On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) stated that there has been a nearly “800% increase April over April” in the amount of fentanyl coming across the border apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety. And that there has been enough fentanyl obtained to kill everyone in New York.

Abbott said, “I’ve got to tell you, Steve, there’s something else, a new dynamic about what’s going on at the border that Americans need to know about, and that is the increased apprehension of fentanyl coming across the border. Yes, there may be people coming across the border. But there [are] dangerous drugs coming across the border. For your audience who may not know, two milligrams of fentanyl is a fatal dose. And so, know this, we had…[an] almost 800% increase April over April of the amount of fentanyl that has been apprehended by the Texas Department of Public Safety. We have obtained enough fentanyl coming across the border to kill every single person in the state of New York.”

The Biden administration, and its policies, have been a colossal failure, just as I and every other FReeper knew it would be.

The question is, will the rest of America see this and take corrective action in 2022 and 2024.

We are seeing a lot more OD’s lately due to fentanyl laced drugs. It’s cheap right now so it gets cut into everything. They are even putting in weed.

I just can’t fathom that in the drug world, killing your customers is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s an advertisement that he has the “good stuff.”

“And the 800% increase is just what they CAUGHT. There must be a similar, or perhaps even higher, increase in what actually gets inside the US borders.”

I’ve read in the past that they think they catch about 10% of the total shipments.

Going to have to fix the voting system first, and that doesn’t look likely. Many Republicans have already surrendered and the ones who will stay in office have made their deals.

I wonder how much money is being paid to the dimrats in DC to keep the border open.
