I managed to get an ObamaCare Quote:

$399.40 a month for what is called a “Silver Plan.” The costs are:
Copay: first three PCP visits is free. $55 copay after. 
$75 copay for specialist, plus you need a referral from PCP.

First ER visit $75, then $750 for each visit thereafter. 
Imaging copay for MRI, CT, etc. is $350, except Xray which is $150. 
Physical and speech therapy is $75 per visit.
Prescritions are $10 for generic, otherwise $60, $100, $150, depending on the drug.
There is a $5,000 deductible.

Of course, people who actually can sign up are another matter entirely. The article here says that two Orlando area students were able to sign up. The problem is that the MSM apparently didn’t bother to do their jobs and research the report. A Google search discovers that the two students that got cheap insurance from the exchange are probably plants for some Democrat Astroturf campaign.

According to the article:

Florida CHAIN, a statewide consumer health advocacy group, has highlighted the story of

Vincent Mutia, a 24-year-old political science student at the University of Central Florida.
Mutia
said he tried to enroll on the first day but ran into problems that
kept him from shopping the available plans, applying for a subsidy and
making a purchase.
“In the last few days,’’ Mutia told the Herald
on Friday, “the experience became more fluid. I was able to put in all
my information. After the security questions, I created an account.”

 According to his Linked In profile, Vincent Mutia held the titles of  “Deputy Field Organizer” and “Organizing Fellow” for Obama for America in 2012. He has a BA in Political Science. The group that “highlighted” the story is Florida CHAIN. Who are they?

 Florida CHAIN is a statewide consumer health advocacy organization
dedicated to improving the health of all Floridians by promoting access
to affordable, quality health care. We fulfill the critical role of
building the capacities for and linking consumer, community and service
organizations with health care advocacy. We provide policy education,
collaborative networking, training, and communications and organizing
tools to the public, allied partners, media and policy makers.

 How about Daniel McNaughton? According to HIS Linked In profile, his specialties include “Political Organizer” and “Volunteer Coordinator.” He also claims to have been an intern for a Democrat State Senator, Dave Aronberg, in 2009. His girlfriend appears to be a member of  NASW-FL, which is the National Association of Social Workers. 

There are a number of Congressmen who are trying to spend $31.50 a week, claiming that this is the average that people receiving food stamps are allotted. What they don’t tell you is that the SNAP system is a scam.

Let’s use my home state as an example: Florida’s minimum wage is $7.79 an hour. That means that a person making minimum wage earns $16,203 a year. SNAP is limited to those who earn no more than 130% of the Federal poverty line. That means that a  family of three is considered to be SNAP eligible if they are earning about $26,000 a year.

Let’s use that as our example: A single mother of two, ages 10 and 6, who is earning minimum wage. She would receive $396 a month in SNAP benefits. That same woman would get $5,372 a year in Earned Income Credit. There are other aid programs out there that will get her more benefits, but let’s concentrate just on this for now. This woman’s take home pay is $25,159 a year, counting her pay minus what payroll taxes she would pay, plus EIC and SNAP.

Many of you will say that $25 a year doesn’t sound like a lot, especially with two kids to feed, and you are right, it isn’t. It is still enough that this mom can afford luxuries, since she is getting about ten grand a year worth of our money. I know this makes me sound heartless, but let me tell you why this is on my mind:

I know that woman. She has two girls from two different husbands. She works as a waitress, since that is all of the work that she can get with a GED. You see, she dropped out of high school to marry her sweetheart when she was 17 years old. Still, she earns far more than the minimum wage that she tells the government about. In fact, she gets up to $150 a day in tips working at TGI Friday’s. 

Does she put that money away? No. Instead, she bought passes to Universal Orlando for her, her two children, and her unemployed boyfriend. They have money aplenty for booze. Her first husband and his new girlfriend come over to drink with them. The girlfriend is collecting disability for her debilitating fibromyalgia that somehow only manifests when she wants to use it to her advantage, and doesn’t prevent her from riding roller coasters, but that is a story for another time…

So don’t feel too sorry for them, they are doing better than you are. Let the SNAP system stop, and it is the white people’s fault…

Last year, I took a college course and met a woman named Danielle, who was telling me that she was attending college in order to meet a man that would care for her. She said that she knew she was pretty, and was going to use her youthful body and good looks to land herself a man that would be her meal ticket.

The feminist movement has been telling women for years that they do not have to learn cooking, cleaning, and laundry, because that is part of some sort of misogynistic man’s idea of womanhood, and they should not stand for it.

This is how you wind up with women like Jennifer, who have this viewpoint. Jennifer doesn’t even see that her attitude is a big part of the reason why she is a 38 year old woman who once told me that she longs to find her “Prince Charming” but is still single, and can’t understand why.

Women want men to assume the traditional role of breadwinner, while still maintaining their own career and their own money, and refusing to support the household by cleaning, cooking, or any other chores.

I can cook fairly well. I clean. I do laundry. I have my own money. That is not the case
with the women out there. It is rare indeed to find a woman who can cook
or clean house. Most women today know nothing about how to do laundry.
The things that were considered women’s work half a century ago have
faded from the modern woman’s vocabulary.

So that leaves us with a question: What does a woman who cannot cook, clean, keep house, and has no real job skills offer a man? At this point, all she brings to the table is sex.

Each and every woman that I have dated or had as a girlfriend knows
less about cooking, cleaning, and other household chores than I do. The
vast majority of them have no career skills or training. In short, the
majority of today’s women bring nothing to the table but sex, meaning
that they have been reduced to nothing more than life support for female
sex organs…and they have the feminist movement to thank for it.

As Sunshine Mary has to say:

Despite over forty years of feminist indoctrination, most women still
have a maternal drive, the instinct to nurture a child.  However, after
spending all of their fertile years earning degrees and climbing the
career ladder, once they finally stop and take a breath and realize how
very much they want a child, women are often unable to produce their own
children.  

Men look around and see what? They marry a woman who makes less than they do, is so busy with a career that she doesn’t want kids, she can’t cook, can’t clean, and can’t offer anything to the man that he doesn’t already have. Except sex. Even if he does marry her, there is a 50% chance that he will lose half of everything that he owns, even though the woman didn’t contribute to 50% of the financial portion of the marriage. She didn’t even contribute the intangible contribution of maintaining the household.

Seven out of ten divorces are initiated by the wife. In college educated couples, 90% of divorces are initiated by women. From Byrdeye’s post “Divorce is highway robbery.“

More shockingly still, a woman can
simply accuse her husband of sexual or physical abuse (or simply express
a fear of it) and instantly win a restraining order forcing him away
from his home and children, without so much as a hearing. In fact, most
divorce lawyers will advise a woman to do this, and those who do not can
be sued for legal malpractice.

So, with all of the risk, and considering that the only thing that women bring to a relationship is a commodity that not only becomes less valuable as the woman ages but is freely available without marriage, it is no wonder that many men are staying single.

Back in April of this year, I posted that L&R Armory, a gun shop in Central Florida, was selling stripped lowers for $900. When I gave them a low rating on Facebook, they deleted my rating along with my comments, and blocked me from rating them further.
Now, an anonymous poster with a Central Florida IP address who landed on my blog by Google searching the name of the store, has commented that I am a crybaby for complaining about high prices and poor service.
Unlike L&R Armory, I welcome comments. If Anonymous is in any way affiliated with L&R Armory, I invite you to man up and send me a comment and own up to it. Explain why you felt that you should charge $900 for a stripped lower.
If it is because you wanted the extra profits, own up to it.

A school in New York has announced that children will not be permitted to have any balls during recess, and will not be allowed to roughhouse without supervision.

The neutering of America.

I also couldn’t resist the title.

Floridians that are attempting to sign up for Obamacare under the new Affordable Care Act are finding out that a low credit score will increase your premiums. So under this plan, an insurance agency cannot charge more for a preexisting condition, but can charge more if you have a ding on your credit…

The Mayor of Orlando, Buddy Dyer, signed a bill that will see Orlando constructing an $85 million soccer stadium. Just in June, he had to dip into reserve funds to balance the city’s budget and cover a $12 million budgetary shortfall. He claimed that the “belt had been tightened to the very last hole” and that the city was reducing the size of the workforce in order to make ends meet. Of course, he may have been lying, since he tried to give himself a 21% raise just weeks later.

Sports venues cost taxpayers far more than they ever bring in to taxpayers. In Orlando’s case, the city has a tax base of 238,000 people, meaning that an $85 million venue will cost $350 per resident. It is difficult to see how this venue bringing in a soccer team will bring in that amount of additional revenue. Why can’t the team play in the largely unused Citrus bowl?

The Amway arena opened in 1989, after costing $110 million to build. It was open for 21 years, and was demolished in 2011. Why didn’t they just refurbish it? Since it was open for 21 years, the cost to taxpayers was over $5 million for every year it was open, and that didn’t include operating costs.

The Amway Arena was replaced in 2010 by the Amway Center, at a cost of half a billion dollars. The bonds for that project have been downgraded to ‘junk’ status. The reason that this place was rebuilt was because Rich Devos, the owner of both Amway and the Orlando Magic, wanted to have a venue with a higher number of lucrative executive suites. When taxpayers originally refused to fund the project in 2001, he retaliated by shutting down IHL’s Orlando Solar Bears, leaving the city without a hockey team. This was a clear message to the taxpayers of the city: Pay up, or else.

 Several other teams were attempted in the area, but they failed.

Once the Arena was replaced by the new venue that Devos wanted, the Orlando Solar Bears were reincarnated as an ECHL team, and Devos allowed hockey to return to Orlando.

Do we really want yet another rich guy pulling the strings in Orlando at taxpayer expense?
