Could It Possibly Get Any Worse?
P.J. Media ^ | October 15, 2014 | Roger L. Simon

Let’s review:

The stock market is in free fall.

The Islamic State is on the brink of taking Baghdad and Kobani.

The Ebola crisis is spreading and seems on the verge of becoming a pandemic while the CDC is being unmasked as incompetent.

The Iran talks are a charade and everyone expects that country to get the bomb.

Our vaunted college campuses are transfixed by so-called micro-agressions and a supposed rape epidemic while banning the likes of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and George Will (!) from speaking — and they still cost nearly $70,000 a year.

Our putative ally Turkey — you know, those guys who mass murdered the Armenians but never recanted and have a president who thinks democracy is just a pit stop on the way to totalitarianism, but are still “treasured” members of NATO — are not helping the “coalition” but instead bombing the Kurds, virtually the only good guys in the neighborhood.

Donor nations — including the ever popular Qatar — are giving over 5 billion dollars to rebuild Gaza with no discernible penalties for Hamas and virtually no way of preventing the terror organization from rearming (they have already started) and reconstructing their tunnel system under Israel. Meanwhile, the UK, UN, Sweden and nearly everybody else are blaming the Jewish state for practically everything, with anti-Semitism more prevalent almost everywhere than since the 1930s.

Putin has already taken a good swathe of Ukraine, including Crimea, and is licking his chops for the rest of Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union is back and China is on the rise.

Europe is on the verge of recession. Even Germany appears to be stagnating.

You’re kidding, right? It hasn’t even begun yet.

Maybe I missed it, but there was no mention of the IRS being used as a political weapon.

I remember a news panel a couple of months ago. They were discussing the “bad week” for Obama. One of the liberal twits said:”This was really bad, It can’t possibly get any worse.”

Worse for us, or worse for Obama?

Wanted to clarify before answering.

The answer to the headline:

Yes, and it will, as this is all part of the plan.

Could It Possibly Get Any Worse?

Well let’s see....the Triune God stands ready to help us....but most of us STILL ignore Him. There is NO doubt that it will get worse...though there is always hope.

O God, take pity on us and bless us,
and let your face shine upon us,
so that your ways may be known across the world,
and all nations learn of your salvation.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Yes.

The government that couldn’t do a website is going control Ebola?

Resign the presidency Mr. Obama and take Biden with you!

Nearly every time I’ve asked that question in my personal life, I’ve found out that it can get worse.

So, don’t ask that question.

Oh, yeah, it can get a hell of a lot worse.

Russia could decide it's in its long-term best interest to nuke Washington, DC and 23 of the largest cities in America, and be done with it.

Ebola could spread airborne (aereolized) and cause a full-on economic crash. Ebola Zombies could be bleeding out across the landscape.

Yeah, it could be worse.

Obama is still in power, so the answer is no. It could not get any worse.
