Predictions (My Crystal Ball)

 First, before spring of 2026, at least five US metro-cities will have Nat'l Guard folks assigned and patrolling (probably a 90 to 120 day deployment situation).  Federal prosecutors will be doing daily charges....via the fed-court system, and bond will be substantial to cover if detained for any assault or physical violence.  Vast majority of public support....going against Democratic Mayors/Governors.  By mid-summer 2026, realization will occur that they picked the wrong side and their stupidity has lost votes for the mid-term election.

2.  Some foundation will go and test 18-year old school kids graduating....determining that more than one-third of them should not be any further along than the 8th grade of school, and that half of them are entering some first year of college (oddly enough).  

3.  After the Putin-Trump peace deal is done....with 3 districts of Ukraine 'given' to Russia.....two years will pass and reporters will find fewer than 20-percent of original population (2020 levels) reside in the three districts, and that most of the Russian-ethnic class....refuse to live in what they see as a ghetto-like situation....either leaving for Russia itself, or for Ukraine.

What Happens In DC AFTER The Nat'l Guard Arrives?

 I pondered over this, and would offer six observations:

1. Once Trump's 'crew' of Nat'l Guard arrives to 'check' on crime in DC, and interact with the Capital Police....I expect the Capital Police chief to attempt to be the 'authority' over the situation,  and within a week....be on suspended status by order of the President.

2.  I expect a financial review of police funds, and DC funds to occur shortly....identifying a minimum of $20-M a year in some money-pit, and no way to explain the situation.  I also expect them to find a number of Capital Police  on  long-term rehab situations (more than a year), and worthless while occupying a billet.  

3.  DC judges will be found 'lacking', and mostly just working for juvenile 'gangs'.  The suggestion will come up that either they are blackmailed, or getting some under-the-table bribes.  A change in policy will result in policy will introduce fed-judges to handle the juveniles (probably by December).

4.  By October....curfew for under-18 will be established.  

5.  Democrats in DC will find by survey results....more than 80-percent of the city residents approve of what Trump is doing. 

6.  Finally, this period will end in 6 months....proclaimed a success, and 1,500 new federal police will be added.....with a federal appointee established to run the police in DC.....leaving the mayor and city council out of control.
