Why Is 'Project 2025' So Vilified by Both
Political Parties?

“Project 2025.” It was mentioned during last night’s debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, just as it has repeatedly come up over the course of this year’s remarkably unusual presidential campaign. True to form, it was criticized by Harris and disavowed by Trump. Much has been written about Project 2025, which is detailed in a 887-page book – Mandate for Leadership, The Conservative Promise -- published last year by the Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based, conservative think tank, as a guide for a hoped-for conservative-oriented presidency to follow that of President Biden.

It is disavowed by Trump because the left has already been trashing it and is trying to use it against Trump. I suspect if congress passes legislation based on suggestions that are in that plan, Trump will support them. However it is now too close to the election to defend a document the Democrat propaganda outlets are already dumping on. It would be foolish to voice support for it right now, and would gain nothing. Trump can be truthful that it isn't his plan and by not reading it he isn't saying whether he is for it or not, because he doesn't need to address it right now. Don't take that as a policy position because it isn't, it is just politics. The Dems are trying to make it sound sinister, so Trump isn't taking the bait.

OK, I'll admit I haven't read anywhere near the whole thing... But I have read bits and pieces, and what I have read, I get the feeling that it is partially slightly conservative leaning on some of the social, yet mostly "Big Government" Establishment control of everything that really counts as far as running the country. The things I do kind of like don't go far enough and the stuff I don't like go way too far. I'm very glad that Trump is distancing himself from it.

Any plan over 25 pages long is usually worthless and the fact that it was drawn up by a reclusive think-tank guarantees it. At the moment we are operating under Project 1984.

The left has jumped on project 2025 because it reduces the size of government and reduces it power. However, the biggest issue the left has with project 2025 is the pro-life agenda in it. That's the third rail for the democrats. Trump has dismissed project 2025 because the leftist media is trashing it the same way conservatives have trashed the 1619 project. It's now been drummed into the heads of people by the media that if the media thinks project 2025 is bad, it must be bad for the country. I wonder how project 2025 would be viewed by people if it had been explained to them and published so people could read it before the endless attacks by the leftist media on it.

Enter Marc Elias. Dem operative behind voter fraud schemes and lawsuits for years. Elias also runs "Democracy Docket", a democrat front group behind these voter fraud schemes AND is behind the press release agitprop--if not outright lies--about Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025". Democracy Docket disseminates the misleading press releases on Project 2025. The press ,of course, never check Marc Elias' or Democrat Docket's false claims about it and run with it. The press never even bothers READING any of the points in Project 2025. So, the press and the dems then attempt to smear Trump or any other conservative over Project 2025. And voila! The lie has gone half way around the world before the truth can get it's shoes on about Project 2025. Way to go, Elias.

I didn't watch the debate. But read enough articles, analyses and video clips to form an opinion . What I saw simply was to starkly differing messages. Trump message was (restoration of) prosperity, security. Harris continued insistence of overreach of government to preserve political power. Attacks on Project 2025 are really red herrings to distract focus from Trump's message. Trump is concerned that direct defense of the Project will aid and enable the Democrat effort. It is true that if it's provisions were passed and brought to a re-elected President Trump he will sign them.

The proposals in Project 2025 documents are just proposals by the authors, that will remain proposals unless Congress approves them and passes legislation forming whatever proposals the Congress wishes into law. At the moment the leftist and progressive Democrats are just blustering about that proposed document as another bogus partisan political attack on Trump.

Today, Wednesday September 11, 2024, is the 1,332nd day of Joe Biden in office. It is also the 12th anniversary of the attack at a U.S. embassy outpost in Benghazi, Libya, and the 10th anniversary of my 2-year research project. The “Benghazi Brief” remains the most in-depth research report CTH has ever produced. The brief took two years of research to assemble and contains hundreds of very specific citations supporting it. Ten years after the brief was originally written in 2014, nothing within the outline has ever been identified as inaccurate. The full brief has been updated below adding context depth from current events.

I don't think it helps to just say what people want to hear. The truth matters. And the truth is that it was not a great debate for Donald Trump on Tuesday night. I suspect he did little to no debate prep in advance, and every time Kamala baited him, he took the bait. It goes without saying that Kamala Harris lied her way through the debate, but the moderators didn't fact-check her once, yet Trump was "fact-checked" between five and seven times — and the fact-checks weren't always accurate. Perhaps because of what I do for a living, I'm extra critical of Donald Trump's performance.

One of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in this fall’s presidential race won’t remove more than 4 million ineligible names from its voter rolls. “Wisconsin’s population is a little less than 6 million, with 3.5 million active voters,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Daily Signal in a written statement. “So why do election officials refuse to clean up Wisconsin’s voter rolls and [instead] allow up to 4.1 million inactive voters to remain, with the potential for fraudulently using those names?”

The pretence that the UK's new Labour government has moved away from the blatant anti-Semitism that was rife under its former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has been brutally exposed by the actions of David Lammy, the party's new Foreign Secretary. It was during Corbyn's stint as Labour leader that his party faced constant accusations of anti-Semitism. A damning report produced by the Jewish Labour Movement in 2019 said the party harboured "endemic, institutional anti-Semitism" and that there was "overwhelming evidence that anti-Semitic conduct is pervasive at all levels of the party."

The first presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris has ended. While there were some inevitable disappointments and lost opportunities, I am here to assure you that, yes, Trump definitely performed better overall than Harris did, in spite of the egregiously biased moderators. Trump was working under a handicap, because the debate moderators — most particularly Trump-hating, Harris-loving David Muir — were as eager to undermine him as Harris was, meaning Trump was essentially debating three people at once.

The ABC moderators for the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris couldn’t have been more biased. Not once did they fact-check Harris’ long list of lies. But I will leave the fact-checking of David Muir and Linsey Davis’ lies to others. I will focus on only one of Muir's discussions on crime. DAVID MUIR: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country, …” In fact, Trump was correct about the increase in crime under Biden. While violent crime fell by 17 percent under Trump, Biden has seen it rise by 43 percent.

Trump promptly corrected Harris on the debate stage, saying,

Yes, conservatives, on Tuesday night, ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis harassed The Donald, coddled Kamala, and broke their rule by opening her mic to interrupt. But here’s the deal: Harris was ready and rarin’ with a better-designed strategy to make her case and get under that orange skin. From the opening handshake she initiated, she capitalized on the luck of the draw: not just the network, but also an opponent who stumbled, rambled, and ranted. Kamala showed up flawlessly turned out – contrasting her CNN appearance – confident … and superbly prepped.
