Let's Call It What It Is: The Cult of Project 2025

The term PROJECT 2025 has been much bandied about in the news these days. It was being hailed as the roadmap to messianic political redemption by some, or the precursor to the complete suspension of the Constitution. Either way you wanna view it, it's a radical manifesto. If you don't know what Project 2025is, you should educate yourself. It's an arm of the Heritage Foundation, a very conservative, right wing kinda group. 

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration. 

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration. 
 
These are the four pillars:

Policy Agenda

Building on the legacy of Mandate for Leadership, this comprehensive policy guide for the incoming presidential Administration will offer specific proposals for every major issue facing the country, pulling from the expertise of the entire conservative movement. 

 

Personnel Database 

The most comprehensive policy agenda will have only limited impact without the right people in place to implement it. The project will cast a net across the country to identify conservatives from all walks of life to serve in the next conservative Administration 

 

Training

To turn this talent pool into effective conservative administrators, the project will bring together experts who have served in prior Administrations and can share their knowledge through workshops, seminars, online videos, and mentorship. 

 

180-Day Playbook

The time is short, and conservatives need a plan. The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies.


They also have have deep pockets, considerable support. Read the Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise the180-Day Transition Playbook: There's some pretty scary stuff in there. 

In a nutshell, the playbooks is a roadmap for repealing damn near everything Presidents Obama and Biden accomplished. It claims to favor civil rights, rights of the individual, rights of parents, etc, but read between the lines: it's promoting a nanny state where those who disagree are at risk....especially women, Indigenous Peoples, the LGBTQ, non-church supporters, and the environment. By removing protections at various levels, all those areas are subject to no protection whatsoever. 

I read the Education sections of both documents from end to end. Sure, there are some things that sound sane in there, but only if you don't look too closely. Their big push is to remove anything to do with sexual orientation and identification, race history in America, and basic critical thinking skills. The repeal of statutes puts education into the hands of the vocal minority, drains funds from public education with huge vouchers, and will, in the end, leave our kids at a distinct disadvantage in all aspects of education and global competitiveness. It is the intentional dumbing down of America.

The following are quotes taken from the Mandate for Leadership:

Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society… These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families.” (Project 2025, pages 482-483). 

 

“Working fathers are essential to the well-being and development of their children… HHS should prioritize married father engagement in its messaging, health, and welfare policies.” (Project 2025, page 483). 

 

Criticism of Non-traditional Family Structures:

“Outcomes for children raised in homes aside from a heterosexual, intact marriage are clear: All other family forms involve higher levels of instability… For the sake of child well-being, programs should affirm that children require and deserve both the love and nurturing of a mother and the play and protection of a father.” (Project 2025, page 513) 

 

Policy Recommendations Favoring Hetero-conformity:

“HMRE program grants should be available to faith-based recipients who affirm that marriage is between not just any two adults, but one man and one unrelated woman.” (Project 2025, page 513).  

 

Clearly spelled out, these are their versions of normal family. I know a few....but I also know a lot of two-mom and two-dad households that have managed somehow to raise incredible kids. 

In the Mishnah, there are a number of different genders and sexes that are discussed. In addition to zachar [male] and nekevah [female] there are four other genders/sexes that the Rabbis recognize: 

An androgynos is "a person who has both male and female sexual characteristics" 
A tumtum is "a person whose sexual characteristics are indeterminate or obscured." 
An ay'lonit is "a person who is identified as "female" at birth but develops "male" characteristics at puberty and is infertile." 
A saris is "a person who is identified as "male" at birth but develops "female" characteristics as puberty and/or is lacking male genitalia."
Rejection does not inspire a path to any faith; it turns people away which makes no sense to me. Two sides talking. But that's really the biggest clue: they only want their own "kind." That the Christian right does not acknowledge more than male or female genders exist demonstrates their refusal to address reality and lack of compassion for large chunks of humanity. If that is their position, and indeed it is, there is no reason to believe they will treat anyone other than their disciples and followers with any sort of respect for their lives. If one falls outside their norm, what is to be their fate? Expulsion? Execution? Imprisonment? "Re-education?" It smacks of Nazi era eugenics.

Coupled with their position papers, there is wisdom in believing that those who do not agree are not worthy of life in their newly revised nation. If you drink their KoolAid and follow their rules, you can be in. Otherwise, you are out...whatever that means.

Let's call it what it is: cultism. 

These are the ideologues that will push Feckless back to power....not because he can lead, but because they can manipulate him out of the way. He will be their puppet. They'll let him spout his idiocies, misdirecting the scrutiny away from them, while they dismantle whatever is left of the republic. 

And they will get their way. 

Wanna know why? Because the Dems just handed them the election. 

Wanna know what I wanna know? I wanna know what was in the water President Biden was drinking before and during the debate.  Yeah, yeah...conspiracy theory. But as a stage director, I've seen Biden on stage a lot. I think he was mildly drugged. Did they give him Benadryl for his cold? Nyquil instead of Dayquil? Considering his performance the next day at a rally, it's hard to believe he wasn't chemically impaired. Was it an accident? Or was it intentional? Conspiracy theory? Sure; why not? My weird-shit-o-meter was totally off the scales with that one. 

Yeah, he's old. Frankly, they're both too old to be president, but replacing Biden at this point is absurd. There is not enough time to vet, prep, and display a candidate before the convention. Had the congressclowns asking him to step aside done this three months ago? Sure. I would've supported that. Had they done this and held up their ideal replacement? Maybe. But this is political seppuku

The issue isn't more people voting for Feckless....it's that more people, disgusted with the choices, will sit out this election. 

I want to be wrong. I want there to be some kind of August miracle for this country. I'm not convinced it will happen, but hoping is okay, too. 

The Wifely Person's Tip o'the Day:
Hey, Joe! 
Now that the courts have granted presidents all that immunity....
Mebbe you should reactivate Seal Team-Six 
to protect the country and constitution
from imminent harm. 
You know Feckless would do exactly that.
