"Could be raining."

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.
The U.S. has its lowest labor participation rate since women went to work. The middle class is consistently losing ground.
Race relations in the U.S. seem to have gone backwards fifty years in the last six, African Americans overwhelmed with victimology and picking on cops before there is any evidence. Critics of the president are constantly accused of racism. Seventy percent of black children are born out of wedlock.
No one trusts the word of the president because he has lied so frequently about everything from health care to Benghazi.
The highly-politicized attorney general has stepped down with an even worse successor in the wings (Tom Perez).
The U.S. Army is falling apart with only 12 of 37 brigades combat ready. Our Navy is disappearing.
Al Qaeda is NOT on the run. Just the opposite — it’s everywhere. The Taliban are getting Afghanistan back, maybe Pakistan too.
No one knows how many terrorists have already crossed our border, what passports they have and what they are planning to do.
Our prisons have become training camps for jihadists.
And with all this, our secretary of State — who has no scientific expertise whatsoever but does speak mediocre French — thinks “global warming” is our biggest problem.
There’s a lot more. I know I’ve forgotten a ton. The mind simply boggles when trying to recall all of it. (What about Assad and the “red line?” etc., etc.). Please feel free to add yours at the bottom.
But remember this. It’s not all bad. At least Valerie Jarrett isn’t running for president in 2016….Or is she?
Bush’s fault.
Embarrassing America for the purpose of weakening it. This is what's happening, and it's all by design in all sectors at all levels.
"Could be raining."
US Marine Andrew Tahmooressi is still rotting in a Mexican prison.
Border patrol agent Brian Terry is still dead with no justice done.
The GOP-e is just waiting until after the mid-term to pass amnesty.
Just off the top of my head.
When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Obama The Age of Obama Obama! Obama!
Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions Golden living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revelation And the minds true liberation
Obama, Obama
When the moon is in the seventh house And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Obama The age of Obama, Obama, Obama Obama, Obama

exactly what I was thinking.....
“Could be worse, could be raining”
FYI, it is pouring here in southern NH, with flash flood warnings coming in over our Iphones.
But new jobless claims fell last week. (SNICKER)
You know the media will be touting this endlessly. They have orders from the propaganda ministry to distract us from the mishandled Ebola crisis and the other disasters and outrages mentioned above.
Frankenstein: “damn your eyes!”
Igor: “too late!”

Take a look a events of the early 1940’s, including the first half of 1942.
Could be a lot worse!
Can it get worse? Yessir. Wait ‘til ISIS figures out how to loose ebola in the slums of Tijuana, Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, and Matamoros.
I think Hillary is every bit as vulnerable to an attack from the left as she was in 2008, perhaps more.
It can ALWAYS get worse!
We have feminists all in a tizzy about drunken sexual shenanigans in co-ed dorms (what did they expect when the went co-ed???) while thousands of girls are literally being kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery in Africa and the Middle East. They're worried about "micro aggressions" while hundreds of cases per year of female genital mutilation happen in Britain???
We're at war with ISIS, Baghdad is about to fall, the Russkies are threatening our NATO allies, Iran is about to get a nuke, Turkey is going full-on Muzzie, Israel is being bombed, Mexican narco gangs terrorize our borders - and our biggest foreign policy issue is global warming?
Holy crap, man. The Dims are just so far gone that there's really not much left to say. They have severed all moorings to reality. We're dealing with the mentally ill.
You took the words out of my mouth.
