Month: May 2022

We Don’t Understand:

I don’t understand why there is a shortage of baby formula – Well I did a little research and here is what a simple person like me can determine. First, the bacteria. After the recent deaths of at least two infants from a rare infection, the Food and Drug Administration investigated Abbott, a major producer of infant formula, and discovered traces of the pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii in a Michigan plant. As a result, the FDA recalled several brands of formula, and parents were advised to not buy or use some formula tied to the plant. Second, the pandemic has snarled all sorts of supply chains, but I can’t think of a market it’s yanked around more than infant formula. “During the spring of 2020, formula sales rocketed upwards as people stockpiled formula just like they stockpiled toilet paper,” Lyman Stone, the director of research at the consulting firm Demographic Intelligence, told me. Then, as “families worked through their stockpiles, sales fell a lot. This oscillation made planning for production extremely difficult. It was complicated to get an idea of the actual market size.” Meanwhile, Stone’s research has found that an uptick in births in early 2022 has corresponded with a “very dramatic decline in rates of breastfeeding” among new mothers, which pushed up demand for formula once again. Third, Finally, the third factor: America’s regulatory and trade policy. And while that might not sound as interesting to most people as bacteria and viruses, it might be the most important part of the story. FDA regulation of formula is so stringent that most of the stuff that comes out of Europe is illegal to buy here due to technicalities like labeling requirements. Nevertheless, one study found that many European formulas meet the FDA nutritional guidelines—and, in some ways, might even be better than American formula, because the European Union bans certain sugars, such as corn syrup, and requires formulas to have a higher share of lactose. Some parents who don’t care about the FDA’s imprimatur try to circumvent regulations by ordering formula from Europe through third-party vendors. But U.S. customs agents have been known to seize shipments at the border. U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that does meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. And under President Donald Trump, the U.S. entered into a new North American trade agreement that actively discourages formula imports from our largest trading partner, Canada. America’s formula policy warps the industry in one more way. The Department of Agriculture has a special group called WIC—short for Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children—that provides a variety of services to pregnant and breastfeeding women and their young children. It is also the largest purchaser of infant formula in the United States, awarding contracts to a small number of approved formula companies.  As a result, the U.S. baby formula industry is minuscule, by design. A 2011 analysis by USDA reported that three companies accounted for practically all U.S. formula sales: Abbott, Mead Johnson, and Gerber. And finally, the Biden administration sent tons and tons of baby formula to the boarders and third world countries. My point to this long winded overview of the baby formula, is once again BIDENDOES NOT PUT AMERICA FIRST, AND NEVER WILL.

We Don’t Understand The Dramatic Rise In Fuel Costs – Biden said yesterday IT IS NOT HIS FAULT that the cost of fuel is so high. Like he said, ‘come on’ it is Russia’s fault, and the war in Ukraine. And IT IS NOT HIS FAULT the price at the grocery store is sky high, and in some areas shelves are bare for certain items. And he even went so far as to say ‘What did the MAGA group do, nothing, they let people wait in line for boxes of food’. WHAT THE HELL, he is so loosing it OMG. Once again NOTHING IS HIS FAULT.

I don’t Understand The Lack Of Response From Republican Leaders – I am lost on this one. I can’t understand why the Republican Party leadership is not out in front of every camera or mic they can be, and calling Biden out on this crap. If this were Trump, every Democrat out there would be in front of a camera telling everyone what a horrible President he is. I wish the Republican leadership would put the Democrats / Socialists on the defensive for a change, and make them respond to their BS. I realize that the legacy media will not give Republicans 10 seconds, and if they do, they will do a one hour special on how wrong they were.

You know, when you think about it, when someone walks into a store, if you are left, right, or questioning which you are, the money is still the same. I go to Aldi’s, and those who to to Whole Foods, should be pissed at the Biden administration. I wonder if the Republican’s started calling BIDEN and his house of joker’s out, and then give solutions to how to MAKE AMERICA FIRST, you might even win over some of those Democrats that are tired of paying for more and getting less.

We will see what next week brings, hopefully Republican leadership starts throwing it back at the BIDEN administration.

We are Blessed with today, and tomorrow is a new day.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the mothers and grand mothers who give so much to us. This is a day we can say thank you and we love you for all you do for us and show us. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

Shorts for the week: Pelosi vs Newsome, Heck that sounds like a fight card. It would be funny as hell to see them go at it, Mr. Melba Toast Newsom vs Dentures Flyout Pelosi. Pretty funny if it wasn’t so sad to see these two fighting over whether the Democratic party has been soft on abortion or not, OMG OMG, really.

Protests at Supreme Court Justices Homes and Church’s: As I stated earlier I will not get into the debate of the Roe v Wade at all. However I feel that portions of the people and Democratic party are using this to draw attention away from the real issues of the Biden administration failures.

Stock Market Major Hit: This week was horrible for the market, and to be honest, I am suprisedd it has not happened sooner with all the issues the Biden administration has created. So at what point do we, you, me and everyone else that has a 401K, or really for that matter any investment say WTF. I don’t know maybe we are, but those in power now do give a crap what we have to say, and as Pelosi said, we are just perceiving this all wrong, she has data that says things are great, what a joke. As I said they live in a completely different world than we do.

Well we will see what this new week brings.

Today was a Blessing and Tomorrow is a New Day.

What a start to the week. First, we hear that we are going to have a Disinformation Board run by DHS. Second the leaked Supreme Court draft on Roe v Wade. If you can bear with me I want to look at each of these and give my thoughts.

Disinformation Board – This is a complete and utter joke, OMG. This is being run by DHS, with Alejandro Mayorkas has head. I have said other times, this guy is a utter moron to the highest level. Now he is going to put in charge Nina Jankowicz in charge of this, and she is the biggest liar and scammer there is. She is the one who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, among so many others. So now Mayorkas put this person in chanrge and she wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in the face. I once heard a congressman say, “the truth is what I say it is”, well this is what she will live up too. I think this is going to be used by the Democratic / Socialists as a political tool / weapon for the up coming elections. Me I would not believe anything that comes out of this board.

Supreme Court Draft – This is a coordinated attack on the Supreme Court, and the Republican Party. This stunt was done for several reasons. First it takes the attention off of the Biden administrations total and complete failures, which include, but not limited to, fuel prices, INFLATION, food prices, INFLATION, interest rates, INFLATION, foreign policy clusters, INFLATION. Second, and most important, it gives the Dems / Socialists a chance to demonize the Republicans and anyone who support Republicans. They know that the mid-terms are not looking good at this point so they need to do something to try and get their base back onboard with them, as some were leaning away from them due to ALL the screw up that Biden has caused. As a note I heard our governor Pritzker even say that Republicans are going to take rights away from women, and they must be fought and he will fight like hell for them, (typical fat boy statement).

Just a personal observation, this happened right after the newest LIBERAL judge, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined the court. It could just be a timing thing, or a planned job, once again to damage the Republicans at the mid-terms, just saying.

If these two developments are any preview to the next several months, it will be scary what the Dems will do next. And as a finial note, I see COVID is starting to show up more and more on the legacy media, could there be mask mandates or even worse, lock downs coming, you just never know they will pull.

Today is a Blessing, and tomorrow is a new day.

Happy May Day to all. May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on 1 May, around halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. So with that said, I am saying MAYDAY, MAYDAY. This MAYDAY is not to mark the beginning of summer but a call for help.

This week Nancy Pelosi gave her weekly speech and stated that the inflation and the raising prices for everything is being misperceived by the public. In fact she has a lot of data and statistics that really the economy is really doing good, and people just don’t understand how things work. First I would like to ask what universe is she living in, and second do you get the tone of her, i.e., you normal people are just to stupid to understand things, so I have to tell you that it is really good and you just don’t understand that. And the universe she lives in is Washington DC where people like her have no idea what it cost to go from one day to the next. Now I see her and Adam Shifty Siff went to the Ukraine. I just wonder if she told them that they are misperceiving the war, and really things are going just swell for them and it is all ok.

Then we have DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, this goof ball should give you a ton of confidence in the boarders be controlled. This man is so far out of his league it is beyond words, he has no clue of what is going on, none.

I suppose you might be saying, OK your point? My point is how important these mid term elections are. If the Republicans can take control then hopefully at least one of these people can fade into the sunset, and she can stay at home and bug the crap out of her husband.

As these elections get closer, you can bet that the gloves will come off, and the democratic / socialists will do all they can to demonize ALL republicans and they will lie out there teeth and create false stories about them, gee that has never been done before.

Please all go and support your candidate, vote local, state, and national.

Next post we will talk about good old Hunter and his dad.

Today was a Blessing and tomorrow is a new day.
