Biden's Formula Crisis
America's baby formula crisis is continuing with no end in sight. It's almost impossible to imagine the anxiety that parents with newborns, as well as pregnant women just days away from their due dates, are feeling right now knowing there may not be an adequate food supply for their infants.
There are stories emerging all over the country of desperate moms and dads driving for hours, burning Joe Biden's $4.50 a gallon gas, trying to find a store with baby formula for their infants.
For four years, I worked closely with the Trump White House. I have no doubt what Donald Trump would do if this happened under his watch.
He would bring in the CEOs of the formula manufacturing companies and demand answers. He would tell the FDA bureaucrats, whose regulations are causing much of this crisis, that they have 48 hours to fix this or they're fired.
Of course, the media would howl about Trump's "heavy-handed" and "authoritarian" tactics. But American mothers wouldn't be worried about how they're going to feed their babies today.
So, what is the Biden Administration doing? Not much, evidently. The White House can't even name their point person who is supposedly coordinating a solution to this crisis.
This week, liberals rapidly moved legislation to the Senate floor. It was a bill allowing abortion on demand during all nine months of pregnancy. That was Chuck Schumer's priority. (More on that below.)
How about Speaker Nancy Pelosi? She's always telling us how much she cares about children. Well, House progressives announced yesterday that they will hold hearings on the baby formula crisis . . . in two weeks!
When Joe Biden requested more money for Ukraine, Washington politicians quickly approved a $40 billion aid package. One observer suggested that maybe America's mothers should dress their babies in Ukrainian army uniforms if they want to get the attention of congressional liberals.
One House conservative has discovered pallets and pallets of baby formula. But there's just one problem. The Biden Administration has shipped it all to the southern border, so it can be given to illegal aliens.
This is what America looks like with a president who puts our country last.
