1) The UK will continue its descent into third world status.
2) Keir Starmer’s popularity will continue to plunge and he will finish the year as an even more unpopular British leader than Liz Truss.
3) In the upcoming German elections, the AfD will secure 35 percent of the vote but will be shut out of the governing coalition.
4) The German economy will continue to fail and economic growth in Germany will be close to non-existent.
5) The romance between Giorgi Meloni and Elon Musk will become public.
6) As one of his first acts as President, Donald Trump will order that federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams be dropped or alternatively, Trump will simply pardon Mayor Adams.
7) The ratings of MSNBC and CNN will continue to collapse and by the end of the year, both cable news channels will have new owners.
8) The Netflix adaptation of Garcia-Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude” will win at least three Emmy Awards including: Outstanding or Limited Anthology Series, Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Writing.
9) Christopher Nolan (the Director of Oppenheimer) will begin shooting his new epic, Homer’s “Odyssey.” The film will not appear in theaters until 2027.
10) Claire Berlinski will continue her excellent efforts to inform her readers, but it will occur to her to expand the number of topics that she covers beyond the emphasis on just Ukraine and the Middle East conflict. A personal plea from a loyal reader (me); more social commentary where she excels would be great!
These are such good questions Claire! Had to show my ignorance by not responding to a couple due to my lack of knowledge but there were definitely several on there where I had to choose answer and secretly wish that it wouldn't come true even though it seems like it will!!
