As challenger Ronald Reagan famously said to incumbent Jimmy Carter in the second 1980 presidential debate, “There you go again”; this time, with “you” being Joe Biden and “again” being yet another self-created crisis by the most inept president in modern history, if not the history of the presidency itself.
So let’s officially add the Biden Baby Formula Crisis™ to the long list of Biden Crises™, shall we?
Let’s also first make sure we’re all up to speed on the latest developments of another crisis that did not need to happen. RedState reports that Thursday’s familiar Biden spin was in full swing. Joe Biden invokes the Defense Production Act in an attempt to fix the Baby Formula shortage that his henchmen created.
With the supply of baby formula depleted by nearly 50 percent in at least 43 states, Biden invoked the Act and Ordered the U.S. military from Europe to transport baby formula.For a moment, think about that. The Act was put in place in 1950 in response to the Korean War — tIn the case of shortages caused by war, the United States may fly food into the region.
By Saturday afternoon, the White House launched a full-court press, pathetically attempting to take credit for “solving” a crisis Biden himself created.
We are seeing more infant formula.
First pallet from @POTUS’ Operation Fly Formula are being loaded onto a military plane in Germany right now.
Tomorrow’s plane will be the first to land in the United States. There are more on their way. pic.twitter.com/MBbnlFTo9h

Think about it again. Take a look at the state of our nation. This is Biden’s AmericaThe generous and unrestrained country of. Delivering endThe international aid program is currently in full swing Receiving end. It’s abhorrent. You can’t put it any other way.
However, on Sunday morning the official Biden twitter account was created It’s really quite embarrassing — in a since-deleted tweet (but screenshots live forever) — in multiple ways:
Official @POTUSAccount tweets that the U.S. has received 70,000 tonnes of baby formula Actually it’s 70,000 pounds, so less than 40 tons. It has been deleted. It was not before spread via various blue checks.
Good thing the Disinformation board was disbanded… pic.twitter.com/dXckJGCKKw

Reserve This “small” mistake, how many babies for how long does 70,000 pounds of baby formula feed, you ask? Welp, let’s go to math and reality — as opposed to hype and political expediency for a possible answer — you know; just for perspective.
Bloomberg News reports that the 70,000 pound arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday. couldAs early as next week, the product will be available in retail stores. As translated by Bloomberg, Brian Deese, Biden’s top economic adviser in the White House, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the formula will address “15 percent of the overall national volume that we need.”
For how long?
A Twitter user suggested that the 70,000-pound amount would last. It takes four hours.
The average price of baby formula is $22 per pound. The formula cost for approximately $1.5million is 70,000 pounds. Annual formula sales in the United States exceed $3.6 trillion dollars. Joe, you can secure almost 4 hours worth of domestic demand!!
Huh?

The math is correct, given the example, putting Barney Fife Biden’s chest-thumping “Hey, look at what I did!” braggadocio into perspective.
Biden, on the other hand, deserves praise for bringing one POUND worth of formula to every 50 babies in the nation

Yet brag on he did.
Let me update you on Operation Fly Formula. We have secured a second flight to transport Nestlé specialty infant formula to Pennsylvania.
You will be notified as soon as possible about the flight and trucking.
Good job, Joe. </serious sarcasm>

Instead of lying about when he became aware of the shortage — or refusing to talk about it — perhaps Biden could have gone Harry TrumanInstead of Joe BidenAccording to RedState, the White House was conscious of the shortage for several months. Its admission came in the wake of bizarre statements by Jen Psaki (a former White House press Secretary).
Nah, then he wouldn’t have been Joe Biden.
Bottom line:
Biden’s crises are well documented: The Biden Border Crisis, Biden Oil Crisis, Biden Afghanistan Debacle, Biden Supply Chain Crisis, Bidenomics, Bidenflation, Biden Gas Price Hikes Crisis, and any other crises I might have missed, but a Biden Baby formula Crisis
Particularly, given all this guy has harped about ad nauseam for 16 months has been COVID mandates, so-called “systemic racism” and “White supremacy,” all things LGBTQ+ and gender self-identification — let alone continuing his Custer’s Last Stand fight to import as many illegal aliens as he can get away with.
Why? Because he’s Joe Biden, of course.
