We keep funding Ukraine, Europe keeps funding Russia through their natural gas & oil purchases - the war continues and innocent people will continue dying.
Still not even a mention of peace talks led by the US
Totally agree with you. Especially since this perverted clown Zelensky was put in to power by the very worst of the evil globalist ever known to man.

How did we pay for this?
It's money we don't have so we printed it and added it to the $29 trillion dollar debt.
Totally disagree.
I'd rather weaponize Ukraine's fighters than have to send our own down the road.
This is cheap compared to what it will cost us later.
Only, no.
Here ya go ....
Boozman’s up this Year. Otherwise it’s yea.
The shortage is due to contamination, which can occur outside of a factory, such as an opened container not promptly used.
“Cronobacter, which used to be called Enterobacter sakazakii, is a germ that can live in very dry places. Cronobacter has been found in dry foods, like powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas, and starches.”

“In November 2011, several shipments of Kotex tampons were recalled due to a Cronobacter (E. sakazakii) contamination. In one study, the pathogen was found in 12% of field vegetables and 13% of hydroponic vegetables.”

“The bacterium is ubiquitous.”
Congress is in on the take....and, We the Taxpayers/Deplorables are footing the entire bill.
The FDA admitted the Abbott lab wasn’t even contaminated, yet, closed them down.
All by design.
Hate them both...and OK is DEEP RED!!
And Trump’s reaction is.....?
“peace talks led by the US”
You were expecting leadership from a person who puts a ‘lid’ on his daily work early in the morning?
BINGO
The FDA Was Making It Difficult For Moms To Get Baby Formula Long Before The Supply Chain Imploded

The formula shortage is finally bringing attention to the FDA’s labeling games that have angered many moms for years.
Months after distressed moms have been vocally upset and concerned about the baby formula shortage, the media is finally starting to ask, how could this happen? The short answer is lockdown supply chains and the shutdown of one of the country's largest formula plants in Michigan over an alleged bacterial outbreak.
The long answer is that, unlike the problem of sky-rocketing lumber prices or your West Elm furniture stuck on cargo ships, this crisis is intertwined with an already highly regulated industry and a bureaucratic agency that has been the enemy of postpartum moms well before the pandemic.
As the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is quick to point out, they do not “approve” infant formula, but they do require manufacturers to meet certain requirements to be considered “FDA-registered.” The nutrition and quality control requirements for formulas are implemented by statute, the Infant Formula Act of 1980, and it's the FDA’s job to enforce those federal law requirements, including the verification of imported European formulas that don't meet their often-debated standards.
This is an important distinction because it's also the smokescreen the FDA will likely hide behind as they are pressed to loosen restrictions on importing formulas amidst the ongoing crisis of mothers staring down empty shelves in the supermarket. When angry moms ask why their European formula orders were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, experts and FDA defenders point to the federal statute as a “their hands are tied” excuse.
It is not illegal to import formulas into the United States, but any formula imported must be from a manufacturer that is FDA-registered, which entails meeting their strict rules for products and labels. Despite what media or some American doctors say, European formulas are not unsafe, and are preferred by many American moms.
For a variety of reasons, many mothers prefer formulas manufactured in Europe. Some perceive European brands to be higher quality than American formulas, although medical experts disagree on whether this is true. The European equivalent of the FDA does not allow any amount of trace pesticides to be present in their milk, so the foundation of the formula is coming from cows producing a higher quality of milk, which appeals to today's American customers often in search of “clean” ingredients.
“Meningitis from Cronobacter almost always happens in babies less than 2 months old.”
