President Joe Biden was blasted by outraged parents who believe his 'incompetent' administration waited too long to address the nationwide baby formula shortage that has left families scrambling to find ways to feed their infants.Biden, on Wednesday evening, invoked the Defense Production Act to boost baby formula production and issued a directive for planes to bring in supplies from overseas, after growing pressure from Congress. In addition to invoking the Cold War-era law to compel suppliers to direct resources to infant formula manufacturers before any other customer, Biden announced 'Operation Fly Formula.'

That is exactly what the created shortages were to accomplish. Importing baby formula from overseas manufacturers with no oversight from the FDA. We have no idea what's in it. Oh it's probably coming from where... China? Let me guess. Ukraine, Venezuela? Sending big business overseas is what its all about. Crooked Hunter set this up and The Big Guy is getting his 10%. Oh and everything swoons and praises the pedo for finally doing the right thing. Beeess, everyone that thinks this is wearing a mask and has been vaxed and boosted and votes democrat every time. Come on sheeple wake up and figure it out.

And why, exactly, is the FDA keeping the Abbott factory closed? No one seems to know. Is it to set up the purchase of formula with our fiat money (with a generous cut to the big guy)? Unbelievable what they are getting away with!

As a grandparent of a child who had to be on a specialized formula because of severe allergies (which she mercifully outgrew), I can imagine the panic these parents must be feeling. Hungry babies in the USA. Let’s go, Brandon!

Will all this forced “defense” production be used to feed troops? Another abuse of the Act.

The Biden regime simply does not CARE about Americans’ babies when illegal invaders’ babies might be hungry.
Actions speak louder than words. Also, desperate American parents will pay high prices for scarce baby formula while illegals will get it easily, and for FREE. For the Biden Regime that’s a cheap & easy way to buy illegals’ votes.
It’s not Biden’s money that will pay for this … it’s YOURS.

I read an article today about Mexico being flush with all types of baby formula. Mexico, not the US. And off we go to Venezuela for oil while Biden is closing oil leases in the US. Looks like we are quickly turning into a 3rd world country. I am surprised by people who don't see all this as deliberate action taken by our own government to cripple us.

…another reason to nurse your Precious One for as long as possible [18 months, last one]
… no formula needed, mostly mushed avocados, Greek yogurt and bananas.

I remember oh so long ago, around March, when the doom and gloom crowd predicted food shortages. I just didn't realize that Diaper Joe and Democrats would start with starving infants first. Democrats are so PO'ed about Roe that they have created post birth abortion called starvation.

If three months ago the damned FDA could have avoided unnecessarily shutting down the formula plant. They had no evidence that there was any problem with the formula being manufactured. This was created entirely by the FDA fools screwing with a company without any legitimate basis . The FDA admitted that they found no problmes with the formula. They found a few bacteria but they didn't match the problem bacteria, and weren't in the formula production areas.
This is 100% on the fools in the FDA decidng that their power to shut down a company and wreck it was unfettered, and nobody could stop them. FDA seems to enjoy destroying.....lives, companies.

Babies survived before formula. For whatever reason, lies have been spread about the formula millions of babies thrived on in the '50's. Many women do not breastfeed but there are other options besides formula and I don't like the way people are trying to make those who don't breastfeed guilty of anything. How much more control do strangers want over a woman's body?

When you can do something to prevent babies from going without sufficient baby formula and you do nothing, you are evil. Let’s stop pussyfooting around and call Joe Biden and his cabal of committed leftists what they are, evil people only concerned with their far left agenda.
Can you imagine this happening under a Trump administration? It is the difference between an administration tuned into the needs of its citizens and one turned into the needs of pushing forward their anti-American agenda. Democrats are evil. Too harsh? Tell me what better describes this lawless bunch of soulless ghouls.

NOT the Military's job. Let the big grocery chains charter cargo planes if really necessary.
Plus, I bet Joe will get his 10% off of BOTH ends... From the overseas manufacturers, and from the US Distributors / retailers.

I keep wondering if the shutdown wasn't designed as a mechanism to grease the skids for the 'virtual breast milk' from Billy insta-Gates et. al. The timing went wrong when those geniuses discovered that it was harder than they thought it would be to make breast milk out of dandruff flakes and toe jam.

A complete failure of a presidency. The clowns running the show now in DC couldn't reload a toilet paper holder properly. The problem that we have is that since our leader is incompetent and unable to do anything successfully, we have incompetent II waiting in the wings. Que Mala would probably be worse than dementia Xiden. We are screwed no matter which way we go. The democRAT party, at this time, are incapable of doing anything right. Trump 2024.

Biden you cheater, you really blew it this time, pal. All you had to do was blame the baby formula shortage on Trump because his southern border wall is preventing illegals from transporting formula across the border. But you keep letting Trump skate. What's going on here? Does Obie need to invite himself to the WH again to straighten you out? sarc /off.

Rather than a lust to control women's bodies, I understand how many people automatically think breastfeeding is the answer. It is just simple ignorance of the many difficulties that can be encountered during breastfeeding. Most don't think of the brutal infant mortality before the 20th century. Mothers that could not bring in milk, or their babies did not thrive on their own mother's milk, required the services of a wet-nurse. Wealthy women usually had a servant that could provide the nutrition and poor women called into service a relative or friend.
This is another manufactured crisis by the Left in their cascade of crisis to fundamentally transform America. Whenever there is pushback their fall-back position is always that conservatives want to control women's bodies, when its the Left that is all about control and denying women the full potential of their bodies. Women give life and preserve life - the Left's goal is make it as hard as possible for women to fulfill their God-given responsibility to birth, nurture and raise the future. Its the Left that is after controlling women's bodies, not the Right.

Okay, I'm going to use too many capital letters, but it's necessary.
The UNITED STATES has to invoke the DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT to supply BABY FORMULA!!!!!?
How in heck did we win WW2, supply Berlin, feed our own military plus the Iraqi Army and the Kurds during the Gulf War, and aided any country that has been in crisis anytime during the last century?
(A plethora of exclamation points, too. Sorry.)

Exporting more U.S. dollars overseas, while shutting down American businesses. For just a modest 10% cut for the "Big Guy" of course.

The FDA has been slow, very very slow to address the problem.
Inspection reports by the Food and Drug Administration, as well as a 34-page whistleblower report from a former employee of Abbott Laboratories, suggest the FDA first became aware 'last fall' of suspected sanitation issues at an Abbott facility in Sturgis, Michigan. But it wasn’t until 'February' that the FDA inspected the plant and detected deadly bacteria inside the plant, that Abbott issued a voluntary recall – a drastic move that syphoned off a significant portion of the nation’s supply.
Months after that, concerns still remain about what is taking so long to get the facility running again safely, as families scramble for access to formula.
The FDA should have known the impact of keeping the producer of 40% of bay formula shut down for this long and alerted the administration. It is not clear if they failed to do so, or if it fell on deaf ears. Whomever drop the ball needs to be given their walking papers.

I believe that mothers are THE most entrepreneurial of us all. They have to be! A bunch of them will get together and start a new formula company and it will be better and healthier for the babies.

Was this the Left's plan/answer to Supremes rejection of Roe v Wade with the starvation of American babies? Looks like it with the FDA closing of 40% of the baby formula made in the U.S. The Left hates American babies. The Left is at spiritual war with women. (men in women's sports, men in women's bathroom's, men thinking they can be pregnant/birth.) The Left hates conservative women. The Left hates families. The Left hates American (America First) unity/sovereignty. They love destruction. They love perversion. They hate the Bible/goodness. They hate God.

And why can't private enterprise import from overseas?
1. Biden going after "price gouges" so it wouldn't be worth it.
2. FDA regulations on food labeling, etc
So now government has to come in to save the day instead of the free market. When it is that very government preventing a free market solution.

You think this is bad, Joe just signed control over to the WHO in the event of a health emergency that THEY can declare. The US Army will be under central world control for the duration. That's much worse than empty baby formula shelves.
