“Looking Back/Looking Ahead” is, without question, my most eagerly awaited program of the year returns! Last year, this program sold out at every venue – so reserve your seats early!

Perhaps it’s just our era, but this year seemed to be one of the most extraordinary of our lifetimes. We saw a significant war involving Israel; the former president of the United States of America was found responsible for sexual assault and fraud in separate courts while facing significant criminal charges in several venues, the House of Representatives in utter chaos, Chicago sports teams collapsing, a major crisis of migrants at the southern border and in Chicago, and a wild presidential election awaiting us.

In early December of each year, I present a look back at the year coming to a close. I will list:

√ Top Ten News Stories of 2024

√ Top Ten Quotes of 2024

√ Top Ten New Words of 2024

√ Important Deaths of 2024

PREDICTIONS!

And then comes the part that everybody enjoys! I will make specific predictions for 2025. What will happen when President Trump begins the mass round-up and deportation of illegal immigrants? Will he be successful in amending the constitution to end birthright citizenship? How will Americans respond to much higher consumer prices when he adds a 25% terrify imported goods? I’ll tell you my predictions for how the Chicago sports teams will do, who will win the Oscars and the Tonys, and so much more.

And just so you can keep me honest, I will show you precisely what I predicted for 2024. Did I get the election right? We will assess how correct – or not – I was in my predictions for this year!!

COST

I ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00, email me, and I will waive your fee. You only have to request the waiver once; it will automatically cover you for all future programs. I am struggling but supporting a family, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!
