It’s just hanging around his very old neck. Project 2025, I mean. The Heritage Foundation, the conservative stink tank behind this horrific plan, let people see their Project 2025 too soon. People realized this is the conservative blueprint and thinking Americans have been warning everybody in ear shot ever since.
They want to eliminate government agencies. You know, the unimportant ones -like the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security. They want to criminalize mailing contraception across state lines and eliminate Mifepristone all together. They want to outlaw porn, fercrissakes. They want to eliminate environmental regulations and crack down on programs to promote diversity in the workplace.
They want to replace thousands of competent workers with incompetent loyalists. They want to increase the President’s power over the Department of Justice, harming the rule of law even further in this once-great nation. It’s curious, how the cons are always trying to make it harder to prosecute white collar crimes, isn’t it? Why, it’s almost as if they know what crimes they want to commit and make them okay.
Oh, yeah, the tax cuts. Always with the tax cuts for the rich.
Trump can’t get away from Project 2025. People know it’s the conservative playbook for the future. Trump himself, it should be noted, has said he knows nothing of Project 2025 and that some of the things they’re saying are “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.” Quick question, how does he know some of the things they’re saying are ridiculous and abysmal if he knows nothing of Project 2025? Just asking.
The leader of the group responsible for writing P25 has stepped down in an effort to trick voters into thinking P25 is dead. There has even been an announcement to that effect. But, no. It’s not dead. It’s a trick. Even the Heritage Foundation has acknowledged work on the project will continue unabated. The cons are telling you, flatly, what they plan to do to you. TO you. All you have to do is listen – and respond accordingly.
For clarity, “respond accordingly” means do NOT vote Republican, ever…

Well, so much for courting the black vote, eh? Trump goes for an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and says Harris just “turned black and now she wants to be known as black.” Wow, did she just turn black? Because I thought she’s been half black for as long as I’ve known about her and I’m pretty sure SHE knows her heritage even better than I do!
She DID attend a famously black college (Howard University) and pledged a famously black sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha). Oh, and she was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus when she was a Senator. Those things tend to support the idea that she’s known about her black roots for a long time and, perhaps, did NOT “just turn black.”
He was apparently unnerved by the way the host, Rachel Scott of ABC News, began the interview. He said she was rude. She was just getting down to business. The part he really didn’t like was that she was asking real and tough questions. He’s used to fawning, softball interviews on Fox Not-News. “Mr President, how tough is the burden of being the greatest human being ever to live?” That sort of thing.
But Scott wasn’t wasting people’s time. She had some real questions about Trump’s sordid history with black people. She asked them. He avoided them – at least until his team pulled him from the stage about halfway through the agreed amount of time.
His presence upset a lot of the members of NABJ. They did NOT want to invite him. They didn’t want to give a platform to a known racist. I think they were mistaken. I think it was a fine thing, showcasing his racism for all the world to see. Sure, he tried to tone it down but a racist is gonna racist and he didn’t disappoint. In the end the NABJ didn’t “give him a platform.” They put a spotlight on his racist views – in public.
I guess, in fairness, I should point out that he once donated to a Harris campaign so his campaign staff says that proves he’s NOT racist. I’m not sure those two things go together. Besides, at the time, he may not have realized she’s black. HE says he “just found out!” Listen, he also once confessed he didn’t know there was such a thing as NATO until he became President.
It IS possible to live with one’s head buried so far in the sand they know (care?) nothing of the world around them. Trump cares about Trump and nothing else. And I do mean, absolutely nothing.
