Happy 2026, everyone!
The Legal Insurrection crew has some predictions for 2026. What are yours? Leave them in the comments.
These are optimistic longshots, I know, but here goes:
I predict 2026 will be an a-mazing year. The woke right is actively being kicked out of the tent and into the gutter where they belong. We’re seeing the very beginnings of a massive taxpayer awakening thanks to the fraud being exposed in Minnesota. It’s not just daycares and it’s not just Minnesota. Americans are struggling to afford much in this life while people who hate them and hate this country stroll in and bilk the taxpayers out of their hard earned money. The inflection point is near and it will be glorious. Maybe we’ll finally rid ourselves of this “temporary” income tax while we’re at it. A girl can dream, anyway. I also think this is going to be an amazing year for the Legal Insurrection Foundation. We’ve accomplished so much in a short time and we’re just getting started. I also predict a better than usual spring gardening season now that we’re not getting chemtrailed 5 times a day. I’m not usually excited for a new year — my new year begins on my birthday, but I think 2026 is going to be something special. The winds are changing. What waits will be glorious.
My Bears will make it to the Super Bowl! My Cubs will somewhat dominate this season…if Jed Hoyer would get us some more arms and extend Kyle Tucker.
I also bet Canada will demolish everyone in curling in the Olympics. (I loooove curling!)
Then we have the World Cup!! My beloved Italy will hopefully do something this time around after missing out on the last World Cup. Sheesh. They’re so dramatic on the pitch, though.
Okay, okay, okay. Political wise? Everything and everyone will continue to stink because a uniparty rules us.
1) California’s green retreat goes from jog to sprint: After backing away from some high‑profile climate mandates and subsidies in 2025, Sacramento quietly shelves more climate cult programs when the budget math and grid reliability both go sideways.
2) Net Zero becomes “Net Nope”: After more banks and asset managers quietly abandon high‑profile Net Zero alliances, 2026’s hot Wall Street euphemism is “transition optionality,” code for “we’re done lighting money on fire for ESG theater.”
3) Global Monkeypox Outbreak in July: A new strain of monkeypox that is more virulent and transmissible will follow after “Pride Month” festivities conclude, as biology will always triumph over narratives and agendas.
4) California’s “Bullet Train” project will be Ground Zero for a deep dive into the state’s system of fraud: Newsom, term-limited out in 2026, will be unable to hide the scale of diverted funding…leading to some interesting new choices being offered up as the 2028 Democratic Party presidential nominee.
5) The U.S. continues strengthening its Critical Minerals/Rare Earths Element supply chain: By late 2026, at least one additional allied refinery project is announced (likely in the newly liberated regions of South America), explicitly marketed as a “zero‑China nexus” heavy‑REE pathway, turning the North-South American–allied mine‑to‑magnet chain into a geopolitical selling point.
Nearly six months after the Twelve Day War, Iran is rapidly rebuilding its ballistic missile arsenal. In the coming months, we could expect an Israeli strike aimed at dismantling Iranian missile production sites and the remnants of its nuclear program.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah, likely on orders from Tehran, is rebuilding its terrorist infrastructure and refusing to disarm in blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement brokered by the Trump administration. With the Lebanese government failing to disarm Hezbollah, Israel may not be able to ignore the terrorist buildup on its northern border for long.
Gaza-based Hamas, too, isn’t going to give up its weapons voluntarily. If the proposed multi-national stabilisation force can’t disarm Hamas, the IDF may have to do its job for them.
Russia’s war on Ukraine will soon stretch into a fourth year. Europe, or to be precise, the Western European powers, have failed to rise up to the military challenge from Moscow. Whatever the outcome of the ongoing ceasefire talks, without a continued U.S. engagement, the balance of power could shift in favor of Russia, and against Europe.
My 2026 prediction is that the Minnesota fraud scandals we currently know about are going to be merely the tip of the iceberg, that what is uncovered in 2026 is going to be staggering.
Last year, I was too optimistic about the possibility of peace in Ukraine—but then again, so was Trump. I don’t see things changing there, unfortunately. The parties are too far apart from each other in their demands, and nobody wants to give in.
Trump will get bogged down in denaturalizing and deporting Somalians, but deportations of illegals will continue at the same pace.
New York City will deflate financially, politically, socially, and culturally. Policing in the West Coast cities will improve—largely thanks to ICE.
A few formerly conservative influencers—looking at you Candace—will implode and MAGA will win the intra-GOP civil war. The midterms will go in the Democrats’ favor.
Gaza will not return the body of the Israeli hero Ran Gvili.
Maybe it’s a bit of wishful thinking on my part, but I really want to see a free Iran.
Prediction:
Hope: While this is admitted more wishcasting than prediction, my hope is that Republicans will campaign on the vast corruption that is/will be exposed in the coming months to maintain their narrow majority in the House.
My prediction for 2026 is that the economy will noticeably improve and that the Semiquincentennial celebrations will have a positive impact on young people’s views.
