A bird is covered in oil at Louisiana's East Grand Terre Island in June 2010. Two months earlier, an explosion occurred aboard the Deepwater Horizon, a BP-contracted oil rig stationed in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

A wave approaches Miyako, Japan, after a 9.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in March 2011. The earthquake caused a tsunami with 30-foot waves that damaged several nuclear reactors in the area.

 

 

US President Barack Obama and members of his national security team monitor the Navy SEALs raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011. "Fourteen people crammed into the room, the President sitting in a folding chair on the corner of the table's head," said CNN's Peter Bergen as he relived the bin Laden raid five years later. "They sat in this room until the SEALs returned to Afghanistan."

 

Children are escorted out of Sandy Hook Elementary School after a mass shooting occurred at the school in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.

Nope. The Redskins will be purchased by Jeff Bezos. It’s not all good news. He will change the name to The Washington Amazon’s. Our logo will be a wetallic faux armor W and our color scheme will be red, blue, and gold. 
 

Training camp will be renamed Paradise Island.

Happy New Year!  Less than 8 hours until 2020, time for some 2020 Predictions.

 

My 2020 Predictions 

1.  Trump will not be convicted in the Senate impeachment trial.  It will be a 53-47 vote but the ticker here is that at least 2 Dems will vote not to convict and 2 Repubs will vote to convict.

2. Biden and Sanders are the favorite for the Dem nomination but I have no clue who will win the nomination. It won't matter, the winner will not have full support of all the potential Democratic voters.

3. Trump dumps Pence and puts Nikki Haley on the ticket.

4. The GOP's last gasp.  Trump wins the electoral college again & loses popular vote by 5 million. The House flips barely to the GOP. The Senate is only a 51-49 GOP majority.

5. The Supreme Court comes close to overturning Obamacare & banning abortion. 

6. Trump has the U.S. in some new military conflict, in part to help with his polls numbers.

7. Ravens win Superbowl. Lakers win NBA Championship. Capitols win Stanley Cup. Yankees win World Series. Redskins win 10 games and NFC East and win a playoff game.

8. We lose the 95 year old Jimmy Carter this year.

9. A major earthquake finally hits California. Not the big one but a pretty devastating one. Trump does little to help California.

 

My Predictions for 2020's Decade 

1.  The 2 years of the full GOP control again, are the darkest in American history.  This time around, they pass some of the most right wing legislation in American history.

2.  The long awaited next recession occurs in 2021.  It ends up being a Depression as things collapse left and right.  Trump & the GOP are unable to turn things around.

3.  RBG dies early in Trump's 2nd term. The new right justice results in the overturning of Obamacare and the banning of abortion by Summer of 2022.

4.  In the 2022 midterms, progressives rise to power.  Even more historic than 2018. The Dems win back the House and the Senate. Dems wins majority in state legislatures and majority of state governorships.

5. In 2023, Trump is impeached again and this time removed from office. Nikki Haley becomes the 46th President.

6. 2024 sees even more progressive victories.  A progressive Democratic in the Warren/Sanders mold wins election. The Dems win even more power. The younger voters who rose up in 2022, rise up even more in 2024.  You finally see that shift in direction.

7. The rest of decade; you see a shift to progressive policies and you finally see action taken on immigration, healthcare, climate change, etc...

8. 2028- AOC is on the Democratic ticket.
