EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Empty baby formula shelves have families scrambling.
For the past several weeks, following the premature birth of her twins, Maxine and Lawrence, Nguyen has spent hours every day searching the internet or making phone calls trying to find more baby formula to buy for them.
“I’m a first-time mother. There’s already enough anxiety with that,” she said. “My husband sees my stress level and he’s worried.”
Nguyen’s twins were born in early December, arriving six weeks early. Although breastfeeds them, her milk production isn’t enough to nourish both of them sufficiently. Now she’s worried the stress is impeding her milk production even more.
The twins require a specialized, hypoallergenic formula to help them gain weight and get the nutrients they need.
“I just can’t find that formula anywhere,” Nguyen said. She’s doing daily checks at nearby Walmart, Target and CVS stores only to find the product is either out of stock or on back order, with no clear indication of when it will arrive. She’s even had to deal with a confirmed order getting canceled.
“It’s very frustrating and scary,” Nguyen said. “I’ve been searching for it in towns three hours away from where I live. Why can’t I just go into a store and be able to buy formula?”
“Why can’t I just go into a store” and buy it? That was the old, bad America, the one with mean tweets.

“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO F*CK THINGS UP:” Brandon Campaigned for a Dem in Trouble and It Didn’t Go Very Well. “Maybe it’s me, but if we were still energy independent like we were under President Trump, maybe a supply chain crisis and problems at our ports wouldn’t have any impact on our gas prices. But that’s just me.”
UPDATE:
THE CHANTS OF THE FREEDOM CONVOY:
It has been over 2 years where, even staunchest vaccine proponents I’ve spoken to agree: Public health communication has been chaos.
The lack of clarity on why certain policies exist, the lack of logical consistency, and the constant reliance on the repetition of the basic messaging of “vaccines are safe and effective” has left Canadians feeling ignored, diminished, shamed, and often, silenced.
Instead of addressing their concerns, Prime Minister Trudeau, from a safe distance, continued to label a group that consists of just about every race, gender, occupation—and vaccination status—as racists, misogynists, conspiracy theorists, and a “fringe minority” that holds “unacceptable views.” A truly divisive rhetoric.
Then, the convoy arrived in Ottawa and suddenly the “small fringe minority” didn’t seem so small anymore as they converged on Parliament Hill in huge numbers, in the middle of a cold Canadian winter.
They have finally had enough.
It’s about time.

BLAINE PARDOE: Fight Back Against the Woke Bullies Trying to Silence Conservatives.
Until last year I was aware of the cancel culture and the self-proclaimed work warriors out trolling the net but was unsure how bad the problem really was. Then it hit home. I had a man, a criminal on probation who was pretending online to be a lesbian female, go after one of my publishers and attempt to get my books delisted. When my publisher said no, this individual contacted a fellow writer and made threats against my life. This was mixed in with a campaign of threatening emails, links to horrific videos, and more veiled threats in messages. The trigger that set this person off was my novel Blue Dawn … BEFORE it was even published!
A protective order is in place and law enforcement is monitoring this person. Even then I wondered if this was just some crazed stalker, a fluke. Sadly, it wasn’t.
In recent months, talking with other conservative authors, I found that this is now the norm. “Welcome to the club!” one told me.

NARRATIVES DON’T ESTABLISH THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW: Doctor Says She Was Pressured to Make Omicron Sound More Dangerous.
OF COURSE SHE DID: Report: Jill Biden Hampered Afghanistan Evacuation With Special Requests. “It was completely out of bounds for Jill Biden to put that kind of pressure on military leaders, who likely wanted to do their best to fulfill her request — given her husband is the president. That’s the danger in abusing relationships that include varying power dynamics. In this case, according to the report, the move by the First Lady led to negative real-world consequences, handicapping an already chaotic operation.”
PEOPLE ARE MAD AS HELL, AND THEY’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE: Freedom Convoy Spreads Across the World, With Protests in the Most Unlikely Countries. “But even with police cracking down on the protesters in Ottawa and limiting their access to fuel, international support for the truckers has been growing, with protests taking place from the U.K. and the Netherlands to the U.S. and New Zealand.”
