When your political opponents push extremist public policies that would be disastrous for America, should you wring your hands in dread… or applaud?

Consider “Project 2025,” put together by former Trump officials and the Koch brothers’ network of billionaire plutocrats. Their strategy is to win the presidency next year by demonizing all environmental protections and promising to halt all national efforts to cope with the obvious crises of c*****e c****e. Their proposals include repealing regulations that curb f****l f**l pollution, terminating our nation’s t***sition to renewable energy, shutting down all environmental protection agencies, encouraging more oil and gas drilling and use, and promoting the deadly delusion that g****l w*****g is not a real problem.

Moreover, they intend to implement Project 2025 in the first 180 days of a right-wing Republican’s p**********l term – obviously anticipating that Donald Trump will be that president. “We are not tinkering at the edges,” brags a far-out right-wing group that instigated the scheme, “We are writing a battle plan and we are marshalling our forces.” They’ve already drawn up a list of agencies and policies they’ll begin eliminating on Day One, and they’ve readied a list of some 20,000 right-wing henchmen to put on the federal payroll immediately to enforce their plan.

If this sounds ludicrous, it is. But it’s actually happening, for the Republican Party has decided to be ludicrous. As the director of Project 2025 told the New York Times, “[This is] where the conservative movement sits at this time.”

Maybe, but it damn sure won’t sit well with the American people, who’re presently suffering the hellish ravages of our rapidly overheating climate. Indeed, here’s a great chance for Democrats to demonstrate their bipartisan spirit by doing all they can to publicize the Republicans’ let-it-burn g****l w*****g policy.

God's speed to cleaning up the sewage in Washington D.C.

How's about the Biden-supported UN Agenda 2030 which includes a once-in-a-generation overhaul of the international financial and economic system with digital ID and currency where everyone will be forced to comply with the new system, and if they don’t, they’ll locked out?

That Republican plan sounds like a good start.

Bipartisan spirt. Snort, snort.

G****l w*****g is not a real problem.

We need cheap abundant energy to prosper, you're against humanity with your climate crisis nonsense

First of all, the 2025 P**********l T***sition Project was organized by the Heritage Foundation and builds upon their policy book, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.

The Koch Bros have nothing to do with it.

The only former Trump official involved is Paul Dans, who served as chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Trump administration, as well as OPM’s White House liaison and senior advisor to the director.

The Project 2025 Advisory Board, which continues to expand, is chaired by The Heritage Foundation and is composed of representatives from leading organizations throughout the conservative movement, including at present: Alliance Defending Freedom, America First Legal, American Accountability Foundation, American Center for Law and Justice, American Legislative Exchange Council, American Moment, American Principles Project, Center for Renewing America, Claremont Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Concerned Women for America, Conservative Partnership Institute, Defense of Freedom Institute, Family Research Council, First Liberty Institute, Foundation for Government Accountability, FreedomWorks, Leadership Institute, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Texas Public Policy Foundation, Young American Foundation.

Since the first edition of “Mandate for Leadership” more than 40 years ago, this “policy bible” aims to provide administrations with a blueprint of policy solutions. The Reagan administration implemented nearly half of the ideas included in the first edition by the end of his first year in office, while the Trump administration embraced nearly 64% of the 2016 edition’s policy solutions after one year.

“Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” offers both specific proposals for addressing every major issue facing the country and a blueprint for how to restructure each agency to solve those issues.

Among the recommendations are:

* Restore the integrity of the Department of Justice to ensure accountability by giving the FBI a hard rest, ensuring consistent litigation decisions, and enforcing i*********n l*ws.
* Solidify our border by restructuring the Department of Homeland Security and its priorities in ways that streamline the immigration process, end unclear immigration visas, and create a more secure immigration process.
* Break up the Department of Education to strengthen education freedom, enhance parental rights in education, and protect taxpayers from student loan “forgiveness.”

Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts released the following statement praising the publication:

“For over two years, the Left has ignored the voice of everyday Americans leading to crippling inflation, b********l m**es dominating women’s sports, rampant violence, and a crisis in education not seen in decades. Our country is all but unrecognizable.

“This is why the conservative movement is coming together to prepare for the next conservative administration. Heritage is convening the conservative movement behind the policies to ensure that the next president has the right policy and personnel necessary to dismantle the administrative state and restore self-governance to the American people.

“‘The Conservative Promise’ is just the first step in preparing future conservative leaders for the task of serving their country, and it will continue to guide the movement-wide coalition. We know what time it is; the conservative movement is on offense to restore our great nation.”

Secondly, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on C*****e C****e, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism (H/T Karl Marx). Essentially the idea is a new global economic model that destroys Capitalism and fleeces the wealthy nations for a world wide redistribution of wealth.

United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer said, "One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole. We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy."

Thirdly, about 98% of EPA regulations now in place are onerous, oppressive, and are designed to control people, not the environment.

The "deadly delusion" is g****l w*****g is a real problem.

Why is America, "100%, & totally responsible for this effort?

Did China, & Russia, & Ukraine...."Buy their way out of this earthly responsibility?"

Trump, was trying to bring these huge entities, into synch with our realization... but...Biden, & his cronies, would hear of it!

It's like the UN....The worthless entity, & a total waste of American tax dollars! [ Baloney!]

microphor Loc: Home is TN

This is a crock. Why? It doesn't represent the whole of the Republican party. This is more left wing scare tactics BS. The Democrat party with the backing of DNC attempted to destroy the party in 2016 by forging, lying and persuing the Republican choice for president and now you want me to believe this crap.

Ronald Hatt Loc: Lansing, Mich

If...the brain-dead *Demoncrap elite v**ers...were cognizant of Life/Politics in this Republic....we would not be in this mess today!

This should be the "Last...wakeup call for v**ers in America! You either v**e responsibly, [ vet the candidate]....

"OR"...go home....you will not have a home "shortly"....[ Get it right!]
