How's your ESP? What does the New Year have in store for us, and the world? List them here, the more outrageous the better.

Here are mine:

1. It's Trump and Hillary for the major party nominations. Gary Johnson, with a last name more befitting the other two, wins the Libertarian nomination again.

2. The day after the presidential election, lines form outside gun stores and ISIS recruiting centers.

3. Republicans lose two Senate seats, but retains control of both the House and Senate.

4. Interest rates and inflation both rise. Paul Volcker smiles and says, "I told you so!"

5. Airforce welcomes his first great grandchild into the world. "You now owe the federal government $60,000," he says to him or her.

6. The president-elect vows to reform ObamaCare, ******* it up even more than it already is.

Those are mine, but my ESP has never been all that great. What are yours?

Onward and upward,
airforce

I'll take what you got (congrats future great grandpa!) and add that oil stays between 30 and 50 bucks a barrel while gas prices slightly rise and gold rises a hundred bucks or more a Troy ounce.

Life liberty, and the pursuit of those who threaten them.

Trump: not the president America needs, but the president America deserves.

#2 WRONG Hillery will not win.

#3 WRONG Republicans may even gain Two Senate seats.

If there are more Islamic Attacks in the USA the Election looks better for Trump and the more Islamic Attacks there are before the Election the better it will will be for Trump or if he gets the Nomination Cruz.

Actually, I never said that Hillary would win. My prediction is that this will happen, no matter who wins (unless Gary Johnson performs a miracle).

Will there be more terrorist attacks? I wouldn't bet against it. And I wouldn't bet against Trump advocating a new "assault weapons" ban in response.

The GOP gaining two senate seats? Possible, with a strong GOP win in November. But the Republicans will have more senate seats in play than the Democrats, so that would be hard to pull off. Actually, I'll be happy if Arizona Republicans can primary out John McCain, who I tend to count as a Democrat anyway.

Breacher, it said "no video was found."

Here are the [b]Washington Post[/b]\'s predictions. There will be a "brokered" Republican convention, Cruz will be the nominee, Obama will lose his cool at some point, and Trump will become a political analyst.

Read the whole thing at the link.

If Trump or Cruz become President I do not see People Panicking and buying up every gun they can like they would if an Avowed Gun Banner like Hillery became President.

If Trump were to advocate for a New Assault Weapons Ban I think that might be enough to cost him the Election, when gun owners refuse to vote or vote Third Party in protest.

And a little more on Trump wanting to Ban Assault Weapons.

So far Trump has not shown any willingness for any more Gun Control Laws. And he seems to understand that Gun Control will not stop Islamic Terrorist Attacks.

If he did propose a Gun Ban that would be reversing his position and to do that before an Election would be very stupid and Trump is not stupid.

Now after he wins the Election who really knows what he would do but before no way.
