Too funny!!! However, if that doesn’t work, the babies can always disguise themselves as illegal aliens since we are sending pallets of baby formula to the border.
I just filled up bags left in my mailbox for the canned goods drive this Saturday.
Really peeved..understatement. …that a food drive is being held….while the Government is giving foreign invaders at our border—free food!
I live close to the border. How much of my “donation” of canned goods would be going there?
Horrible to have to question that….really sad.
Right now I have basically made my mind up to take what I have put in the bags and put in area near where I am at, that always have freebies out for people.
Back in the day, the pediatrician gave this ‘new mom’ a full size sample of formula, sometimes 2….at every visit. I did not buy formula for either of my first two kids, courtesy of the pediatrician.
In some ways,IMHO, formula is the new “vaccine” and other drugs being heavily marketed. And is way over priced. Back in the day, it was about $12 per can of powdered stuff. Now its close to or over $30.
Before those days, baby went on cow’s milk somewhere between 6-12 weeks. What happened? Allergies, I get it, preemies and post preemies, I get it…my healthy grandbabies gave it up at 8 months…
And down at the border? That goes beyond outrageous!

Baby formula (for the larger part) is more of a luxury than a necessity in MOST cases.
Unless boobs are just visual aids?
*Gasp*… People might have to raise their children!!!
There are many mothers who cannot breastfeed for physical reasons (either theirs or their babies). Your comment is unkind. Yes, breast milk is the best food for babies, but sometimes it just isn’t possible.
Nor is it always sufficient. My daughter breastfed her son, pumped and stored her milk … the whole deal. But … her pediatrician had her supplement with formula because her son wasn’t getting enough calories … he was falling behind on the weight standards. So she did both.
It is not nice to suggest that it’s “the breast” or you’re not a good mother. That’s simplistic and downright … mean.
There has been no tests to check on the safety of mothers that have been vaxed with poison, breastfeeding babies. Americans are refusing to vax their babies so this is the next step to putting in the babies in danger.
My friend has a baby and is currently on maternity leave. Work told her that if she doesn’t get the shot, she will lose her job and maternity leave payments. So, since she needs the money (mortgage, food, etc), she was forced to take the shot. How they can say it makes sense to force someone not going to the workplace, makes no sense. But then none of this makes any sense!
She said that the breast milk changed and the same with her friend who is breastfeeding and took the shot. At a minimum, it was a change in colour.
I’m pretty sure she kept breastfeeding, but if it was me I would have moved to formula at that point.

My late wife was a midwife who always went out of her way to help new mothers get into successful breastfeeding. She was frustrated not so much by struggling mothers but by nurses and doctors that were unhelpful. She saw this over forty years ago when our children were born. Many mothers with the right help and encouragement could have had the joy of successfully breastfeeding their children had medical staff been more helpful. I believe the situation is even worse today despite advancements in medicine.
I am a retired RN. Over two decades of that were spent either full-time or moonlighting in labor & delivery. Whenever a new patient would answer the “breast or bottle feed” question with “bottle”, I would ask if she had considered breastfeeding. Sometimes the mom had not put any real thought into the matter. Sometimes she lacked the confidence to try. Most of us nurses would try to help get the baby onto the breast within the first several minutes.
The choice to breastfeed was influenced by the peer group more than anything.
I am one of those whose breasts simply would not do what they were designed for. I was upset enough about that and have never received any kind of answer from doctors. How many are we? Is this a growing problem in our population?
Secondary to that was hearing MSM news this a.m. while doing chores telling people to not even consider trying to make their own baby formula. Of COURSE I would! Why aren’t they giving out recipes?
I look at life through the eyes of being a practical farmer. My comment was honest and I stand by what I said. What’s being added to it isn’t a “me” problem, it’s an issue for the other person(s).
But, since it was added I’ll go further because I’m not going to be subject others feelings, beliefs and especially words being put in my mouth.
My sympathy says… When thing don’t work as expected, it’s painful and unfortunate.
My empathy says… people are spoiled, lazy, they have children without thought, planning or care. Everything is just expected to “be” and when it isn’t, *gasp* it’s someone else’s fault.
It’s not just their children though, it’s everything about their self entitled little lives.
Simple facts…
Mother nature doesn’t care in the least, life is not easy, poor planning is just that, no second thought and unrealistic expectations SHOULD be a learning lesson.
Or, should the government (or someone) mandate seatbelts for everything? I find that nothing turns most “Republicans” into seething liberals like a little logic and common sense.
Conclusion, MANY people, shouldn’t have children. Not just for fact of the physical limitations but because, in my opinion they are incapable of actually planning a family, or raising children. They breed and feel entitled to do so and never think about it.
How’s that working out for society? Swimmingly!
Yeah I know, how dare I? But what do I do every day in my off time except raise mother’s to have babies.
What’s different here is two things.
Im applying logic and reason to objectively say what most Drs USE TO and SHOULD still do, which is tell their patients when…
A. They are no physical condition to have children.
B. The mother and child are going to suffer because of it.
C. State clearly why!!!
D. Ask basic questions about diet, nutrition and basic physical body condition that would be “insulting” but honest by todays standards.
E. Tell them to go do it!!!
The other, I’m saying flatly that people are horrible planners and don’t take the responsibility of raising a family seriously. If you are having a child, do you not expect to feed it?, I ask why don’t YOU already have a back up on hand? Where’s your supply of formula you COULD have had? Which I could follow with a lot of other questions like, how’s your nanny goat? Is you cow coming into milk? Did you line up a nursemaid?
Our family did ALL of those things at the same time because you don’t call something important and not have a back up and if it’s REALLY important, a back up to that back up!!!!
But I would also ask most people why there’s not a parentat home? Why are people not homeschooling? Why do people not have savings? Why do people not have food stores? Why do people not have basic medical supplies? Why are they in debit? And especially why if they are any of those things… Bring children into it?
I hope you had your Nomex underwear. There is a larger point. Yes, there are some that could breast feed and do not. There are some that can not. There would be less of a shortage if those that COULD had breast fed so that those that can not would not be put in this situation. But no one knew that this was a plan that was needed.
Apparently illegals at the border crossing have plenty of baby formula provided by the illegal occupant of the WH……border agent tells of unloading pallets of baby formula….agents told not to take formula home.
Oh, and the same illegal occupant just cancelled 3 large oil leases…one in AK, the other two in the Gulf of Mexico….all towards his goal of shutting down ALL drilling in US.
From an article I read yesterday, which I cannot find today because search engines are so pathetic, the FDA shut down Abbott a few months ago, and had refused to allow them to re-open.
Abbott denied any of the formula they produce was contaminated or the cause of death in 2 infants and illness in others. They also said any contamination the FDA found was in areas where there is no contact with the formula they produce.
Of course, both FDA and CDC claim otherwise, with misleading information released about contamination.
It is interesting that the FDA suddenly yesterday allowed Abbott to release some of their formula which FDA agrees was not affected.
One gets the sense that absolute morons at FDA were flexing their regulatory muscle and bending the facts to suit their actions.
And there are reports today that the babies that got sick did not have the same strain of infection that was detected in the plant in non-formula-contact areas.
That may have been the article I read. Thanks VibeMan.
Edited to add: Nope. That wasn’t the article. It has even more detail than the one I read.
When you search on the FDA shutting down Abbott, you find press releases from the FDA and CDC strongly suggesting the bacterial contamination IS from their formula.

That is funny……but not. My daughter called yesterday and said she can’t find any formula for my grandson. She has one week supply left and there is only one brand that he can have. She lives in a small town and relies on mail order but all of her normal places she orders from says “out of stock.” She said if worse comes to worse she will just have to wean him off of formula early. He’s 10.5 months old so he will survive but what about someone’s 3 month old?
Honestly, I do not see how unless something drastic happens……at this point, taking the House and the Senate will notout be enough…..this group in DC will carry out their ‘mission’ …..ignoring the legislative branch……and trust it to 2-tier legal system and lag time between execution of their edicts and court decisions. I hope I’m wrong about what legislative branch will do if we have a majority.
I’ll be brutal about it. People in small towns and rural areas will adapt. There is goat and cow milk to replace formula for those that can’t breast feed. People have been doing this for thousands of years, we just have a couple of generations of soft people that don’t have a clue if it isn’t on the shelf.
Yes, there will be a lot of suffering and death, but such is life and the way it goes. It’s our turn now. There isn’t a way to vote ourselves out of it. We are to far past the tipping point, and starting the tumble. The only question that remains is how much s*** is broken when we hit bottom.

A quick online search will tell you that the FDA does not recommend homemade formula. I consider the FDA to be irrelevant. If I needed to supplement with formula, I would certainly make my own rather than wait for shortages to stop. Here’s one website with some helpful information: https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/video-homemade-milk-based-baby-formula/
Before the introduction of commercial baby formula, most mothers who could not breastfeed, or who chose not to, would make formula for their child at home. The recipes for homemade baby formula almost always included Karo syrup as an ingredient. While the syrup is not approved for feeding babies today, it’s interesting to know how such a common ingredient was used to feed infants in the past.
Bring 20 oz. of water to a rolling boil and let boil for five minutes. You will only need 18 oz., but this allows for some evaporation of the water.
Measure 18 oz. of the boiled water into a large measuring cup.
Cover the measuring cup with a paper towel or a saucepan lid that will completely cover the top of the cup. Allow the water to cool to room temperature.
Add in 1 can (13 oz.) of evaporated milk and 2 tbsp. of light Karo syrup. Stir until well-blended.
Pour into a sterilized half-gallon jar or bottles and store in the refrigerator until needed.
Tips
Breastfeeding is the best way to ensure that your baby receives all of the nutritional needs.
Any light-colored corn syrup can be substituted for the Karo brand. Dark corn syrup is not recommended for this recipe.
I call on everyone to help with constructive ideas!
1. Evaporated Milk Baby Formula SubstituteThis recipe is for traditional emergency formula (just like Grandma used to make). One standard-sized 13-ounce can of evaporated milk can make a full quart of emergency formula. The process is simple, fast, and—best of all—does not compromise your child’s health.
As Dr. Andrew J. Schuman writes in his article, “A Concise History of Infant Formula,” this is the exact recipe that was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s for infants who were not breastfed. Please remember, though, that this homemade formula is not a long-term solution since it lacks the necessary vitamins. Parents in the 50s and 60s gave their infants supplemental vitamins and iron along with this formula, as noted by Dr. Schuman. Supplies Needed
Clean quart container
13 oz. can of evaporated whole milk (reduced fat, skim, and sweetened condensed milk will not provide enough calories or nutrition)
18–19 oz. of water
2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar or 1 tablespoon of light Karo syrup
Instructions
Combine the above ingredients into the quart container.
Stir until the sugar or light syrup is fully dissolved. The added sugar will help your child break down the proteins in the evaporated milk.
After serving your child, any remaining emergency formula should be refrigerated.
Any unused formula should be discarded after three days.
—
—
Congratulations! You have saved the day (or night) and have something safe to feed your baby until you can go to the store and pick up commercial-grade formula. Warning: Never Use Honey
Do not use honey in place of the sugar or syrup for infants under 12 months old. The risk of botulism is too high.
2. Dairy-Free Emergency Formula for Sensitive StomachsUnfortunately, not all infants are able to process the lactose in the cow’s milk that evaporated milk is derived from. For parents with babies who have sensitive stomachs, try this recipe as a dairy-free alternative.
Rice milk has long been used as a supplement for infants and has the added benefit of making your child feel full. It does not, however, contain all of the needed vitamins, proteins, and fats that specialized formulas provide to your child, and it should not be used as a primary source of nutrition.
Supplies Needed
1 cup of cooked rice (can be any type of rice, but brown rice has more nutritional value)
4 cups of water
2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar
Blender
Instructions
Combine all ingredients into the blender.
Blend until all ingredients are completely liquefied. It will take around 5 minutes for this process to be completed using a standard blender.
After serving your child, any unused portions should be refrigerated.
Discard all remaining formula after two days.
A Reminder About SafetyThe evaporated and rice milk emergency formulas are not substitutes for commercial-grade formulas or breastmilk, as they do not include the additional vitamin supplements needed to ensure long-lasting health in your baby. If you need to use this formula for more than a few days in an emergency situation, please know that you will need to add vitamin drops. You should always consult your physician about your child’s dietary needs when possible.
re brown rice… all rice contains arsenic to varying degrees. the rice with the least amount of arsenic is Minute Rice or any of the other instant rice brands.
So formula is dehydrated milk with ADDED sugar and vitamins. Who needs that much sugar? No wonder we’re all diabetic – raised on sugar-formula. There are some great organic powdered milk products out there that I’ve seen, add liquid vitamins and ??? instead of sugar? electrolytes? BTW, A2 milk is similar to lactose-free.
Whole milk is lower in carbs than breast milk, mostly lactose. You need to add a bit of sugar since you can’t buy lactose. Yes, typical breast milk is higher in sugar than whole milk.
The socialists are waaay unhappy about that $40 billion.
From the Worldwide Socialist Website (not kidding) :
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, representing the party establishment, declared during the debate over the legislation, “When you’re home thinking about what [$40 billion to Ukraine] is all about, just think about ‘When I was hungry, you fed me’ from the Gospel of Matthew.”
Actually, the proper response from working people to the gospel of Pelosi would be, “When I was hungry, you spent the money on guns, not butter.”
The Ministry of Truth video was hilarious and frightening at the same time. The left has gone mad with their desire to control.

Illegal aliens will often receive extra food and supplies from the US government, including the free baby formula. Many times these extra supplies are sold by the illegal aliens for cash. A double-whammy for the US taxpayer.
The mothers coming over the border probably don’t need the formula. Chances are that they breastfeed their babies. At least that is how things worked a few years ago.

I have been told that pallets of baby food have been delivered to the Mexican border
Worries about feeding your baby are over! POTATUS and his clown car are on it!
According to this article, Joetatoe held a closed-to-the-press meeting today on this, and has announced they are streamlining the process to import more baby formula from Mexico and other places.
Of course, they seem to blame supply chain issues for the shortage currently, but do not explain how importing will overcome those supply chain issues.
They also blame mothers for buying too much formula in April.
This is the best satire yet! It gave me a long, long laugh, and the urge to share it. Laughter is the key to disarming the wannabe tyrants with their endless sophistries, their constant fake rage, their arrogance, hypocrisy and cluelessness.

The shortage in formula is due to two things. The Similac plant produced specialty formulas for babies with special health needs. There may be limited substitutes to replace the missing production. The supplies of regular formulas were adequate until the publicity about the formula shortage created a toilet paper like run at the grocers and a temporary shortage across all formulas that still persists. Had the government done an emergency program to rapidly inspect and assist in correction to restore production in the affected plant we would not be talking about this.

This example of Babylon satire is clever, humorous, infuriating and convincingly critical of the Biden Junta’s disgraceful priorities. It is a brilliant and effective combination. This is why the Twitter hacks censored them.
The satire above applies equally (or maybe more) to the corrupt and/or dopey Leadership of the GOP and all the GOP Reps that obediently voted Yes on another outrageous Pelosi Bill.

Even the Babylon Bee cannot make me laugh anymore.
“They” are determined – DETERMINED – to provoke us to violence, in order to release their paid goons in a kinetic war against us on our own turf.
For most of my life I did not believe the End Times prophecies – until I did.
In the 21st century, those prophecies are starting to materialize right before our eyes.
I never imagined living to see this day that I thought would never come.
Almighty Lord, please have mercy on the soul of this sinner.
Forgive me for my faithlessness,
and for the the horrifying things I want to see inflicted on the perpetrators of this worldwide horror.
Please allow me to see, comprehend, and take the action that you would have me do.
In the Name of Your Son, and my Savior, Jesus Christ.
God bless and safeguard all of our CTH friends and fellow travelers.
You have been and continue to be my touchstone of sanity.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN. I pulled out my Bible Study Fellowship study of Revelations from a few years back. Teaching it to my 16 year old daughter. No matter what happens in this world, she will be prepared and steadied to know that it was all in God’s Plan. Come, Lord Jesus, come. And in the meantime… equip us to do what You would have us do. I ask humbly that if it be Your Will, You would save our nation.

O.K..No baby formula and pallets of baby formula have been shipped to the border. Biden has now united moms everywhere in the United States in outrage. He will never survive this fiasco. There is a limit and it begins with our children. It is over for him. I hate him and my children are well past formula.
Too funny!!! However, if that doesn’t work, the babies can always disguise themselves as illegal aliens since we are sending pallets of baby formula to the border.

Apparently illegals at the border crossing have plenty of baby formula provided by the illegal occupant of the WH……border agent tells of unloading pallets of baby formula….agents told not to take formula home.
Oh, and the same illegal occupant just cancelled 3 large oil leases…one in AK, the other two in the Gulf of Mexico….all towards his goal of shutting down ALL drilling in US.

This bunch in DC MUST be stopped at all costs as they proceed to destroy America step by step.
Wonder if this will make more people realize…
Biden and Kiddies In DC–
American citizens are Not their priority.
The illegals have top priority. They can’t replace us if the babies aren’t fed/s😒
There ya go – the BBB hits another outta the park, biggly like!!!
Oh .. and f-you (F)reakishly (D)eranged &(A)ddled !
I read that the FDA still has baby formula producer Abbott shut down for no reason.
and refuses to let it re-open
From an article I read yesterday, which I cannot find today because search engines are so pathetic, the FDA shut down Abbott a few months ago, and had refused to allow them to re-open.
Abbott denied any of the formula they produce was contaminated or the cause of death in 2 infants and illness in others. They also said any contamination the FDA found was in areas where there is no contact with the formula they produce.
Of course, both FDA and CDC claim otherwise, with misleading information released about contamination.
It is interesting that the FDA suddenly yesterday allowed Abbott to release some of their formula which FDA agrees was not affected.
One gets the sense that absolute morons at FDA were flexing their regulatory muscle and bending the facts to suit their actions.
And there are reports today that the babies that got sick did not have the same strain of infection that was detected in the plant in non-formula-contact areas.

That may have been the article I read. Thanks VibeMan.
Edited to add: Nope. That wasn’t the article. It has even more detail than the one I read.
When you search on the FDA shutting down Abbott, you find press releases from the FDA and CDC strongly suggesting the bacterial contamination IS from their formula.
That is funny……but not. My daughter called yesterday and said she can’t find any formula for my grandson. She has one week supply left and there is only one brand that he can have. She lives in a small town and relies on mail order but all of her normal places she orders from says “out of stock.” She said if worse comes to worse she will just have to wean him off of formula early. He’s 10.5 months old so he will survive but what about someone’s 3 month old?
Can this country really wait until 2024?
Can this country really wait until 2024?
Honestly, I do not see how unless something drastic happens……at this point, taking the House and the Senate will notout be enough…..this group in DC will carry out their ‘mission’ …..ignoring the legislative branch……and trust it to 2-tier legal system and lag time between execution of their edicts and court decisions. I hope I’m wrong about what legislative branch will do if we have a majority.
I’ll be brutal about it. People in small towns and rural areas will adapt. There is goat and cow milk to replace formula for those that can’t breast feed. People have been doing this for thousands of years, we just have a couple of generations of soft people that don’t have a clue if it isn’t on the shelf.
Yes, there will be a lot of suffering and death, but such is life and the way it goes. It’s our turn now. There isn’t a way to vote ourselves out of it. We are to far past the tipping point, and starting the tumble. The only question that remains is how much s*** is broken when we hit bottom.
If anyone has any doubt about this being intentional, you need to get your head checked.
They want a violent insurrection. I think we’re going to try to hold out until the next election cycle but these people aren’t even hiding it.
I believe you are absolutely correct, Daniel.
THEY ARE TRYING TO BREAK US.
Comedy is funniest when it contains a grain of truth.
This was hilarious!
I keep asking people with their Ukraine flags what about the American babies? Kill them is what they are showing us.
A quick online search will tell you that the FDA does not recommend homemade formula. I consider the FDA to be irrelevant. If I needed to supplement with formula, I would certainly make my own rather than wait for shortages to stop. Here’s one website with some helpful information: https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/video-homemade-milk-based-baby-formula/
Quite frankly I wouldn’t believe one word from the FDA and find a good recipe for homemade formula if I had no other choice.
From the Hello Motherhood website:
Before the introduction of commercial baby formula, most mothers who could not breastfeed, or who chose not to, would make formula for their child at home. The recipes for homemade baby formula almost always included Karo syrup as an ingredient. While the syrup is not approved for feeding babies today, it’s interesting to know how such a common ingredient was used to feed infants in the past.
Bring 20 oz. of water to a rolling boil and let boil for five minutes. You will only need 18 oz., but this allows for some evaporation of the water.
Measure 18 oz. of the boiled water into a large measuring cup.
Cover the measuring cup with a paper towel or a saucepan lid that will completely cover the top of the cup. Allow the water to cool to room temperature.
Add in 1 can (13 oz.) of evaporated milk and 2 tbsp. of light Karo syrup. Stir until well-blended.
Pour into a sterilized half-gallon jar or bottles and store in the refrigerator until needed.
Tips
Breastfeeding is the best way to ensure that your baby receives all of the nutritional needs.
Any light-colored corn syrup can be substituted for the Karo brand. Dark corn syrup is not recommended for this recipe.
Thanks I sent that link around!
Note: I can not tell you, how good or bad this is, but maybe this will help someone.
How to make Baby Formula
https://wehavekids.com/parenting/Emergency-Baby-Formula
I call on everyone to help with constructive ideas!
1. Evaporated Milk Baby Formula SubstituteThis recipe is for traditional emergency formula (just like Grandma used to make). One standard-sized 13-ounce can of evaporated milk can make a full quart of emergency formula. The process is simple, fast, and—best of all—does not compromise your child’s health.
As Dr. Andrew J. Schuman writes in his article, “A Concise History of Infant Formula,” this is the exact recipe that was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s for infants who were not breastfed. Please remember, though, that this homemade formula is not a long-term solution since it lacks the necessary vitamins. Parents in the 50s and 60s gave their infants supplemental vitamins and iron along with this formula, as noted by Dr. Schuman.

Congratulations! You have saved the day (or night) and have something safe to feed your baby until you can go to the store and pick up commercial-grade formula.
Warning: Never Use Honey
Do not use honey in place of the sugar or syrup for infants under 12 months old. The risk of botulism is too high.
2. Dairy-Free Emergency Formula for Sensitive StomachsUnfortunately, not all infants are able to process the lactose in the cow’s milk that evaporated milk is derived from. For parents with babies who have sensitive stomachs, try this recipe as a dairy-free alternative.
Rice milk has long been used as a supplement for infants and has the added benefit of making your child feel full. It does not, however, contain all of the needed vitamins, proteins, and fats that specialized formulas provide to your child, and it should not be used as a primary source of nutrition.
Supplies Needed
Instructions
A Reminder About SafetyThe evaporated and rice milk emergency formulas are not substitutes for commercial-grade formulas or breastmilk, as they do not include the additional vitamin supplements needed to ensure long-lasting health in your baby. If you need to use this formula for more than a few days in an emergency situation, please know that you will need to add vitamin drops. You should always consult your physician about your child’s dietary needs when possible.
Any Baby doctors out there?
re brown rice… all rice contains arsenic to varying degrees. the rice with the least amount of arsenic is Minute Rice or any of the other instant rice brands.
So formula is dehydrated milk with ADDED sugar and vitamins. Who needs that much sugar? No wonder we’re all diabetic – raised on sugar-formula. There are some great organic powdered milk products out there that I’ve seen, add liquid vitamins and ??? instead of sugar? electrolytes? BTW, A2 milk is similar to lactose-free.
Whole milk is lower in carbs than breast milk, mostly lactose. You need to add a bit of sugar since you can’t buy lactose. Yes, typical breast milk is higher in sugar than whole milk.
Watch this corrupt government shut down factories producing evaporated milk
Barley and barley water is even more nutricious. My husband was given a barley formula as a baby because he was allergic to milk.
Glad I’m in Cancun on vacation! Live your best lives! F J B!!
I had a good laugh at this, but I realize it’s gallows humor and not all at funny to families who need formula (and many do for a variety of reasons).
I have weird thoughts to this formula shortage: The admin pushes the idea, ‘gotta keep them abortions coming cause there’s no food for the babies.’
It ain’t a joke when the bullet hits the bone.
The socialists are waaay unhappy about that $40 billion.
From the Worldwide Socialist Website (not kidding) :
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, representing the party establishment, declared during the debate over the legislation, “When you’re home thinking about what [$40 billion to Ukraine] is all about, just think about ‘When I was hungry, you fed me’ from the Gospel of Matthew.”
Actually, the proper response from working people to the gospel of Pelosi would be, “When I was hungry, you spent the money on guns, not butter.”
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/05/12/qdsd-m12.html
Maybe they’ll try to field some candidates on a socialist party ticket. The Democrats are not working out so well for them.
“When I was hungry, you fed me”.
Someone tell Nan, that line of scripture wasn’t referring to her hungry bank accounts! 😂
Sundance retweet…
“The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula.
The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.
This is what America last looks like.”
Perfect!
The Ministry of Truth video was hilarious and frightening at the same time. The left has gone mad with their desire to control.
Beautiful.
Once upon a time we had an “America First” President..
Now we have one who cares about “America Last!”
Illegal aliens will often receive extra food and supplies from the US government, including the free baby formula. Many times these extra supplies are sold by the illegal aliens for cash. A double-whammy for the US taxpayer.
The mothers coming over the border probably don’t need the formula. Chances are that they breastfeed their babies. At least that is how things worked a few years ago.
I have been told that pallets of baby food have been delivered to the Mexican border
Thank you Senator Paul and Senator Kennedy:

Worries about feeding your baby are over! POTATUS and his clown car are on it!
According to this article, Joetatoe held a closed-to-the-press meeting today on this, and has announced they are streamlining the process to import more baby formula from Mexico and other places.
Of course, they seem to blame supply chain issues for the shortage currently, but do not explain how importing will overcome those supply chain issues.
They also blame mothers for buying too much formula in April.

This is the best satire yet! It gave me a long, long laugh, and the urge to share it. Laughter is the key to disarming the wannabe tyrants with their endless sophistries, their constant fake rage, their arrogance, hypocrisy and cluelessness.
The shortage in formula is due to two things. The Similac plant produced specialty formulas for babies with special health needs. There may be limited substitutes to replace the missing production. The supplies of regular formulas were adequate until the publicity about the formula shortage created a toilet paper like run at the grocers and a temporary shortage across all formulas that still persists. Had the government done an emergency program to rapidly inspect and assist in correction to restore production in the affected plant we would not be talking about this.
This example of Babylon satire is clever, humorous, infuriating and convincingly critical of the Biden Junta’s disgraceful priorities. It is a brilliant and effective combination. This is why the Twitter hacks censored them.
The satire above applies equally (or maybe more) to the corrupt and/or dopey Leadership of the GOP and all the GOP Reps that obediently voted Yes on another outrageous Pelosi Bill.
“Illegal migrants first to get ‘pallets’ of hard-to-find baby formula”

Oh wait, no worries– the Village Idiot residing in the WH is going to get right on it … 🙄
MAL (Make America Last)
Mal also meaning bad. Quite appropriate. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
WHY can’t babies drink milk? What did they do in the early 1900’s if a mother could not product breast milk? Is Formula just more Big Pharma>>>>>??????????
Even the Babylon Bee cannot make me laugh anymore.
“They” are determined – DETERMINED – to provoke us to violence, in order to release their paid goons in a kinetic war against us on our own turf.
For most of my life I did not believe the End Times prophecies – until I did.
In the 21st century, those prophecies are starting to materialize right before our eyes.
I never imagined living to see this day that I thought would never come.
Almighty Lord, please have mercy on the soul of this sinner.
Forgive me for my faithlessness,
and for the the horrifying things I want to see inflicted on the perpetrators of this worldwide horror.
Please allow me to see, comprehend, and take the action that you would have me do.
In the Name of Your Son, and my Savior, Jesus Christ.
God bless and safeguard all of our CTH friends and fellow travelers.
You have been and continue to be my touchstone of sanity.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN. I pulled out my Bible Study Fellowship study of Revelations from a few years back. Teaching it to my 16 year old daughter. No matter what happens in this world, she will be prepared and steadied to know that it was all in God’s Plan. Come, Lord Jesus, come. And in the meantime… equip us to do what You would have us do. I ask humbly that if it be Your Will, You would save our nation.
I’m thinking of leaving the country and heading to a different border to come back in as an alien to get all the free stuff. Do we still have to have passports to migrate?
Why would we think that Biden and the Democrat party would be concerned about babies getting formula, Biden and the Democrat party voted to abort them?
They will continue to kill babies not just by abortion but now they will starve them to death without blinking an eye.
So many impeachable offenses, I stopped counting… all the while WEF, bathhouse barry and the other Godless parasites r laughing all the way to the banc…
Soooooo IMPEACHABLE. It is SHAMEFUL and truly the acts of a war criminal.
Biden did that:

O.K..No baby formula and pallets of baby formula have been shipped to the border. Biden has now united moms everywhere in the United States in outrage. He will never survive this fiasco. There is a limit and it begins with our children. It is over for him. I hate him and my children are well past formula.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/border-detention-center-receiving-pallets-of-baby-formula-amid-shortage-lawmaker-says/ar-AAXcKvC
Alas, it’s a GOP Establishment priority too.
But then again they answer to the same bosses as Biden.
The CCP? The WEF? The BIS? All of the foregoing?
Maybe this will help hammer the truth into some people’s heads that you and your kids are the carbon they want to reduce.
