Seems the Democraps did their usual...pay off cronies, then give them a monopoly. Way past time to put politicians in prison for misappropriation of funds...and that's just for starters!

My observation is that the federal government (the FDA) has declared that the only safe formula for a baby is that which is produced by the Pharma companies. The FDA has gone so far as to declare in statements that the homemade evaporated milk, Karo corn syrup, water formula that nourished babies foe many decades is now hazardous for other than emergency use. Their substantiation of this claim is flimsy. So the parents are in a fed-created dilemma. I raised two healthy boys on that formula. All of my friends did the same. My healthy grandchildren were raised on it. For all I know, my late Mother gave it to my brother and me. This is more of the ivermectin-type scam the FDA (hundreds of whose employees receive “royalties” from Pharma companies) has pulled. It should be exposed and condemned. It is just plain wrong.

PS. If mothers decide that the homemade formula is fine, it will sink the $53 billion/year commercial formula business. That is what Pharma and the FDA are afraid will happen.

So far it's been open borders, messed up Afghanistan withdrawal, high gas prices, highest inflation in history, empty shelves, billions to Ukraine, shortage in formula ... people complained about the shortage of toilet paper in the Trump years....

History shows that anytime the US Government, especially on behalf of the Democrats, get involved in regulating commercial issues that those situations are bound to turn to crap! This baby formula shortage is just the latest such issue. A presidential administration could not show more incompetence then Biden and his leftist politburo have by allowing the country to run out of baby formula, that is such a basic commodity necessary for the sustainment of vulnerable babies lives. Reagan had it right when he advised the American public to watch out anytime someone shows up and says “Hi I’m from the US Government here to help”.

Unbelievable that Bette Midler is really THAT stupid. A woman cannot just begin breastfeeding at will. If she did not initially post birth start breastfeeding her child and pumping breast milk regularly the mammary glands stop producing or don't produce adequate quantity. Some women are unable to breastfeed at all due to hypoplasia, hypothyroidism, use of certain medications, or if the baby has Galactosemia. Plus, if the woman [birthing-person] is ambitious/career-oriented and has gone back to work [liberals are supposed to be pro-career women, think Murphey Brown] she is unable to breastfeed.

FWIW: Were many kinds of baby formula at AF commissary this morning; shelves not fully stocked & limit of 3 per purchase. Some are sharing info online that changing your order to come from Canada on Amazon will get plenty delivered-can't say how rotten the shipping would be or the dollar conversion. Idiots in DC will be eating ice cream while babies wail!

When there is a shortage or a massive excess of some product in the market, you can be absolutely certain that the government has been medding and has short circuited the normal market economic forces which WILL prevent these things. Every time the government screws with the free market, it makes everything worse. It makes it more expensive than it should be, or it causes shortages - often they manage the brilliant trick of both at once.

Somebody needs to identify the warehouse or warehouses where they are storing the government 'hoarding' of formula. Then a lot of women can go down and carry signs, "My Baby needs formula" in front of the warehouse. That would be a wonderful news event.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday said there is “no way” that Elon Musk will buy Twitter at “such a ridiculous price” while pointing to the number of fake accounts and bots on the social media platform. Trump took to his own social media platform, Truth Social, to make the comments shortly after billionaire tech mogul Musk announced that his deal to buy Twitter was “temporarily on hold” until detailed information becomes available supporting that bots or fake accounts make up fewer than 5 percent of users on the platform.

As we contemplate the massive $40 billion transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to Ukraine, a few things need to be emphasized.

How much money does the federal government have? None. All those trillions of dollars the government spends is our money. Government has just appropriated it. The founders knew all about this process, and they abominated it. But as Christopher Marlowe put it in another context, “that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.” Over the years, I have several times written about the invaluable work Open the Books has done in exposing the corrupt, self-serving, nepotistic, unaccountable leviathan that is government bureaucracy.

ARLINGTON, Virginia — Pro-abortion protesters outside George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School Thursday afternoon called for “mandatory vasectomies” and claimed that “the Bible itself tells you how to perform abortions.” About 30 abortion advocates gathered outside the front entrance to the law school in Arlington, Virginia, to protest an address set to be given by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito at the school. The address was being given by Alito remotely from the court building while fallout from a draft opinion overturing infamous pro-abortion case Roe v.

For those who scoff that Florida’s new education law bans “non-existent” gender indoctrination, let the tale of Fairfax County, Virginia serve as a wake-up call. Fairfax County’s school board has long prided itself on leading the way for the nation in cutting-edge education policy and curriculum. As the tenth-largest district in the nation, it holds disproportionate sway over other school boards. In 2015, the Fairfax school board blindsided parents with changes to its non-discrimination policy, followed by a sweeping expansion of the sex-ed curriculum and new rules governing student offenses and penalties.
