Looks like the president is upping the ante. Seems his red lines only apply to GOP, not terrorists.

Ping.

Starve babies and little children?

Hmmm, is this about genocide and population control?

Women and children hardest hit. It’s almost a cliche.

Perhaps some of their cash that usually goes for other items could be used to purchase food for the babies.

“Nearly 9 million low-income mothers and children receive benefits under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.”

This is terrible!

Does this mean they will have to stop falling on their back, legs in the air, every time a ghetto drug dealer walks past?

I’ll believe it when it happens. WIC is not going away. This is no different from the “Bush pushed granny down the stairs” message.

Anyone who wants to purchase food for another will not be stopped.

Yep. This is yellow journalism. Using scare tactics to bait low-info voters.

Well maybe they’ll now have to use their own cash now for those cigs or milk for their kids instead of lobster and steak.
