Project 2025 Leader Unveils Plan for Life After Second American Revolution - Newsweek
Well, oops there it is. Got your attention now!
The Heritage Foundation President just threw this on the table. Sort of a,
'Nice country you got here. . .would be a shame if anything happened to it'!
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The leader of right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 recently unveiled a new plan for life in America following a "second American Revolution."
The remarks by Roberts come shortly after he appeared on Steve Bannon's WarRoom podcast this week and spoke about how a recent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on presidential immunity could prompt a second American Revolution.
He said the Supreme Court's judgment on Monday, that presidents are immune from prosecution for "official acts, will free them up to introduce policy without having to "triple guess, every decision they're making in their official capacity."
On Wednesday, Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, which organized the Project 2025 organization, shared a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, where he wrote, "Americans in 2024 are in the process of carrying out the Second American Revolution to take power back from the elites and despotic bureaucrats. These patriots are committed to peaceful revolution at the ballot box.
"Like the First American Revolution, the second began when a corrupt ruling class sought to overthrow the existing institutions of American life. But whereas the British passed laws and imposed colonial officials, our elites have been more subtle," Roberts wrote.
"The good news is, patriots across the country are coming together, organizing the groundwork of resistance, and fighting back. We will save the institutions that we can, start new ones wherever needed, and unapologetically destroy those that are hostile to human flourishing," Roberts added.
In a statement to Newsweek , Roberts echoed the remarks he made on X and said, "Unfortunately, it's the Left that has a long history of violence, so it's up to them to allow a peaceful transfer of power. As we saw in 2020, organized groups on the Left have the capacity to carry out violent riots, take over cities, and weaponize taxpayer-funded agencies to target their political opponents."
Roberts outlined how the ruling might help transform the federal government with conservative policy proposals, should Donald Trump win the White House in November and adopt Project 2025. The Project 2025 website states that it is a presidential transition project seeking to "build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook."
"In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back," Roberts said. "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be ."

The Heritage Foundation President just threw this on the table. Sort of a, 'Nice country you got here. . .would be a shame if anything happened to it'!
Now those who lie about Project 2025 not being 'in play' in Donald's administration can . . . STOP THE LIE!
It's Donald that is dividing the country with the help of MAGAs. Nobody else!
Donald Trump, MAGAs, and the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) are NO GOOD!
Wake up and Vote as though these liberties you enjoy today matter most! DON'T LET THEM STEAL THE COUNTRY AWAY IN NOVEMBER. CHEATERS KNOW HOW TO CHEAT!
Oops, there's your Supreme Court involvement in the scheme to take over the United States for Trumpism. If they take it, they don't plan to give it back (to you or Yours)!
Project 2025 is the blueprint for the reactionaries' War on America.
Every leader should think long and hard about all of their decisions. "Triple guessing" is a good thing.
after seeing numerous rwnj debates play out here, I doubt if any real clairvoyance is needed to deduce when christo-fascists will devolve into some form of attack, should their theocracy project ever be implemented. thumper scum are used to rejection by popular opinion, but it's possible they could soon have a friendly new idol armed with a new SCOTUS option.
That is not the type of 'triple-guessing' Roberts means. Not the positive, but now Donald and 'friends' if back in office will not have to triple-guess how to stay out of the reach of the law. Just do it. . . and watch con-SCOTUS' lower courts sit on their damn hands.
SCOTUS has set a course against its public for which it should serve. This is untenable. Ordinary people need to rise up NOW!
Con-SCOTUS is ideological, has lied to get on the court, betrayed, assaulted, and will continue to assault the public who help pay for their damn livelihood! We must demand to be treated better than this!
Happy Independence Day!
I know. I was using his own words against him, so to speak.
Got it!
Trump and his ilk are clearly fascists. Just remember folks, rule #1 of a fascist dictatorship is to disarm the public. All you people that love your guns? You won't have them for long if you elect trump.
Good luck with that.
B leave Mr. Frost is attempting to make the "right' people aware of parts of this 2025 plan, and yes, much more than luck will be needed to accomplish as much. And one would be amazed at the number of centrists, independents, and even on the far left, that all have firearms.
I only have 1 gun, ... that's registered... oops...
As if Biden and the left, through all it's forms is any better?
Not from what I have heard them say they agree with.
Thing is neither side has the numbers if there is no compliance or cooperation if they control the government, even IF you split gun owners into political camps that they vote , there is still more firearms and ammo and personnel than the government can muster. Granted different kinds of weapons.
Here is some claimed numbers I have seen.
Gun owners ....100,000,000 that's 100 million, I think there is actually more.
US MILITARY......all branches and all components.....it fluctuates at about 2.5 million.
Alphabet government agencies that have actual armed field personnel in law enforcement training and combat skill backgrounds they could likely field 20 -60 k from all of them combined nationally.
That's not including actual LEO on the state and local levels, those would likely fall in with the locales they serve in or would likely leave their jobs , they aren't stupid.
From here , just looking at numbers the discussion can go in many different directions, but I think you get my point.
The point is. . . the government in the hands of a true patriot who loves this country and all of its citizens which make it up and work. . .can always make MORE. And, call up patriots as needed to defend our democracy. Also, NATO can impose or aid our country in its (utterly stupid) 'darkest hour' if asked by a democratically appointed president and not a creepy wannabe tyrant and his/her henchmen and women.
NATO ? They would view such a thing happening as a civil war and not an attack from an outside country and likely will decline to intervene militarily
The UN , excuse me while I catch my breath....,ok, the UN HAS no military force , what forces they do have come from member nations, voluntarily, they have to volunteer to go into a war zone and they will have rules of engagement that will likely make them highly ineffective in an active war zone except to be excellent targets.
You speak of patriots, there is an old saying you should remember and realize how it can apply to you.
One man's patriot/ freedom fighter , is another man's terrorist.
In someone's eyes you are no better than a terrorist, be they isis or hamas.
NATO can potentially amend its charter in extraordinary circumstances. With a single vote. I wrote that and remove it by editing. Sorry. Also, NATO countries would one by one or collectively cancel trade agreements with the United States or its 'affected' states, and so forth and so on.
I made no mention of UN or its agreements with the United States.
Anybody supporting MAGAs' unwillingness to share this country equally and diversely with their fellow citizen groups, instead shares a posture and position such as that held by the head of the Heritage Foundation has just publicly announced, choosing to destroy this country's natural growth in order to stifle and regress its natural course—is unqualified to make such a statement.
Something I do know about NATO, to amend it's charter, the vote would have to be unanimous, not popular vote. It was set up that way on purpose.
But just as in Ukraine, individual countries can decide what they might do individually.
What has happened historically if two member nations get into a conflict , they file an objection and don't get involved on eithers side , see GREECE V TURKEY.
In cases of civil war which this would likely be what it's called it is an internal political struggle, they as a group won't get involved ,individual countries will decide for themselves what they will do.
Something I am sure you have heard: "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."
Opinions vary.
One would simply need to be as qualified as you when you make your statements.
People will always be qualified to make up their own minds on matters of interest to themselves.
You of course are free to speak your mind.you are not free to make anyone agree with or cooperate with you ,let alone comply.
Since we are trading euphemisms
Don't let your alligator mouth over load your humming bird ass is a favorite and good one.
And with that you can be content to have the last word on it!
Actually CB, with some of our past discussions and statements we have made to each other. There is something I AM curious about.
Please do feel free not to respond though.
We have bandied back and forth about worst case scenarios, for me worst case is of course the break down of the supply chains and the governments ability to make sure things go as they should.
This means that some areas are going to have to make up the difference to insure they can continue.
Think the situation is something like that 90s movie , the postman.
Scattered communities fending for themselves.
My thought is , those communities , to survive are likely going to have to have some skill ,talent or ability that contributes to the community from it's residents.
I have thought ok what would I be able to contribute to such a community at my current age,and current skills,talent and abilities.
Me, logistics ,, transport freight movement secondary would be food procument , ie hunting, I have what I need, and the processing of it as well, field to fork thing. As well as a few construction trades knowledge and experience. Let's not forget cooking .I haven't killed myself with my own cooking yet.
Here is what I'm curious about, what do others not just you,think they would bring to the table for the communities survival as for those things ? I ask that because I don't think I would fit in a community with my self professed skills and abilities with some one that has none and I would likely strike out alone or with like minded people. Which would be a natural right to do so.
Usually if I want the last word, I simply tell someone good luck with their plans , good luck.
Your comment assumes a great deal and is meant to insult. The issue here is cities are not the wilderness plains. Other supply chains will be created out of necessity. Another saying comes to mind: "Necessity (need) is the mother of invention."
Quiet as it is kept, city people don't eat because 'frontiersmen' feed us. . . we eat because we have skills that we can market to stay alive. So far that has not required us to "kill and eat." However, rest assure - when it comes to survival. . . everything and I mean everything can/will/shall/ought to be on the table. But for that to come about would require the breaking of our society. . . and big empty buildings. A pox on that and those who think it proper.
Our ranking in the world will plummet the instant we stop working as a united country; a diverse and talented country (the best the world has ever seen I am often told.) Bet that. Some other nation will replace us; some nation will do so with glee. We may not gain the top spot back, thereafter.
Now you can continue with sly insults and put downs. But, people have always survived the hardships of life because we have functional brains that tell us to survive or die.
Lastly, you don't know what other skills others have or can acquire in an 'instant.' What I am told is city folks do come in larger proportional numbers than some other groups.
Now, let's back off the 'doomsday' speak for a sec and let others have a 'say.'
BTW, I have grown edible plants, gutted, cleaned, my own meals before in my early life. I can use memory recall and I still have the mind to do more if push comes to shove. I am sure I am not alone when it comes to 'city folks.' Humorously, there is always Youtube as a 'back-up.'
Additionally, I don't know how the fields will work if the 'field hands' won't attend to them. . .properly. "Good luck."
CB I mentioned neither rural or urban , simply that the supply chain no longer exists as the government is also close to being if not non existent. And people would form communities I said nothing about where.
You make a good point , people can learn ,question then would be can they at advanced ages, and are they actually any good at what they are attempting to learn?
City folk do have numbers I'll give you that,but how much of their day to day living skills would be usable in the case I mentioned? If they had to leave the urban area they are accustom to with it's conveniences and abundances.i think they in this case would be in for a shock.
Unfortunately ,such things won't be coming for free ,payment will likely be based on barter or skills and abilities , and charity will likely be a rare thing depending on how large a community is .
Like I said , I was curious,nothing more nothing less.
Nope. We won't be in shock we're compensate, exist, and even strive. What's shocking is how and to what degree some 'Americans' hate and detest their fellow citizens, that they would want to render them suppressed, repressed, silent in the culture, and/or worse in the country we all grew up in and deeply love.
As for advanced age, it is what it is. Another saying goes: "Nobody promised any of us a rose garden." It is what it is.
Now let's run on and see what the 'end' is going to be for our great experiment in democracy! We're going all the way together as a country or Bust! Or may be we're not as big-hearted a nation or good enough nation as we once thought of ourselves. Time will tell.
Hmmm, internet, only would work if it's still up and running, same as most places ,as for some other stuff, well some places are better off than others in my view.
Depending how bad things are going to get.
My state is beef ,ag , and mining mostly coal oil and gas.
In the case I mentioned all that stuff will still be able to be aquired in much the same way it is now ,so no need for any more field hands. until the parts supply started to disappear,.but being an oil and gas state there are foundries that can make parts, just won't be manufacturer approved.
The state has a couple refineries to refine that oil , and absent the government , might be even cheaper .
Now this is speaking to a "better" breakdown happening than I started with, in this sort of case I do see the states doing far better than in the other case unless those states really mess up forcing a choice to stay or go somewhere doing better.
Hell we don't even have the situations mentioned and we see that happening now.
And everything I think would help me in the other situation , now simply become hobbies I enjoy doing for myself.
Thumbs up to no one promised any of us a rose garden when we got old , getting old isn't for the weak. Doesn't mean we can't complain about it.
My complaint, damn bunyons....
Mark, I have already stated necessity will take care of its own needs. People have survival instincts that kick in. Heck, we do it every day; people survive grave diseases, serious accidents, deadly animal attacks, explosions (see it around the world), and plus they band together creating new social bonds. They hunker down. The Youtube remark was partially tongue in cheek.
We will eat, sleep, urinate and defecate in holes as a nation when and where it is required. It's what people do.
What people will not do is lose their freedoms to others who simply don't want them to have them anymore. We will fight for our lives. . .our freedoms. . . our liberties using "all the above" that is within us. BTW, that is the "American rise and success story" we have been telling each other for centuries now. I remind you half the country did not build this country; we all did with our talents and skills and internal fortitude from frontier to plains to 'hoot and hollers,' to valleys, to towns and cities, to metropolises and then outward to other lands. We did it together. It never was just conservatives. Our story has always been about a 'blended society.' Always, even when some of us were kept hidden out of public view and our roles are just now being revealed to. . . our own nation and the world.
Easy. Nope. Nobody said it would be. Indeed, it will be hard to start all over again for many/most of us - especially the mature elderly who can already feel the times slipping by.
I can't hop fences like I used to back in the day. But, I can cut a mean hole in one or several. Damn, with a proper crowbar, I can do some 'thangs.'
I KNOW that feeling ,mind says I ustacould, body say my mind is retarded, and my brain says we old enough we know and learned an easier way.
sorry Mark this began as a comment to you and CB, but asz usual, i lost my wayand have to post it here momentarily to save for a future refference
yes, my body doesn't mind my mind much anymore, but my mind isn't made up, as it is still on the fence, CB is cutting through with his crow bar, that i'm probably flagged from, but I have knowledge that only years experiencing life can teach, and have been able to survive end thrive, rural or urban, as two different worlds where i believe some would struggle when left out of their primary, as would these younger generations raised by tv, video games, social diseased media, and an entitlement attitude lacking gratitude, for social interaction they most certainly did elude, and for thought, perhaps some food, but without a food for thought processor...the process will retard the expedited path that comes upon neither a fork, or a knife to cut through the overgrowth of ignorance, the undergrowth of intelligence, as education seems to have lost its weigh, and carry's not it's previous wait, fore those from within the community gate may find more difficult to adapt, as they trot to a poll vaulting gallop towards ineptitude, a fate too many will never preclude, for from porous cork odoriferous pungent vapors will evaporate, less they be gathered by taking that knife used to cut through the ignorance and marry it to the word salad, tossed overboard by an engine driven to propel the human spirit, that many can and many do not hear it, yet so few endear it, for watt it's worth in wool, is pulled over the eyes have it, yet can't sea the depths that these constantly consolidated condescending correspondences have done created, an instrument to stack itself upon a sell fit for a king to rule the yard where vegans meat slaps down the hand that feeds in metered measurements, quantities to offset the quality of life divided in a land where life, liberty, and freedom, NOT Levin, had all once been provided , and spooning the spork to bite the terror contained in the tera bytes into the apples core, where seeded is purely a will
and where there is a will....
there must be a past,
yet we forget, not inn allways, a future
Happy Fourth of July, Iggy!
When did Trump censor the public?
When did Trump attempt to put political opponents in prison?
Just like the Democrats have been trying to do?
And you base this on what?
My God, will this "fascist" bullshit ever end?
Which Administration is trying to control the press?
which candidate has threatened to prosecute media journalists?
A question in response to another question is foolishness.
First they have to learn the definition of "fascist" and understand it. Until then there's nothing that will stop it.
We are doomed to hear it for years to come then.
Sigh.
sadly.
Both.
(That's what politicians do!)
Sorry, but there is only the Biden Admin presently.
I'm more concerned about what might happen in America if Biden wins, cause, after all, who has the most guns and ammo? If Trump wins, at least I'm on the other side of the world safe from "The Downfall of the American Empire". If my son and my family were not living in Milwuakee I really would no longer care about what happens to America - there was a time I loved America, spent much of my time alll over America, been to and seen more of America than a lot of Americans, even owned and spent time at a golf condo in Florida, but all that was decades ago, and America is no longer what it was for me back then. I wish you good luck, my good friends on NT.
Yes Buzz, it is not just like it was back then, but i've caught your take on our current situations, and yes, in the inner cities be wary of where you go and know where to avoid, cause yes, there are plenty of places to avoid, but it is not as bad as you appear to view it, imho.
The majority of these United States are fine to see and visit. Where there is economical down trodden environments, like anywhere, one needs to be aware. I've worked in some rough neighborhoods in Philly, Camden, Trenton, and Wilmington, and somehow survived. The areas that one needs to be wary of, are so minascule when looking at the country as a whole, and yes, asz a holes are present, but not prevalent.
In all the places I have been in America, from the time for my first visit when my mother took me as a tiny infant in a basket to Baltimore (and, coincidentally, Baltimore was the last place in America I was in about 18 years ago to attend my son's wedding) I never had any concern for my safety no matter where I was in America for even a single second, and I was in every normal place for a tourist to be in imaginable. Oh, I was in Alcatraz, but as a tourist. LOL
sorta wondered off course, then spilled my beer, and tjat isn't good, as i can't get it anymore, what a travesty, and Buzz, i was only responding to some of your responses where you seemed very wary of the states, and it was usually associated with gun violence as i recall. So beyond that, which is of course a concern, our current Divided states of America, is a political train wreck in motion, no doubt, and thus Y i come here to vent, as opposed to a local watering hole, wherew i am shortly headed. Everyone have a Happy Forth and a swell weekend, could be my last Independence day as a free citizen, if ole Trump and the 2025 plan have their ways, and to that I say FCK YOU Trump and 2025, cause till i'm dead, i'll think and speak out my thoughts, cause my rights are currently still in effect, and I plan on defending those rights, till left, or wrong, or dead
Little baby Buzz
You think the gun violence is limited to depressed areas? Are parades depressed areas, was Las Vegas a depressed area, were the schools in depressed areas, was a Buffalo grocery store in a depressed area, was the guy who drove up the wrong driveway in a depressed area, were the synagogues in a depressed area, and the real kicker, was the man sitting in his living room reading who got shot by a stray bullet crashed through his window. Sorry, Ig, I don't buy the "depressed area" excuse.
i didn't know i was selling an "excuse" ?
The odds of getting shot in your examples are far greater than winning the lottery or being struck by lightning i would guess, but could be wrong.
My point was , yes, there are far too many mass shootings, just that one is highly unlikely to be involved in any, and the chances of being harmed in any way, shot or other, are miniscule unless in the downtrodden areas i described.
America's gun-lovers will agree with you, but the statistics do not. IMO the odds are still not what a "CIVILIZED" country should have to live through. I'm not a gambler, and I won't stand under a tree in a thunderstorm yet I once won $5000. in a lottery and another time won an all-paid 10-day trip to Rio de Janiero where my then-wife refused to go so I had to trade it with the travel agency for a week in Miami Beach, when it was so cold we had to wear sweaters to lie on the beach on the three days we could go outside. So what are the odds of shitty weather in Miami Beach? Get my point?
Why?
There's a new term for things like that-- an expression that's gaining popularity especially on "the Street" (Wall St.). They call very rare occurences when they happen a "Black Swan Event")
I think she was afraid of being there, different culture, different language, maybe there was more violence there. I really can't recall any specific reason.
Maybe it was just bad luck. I've been to Florida so many times and it is the only time I can remember when the weather was so bad for so many days.
This is 900 plus pages of the so-called 'FUTURE' of the United States.
Read it (any part of it) and weep.
The little i have read, is truly disturbing in my opine
Stand up for your rights. There can be no going back. There is nothing there. The Langoliers* have removed the past.
* Stephen King movie 1995.
it's the death warrant of christo-fascism.
For those of us who read through or portions of "Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership" (link at @7 above) sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank and former officials of the Trump Administration (supported by Donald himself). . .if you see yourself agreeing with it. . . then you know where you are on the spectrum. If you do not agree. . . it's clear you must do something this fall to save your place in this society (because now it is up to you and others like me).
So, . . .this "second American Revolution" has already begun. Interesting. As the title of "Project 2025" posits MAGAs controlling our government in 2025. BTW, MAGAs told a lie when they said that January 6, 2021 was not an insurrection. Clearly, it was according to the bigger plan for 2025.
Will we recognize our shared country this time NEXT year?
Trump is in favor of a loyalty (to him) test for every government employee.
It would 'sack' government and ruin proper careers. Liberals need to 'buy-in' and do so quick on their "Biden problem" or its counter-offering and move back into the stream of what's being said. . . and prepared!
What this discussion is highlighting is we have people in this country willing to destroy it as it is, before sharing it equally in diversification or inclusivity. This has always been their subtext. As it turns out, there is apparently too much freedom for some of us and others of us are jealous of our use of it!
Christian nationalist won't stop until the Bible is the most important book in every school classroom
That can not happen. It simply must not be allowed to happen in this day and age. The Church needs to look after its own 'books' of the Bible and be content with doing so!
It's fun to watch progressives try and scare people into believing "christian nationalists" are about to take over the country.
The problem is every single adult understands America is becoming more secular by the minute and has been for decades.
That is not a condemnation of Mr. Roberts statement coming from a conservative. Perhaps, start it that!
thats kind of the christian nationalists point and complaint
So you don't have a problem with the bible being taught in public schools and the posting of the 10 commandments in public schools then?
One day it's the Christian nationalists, one day it's MAGA, one day it's Trump, one day it's the GOP, one day it is conservatives, one day it's Nazis, one day it's fascists.
A whole week, constant rotation.
Boring.
And that is what the christian nationalists are up in arms about. And what project 2025 is designed to reverse.
They want their white supremacist christian nationalist nazi theocracy which is what project 2025 is
ind of the christian nationalists point and complaint
great! Then you understand they are losing popularity, power and influence by the day and becoming ever more unlikely to obtain power. So why the hysteria?
because Biden is in trouble and they are afraid he will lose to Trump.
Seriously, its a different boogyman every day of the week. They crave the feeling of being oppressed. Hence all the fake hate crimes.
Now they think they live in a theocracy unless men can play women sports or children are allowed to be mutilated.
they are far more concerned with some 'plan" they swear will be implemented if Trump wins.
Just the usual fear-mongering and the usual deflection from Biden's troubles.
It's the oddest thing for a Christian to believe, even I, "once upon a time" considered that secularists were out to persecute the Church only to discover that it is a grouping of the Church that has the audacity to persecute and offend secularists (more). Even to the point (of being so vile a grouping of Church folks) to threaten the lives of their fellow citizens with political and hints of literal bloodletting. Shame on Rightwing Evangelicals. Shame on you!
It is good we can see the scheme. Now we have to combine to see that it never comes to past. Project 2025 and a new Trump presidency must not be.
As a Christian, I want the Church (all of it) to stay in its 'lane' and its 'place' in society. And, that location is not running the government of a free nation. And as a body that is designed to be at peace with its 'neighors'. . .the hateful rhetoric and possessing of guns for OFFENSIVE purposes, and the 'mountain' of lies coming out of Evangelicals is cause to ABANDON the church and not abide the Faith itself—it has been in the past and looks to be made a mockery of once again!
That comment is in defense of people who lie to the public on a daily basis. It is not hysteria to call out the lying, the division-makers, and those who are freedom-'killers' of their fellow inhabitants of this great nation of people.
Strawman. Read the damndable quote:
and apply those abilities to comprehend that each of us have just as much as you. This 'boogeyman' is already taken to 'crawling, walking, and now talking. . . .' We don't have to sit around and wait for what comes NEXT!
Worse, Sean your sidestepping of the fact of the statement is on record here. However, we see not mention on the record of a CONDEMNATION of the 'bearer' of the statement and his Heritage Foundation!
It must be a sad life to have that much baseless nonsense to freak out over.
Instead of worrying over something that most likely will never come to pass, how about them concentrating on what their hero Joe IS doing?
The "violent" Left won the Revolutionary War and kicked Britain back across the pond
Look at them freaking out over the Sleepy Joe's performance during the debate. So many pathetic excuses and deflections it makes ones head spin.
And Biden is staying in, he will not be replaced on the ballot.
As if we didn't already know Democrats were sticking with him.
I wonder what the odds are that Biden will do any more debates.
I'm betting he refuses.
He kind of has to. What are the democrats going to do with all those ballots with Sleepy Joe already selected?
I think it will be slim to none. I'd love to hear the pathetic excuses would be. Being sick and "jet lag" used after the last one were pretty pathetic.
I think Biden will have a big problem.
Failure to debate again makes him look like he is running scared. Also makes those backing him look foolish.
Actually debating again opens him up to another disastrous performance. I have faith another such performance will be seen by enough to swing the election. America loves to watch a train wreck!
This exchange is OFF-TOPIC any more of it will be removed.
Another debate will confirm what everybody else has been saying for years - He's a failure that should have never been put in that position. Those baking him already look foolish, right now they are in panic mode trying to figure out how they can keep this geriatric clown and not smell like a septic tank. Either way, they're screwed.

And what I want is the church to get out of the way and allow society to progress without the church constantly hanging on to its coattails trying to drag it backwards.

Maybe it the news sources you read?
(What I see is that every day there are all those things. And also their opposites).
There's an old saying:
Energy flows where attention goes.
My comment is based solely on the comments here daily.
Happy Fourth of July, stateside!
What are your hopes and plans for the next one, 2025?
Oh, the projection and the irony of Donald running off at the mouth about, 'independence' and not dividing up the country through Trumpism's 'unity.' MAGAs are now freely talking about a blood takeover of our government (PROJECT 2025). . . and still some are snoozing on it. Unbelievable!
Well, I trust we are all back safe and sound.
Let's discuss what we expect to see NEXT July 4tth!
Project 2025 is the playbook of conservatives for the NEXT [Trump] administration should it come to be. Anything else different you are told about it being 'harmless' is an attempt at mind manipulation and an outright lie.
Trump didn't read that whole thing, it is the size of a small telephone book.
But he will listen to them and do what he can once they make a contribution to his legal defense fund
The Heritage president and producers of Project 2025 let it 'drop': They will NOT accept the results of the 2024 Presidential Election if Donald loses!
Kevin Roberts , a Christian nationalist, is rumored to be on the shortlist to be Trumps chief of staff if he gets back in office.
Oh really, A Christian Nationalist? That is quite interesting and speaks volumes.
Where are the conservatives (virtually and real-world) condemning this call to literal arms; and, where are the conservatives calling for the resignation of the Heritage Foundation president?
they like it so why would they condemn it
Good question!
It was/is the Heritage Foundation that was behind the science denying anthropogenic global climate change deniers. They are the reason that I started on-line in the first place. Anything they are for, I'm against.
These people want to run the country for the first 160 days of a Donald presidency. . . and beyond. It's very dangerous rhetoric being voiced by Heritage's President!
PROJECT 2025: "From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth. And our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities."
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Roger Severino
Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect conscience rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care.
A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among governments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that
HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.

There is your "national abortion ban" taking shape in the Heritage Foundation intent to act in 2025. A Trump secretary of health will 'cut out' what s/he perceives to be any effort by a woman or man to intercept the life of an embroyo: "our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities."
Girls, women, according to MAGAs you WILL/you MUST have the child 'placed,' 'raped,' or 'gifted,' into your wombs.
Read it and weep. Then, get up and go vote for RESTORATION of your privacy right to your womb at the federal level!
They are so full of it. Seriously.
These people's discontent with others in this country is so deep that (sigh) they only see "others" here as profit-making/career making machines for their 'cultural wars.' They never let up. They are going after medicare and medicaid too. (It's in the 'Project.')
Now that they have a conservative SCOTUS, they see the sky as their limit to reversing all the progress (ever) made in this country by liberals and progressives. It's so sad. Just so pathetically sickening that a pathology of a group can sicken "the whole load" (if you know what I mean).
I know exactly what you mean.
"the whole loaf." Damn all the keys on the keyboard!
And, still no condemnation from farRight politicians, farRight scholars, farRight religious leaders, or farRight 'anybody.' over Roberts telling "the Left" in other words to 'throw' this presidential election or 'pay' in blood.' (In other words to that effect.)
Still no condemnation of a Right-wing organization...from farRight scholars?
I am shocked-- shocked I tell you!
(Usually I'd post the relevant scene from Casablanca, but at this point I imagine most people are pretty familiar with it-- so there's no point)
Trumpists clearly like their mandate, and they like their liberals 'unarmed.'
PROJECT 2025: "Unfortunately, many of the faith based adoption agencies that serve these children are under threat from lawsuits, or else their licenses and contracts have been halted because they cannot in good conscience place children in every household due to their religious belief that a child should have a married mother and father."
"Congress should pass the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act62 to ensure that providers and organizations cannot be subjected to discrimination for providing adoption and foster care services based on their beliefs about marriage."
Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Roger Severino
Adoption Reform. There are roughly 400,000 children across the nation on the waiting list for foster care and 100,000 awaiting adoptive families, and the opioid/fentanyl crisis is putting more at risk every day.
Unfortunately, many of the faith-based adoption agencies that serve these children are under threat from lawsuits, or else their licenses and contracts have been halted because they cannot in good conscience place children in every household due to their religious belief that a child should have a married mother and father.
HHS, through ACF and the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR), should repeal the unnecessary 2016 regulation 61 that imposes non-statutory sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination conditions on agency grants and return to the policy of maximizing the options for placing vulnerable children in their forever homes. ACF and OCR should also survey their programs to consider whether additional waivers of HHS grant conditions—waivers the Biden Administration revoked in 2021—are needed for faith-based agencies.
Additionally, Congress should pass the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act 62 to ensure that providers and organizations cannot be subjected to discrimination for
providing adoption and foster care services based on their beliefs about marriage.
That is, allow bigots and haters of others to not change but have the 'golden' financial opportunity to teach a new generation/generations of adopted kids a form of hate. Thus, not ending the cycle of hate in the future but ENSURING its proliferation 'forever.'
Another Trump presidency and the imposition of Project 2025 will sound the death knell of American democracy.
Remember how not too long ago the reactionaries' propaganda was centered on fear mongering about the totally innocuous 1619 Project before they moved on to other targets of their fake outrage. Meanwhile, they were probably already planning out their malignant Project 2025.
It is malignancy, isn't it? I mean really, Gsquared. People move on. People begin to 'try' to work together. Kids in public schools largely and 99.99 percent get along across racial, ethnic, and cultural difference as they are 'drawn together' and even bond to be life-long friends. But, then we discover a 'boatload" of vipers and many-eyed malignancies that has been secretly posing in the shadows. . . hating our freedoms, detesting our joys, and scheming our downfall. What a betrayal. What a stench. What a hollowing out of trust in (some) of our fellow 'men.'
Sadly, there can be no harmony with some people. Only dis-harmony.
Once they try it there may be enough opposition to finally ouster the far right wing populists from power for the next generation. Seems we have to go through the same cycle time and time again for people to recognize authoritarianism for themselves before they too put it down. It will be bloodless if the populists let it be.
good luck with that...
Nothing quite like raw speculation and spectacular fear mongering!!
Nothing quite like the total ignorance and sheer stupidity of Comment 18.1.4.
They must believe that old saying, "When you're walking on thin ice, you might as well dance"! I consider what they say as a personal threat and will react accordingly !
18.1 is the chart topper for over the top ignorance and bloviating.
Comment 18.1.7 is stupidity on steroids. It's so far down the shitter it makes ordinary trolling look good.
And now comment 18.1 has real competition.
Comment 18.1.9 is idiotic, but Comment 18.1.7 still wins for stupidest trolling comment of this thread.
No thoughtful commentary or rational rebuttal are contained in your post.
"Uh-huh" is a poor substitute for either.
Nothing but trolling is contained in any of your posts on this thread.
If you apply the same standards to your own posts............................................then you will arrive at the truth at long last!
Can you feel it? Donald thinking he is just mere months from being "First 'King' of the United States of America."
We're not ready, Donald. Nuh-uh. We're not calling you, "Sire."
What we are telling His Majesty loud and clear is: Bite me!
I've always thought it is an odd, paradoxical expression.
Personally, I'm a big fan of paradoxical expressions-- the odder the better!
But I haven't heard that one in quite a while-- perhaps its dying out?
And if anyone here disagrees, I'd just like to say:
BITE ME!!!
I still enjoy it when someone tells me to kiss their ass, it means it's either leading to a really good time or one hell of a fight.
Example of leading to a fight:
Them: kiss my ass
Me: mark the spot because your all ass, and don't say the brown part cuz it's all brown because of your hygiene.
Well, this article seems to have done its due. I will lock it. Thank you all for sharing. More Heritage Foundation "in the news" coming soon!
Project 2025: Staffing the Next Conservative Administration | #Heritage50
ATTENTION: 2025 is going to be a true political warfare year if Trumpism wins this November's election!

Also, at 7:35 minutes pay close scrutiny to what "the Kuch' says about "their" (2025) president (Donald Trump) leaving EOs to make legislative changes in the law that are permanent . Implying Trumpism/trumpists control over house and senate.
Be informed.

How much damage to our national records can occur in a Project 2025-ran 'world'?
