Lousy. That’s how we did on our 2020 predictions.
Nobody saw the global insanity of the lockdowns, the Cult of the Mask, the covidiots, the scale of the election cheating, and that the results would be thrown into dispute. We all missed the Black Luciferian Menaces, a.k.a. Black Lunatic Marauders, and Antifa riots, the wholesale destruction and massive state-approved smashing and thieving, the fall of statues and monuments, again with the tacit approval of government, the rise of anti-white fervor. Though there were some minor victories along that front, too, as when Trump banned anti-white training in government offices.
Johnathan Pollard receiving a hero’s welcome from Benjamin Netanyahu (rumor is he will receive Israel’s coveted USS Liberty award). Barr interfering in the election by pretending not to interfere. From the view of the Deep State, he’s a hero. The FBI marshaling all their considerable forces and investigative powers to examine a garage pull string in Florida. “Conservative” Neil Gorsuch peeling back lawyers of the Constitution to discover the heretofore hidden right that men who say they’re women must be called women. The suicide of professional sports and their transmogrification into political organizations.
All the big events were missed by everybody, including Yours Truly.

No one could foresee the “VIRUS”. It’s outside the realm of any predictions. Fauci may have known, but he reportedly had insider information.
No one would have bothered to mention a crooked election or burning cities, knowing full well they would be laughed out of town. “THAT cannot happen in the United States”. Why bother??? Same for the transmogrification of sports and evil billionaires. Not worth the zeros and ones.
It would have been impossible to predict “The Turnip in the Basement”. (Our one predictor paired him with a “powerhouse”, which NEVER happened) No one knew the Dems had enough money to buy everyone else off. As for electing the Turnip, that would have predicted the cheating and the virus. The virus allowed them to avoid the “Hillary trap”. Plus a few million counterfeit ballots and a bunch of incredibly stupid sheep in this country.
Seriously, THEY ANNOUNCED THEIR METHOD OF CHEATING BEFORE THE ELECTION. Even Biden spoke of it years ago. Who could NOT see this coming?????
Interesting that we are in the realm of crystal balls on a statistics site…..Maybe we should have to show our work. Of course, that would take the fun out of the game and everyone would bow out. Let’s face it, crystal balls are cool and stats are not. (I’d be happy to show my work for “They’ll burn the place to ground” prediction 2021.)
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.

I always thought it was Yogi Berra. 🙂
Great work, judge!
I’d like to appeal the “no winner” decision.
Look at Fred’s results–he’s 4.95 out of 5.
Seems like that is a winner.
Do this appeal need to go a higher level?
FRED
1. Trump will once again lose the ppopular vote and win the EC. YES AND SORT OF NO
3. Republicans will retain the Senate but Democrats will retain the House. YES
4. RBG will shuffle off this mortal coil. The resulting confirmation hearings will make the Kavanaugh hearings look like a Sunday school picnic. YES AND NO
5. Iran will continue to provoke us. We will respond, but there will not be a war. YES AND YES
All my predictions for 2021 will turn out to be correct. I can feel it!

Hanson’s prediction about E.T.s making themselves known … well, the UFO updates come pretty darn close.
Start trying to predict the future and God knows where you’ll end up.
Dear Briggs. TY for all of the work you do
Stop the Steal. Stop the whining. You LOST the election. 😉
