Nutjob Far Right "News" Site Claims baby Formula Shortage Is A Left Wing Plot To Destroy America


This is where we are at. 


The nationwide share of out-of-stock baby formula hit 40 percent in April. Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota, seemingly hardest hit by the shortages, reported out-of-stock rates of about 50 percent.

Red states are hardest hit – especially Texas, which has an ongoing feud with the Biden regime over the border.

This would be an atrocious action on Biden’s watch but given the nutcases appointed by Biden, it would not surprise.

The baby formula shortage looks to be intentional- updated: there's lots of formula for illegals - Flopping Aces

There is no bottom , or any rational explanation, to the behavior by the crazed political right.  Its funny to hear them talk about liberals being obsessed with Trump, when their obsession with attacking Biden , often with fake news, is way off the charts. 

There used to be a time when something like a baby formula shortage would bring the country together to find a solution. These days it is simply an excuse to blame the federal government.

what did we ever do with ourselves before conspiracies became popular?  Life must have been so boring.

Maybe he should talk with Greg Abbott, the top asshat of Texas,  why he stopped shipments of everything coming into the states from Mexico? Wanna know why your produce is more scarce and costs more? Ask Abbott.

Somebody has to take the blame for when the right fubars it.

The US imports an extremely small about of baby formula in part because of high import tariffs.

high import tariffs.

Which is just another way to say, tax the consumer.

In this case, it's more, deny the consumer.

There have been truckloads of drugs and immigrants stopped on this side of the border since forever.  Less than a decade ago, less than 10 percent of trucks were inspected.  Of the 10 percent that were inspected, close to 90 percent had contraband.  To the best of my knowledge, this resulted in there being far fewer inspections, not more.

If media is reporting the amounts of contraband are miniscule in today's world, I don't believe them.

Abbott's secondary searches were of every truck. They found some oil leaks, flat tires, and zero drugs and immigrants.It cost Texas alone some 4 billion dollars in lost commerce.

Part of the shortage is the FDA's slow walking.................

  • Abbott Laboratories claims its Michigan plant is not responsible for bacteria that killed at least two infants
  • The baby formula manufacturer alleged an FDA investigation revealed 'infant formula produced at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection'
  • Abbott claims products from the facility did not cause any bacterial outbreak 
  • The plant still remains closed despite the findings after shutting down in February amid a major product recall 
  • Abbott says it's 'working closely with the FDA to restart operations' at the plant as parents across the nation are struggling to get formula for their babies

Why is biggest baby formula plant in US STILL shut down after three months? Abbott says plant is safe and was not responsible for bacteria that killed two kids - but FDA refuses to reopen it as parents across US struggle to feed their babies

"An Abbott spokesperson told DailyMail.com Tuesday that 'thorough investigation' by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) and Abbott revealed 'infant formula produced at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection in the reported cases and that there was not an outbreak caused by products from the facility'.

However, despite the findings of the investigation, the plant remains shuttered nearly three months later, fueling the nationwide baby formula shortage."

Yep. It's interesting, in a sad way, that the FDA won't allow importation of formula from the EU, but by god, we can import the milk from which the formula is made.
