I have seen the annual deaths in the U.S posted by CDC, with a jump of about 500,000 in 2020 and estimated for 2021. Since we know CDC is yet another Federal agency that can't be trusted, I started to dig into this a little. I am waiting for Texas to send me their data (hopefully they will), so used what I could from CA. I didn't think FL was a good state to use since they have such a large seasonal population. Here is what I found from CA compared to the CDC stats for the entire country:

Population of CA, ~39,550,000

pre-covid death rate of ~0.00683 (total deaths divided by population)

2020 death rate of 0.00811

US population of ~331,000,000

pre-covid deaths in U.S. per year: 2,854,838 (in 2019) 2020 U.S. deaths: 3,358,814

U.S. death rate of: 2019 - 0.00862 2020 - 0.01015

So what is interesting is that the U.S. death rate from CDC in 2019 is about the rate in CA in 2020 (with both pre- and post-covid U.S. death rates higher from the CDC estimate as compared to CA). CA, being the largest state in population, would seem to track fairly well with the U.S., so this quick little analysis brings up an interesting difference that may suggest CDC fudged the total deaths in the U.S. up to support the covid deaths narrative. I will hopefully get the Texas data, since TX is the 2nd most populous state, and would hopefully have truthful numbers. I wouldn't put it past CDC to have altered data from previous years, but that would mean any reports from past years that are not on their site would show those differences, so they wouldn't be that stupid, would they :)
