The best thing about the future is you can say whatever you like about it without fear of being wrong, because it has not happened yet. That is, unless you are foolish enough to remind people of your past predictions. Even though none of us can see around corners, we like to imagine what the coming year holds. Even if it is just for amusement, making predictions at this time of year is a fun exercise. So, once again here are what the omen in Lagos are telling us about the coming year.
The forecast for the Democrat primary is a three cushion shot. First, Buttigieg pulls the shocker and wins the Iowa caucus. Sanders comes in second. Biden and Warren both fail to reach expectations as minor candidates nibble away at their support. This carries into New Hampshire, where Sanders wins, but Buttigieg comes in second. This makes him the darling of the cat lady media. The Warren campaign is effectively over, but she staggers on. Biden plans to make his stand in South Carolina.
People forget that Sanders gave Clinton a run for her muumuu in the Nevada caucus in 2016, despite the party cheating like mad on her behalf. Sanders will win the Nevada caucus this time, but Buttigieg will come in second with Biden a close third. This will setup the big showdown in South Carolina. Biden, having been weakened by three bad showings will see his black support slip. The result will be a three way jumble, which will turn the race into a Buttigieg versus Sanders battle.
This will be the great shredding of the Democrat coalition. Blacks are not all that fond of Sanders or Buttigieg. The remaining working class whites are not fond of these two either. The donors who run both parties will not want to see Sanders top the ticket, so they will swing hard for Buttigieg. What will become clear to the various tribes of the Democrat party is they are not all that important to the party. They will learn what conservatives are starting to learn about the Republicans…
The chaos of the Democrat primary will have one benefit and that will be a lightening up of the tech censorship. They will be much too concerned with the primary to go troll hunting for blasphemers. There’s also the fact that a lot was learned by the good guy in the great banning wars. Just as people learned to communicate bad thoughts during the Soviet Union, dissidents are now adopting language and postures that allow bad ideas to be transmitted in spite of speech codes….
The decline of Conservative Inc. will become acute as National Review begins to look for a white knight to keep the publication going. The fact is, the readership of that publication is being decimated by the actuarial tables. The typical reader is now over 70 years old. They never recovered from 2016 and more important, they have not been able to find their footing in the age of Trump. Like the rest of Conservative Inc., National Review is a legacy operations with no natural constituency…
In sports, the Premiere League will have its first trans player…
Not only will Brexit finally happen, it will be something closer to the hard exit that the usual suspects waved around to scare people. What will become obvious to the EU and Boris Johnson is that a clean break is the best. A new trade agreement will be hammered out similar to what the US currently has with the EU. At the same time, a free trade deal will be quickly negotiated between the UK and the US. The Anglosphere will move one step closer to becoming an economic bloc…
Nancy Pelosi will send the articles of impeachment over to the Senate on the agreement that there will be no actual trial. The right thing for the GOP to do is have a public trial and let Team Trump make their arguments about the seditious plot and the Democrat connections to Ukrainian corruption. This would destroy the Democrats in the 2020 election and give the GOP a shot at winning back the House. It would be a public relations catastrophe for the political establishment.
That’s why McConnell will never allow that to happen. Instead, it will be a closed door session, where they do nothing, then a public vote. There will be a few GOP traitors like Mitt Romney who will vote to convict, but otherwise it will fail. This will give the Democrats enough cover with their base, but also give the GOP leverage to force Trump into concessions. They have several amnesty bills, for example, ready for his signature. Impeachment will be good for The Swamp…
In January, Bill Barr will announce that he is looking to some things about the FBI scandal, but is waiting on yet another inspector general report. In March he will remind everyone he is still looking into the FBI issue. In June rumors will float around about Durham doing something. By fall, the election will require putting all of it aside as that would be seen as an unnecessary distraction. The point being is that nothing will come of the Durham investigation. The whole thing gets broomed…
Finally, the big item of the year is the election. Trump will be running from behind again, but this time he will not be sneaking up on anyone. Pete Buttigieg will make sure to sashay around the Rust Belt promising everyone a fabulous economy. While having a twink president of clown world would make sense, the result this time will be similar to last time. Trump wins a slim majority in the popular vote, as blacks stay home. In one of life’s ironies, the racists are saved by the black man…

The Democrats understand they do not need to go anywhere for votes. They own the people who COUNT the votes. And they are the only ones that matter!
For quite a number of years now, the hives have reported vote count totals SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER than the number of voting eligible people who live there. Neither “Law Enforcement” nor the “Legal” system have done ANYTHING about that.
I predict that finally the JQ will be answered.
My main prediction is that in 2020 we will see the first casualties of political violence when someone gets killed by antifa throwing a rock at their head or something, or perhaps someone attending a rally fights back and kills some soyboy. The election stuff is going to be window dressing for the most serious stuff going down. I can’t see Buttpirate winning the nomination, too many people still rightly find it distasteful to for a dude to sodomize another dude. What is his actual platform other than “Vote for me, I have sex with men”?
What about the gun grab in Virginia, Z?
I have not been following it close enough to have an opinion. If the lunatics do a gun grab, the gun owners will go along with it. it will end up in Federal court and drag on for a decade, so nothing will happen.
This will launch the Soviet Union style collapse. Soviet Union collapse was started also sanctuary everything neighborhoods. For example, in my hometown people were angry that visitors buy the food and bombed municipality until town Executive Committee printed something like food buying stamps and ordered local shops not to sell food to people without them. This was illegal, but nobody cared. Later other areas begun make their local rules and in the very end we had country filled with “sanctuary whatever” mess and central governing became impossible.
I am going to take a more white pilled view of Barr and Durham. I think some people go to jail. Not Obama or Hillary but maybe Brennan and low level FBI? Someone has to be sacrificed for normie conservative to continue his buying into the system. Too much risk not to convict someone. Is the national government ready to expose itself as completely outside of Saun Hannity viewership and Rush Limbaugh’s listenership control? I don’t think so, not yet. And I think Trump wins again in 2020. And like most second term Presidents in the modern age. Trump will… Read more »
I’d love to see it but I think Brennan’s a spook too far – the upper-echelon Deep State would see it as an infringement on their prerogatives unless he has pissed off a lot of his peers (ala Epstein).
“In sports, the Premiere League will have its first trans player…”
I’m really hoping a transgender breaks into women’s tennis and makes all the girls cry.
Two things: don’t you mean knight as in medieval warrior in “ white night ”? And is Bloomberg out of the campaign?
Broadly similar to my views at least in terms of the outcome.
I’m tired of current year so I’ve been binge watching Thames TV news programs from the 1970s and 1980s. So much more fun and I know how things end anyway.
Hope that this next year is a damn sight better than last.
Happy New Year and may it bring positive things for the Z-man, this blog, and all his readers and like-minded folks.
Avanti 2020!
“The right thing for the GOP to do is have a public trial and let Team Trump make their arguments about the seditious plot and the Democrat connections to Ukrainian corruption. This would destroy the Democrats in the 2020 election and give the GOP a shot at winning back the House.” Don’t forget who controls the media. Facts don’t matter much, as it’s the spin and the lies that do. Even if Team Trump provided strong evidence that water is wet, those in control of the “news” will obfuscate, lie, manipulate, and spin dry the story. Mere facts will not… Read more »
Great post Z-man. I love predictions and you gave us some good ones. I will take a small shot myself. I think the situation for the right and normies continues to get worse. Much worse. But in that happening there may be a silver lining. I predict more normal people start to reject the fake-conservative ideas of Conservative, Inc. and move more to the right. I predict that many will even see that the blacks and browns are far more racist than whites ever were. (and that everyone prefers their own tribe — everyone) Christianity and “the church” is dying… Read more »
Prognostication is a tough act with last night’s festivities still 1812’ing in my head, but here goes. Tchaikovsky knew his audience, BTW – more fireworks here last night than July 4, and well past 3:00 am. Happy New Year to all you laggers on US time. I’m in broad agreement with a lot of Z’s takes, but Orange Man is my Black Pill. Bootystuff will be more sassy than many imagine and it will turn a lot of Blacks further off to politics, to the point where even a free ride to the polls and a carton of Newports won’t… Read more »
Even if Trump miraculously wins it will be quickly undone. Shlomo, Shlomo & Shlomo didn’t like the results of 2016 so they undid enough of that election until they could get the results they could live with. Trump’s reelection might buy us some time but nothing else. On the other hand a defeated Trump facing endless litigation in his post-presidency…with 2 months in control of the presidency? He could do a lot of damage to the current arrangements. Trump lashing out to get back at enemies and to protect his own skin could be a period of major acceleration. Even… Read more »
Your optimism is infectious.
Sid, I’m having fun thinking of who the Based Billionaire would be. I think all of Us who write at all have played around with the idea as a story before. Trump coulda been that guy, what a sad fail…
Caitlyn offing xyrself is just playing decent odds – how many trannies don’t at least try? That said, millions of dollars beats SSRI’s for muh depression anyday. Xe will probably stick around.
Exile:
It ain’t the double shots that are making you see that Trump will probably lose.
The term often used by the judges pronouncing the sentence of death on deplorables is, “may God have mercy on your soul.”
May he indeed.
Damn exile, you’re a dour one. I’ll take a stab at some predictions. Unexplained suicides continue, including Bruce Jenner and Comey. A Black Swan event in China causes markets to crash. Two more synagogues get attacked. The dissident right attracts a billionaire benefactor. The last one may be wishful thinking.
Interesting prognostications Sir Z. I agree that Sanders or Buttigieg will be the D nominee and I agree that blacks do not like either of them. They have never liked Sanders and they do not like gays. However, all that needs to be done is to pick Stacy Abrams as VP and blacks will be onboard. It is black women who get out the vote. I totally disagree that Trump wins the popular vote and I think that there is only a small chance (maybe 25%) that he wins the electoral college. I worked extensively in two D presidential election… Read more »
ExNativeSon said : “I worked extensively in two D presidential election campaigns” = what the frack?
National Review begins to look for a white night
LOL, I think the Zman takes dancing lessons every day just to be ready for National Review’s grave.
a lightening up of the tech censorship
Wishful thinking and alcohol are a dangerous combination.
I am also drunk, so I will forgive.

I know someone in the Conservative Inc. fund raising world. She tells me they are in deep trouble. The rumor in the business is they are not long for this world.
I’d be surprised if they weren’t. They weren’t flush with cash when Bill was still pissing in traffic and they’ve gone noticeably downhill in every way ever since.
