In less than two days Pennsylvania’s most famous oversized rodent – Punxsutawney Phil, not Gov. Tom Wolf – emerges from his burrow to predict when winter will end.
Phil’s choice is binary, either six more weeks of winter, or spring is just around the corner.
Here are a few more difficult predictions to ponder while we wait for Phil’s pronouncement:
Spotify will get along quite nicely without the music of some relatively anonymous, past-their-prime rockers looking to become relevant again as social justice warriors.
Despite polls showing 76 percent of respondents thinking Joe Biden is ridiculous to limit his Supreme Court nominations to black women, Ridiculous Joe will do just that in his crusade of continuing to rule toward placating the 24 percent or so on the lunatic fringe left.
Blessed with much more sophisticated equipment and years of training, local weather forecasters will continue to come up short of Phil’s weather acumen.
Johnstown will keep finding big bucks to pay a rotating cast of city managers, but will not be able to ante up the funds to plow the streets and clear sidewalks.
The United States will continue to talk tough about Russia, and do nothing. Same with China which is, in the larger picture, the greater threat.
VaccinNazis will keep ignoring “the science” that shows vaccines are not close to being effective vs. COVID-19’s many strains.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will emerge from hiding once the exhaust fumes from protesting trucks no longer can be detected in Ottawa.
As suggested by one internet wit, a new disease will be cited to explain Trudeau’s runaway act – COWARD-22.
When he does return to the public, Trudeau will give a nod to his role model, Sleepy Joe Biden, whose campaign and time in office have been exercises of hiding in the bunker and hoping everyone doesn’t notice.
The effete snobs at CNN, the Most Busted Name In News, will continue to see as “less enlightened” the growing number of people who don’t agree with their propaganda. Most recently, some CNN guests on Mr. Potato Head’s show applied the term to listeners of Joe Rogan’s podcast, whose numbers dwarf CNN’s ratings, even with all the forced viewership at airports included.
Despite polls showing Bumbling Biden’s approval ratings at 10 percent, and general Democratic approval at 15 percent, Democrats will hold the House and Senate and gain governorships in November, all of which will be explained by videos of suitcases full of votes emerging from under tables and being scanned after poll observers have left for the night.
Just like the movie “Groundhog Day.”
