Potential 2018 shockers:

Russia leaks a very small part of the PP tapes to keep Trump in line but Russia denies it. Trump deflects and denies.

Julian Assange of Wikileaks makes a deal with Mueller team and squeals.

Those predicting Bannon's diownfall are proved dead wrong as some of his backed people do make it into congress including several that make Trey Gowdy look liberal by comparison.

Why would Julian Assange make any deal at all? What do we have to give the guy, who is still living in a foreign embassy for Pete's sake and as far as I know, dating Pamela Anderson. Guy's got a nice situation.

On the economic side:

What a Weak Dollar Means in 2018: Staycations and Local Shopping

“Consumer purchasing power will be lower, so they will feel a slight pinch,” said Minh Trang, senior foreign-exchange trader at Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara, California.

Many natural resources including oil, metals and agricultural commodities are denominated in dollars, so when the currency declines, prices for such materials typically rise. West Texas Intermediate crude has climbed around 11 percent this year, while gasoline futures are up about 8 percent.

Some good predictions in alot of these responses. Steve bannons declining influence on the political stage after leaving the trump campaign seems to have been one of the worst predictions of 2017.

Breitbart is now one of the top 50 most visited web sites in the country, and he is always in most campaigns. He is scaring the mainstream Republican establishment. I love it.

Prediction: It will be proved that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia. There will be many indictments.

How do I know? Senator Blumenthal says so:
