Whew! Looks like Whoopi Goldberg is on Caitlin Jenner’s bad side following comments she made on ‘The View’ Joe Biden’s defense amid rising gas prices and the baby formula shortage. Whoopi said, “Gas prices aren’t bad because of anything President Biden did. It’s just what he’s gonna absorb.” During the discussion, Sunny Hostin chimed in, mentioning the ongoing war in Ukraine, and Whoopi brought up the formula shortage.

“People want baby food, baby formula, that’s also is not on him. That’s on Abbott [Nutrition.] I notice when people talk about these things, nobody ever says, you know, ‘Here’s the cause of this, and here’s how we have to fight this,’” she said.

Caitlin wasn’t feeling Whoopi’s comments and tweeted,

“Come on, @WhoopiGoldberg … I’ve known you for years and think you are such a good soul. But this is crossing the line.” She added, “Biden is the most ineffective leader, as are many of his appointees, and this admin is wildly responsible for this and has not provided effective solutions.”

Despite the public criticism he’s been receiving, President Biden is taking steps to address the shortage. According to CNBC, he invoked the Defense Production Act on Wednesday, which will increase baby formula manufacturing and ease the nationwide shortage caused by the closure of a key plant in Michigan.

The Act gives the nation’s leader broad authority to require companies to prioritize the manufacture and allocation of goods in response to a crisis. The law was passed in 1950 during the Korean War. In addition, President Biden requires suppliers to direct ingredients to baby formula manufacturers before any other companies who may have placed orders for those same goods. To ensure the Act is run correctly, President Biden also directed the Health and Human Services Department and Department of Agriculture to use aircraft from the Defense Department to pick up infant formula from overseas that meets U.S. health and safety standards.

Roommates, what do you think of Caitlin Jenner’s response?

August 15, 2016 by BOBBY CARTER • Good luck trying to classify Anderson .Paak and his band The Free Nationals. Much of their sound is layered atop a soulful hip-hop foundation; from there, your safest bet is to call it a hodgepodge of genres in the best way possible. Guitarist Jose Rios and bassist Kelsey Gonzalez inject a hard-rock edge into the Hi-Tek-produced “Come Down,” this set’s opening number. When you hear them play the first few jazz chords of “Heart Don’t Stand A Chance,” it’s hard to simply call this R&B.

It’s been a slow build for .Paak, who released a few mixtapes before his 2014 debut album Venice. This year has marked his official breakout with Malibu, on which he did what so many in his position fail to do: He capitalized. After bursting into the spotlight with his appearances on Dr. Dre’s Compton LP, he immediately prepped the release of Malibu. The album sculpted an entirely new lane for Anderson .Paak. He can rhyme with best of ’em, and his vocal styling, reminiscent of ’70s and ’80s greats, is invigorating when set against today’s tender R&B elite. Before all that, he’s a drummer-slash-bandleader.

I’ve experienced three separate presentations of this band. First, there’s the recorded version, on which .Paak collaborates with some of hip-hop’s finest producers. Then, their tight stage show hits you in the chest with 90-plus minutes of pure energy. In the midst of a whirlwind tour, they stopped by the Tiny Desk and reworked three cuts from Malibu, along with an audience request that shocked even them. They stripped down and pulled back just enough to fill the room.
