Editorial Note: In hopes of continuing the Good Fight of protecting our Democracy, by means of the Ballot Box, I offer these two fact-based reports. Near as I can gauge it —the public sympathy-sentiment— the odds of this Heritage Foundation’s “Transition Plan” being wholesale adopted, should Trump regain the White House, have just gone way up, not down.
Apologies if these reports, one from WSJ and one from CNN, are viewed as being “too soon” or as “raising the political temperature” again. I figure that “business as usual” is about to commerce at the RNC Convention anyways (JD Vance), and via various other conservative media outlets (Fox, CNBC, News Nation). If Dems sit it out much longer, in ourbest-behavior “penalty box,” we will be ceding swing-voter ground, that we will find it damn difficult to gain back, once the RNC “celebration week” is over.

This “explainer” from the Wall Street Journal highlights the dangers of the Project 2025 take-over plan. It also includes several clips from Heritage Foundation CEO, Kevin (2nd American Revolution) Roberts, and what he intends to accomplish with the plan.
It’s a good substitute for people who don’t have the time or inclination for reading a 900-page document. Especially interesting is the info-graphics illustration of how the Heritage Foundation plans to fire(without cause) over 50 thousand non-partisan government employees, and replace them with vetted and approved “Trump Loyalists,”that only theyapprove, from their own internal database.
Project 2025: The Radical Conservative Plan to Reshape America Under Trump
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is a radical blueprint for a future Republican administration. Former president Donald Trump has distanced himself from the plan, but Democrats aren’t buying Trump’s rebuke. If enacted, this 920-page document would usher in the most conservative executive branch in modern American history.
Evidence shatters Trump’s claims about his ties to Project 2025
Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for the next Republican president that has attracted considerable blowback in his race for the White House. At least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.

Project 2025
Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.

Project 2025 —Playbook
180-Day Playbook
The Heritage Foundation aims to correct their mistakes from the first Trump Administration —and this time have their plan ready on Day One.
Will we —the proponents of Democracy—be half as ready, to carry on with that Good Fight … and help save our low-info nation from the chaos, just over the horizon?
Democrats would be much better off, if they talked about the Stakes—and not about the Race.

Editorial Note: a version of this story was originally posted on July 13th, but was then removed once I became aware of the events in the Trump PA rally, that had recently happened. I only learned of the shooting after reading a few stories about it here, as I had the TV turned off all day. I un-published that story then, out of deference to the 24/7 news [shock-and-awe] cycle, which was just beginning.
Above is a less snarky version of the original post [Who 'highjacked' WSJ and CNN, So that they are NOW Exposing Project 2025 Plans and Trump's Denials?]. It has been revised and toned down, and reposted today, in hopes of somehow countering the ongoing corporate media’s “Trump coronation,” currently in progress.

PSS. Both of the clips are very good and worth a watch, and then passing along.
