Ten Things I Expect in 2021 Now

 1.  Governor Cuomo of NY probably won't be around by the end of the year. Between sexual harassment, the Covid-19 business with the nursing homes, and just incompetence....he'll have to exit.

2.  The court case in Minneapolis with Derek Chauvin?  They will not be able to convict him.  More riots in the city?  Probably....but this will come back to rest on the Biden team for reactions.

3.  For the rest of 2021, President Biden is basically in a campaign mode (against Trump)....whether he likes it or not.

4.  I'm predicting for the rest of 2021....the new AG Merrick Garland will be mostly unnoticed and barely of significant value to the White House.

5.  The Pentagon, by mid-summer, will order all military personnel to get Covid-19 vaccinated....whether they like the idea or not.

6.  No in-person State-of-the-Union speech will occur.  It'll be a virtual episode, with several noticeable cuts/pastes involved in the video.

7.  The opportunity to bring DC in as a state?  It'll drag on through October, and then get dropped entirely.  If you had a dynamic President (Clinton, Obama or Trump)....pushing the agenda, then it would happen.  

8.  The anti-Trump conservatives/Republicans that exist?  By the end of the year....they will find themselves drifting around with no public support, and marginally any news media support (mostly CNN and MSNBC).

9.  President Biden's cognitive situation will be openly discussed after the summer vacation period of the House/Senate.  The discussion will center....can they wait till after the mid-term election of 2022, or do they have to make the move to dump him by January 2022?  Some in the public will grasp this whole dynamic and ask....when exactly did people start to notice this decline, and the news media will refuse to discuss the topic. 

10.  For the remainder of 2021....I believe the stock market will be a up and down situation....with marginal gains for the year.
