Democratic candidates and campaign ads often cite “Project 2025” as the outline for a future Trump presidency. Project 2025 was developed by a conservative think tank organization, the Heritage Foundation, to outline a set of policy proposals for any future Republican administration or president. The Heritage Foundation develops and publishes such policy suggestions every four years.
The left seems intent on using Project 2025 to instill fear into voters, saying that this IS President Trump’s guideline if elected in November. Just like Russia collusion, Hunter’s laptop, and Biden’s dementia, the left is lying about such. The Heritage Foundation, Politifact and even CNN websites provide just a few examples of lies that have been debunked. In the debate, Trump said he had not even read Project 2025 and had nothing to do with it.
The facts are as follows: Project 2025 does not propose any cuts to Social Security or changes to the retirement age. Project 2025 does not call to end the Affordable Care Act or eliminating its protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Project 2025 does not condemn single mothers while promoting only traditional families. Project 2025 does not endorse the authoritarian unitary executive theory. There are more examples of such, but one has to wonder how many other lies regarding Project 2025 are being pushed by the media and Vice-President Harris camp?
President Trump has his own policy ideas, which is why he does not need to embrace Project 2025 and has repeatedly distanced himself from such. Agenda 47 specifically lists out what Trump wants to do should he win in November. It is incredibly detailed and clear, unlike any of the vague word salads coming from his opponent, Vice-President Harris.
I suspect that many of those trying to scare voters over Project 2025 have not read it. If they had, they would see that most of the proposals are simply common sense. Just a few examples from the Heritage Foundation website:
- 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 DC bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments
- Ban biological males from competing in women’s sports
Americans may or may not agree with some of the ideas in 2025. The Heritage Foundation states: “Then as now, most reasonable Americans could find some proposals they like and some they don’t like. That’s OK.” Overall, Project 2025 is pro-family, pro-security, pro-energy, pro-law enforcement/military, pro-fiscal responsibility, and most importantly, pro-American.
Let’s look at another playbook that is the exact opposite of Project 2025 and is adhered to by many on the left. Penned by a community organizer and Marxist, Saul Alinksy’s anti-American book “Rules for Radicals” is a step-by-step guide for destroying the country from within. Barack Obama followed such and succeeded in dividing this country in many ways while president. Joe Biden’s administration has continued to follow Obama’s lead. For those who disagree that Obama was influenced by Alinsky, from Investors Business Daily (1/26/12):
- Obama first learned Alinsky’s rules in the 1980s, when Alinskyite radicals with the Chicago-based Alinsky group Gamaliel Foundation recruited, hired, trained, and paid him as a community organizer in South Side Chicago.
- In 1988, Obama even wrote a chapter for the book “After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois,” in which he lamented organizers’ “lack of power” in implementing change.
- Obama took a break from his Harvard studies to travel to Los Angeles for eight days of intense training at Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation…
- In turn, he trained other community organizers in Alinsky agitation tactics.
- Power would no longer be an issue, as Obama infiltrated the highest echelon of the political establishment — the White House — fulfilling Alinsky’s vision of a new “vanguard” of coat-and-tie radicals who “work inside the system” to change the system.
Project 2025 is being demonized simply because it extolls conservative values. Rules for Radicals, published in 1971, IS a real blueprint aimed at ending America. Shockingly, within the book, Alinksy characterizes Lucifer and the “first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment.” Lucifer – Satan – the devil – described simply as a “radical rebelling?!?!?!”
The entire book is a recipe for destruction. How to tear everything down and rebuild a socialist utopia – benignly calling such “change” or “progress.” Here’s hoping that President Trump and other conservative candidates start to call out the left on “Rules for Radicals.” If the left can frighten people with lies about Project 2025, the right should be able to frighten people with the truth about Rules for Radicals. Both books clearly represent good versus evil. Project 2025 is not the evil one.
“A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage — the political paradise of communism.” – Saul Alinksy
