If only conservatives from Heritage would just worry to death about their own sex lives.
A USA TODAY analysis of Project 2025 found at least five of its contributors have a history of racist writings or white supremacist activity. One advocated for the “forced sterilization of ‘low IQ’ people” with the racist lie that they are usually Black.

Head of pro-Trump Project 2025 steps down as Democrats ramp up attacks
Washington — Paul Dans, the director of the Project 2025 presidential transition initiative overseen by the Heritage Foundation, is leaving his post at the think tank, the group's president confirmed Tuesday.
Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, said in a statement that Dans, who previously served in the Trump administration, will be departing after having led the transition initiative for the past two years. He thanked Dans for his work on Project 2025.
Roberts indicated that when the project was launched in April 2022, Heritage set a timeline for it to finish policy-drafting after the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions, and said it is "sticking to that timeline." The Republican National Convention was held in Milwaukee earlier this month, and the Democratic National Convention will kick off in Chicago on Aug. 19.
"Under Paul Dans' leadership, Project 2025 has completed exactly what it set out to do: bringing together over 110 leading conservative organizations to create a unified conservative vision, motivated to devolve power from the unelected administrative state, and returning it to the people," Roberts said. "This tool was built for any future administration to use."
A Project 2025 advisory board member said the initiative's work is likely to continue, adding it was a "natural progression of the project" to submit its work, including a database of potential hires and a list of policy recommendations for the first six months of a potential second Trump term, to the former president's campaign for review.
Trump appointed Dans in January 2021 to serve as chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission, though President Biden removed him from the post after taking office, according to the Washington Post. Other former officials with the Trump administration who contributed to Project 2025's policy guide include Russ Vought, who led the Office of Management and Budget; former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller; and Ben Carson, who led the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Org behind Project 2025 once praised Stalin for ending no-fault divorce
Heritage Foundation — which is the chief group pushing the Project 2025 initiative — once heaped praise on Russian dictator Joseph Stalin for his socially conservative policies.
On the social media platform Bluesky, journalist Faine Greenwood posted snippets from a 2022 post on Heritage's website by researcher Emma Waters. In the article, Waters — whose bio notes that she works at Heritage's "Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion and Family" — made the argument that the totalitarian Russian leader was pro-family despite his regime killing millions of people.
"Joseph Stalin had an utter disregard for human life, and his regime claimed the lives of 9,000,000-20,000,000 of its own subjects. Yet even Stalin understood that society depended on strong, intact families," Waters wrote.
Waters noted that after Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution, which ousted Tsar Nicholas II in 1917, Russia became the first nation in the world to legalize abortion and "quickly implemented an easy, inexpensive, no-fault divorce program" in order to put men and women on equal footing. She then lamented that Russian society saw a decline in marriage rates and an increase in "fatherless children."
Citing economist Elizabeth Brainerd, Waters praised Stalin for overturning the no-fault divorce law and introducing policies that were "designed to encourage family life." Notably, one of those policies was an extra tax on "single people and married couples with fewer than three children." She also heaped praise on Stalin for outlawing abortion and making divorce so "expensive and complicated" that he effectively instituted a "prohibition on divorce."
"Let this sink in. Even the monstrous Stalin, who is responsible for millions of deaths and atrocities, saw that a society needs intact families with both mothers and fathers, if it is to flourish," Waters wrote.
This is remarkably similar to what 2024 Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) proposed in a 2021 interview with far-right activist Charlie Kirk.
"[W]e need to reward the things that we think are good and punish the things that we think are bad," Vance said. "So you talk about tax policy, let’s tax the things that are bad and not tax the things that are good. If you’re making $100,000, $400,000 a year and you’ve got three kids, you should pay a different, lower rate than if you are making the same amount of money and you don’t have any kids. It’s that simple.”
Heritage's celebration of Stalin ending no-fault divorce and criminalizing abortion is particularly revealing given the attention surrounding Project 2025. Heritage has batted down criticism of its 920-page playbook for the next Republican administration by arguing that it doesn't directly call for a total abortion ban or an end to no-fault divorce (in which a petitioner can ask the court to dissolve a marriage without having to prove the other party violated the marital contract). But given that former President Donald Trump implemented roughly two-thirds of Heritage's policy recommendations in his first-year of office, it isn't far-fetched to assume the group could push for those policies to be put in place should Trump win a second term.
Notably, the call to tax adults without children at a higher rate is unpopular with some swaths of MAGA. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy — who is a childless adult with a net worth in excess of $100 million — called the idea "f—ing idiotic" and sharply criticized Vance for proposing the idea.
"You want me to pay more taxes to take care of other people's kids? We sure this dude is a Republican? Sounds like a moron," Portnoy tweeted. "If you can't afford a big family don't have a ton of kids."

Project 2025 indirectly aims to reinstate Blue Laws. Many of us probably remember those.
Not only will retail, food and beverage and entertainment be impacted but so will professional and collegiate sports. Everything from NFL to OSU wrestling, soccer and baseball/softball.
Probably means the end to Sunday afternoon games at the collegiate level. Many restaurants and local businesses will close on Sundays.

Typical responses from sheep in a cult. Maybe this section of Project 2025 doesn’t get implemented but do yourselves a favor and look up for yourself the actual language of Project 2025.
Straight from the document. They admit they are looking back to the days of blue laws and that was the inspiration and aim of the desired proposed legislation.
“Sabbath Rest. God ordained the Sabbath as a day of rest, and until very recently the Judeo-Christian tradition sought to honor that mandate by moral and legal regulation of work on that day. Moreover, a shared day off makes it possible for families and communities to enjoy time off together, rather than as atomized individuals, and provides a healthier cadence of life for everyone. Unfortunately, that communal day of rest has eroded under the pressures of consumerism and secularism, especially for low-income workers.
Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)9 to require that workers be paid time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath. That day would default to Sunday, except for employers with a sincere religious observance of a Sabbath at a different time (e.g., Friday sundown to Saturday sundown); the obligation would transfer to that period instead. Houses of worship (to the limited extent they may have FLSA-covered employees) and employers legally required to operate around the clock (such as hospitals and first responders) would be exempt, as would workers otherwise exempt from overtime.”
Bolded sections are theirs not my adds.

So, this day of rest is important enough that they feel that someone required to work it should get time and a half. That is, unless you are a first responder or work at a church or hospital. Then, your "family time" doesn't mean jack. Proving that the purpose of this is manipulate behaviors with punishment, not to honor and reward people who are expected to work during family time. Imagine that.
BTW, laws like this are present in Australia. But, it is not entirely religious based calling in the Sabbath, it is award based on required work outside of typical work hours. There are differentials built into the law to compensate people for being required to work at times that by tradition are personal/family time. This makes much more logical sense than framing it based on a single day religious belief of a dwindling number of citizens.
