly 200,000 Americans had died from COVID, then-candidate Biden declared that any leader who presided over that many deaths "should not remain as president of the United States of America."
So, over twice the number of Americans have died since Mr. Biden unfairly blamed 200,000 deaths on Mr. Trump. Moreover, Mr. Biden has had at his disposal to fight the virus vaccines developed under Mr. Trump's direction which Mr. Trump did not have.
If Mr. Trump did not deserve to be president, does Mr. Biden? If Mr. Trump was actually responsible for these deaths, as Mr. Biden implied, how much more should Mr. Biden hold himself to account for over twice the number of deaths?
Of course, the media also are culpable. If things were reversed, had Mr. Trump said about someone what Mr. Biden said about him, the media would be harassing every administration spokesperson who dared to show his or her face in public demanding that Mr. Trump live up to his own standard and resign.
As it is our supine media can't be bothered to hold Mr. Biden accountable for anything, fixated as they are on the only thing they can talk about which doesn't make Mr. Biden look bad, the January 6th riots.
It's hard not to conclude from this that neither the president nor the progressive media are to be taken seriously by serious people.
