Got this in the daily WTF that hits my email inbox from the White House. Bear in mind, this is the official White House daily newsletter. Get a load of the horseshit they are shoveling, and by the looks of things on Facebook and Twitter, the right are lapping it up:

Democrats won’t let you keep your doctor . . . or your health insurance

Not so long ago, Democrats lied repeatedly as they tried to sell an unpopular Obamacare bill to the American people. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan,” President Barack Obama told an audience in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in August 2009.

Now, Democrats will say anything to sell “Medicare for All”—an even more radical government takeover of your healthcare.

The difference? This time, Americans have the evidence to know better. Nearly 5 million Americans saw their plans canceled during Obamacare’s first year. As for keeping your doctor, President Obama later admitted families would have to “make choices” if they wanted to keep their physicians. He also promised these families that the “Affordable Care Act” would cut $2,500 from their premiums. In fact, average individual market premiums more than doubled from 2013 to 2017.

False promises were the only way Democrats were able to ram Obamacare through Congress without a single Republican vote. And just like Obamacare, there’s a lot in the new “Medicare for All” plan that Democrats don’t want you to know:

• “Medicare for All” would end private insurance: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claims this isn’t true. He should read his own party’s bill: “It shall be unlawful for— (1) a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.” Americans would have no choice in their basic insurance and be forced onto Medicare.
• Seniors would lose their benefits: Popular Medicare Advantage plans enjoyed today by more than 20 million seniors would be outlawed under the Democrats’ plan.
• It comes with a massive price tag: Major tax hikes wouldn’t come close to covering the obscene $32 TRILLION 10-year cost projection. Most telling, Sen. Schumer didn’t even deny that the plan would use American taxpayer money to fund government healthcare for illegal immigrants.

It was only a matter of time before Democrats needed something more radical to pitch to their base after Obamacare. For the rest of America, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With “Medicare for All”, quality healthcare will plummet. Wait times will skyrocket. Private competition will be eliminated. Lifesaving innovation will be crippled.

Ugh. So let's go over this for the umpteenth time. If Medicare For All works at all like the Canadian model,
-Medicare behaves as an insurance company doctors will bill.
-Doctors still maintain their private practices as normal.
-Private insurance exists for things above and beyond basic medical necessities.

Man sets home on fire after using blowtorch to kill spiders | ABC-News

A man who was house-sitting for his parents set their home on fire when he used a blowtorch to kill spiders, according to authorities.
Fire fighters responded to a 911 call about a fire Tuesday night at a home in Fresno, California.

A wooden house, and then using a blow torch to remove spiders from the basement?
Well, he made it to get covered in a Dutch newspaper with his action.

Why is my memory trying to tell me this is not the first guy to "catch his house on fire by trying to use specifically a blowtorch to kill spiders"? I mean I'm getting serious deja vu over this.

Well, I can relate. Spiders creep me out so much and I kind of did the same thing once. I opened a shed that was attached to the side of the house and it was filled with webs. I really, really, hate spiders and running into webs, it creeps me out for days. So, I used my kitchen torch (generally used for things like creme brulee) to set the webs on fire. My husband came out just in time to tell me he was storing the gas cans for the generator in the same shed. I was lucky that it burned out before it got to the gas cans.
