Project 2025: A Road Map to Oblivion
That playbook is Project 2025, a 900-page report developed by the Heritage Foundation and a large coalition of conservative groups to help a second Trump presidency hit the ground running. “If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left,” its authors opine, “we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”
Unfortunately, this Project 2025 agenda is brimming with extremely outside-the-mainstream ideas that threaten to roll back many Americans’ fundamental rights and cause grave and perhaps permanent damage to our democratic system of government. Even if you agree with the far-right ideology this report espouses, the policies it advocates will very likely plunge the American economy into a death spiral.
A Litany of Terrible Ideas
Education: America’s continued prosperity and competitiveness worldwide rests on its educated workforce, but Project 2025 would defund and dismantle public education purely for ideological reasons. The Project 2025 agenda calls for eliminating a huge number of federal bureaus and departments that offend the far-right worldview. Among them is the Department of Education, which they deem a “convenient one-stop shop for the woke education cartel,” Title 1, which provides $18 billion in funding to support low-income students across America,” and Head Start, which helps over one million kids gain access to early education. Anything involving diversity, equity, and inclusion is also out, even though studies show that companies with diverse leadership and workforces tend to be more profitable than those without.
Along with scaling back civil rights enforcement, Project 2025 calls for effectively eliminating federal oversight over education and converting federal funds into block grants and vouchers that families can use at private schools—an idea that has become a fraud-ridden boondoggle wherever it’s been tried.
Climate: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal department that tracks hurricanes, is also marked for deletion by Project 2025 because it’s “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.” (One would think the hurricanes are the driver, but nevertheless.) The report also argues that the Environmental Protection Agency should be gutted for similar reasons.
Climate change is already costing the US $150 billion a year, and those costs are expected to grow substantially in the years to come if left unchecked – which is what this report argues for. That’s why the Sierra Club calls Project 2025 “a death sentence for federal climate and environmental protections” and “game over for climate progress.” At this late date, a head-in-the-sand approach is not a serious response.
Immigration: Project 2025, as the Niskanen Center put it, “aims to demolish the American immigration system,” even though immigration has always been one of the American economy’s great sources of strength. (In fact, US GDP is estimated to gain $7 trillion over the next ten years because of immigrants.) Among the many harsh policies proposed are drastically reducing visas, suspending country lists for H-2A and H-2B temporary worker visas, blocking federal financial aid to states that allow immigrants access to in-state tuition, and ending the protections of the Dream Act.
Trump himself has gone even further, saying he would quickly deport 15-20 million undocumented immigrants, even though Pew only counts 10.5 million in the US. The moral dimensions of this purge aside, many economists have noted that these draconian policies will cause a rapid rise in unemployment and inflation, especially in industries like food service, construction, and agriculture.
Cronyism: One of Project 2025’s most pernicious elements is its call to return America to a nineteenth-century “spoils system” of government. Under the so-called “Schedule F” plan, about 50,000 federal workers would lose their civil service protections and become at-will employees, meaning they can be fired if they are not sufficiently loyal to the President.
In practice, this would create what conservative Robert Shea has called “an army of suck-ups…if you told your boss that what he or she was proposing was illegal, impractical, [or] unwise they could brand you disloyal and terminate you.” It would also mean “a massive exodus of competence” from Washington, as well-trained, knowledgeable civil servants who gather and report data on all kinds of issues leave and are replaced with conservatives chosen only for loyalty.
Fiscal Policy: Along with the usual slate of tax cuts for the wealthy, Project 2025 also calls for abolishing the Federal Reserve, ending its role as the lender of last resort, and letting the President weigh in on interest rate hikes. Trump has also called for a 10% across-the-board tariff on imported goods, which could kick off a global trade war, rapidly accelerate inflation, and cost the average family $1500 a year. It doesn’t sound great for business.
On top of everything else, Project 2025 also aims to roll back protections for LGBTQ Americans, further reduce women’s access to abortion, cut overtime protections for 4.3 million workers, slash food assistance for 21.6 million households, weaken Social Security and Medicaid, stop efforts to lower prescription drug costs, and much else. This is a remarkably ideological document and one that’s far more concerned with putting far-right ideas at the center of government than doing right by families.

Comment: I’m sure this doesn’t do justice to a 900 page document… 900 pages that I’m certainly not going to read. Even Trump has said “Some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal” in his effort to distance himself from Project 2025. At his last rally he exclaimed, “I don’t know what the hell it is, this Project 25. I don’t know anything about it. I don’t want to know anything about it.” However, Trump’s own Agenda 47 consisting of 46 videos of Trump himself explaining his agenda bears an uncanny resemblance to the way too long Project 2025. And it sits on Trump’s website. He can’t just dismiss that guy in the videos as another coffee boy… or will he.
Like all campaign promises, those behind Project 2025 will never be able to accomplish everything that’s laid out in those 900 pages. But after implementing Schedule F, which seems to be on the top of Trump’s list, a lot of the Project 2025 crowd will find their way into the government. It will be a bigger and more uniformly fanatical deep state intent on carrying out the Project 2025 agenda.
BTW, Jeff Raikes, who wrote the above review of some elements of Project 2025, was the former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation after a 27 year career in Microsoft.
TTG
If Harris chooses either Shapiro or Pritzker she loses my vote. Kelly is a decent choice.
I agree on Kelly, but the one she may need is Shapiro. He has been rather impressive in governing. The I-95 debacle showed that he has what it takes. I am sure she has learned plenty from Joe, but having a Governor as VP is probably rather smart. None of them are saints, so it is a matter of competence.
In the first poll since Biden withdrew Harris defeated Trump by 2 points .. 44% to 42% … source: Reuters.
Your other comments are excellent – – I should add that my disapproval of Shapiro and Pritzker is due to their support for the Israeli massacres in Gaza (they are Jewish as is Harris’s husband). Letting Nyet n Yahoo speak here before congress is a very bad look .. let Trump and speaker Johnson take the credit for that. I’ve read that she won’t appear sitting behind him in the VP’s usual place. Smart.
F&L,
“I’ve read that she won’t appear sitting behind him in the VP’s usual place”
Indeed, a smart move if she can find an excuse.
By the way, the Genocider of Gaza was invited by the Republicans in Congress.
The genociders in Gaza’s tunnels (wonder who funded those and why the UN said nothing for years) and Qatar’s villas are supported in MI. But who cares about dead jews or kidnapped Americans. Not the “highly educated ” people protesting for the October 7th perpetrators.
Admiral McRaven would be a better choice. Plus it would have the benefit of driving Trump and his fanboys batshit.
Leith,
That would be funny. Even more terrifying to Trump would be General Mattis. He no doubt has a lot of funny stories to tell about Trump’s cabinet meetings. He gave a few talks locally, at Whitman and in Pasco, recently.
https://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article289378576.html
Unlikely he would ever run for office though. Too much unbefitting conduct required.
Agreed Mark. And sadly i just read that McRaven said he would not consider the job. Probably for the same reason you mention.
Trump can try to disavow Project 2025, but it will not work. Too many of his allies are involved in creating it and a lot of it comes from his past. If he is questioned about the details, he can try to answer. But we already know that he is largely ignorant about public policy. You know the Democrats will not let him get too far away from it. The head of Heritage has said that the US needs a “revolution”. They are seldom bloodless or orderly, which he does not seem to know.
The next few months will be hard on both campaigns and I am not sure Trump, or Vance, are quite up to it. It has been said that if you are the issue in the campaign, you will lose. Hillary was and she did. Trump was and lost and now he is the issue again.
Trump will be a big issue and so will abortion and both will be hard for the GOP to deal with and will energize the opposition. I am not so sure either Republican candidate will make it through the process. One is a rookie and the other a has been.
Lars,
Thank Bidenomics the economy is Great!!!! Why under Trump my truck only held $45 of gas, now it holds $100. That’s Kamalatastic; And we love $4 a dozen eggs too. And open borders, and Zelensky, and promoting the rainbow people in every school.
There was a short but deep recession due to less than stellar response to the epidemic. Most of that got fixed by Joe and his ability to get Congress to work as intended. But now some intend to bring back that incompetence that Trump displayed and has not shown any inclination to have improved.
FYI…the “rainbow people” are American citizens who work every day and pay taxes. So sorry you can’t let them live in peace the way they choose to live. Catchy ad hominems are such fun, tho!
Try addressing actual issues that a President has some control over. Zelenskyy is fair game but would you really prefer to see Russia take over an independent country?
The “”rainbow people” often are amoungst the most highly educated and best paid Americans there are. Like Muslims in the US, gays tend to be better educated than most Americans and make much more money than the average American.
These long range plans never work out. It’s like a military battle plan. Once the bullets start going down range if you can achieve 70% success that’s like a 4.0 GPA. You’ve won!
Just look at Klaus. None of his nonsense worked. Germany is back on the coal and making more plants to process it. So much for eliminating fossil fuels. Also the tree planting program. It was determined that there is not enough land to plant that many trees so all the pledges were thrown in the garbage.
Same goes for whatever is in this 900 page document. If Trump wins he will be impeached within a few months for some collusion with something something or another and the under belly of the Federal Government will go on full frontal assault.
Trump seems aware that some of that stuff would make him unpopular with his own base, largely poor whites. Trying to take their Medicare and SS?? Brain dead.
I suspect what is at work is something along the lines of what McConnell said in 2020, “This guy will sign anything we put in front of him” being imagined by the Heritage guys, and they published it without even checking with him first. I saw one of their guys proclaiming they were conducting a revolution the other day. They seem prone to assuming a bit too much.
Mark Logan,
“Trump seems aware that some of that stuff would make him unpopular with his own base, largely poor whites. Trying to take their Medicare and SS?? Brain dead.”
Indeed. Medicare and Social Security benefits are applicable to all Americans at retirement age.
Also, a majority of people who are receiving welfare are poor white folks.

“Like all campaign promises”
The Heritage Foundation isn’t running for president.
If a man Bill Gates trusted with billions in his “non profit” is against any of these ideas then some of them are probably good.
Schedule F:
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-creating-schedule-f-excepted-service/
Lots of civil service (“deep state”) folks who are already retirement eligible should do just that.
“Comment: I’m sure this doesn’t do justice to a 900 page document… 900 pages that I’m certainly not going to read.”
As Nancy Pelosi famously said … well let us judge for ourselves

I think somebody made a movie reaching much the same conclusion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om5-An4idPQ
This site does inspire confidence. Or at least, exudes it.
A lot of what Project 2025 is going after isn’t working and needs to be destroyed; kind of like the USSS. Who can truthfully argue that the immigration system is working? Who can look you in the eyes and tell you that the education is turning out young people prepared to work at a high level in a modern economy? Sure there are programs that throw lots and lots of money at needs, both real and imagined, but throwing money at a problem doesn’t solve it. That is what big government doesn’t seem to care to admit. The economy would sore without all of these non-productive govt programs sucking the life out of it.
Medicare and Social Security should not be touched and I’m sure that is the part with which Trump isn’t in agreement. Otherwise, it’s all lefties getting their panties in bunch over nothing other than losing handouts that keep them stupid and dependent on government – and, of course, to say generally scary things about Trump – who, btw, is back to being the biggest threat to democracy EVER! Someone needs to take him out!

Jim,
The vast majority of illegal drugs coming across the border are being brought in by US citizens returning from Mexico through legal crossing points.
How on earth did you reach that conclusion?
Fred,
Here are the facts:
– Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens.
– In 2022, U.S. citizens were 89 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—12 times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.
– In 2023, 93 percent of fentanyl seizures occurred at legal crossing points or interior vehicle checkpoints, not on illegal migration routes, so U.S. citizens (who are subject to less scrutiny) when crossing legally are the best smugglers.
– The location of smuggling makes sense because hard drugs at ports of entry are at least 96 percent less likely to be stopped than people crossing illegally between them.
– At most, just 0.009 percent of the people arrested by Border Patrol for crossing illegally possessed any fentanyl whatsoever.
– Each individual busted for fentanyl by Border Patrol possessed, on average, half as much fentanyl as each person busted at ports of entry in 2023 (10 versus 20 pounds).
This is from a 2023 Cato institute report.
https://www.cato.org/blog/fentanyl-smuggled-us-citizens-us-citizens-not-asylum-seekers
TTG,
I live near the border and our local news carries stories that you don’t see, like when cross-border tunnel complexes are discovered in Nogales. This a near regular occurrence. These are large sophisticated tunnels, some even have small gauge rail systems so that large amounts of drugs can be moved through them. Semi trucks full of drugs are caught fairly frequently.
These US citizens you refer to are a real thing too. They are first generation Mexican immigrants with strong family ties to Mexico. Thus bringing into question the whole concept of allowing third world, low education/low skill people immigrate here. Some of them have dual citizenship.
An aside – Last week a story broke about a local government funded shelter for unaccompanied illegal minors wherein the minors have been sexually abused and used in child porn.
Cato Institute, lol. More activists with an agenda who assess issues from a million miles away.
TTG,
It must really irk you that “brought in” is not “consumed by”.
Fred,
You must have had a hard time grasping the figures in my response. US citizens brought it in. US citizens consumed it.
– Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens.
– In 2022, U.S. citizens were 89 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—12 times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.
TTG,
Should have added that drones are increasingly used in narcotics smuggling. Fentanyl doesn’t weigh much. Drones with GPS are flying it across the border to safe houses.
TTG,
“…convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.”
Should I bother asking how many were deported rather than being sent to trial for this or any other felony?
Fred,
I would think they’d be tried and convicted before deportation. ICE deported 216 illegals after conviction on drug and drug related charges between 11 and 26 March 2024. Don’t know if that’s typical.
People are tried and convicted and then do their time. Once their time is up they are deported. It helps to know exactly what happens before people pontificate on it.
TTG,
“In 2022, U.S. citizens were 89 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—12 times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.” etc.
This is very bad logic. You are conflating convictions with smuggling. Of course more US citizens are convicted. We still have something vaguely resembling law & order and a justice system, whereas Mexico does not. If a Mexican cartel has people flying the drugs over on drones or carried through tunnels, they are less likely to be caught.
You are, of course, also ignoring the growing presence of MS-13 in the US; including in places as remote as Indian reservations. MS-13 is one of several groups that establishes the distribution networks. They bring much violence with them in addition to the drugs. Most of MS-13 are illegals.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about – or perhaps you do and are simply playing the role of good party loyalist.
Worse, as far as I’m concerned, is how you dismiss all of the deaths and ruined lives by commenting that it is Americans fault because they consume the dope. They had it coming.
But hey, if you’re going to be a hardcore libertarian on that issue, then how about applying the same philosophy to other issues wherein the government imposes itself in our lives and bank accounts for our own good? In fact, with that attitude, you should be quite happy with Project 2025. We don’t need government. It’s all about personal responsibility, right?
Eric Newhill,
Those US citizens engaged in fentanyl trafficking are certainly doing so for the cartels and they’re doing legal ports of entry. So yes, the Mexican cartels are at the root of the problem. Only a hell of a lot more border officers will cut that flow.
The drugs are a minor issue compared to human bondage. There are people coming across that are technically slaves. They pay a fee not realizing they just paid to be a slave owned by a cartel. If they refuse to honor it their family back home will be executed. If that doesn’t work then guess who’s next.
It’s rarely talked about but I will tell you just how big of a problem it is. It’s so big it’s addressed in all Federal contracts and a required online course for Federal contracting reps to be “on the look out” for human bondage workers.
babelthuap,
You make a good point here. I’d be for a covert and clandestine war against the Mexican cartels as Colonel Lang once suggested.
babelthuap
You’re a slave either way. Internet is full of stories of young, college educated people, working white collar jobs, not being able to earn enough to pay basic living necessities. Not earning enough to even qualify for rent in run down neighbourhoods.

So, what I am reading here is that Trump is being pilloried for a policy document that he has not only NOT endorsed but has actually pilloried as straight-out Bonkers.
That’s a neat trick , now question about it.
But I wonder, does it work both ways? Can Trump now accuse Kamala of adopting policies that she has actually dismissed?
And if not, then why not?
YR,
Exactly. Some hardcore faction creates a proposal, Trump dismisses it as too far out and the left still attaches him to it.
It’s just like the stupid hoaxes around “fine people” and injecting bleach, both of which are lies, but were even repeated recently by Biden during the debates.
I can only imagine that the Left has to use lies and paranoid mind-reading of the their opponents because they really don’t have any policies that appeal to normal working Americans. All the Left has is hyperbole around Trump being Hitler.
Every day working Americans don’t want the country flooded with illegals, don’t want drag queens playing with their children in grade school, don’t want their jobs sent overseas, don’t want dangerous drugs in their communities, don’t want to fund reparations, don’t want to fund endless wars in far away places, don’t want DEI (because they are directly impacted in their daily lives), don’t want run-away inflation created by a reckless government printing money for all of their programs and wars, don’t want to be lectured by smartasses in Washington and the Ivy League, don’t want BLM riots, don’t want to be taxed into paralysis, don’t want to be regulated out of business – or just about anything else the modern democrat party stands for and seeks to foist upon all of us. This is why NY and CA are experiencing a net out-migration and places like Florida are experiencing mass net in-migration.
Regular Americans don’t get all excited about the weird activist crap that gets party wonks all hot and bothered, like “first women President!”. They just want someone who will not do all of the things listed above.
The “injecting bleach” is not a hoax. I watched it happen in real time.
Lars,
So did I. I watched the “injecting bleach” episode in real time.
Recap.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/23/trump-bleach-one-year-484399
“Dr. Deborah Birx, Trump’s former coronavirus response coordinator, sat silently off to the side as the president made these suggestions to her. Later, she would tell ABC, “I didn’t know how to handle that episode,” adding, “I still think about it every day.””
I remebered laughing my ass off 🙂
Nope. You guys are either suffering from auditory hallucinations or lying. Given you two, I can’t decide which. Trump never said to inject bleach. Period.
TonyL,
Thank you for a link with a quote:
“supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute”
Light as a disinfectant?
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Foolish man quoting the person who had just spoken – but conveniently not linked to by the Political Operative website.
Fred,
Normally, I don’t care to argue when someone intentionally excludes some part of the whole quote. But for you, I’d make an exception.
Trump also said:
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that”
TonyL,
For the record, we can all see that you are unable to include a quote that includes the word “bleach” despite stating that you heard Trump say that word.
TonyL,
Yes how terrible. Light as a disinfectant. Bleach is also a disinfectant. Analogies are often bad for the same reason you are suffering from this one years later.
Fred,
Injection means “forcing a fluid into a body”. There is no other meaning.
Yes Lars, like this light therapy for upper respiratory infection.

We should really get our research money back.
We should also send our hallucinating immigrants back. It is not good to accept some other countries’ psychotics into our own.
Trump in 2022 endorsed the group that started to put the Project 2025 together. Said he would use it when re-elected. Now he’s getting jittery when the details come out during his campaign. He’s blaming them for publishing it too early.
Plus it was Project 2025 people that forced J D Vance on him for VP. Vance is a believer in 2025. And they know Trump is a walking heart attack, so Vance would soon be in the oval office if Trump wins in November.
Leith,
Vance would be great in office. So win/win if the next democrat/deep state assassination attempt on Trump is successful.
Btw – I see that Black Lives Matter is denouncing Harris and the lack of democratic process that made her the nominee. They say that the DNC is a threat to democracy. I love it. Your party is going to die by its own rhetoric.
Pissed off blacks with all the illegals, pissed them off by subverting the nomination process. Without them, you can’t win (in a fair election – big assumption).
Now your crazy college voters are pissed off about the Israel/Hamas conflict and are outside the Capitol burning American flags and performing a weird attention to the Hamas colors, complete with violent anti-Israel/anti-Jew chants.
I guess you’ve lost those mush brained college kids’ votes as well.
Real Clear Politics has Trump prevailing, and we know from past experience that the polls are always skewed in favor of democrats.
But yeah, subverting the primary process was neither smart nor respectful of the American people. No one knew that Biden had lost it prior to the primaries? Come on man. BLM has got it right this time.
leith: “Said he would use it when re-elected.”
There is a world of difference between the word “would” and the word “could”.
Care to dig out the quote, leith?
Quote I saw was that he said the good people drafting it ”would lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do.”
leith,
At least he didn’t call them “fine people”.

Good. We have Project 2025 and you have dumb crap like the Green New Deal.
Which is more destructive to the economy?
the Green New Deal is an evolving legislative program (numerous legislative pkgs) that has floated around Congress for 20 yrs. fine concept… hard to pull off ’cause … congress… playing by the rules is fraught w/ … compromise (shudder).
2025 is an explicit 995 pg document about 2 yrs old. a plan intended to centralize power in the executive branch (even more than it already is), bypassing congress (how’s that for deep stateness?), so all the crazies (racists & theocrats & end-timers), angry extremists (fascistic isolationists) & bro-billionaires (paymasters who’ve amassed wealth ’cause they just don’t have enough to feel they’ve won the game) can rapidly remake America into their own vision(s) of superiority of the totalitarian / autocratic stripe, w/ any interference from the majority of our population suppressed by force. have a nice day kids.
They didn’t stay on the reservation? Like LTC Vindman, “anonymous”, Fauci, Birx, Comey, ……
Kamala will be great though….
Yeah Right,
If you still believe the “fine people” hoax you will believe the media narrative on this too.
Y R, by using a double negative, “… he has not only NOT endorsed…”, you have implied Trump did endorse.
al,
Next thing you know he’ll be using a tautology.
Related topic – Wray is saying that the terrorist threat is very high and that much of the threat is due to the border. He says the FBI has detained a number of individuals with terrorist ties that crossed the Southern border. Project 2025 seeks to revamp the whole approach to border security and it sure seems like a good idea at this point for a number of reasons, national security being one of them. Wray also spoke to the increase in gang violence coming over illegally.
Eric Newhill,
Securing the border is the least controversial element of Project 2025 or Trump’s own Agenda 47. The idea of an absolutely wide open border as a Biden policy is a right wing hoax.
TTG,
No it isn’t a hoax. Biden bragged years ago about how whites would be replaced and it’s a good thing. He just didn’t get that Blacks and legal Hispanics didn’t want to replaced as well. Stupid racist assumed that people of color would be overjoyed with more of “their kind” in the country.
NBC – hardly a conservative source – put it very well, “The president campaigned on easing immigration controls, including a moratorium on deportations, an end to former President Donald Trump’s “wait in Mexico” policy for asylum-seekers and halting construction of the border wall. That platform gave migrants good reason to believe it would be easier to get into the United States if he were elected.”
A mother executed by American police. Guess what – she was black. “Pig” is too kind for these bastards — “maggot” is more suitable. There are several tapes of this on YouTube, this is the briefest I could find. The cop fully deserves the death penalty. He won’t receive it, but he should.

But let’s take a look at what this is costing Western Europe in general, and Germany in particular:
“Europe’s manufacturing slump shows no sign of ending”

“European industry — and Germany first and foremost — was battered by the surge in energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

it [is] time to consider whether the current slump in manufacturing is not “as temporary and cyclical in nature as has been assumed.” ”
Again, I realize that there are some for whom NOTHING is more important than preventing Russia from achieving its stated objectives in Ukraine.

Dastardly David, Gentleman Goliath and the Underdog Syndrome … This is a conflict of barbarianism versus civilisation. And it’s coming to the West.

mcohen,
Good. I recommend the article. It’s obviously partisan, but the fact that Hamas has proven themselves to be terrorists cannot be ignored. They are not good guys. But that doesn’t excuse the IDF’s near complete disregard for the lives of Palestinians and even their own hostages.
I agree.its a 4 8 et 3pm situation no win
Bottom line: the career bureaucracy in the swamp is predominantly Democrat and think that the government belongs to them. They have (and will) resist any Republican/conservative policies.
The so-called “expertise” is generally non-existent. Most of them are paper shuffling drones who wouldn’t last until lunchtime in areas of the private sector that would pay their inflated salaries.
The Secret Service is fhe latest example of a bloated collection of incompetents.
Some are making the argument that the Project 2025 policies are being tested here in Florida and there are some evidence of that. So far it has damaged education, on all levels and our very conservative farmers are livid that many migrants have left the state and their crops are rotting in the fields. We also have an home insurance crisis that is driving people from their homes and many condo dwellers cannot afford their special assessments that are mandated by the state. Retirement homes are cutting back on services because they are unable to find the young women who typically staff them. We have also had political attacks on businesses and a lot of money spent on political stunts. I hope the rest of the country is paying attention, because today’s Republicans are essentially only able to drive a clown car. They sure enough are not able to take care of business, unless it is for major donors and even there, as we see with the farmers, they also fail.
Of course Donald Trump is of interest in America.
It turns out there is a video of his mother being interviewed in 1994,
where she recalls her origins on an island north of Scotland.

An interesting history.
The posts specifically about the assassination attempt on President Trump have their comments closed,
so I will post this here.
