Any vision of the moron and his thugs being arrested is pleasurable, but atop Mount Rushmore, chiseling tools and dynamite in hand? Even better. They'll be in the slammer for decades for defacing a national monument.

Thanks for the laughs! Happy New Year!

Bob Dunning's avatar

Same to you, Carolee.

May it be the best one so far.

I chuckled at all of these predictions, though I must admit a bit of confusion at why they are aimed at 2025 and not 2026?

Bob Dunning's avatar

Yes, an intentional typo, Andy, just to see if everyone is awake and alert and a long night of partying. Thanks for pointing it out.

All I had to drink last night was one glass of Martinelli’s, so that’s probably why your test didn’t get past me. I would love to share your predictions on NextDoor, but I’m not sure if that is allowed, seeing as how this is one of your many income streams. How about if I pick 5 and mention the rest can be found on your feed?

Bob Dunning's avatar

You can publish the whole thing on Next Door, Andy. Please do. Much appreciated.

Wait…WHAT? The Wary One made a “typo”😳?

Bob Dunning's avatar

I was typing with my toes at 2 a.m. because my fingers froze up.

Hegseth says that's a court-martialing offense.

Andy Monheit's avatar

Fantastic! Do you want me to keep the predictions as intended for 2025 or for 2026?

Andy Monheit's avatar

Dang, just finished posting as is. I will see if I can edit. EDIT: Good news: Since I used the Share feature from Substack your update to 2026 is what is seen.

Other News: I’m not sure what people see first when they click on the link. It seems to take me to something that asks a person to input name and email, basically sign up for Substack. I’m not sure if a person can get around that hurdle to easily see your predictions.

How about copy and paste?

>> AMBITION KNOWS NO BOUNDS (December 14) ... Suddenly realizing he could be president NOW, J.D. Vance demands “immediate and full disclosure” of the Epstein files, with no redactions for co-conspirators.

LOL! I'm sending this one to my friends (former federal employees who got DOGE'd).

Thank you, Bob. Happy New Year!

Bob Dunning's avatar

Thanks, Alan. Send it away

Bob..The photo of you and your Carnac attire is great. You might need to explain to your readers who are under 70 years of age that “it was a routine from the Johnny Carson Show”. Your predictions are spot on —or at least funny. As others have said thanks for bringing your humor to us. Happy New Year…

Bob Dunning's avatar

Thanks so much, Jim.

Shelley and Mick get the Carnac credit.

LOVED this column. Thank you so much, Bob, for the humor you spread at a time in our country that seems mostly dark. Here's hoping for brighter times. Best to all the Dunnings in 2026.

Bob Dunning's avatar

Thanks so much, Anne

Best to you in 2026 as well

Carol Coder's avatar

I think this my favorite of your columns. I love the Carnac image too. Good job!

Bob Dunning's avatar

Thanks a million, Carol.

Means a ton to me.

All the Best for a great New Year

Great job, Carnac...errors, I mean Bob. You've done it again. I know you meant 2026 instead of 2025 because I don't know anyone who wants to see last year again. Happy New Year to you and all of yours. ❤️

Bob Dunning's avatar

Same to you and your family, Chris

What about giving Hegseth a second try on Moscow, ME?

Happy New Year!

Leave the Bagleys alone!

To be thorough, Davis should also ban beggars eating beige bagels. And all travel to or from Baghdad.

Bob Dunning's avatar

I should have consulted with you, Ted, but the hour was late

I’d say, “You can’t make this stuff up,” (but ya did)…and it’s hilarious, Bob. Pure gold🌟

As a colleague of mine would say, “Hey…it could happen.”🤔💭

Bob Dunning's avatar

I'm afraid it will all happen, Bill.

Happy New Year.

Bill Weisgerber's avatar

…awaiting with bated breath…

Catherine Watters's avatar

Thank you for the fun 2026 predictions. Happy New Year, Bob, I look forward to more of your entertaining posts. 😃

Bob Dunning's avatar

A complete joy to have you reading my stuff, Catherine.

Happy New Year.
