And Now Predictions

 Everyone else is predicting things in the New Year, my turn.


  1. Gazians will not rule Gaza. Israel will be given a free hand by the US and manage Gaza like a hostile territory. Think Native US tribes under Andrew Jackson. Although, hopefully, no typhoid blankets.
  2. Canada, the Panama Canal Zone, and Greenland - none will become a state. Although Massachusetts will investigate becoming a Canadian province with Vermont.
  3. Jeff Goldblum will continue to make movies, even though no one understands why.
  4. President Trump will exit the day-to-day running of the country and leave it to Musk - much like Reagan left the running of the country to Nancy after he had dementia.
  5. Inflation will slowly drop until the summer. Then the new policies kick in and inflation will rise more steadily again. The inflation rate will rise, but not above 5%.
  6. Immigrant deportations will be very low after a big start. Farming, hospitality, slaughterhouses, and the sweatshop fashion industry will combine to slow deportation to negligible levels, but Republicans will label it a win.
  7. We still won't understand Crypto.
  8. Ukraine and Russia will sign a peace treaty that gives much of Ukrainian territory to Russia. (Russia will restart the war in 2027 - but that is not for this year's prediction.)
  9. AI will take over more jobs, even as more problems are uncovered. AI will continue to favor caucasian features, and flag Asian and Black races for further investigation.
  10. Politicians will ignore climate change, but insurance will continue to flee areas newly subjected to flooding and fire.
  11. A mutant mosquito will carry away small dogs and cats.
  12. Bird Flu will start killing people like a pandemic, the government will do nothing. They "learned their lesson" from Covid.
  13. Plane "chem trails" will be outlawed because the government doesn't understand condensation.
  14. More government departments will move out of DC. EPA to Cheyenne Wyoming. Food Safety to Iowa Falls and share space with Iowa Select Farms. NASA to the new "SpaceTownX" in Texas.
  15. Trump will replace 1/3 of his cabinet appointees by December 31, 2025.
  16. South Korea, Japan, and maybe Taiwan will pursue nuclear weapons after Trump makes sweet sweet love to Kim Jong Il.
  17. National gay right to marry will be overturned, or rendered toothless by southern states.
  18. YMCA will become the "White" national anthem just as "Lift Every Voice" is the unofficial Black anthem.
  19. After a "small" pressure campaign, Donald Trump will be declared the Sexist Man of 2025.
  20. Another country star will use a slur against Blacks or Gays. People will complain and their sales will SOAR (see Morgan Wallen).
  21. Pride nights will be canceled in most sporting venues.
  22. JD Vance will star in a sex tape.  As will Lindsey Graham. No one will be surprised.
  23. I will fail all 4 of my resolutions by March (judging even earlier).
  24. Holgar Rune will win one tennis major and thank his biggest fan, Scott Mitchell.
  25. Smog will Make Sunsets Great Again.
  26. Mifepristone will be outlawed.
  27. Texas will arrest someone trying to get to New Mexico for an abortion.
  28. Wyoming will demand new cars do NOT meet California emission standards.

That is all.
