Predictions For 2016

I have been doing predictions for the past several years, with the exception of last year.  I usually do better than the talking heads or writers who are paid to follow the news and make predictions.  In 2014, I had about a 64% accuracy rate:  http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2014/12/so-how-did-my-2014-predictions-turn-out.html
And unlike the talking heads or writers, I won't just a couple of predictions, I will make at least 30.
So, with a couple beers in the tummy and a blank crystal ball and brain, I make the following predications for 2016:
