“House of Cards”
Well...this thread is just FULL of cheer on Christmas morning!
Denver loses the Super Bowl.
(On some things, I like being wrong)
Blackhawks win the cup, Dems maintain control of the Senate and regain control of the House after Boner and the boys pass amnesty, Obamacare remains wildly unpopular, but will be here to stay because all three branches of the government will be liberal. Yup, I’m a wet blanket.
Obama takes five vacations costing the US taxpayer $25,000,000.00 and no one asks where the money is coming from in the budget that has not existed since Obama took office.
This will be the year that China’s economic house of cards collapses. They built a Potemkin economy based on a fraudulent banking system, widespread corruption/deception, and the kind of low-skilled labor-intensive economy that no country in their right mind wants anymore (thus their constant, yet failed, attempts to “move up the food chain”). Look for widespread riots, and separation of regional governments from Beijing. Their collapse will work in concert with ...
Last year was the last year in which Japan could put off the inevitable. An aging demographic, an export-based economy at a time of shrinking global demand, and a mountain of debt, will catch up with them in a spectacular crash.
Whether this triggers a global systemic collapse remains to be seen, but the amount of leverage that has gone into the extreme global inflation in anything liquid, or anything that can serve as collateral for more debt, makes this a distinct possibility.
OK, I’ll play.
The lady that cleans house for my sis in Arkansas, a good hard working and uncomplaining lady, has best said what is happening to our sad nation, “We have never known for sure what will happen to us but now we are pretty sure it is going to be bad.” On balance, I see nothing good happening to the nation this coming year.
1. Immigration “reform” gets shoved down our throats just like obamacare. The protests are loud but unheard
2. EPA is unleashed like a pack of wild dogs and rule making comes down to the level of the swale in your yard. Ammunition becomes almost impossible to buy because of lead shortages. Car battery prices double and so on.
3. China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan all deepen their differences and it comes to skirmishes but not blows.... yet.
4. The economy is falsely kept afloat to preserve the legacy of obungo. The fall that will come only becomes worse.
5. During the year, the oil boom goes bust because of oversupply. The bust will last two to three years because the decline in production from shale is so precipitous and that production alone falls by 40 to 50%.
6. Outright FRAUD in the fall elections is clearly evident. Not just irregularities but FRAUD. As a result, there are a few outbreaks similar to the Athens War (McMinn County War). All the perpetrators are rounded up quickly and essentially “disappear”. In fact, the outbreaks are not even acknowledged nationally and become an open secret only whispered.
7. As a result of Election FRAUD rats retain the Senate and the house majority is diminished. Instead of the obvious pubbie lawsuits there are rat lawsuits claiming fraud and demanding recounts for unwon house seats. pubbies refuse to file any charges citing the fragility of the republic.
8. The military continues to rot and accidents from failed and wasting equipment begin. The rot begins to look like that of the Soviet Union in the 90s. The number of troops on food stamps grows.
9. Blue stripe (Homeland Security) vehicles become more and more common (we have already seen them at some malls in the Houston area). I have wondered if the “blue turbaned horde” is not Homeland Security. That title truly does sound and look like something out of a movie.
10. I like to think that morals conflicts will begin between decent people and queers but am doubtful. See Athens War perpetrator retaliation for the administration and left response to any pressure from decent people.
I am always able to see the bad side of a thing first, it is my nature to be an Eeyore. I pray I am totally wrong but I doubt it.
Meanwhile, the front yard deer herd is acting confused by the piles of leaves I suppose or something. Squirrels are acting a little frantic in digging up the summer’s peanut treasure so the weather may be changing again. The great blue heron is making his rounds in the pond as I listen to recorded fireplace sounds and Christmas Carols. We are blessed by a few good friends who call or we call and will have others over for dinner today. We miss the kids but we have to share with the other grandparents.
I’m filled though with wondering how we will all make it and what is to become of us.
FR will still exist!
My soon to be ex-wife will continue to be miserable because my son’s martial arts instructor with whom she had an affair has dumped her because he doesn’t want to tell his second wife and kids about how he destroyed my family. Nor does he want to divorce his second wife and have to pay alimony and child support to two separate women. This will continue to make my soon-to-be ex-wife miserable.
OH, you meant something of national significance! Okay, Obama will continue to ignore the constitution and the gutless GOP will tremble in fear.
Obama announces his post-POTUS plan is to join the PGA Senior Tour. Ups number of practice rounds under tutelage of Tiger Woods.
Joe Biden gets lost going home for lunch on way back from WH meeting. Homeland Security issues Silver Idiot Alert.

Right now is just the lull before the Cat 5 hurricane called “BamaKare” hits the U.S. next year, because in early 2014, horror stories will start emerging about people with obama-cancelled insurance not being able to continue their chemotherapy or dialysis treatments, trauma patients being denied care at designated trauma centers, and hospital emergency departments being swamped with people unable to see their doctor.
This will start happening in January, become a deluge in February, and turn into a tsunami of death and suffering by March 2014, at which time voters will start hunting Democrats down in the streets with pitchforks and dogs. And a well-deserved hunt it will be too, because people are going to needlessly die as obamacare sends our existing health care system spiraling into complete and total chaos.
All the Republicans need to do is twiddle their fingers until the Democrats BEG them to fix obamacare, at which point the Republicans need to carry through on their promises to repeal and replace it. And if the Republicans betray us and don’t do that, it is the end of the Republican Party.
2014:
1. War - Israel attacks Iran
2. Muslim attacks within USA
3. Economic collapse - USA
Economy finally tanks right before elections, Pubs blamed, elections are a win for the left, Obama puts pedal to the metal... we are FUBARed for the next generation.
An enormous lice infestation of the US will cause men’s and women’s hairstyles to radically change. Crew cuts will be the style of the day by Feb 2015.
Republicans run against the “ War on Christians” and evangelicals get off their butts and give the R’s both branches of Congress. R’s have no idea what to do and fold to the media like little girls.
Washington, Oregon, and Pennsylvania will again be the front-runners to overturn capital punishment.
added this to the other 2014 prediction posts as well.
Without pretending to know where things are headed, most agree the pace has been picking up and we seem to be accelerating toward something not good in this nation and in the world,
Ancient Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar received world power for 70 years (25,200 days) and his kingdom under Belshazzar was ‘weighed in the balances and found wanting’ with the handwriting on the wall per Daniel Chapter 5, this occurred all in relation to Gods plan for Israel, on Gods perfect required timeline,
Today, with this administration working overtime in an attempt to divide Israel, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, I will predict that whenever this event does occur, whether in 2014 or should it take another 40 or 70 years, that when it does happen as prophesied, it will bring with it a curse upon the world, (Isaiah 24) and specifically upon those nations directly responsible. (Zechariah 12:3)
When prophecy watchers wonder what specific events bring about the time of the end, it is my sincere belief this event is at the very core, this is why the end comes when it does come, its why judgement comes upon the whole Earth. The transgressors have come to the full, God has kept his promise, the times within the Laws and Ordinances were being fulfilled and then this world (system) will have undone this work with promises of lies and deceit, seeking to prevent these times and seasons from resolving with the Jubilee,
Its interesting to me that 70 years after the United States used the first Atomic bomb in war, August 6th, 1945, (a great sword I conjecture) and came to world prominence that very day, its also exactly 25,200 days or 70 years exactly to the 9th day of AV (August 5th) in 2014.
Tish b’av has always been a day of darkness and mourning relating to Gods prophetic timetable, the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed both times on this very day.
And now, as this nation in relation to supporting Israel restored in the Earth from 1948, and then Jerusalem restored in 1967, in the same manner time-wise (19 years apart) as were the sieges of Nebuchadnezzar. We now as a nation, begin to be a mechanism to undo that restoration for ‘peace and security’ and I cant help but wonder what may be coming for us if we’re successful in the division for a false peace and lies at the table, (Daniel 11)
What it may indicate if anything at all, I don’t know, but just thought I would share,
Not a prediction, just an observation, and knowing that things often repeat in patterns,
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 14:4
