A letter to the editor from Rhino Times reader Christian Rice
Trump claims to have no knowledge of Project 2025. No surprise he is yet again lying. How do we know?
1)Trump has many ties to the Heritage Foundation (authors of Project 2025). He was a keynote speaker at their 2022 conference where he announced the work the foundation did (Project 2025) would be crucial to his policy goals. Are we supposed to believe he didn’t know what he was saying in 2022? Nope, Trump is lying.
2) His last administration implemented an even higher percentage of Heritage Foundations’ recommendations than Reagan. (Trump 67% per the foundation’s website, Regan ~33%) Are we supposed to believe he has turned his back on their advice suddenly? Nope, Trump is lying.
3) Over 20 individuals who Trump appointed to his last administration are active authors in Project 2025. Are we supposed to believe his influence was lost on these individuals? Nope, Trump is lying.
Project 2025 clearly shows the modern conservative’s priorities and what doesn’t matter to them:
- Complete ban on abortions, without exceptions (because women’s health doesn’t matter)
- End marriage equality (because freedom of religion doesn’t matter)
- Elimination of unions and worker protections (because worker’s rights don’t matter)
- Defund the FBI and Homeland Security (because controls on power don’t matter)
- Eliminate federal agencies like the FDA, EPA, NOAA, and more (Because environment and science don’t matter)
- Cut Social Security (because wealthy people matter more than elderly)
- Cut Medicare (because wealthy people matter more than elderly)
- Teach Christian religious beliefs in public schools (because freedom of religion doesn’t matter)
- End the Affordable Care Act (no longer says replace Trump failed to do that ‘in two weeks’ as he promised last time).
- Ban contraceptives (because women’s rights don’t matter)
- Additional tax breaks for corporations and the 1% (Because only money for wealthy and big business matters, NOT YOU)
- End climate protections: (because science doesn’t matter, and profits are more important than the environment)
- Deregulate big business and the oil industry (because profits are more important than impact to the greater good of the communities that big business has a history or poisoning, cheating, and taking advantage of in the name of greed)
Trump has a history of lying and a history of favoring the wealthy and big business over the average American. Just remember in 2017, Trump passed a bill where people who make less than 75k per year have their taxes increased every two years until 2027. Yet he gave the wealthy and big business permanent tax cuts. So yeah, he knows what he is doing just like he knew in 2016. Step on the average man for the benefit of the wealthy. So of course, he is yet again lying. Not complicated.

I guess this is an example of the designer tin foil hat wearer calling other common tin foil hat wearers silver
Just sayin’
LOl, fair enough. But I have given some solid evidence that makes his statement that he knows nothing about project 2025 a bit sketchy if not an outright lie (as usual). The biggest hole in my argument is that no way Trump could read 900 pages, but I assume he has been briefed on the content of the plan by many in his circle. Given that many in his circle play a role in writing the plan.
I hope I am wrong. But I don’t believe I am.
Is this “solid evidence” that you claim privy to in the very same secure locker that Adam Shiff uses? Your list is laughable. Only a card-carrying Democrat would pretend to take that serious. I tried to read it, but it made my eyes bleed, after the first 3 or 4.
“…Trump passed a bill…”
Oh, and the President can’t pass a bill, only Congress can
He was the chief sponsor of the bill written by his party as his first accomplishment in office. So, yup, it was his bill and it passed based on his actions. So, claim again that he represents the working class?
More evidence that sheeple do exist. I wonder where this liar gets their information. By the way I can poke a lot of holes in this garbage post!
Yet you fail to give even one.
Hmmmmm
Here is one. The very first. Abortion laws are up to each state. (Because Republicans follow the laws)
Please do not ask for more. The fact that you actually take this crap serious makes me do one of those cry/laughs.
Poke holes if you can. From my reading of Project 2025, Chris has offered a fair assessment of the its intentions. Trump’s attempt to distance himself from it confirms that it is a radical document that no reasonable person would follow. Problem is: It was prepared by and promoted by Trump insiders. Go ahead and poke holes.
Thx for sharing, Chris.
The author forgot to mention that Republicans sometimes fail to brush their teeth before going to bed.
I forget that Austin has a bathroom fetish and wants to check inside the pants of those using restrooms to be sure that fit his definition of gender.
What..???
You’ve really gone over the edge, mate.
I’ll pray for your mental health.
Glen, your commandeer and cheat just bowed out not by choice but by force after the recent exposure of his lifelong ineptitude and senility that has been covered up by the corrupt lamestream lying media, the lying KJP, the dei check the box side piece Karmala Harris and all of the Marxist commies that have been trying to burn down the country since she weaseled his way into the Oval Office. The Democrat party is the party of corruption! The funniest thing is as soon as the black folk who have been USED by the wicked Dems figure out the Democrats are the party of the wealthy and the party of the elites the Democrat party will lose its old faithful voter base and hopefully go to hell and take all you self righteous Marxist socialist commie progressives with it.
So many scary words used incorrectly. Yup. Angry conservative is here. More ranting with no basis in facts.
You are correct! The democrats and the left based media could no longer keep Biden from being exposed. It was not just the American citizens that already knew but world leaders seen his weakness. If anyone thinks they have it better under the Biden regime are delusional. Trump is only human however he is a savvy businessman and learned a lot about politics also how dirty politicians try to hide their crooked agenda
Thank goodness the White House, Democratic party and their media allies have been truthful about the Commander in Chief and leader of the free world’s mental and physical health. That is, until it looked like he could lose the election. And then all of a sudden, the “truth” comes out and things get more truthful every day.
Here’s a truth I would like to know. Who has been running the country the last 12 months?
12 months? Don’t you mean the past 3 1/2 years?
On pretty sure the media was harsh on Jim since he announced he was running again. Even Jon Stewart called him out on his advanced age and physical/mental challenges.
David, my good man… isn’t it very clear by all of the Marxist playbook programs and anti American policies that Barack Obama IS the man behind the curtain.
It is rumored that Obama was the one who finally convinced Biden to step aside. End of the day, it was a choice not a mandate. But that is always a thin line to be sure. We will never really KNOW if Biden was made an offer he couldn’t refuse or if was just finally made aware of his own mental failings of late.
Anyone who says they KNOW, are lying to feed their agenda using the “I thunk it so it mus be true” logic.
And yet, you insisted that you KNOW how the Trump shooter voted. Interesting. Hypocrite.
*******
LOL!
Don nailed you there, didn’t he?
Surprised that this was published; thought the Rhino was conservative. Much of the “info” is incorrect.
The Rhino Times is one of the few local forums where robust and vibrant free debate can still take place.
That means we see idiocy along with perspicacity.
———
And most of the info is incorrect because it come from our resident Lying Liberal.
Don’t worry Austin, you will get better at making fact-based comments one day. There is still hope for you.
Thank you.
I am immensely relieved that an intellectual giant like you has given me hope.
Austin, please don’t use sarcasms with this libtard. They and by they I mean dumbacrats really don’t get it. College degrees don’t come with common sense or intelligence quite frankly.
You are so right, Buddy! In a previous Comment Column dialogue he completely missed the sarcasm.
Why?
Because he’s just not very intelligent.
He’s a knee jerk Leftist who tries to dispel his own insecurities by “winning: arguments here. He never admits that he’s wrong (unless he’s caught irrefutably in one of his many lies), because he doesn’t possess the intellectual honesty to do so.
He’s just a tiresome, predictable blowhard who pollutes these columns with his pedantry and sophistry.
Sorry little creep, all around.
Lol why don’t you guys go get a shot of Ivermecton and ingest bleach so you don’t get covid. Then tell me how smart you are.
Oh and let’s also recall that you two intellectual elites are supporting for leader a the free world, a man that believes climate change is a China conspirarcy, stared at the sun to watch the eclipse, once said “nobody new Healthcare was so hard, said he met the President of the Virgin Islands when HE WAS the president of the Virgin Islands, bankrupted his casinos by building casinos to compete against his own casinos. I could go on for days!
I think the sign of your lack of intelligence is proven by who you claim is the better option to lead the free world. Only fools would support a fool for president.
” I think the sign of your lack of intelligence” is displayed by the many solecisms, spelling errors, fallacies, and non-sequiturs in your comment.
You can’t even spell Ivermectin.
Yeah, we’re thick and you’re the genius… only in your little brain, Chrissy.
From VOX, a left leaning web site:
Contrary to some online claims, Project 2025 itself does not call for ending no-fault divorce, a complete ban on abortions without exceptions, a ban on contraceptives, raising the retirement age, teaching Christian beliefs in public schools, ending marriage equality, banning Muslims from entering the country, or abolishing the FDA and EPA.
VOX seems to disagree with you.
I read that same article which is what got me to read the actual Project 2025 in pdf form online as other analysis of their plan.
Page 450: covers the topic of its ban on abortions. It is very clear that natural death is the only acceptable death, and that abortion and euthanasia are not health care. Seems clear to me.
Page 484: removing the contraceptive mandate for health coverage cutting off women off from contraceptives is rather direct argument from my perspective that contraception isn’t a right.
The topic of religious studies in public school’s mandate is tricker to align and I had to rely on analysis from a couple of sources to understand the concern. Project 2025 pitches a significant shift in school funding away from Federal support and move to States where the push for inclusion of religious studies mandate at the State level where this has been historically blocked by Federal funding mandates.
Page 77 covers the social security reforms with specific targets to federal employees increasing their retirement ages as well as allowing organizations to exempt from SS benefits if replaced with like (assumed cheaper and higher retirement age)
Muslim ban isn’t that is specifically calls for banning of Muslims, but it removes that laws that blocked past attempt by Trump to ban certain groups of people from entering the US. Given Trumps history, I fully agree that is the intent.
So I agree with the other reporting that the project 2025 does indeed align federal policy to allow these items if not specially calling for them in plain language.
OMG! Trump a liar? I hope you weren’t intending to educate the American public of this fact! BTW, it doesn’t matter since they’ll vote for him despite his being a liar, a rapist, and just a damned buffoon. Got to love those Republicans.
Trump is not a rapist.
Reality is difficult for Democrats…
Funny how conservatives ignore Trumps own words about sexually assaulting women and courts acknowledging his sexual assault of a woman he now owes millions of dollars.
“Sexual Assault” is not rape.
Among Leftists it can be an offhand vulgar comment. Or a butt pinch. It is not rape – we all know what that is.
Leftists distort words because they distort truth.
They lie because their leader is The Father of Lies.
The term “sexual violence” is an all-encompassing, non-legal term that refers to crimes like sexual assault, rape, and sexual abuse.
Let him have a go at your the women in your life they way he went after Jean Carrol or how he bragged aboutnhownhe could sexually assault women anyway he wanted and see if you split hairs over what YOU define as rape.
I prefer my Presidents respect women enough to not sexually assault them and then joke about how easy it is to get away with.
But you be you.

I’d much sooner leave my daughter in the company of Donald Trump that the creepy hair sniffing pervert that is Joe Biden!
Who’s lying? I truly wish people would get out of their bunkers and actually listen to what the other side has to say.

This was an interview Harris Faulkner, the Day Donald Trump got shot.
So now Trump achknowlges he is aware of the Project 2025 scope. His recent posts where he had never heard of it?
Sweetie boy Chris, you’re full of crap
Double AMEN!! Trump wants nothing but good things for America. The man didnt need the job. He could make Billions with his previous business. He wouldnt have been charged with anything if he hadn’t put his name in to run again. The Dems cooked all this up to get him to fold. Guess what he didnt, even a bullet wont make him give up. I guess the DEMS like paying higher gas prices, high groceries, higher Insurance, higher taxes, etc..
Most of businesses are losing money per most analysis of his financial statements I have read. But it isn’t about money. It’s about his ego. And if he wanted to do good things for America why did he lower his taxes but raise yours? The unfunded tax cut for the wealthy and big business were just more socialism for the wealthy.
Thats funny. The only people that are doing better since The Biden Admin took over is our enemies…..and they are doing GREAT!
Funny how conservative love to ignore Covid pandemic and its impact on the global economy and that the US has fared better than the majority of our global peers. So technically we are doing waaaaaaaay better than when Biden took office.
But you can pretend to ignore the facts.
If only all that were true, then I would vote for Trump.
The only problem with Trump’s four years in office was the media obsession. TDS was rampant. And he has already backed off the 2025 He is far from stupid
When he left office
Gas 1.87
Interest rates under 4%
Inflation1.7%. My investments were booming!!!
More robust military(which we need desperately)
Lowest black unemployment in decades. Small business great!!
Jewish people were not being persecuted Abraham accords
We were building a border wall. Low crossing numbers. And on and on and on. I could really keep going but proof is in the numbers
You do recall covid shut the economy down which is big part of the low gas prices and interest rates and not to mention the spike in inflation from supply chain disruptions once the pandemic ended?
Ah, another person regurgitating the talking points handed out by Occupy Democrats on Project 2025. So much of this is misinterpretation, mischaracterization, and outright misinformation. Even some left-leaning outlets have said the memes and little web posts are largely misleading. Yup, a bunch of the people involved with it were in the Trump administration, that doesn’t mean they talked to him about it. I mean Joe’s been serving as President for 3+ years and all sorts from the administration to the media have said he’s been sharp as a tack and completely on his game the whole while. We’re supposed to believe them, right? Willing to bet 99% of the people who squawk about how bad it is haven’t read even 10% of it. If you had read a good portion of it, you would know there are parts that Trump would not support. If you want to critique it, stick to something that is accurate … the policy statements are all over the spectrum and seem to lack some uniformity. It seems to be an attempt to be all things to anyone on the right. Goes too far in some places, not far enough in others. Nevertheless, people see and hear what they want to see and hear when it suits them.
But that is the point. By lying about having never heard of the document (clearly a lie), he doesn’t have to answer questions about which provisions he supports or disagree with.
Chris, I haven’t read or posted anything in the Rhino in over a year. I come back home look at the first letter to the editor and surprise surprise surprise same old stupidity you were spouting when I left. You are the idiot on the interstate that has driven a car every day for 20 years and you STILL SUCK at it. Think boy!
Not surprised even after a year, you are still adding no value with your comments. Just hate and insults. Got it. Maybe next year you.will have matured enough to participate like an adult.
But you be you.
Oh that’s rich coming from the jerk whose comments are nothing but hate and insults !
Chrissy likes to denigrate us as moonshine swilling rednecks, conservative nutters, bigots, awful people, simpletons, and con men.
He’s a very angry little man with way too much time on his hands.
It sounds like Mr. Rice has been drinking out of his toilet. . . .not a good thing.
People should be a lot more worried about Agenda 2030, and the WEF, UN, WHO, and their plans to transform the world.
But, hey! I’m old, no kids or grandkids! Yours will be the ones living in “1984”!

“CM” is right.
There is a global effort to impose a new feudalism. They’re not being secretive either. “Build Back Better”, “The Great Reset”, “15 Minute Cities”… these are the terms they’re using.
They intend to disarm us, corral us into concentration camps (“15 Minute Cities”), deny us our physical freedom (no cars – and don’t even think of flying), control our money (no cash), control our speech ( no “misinformation” permitted), and make us into their serfs.
The US Democrat Party is fully on board, as are most Western leaders. They perceive the biggest threat to their plan comes from populists like Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Victor Orban, and Geert Wilders.
That’s why they’re targeting Trump.
These Davos men of the World Economic Forum are such pure evil that they even come across as caricatures. Klaus Schwab is the embodiment of a Bond villain.
Global plans are all hot air. Countries can’t even agree on consistent climate policies. LOL I will keep my focus on domestic plans such as the Project 2025 that want to strip personal freedoms, allow big business run amuck of our environment, worker rights and small business in replace democracy with a fascist mentality of one party over all people.
So what do you think the World Economic Forum is all about?
Their plans are explicitly outlined in their own words. You can deny it all you like, but that and the UN’s Agenda 2030 lay it all out.
Indonesia disagree but given political structures of.the free world, itnwiild never happen as the people of each country would have to support a group of political leaders that would all have to agree on the exact same path, timing and approach to implement such a plan. End of the day it really is a vision document and not an actual plan to be implement such as Project 2025.
Won day you lurn speakee Inglish..????
Did the “Rev” Sharpton leave a big donation for the civil wrongs museum to help defray some expense on the taxpayers?
Yes Chucky Trump is lying as always, no surprise to me. I refuse to support sin. Neither do I have to vote, that is my person right! All parties are evil and crocked. Wake up America. Jesus’ prophecies are being fulfilled as days go by and the world will get worse, whether anyone believe in Jesus or not.
It’s obvious this Chris troll is just another liberal loser, lives in his mommy’s basement with cats and has never been with a women. Typical democrat male.
Here is some info for people on project 2025. Project 2025 was written by contributors to the Heritage Foundation think tank. The contributors (for the last 40+ years) are made up of former administration employees, educators, politicians, etc.The republican party has never actually endorsed project 2025. The Dems and the Rebublicans both use think tanks for suggested new policy and policy changes (if you Google top political think tanks, you can check them out). There are actually several non partisan think tanks, although the Heritage Foundation that wrote project 2025 leans conservative. They have been publishing the Mandate for Leadership for years and you can download and read it and previous versions as well. But it’s just something that both sides do as far as using think tanks. It’s certainly worth taking a look at. Like all things political, it pays to wade through the garbage to find the facts. Now stop saying Republicans endorse this.
Well aren’t you the prime example of Pomp & Circumstance Judgement. WRONG
