Every year I have made predictions for the upcoming year and in 2017 I made the following predictions and here are the results:

2. New England Patriots will play in the Super Bowl. True and they won
3. Green Bay Packers are Super Bowl champs. Sadly, no.
4. My NBA team the Milwaukee Bucks will make the playoffs. Yes, true
5. The Bucks will go out in the 1st or 2nd round of the playoffs. Yep, went out in the 1st round
6. My baseball team , the Milwaukee Brewers will win 79 games, give or take 5 games. Gladly, I was wrong as they won 86, just missing the playoffs.
7. The Chicago Cubs will not repeat as World Series champs. Nope
8. The Cleveland Indians will go to the World Series. Nope Houston did go.
9. Sears/Kmart will close an additional 50 stores this year, not including the stores already announced in the past several weeks. Sadly this is true.
10. ObamaCare will be severely crippled by the end of the year. It's a close call while numbers are up Trump and Congress did do severe damage and there are fewer choices higher premiums and huge deductibles. 1/2 point.
11. At least 100 miles of a fence or wall will be built or refurbished on the Southern border in 2017. Not happening

16. Angela Merkel will lose her job as German Chancellor of Germany. Close but no.
17. All of President Trump's nominees for his cabinet will be confirmed. No one was voted down so true.
18. There will be slightly fewer murders in Chicago in 2017. Yes, about 100 less but they still had about 500 or more.
19. A member of the U.S. Congress will pass away. Close but no.
20. There will be a 2nd SupremeCourt vacancy in 2017. Nope
