Every once in a while, I read an article that is so important and so powerful that I want to give it as much attention as possible. This is such an article. Please read it and share it. Post the link on every social media site. Send it to school board members and journalists. The article was written by Dr. Maurice Cunningham, a retired Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts. Cunningham has been studying “dark money” in education for years.

Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump has threatened revenge against his political opponents, as The New York Times has extensively reported.

Donald Trump’s mental deterioration raises the question, would he be able to carry out his ideas as president? His ally the Heritage Foundation prepared for this by setting out a detailed, step-by-step plan, Project 2025, to gut our freedoms that anyone could follow.

Donald Trump’s upcoming appearance at the 2024 Moms for Liberty (M4L) national summit presents clear evidence of the tight relationship among Trump, M4L, and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.

Former President Donald Trump claimed in early July he knows “nothing about Project 2025,” the Heritage Foundation’s 920-page manifesto for his second administration. By the end of the month, the project was reportedly shuttered due to Trump’s “sustained criticism.” Creating that distance may be strategic on his part.
