We failed pretty badly predicting 2024, so let's try this again!
Please don't post something like "No way to predict." We know that. Cowboy up and do it anyway.
I will make a note on my calendar to revisit and revive this thread in January of 2025, so we can see how we did.
Here are a couple other people's predictions to inspire you:

Here’s what I think will happen in 2025:
The Senate will confirm almost all of Trump’s nominees because the Senate Republicans will, amazingly, choose not to be stupid.
The House Republicans will choose to be stupid, predictably. They will fight over the speakership and eventually settle on Speaker Johnson. He will then screw up the reconciliation process. Half of the GOP caucus will want the status quo and will not compromise, and half will not want the status quo and will not compromise. Also, random deaths, arrests, and betrayals will mean the majority is always precarious. I expect to barely keep it.
The tech overlords will get past the visa fight but grow frustrated at the resistance to DOGE’s campaign. There is a chance they will depart from their temporary coalition with the GOP.
The economy will boom under Trump, as in the eighties under Reagan. Sadly, our new music will not be similarly awesome.
The Houthis will learn about war the hard way when we stop taking guff from these desert dorks under President Trump.
China will not invade Taiwan because they are scared of Trump. They will keep building up forces though.
Trump will end the war in Ukraine, or at least stop the fighting and replace it with a Slavic mini-Cold War. That beats the current bloodbath. No one will be happy about it except those of us sick of the butchery.
Israel will end the war in Gaza by killing all those semi-human terrorist slugs. But the hostages will be mostly murdered.
Iran’s mullahs will behave or die. Personally, I prefer option two.
Canada will not become our 51st state, but Castro’s dumb son will get tossed out. We won’t buy Greenland; frankly, we should just take it.
SCOTUS will remind the lower courts that it means what it said about there being a right to keep and bear arms that shall not be infringed.
