From the Obamacare website page:
I actually made it through this morning at 8:00 A.M. I have a preexisting condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually. I chose tier 2 “Silver Plan” and my monthly premiums came out to $597.00 with $13,988 yearly deductible!!!
There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I “opt-out” and chose to continue along with no insurance. Continue reading “Obamacare by no means is “Free” or even “Affordable””

“It’s up to you — no more than two.”
This dystopian command was posted by staff inside an Indiana high school as a warning to students that if they grow up to have large families, they are contributing to overpopulation — a pseudoscientific hoax pushed by some liberals.
The message was posted on a banner above lockers at Northview High School in Brazil, Indiana. It read in full: “Zero population growth. It’s up to you — No more than two.” Continue reading “Orwellian high school preaches population control to students”

Why filing falsified CPS reports is “legal” (not really, it’s just never investigated)
CPS will tell you they must protect the “integrity” of anonymous reporting, even if the report is falsified. They claim that in many cases, they don’t even know who made the report (untrue, because every telephone number is recorded in the file).
If I call to report witnessing a murder and I refuse to give my name or refuse to testify, there is no evidence of who committed the crime. An arrest cannot be made unless I testify as to who I saw commit the crime. With CPS, an investigation is done with no witnesses and no evidence to support an investigation, but the investigation is done anyway.
