Three points you might be missing:
1. Project 2025 is a winner.
2. J.D. Vance will be the second-greatest vice president.
3. Jill Biden is running the country.
First things first. Democrats have made Project 2025, a policy paper of recommendations put out every four years by the Heritage Foundation, into a bogeyman. But the meat of Project 2025 is a feast for President Donald Trump to devour upon taking office on Jan. 20. The think tank titled it “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.”
Most of it is a reflection of Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda, and indeed it’ll help the country do a U-turn before driving off the left-hand cliff.
But who has seen the project’s substance? Trump swears he hasn’t. His America First crowd treats it like cyanide because of one lonely corner raising the alarm about abortion pills.
Why the panic? Because Vice President Kamala Harris’ pinko team paints it as a psycho manifesto even though the project states the obvious: “Abortion and euthanasia are not health care.”
Instead of cowering to the roaring radicals, Republicans should stand tall with a spine and cheer the brilliance of Project 2025-29. Add those years because in reality President Trump will push its champion aspects throughout his second term.
Here’s much of what the Heritage Foundation outlines:
* Secure the border, finish building the wall, and deport illegal aliens.
* De-weaponize the federal government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ.
* Unleash American energy production to reduce energy prices.
* Cut the growth of government spending to reduce inflation.
* Make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected president and Congress.
* Improve education by moving control and funding of education from D.C. bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments.

* Ban biological males from competing in women’s sports
What’s not to like?
When I first heard about this 2025, I went to the website and read the several page overview.
Strictly constitution based.
Nothing to not like.
Unless you like the deep, administrative state
* Secure the border, finish building the wall, and deport illegal aliens.
* De-weaponize the federal government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ.
* Unleash American energy production to reduce energy prices.
* Cut the growth of government spending to reduce inflation.
* Make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected president and Congress.
* Improve education by moving control and funding of education from D.C. bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments.
* Ban biological males from competing in women’s sports.
The big problem I have with this list is very little of it is actually foundational. The border wall is the only item here of note.
“De-weaponize?” So we’re going to leave the FBI in place instead of abolishing it, so that the progressives can just do what progressives do and come back, weaponize it again? Abolish would be foundational. Just “reducing things” is a mickey mouse game.
“Unleash?” So we’re going to leave the Department of Energy in place instead of abolishing it, so that the progressives can just do what progressives do and come back, and leash American energy again? It’s a mickey mouse game.
“Cut?” Not abolish?
“accountable?” Not abolish?
“improve education?” So we’re going to leave the Department of Education in place instead of abolishing it, so that the progressives can just do what progressives do and come back, and re-assume educational supremacy? It’s a mickey mouse game.
These are all mickey mouse games. Even bans can be un-banned in the face of people who refuse to get involved on any day that isn’t that one day that happens every 730 days - election day. Progressives do not wait until election day and that’s a big problem for us.
If we don’t have some foundational changes made should Trump get elected, it will be a lot of a waste of 4 years.
Like the abolition of Roe. It wasn’t just cut. It wasn’t just reigned in. It wasn’t a mickey mouse game. THAT is how foundational change is obtained.
Give us examples of some FOUNDATIONAL changes that need to be made.
I listed 5 of them, at least.
