Well, we’re looking for 2023 predictions. Hmm. As we reach the horizon, that is 2023, it’s time to make some predictions of what the year will bring. Kevin McCarthy In My prediction will begin the year with a handful of Republicans still holding out on a vote for him to make them Speaker of the House. Now, I predict that some holdouts will give in, but this will force McCarthy to begin his speakership weaker than Nancy Pelosi began hers.
This, of course, is what D.C. lobbyists would love to be involved in to make sure they get what they want. As fractures in power, open the door for their influence. But I predict that that will only go on for half of the year. And even in this environment, House Republicans will embark on a series of hearings to expose political corruption and incompetence in the Biden administration.
And that’s a lot of work for them. And it’s going to take a lot of time. They may well succeed in part, but they will achieve success and frustration in equal measures as they encounter the White House dedicated to stonewall and such actions. And then the narrative now to their democrat folks that these republicans are do nothing ners.
The Justice Department will refuse to prosecute those who have been engaged in wrongdoing. And internal republican battles will erupt over whether to impeach cabinet officials. Then I predict, though, that going into the summer, the country will spiral deeper into a brutal recession. The bad economic times then will open the door and give Republican leadership more courage to take bold fiscal measures to get things under control.
And they’re pretty good at that. Biden’s going to push back, but he will ultimately relent to some of the economic policy demands of the House Republicans because he won’t have any other choice. This will then lead to some notable economic improvements that he’ll try to take credit for. Like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama before him. Biden will reap political benefits, however, from congressional Republicans because they will be saving him from some of his worst instincts and forcing him to make course corrections on the economy and quite possibly on immigration.
So my prediction or another prediction. As for former President Donald Trump, he’ll get louder as he sees his power wane. And this noise then will impact the messaging for Republicans as they gear up to take the governors seats in Kentucky and Louisiana, which are up for grabs in 2023. The GOP candidates in those races, though, will, I believe, adopt the playbooks of Governors DeSantis and Youngkin in order to broaden their reach into the more traditional Democrat strongholds of black and brown communities.
So we’ll see how it all plays out, how these critical issues and situations are going to stay in the headlines, as well as many more. Our nation, again, will be waiting with bated breath on how the year will unfold, as we are also going to be heavily involved in the 2024 election processes. I hope the outcome results in a more prosperous and perfect union.
Better than what we saw in 2022. Whew. Oh, and another prediction, of course, is time will tell.

Biden is wrong to support Supreme Court reform
The Supreme Court’s public legitimacy crisis continues to escalate after it issued a series of major recent decisions perceived by many Americans as overtly partisan, most recently the July 1 ruling in Trump v.

Black Americans should vote for Donald Trump
In the 2020 elections, 92% of single-race Black, non-Hispanic voters cast their ballots for President Joe Biden, while only 8% voted for Donald Trump. That one-sided turnout followed a summer of nationwide protests against police violence largely organized by Black Americans in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, and then-President Trump’s crackdown on those protests…
