If the last few years have taught us anything, when it comes to politics, culture, the economy and international events, we should always expect the unexpected. After all, did anyone expect Elon Musk to buy Twitter or Will Smith to storm the Oscars stage and deliver the “slap heard round the world” in 2022? I think not.
In that vein, here are a few predictions for what could be in store for 2023.
On the political front, I anticipate the new year will bring some fascinating revelations about the “Big Guy,” aka President Biden, and his involvement with his son’s shady foreign business dealings.
I also assume the Republican-led House of Representatives will get to the bottom of the FBI’s sinister operation in strong-arming social media companies to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story and the intelligence community’s role in running roughshod over Americans’ constitutionally protected rights.
In terms of policy, I foresee a whole lot of nothing regarding major legislation emanating from our nation’s capital, seeing as how the Republican-controlled House is not likely to entertain the Biden administration’s calls for more multi-trillion-dollar spending bills.
In 2023, gridlock is likely to overtake Washington — both in the streets (the nation’s capital has the worst traffic in the country) and on Capitol Hill.
