Any sense of normalcy in America is an illusion. 

Don and Doug have been calling out milemarkers on the American decline since December 2010, and each is convinced we're well into critical territory. 

The stock market is showing increased volitility. For the time being, it's still managing upswings as well as down. But volitility makes people uneasy. Things look dicey for the months ahead. 

As we near year's end, expect a new wave of health insurance cancellations, or extreme price hikes. It's Obamacare striking again. 

A new polio-like epidemic may be shaping up in American cities.

Policians treat the emerging Ebola epidemic like a political issue, and speak of travelers and patient rights, rather than even consider basic, but effective counter measures that have worked for centuries.

In St. Louis, mobs unleased more unrest because a police officer shot and killed a perp who started the alteration by shooting at the cop.

And ISIS continues on its march. Photos out of Kobani, Syria show women from teens to grandmothers, clutching Kalishnakovs, vowing to fight to the death in opposition. 

How soon before we see American moms and grandmothers clutching arms, vowing to protect their homes, as our own socieity unravels?  

In reality, it's already here. How many stories have you seen of moms or grandmas using arms to repel or kill home invaders, in American cities and suburbs?

Things are getting worse, people. Not better. 

Where do they go next?
