More than 70,000 pounds of baby formula arrived in the United States on Sunday via military aircraft, President Joe Biden announced, as his top economics adviser pledged stores could see replenished supplies 'as early as this week.' The shipment from the US military's Ramstein Air Base in Germany is the first in Biden's Operation Fly Formula program, aimed at ramping up international imports of baby formula to raise US supply. It's one of several measures the president unveiled to mitigate the increasingly dire baby formula shortage that's plaguing Americans nationwide - which has already led to multiple reports of hospitalized children.

What a disgusting headline.
From the strongest, wealthiest, most independent nation on the planet...
Reduced to begging and hand outs.
When do we start arresting and executing ALL demoncraps for treason?
By August there will be nothing left of the nation once called America.
COME ON!
DO SOMETHING!!!!

1, they're doing something. Everything is going exactly according to plan.
Next up is some hoax event blamed on Putin and we directly attack Russia with American forces.

FJB to the rescue. Just in time for the midterms. Meanwhile, production in the US is still at a standstill. Government dependency grows.

#2 American public servants, American Patriot military personnel, the "white hats" in positions of power and authority, need to do something.
This is not a movie.
These are not actors.
This is not a game.
This is not a drill.
Someone better get busy, mobilizing American Patriots across the land and GET TO WORK!

I hear that there are pallets of this stuff down on the border and that they're giving it away for free.

Think about that. 70,000 pounds. About a one week supply for maybe 1% of American babies. What then?

A USAF C-17 landed and departed unusually from Eglin AFB Fl yesterday afternoon flew right over my house. I’m assuming this is to make sure Biden could stage his perfect FAKE baby formula photo op today. What a bogus moment for all USAF members and retirees. Using USAF assets for the Berlin Airlift Biden style- what an embarrassment!

No shortage of Children to buy on the open market(Ukraine is a major exporter), in fact the practice is Federally Subsidized...just a shortage of Formula to feed them which is an industry now being Nationalized(and subsidized)

Asked when the formula would be on the shelves, the economic advisor replied “I don’t know, I’m not a watchmaker!”
Asked what time it was, the biden watchmaker said, “I don’t know, I’m not a planetary astrophysicist!”
Asked what he would say to the president of north kornpop, biden replied “Hello!! ….. Period! [with thanks to Greg Gutfeld!]”

Government is here to help. Create a problem, screw up a solution. That's too big, overbearing, annoying, incompetent government.

Stupid to have the government involved in this.
The government has CAUSED this problem, 100%. Get the government the hell out of the way and let the free market handle this. It will be over far more quickly. First thing....let the prices of the formula float wherever the free market says it should be - supply and demand changes prices.
If the prices rise due to the shortage, that is a signal to other companies to put on more workers, or open a new line, produce more. If the government short circuits this whole free market process - which is exactly what these Marxist idiots are doing, then there will be no increase in supply.
Another thing that a price increase (which is normal in shortages) would do is persuade some mothers who CAN use alternatives (extend breast feeding, or use home mixed milk/corn syrup/vitamin alternatives) to do that instead, leaving the formula (albeit at a bit higher price) for those who MUST have it, those who it isn't just a convenience.
Get the government out of it. They HAVE messed it up and will CONTINUE to make it worse. This is certain.

Abbot was faced with another "John Nestor" at the FDA, even after it was proven that NONE of the sick kids was caused by Similac manufacturing practices/products/safety standards...while Nestor became famous for causing monster Traffic Jams in DC by driving 55mph in the fast lane "Following the letter of the Law 100%", his tenure at the FDA was famous for not approving a SINGLE new drug for cardiac and renal diseases because none was "100% Perfect" regardless of the harm happening without them

If you do not prep you had better start. It does not end here. It starts here. Control our ability to be
mobile - check. Control food - working on it as fast as they can. Rolling blackouts this summer - we have been warned. Massive treason in the WH. How can we go from Trump's accomplishments to this s*** show without it being a very deliberate plan?

No one should ever forget that Biden's government bureaucrats shut down the Michigan formula facility months ago. Why they failed to prioritize getting it up and running again hasn't been answered, but meeting the needs of American babies clearly wasn't a priority. The babies Democrat Bureaucrats worry about belong to the families biden "invited" to come to the US and seek asylum. He said they deserved to be heard.
He has had no interest in hearing from Americans since his first day in office.

#16 it is treason in the white house and other branches of government as well.
There are American Patriots in positions of power and authority that can do something.
I'm baffled as to why they are letting it continue. This is not just displeasure with an administration, new regulations or bad decision making.
This is clearly treason.
How can it be allowed to continue?
How can any sane person believe another election will change anything?
How can any sane person believe we will continue to exist as a nation much longer?

What has happened to the bureaucrat(s) at the FDA that caused this crisis by shutting down 40% of the industry? Bring out the Wesley Mouch; a public shaming is in order. Will the FDA even avknowledge their part in this?
And why didn't the shipment go straight to a Wal-Mart warehouse? They would have it on shelves within 24 hours with their amazing just-in-time inventory and distribution system. Of course, plain ol' American citizens would be buying it.

You all realize this is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount actually needed? It's all about the photos of supply granted by the magnanimous Hand of Biden, not actually supply sufficient to meed demand.

#12, #19: from what I read , from other reports, this shipment will not go to retail shelves. It’s going to institutions ( e.g, hospital & group care facilities) once more, the average citizen takes second, or third place.

70,000 pounds
Isn't that about ONE truck?
Maybe Fadin' Joe should do a photo op as one truck rolls down I-95.

I have long suspected that this ''shortage'' was created willfully by the WH/FDA so that Biden and his minions could empty the warehouses and send it all to the border and to Ukraine. There is no excuse for these shortages, and now innocent babies are paying the price. There was a simple fix for this, they could have returned what they sent to the border and distribute it to the stores in all the states that have shortages.

That’s a drop in the bucket when you determine how much baby formula is used everyday across the entire USA. The shortage of baby formula is all on Biden as it was the Biden FDA that closed the baby formula manufacturing plant months ago that supplied over 40% of all the baby formula used in the USA, obviously with no plan to replace all the discontinued to be manufactured baby formula. Biden won’t be able to blame the King of MAGA for that incompetence.

I'm sure the US government paid ten times going retail cost for the formula.

This is just ONE STATE!
What about the other states? What will they do?
The media will be acting like the crisis is over!
Is there an election coming up in Indiana??
Time for some other 'shiny object' be produced hoping to make FJB look like some sort of hero?
