It's time for some predictions for the new year. What will 2016 bring? Obviously, no human being knows the answer, but here are some predictions anyway:
1. Sadly, 2016 is going to see more attacks by terrorists against the West. The Islamic terrorists are not going to stop. Indeed, after all their recent "successes" like the Russian plane in Egypt, the Paris slaughter and the San Bernardino attack, the terrorists are more likely than ever to strike.
2. The world economy is going to get worse and that will be the case both in the USA and abroad. The major fall in nearly all commodity prices will bring losses and many bankruptcies to companies in the relevant fields. Countries dependent on production of oil, copper, iron, and the rest will have great difficulties paying their creditors, and the resulting defaults will shake many of the world's financial institutions. By the end of the Summer, America will be back in recession too.
3. The Paris agreement on global warming will turn out to be nothing but hot air. No concrete action will be taken to fight this "problem" which doesn't seem to actually exist.
4. Hillary Clinton will not be indicted for mishandling classified information by placing it on her private unsecured computer system. The FBI Director Comey will recommend prosecution, but attorney general Loretta Lynch will decide not to proceed with any charges.
5. Hillary Clinton will also be the Democrat nominee in the 2016 election.
6. The GOP nominee will be Marco Rubio. (On this one, I admit to bias, but it's my post, so I'm allowed.)
7. The election will result in a major victory for the Republicans. They will carry the states won by Romney and also pick up victories in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Colorado (and perhaps some other states.) The GOP will increase its seats in the House by at least ten. The Senate will remain in GOP control.
8. The end of 2016 will see continuing fighting in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen.
