Way to finish the year on yet another outrage. This year can\u2019t end soon enough, though (as my next column shall expand upon) 2021 hardly bodes better.<\/p>\n<p>Every year I predict things and every year things turn out far stupider than I imagined.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/kurtschlichter\/2019\/12\/30\/heres-what-is-whats-going-to-happen-in-2020-n2558641\">My 2020 predictions<\/a>, like everyone else\u2019s except Michael Crichton\u2019s, missed the big story, the worldwide freakout over a moderately more virulent flu than usual that drove the globalist Establishment to demand everyone who was not one of them wrap a diaper around their pieholes and demolish their livelihoods in an effort to cheat death by slipping past the 99.9 percent survival rate for regular folks. I admit it \u2013 I did not see societal suicide coming, at least not cultural\u00a0<em>hara kiri<\/em>\u00a0in the form of a pandemic panic promoted by French Laundry regulars and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/columns\/stacey-lennox\/2020\/12\/25\/worshipping-bureaucrat-dr-anthony-fauci-as-a-false-idol-at-christmas-is-so-2020-n1286358\">admitted liars we stupidly handed over control of our public health system<\/a>\u00a0to.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, I did okay. Before I even get to evaluating to my specific predictions, I need to take credit for telling you to buy guns and ammunition, which you did \u2013 to the tune of<a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/tomk\/2020\/12\/23\/21-million-guns-panic\/\">\u00a021 million new freedom modules<\/a>. This is a good start, but America\u2019s gun crisis continues\u2026millions of citizens lack the firepower to deter and destroy criminals and tyrants. It\u2019s America\u2019s greatest challenge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hlw\">\n<div class=\"hl-wrapper\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-728x90_2\" class=\"gpt-ad\" data-google-query-id=\"CL_Wu-bj8O0CFZThKAUdJOgLfg\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/6177\/slm.townhall\/columnists\/728x90_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s my 2020 Top 10 countdown and how I did on each.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Trump Will Be Impeached\u2026Yawn:<\/strong>\u00a0I told you Nancy Pelosi would try it and fail and she did. I told you the Murder Turtle would put a round in its forehead. And I told you that \u201cMitt the Gimp will vote for it because he\u2019s weak and stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. The Economy Will Stay Strong, Disappointing Democrats:<\/strong>\u00a0This one was mixed. They tried to destroy the economy with flu foolishness yet it keeps stubbornly coming back. Remember, they want you poor. You\u2019re easier to control when you are begging for scraps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Virginia Will Declare War on Its Citizens:<\/strong>\u00a0The liberals who had been elected as moderates in the Old Dominion in 2019 tried to oppress their citizens but caught a lot of push-back. Not enough to turn the state from blue back to American, but it did not quite become California \u2013 at least not yet. And the commonwealth\u2019s garbage governor has still not clarified if he was the one in blackface or the Klan get-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Replacing Justice Ginsburg:<\/strong>\u00a0I called this one, right down to Trump naming Amy Coney Barrett and Cocaine Mitch jamming her through. I predicted she would have to deny that she ran a rape gang in elementary school, but instead, she basically had to deny she is a\u00a0<em>Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> LARPer. Close enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Trans Fascism Backlash:<\/strong>\u00a0The anticipated backlash against this bizarre cultural delusion was not particularly pronounced, yet, but \u201cnormal people are getting tired of being told they have to lie and say there are 631 sexes, and they are tired of militant jerks wanting boys hanging out in their girls\u2019 locker room, and they are getting sick of boys winning girls\u2019 sports championships.\u201d Instead of getting mad when some pinko creep starts babbling about \u201ccis-het transphobiness,\u201d most people are more like \u201cYeah, whatevs. No one cares about your obsessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Pardon This:<\/strong>\u00a0Got this one! \u201cGeneral Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort will all be cleared, probably right after the election.\u201d Now Trump needs to pardon everyone else.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/kurtschlichter\/2020\/12\/17\/pardon-everyone-n2581630\">And I mean everyone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Durham\u2019s Indictments:<\/strong> Well, there was one, some rando flunky they caught lying on a FISA application. Meh. So far, Durham has been yet another disappointment in a long line of DOJ disappointments. If you think justice is coming, if you think Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and that Looming Doofus Comey and the rest of that squalid little clique will ever be held accountable, stop day drinking. It\u2019s clouding your mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Foreign Policy Success<\/strong>: I called this. The National Security Council, \u201cunder the properly low-key and sober guidance of Robert O\u2019Brien,\u201d has been a paragon of competence and success. Under O\u2019Brien, we cut back on overseas conflicts, continued the military rebuild, and finally broke the Middle East peace deadlock that the smart set of our useless foreign policy establishment said was unbreakable. Of course, President Asterisk will squander it all, but we\u2019ll always have 2020. Oh, and I rightly predicted a higher profile for future president Ric Grenell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Democrats Will Lose the House:<\/strong>\u00a0 Close, but not quite. Wait until 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Trump Will Get Reelected:<\/strong>\u00a0I was right on this one. He got reelected. It\u2019s just that the giant scam that was the 2020 election stole it.<\/p>\n<p>I predicted they would nominate Grandpa Badfinger and thought he would pick Sitting Bolshevik as his VP. I also thought \u201c[h]e\u2019s gotta choose a girl and Willie Brown\u2019s Ex is out for dissing him,\u201d but I didn\u2019t count on his total lack of personal dignity. I predicted that \u201c[o]nce nominated, Gropey J will continue to commit gaffes,\u201d and predicted that \u201cthe Lil\u2019 Crackpipe factor\u201d would mean nothing because \u201cHoover Biden, the nominee\u2019s Snortunate Son, will have another crack issue, or another paternity suit, or maybe both \u2013 which the garbage media will tell us is none of our business and is not important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, I missed the flu, and I just missed the left\u2019s flex in a half-dozen blue metro areas to steal the election. I also missed the riots, which I though would come after the Trump reelection in 2021. Kind of big things to miss. But then again no one could get this most Tatery twelve months right. Dumb, repulsive, and annoying \u2013 yes, 2020 was truly the Brian Stelter of years.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, my greatest prognostications are inside my action-packed conservative novels that chronicle America torn apart into red and blue nations, with antics and gunplay ensuing.
