My notes and highlights on Goodreads

After seeing this standard boilerplate policy paper from the Heritage Foundation demonized by the left as some sort of Trumpian blueprint for a Fascist America, I subjected myself to reading what I knew would be as boring as reading the telephone book (remember when we had those?). It was a labor of endurance.

While the title is enough to give the left the shakes (It mentions TRUMP!!!), that is most likely an attempt by the Heritage Foundation to make it seem like it is something other than standard Heritage RINO pablum it is. They have positive things to say about Trump, but just as many about Reagan if not more. For those who have forgotten, Reagan was once a CRAZY idiot who believed the USSR could be defeated if the US just built tech that the enemy couldn’t keep up with. The book is not a Trump anything. It is a think tank paper. However, the ruling oligarchy REALLY wants you to believe it is some sort of “totalitarian horror,” so many of the narrative slaves believe.

As we know, the destruction of the world by nuclear winter (covered in the documentary “The Day After”) proved the oligarchy was right about Reagan! The end of the world was almost as bad as “The Most Deadliest Day Ever,” J6, 2021!

Where were you on that day??? I recall where I was when JFK and RFK were assassinated, on 9/11 and even when the Challenger exploded. Probably since J6 was more terrifying than the heat death of the universe, I’ve just suppressed my memory of the horror!

The Project 2025 book is so boring might you think you are reading the notes on the plenary report of the subcommittee on the potential climate dangers of Eelpout. Nothing about radically changing government, getting rid of corrupt alphabet agencies, or actually mentioning that the Deep State has been weaponized against conservatives — because they MIGHT actually be a threat to the Democrat Administrative State Mass Media Oligarchy if they get something like FDR's control of all branches of government for a decade+ or something.

That likely would not work though, because as FDR warned, the Unconstitutional Administrative State is now unionized, which makes its ability to manipulate both political parties just by dollars pretty much unlimited, even if they don’t have to jail or kill anyone who opposes them. (My thoughts on that here.)

Here is a quote on the sort of mayhem this book is full of!

Empowering Families and Communities: Policies will be enacted to support family stability and values. This includes eliminating marriage penalties in the tax code, promoting parental rights in education, and supporting initiatives that strengthen community bonds. The pro-life agenda will be advanced, protecting the rights of the unborn and supporting mothers and families through comprehensive social policies.

Can you imagine the sort of MAYHEM stable families not penalized by the tax code could do to Drag Queen Story Hours! The book even argues that PARENTS should be empowered to decide how to educate their children! Something dear rulers including Hitler, Stalin, Mao and many other admirable leaders have warned us against! Children must be carefully taught their parents are evil and be removed from their domination ASAP! Opposing this sort of obvious goodness is just one reason this book is so scary a read if you are an intelligent believer of the truest information ever from the Democrat oligarchy!

I hesitate to expose you to the sort of subversive ideas contained in this Fascist manifesto, but in the interest of warning you of the depravity.

Enforcing the Hatch Act: The OSC enforces the Hatch Act, which restricts the political activities of federal employees.

I’m shocked that Democrats are not locked in a basement with Biden at the thought that a law proposed by and named for a Democrat before being passed in 1939 might be enforced! Since the people supposed to enforce this law are unionized employees of the agencies your tax dollars fund, and who need to get candidates elected that will raise their salaries and reduce their work hours, this proposal being implemented makes the future of the snowball in Hell approximate eternity.

I know you have been through a lot if you have read this far, but this may calm you. It sounds like something Kamalala might copy:

Looking forward, the DHS must continue to adapt to evolving threats and challenges. This includes investing in advanced technologies, enhancing cooperation with international partners, and developing comprehensive immigration reform that balances security with humanitarian considerations. The vision for 2025 involves creating a border security framework that is robust, humane, and adaptable to new realities.

This quote sounds like something Hillary may have written:

The Role of social media in Disinformation Campaigns: The proliferation of social media has transformed the landscape of information warfare. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been used to spread disinformation and propaganda. The intelligence community must work with these platforms to develop effective strategies for identifying and countering disinformation.

I know, I know, we can’t contemplate people the left disagrees with doing the things the left does! Yes, Elon Musk is frightening with all that free speech talk, but he is being investigated seven ways from Sunday, and when Kamala is installed, he is going down.

The link to my Goodreads is above. I tried my best to pick out the scariest scary parts I could find so I could maybe imagine some on the left finding it scary rather than just using it as another fake bogeyman to scare the uninformed.

Oh yes, Heritage is against killing babies! … much more than Trump, so maybe that is the really scary “make you want to suck your own blood” kind of horror that petrified some lefty. This may help us understand the tragedy of Dobbs.

    Only the name stirs fear in the left. The contents don't. The left's perps don’t hate what is in it. They hate what they are told us in it.
