Verdict Open

The US has been at war with Iran since 28 Feb 2026, but only by air and sea, with no invasion so far. Plans for ground operations (such as seizing Kharg Island) and a buildup of about 17,000 troops were reported in March 2026. The window runs to 2030.

Religion

Christian Zionist / dispensationalist worldviews will become more popular in America over time, driven by inequality and instability.

Open-ended. Early signs are mixed to against: polling since 2024 (e.g., Pew 2025) shows younger Republicans and evangelicals growing less favorable to Israel, though Christian Zionism remains influential in the Trump administration. This was not re-verified with fresh 2026 data due to search limits.

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
