Very interesting predictions. I hope you're right about Pollievre and Trump getting along. That alliance could Make Canada Rich Again. I'd like to see your thoughts abouts Melei's prospects in Argentina.

Thanks; I have been watching Milei with considerable interest, although I've not delved into the effect of many of his policies, which I know have been disrupted. I like what he's doing thus far very much. I'll delve more into it.

Fascinating list! I think Kennedy makes it through to HHS. I tend to agree with your DOGE assessment. Canada is shifting so fast!

I’m less confident on keeping the current Speaker in the House. We shall see!

Thanks, Joe, you could be right about Kennedy.

Good work last year. Personally, I suspect RFK survives - mostly because base Republicans just don't think about HHS. But I think Gabbard will have a tougher time getting through. I hope you are right about Johnson surviving as Speaker, but it might only happen if Trump demands they select him on day one so that they can count the electoral college votes three days later.

Thanks, Mark, I agree with your Johnson scenario. And I could see Vance having to cast a tie-breaking vote to confirm RFK. Then the fun will begin.
